"Xiaoxue, why did you come all of a sudden?"
"Where are your two grandsons?"
"Yes, why did you bring your nephew along?"
Father Shen, Mother Shen, and Brother Shen came one after another, and Sister-in-law Shen was also busy, serving tea and water, never missing a single visit.
Shen Jiaxue held her nephew and niece, and only after she had had her fill of admiring them did she bring out the things she had brought.
While excitedly introducing, "My sister-in-law went to Kyoto a while ago and brought these things back with her. My parents-in-law asked me to send half of them!"
Father Shen, Mother Shen, Brother Shen, and Sister-in-law Shen were pleasantly surprised. But after they saw what it was, Mother Shen unexpectedly slapped Xiaoxue on the back.
"You brat, such nice things, especially since they were sent by your sister-in-law, why are you bringing them home?"
After speaking, she looked at her son-in-law and saw that he wasn't angry. She breathed a sigh of relief. The three members of the Shen family standing to the side also felt embarrassed. Sister-in-law Shen wanted to, but she didn't have the right to.
At this moment, Su Nan came to the rescue, saying, "Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, and Sister-in-law, it was Father and Mother pretending!"
"It's...it's...Mom, you hurt me a lot!" Xiaoxue said, feeling wronged.
The mother was embarrassed and glared at her daughter. The mother-in-law took the bag, thinking about how the girl had brought it back from so far away.
Su Xia had a fulfilling day in the village. In two days, she made trousers for four elderly people. Actually, once the main cut was done, the sewing machine could finish it quickly.
When Mr. and Mrs. Chen received the pants again, they immediately put them on, along with their shirts, hats, gloves, and other belongings.
He instructed Su Xia, "Dinner will be a little later!"
Then the two of them left, and Su Xia followed them. Even Erbao knew that "Grandpa and Grandma must have gone to show off again."
Indeed, when Mr. and Mrs. Chen went to the village, they first visited their familiar old friends.
"Did you change into a new outfit?"
"Yes, did the eldest daughter of the Nō family go to the capital and bring it back?"
"How is it... pretty, right?"
"These hats are all made of leather!!"
"Seriously, you old Chen are really living the good life, using all sorts of nice things!"
"Tsk tsk... You're really wicked, look at you, deliberately showing off!"
"Now I understand, old man Chen, you're getting more and more tasteless as you get older..."
Mr. Chen didn't expose him, showing no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, he showcased his new equipment in every way.
Chen's mother also received a wave of envy and jealousy. After showing off, she happily went home, humming a famous tune.
After a few busy days, Su Xia began to live a simple life, taking care of the children.
With Niu Niu helping out at home, I wasn't too tired. Da Bao and Er Bao run off to play every day and automatically come back at mealtimes.
Su Xia was so bored that she almost forgot that there was an old chief behind Chen Jianguo. It was only because of the letter Da Bao brought back that she realized she was so idle that she almost forgot there was an old chief behind Chen Jianguo.
The note bore the bold, glaring words: "Rice bin empty!"
Su Xia's lips twitched. These few words were such a waste of paper and pen; they were crooked and illegible, and especially large...
The entire sheet was mostly covered in writing. Niu Niu noticed her strange expression and leaned closer to take a look.
Then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, he said, "It's all because the character '놊' is so good; it's all been difficult for Grandpa Yi!"
Su Xia....
Old Man Yi, who was drinking water, sneezed twice in a row, "Who's talking about this old man..."
After muttering to himself, he started to grumble and complain, "That brat, ever since he went back home, he hasn't even come back once. I told him last time that we were almost out of food!"
"Hmph... You don't even care about your wife and kids? When you get back, I'm going to give you a good beating!"
Achoo.....
Achoo...
Chen Jianguo, who was on his way home, suddenly sneezed twice. After a second of silence, he said, "Xiaxia must be missing me!"
Su Xia…..“I really didn’t expect this!”
Old man Yi... "I miss you!"
Children... Dad...?
After Chen Jianguo arrived in the village, he was deeply moved by the kindness shown to him. He was extremely busy during this time.
