When Lu Xiaotang came back from the cowshed, Niupitang had already fallen asleep, and Xu Ning and Xu An were waiting for him while reading.
Ever since Xu An listened to his sister, he has been reviewing his high school textbooks every night.
When he saw his brother-in-law coming back, he greeted him and prepared to go back to the house.
Lu Xiaotang took out a new military uniform from his bag and said with a smile, "This is something I picked up especially for you. Go back to your room and try it out to see if it fits. If there's anything that doesn't fit, ask your sister to alter it for you."
Xu An looked at the military uniform in his hand, which was a brand new one, and said happily: "Thank you, brother-in-law, I like it very much. I'll take it back, and you guys should go to bed early."
The two of them couldn't help laughing when they saw him holding the new clothes like a child.
Xu Ning said, "Didn't you say you wanted to write a letter to Sister Xiao Ran? I've prepared the pen and paper for you. Write quickly and we'll mail it to her tomorrow. This will also allow her to review earlier."
"Okay, I'll write it right away." After saying that, he picked up the pen on the table and finished writing in a few minutes.
Xu Ning took out a few pieces of cloth and prepared to send them to Lu Xiaoran together with the letter.
This year, Lu Xiaoran has sent clothes to Niupitang two or three times. She has two children and elders at home. If she keeps sending things to her parents' home like this, Xu Ning is afraid that people will have a problem with her.
In the past, Aunt Lu and Aunt Xu often made small clothes and sent them to her children. But since Niupitang appeared, they have been busy and have no time to take care of her.
She folded a few pieces of cloth, put them in a bag, and packed two kilograms of rock sugar and two cans of milk powder, to be sent together tomorrow.
After putting these things away, Lu Xiaotang also finished writing the letter. She picked it up and took a look. There were only a few sentences on it, asking about Lu Xiaoran's parents-in-law and the children.
I talked about the situation here again, and finally mentioned that when I have free time, I can read more of my junior and senior high school textbooks. I didn’t write even half a page of paper.
She was just about to complain when she saw that Lu Xiaotang had written another letter to Mingyu. It was about the same length as this letter and also asked about his situation. He added a sentence at the end, asking him to read more junior and senior high school textbooks.
Xu Ning looked at him and said speechlessly: "Is it finished already?"
"I've finished writing it. Haven't I said everything that needs to be said? It's hard to explain this matter in detail, but they will understand it after reading it." Lu Xiaotang explained.
"Let's rest early. We still have to take Niupipitang to the city to see Grandpa Wang and the others tomorrow."
After saying that, he opened the cabinet and took out the package he had brought back.
Xu Ning...
The two hugged each other, and Xu Ning asked breathlessly: "Where did you buy these things? How come there is such a big bag?"
"I bought them at the hospital. I wanted to buy more at one time, but they said you can only get four per month. As long as they are not broken, you can wash them and use them again next time. I don't think you would want to do that, so I went to the hospital to buy them once a month. After saving up for a year, I have this many."
"You are so shameless! You go to buy it every month. Do people in the hospital know you?" Xu Ning complained.
"What's the big deal? Isn't it normal to buy these after getting married? The two I just bought didn't seem to work very well. I'll get another pack and we'll try again."
Xu Ning pushed him away: "What difference can this make? Go to sleep quickly, we have to go into the city tomorrow."
"It's really different. I didn't buy it in a hospital, nor is it produced in a factory. It's still early, so let's try it!" As he said this, he opened the package and took out another one.
The next day, the family of five sat on the ox cart, and Xu Ning was still glaring at him.
Niupitang was very excited as it was his first time to ride in an ox cart. Grandpa Chen drove the ox cart and talked to the three children with a smile on his face.
When they arrived in the city, the two of them first went to mail the letter, then took out some food and meat from the space, and together with the malted milk and snacks that Lu Xiaotang had brought back, they went to Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang's place.
The two elders were at home. When they opened the door and saw that it was them with their three children, they were so happy that they hugged Niu Niu and Pippi and kissed them hard.
The two boys were not shy and hugged Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang's necks. Tangtang was not as thick-skinned as her two brothers and just stayed in her mother's arms and looked at them.
Lu Xiaotang took her from Xu Ning's arms. This time the little girl did not refuse and continued to look at the few people in Lu Xiaotang's arms.
Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang held the two children and invited Xu Ning and the others to come into the house and sit down.
Grandma Wang took out a small bag containing several sets of small clothes and shoes.
"This is the clothes I made for Niupitang. Xiaoning, can you take it back and try it on them to see if it fits them?"
As soon as Xu Ning saw the fabric of the clothes, she knew it was the one she had brought last time to make clothes for her parents.
"Grandma Wang, I used these cloths to make clothes for you and Grandpa Wang. Why did you make them for them?"
Grandma Wang smiled and said, "We already have clothes to wear. Besides, we are so old, why do we need new clothes? We might as well save the cloth and make two more for Niupitang."
Xu Ning knew that he couldn't persuade them, so he decided to go back and ask Xu Ma and Lu Ma to help him make one and bring it to the two elders next time.
