Qin Xiaoxiao decided to put Qin Erya's matter aside for now. Her most important thing now was to give birth to the child smoothly, and everything else had to take a back seat.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xiaoxiao stopped thinking about Qin Erya and enthusiastically started rummaging through the baby's clothes in her spatial storage.
After taking out all the baby's clothes and putting them aside, Qin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and decided to go find Grandma Qin first to see what the children in the village were wearing now, otherwise she wouldn't be able to cover up her lie if she made something too advanced for the times.
She is now surrounded by formidable enemies: a hypocrite, two transmigrators, and one who is suspected of being a transmigrator or a reincarnated person. Any one of these people could kill her. In order to avoid becoming cannon fodder, she must be careful and not make a mistake in her words or actions.
After strolling over to the Qin family home and chatting with Su Yun about parenting, Qin Xiaoxiao asked about the baby's clothes.
Grandma Qin immediately took out the clothes that Qin Ye wore when he was a child and showed them to Qin Xiaoxiao.
“These are your brother’s clothes from when he was little. I’ve kept them all carefully. Your eldest brother wore them, then your second brother wore them, then your third brother wore them, and Qin Ming wore them too. But when Qin Ming was born, your second uncle’s family got better off, and your second aunt worked at the supply and marketing cooperative, so the family didn’t lack cloth. So they were taken back after he wore them only a few times. Most of Qin Ming’s clothes were new when he was little.”
Then there's Qin Yue. She's a girl, and your second uncle and aunt adored her. They dressed her in brand-new clothes, and those little outfits were kept as they are.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the four or five small pieces of clothing in front of her with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth. To be honest, Grandma Qin had preserved them quite well. Despite being many years old and worn quite a few times, there were no tears or damage, only that they had turned a bit whitish from washing.
The clothes are all made of pure cotton, but the patterns are rather limited and not as pretty as those in her online space, and the fabric is not as good either.
After reading it, Qin Xiaoxiao had a better idea of what to do and decided to have Su Lu go to Sun Zhirou's place to see if she could find any good cotton fabric to buy and make some clothes for the child. She would keep the clothes in her space for the child to wear at night when no one was around.
We also need to prepare diapers. She can't use diapers during the day, and she doesn't have many diapers in her storage space, so we have to use them sparingly.
Thinking of diapers, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of Jiang Jiaqi. She wondered if Jiang Jiaqi had any diapers in her space and if she could find a way to get some from her.
Thinking that getting diapers from Jiang Jiaqi might be possible, Qin Xiaoxiao decided to wait until Su Lu came back in the evening to discuss it with him.
For the past few days, Qin Xiaoxiao has been eating dinner at the Qin family's place. She is currently unable to move around easily, and Su Lu doesn't want her to cook anymore. Therefore, Su Lu specially gave the Qin family twenty yuan, and the two of them have their dinners at the Qin family's place.
For those twenty yuan, Qin Feng berated Su Lu mercilessly and almost beat him out.
If it weren't for the fear of upsetting her pregnancy, Su Luzhen might have gotten beaten up.
After dinner, the young couple returned to the educated youth compound.
"There aren't many diapers in the space. Do you think it's possible to get some from Jiang Jiaqi?"
Su Lu frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "It's not impossible. I can just tell the gang leader. But do these things even exist in China now? And how can I tell the gang leader?"
Qin Xiaoxiao was also in a dilemma upon hearing this.
As far as she knew, diapers were not available in China at the time. It seemed that they only started appearing in China in the 1990s. If Su Lu were to ask the gang leader to buy diapers now, anyone with even a little historical knowledge would probably be suspicious.
I wonder if Jiang Jiaqi knows? If she does, then we really can't buy it.
Qin Xiaoxiao was a little discouraged. "Forget it, at worst we'll just have to work harder and then they won't let us use it after the hundredth day."
Seeing the worry on Qin Xiaoxiao's face, Su Lu couldn't help but ask, "How many diapers do you have? Why don't we try to buy some?"
Qin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Forget it, don't let a small thing cause a big loss and make people suspect that it's not worth the effort."
I don't have many diapers in my online storage. If I use one a day, my two children can wear them until they're about a year old. These come in different sizes, but even the largest size only lasts until they're about a year old.
If the child is too fat or too big, they can only wear it until they are about one year old. After that, they won't need it anymore. They can just get up once in the middle of the night to pee and then sleep through the night.
Su Lu nodded. "That's enough. Let's not take any risks."
Although there was some regret, Qin Xiaoxiao wasn't too sad. It was all for nothing. If there were diapers, she would use them; if not, so be it. Kids these days have never worn diapers. What are they going to do with their lives? They've grown up just fine!
It's just a little tiring, but what's the big deal!
Is she too weak to handle two little kids?
He's so spoiled!
Qin Xiaoxiao never expected that one day she would be slapped in the face, and the slap was so painful that her face was swollen.
Qin Xiaoxiao resumed her stay-at-home routine, sleeping and eating during the day, taking a nap at the Qin family home at noon, chatting with Su Yun in the afternoon, and having dinner at the Qin family home in the evening before going home with Su Lu. She was extremely happy.
She was happy, but Bai Xiruo and Jiang Jiaqi were not so happy.
First, the village repaired ditches, which exhausted all the educated youth in the educated youth compound to the point of vomiting blood. They didn't eat well either, and after another day of work, they were so tired that they didn't even want to eat dinner.
After working like this for ten days, Qin Feng saw that it was about time. He worried that if they continued, the educated youth might cause trouble, so he stopped and let them rest.
The villagers didn't stop. Qin Feng found that repairing the ditches was really good. Next spring, it would save them a lot of trouble. After the water was brought into the fields, they wouldn't have to worry about anything. They just needed to leave someone to keep an eye on the rice seedlings to prevent them from getting flooded.
So the vigorous ditch repair campaign continued. The villagers earned work points and didn't care about the cold weather. They went to work happily every day, which puzzled the new and old educated youth. Were they doing different jobs?
By the end of December, the village's efforts to slaughter pigs for the New Year and repair ditches had finally come to a temporary end.
Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao didn't get much at all; together they only got a little over a pound, which Su Lu took to the Qin family to eat.
The situation was even worse for the educated youth. The highest number of work points they received in the entire educated youth compound was less than a pound. Looking at the 8.5 ounces of pork, the educated youth in the compound were on the verge of tears.
These were the veteran educated youth; the new educated youth didn't get a share at all, which made Bai Xiruo and the others extremely envious.
They wanted to cause trouble and get a share of the spoils, but Qin Feng's disdainful glance silenced them all.
"What are you going to get if you don't have work points? The work points from these ten days of ditch repair aren't even enough to pay off the grain you owe, and you still want pork? You're dreaming!"
The new educated youth were rebuffed, and Bai Xiruo and the others were not only envious, but also gritted their teeth in anger.
Meanwhile, Bai Xiruo met her true love here, who is also the fourth male lead, Dong Hao, a young man from the capital who lives in the cowshed in the village.
Dong Hao comes from a scholarly family; all his elders were teachers. He lost both his parents at a young age and came to Qinjiacun to work with his grandfather.
The villagers rarely contacted or cared for those living in the cowsheds. When they were given grain, they received only shriveled grain, and there was absolutely no pork.
