After the meal, the two best friends were so full that they felt their stomachs had gotten bigger.
Bai Rong cleaned up the dishes and wiped the table.
"There are fruits on the table. Remember to eat them when you two take a break." Consuming an appropriate amount of fruits every day is of great benefit to the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
Bai Rong would wash the fruit every day and put it where they could reach it for the two of them to eat.
"Okay, Mom." The two best friends who were driven by Bai Rong to watch TV on the sofa turned their heads and responded.
Seeing the two children so obedient and well-behaved, Bai Rong felt relieved.
It would be great if the grandchildren in their bellies would be as obedient as they are in the future.
Shaking her head, she got rid of the inappropriate thoughts and Bai Rong couldn't help laughing.
What is she thinking about? There is still some time before the children are born. It's still a long time.
…..
The next morning, when Bai Rong returned from grocery shopping, the security guard at the door stopped her. "Ms. Zhang, wait a moment."
"Yes, is there something?" Bai Rong didn't understand why this person called her.
"Hey, look at me. I was in a hurry and didn't explain clearly. There is your family's package." The people living in the family compound are all military families. Ordinary people cannot enter without careful inspection.
Letters and parcels delivered by express delivery are basically delivered to the doorman.
Each family can then come and collect it themselves.
Normally, the Zhang family rarely receives letters. The men in the family are all in the army, so they just call when there is something.
As for my hometown, there is no one worth contacting.
Most of the packages and letters I received in the past few years were sent by the Tian family.
Now Zhang Xinxin is pregnant, and Qian Cuifen can't come over because of work.
Since people can't come over, I guess the things have been sent over.
I have to say, the truth about Bai Rong has been revealed.
In the past few years since I came to the city, apart from coming to the guard once to pick up the notices for my two children, I have been here every time to receive the express parcels sent by the Tian family.
There is no possibility of sending things to other people's homes.
"These are the two packages. Please check them. I've seen your Xinxin's name on them." After entering the security room, the man pointed to the two largest packages among the many packages placed against the wall and said.
"Well, let me take a look." Bai Rong put the basket in her hand at the door and moved closer to take a look.
Only after she realized that the recipient was indeed Zhang Xinxin did she nod. "Yeah, it really is ours."
"Thank you." She thanked him repeatedly.
"What are you thanking me for? It's my duty." The man waved his hand.
Bai Rong couldn't carry two oversized packages by herself. "Uncle, leave the things here with you for now. I'll go back and push a cart and come over to move them."
Now that you know the things are here, you have to find a way to move them away. It would be embarrassing to keep occupying someone else's space.
"Okay, no problem." The man named Da Jun said politely.
We are all from the same courtyard and have lived together for so many years. Who doesn’t know each other?
Besides, the man named Da Jun has been working as a security guard here for many years.
Before the Zhang family moved in, he was the security guard here.
The Zhang family is a nice family. Every time he comes to pick up a package, they will bring him some food.
Maybe it was to thank him for helping them look after the packages.
This is how you repay a favor.
Among so many families in the yard, only a few of them truly respect him.
For example, the Zhang family...
Others...men are not worthy of praise.
He knew very well in his heart that those people hated him but could do nothing to him.
The reason for his disgust was that, as a retired soldier, he had a righteous temperament and would never let anyone get anything done through the back door.
He is helpless because of his identity as a soldier. Even if he works as a security guard here until he dies, no one can shake his position, and no one can replace him.
He had never known before that there could be so many twists and turns between people.
Many times, he still misses the days when he was in the army.
When fighting enemies with brothers, if there are any grudges, we can just settle them with swords and it will be over.
It's not like nowadays, those women have nothing in their hair, all kinds of calculations, all kinds of kicking others when they are down...
Every day in the family compound is like a big drama. Fortunately, there is the Women's Federation and the leaders to keep it under control, otherwise it would have exploded long ago.
Alas, he is old and just wants to spend his old age in peace. Being a gatekeeper is not bad, but because of the injuries on his body, he can't do anything else.
The man sighed, shook his head, sat on the chair and looked into the distance...
…..
Bai Rong went back quickly and came back quickly.
After putting the vegetable basket away, he pushed the cart to the door.
When she got closer, she realized that Da Jun was sitting there in a daze.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Are you feeling unwell?
My husband told me that Da Jun was a retired soldier and all his family members were gone.
After retiring, I didn’t want to go back to my hometown, so I started working as a security guard here.
As people get older, they tend to feel pain and itchiness here and there. Seeing him like this, Bai Rong thought he was sick, so she asked this question.
"Oh, sister Zhang, you're here. I'm fine." The man was brought back to his senses by her voice and turned his head to look outside the door.
Bai Rong stood there pushing the cart, her brows furrowed, and there was some sadness in her eyes as she looked at him.
"Let's go, I'll help you carry the package into the car." The man didn't think too much and got up and went into the house.
Bai Rong quietly placed the pound of snacks and a bag of peanuts hanging on the handlebars on the table outside, and then followed him into the house.
The cart is not very big, but it can still hold two packages at a time.
The two men lifted the package into the car, and Bai Rong tied it up with a rope to prevent it from falling off along the way.
"Okay, thank you. I'll go first." Bai Rong waved at the man, signaling him to go back.
After that, he pushed the cart and left without looking back.
Fortunately, it was still early and there were not many people under the big tree in the family compound.
Bai Rong would nod and greet a few of them by chance.
The two pregnant women at home haven't gotten up yet. As they get older, they sleep less and go to bed late at night. They can't fall asleep early in the morning, so they get up early.
There is a vegetable market next to the family compound.
There is a morning market around 6:30 in the morning, and many elderly people go there to attend the morning market.
Bai Rong is no exception.
There are many villagers from nearby villages at the morning market, bringing some agricultural products to sell here.
There are all kinds of wild crucian carp caught in the river, wild fruits from the mountains, and wild vegetables from the fields.
Now that the policy has been relaxed, no one cares about individual transactions.
There is a special management department in the morning market. As long as you pay a certain fee, you can do business there for a long time.
The two children had been clamoring to eat wild vegetable dumplings, but unfortunately, there were only bustling cities nearby, so where could they find wild vegetables?
If you want to pick wild vegetables, you either go to the countryside or to the mountains.
It was too dangerous for her, a woman, to go up the mountain alone.
