So after going to the black market to buy eggs, Zhou Huaian went straight to the state-owned restaurant.
He was not planning to invite the old man to dinner here. He wanted to go back early. He was really worried about his wife taking care of three children alone. Although Aunt Guilan was helping, the two older children were also a worry and he was worried that Aunt Guilan could not take care of them.
But since he had already planned to treat the old man to a good meal, he would not go back on his word, so he simply ordered two meat dishes and bought several white flour buns, preparing to pack them for the old man to take home.
As for himself, he is not planning to pack anything. He guarantees that the family will eat very well this month, with no lack of oil and water. On the contrary, since his wife is in confinement after childbirth, he will definitely benefit from her. After this confinement, he guarantees that he will gain several pounds.
Carrying the packed braised pork, stewed pork, and steamed buns, I rode my bicycle back to the ox cart.
At this time, there were already two aunties from the village sitting on the ox cart. Seeing that they were very curious about the package and touched it here and there, Zhou Huaian subconsciously turned cold.
Fortunately, the aunt in the village saw Zhou Huaian coming back, and quickly let go of his hand, pretending nothing had happened.
Zhou Huaian didn't even plan to ride the bicycle back, but tied it to the back of the ox cart. With so many things, he had to keep an eye on them. Who knew if there was some shameless person who wanted to know what was inside.
Zhou Huaian looked around and saw that there were still two people who had not arrived, so he simply handed the food he had packed to the old man and kept two steamed buns for himself.
"Uncle, this is the meal I packed specially for you. Thank you for your help today."
How could I have the nerve to accept his things?
What's more, even if he didn't put anything in the ox cart, it would be empty. It was just a favor, a small thing.
"No need, Comrade Zhou. Su Zhiqing is currently in confinement after giving birth. It would be better to leave some food for her so that she can take good care of herself. Triplets are more difficult than a single baby. She should eat more good food to replenish her body."
Zhou Huaian stuffed the food into the old man's arms, ignoring the old man's refusal. "There's more at home. I just bought some meat and bones to make soup for her. I bought this especially for you. Don't be polite, old man. Eat it quickly."
In this way, the two people pushed and refused for several times. The two aunts next to them had tears in their eyes and said, "No, you can give it to me. We don't mind at all." Unfortunately, no one paid attention to them.
Finally, the old man saw that Comrade Zhou really wanted to give it, so he accepted it and kept expressing his gratitude.
"Comrade Zhou, I'll wash this lunch box for you and send it back when we get back."
You can tell there is meat inside just by smelling it. How could the old man bear to eat them all by himself? He might as well take them home and let his grandchildren eat more.
So he took out a white flour bun and sat there eating it with Zhou Huaian.
Zhou Huaian was not familiar with the aunts in the two villages and they had never spoken to each other, so he simply did not send them off.
But this is also normal. Every household is short of food, so they won’t just go to other people’s homes to eat. When they see others eating, they won’t be shameless enough to ask for food.
Sometimes, curiosity and the desire to take advantage of others can never be restrained, so people find them annoying.
After waiting for more than half an hour, both of them had filled their stomachs, and the remaining two people finally came back.
Judging from their appearance, they had already eaten lunch and did not delay. After they got on the ox cart, the old man drove the cart back.
Zhou Huaian looked at the watch on his hand. It was almost twelve o'clock. He didn't expect to have wasted so much time. It was already two or three o'clock when he got home.
Fortunately, I bought everything this time, so I don’t have to go out next time and I can help my wife with more work at home.
When Zhou's mother, who was far away in Beijing, heard her son say that her daughter-in-law had given birth, she started a new round of packing.
As long as there are good things at home, they will not be missed. My daughter-in-law is the great contributor to this family, so she deserves it no matter how much she is given.
This time, there are three adorable and soft granddaughters, and the jewelry in her dowry finally found a use for it.
Of course, as the daughter-in-law who made great contributions, she did not forget it either.
He went straight to the secret room where she hid her treasures, picked out and chose, and picked out about five boxes of good things. He and Zhou's father quietly moved them to the house given to his daughter-in-law.
Two of the boxes were for my daughter-in-law, which can be passed on to my grandson's wife and great-grandson's wife. The remaining three boxes were for each granddaughter, to be kept as dowries. They were all good things. If they hadn't been hidden tightly, they would have been gone long ago.
There is also a secret room in the three-in-one courtyard house. No one lives in it, so things placed in the secret room will not attract attention. They can be seen when the son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren come back.
When he mailed the things, there were five large packages. Apart from one large package containing small clothes and shoes for the children, the rest were various edible things. He even went to the bank and withdrew 2,000 yuan as a reward for his daughter-in-law.
They went to the post office with large and small packages to send things, and people living in the same compound soon found out that Zhou's daughter-in-law had given birth to triplets again.
Although this time they gave birth to triplets, they already had twin sons. In addition, the people in the compound are of high quality and there is no preference for boys over girls.
After hearing this good news, I could only feel envious, thinking that their Zhou family had accumulated great fortune from being a single family to having many branches and leaves now.
Even when Zhou's father was playing chess with others, he appeared to be very humble in the face of others' envy and praise, but in fact he was very proud of himself.
What he said was somewhat Versailles. After coming a few more times, fewer people came to play chess with him.
Although Zhou's father was very happy that his son and daughter-in-law had given him three granddaughters, he always felt a little unhappy whenever he thought about naming them.
It would have been bad enough that his two grandsons didn't have names, but now he doesn't even have a share of the three granddaughters.
I spent several months thinking of names for both boys and girls, but unfortunately I had no use for them.
As for the name of his great-grandson, he would not hold out too much hope. After all, he is not young anymore. Who knows if he can wait until that time?
He scolded the unfilial son in his heart for ten pages, and finally let him go.
So when Zhou Huaian received the letter more than a week later, he felt that his father was quite talkative. Although he was a very serious person, he could talk about himself for ten pages without repeating himself, which made him admire him.
