After listening for a while, he went back to his room with a frown.
"Master, Master, the second son is so happy that he is jumping up and down. What news did his brother-in-law send him?
Just now I seemed to hear them shouting "I have a job" and "I have a job". What does that mean? ”
The man lying on the bed didn't even turn his head. "Hey, go to sleep. You've been busy all day and you're still gossiping about other people's affairs. Do you think everyone is as idle as you? You're still working. Work is such a precious thing, who would give it to others? You're like a gold ingot dropped from the sky."
Mrs. Qiu thought about it and agreed. Maybe she was overthinking it. If such a thing happened, it would never be the second son's turn.
Liu Axia and her husband tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep at night. Just as they drooped their eyelids, the roosters outside began to crow.
The couple quickly got up and packed their things. The weather was still cold, so in addition to a change of clothes, Qiu Qiang also packed a five or six kilogram quilt for Liu Axia.
Liu Axia looked at the quilt and said, "Leave this old quilt at home. Get me the old one."
Qiu Qiang tied up the quilt and said, "Take this one. It's warm. I can just use it for a casual meal at home. If it's cold, I can warm myself by the fire. It's not as convenient as home when you're outside. And if you bring a torn quilt, people will laugh at you."
Liu Axia stopped talking, put on her coldest clothes, and combed her hair while watching her husband pack her things.
His eyes are full of yearning and expectation for the future.
After casually putting a steamed sweet potato in his pocket, Qiu Qiang carried the bag and led Liu Axia to the town.
The couple left home at 5:30 and it was already past 6:40 when they arrived in town, panting.
The two of them went as they had agreed yesterday and waited in front of the grain and oil store behind the shuttle bus stop.
After a while, Qiao Youcai also arrived.
From a distance, seeing the muddy soles of the couple's shoes and trouser legs, one could tell that they must have walked back from home in the dark on their own legs.
He didn't say anything, and first bought seven large meat buns from the state-owned restaurant in town before meeting the two men at the entrance of the grain and oil station.
"Second sister, second brother-in-law, you are here earlier than me?" Qiao Youcai arrived before him.
Liu Axia and Qiu Qiang quickly stood up from the ground and said, "No, we just got here too."
Qiao Youcai took out a bun from the oil-paper bag and handed the rest to Liu Axia and Qiu Qiang, "Have breakfast, the shuttle bus will arrive in a while."
Liu Axia quickly waved her hands, "No, no, we've already eaten. Yes, we ate first before coming here."
Qiao Youcai stuffed the bag into her arms and said, "Even if you eat, you'll be hungry after traveling such a long distance. Eat quickly. You may have to work right away when you get to the city. You won't be able to do it without energy."
Liu Axia no longer refused after hearing this, "Thank you."
She took one and handed the oil paper bag to Qiao Youcai, who took it and put it into Qiu Qiang's arms.
"You can't just watch us eat, I didn't show any courtesy to you guys when I ate the brown sugar eggs last night."
Qiu Qiang was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took one, and handed the remaining oil paper bag to Qiao Youcai.
Qiao Youcai didn't take it. "The rest is for the child. As his uncle, I should treat the child to a meat bun. I'll have to ask you to eat it together."
