Although my mother-in-law sends some money every month, since the children are with her in the future, I will try to let her spend less money on me and Zhou Huaian, so that I will feel better.
It saves me from spending their money, and the children also spend their money, which always makes me feel embarrassed. Now it’s good enough to buy a little more for myself.
I made several trips, each time with a different look, until I had stored about 200 kilograms of dried seafood.
I quietly collected 100 kilograms in the space, and took the remaining 100 kilograms directly back to the compound. When I was ready to go back, I mailed them back together, so I could take them out openly.
Mother Zhou was quite surprised to see her daughter-in-law coming back with a big bag of dried seafood. She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law would like to eat this so much. It seems that she could mail more to her in the future.
"I didn't know you guys actually liked to eat this. If I had known you guys liked it, I would have mailed more."
Zhou's mother wondered in her heart, was it because she had sent too little before?
It seems that I should send more back in the future. After all, it is not only my son and daughter-in-law who need to eat it, but also my old father.
"I bought quite a lot this time. It's enough for Huai'an and I to eat for a long time. I'll ask mom to mail it to me after we finish eating it."
Su Qingxue didn't want her to send more. What she bought now and the 100 kilograms stored in the space were already enough. The five children would not live with her and Zhou Huaian in the future, so the couple could eat them alone for several years.
Mother Zhou thought about it and realized that two people really couldn't eat much, so she put the matter aside for the time being.
Su Qingxue thought of the fruit trees planted in the Houhai yard and almost forgot, "Mom, I planted a lot of fruit trees in the Houhai yard. If you have time, go and water them. By next year or the year after, I think there will be no shortage of fruit at home."
Zhou's mother was quite surprised. She didn't expect her daughter-in-law to be so capable. "Okay, I'll remember. What kind of fruit tree did you plant?"
"Apples, pears, apricots, persimmons, oranges, and red dates are the only ones that can survive normally. Winters here are quite cold, so only these are cold-resistant and don't die easily."
If the children were not used to eating fruits, she would never have thought of planting fruit trees. In order to prevent the children from leaving and not being able to eat the fruits they wanted, she could only find a way to plant more.
Zhou's mother didn't expect that her daughter-in-law actually grew so many kinds of fruits, and now she became interested.
"Okay, I'll watch them carefully from now on. When the weather gets cold, I'll wrap their roots to prevent them from freezing to death. You've bought so many things, are you ready to leave? When are you going to go back? I'll ask your dad to buy you a ticket in advance."
It’s easy to imagine that since my son is alone at home, my daughter-in-law will definitely not stay here for too long.
Su Qingxue was ready to leave tomorrow. Although there was nothing to do, she had been staying in Erhe Village for so many years since she traveled through time. She felt a little uncomfortable in other places. Even though this was the home of her parents-in-law, it was still not as comfortable as her own courtyard.
What's more, the children adapted very well. Aunt Liu was really good at taking care of children and cooking delicious meals. In less than a day, she had won over the children.
Children this young can be satisfied with just eating and drinking. Not only do children love to eat it, but Su Qingxue, who is even older, loves the food made by Aunt Liu.
In particular, Aunt Liu did not mind the trouble and made all kinds of cakes and dim sum, and stewed all kinds of soups. If she hadn't been thinking about Zhou's father and mother and Zhou Huaian at home, she might have been reluctant to leave.
"I want to go back tomorrow. I'm a little worried about Huai'an being alone at home. These kids have their mother to look after them, so I have nothing to worry about. So it's better for me to go back early."
When Zhou's mother heard that her daughter-in-law was so confident in taking care of the child, she was very happy and repeatedly assured her that she would take good care of the child so that the young couple would not have to worry.
Su Qingxue had nothing to worry about. After all, in addition to Aunt Liu, the nanny, there was also a security guard at home. Although most of the time he followed her father-in-law, she could ask him for help if she needed any. What's more, the children were old enough and very sensible, not too naughty, so she didn't worry at all about not being able to take care of them.
"Okay, I won't persuade you any further. Since you are planning to go back tomorrow, I will help you pack some more things to take back."
As soon as she said she wanted to take something with her, Zhou's mother immediately started rummaging through the drawers.
Su Qingxue quickly stopped her, "Mom, no need. We have everything we need at home. If we want to eat meat, we can go up the mountain to hunt. If we want to eat fish, we can go down the river to fish. If we are short of something, we can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it. There is really nothing we lack. There are several children at home, so we need to prepare more food. Let's save some for them!"
After Su Qingxue said this, Zhou's mother suddenly felt that her son and daughter-in-law seemed to eat better in the countryside. After all, even with the help of her old man, they couldn't eat meat whenever they wanted every month. At this moment, she was a little envious of her son and daughter-in-law's life in the countryside.
Su Qingxue took back the brown sugar milk powder that her mother-in-law had taken out. She had plenty of these things, and she would buy a lot every time and store them in her space, but she rarely ate them at home.
Most of them were sent to the cowshed to be eaten by the old men and women. My family had enough nutrition and were in good health, so it didn't matter whether they ate it or not. It would be better to keep it for them and eat more meat myself.
