Chen Jianguo in the county town got up early in the morning to feed his two children breakfast and tidy up the house. He wanted his wife to come back and not see a messy house. If that happened, she would definitely be hurt.
Niu Niu and Dabao took a bite of steamed bun and a mouthful of porridge. The steamed bun was hard and choked them, so they drank the porridge like rice soup.
Also, the salted eggs made the dish taste better, even better than the steamed buns in my hand.
"Dad, what's in the lunch box today?" Dabao was already looking forward to it.
Chen Jianguo also knew that his cooking skills were no match for his wife, so he simply gave his two children food coupons, or biscuits, peach cakes, and the like.
Facing the "Why are you so stupid" eyes of the two children, Chen Jianguo cried in his heart, "Wife, why did you come back?"
"You decide for yourselves. The food coupons are here. Eat whatever you want!"
Niu Niu and Dabao sighed, it was still the same.
Dabao lost his appetite instantly. "Dad, when will mom be back?"
"It should be soon. Come back soon after distributing the food."
Niuniu calculated the date and it was only two days. She felt relieved. Although her classmates all had this kind of date, she was used to the date her mother gave her. This kind of date...
There are good things, why live a good life?
After breakfast, the three of them went out together, and Chen Jianguo locked the door.
"Niuniu and Dabao, your mother hasn't come back yet," Uncle Liu asked curiously.
Niu Niu and Dabao said hello and then greeted others.
Dabao explained, "My mother will be back soon!"
When the others heard this, some understood, while others had different thoughts in their minds.
Then he said with good intentions, "What did your mother think, abandoning you for a whole month?"
Passersby looked over and found that it was the new daughter-in-law who came into the family last year, two houses away from Su Xia's family.
Chen Jianguo frowned and was about to speak when Niuniu said loudly, "Auntie, my mother went back to help my grandparents with the autumn harvest. Of course it takes so long. If my brother and I were in school and my father had to go to work, we would go back too!"
Dabao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his sister with admiration. Chen Jianguo also smiled at his daughter with satisfaction.
After hearing this, the others admired Su Xia in their hearts and looked at 께's wife.
Suddenly the corners of her mouth twitched. It was really ugly for a good-looking young girl to show a ferocious expression to a child.
My wife didn't expect that Niuniu, a young girl, was so eloquent.
Just as he was about to retort, Chen Jianguo looked over fiercely and said, "Comrade, my family affairs seem to have nothing to do with you."
The wife's pupils shrank in fear, and she had to step back, watching her grandfather pass by her.
The others sighed and hurried away as well; they still had to go to work.
The daughter-in-law turned pale instantly, thinking that Chen Jianguo's family was giving her face and embarrassing her in public.
After the others left, he ran to the door and spat several times.
"Bah—you bastard, you'd better run away!"
Then she was ready to go home in a happy mood, but when she turned around, she saw Grandma Dou, who lived between her house and the Chen family, standing at the door, looking at her seriously.
The daughter-in-law was so frightened that she stood there. When she got married, her husband's family warned her that she must offend the old lady. At first, she didn't take it seriously. But after meeting her several times later, she realized that this old lady was really someone who could be offended.
She smiled awkwardly, "Grandma Dou, good morning!"
"Huh - it's really early. If I could see people... pooping..." As he said this, he glanced at his wife's mouth, and then looked at the ground where he had just spat.
The daughter-in-law's face turned pale with shame, and her hands were clenched tightly, but her fear of the old lady was so deep-rooted that she dared not refute her at all.
Old Madam Dou glared, slammed the door, and closed it, as if it were something dirty.
After a long time, the daughter-in-law dared to get up and go back. Thinking of the people around, she glared at the old lady at the door and dared not make any other moves.
It was almost midnight when Su Xia got home. Knowing that no one was at home, Su Xia thought that she would have to move all these things by herself, which was another headache.
Erbao was almost home at this time, and he was actually excited. He hadn't seen his sister and brother for a long time. They had been together since childhood, and to be honest, he missed them a little.
"Mom, are my sister and brother home?"
"They are in school today, so you won't be able to see them until after school tonight."
Erbao hung his head in disappointment, but when Su Xia and the others were about to reach the gate, he shouted excitedly.
"Mom, then give it back to Dad."
Then he wanted to stand up and shouted, "Dad, I'm back!"
After hearing this, Chen Jianguo also laughed, and Zhao Dazhu also saw clearly that it was Jianguo's son.
He smiled and said to Su Xia, "Su girl, it seems your Jianguo knows that you are coming back today!"
Su Xia smiled, but she was actually quite surprised.
When we got to the door, we took advantage of Uncle Zhao's parking time.
Su Xia got out of the car. At this time, Chen Jianguo had already picked up Erbao and was waiting for him.
"Dad, how did you know we were coming back today?"
Su Xia also looked over curiously. When Chen Jianguo saw Su Xia, he smiled innocently.
"I calculated that you would definitely be back today, so I came to see you."
Su Xia....
Erbao: "Dad, you are so awesome!"
Chen Jianguo laughed and put the stinky kid down, "Uncle, thank you for your hard work!"
"What's the big deal? We'll all meet in the village."
Then Chen Jianguo and his men opened the door, and the ox cart entered the yard. It was Zhao Dazhu's first time there, so of course he was curious. He looked at the furnishings in the yard, as well as the east and west wing rooms.
Surprised, he exclaimed, "Are the houses here bigger than those in your village?"
Su Xia went into the house to pour water for Uncle Zhao, while Chen Jianguo opened the warehouse and started moving things.
While chatting with your uncle.
"It's okay, but the yard isn't as big as the ones in the village!"
After hearing this, Zhao Dazhu boasted, "That's right, the only good thing about the county town is that there are no private plots."
For them, the private plots can be used to grow vegetables and grains, especially beans and sweet potatoes, which were life-saving items in previous years and can now be exchanged for money.
He has already made up his mind to plant beans and sweet potatoes on all his private plot next year, and as for edible vegetables, he will just have enough in the corners.
Out of curiosity, I played and didn't sit idle, so I started helping to move things.
When Su Xia came over with the water cup, the two had already moved most of it and handed it to Zhao Dazhu.
"Uncle, drink some water first!"
"Hey..." Zhao Dazhu took a sip and realized it was sugar water, then he swallowed it in one gulp.
Su Xia took it, poured another cup, and then went to the warehouse to watch the moving of things. This time, Su Xia came to take away half of the food, and left enough for Chen's father and mother to eat vegetables and eggs, and took the rest back.
So looking at the ox cart, it looks like a mountain.
Chen Jianguo had already learned from his uncle why his parents hadn't come, and what had happened in the village.
To be honest, he was already shocked and surprised by his wife, and he sighed once again, "My wife is such a treasure! No one in their village would have thought of it in all these years, but her casual mention of it would turn out to be a treasure!"
"Jianguo, when you go back next time, you will definitely be able to taste the vermicelli made in our village, and the flour that Su Yatou said."
Zhao Dazhu said excitedly, he looks really happy.
Chen Jianguo looked at Su Xia, who was calm beside him, and gave her an admiring look.
Su Xia rolled her eyes and said, "Even if it's her suggestion, someone will do it after the collective economy ends."