Upon reaching the nearest well, they found no one there and proceeded directly into the village.
As usual, Da Bao and Er Bao played with a group of other children in the village square.
Suddenly a child shouted, "Brother Da Bao, is that your dad?"
"Who...?" Da Bao asked curiously.
Erbao went to "Dad...Dad..."
Da Bao was stunned for a moment, then excitedly ran off. The others, seeing this, thought, "Well, let's go home!"
Chen Jianguo was also happy, stroking his two sons affectionately, and then the group of children called out, "Big Treasure, Second Treasure, we're going home...!"
"Okay, let's continue tomorrow!"
"Okay, goodbye Uncle Chen..."
"Goodbye, Uncle Chen...?"
...
Chen Jianguo...do his two sons have very high status?
Finally, three were left—these were our own children.
"Uncle..."
"Uncle..."
Chen Jianguo nodded. "Let's go home. Aren't you all cold?"
"It's cold, Uncle! Let's play football together, it'll be a little cold!" Gou Dan gestured excitedly.
Chen Jianguo nodded, realizing why his son was so popular; he hadn't noticed that Da Bao was holding a soccer ball.
After the group arrived home, Gou Dan took his younger siblings back to his own home.
As soon as Chen Jianguo led Dabao and Erbao into his yard, Erbao ran up and shouted, "Mommy...Mommy...Daddy's back!"
Chen Jianguo was very happy, thinking that Erbao missed him, but then he said, "I hate that little rascal's butt."
"Mom... are there enough dumplings? If not, make some noodles for Dad!"
Da Bao glanced at his father's frozen expression, then quietly ran home.
He needs to go back and check if there are enough dumplings; if so, he can give one to his father...
Chen Jianguo...what a good son!
During dinner, even Mr. and Mrs. Chen were quite natural about their eldest son's sudden return.
Chen Jianguo....
Seeing this, Su Xia picked up a dumpling and put it in his bowl. "Eat up, what are you thinking about?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo gave Su Xia an excited look, "My wife is the best!"
"What brings you back this time?" Chen's mother asked casually.
Chen Jianguo was speechless—"Is there nothing wrong? Can I go home?"
I did explain, though: "I asked around at a few places in the county town, and three of them want to buy pigs. I'll let Dalin know when I get back!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Chen also became happy. "The team leader was just worried; even in the dead of winter, they're gaining weight and wasting food!"
Chen Jianguo nodded, then spoke of his own pig, "Xiaxia, could you spare half of our pig?"
Su Xia was taken aback. "Who is it?"
Mr. and Mrs. Chen were also curious, so they gave a brief explanation.
This story begins yesterday, with the same stationmaster who is about to retire.
She came to find him, and at first she was shy and hesitant, but she was a beautiful young woman.
What's so interesting about an old man? I almost threw up my dinner from the night before.
"Stationmaster, if you say that again, I'll tell your aunt that you spend all your time in the office drinking tea and reading newspapers!" Chen Jianguo threatened.
Station Chief Lei immediately became serious before saying, "Is it New Year's yet? You know who my brother is. The eldest and second eldest sons are already married, only the youngest is still in the army every day..."
"I only got married this year, time is tight, and tasks are heavy, so I'm asking for your help."
Chen Jianguo wondered, "What can you do to help?"
Station Master Lei: "You're capable, but the pigs your wife raises are!"
Chen Jianguo....
Knowing the reason, Su Xia looked at Chen's parents, who immediately said, "You decide!"
Although the elderly couple helped feed the pigs, the food for the pigs was all provided by their eldest son's family.
Su Xia thought for a moment, "Okay, you can send it over then!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo knew his wife would agree, and he also mentioned the stationmaster's reward.
"The price is the same as the company's; any future invoices will be issued by our family!"
Su Xia nodded, relieved that there was still a pig in the space, and there was little frozen beef, mutton and other meats.
I don't have many meat ration coupons left, looks like I'll have to exchange some, otherwise there won't be any meat to eat next summer...
