After the child came back from brushing his teeth, she took him to bed and coaxed him to sleep, as if she didn't understand the man's hint just now. She had been tossing around all night last night and was teased by Mrs. Gao. She didn't want to be tossed around and wake up late again tonight.
When Shuying was coaxing the child, the man looked at her patiently, his eyes were burning and focused, and he didn't look away. He couldn't look enough.
Shuying noticed the man's burning gaze and her heart skipped a beat. She waited until the child fell asleep, then she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Chen Xi could still tell whether she was really asleep or pretending to be asleep. He saw her eyelashes trembling slightly and her thin lips curled up. He got out of bed, picked her up and walked to the next room.
Shuying was startled by being picked up suddenly. She instinctively put her arms around the man's neck. Facing the man's smiling eyes, the man said in a deep voice, "Hold tight!"
The couple went next door, and that night, Shuying had another difficult night. The next day, as expected, she woke up late again.
She was the only one at home. After washing up and eating the breakfast that her husband got from the canteen, she sat down at the table in the living room, feeling a sore back and waist and shaking legs.
Thinking back to last night, she just felt that the man wanted to use all his strength on her and make her suffer all night long.
She had wanted to go to the market this morning, but her legs were shaking so much that she couldn't ride a bike, so she had to give up.
"Auntie! Uncle is driving the truck!" Shuying heard the sound of the child running away and looked over. Chen Yi was running towards her with an excited face flushed.
Shuying hurriedly asked him to run slower.
"Uncle is driving the car, aunt, let's get in the car! Uncle is going to take us to the county town!" Chen Yi was very happy. He ran into the main room and took her hand to go out.
What? Go to the county seat?
The man then entered the yard and also talked about going to the county town.
"What are you going to the county town for?" asked Shuying.
When the man talked about sending the package and taking photos, Shuying suddenly understood.
She had to pack her bags to go to the county town, so Shuying asked her man to wait for her for a while.
"No rush!" said Chen Xi.
Chen Yi was so excited that he was going to take a bus to the county town. He waited for his aunt to go into the house to change clothes, and then went to the Gao family next door to show off.
Before leaving, the young man was afraid that his uncle would forget him, so he told him several times in a baby voice: "Uncle, I'm at Xiaoyuan's house, I can hear you if you call me! I want to go to the county town with you too!"
Only after getting his uncle's consent did Chen Yi run to Gao's house.
Shuying went into the room and took a mirror to look at her neck. Seeing that there was no mark on her neck, she packed up her package.
I took out all the knitted sweaters and trousers for my parents-in-law, and sent each of my nephews and nieces a new piece of cotton clothing and trousers.
The new clothes were made of cotton fabric from her spare time, and were free of charge. She had thought of her nephews and nieces who had nothing good to wear all year round, and the clothes of the children in the village were patched up for years without being replaced.
She went to the counter and got a few cans of maltose, two for her home and two for her parents-in-law. There was nothing else to give away at home, so she couldn't give more even if she wanted to.
Chen Xi leaned against the door and watched his wife packing, reminding her to send more food coupons and industrial coupons.
The soap tickets and the tin kettle tickets were given to her family.
Shuying opened the wooden box, and inside the box was an iron box filled with various tickets given to her by her man.
She selected a number of tickets for her family to use.
Wrap two packages well, not heavy.
Chen Xi proposed to go.
When the couple went out, they saw the three Gao brothers and their children surrounding the cart, with several of the children chattering excitedly.
"Uncle Chen! Is that the car you're driving?" Gao Zhi asked with his eyes wide open.
After hearing Chen Xi's response, Gao Xiang and Gao Yuan said anxiously, "Our mother took us on a ride in a big car once before! It was so comfortable!"
Chen Yi was also eager to say that he had also ridden in the big car several times, which made the three Gao brothers very jealous and he was very proud.
"Auntie Yang, are you going to the county town? I want to go too!" Gao Yuan said while sniffing his nose.
She could still take the child to the market, but the county town was too far away, so she really didn't dare to take the child there. Fortunately, Gao Zhigao was sensible to the two brothers and quickly took Xiaoyuan back to his own yard.
The couple then took Chen Yi into the car and went to the county town.
Chen Xi was driving, and Shu Ying was sitting in the passenger seat holding the child.
It was a rare opportunity for the children to go out of the military area. After leaving the military area, Chen Yi was very excited. He couldn't sit still and kept moving his butt. While looking outside, he asked: "Auntie, are we going to the county town? Is the county town fun?"
Shuying gently pinched the boy's cheek and thought, this child is so excited now. It will take a long time to get to the county town. Let's see if this child can still be so excited?
The military area is very far from the county town and it takes half a day to drive there.
Chen Yi looked excited for the first hour and a half, but after a few hours, the child looked depressed and buried in the shadow of the tree.
Chen Xi glanced at the boy and didn't pay much attention to him. Shu Ying was worried that the child was not feeling well, so he coaxed him to sleep first.
By the time the family of three arrived at the county town, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Shuying was still thinking about sending a package and wanted to go to the post office, so Chen Xi took her to the county supply and marketing cooperative first and asked her to buy more food to send to her nephews from her mother's side, and also buy some supplements for her parents.
He likes all his nephews and nieces in his wife's family very much, especially his two nieces. Chen Xi subconsciously looked at his wife's belly, hoping that his wife would also give him a daughter-in-law.
Forget about buying supplements for her parents. Her mother is very thrifty, and sending a lot of stuff to her parents would scare them. They might even think that she is using her husband's money to support her family.
It’s better to take your time and send it next time.
She asked her husband what supplements to buy for her parents-in-law. Chen Xi said that there were plenty of supplements at home and there was no need to buy any. So she just bought a few bags of White Rabbit milk candy, weighed two bags of walnut cakes and some glutinous rice sticks.
After buying the things, she was afraid that the child would be hungry, so she gave the child a piece of walnut cake to eat while walking, and the family of three went to the photo studio to take pictures.
There are very few photo studios nowadays, so I found one and went in.
Chen Yi had just arrived in the county town and was still excited. When she heard that she was going to take a photo with her uncle and aunt, Chen Yi, who knew what a photo was, became particularly excited.
The teacher who took the photo was quite old, probably in his fifties. When he saw Chen Xi in his military uniform and his good looks, he was very impressed.
Looking at the lesbians and children beside him, they are all good-looking, with nice eyes and nice noses. The lesbians have eyebrows and eyes like painted skin, and their skin is white and beautiful, and the children also have handsome facial features.
The old teacher was amazed. It was the first time he saw a family of three that looked so good.
The old teacher took pictures of them seriously.
Chen Xi held the child in one hand and let him sit on his lap, and with the other hand he held his wife's slender waist, and the family of three took a photo.
A family photo of three was taken. Chen Xi asked his wife to take a photo with the child, he took a photo with his wife, and the child also took a photo alone.
Shuying developed a few more photos, and it turned out that the total cost of taking and developing the photos was more than ten yuan.
Since it was a rare opportunity to take a photo, she didn't feel any pain.
After taking the photos, they went to the post office to mail a package. Shuying stuffed a photo of the family of three into both envelopes, and also stuffed a single photo of the child into the envelope for her parents-in-law.
