After the chat ended, Su Xia started to eat.
First, Da Ya prepared them, then Xia Laidi, Liu Chunxia, and Chen Mu each had one, with Xia Laidi's being noticeably larger.
"Da Ya prepared this, but I don't know what's in it. You can see for yourselves when you get back!" Su Xia explained.
Xia Laidi was excited, but when she saw that Chen's mother and the third son's family had them all, she started cursing Daya in her heart again.
Chen's mother gave her a disdainful look, but she hadn't spoiled Daya for nothing.
Liu Chunxia hadn't expected her to get a share, but seeing her sister-in-law's jealous and distressed expression, she didn't refuse.
Xia Laidi....
Su Xia chuckled. She didn't say anything; Da Ya gave her the most, and she just never mentioned the things she usually sent her.
Su Xia then took out the things she had prepared and gave them to her two younger siblings.
"We'll give you half of the fabric, and the roast duck too. Da Ya bought two, and I bought two, so that's one for each of us!"
Xia Laidi and Liu Chunxia were overjoyed and took the fabric. "My God, it's so smooth!"
"Sister-in-law, isn't this too expensive?" Liu Chunxia asked, embarrassed.
Su Xia waved her hand, "Take them if you want, I have more!"
"Then we won't stand on ceremony!" Xia Laidi quickly replied.
Su Xia smiled, then took out the pastries she had bought, splitting them in half for each family, which made Xia Laidi and Liu Chunxia gasp in surprise.
His mouth remained open, and Chen's mother stood by without saying a word. Just because it's not there now doesn't mean it's not there.
The eldest son's gifts to the elderly couple are always very precious; they will definitely wait until the eldest and third sons' families are no longer around before sending them.
The pastries were split equally between the family, while Wuya and Siya received hair accessories and hair clips. Su Xia gave all the pastries to the children.
There was also a portion for Ngya, and the three girls kept smiling foolishly.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
...
Su Xia chased the girls away, and as for the boys, she simply gave them a piece of candy to get rid of them.
Dog Egg and Dog Baby didn't expect that they would also receive a gift, a large candy. Even if they cut it in half, it would still take them a long time to eat.
Xia Laidi and Liu Chunxia glanced at it and thought to themselves, "I'll confiscate them all later."
After Su Xia finished speaking, the Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun families took their respective gifts and went home to rest.
As for eating, it's not like I haven't been back for a year. I'll just eat at home.
Another place even gave us a roast duck as a gift, which was the most expensive thing they ever gave us.
Only Su Xia's own family and Mr. and Mrs. Chen remained at home. Su Xia took out all of Niu Niu's and Da Bao's belongings.
"Go see for yourselves, there's one unit here, the rest are in their homes in the county town!"
"I understand... Mom!" Da Bao cheered happily.
After Su Xia finished dealing with the children, Chen's parents took out their coats, smocks, hats, gloves, and aprons, all made of leather.
When Chen's father saw the hat, he immediately put it on, showing how much he liked it.
"My God, is all this leather?" Chen's mother exclaimed in shock.
"Mom, this stuff is rare here, but plentiful in the capital!" Chen Jianguo explained, demonstrating to his father how to wear it to keep warm.
Chen's mother nodded, saw the clothes, wanted to touch them, but was afraid of damaging them, and finally said with heartache, "It's not like we don't have clothes to wear, why buy those?"
Su Xia smiled and said, "Look at what you're saying, you can't just go out and come back with nothing, can you?"
"Besides this, what other food or drink is actually useful!"
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother realized that the food would be gone in a while, so it was better to have clothes instead.
hey-hey.....
"From the eldest daughter's family, I'll accept it!"
"That would be my honor!"
Ha ha.....
The conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made Chen Jianguo's father and the children laugh.
Su Xia keeps cigarettes, alcohol, and pastries in this house so that Mr. and Mrs. Chen can take them whenever they want.
Each family enjoys a cake, along with chocolate, cookies...
Chen's mother still liked to eat pastries, saying, "The things are all dark and grimy, it's scary to look at them!"
At first, they thought it was dung balls made by dung beetles, but Chen's mother was too embarrassed to say so because she saw that her children liked to eat them.
Su Xia shook her head; this is how all women her age are.
