Zhou Huaian walked out of the yard and went straight to the cowshed. It was pitch black outside, with occasional rustling sounds, which might be the animals that did not sleep at night moving around.
After arriving at the cowshed, he did not see any light, so he quietly walked up and knocked on the door, using the code he had prepared in advance, and the door opened quickly.
The voice was small. "Why are you here so late? What happened?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'm just sending you some food. I have a lot at home, and I thought we wouldn't be able to finish it. I'm worried it would go bad if left out for too long, so I'm sending you some more."
If Zhou Huaian hadn't said that, they would definitely not accept it, thinking of leaving it for the children instead of eating it themselves. In fact, the children ate much better than they did.
Sure enough, the following words verified Zhou Huaian's guess:
"No need to send it to us. We still have a lot of bacon you sent over. We can't even finish it here. You can eat more for yourselves."
"I left it at home, so just keep these for you."
The noise here was soon heard by Su's father and mother who were sleeping on the other side. They opened the door and saw that it was their son-in-law who delivered something, so they felt relieved.
"Grandpa, please quickly collect the children's kindness. If they don't have anything to eat, they won't be able to help us. Now that they have sent so many things, it's obvious that they don't need anything."
Since his in-laws had already said so, Grandpa Gu accepted it, and he accepted it at an incredibly fast speed.
Just now he was just a little reserved in front of his in-laws. He had the right to accept his grandson's things, but his grandson's wife's parents lived next door. Although everyone shared the food, he still had to pretend to be nice.
Father Su shook his head in amusement and said, "Old child, old child. The older you get, the more childish you become."
"Huaian, how is Qingxue? Are the three children okay? How are the two grandchildren?"
Although he can't go to see his child, he still misses her. Fortunately, he knows that his son-in-law is a good person, and he is confident that his son-in-law will take good care of his daughter.
"Dad, don't worry. Qingxue is fine. The three little girls are also very easy to take care of. Except when they have poop or are hungry, they don't cry or make a fuss. Xiaorui and Xiaozhi are also very obedient. They sleep well at night. Sun Rui takes care of them when they sleep. Occasionally, they can help their mother pass some things. They are very diligent. They just think about looking after their sisters every day. They will definitely be good brothers who take care of their sisters in the future."
Zhou Huaian kept praising his two sons. The two children were indeed very obedient during this period. The smiles on their faces and the corners of their mouths could not be suppressed.
Hearing that his daughter and granddaughter were all fine, Father Su felt relieved and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. "That's good, that's good. If you have anything to say, just tell me. It's getting late now. Go back quickly. If Qingxue wants to do something, you can go and help her."
"Hey, don't worry, Dad. I'll be back soon."
After saying a few words and greeting others, Zhou Huaian prepared to go back.
I have to go to work tomorrow and can't delay any longer.
Fortunately, his wife is in good health. She can get out of bed and walk like a normal person, so he can feel a little more at ease when he goes to work.
When he got home, he saw that his wife was still awake and waiting for him. He walked up to her and kissed her lips, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I have to get the meat out and put it in the well now. I don't have to worry about it going bad."
They took a total of 100 kilograms of beef, about 20 kilograms of beef bones, and a whole set of offal.
Su Qingxue thought that she couldn't let everyone follow her and eat light food while she was in confinement, so she made some more and let them braise it.
"I'll keep these for you to eat. You can make some soup with them occasionally when I get tired of drinking chicken soup. You can handle the rest on your own."
During this half month of confinement, except for the first three days when I didn’t eat chicken soup, I really didn’t skip any meals after that. No matter how delicious it is, it can make you sick.
Now I stew it with various bones, but I’m really tired of it.
"Okay, I'll put the basket in the well first, and then I'll take it out and do it tomorrow."
Zhou Huaian never asked too many questions about what his wife took out, but would try his best to cover up any clues she revealed.
After Zhou Huaian left, Su Qingxue lay on the kang, thinking that the autumn harvest was almost halfway done, and it wouldn't be long before it would start to get cold again.
I really didn't calculate the time well this time, so it was so hot during the confinement period that I didn't even dare to use a fan.
I have to calculate the time carefully next time, but then I suddenly thought that there seems to be no next time. I have already prepared to stop having children, so whether I am hot or not has nothing to do with me.
We should buy more food this year. There are so many more people in the family, and it is definitely not enough to buy the same amount of food as last year.
Although there is food in the space, I just don't want to touch it. Most of the food in the space is used to support my parents and grandpa. Occasionally, I will go to the black market to buy some more to fill the gap. There is no other way because the village does not allow me to buy too much.
After Zhou Huaian came back, Su Qingxue told him about buying food and asked him to pay more attention to it.
"Don't worry, I will remember it. The most important thing for you now is to rest quickly. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Zhou Huaian planned to buy twice as much food this time. He certainly couldn't buy that much by himself, but he could ask other educated youth for help.
Su Qingxue felt that the confinement period was particularly long. The weather was too hot, so hot that it made her feel that the supernatural powers in her body seemed to be useless. She couldn't use a fan in the room, and could only place a basin of ice collected in the winter far away.
I dare not put too much, for fear that it will cause cold air to enter the body.
Only now at night can she feel a little cooler.
After enduring for a long time, I finally made it through this month. The first thing I did was to give myself a good bath. I stayed in the bathroom for two hours until my skin turned red and I felt like I had lost several pounds. Then I came out of the bathroom.
"Aunt Guilan, I've really troubled you this month. If it weren't for your help, it would have been a mess for me to take care of so many children by myself."
Today is Aunt Guilan's last day of helping. Su Qingxue is really grateful to her. For the past month, Aunt Guilan has been serving her during the day, cooking and washing clothes, and even cleaning the house. It seems that Aunt Guilan has lost weight after such hard work for a month.
