Then the gift was given to me by that older woman.
Su Xia was sweating profusely; she genuinely couldn't understand it. It was a landscape painting, and she didn't even recognize the artist.
The older woman thought she didn't like it because she looked serious, so she added two more vases. Su Xia looked at the vases.
There was a Ming Dynasty character on the bottom, but the rest was illegible. Su Xia bought it immediately. If it were from the Ming Dynasty, it would be auctioned off.
However, it's worthless now; grain is much more practical.
Su Xia kept the cash together with her family savings. She brought all the money she had with her when she came home this time, including 10,000 yuan in her spatial storage.
The later 5000, plus the current 800+, adds up to another 1000 yuan.
Keep the money safe, and put all the collected items in a separate box and put them into your spatial storage.
Opening the package, I found Niu Niu's books: two classical Chinese texts, a math and physics textbook, a modern history book, a dictionary, pencils, and exercise books...
Su Xia only bought a few things that weren't available in the county town: pretty pencil cases, one for Niu Niu, and one each for Da Bao and Er Bao.
While Su Xia was tidying up, Chen Jianguo opened the door and came in.
"You're back?"
"Hmm, honey, when did you get back?" Chen Jianguo looked at the pile of things and knew that Su Xia had gone out.
"I've been back for a while now. Look at all this, I squeezed in to buy it. The department store was so crowded!"
Su Xia complained that Chen Jianguo first helped Su Xia wipe her feet, then poured some hot water and soaked his own feet in it.
While looking at the things his wife bought.
"Why are they all children's?"
Su Xia pouted, "I'd like to go in, but..."
Chen Jianguo....
Looks like there are a lot of people. "Wait, I'll go with you!"
"Well, nothing special, but there are more styles of pants than in the county town!"
"Then I'll buy you clothes!"
"Why don't you buy one for yourself?"
"Me? The ones you make are better than the ones you sell. Several people asked me today if they wanted to wear the ones you made!"
Su Xia was speechless, but felt a surge of pride!
"I'll take you out to eat later!"
"Okay, I've been waiting for you!"
The couple's smiles revealed an unparalleled understanding between them!
The next day, the couple got up, ate breakfast, packed the things for Daya, and headed straight to the address.
These past two days, Da Ya has been looking forward to it day and night.
My eyelid twitched this morning, which is obviously a good thing.
Overjoyed, she hurriedly called out to her husband, "Zhou Congjin, get up quickly and go buy meat and vegetables!"
Zhou Congjin was completely bewildered. Where did his gentle and affectionate wife go?
"Mother...."
Upon hearing this, Da Ya hurriedly ran back, picked up her daughter, and realized that Da Ya had become pregnant two months after her marriage, and her daughter was born a year later.
The young couple became even closer, except that the parents-in-law were not there to help take care of the child.
At first, Daya even considered not going to work if things got really bad. She had complained to her family about it, but her parents didn't have any objections. After all, her son-in-law was powerful, and her in-laws provided financial support.
However, when she chatted with her aunt, her aunt advised her not to give up and gave her some advice: find someone to take over the shift first, and then wean her and feed her formula after six months.
Beijing is the capital city after all, so its childcare centers are definitely better than those in county towns. Ask around to see if they accept babies who are still breastfeeding.
Daya didn't want to give up either. She had worked so hard to finish her studies and didn't want to give up because of this.
After discussing it with Zhou Congjin, they felt it was feasible. This girl could take a six-month break, and Zhou Congjin would find half of the people for her during that time, so she could leave without any trouble.
Da Ya receives half of her salary each month, so she doesn't lose anything. After she goes back to work, she entrusts her child to a childcare center, which does exist, though it's a bit expensive.
Even though it's expensive, Yaya is happy. Her salary is 32 yuan, plus various welfare vouchers, and the school has winter and summer vacations, so she can take her child to school every day and pick Yaya up after work...
Daya and Zhou Congjin's eldest daughter, whose formal name was given by her grandfather, Zhou Jiahui, and whose nickname is Zhou Congjin.
Daya was very satisfied and doted on her daughter.
"Mommy...Yaya's tummy is hungry!"
