What remained in the bundle was a pair of small red leather shoes, along with various snacks and canned goods. No wonder it was so heavy; it must have been a bit difficult for the person who carried the bundle back.
After Zhu Qing finished reading, she smiled and put all the items into her spatial storage. Then she took out several plates of melon seeds, peanuts, roasted pine nuts, fruit candies, and other treats, and waited for the village children to come to her door.
Originally, she and Si Tian thought that it had nothing to do with the villagers visiting each other to exchange New Year's greetings, but Aunt Haiying rejected this idea.
"You two have done so much for the village this year, just watch, your house will definitely be packed with visitors on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"
The two exchanged a glance, both taking what was said to heart.
So the two of them prepared a lot of things to keep the children entertained that day. Fortunately, the children listened to their advice, and their house was bustling with visitors all morning.
Even many children who hadn't originally planned to come here came back in groups after hearing from other children that they had candy here.
And it's not just children; many aunts or sisters-in-law also stop by to chat with them when they pass by.
As a result, they were both exhausted after just one morning.
Once they felt they were almost done, they quickly ran out of the house to wish the aunties in the village, with whom they had a good relationship, a Happy New Year.
It wasn't until the Lunar New Year that they realized how right it was to make so many convenient ready-made foods before the holiday.
Because sometimes I'm just too busy to take care of it.
Of course, it's not always that people are particularly busy; some just want to relax during the Lunar New Year holidays and avoid doing too many miscellaneous tasks.
We were so busy that it was already the sixth day of the first lunar month.
Nothing particularly important happened in the team, but for the Zhu family, there was something significant: Zhu Qi'an was leaving.
When he arrived, everyone knew he might only stay a few days before leaving, but when it was time for him to go, everyone was reluctant to let him go.
Especially Wen Chuyi, in the few days since Zhu Qi'an returned, her complexion has visibly improved, and her face has become rosier.
But on the eve of their parting, that rosy complexion vanished completely, replaced by endless worry and reluctance.
To allow the young couple to stay longer, no one deliberately tried to talk to Zhu Qi'an. Zhu Qinghao originally wanted to ask him about Sheng Yi, but in the end, she gave up.
Unexpectedly, after Wen Chuyi fell asleep that night, Zhu Qian came looking for her.
When he arrived, Zhu Qinghao was busy in the kitchen, preparing some dry food for him to take on the road, when she heard a knock on the door.
She was quite surprised to find Zhu Qi'an when she opened the door.
"Brother? What brings you here? You're leaving tomorrow morning, why aren't you asleep yet? Come on in, it's cold outside."
Zhu Qi'an noticed the flour on her hands at a glance.
"What are you doing so late? I thought you were asleep, but you're still busy."
Zhu Qinghao answered as she closed the door.
"Oh, aren't you leaving tomorrow? I'll make you something to take with you on your journey. If it's too cold and doesn't taste good, you can take it back to the army base."
Zhu Qi'an never expected it was for her sake, and her inner soft spot was immediately touched.
"Alright, alright, you don't have to..."
Then, seemingly realizing it wasn't appropriate, he changed his approach.
"Having such a large family to care for is already enough to keep you busy. Why do you still have to worry about me? I..."
Zhu Qing was helpless and continued kneading the dough in her hands.
"Hey bro, I'll just make you a few steamed buns. It won't take much effort. Besides, I just learned how to make these steamed buns with my friend. Try them, you'll definitely like them."
Zhu Qi'an could tell that Zhu Qing didn't like listening to what he was saying, so he stopped talking and went over to help her.