"Mom, are you buying a lot of this?" Bao Bao suddenly asked.
Su Xia was still puzzled, but she said anyway, "There's still some at home!"
Bao breathed a sigh of relief, "Then when I get back, could you leave a piece for Yiran?"
Su Xia....
Her lips twitched. Could she be a mother-in-law at such a young age?
Shaking his head to clear his mind of his worries, he decided that if he were to become a mother-in-law, it would be as a mother-in-law.
There aren't many things here. The old man and the third brother finished theirs, and the last one that's on their own is the old chief's.
Chen Jianguo had already placed the items in both bedrooms. After Su Xia finished, she tidied up the living room, laid out the railings, mats, and blankets, and Bao Bao and Niu Niu excitedly crawled around.
However, his eyes kept following Su Xia, and he kept looking at her, "Your Majesty..."
Su Xia always responded and came out to meet the two guys.
Get a sweet smile from her before you get busy.
Chen Jianguo was so jealous that he sat down and joined in the fun.
The baby was so scared that it shuffled around on its short legs, but the little girl wasn't afraid. Even when she was picked up, she wasn't scared at all and just laughed.
Chen Jianguo sighed – daughters are still the best.
Winter days are short, so we usually eat two meals a day here, but today, because of my baby, I had to use the wake-up service early in the morning.
It was temporarily changed to three meals a day.
I heated up a roast duck at noon, and used the remaining bones to make soup on the coal stove, adding some side dishes.
There was still some meat left from the last trip home, so I stewed a pot of cabbage, vermicelli, and potatoes—a must-have dish for winter.
The main dish was steamed buns made from fermented dough. Luckily, we had yeast; otherwise, relying on traditional methods, it would have taken us ages to make them.
During the meal, Mr. and Mrs. Chen happily drank half a glass of wine.
The children were particularly fond of the roast duck, exclaiming, "It's so delicious!"
"I wish I could eat this every day!" 괗宝 added.
Upon hearing this, Chen's father laughed heartily, "You should be grateful. This is the first time Grandpa has ever eaten this in all his years of life!"
"Really?" Ge Bao exclaimed.
Qi smiled. Actually, it was their first time eating it too. Su Xia didn't object. In this world, it was indeed her first time eating it.
Da Bao suddenly remembered something and patted his chest, "Grandpa, when I go to Beijing, I'll make sure you eat Peking duck every day!"
Mr. Chen patted his grandson's head with satisfaction. Although it was fake, he was already content with the sentiment.
Su Xia glanced at the man, and Chen Jianguo understood, but still shook his head.
Su Xia didn't say anything more, because it was indeed not good to say anything, in case the villagers heard it.
"Mother, is everything alright in the village lately?" Su Xia asked.
"It's nothing, everyone's hibernating now, staying home all the time, there's not much to do!"
"Boss, the captain asked you about this!" Chen's father suddenly remembered.
Chen Jianguo was taken aback, then remembered and calmly said, "It must be about selling pigs!"
Mr. Chen nodded, while Mrs. Chen said irritably, "Tell me, it would have been so much better to just send it to the recycling station, why did you have to go elsewhere!"
"Mom, the captain might be trying to get more tickets for the village!" Su Xia thought this was a possibility.
Chen's father also said, "Life in the village is better now than before, but we lack too many things, which is why Dalin is thinking of leaving!"
"Sigh... These days, when you're broke, you want to make money, but when you finally have it, you can't buy anything without tickets!" Chen's mother said helplessly.
Su Xia was surprised; Chen's mother's words were exactly the summary made by experts from later generations.
"Alright, eldest son, ask around after work. It'll be a good help to the village!" Father Chen didn't want the village to suffer.
Chen Jiandang nodded, "Don't worry, our pigs are always in high demand every year. I'll go back and ask!"
Mr. and Mrs. Chen did not object. After the family finished eating and chatting, they all went to rest. It was the perfect time to stay home in the dead of winter.
"The kang (heated brick bed) is still the most comfortable!" Su Xia exclaimed as she lay on the kang.
Chen Jianguo smiled, lay down together, and soon the two fell asleep.
There were two other guys nearby.
After Niu Niu, Da Bao, and Ge Bao came in and saw this scene, they quietly went out and decided to catch up on their sleep.