Upon hearing this, Daya immediately felt sorry for him. Seeing her husband dawdling, she angrily gave him a big slap, though it was on his back.
"Hurry up, Yaya's hungry!"
Zhou Congjin....
Helplessly, she sped up the pace. These past few days, having heard that her uncle and aunt were coming, her daughter-in-law had been eagerly anticipating it day and night.
Why....
Su Xia and Chen Jianguo found the gate half an hour later. Su Xia looked at the gate in front of her, feeling a little uncertain.
"Jianguo, is this the place?"
Chen Jianguo shook his head, unsure. "Comrades, who are you looking for?"
The couple heard someone talking and looked over. A shrewd man stared at them, especially when he saw the net bag in Chen Jianguo's hand, which was full of apples and oranges. His greedy expression immediately became apparent.
"Oh, big sister, we wanted to ask, is this Zhou Congjin's house?" Su Xia asked.
After being coldly greeted by Su Xia's address of "elder sister," the woman in the floral cotton-padded jacket grinned happily.
Who are you to him/her?
Upon hearing this, Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was Da Ya's family who were going to teach Chen Jianguo a lesson.
Chen Jianguo knocked on the door, and Su Xia responded, "We're his relatives!"
"Zhou Congjin's parents have always been in the military, and her aunt doesn't live here either. Where did you come from as relatives?" The great aunt never expected that she was Da Ya's relative.
Just as Su Xia was wondering how to respond, the door opened.
"Aunt..."
Da Ya's surprised and excited voice made Su Xia laugh as well.
Da Ya rushed over, pushed Chen Jianguo aside, and hugged Su Xia, starting to cry.
"Waaah... Auntie, I've missed you so much!"
"Why did you take so long to arrive? You promised to come see me soon...?"
"Waaaah... How are Grandpa and Grandma's health?"
"It's all my fault, I haven't had time to go back and see them..."
Su Xia.....
Chen Jianguo was jealous.....
The aunt was shocked...???
Zhou Congjin....."!!!!!"He's finally here!
Su Xia looked at Daya in her arms, who was crying so hard she was almost hiccuping, and could only try to comfort her.
"Alright, your uncle's finished his work, we're coming over!"
Da Ya... I won't let go!
Su Xia also felt a little reluctant, her eyes slowly reddening, but in the end, it was Zhou Congjin who made the decision.
"Da Ya, let your aunt come in first. It's too cold outside, and Ya Ya is still home alone!"
Upon hearing this, Daya woke up with a start and excitedly pulled Su Xia inside.
"Auntie, come inside first, I'm feeling dizzy."
Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief and gave Zhou Congjin a grateful look.
"Uncle, you come in too, I'll close the door!"
Chen Jianguo nodded, patted his shoulder, and followed him inside.
Auntie...
Seeing that Zhou Congjin was about to close the door, he hurriedly blocked it.
"Aunt Lianhua... what's wrong...?"
"Xiao Jin, was that your wife's relative just now?" Aunt Lianhua asked suspiciously.
Zhou Congjin nodded, "Yes, it's my wife's uncle and aunt. The uncle came to a meeting and stopped by to see Daya."
"Auntie, I'm not talking to you anymore. We have guests, I'm going inside!"
After a long while, the older woman murmured, "My goodness... I never imagined that a girl from such a small county would come from such a wealthy family!"
Stains.....
Before long, everyone in the neighborhood knew that Zhou Congjin's wife, although from a small county town, came from a very prestigious family.
There were two cans of that big apple and orange milk powder, plus the first child's package...
The eldest daughter in the family brought out a bunch of delicious food, including melons, fruits, and flowers...
The brown sugar water was for the leftovers, and the tea was for my uncle...
Su Xia... Okay, although it's sweet, it's Da Ya's thoughtfulness. Didn't you see that Chen Jianguo's teacup next to her was half full of tea leaves?
Holding Daya's daughter in her arms, Su Xia repeatedly taught her to say "Grandma..."
"grandmother...."
With two little tufts of hair on her head and her big, blinking eyes, Ya Ya learned a few phrases and clearly began to call out "Grandma..."
Su Xia...."!!!!!"
Okay, she's also at the immoral age of 40, and she's already a mother-in-law...
