Zhou Huaian couldn't help grinning at the well-behaved appearance of his wife. He felt relieved when he felt that the temperature of his palm was indeed not hot.
"It's good that you don't feel uncomfortable. Sit down and wake up. We will be home in half an hour. Have a good rest after we get home."
It's easy to imagine that you won't be able to get a good rest on the ox cart. It's swaying all the way, which makes you dizzy anyway. The swaying will make you even more dizzy. There's no way you can expect to be comfortable on the ox cart.
"Got it. Let's wake up the kids too, so they don't get tired when they go back."
It was enough that I slept for such a long time. I woke up a few children and touched their backs. There was no sweat, just warmth, so I felt relieved.
Su Qingxue thought that the whole family had taken the old man's special car today, so she would have to give him some gifts when she got back. Moreover, she often asked the old man to help bring things, so he would not suffer any loss. However, she still had to thank him more. It happened that she had gone on a long journey this time, so giving the old man some local specialties from Beijing would be the best gift.
I thought that I brought half a sack of Beijing pastries, so I would get a box for the old man when I got back.
There is also Feng Xue's family, and we usually have exchanges. I went back to give her a box.
At this time, no one will accept gifts casually. Even if they accept gifts, they will return something of similar value. Give and take is the way to get along long-term.
Needless to say, Sun Rui will definitely get his share. The team leader's family, the old village chief's family, and Aunt Cui's family will each receive a box of pastries. As for other families, we'll talk about it later!
After thinking about it, I finally decided that I should send a box to the family of the midwife in the village. My triplets were delivered by her. Although I paid her, at least she was very dedicated and took great care of the delivery. She didn't do any incision. Although I don't plan to give birth anymore, there's a chance that I might need her help. It's still necessary to maintain some favors.
I was thinking about things and didn't feel the passage of time. Soon I arrived at the door of my house. The gate to the yard was locked. I could tell at a glance that Sun Rui was not at home because he had gone to work.
He took out the key and opened the door. Zhou Huaian had already carried the children down to the ground and was carrying the luggage down.
"Xiao Rui, Xiao Zhi, take your sisters and go into the house quickly."
Su Qingxue found the sack that contained the cakes, untied the sack directly at the door, took out a box of cakes from it and handed it to the old man, "Uncle, these are our cakes from the Golden Age, try them and see if they are delicious."
Who would dislike it? The old man was a little embarrassed to accept it. "It's just a matter of convenience. Such a precious thing should be saved for the children."
Although he was tempted, he would have to drive the ox cart back even if he didn't take their family, so he was really embarrassed to accept it. But when he thought of his grandchildren at home, he didn't feel so resolute.
"Uncle, please don't be polite. There is more at home, enough for several children to eat."
I grabbed five or six candies from the big bag and handed them to the old man. Nowadays, the assorted soft candies also have several flavors. At a glance, I found that the flavors of the five candies were different. There were orange flavor, apple flavor, pineapple flavor, peach flavor, red fruit flavor, and grape flavor. The remaining candies must have other flavors, but they were not picked out.
After several refusals, the old man finally accepted it.
Su Qingxue felt that this was good enough, as it didn't count as owing anyone a favor. She would rather give a little more than owe anyone a favor, as that would make her feel like she was carrying something particularly heavy on her shoulders.
After seeing the old man off, Zhou Huaian carried all the things into the house, then looked at the kettle in the house, opened the lid, put his finger on it to test it, and there was hot steam coming out from inside. It seemed that this was the boiling water today.
I washed a few cups, poured half a cup of boiling water into them, and prepared to wait until it cooled down a bit before giving it to the children to drink.
Su Qingxue thought it was troublesome. If the child was thirsty, he would have to wait for the water to cool down before drinking it. It would be better for him to drink some juice.
While the children were not paying attention, he took out a large can of fruit juice from the space and said, "Give this to the children. There are ice cubes in it. It's icy and cool. The children will definitely like it."
Especially when you feel dizzy while riding in a car, drinking a glass of ice juice will make you feel refreshed.
"I forgot about your baby. OK, let's have a drink."
Pour the boiled water back into the kettle, pour half a cup of juice for each person, and bring it into the house, "Are you thirsty? Come and have some juice."
The children's eyes lit up when they saw the juice. They hadn't had any juice to drink in the past few days at their grandparents' house, so they finally got to drink it again after returning home.
It was also because Su Qingxue was too cautious, and was afraid that the children would not keep their mouths shut, so when their grandparents asked what they had eaten today, they would just say that they drank juice. Although it could be done, it was relatively too troublesome at this time, so they simply did not drink it for the next half month.
Su Qingxue poured herself a cup and drank it down in one gulp. It was icy cool and went all the way down her throat to her stomach, making her feel refreshed.
After drinking it, the dizziness from riding the ox cart disappeared instantly, and I was mentally prepared to pack the things in the sack.
The biscuits and candies added up to about 20 to 30 kilograms. This was because the grandparents were worried that their grandchildren would not have any candy or biscuits to eat in the countryside, so they bought as much as they could and even exchanged some tickets with others, so there were so many in total.
This does not include those famous pastries. Some famous pastries do not require tickets, but are very expensive, about ten or twenty yuan a box. I bought about twenty boxes and carried them all back by myself.
