"How can it be dirty if it's washed by my wife? Or do you want to wash it again, with me?"
"No, no, I'm done." She stood up and was about to take the bath towel when Cheng Yue carried her out of the bathtub. Before she could say anything, she was wrapped in the bath towel. The whole process was very fast. He held her with one hand and held the bath towel with the other hand. She was as petite as a little chick in his hand.
Cheng Yue pinched her red face and said, "Go put on your clothes. I'll wash them."
She quickly ran to put on her clothes, and when she was done she found that her cheeks were still a little hot. It was so embarrassing to do this at home.
If they were just the two of them in the future, she couldn't imagine how ridiculous this man would be!
Su Qianqian did not get up early on the first day after returning. It was cold and she was a little uncomfortable. The bed at home was harder, but Zhu Tianfang did not wake them up and let them sleep until they woke up naturally.
"Mom, where is Cheng Yue?" When she got up, she found that Cheng Yue was not there. The quilt next to her had already become cold, but there was a hot water bottle at her feet, probably because she was worried that he wouldn't be able to warm her feet after getting up.
"They took our pigs away. Our pigs are growing well. Besides the pork we handed in, there must be a lot left. We will have meat to eat this year."
Su Qianqian remembered the two pigs at home. When she was at home, she would add some Lingquan to the pigs' food, and the pigs grew a lot of fat during that period.
"Mom, if we bring back pork later, I'll take some to Gangdan's family. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren don't raise pigs, so it's difficult for them to eat meat." Money alone is not enough, they also need meat tickets, so she had better send some over.
"Of course, we can. We can't finish it, so we'll send some over. Oh, and by the way, how about asking them to come over to our house on New Year's Eve? The three of them are too quiet. Also, I've already told them what you asked, and we should have collected a lot of duck down."
Su Qianqian smiled and nodded, "Mom, you've worked hard. The family is so busy, and I've asked you to do so many things."
"What are you talking about? What does this mean to me? Are you looking down on me?" Zhu Tianfang scolded, "Hurry up, have some breakfast. After you finish, I'll take you to see the pig being slaughtered."
Zhu Tianfang cooked a lot of eggs, and Tian Ya and the three little ones all had their share, but she was forced to finish two.
"Mom, I'll just eat one." Su Qianqian didn't like egg yolks very much. When Cheng Yue was not around, she was embarrassed to throw away the egg yolk. If she forced herself to eat it, she would choke.
"Eat, eat quickly, or I'll be angry with you." Zhu Tianfang said unhappily, "Mother of Erbao, I've discovered something. When you were here, the chickens and ducks loved to lay eggs, several at a time. After you left, they only laid one at a time, and occasionally only two."
Zhu Tianfang suddenly leaned in and whispered, "Second baby's mother, you are not really the reincarnation of an egg spirit, are you?"
puff!
A mouthful of corn porridge spurted out.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Zhu Tianfang wiped his face and smiled, "You are so polite. You are treating me to porridge?"
Su Qianqian was suddenly embarrassed.
"I think my aunt is a fairy who comes here specifically to help people in need!" Tian Ya suddenly said.
"Yes, my mother is a fairy, because she is smart and beautiful, she must be a fairy!" San Ya was not willing to be outdone. Humph, she was her mother's biggest fan, no one could snatch her away from her!
She touched Sanya's head and said softly, "Grandma is also a fairy, because grandma has always taken good care of you, right? No matter what happens, she will try her best to protect you, right?"
"Yes! Grandma is also a fairy! Grandma is also beautiful!" Erbao responded immediately.
"Grandma is an old fairy!" Tian Ya added.
Zhu Tianfang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and her face turned red. "What nonsense are you talking about? Hey, have you finished eating? After we finish eating, let's go out."
"I'm done."
"Let's go, then."
"Wait a minute, I bought a nice hat and scarf for Tianya, I'll go get them."
Su Qianqian ran into the house and took it out directly from the space. It saved a lot of trouble because she didn't have to search for it.
"Come, let your aunt put it on for you."
The red scarf and red woolen hat looked particularly festive. Daya and Sanya also had them. Erbao didn't want to wear a hat so he just wore a scarf and gloves.
"You look so beautiful! You three are the little fairies in our family." Zhu Tianfang touched Tian Ya's hat and looked at the smile on Tian Ya's face. She felt that she had done the right thing. If Tian Ya had continued to live in Old Feng's house, she would have been very unhappy and would have been ruined.
It was cloudy today. Although it wasn't snowing, it was melting and very cold. However, they were well equipped so it wasn't that cold.
When they arrived at the place where the pigs were being slaughtered, Cheng Yue saw Su Qianqian before she saw anyone else and immediately ran over to her, "Are you cold?"
"It's not cold! Look at me, I'm wrapped up like a dumpling." He reached out to help her adjust her scarf so that it covered her mouth and nose.
"Have we killed our pig?"
"There is one more."
He held her hand and walked forward, "Do you want to see it? Are you scared?"
"Don't look when you kill."
The three children looked at their parents' backs and sighed, "Look, our dear father has forgotten us again. He only has eyes for mother."
"We have to thank family planning, otherwise... we would have many brothers and sisters." Erbao said in a mature tone, looking like a small cadre, and Daya laughed at him, "Why do you look a bit like Chu Luo?"
"We are brothers, so of course we have to be a little bit alike." Erbao said proudly.
Cheng Yue and Su Qianqian squeezed into the crowd.
There are quite a few pigs here.
The pigs raised throughout the year are waiting to be handed over during this period.
As long as the weight required for submission is reached, the rest can be taken as meat or money. Most families exchange part of the meat for money and then keep some meat for New Year's Day.
Most people's pigs weigh only a little over 100 pounds, about 110 or 120 pounds, and some even weigh less than 100 pounds.
Cheng Youmin's pigs weighed one 150 jin and one 170 jin, which made everyone envious. They thought, "People can hardly eat enough, so how can they raise pigs so fat?"
Su Qianqian thought that if she had stayed at home all the time, the two pigs would weigh over two hundred kilograms.
However, this alone had already spread throughout the entire brigade. Everyone said that the Cheng family had good feng shui, and that not only was Cheng Yue promising, but the pigs they raised at home were also particularly big.
"How much do we have to hand in?" Su Qianqian asked.
"Dad and brother mean to hand in 240 kilograms, leaving 80 kilograms, 60 kilograms to exchange for money, and 20 kilograms to keep for food."
A pound of pork costs 60 cents, and 60 pounds is 36 yuan. I have to say that this amount of money is a bit pitiful, but their family is much better off than others in the team. Some families' pigs do not even meet the standards, and some have only a few pounds of meat left after handing them in.
"I'm going to kill you, are you still watching?"
Su Qianqian shook her head, "I'll go out first."
Someone nearby recognized Su Qianqian and said, "Oh, this is Cheng Yue's wife. I didn't recognize her for a long time. She has become so fashionable after going to the city!"
“How come you were so smart back then? You knew Cheng Yue was a promising guy, so you threw yourself at him no matter what.”
Su Qianqian deliberately smiled proudly, "Yes, I'm very smart, and now he is mine." You'll be mad to death!
