When Qiao Daguo heard the news that she was stable, he finally felt relieved and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoli and won't let her get out of bed from now on."
Seeing that Qiao Daguo's attitude was still good, Qiao Qiping did not pursue the matter of him not taking good care of his grandson's wife any further.
Then the family went to the yard to have lunch. Qiao Daguo prepared some food for Chen Li separately and brought it into the house for her.
Then I would stay in the room and eat with my wife so that she wouldn't feel bored eating alone.
Qiao Xiazhi in the yard smelled the sour pickled cucumbers made by her mother and started drooling.
"When I'm away from home, what I miss most is the pickled cucumbers my mother made."
"Mom, did you make a lot of these pickled cucumbers this year? I want to bring some with me when I go to Hai City in a couple of days."
Fang Mei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I made a lot just for you. I thought you wouldn't come back, so I was going to send it to you after I'm done with this."
"In addition, your sister-in-law also made two sets of cotton-padded clothes and trousers for you and Yun Chen. The winter in the north is very cold, so cotton-padded clothes and trousers are indispensable."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiazhi said coquettishly, "Family is still the best. Thank you, mother, thank you, sister-in-law, and thank you, my dear family."
Zhu Shizhen: "The north is not like the south. The winter is very cold. I heard that it starts getting cold in September. You have to heat the kang to survive the winter. Remember to store more firewood so you don't freeze."
Qiao Xiazhi: "Don't worry, grandma. We have already prepared and stockpiled a lot of firewood, charcoal, and coal briquettes. We will definitely not be cold this winter."
Zhu Shizhen felt relieved when he learned that his granddaughter and her husband had already stockpiled firewood. Then he asked, "What about food? Is there enough food?"
Qiao Xiazhi: "It's enough. We still have a lot of food when we first went there. When we get there, we will buy some more if we have the chance. Now we have enough food at home to last until this time next year."
Zhu Shizhen: "That's good. If you don't have enough food, just write a letter home and your grandma and your mother will send you some more. But don't starve yourself, understand?"
Qiao Xiazhi did not refuse and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I know. I said that I won't starve myself. If things are bad outside, I will run home. I'm not afraid."
Qiao Qiping: "That's right. If the weather outside is bad, come back quickly. We can't let you go without a bite of food at home."
"Everything is going well with Yun Chen during this time?"
Qiao Xiazhi nodded, and then briefly told his family about how well he had been doing in Hai City.
So that everyone can rest assured.
As they chatted, Qiao Dashan asked, "Do you want to come back here with Yun Chen to celebrate the New Year this year?"
Qiao Xiazhi shook his head: "We won't be back for the New Year this year. We already took our leave for Yunchen's fake wedding, so it would be bad to ask for more leave. Let's wait and see the situation next year."
Qiao Xiazhi was thinking that he wouldn't be able to come back for the Chinese New Year, so he came back alone during the National Day holiday to take a look.
Come back to deliver some food, and then go to the black market to have a look.
When she goes back later, she may have to prepare for pregnancy.
This matter should be done sooner rather than later. After giving birth to the child, she can concentrate on her career in the future.
As soon as they heard that they would not be back for the New Year, Fang Mei and Zhu Shizhen began to think about preparing more things for them now so that they could take them over when Xia Zhi returned.
Qiao Xiazhi could naturally see the love her family had for her, and immediately said, "I came back alone this time, and it's not convenient to take the train. When we pass Haishi, please don't pack me a lot of stuff. It will be very inconvenient to squeeze into the train then."
"You can buy anything there, you don't have to worry."
Fang Mei: "Then when we finish our work in the fields later, your mother and grandmother will prepare the things and ask your eldest brother to send them to you."
"What you can buy outside is what's available outside. What's made at home is made by your mom and grandma. They're all your favorites. You can't taste the taste of home outside."
Qiao Xiazhi did not refuse the love from his family and agreed with a smile: "Okay, okay, as long as mom is happy. It would be even better if you could send your family and everyone over to spend the New Year with us."
Qiao Dongzhi: "Don't think about it. Sister-in-law is pregnant. If she wasn't pregnant, we might have come to see you."
Qiao Xiazhi smiled and said, "Then next year or the year after that, or the year after that will be fine."
"Sure, sure." The whole family thought this was feasible and no one refused.
After dinner, the family continued to work in the fields, and Qiao Xiazhi stayed at home to accompany his sister-in-law and read a book.
Su Fang went back after lunch as he had to be on duty at night.
When Chen Li woke up from her nap, Qiao Xiazhi was worried that she was bored, so he chatted with her for a while.
Only then did she find out that her family had had a quarrel with the aunt who had previously disliked her for giving too little gift.
The reason was that the cousin's grandson was playing around and went to rob a bird's nest, then fell from a tree and landed right in the field where Qiao Daguo and his colleagues were working.
Qiao Daguo kindly took him back home, but the aunt-in-law ended up blackmailing their family.
She insisted that her grandson fell because he was scared by their work.
Her grandson often takes bird eggs and has never fallen down. Why did Qiao Daguo's grandson fall down when he was working there?
Qiao Dashan didn't want to make a big or embarrassing thing, so he paid five dollars in compensation and the matter was over.
"Fortunately, her grandson's fall wasn't serious, otherwise our family would have to be blackmailed by her for the rest of our lives."
Hearing this, Qiao Xiazhi said, "That's not certain. Who knows when she'll run out of money and come back to blackmail you again."
"Next time something like this happens, talk to Big Brother. Don't save everyone. Some people deserve to be killed."
