The designs for the older and younger children were even simpler, directly imitating later styles, with uniform black tops and fitted cuffs and hems.
The fabric of the clothes is military green, matching the color of the pants. The pants are also military green, and the ankles are also fitted.
A matching Lei Feng hat, gloves, and scarf; due to the tightening treatment, boots are also included.
I'm so sorry I bought so much snow cotton! Now that my two kids are wearing it, they look like children's clothing models.
Unlike Niu Niu, the two kids, once dressed, well, they ran straight out.
The old house is where Mr. and Mrs. Chen lived, along with their second and third uncles, and second and third aunts.
All the older sisters, Gou Dan....
She showed off to everyone one by one, and everyone was once again shocked by Su Xia's generosity, but even more shocked by her craftsmanship. They never expected that Su Xia could make such simple fabric look so stylish.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen were overjoyed. Su Xia hadn't forgotten them. It was just that without the two elderly people, she would have to give up her pig farming business today.
So the two old people put in extra care, giving each of them a pair of cotton shoes and a pair of overcoats and trousers, the same style as Chen's mother's Lenin suit, a blue top and black trousers.
Chen's father wore a Zhongshan suit, a gray top, and black trousers.
Feeling it was a bit too little, he took out a men's watch from his storage space and gave it to Chen's father.
After thinking for a long time, Chen's mother took out one of the pair of gold rings that the couple from the cowshed had given her.
Chen Jianguo stared wide-eyed in shock, "Xiaxia, you..."
"Su Xia, what's wrong? Isn't it enough?"
Chen Jianguo's lips twitched speechlessly. After a long while, he swallowed hard and said in a dry voice, "That's quite a lot!"
Su Xia nodded, saying worriedly, "I don't know what to give you?"
"That's enough!" Chen Jianguo said cautiously.
The sewing machine and radio we used to use were left with my parents when we went to the county town.
This is already the best in the village, not to mention the food. Even the best food here is incomparable to what we have here.
Malted milk powder, brown sugar, pastries, and biscuits—these have always been provided by my parents, but they rarely come back now because of my pregnancy.
My wife is eating well, with fine grains and meat. Anyway, I know that my parents are not tired. On the contrary, they are more energetic than before, with rosy complexions. My father is now going up the mountain and is on par with me.
He picked up the watch and ring. He recognized the ring, but not the watch. After fiddling with it for a while, he asked curiously, "Honey, when did you buy this?"
Su Xia didn't look up, casually replying, "From Tao Teng's black market!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo suddenly realized what had happened and said, "How come a watch got a scratch on it?"
Su Xia lowered her head to hide her smirk, secretly pleased with herself. "Because she's clumsy, she already made a small cut with a knife. As for feeling sorry for her, hehe—not a chance!"
This gift was given to Mr. and Mrs. Chen on the day of the 3rd visit to the old house.
Mr. Chen immediately put his grandson and granddaughter on the kang (a heated brick bed).
He snatched the watch, ignoring Chen Jianguo's sore hand, and asked in shock, "For me?"
Su Xia laughed, coaxing Xiao Bao and Xiao Niu Niu herself, while leaving the other side to the man.
Chen Jianguo grinned, "Dad's got a really strong grip." "Yes, Xiaxia—your daughter-in-law bought this for you!"
Ha ha.....
The younger generation was amazed when Chen's father laughed heartily in front of everyone for the first time.
After laughing, he gave Chen Jianguo a hard slap on the back. "I knew it wasn't you, kid! You've grown up like this, but you've never owned a single sock!"
Chen Jianguo... speechless!
The locals laughed heartily!
The second child, being quite bold, chuckled, "Socks... hahaha..."
Dad's so poor!
Chen Jianguo... I really want to beat that brat up.
But Mr. and Mrs. Chen were eyeing them covetously, ready to beat up their grandson and son as well.
Mr. Chen's money can be taken out directly, but Ms. Chen's current situation is not good. There are many children in the family, and if she goes out, the village will gossip.
So not only Su Xia, but also Chen Jianguo felt that they should talk about it later with the two old people.
Chen's mother had no idea that she was about to receive a prank gift. Upon seeing a new set of clothes and pants, she was overjoyed.
The Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun families gave Chen's father and mother 5 jin of wheat flour and 1 chicken.
This etiquette is nothing compared to that of my elder brother's family, but compared to the rest of the village, it's top-notch.
Xia Laidi and Liu Chunxia felt no jealousy or dissatisfaction whatsoever about the gifts Su Xia gave to her parents-in-law.
Because we already knew that our parents-in-law would be taken care of by our husband's older brother, we naturally weren't envious. Besides, our families' current situation is much better than before, even better.
The meal was eaten at Mr. and Mrs. Chen's house, but it was still served at two separate tables. Su Xia was sitting at the table in the inner room for the first time, thanks to Xiao Bao and Xiao Niu Niu.
The dishes were plentiful, including a large stew. Half of it was meat, which was distributed from the village. Mr. and Mrs. Chen had a total of 3 jin (1.5 catties), and Su Xia gave them another 2 jin (1 catties), so it was truly a huge pot full.
A stewed fish with glass noodles inside looks very appetizing. There's also a big pot of stewed chicken with potatoes.
Father Chen's face flushed with excitement as he announced loudly, "Today, our eldest son's family has welcomed two more little ones! They're the first pair of twins in our Chen family—a boy and a girl!"
He paused for a moment, then said, "The first toast is especially to thank our eldest son's family. He worked so hard raising the children and supporting the family, and now he has brought a pair of grandchildren to the Chen family!"
Su Xia wished she could disappear into a hole.
She was not jealous, and Chen Jianguo was so moved that he held her hand tightly. His two younger brothers-in-law were extremely grateful.
I didn't see any jealousy in the two sisters-in-law I had previously compared myself to.
Xia Laidi and Liu Chunxia—would they dare to be jealous? Before, that was the end of their village, and Su Xia was at the beginning. They wanted to compete.
Although they are now at the edge of the village, the other woman has already gone to the county town, so how can they compare?
After a lively dinner, Su Xia held Xiao Bao, Chen's mother held Xiao Niu Niu, and the rest of the house was left to Da Ya and the others to tidy up.
Back home, Su Xia put the two sleeping children on the kang (a heated brick bed) and took out the gold ring from her pocket.
He handed it directly to Chen's bewildered mother.
...
After a long while, they finally heard, "Hey, eldest brother, where did this thing come from?"
Unlike Chen's father, Chen's mother wasn't overjoyed; she was only afraid!
Su Xia was puzzled, but then she understood and explained.
Only then did Chen's mother feel relieved. She looked at her eldest son's family without a trace of heartache on her face and gently changed the diapers for the two children.
She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes forcefully. "Xiaxia, this is too precious. You keep it. Your mother is old and won't need it!"
Su Xia rolled her eyes. Although she could tell the old lady was crying, could she please stop touching the ring?
"Mom, take it. Let me tell you something: I have more than one here, so you can rest assured and accept it!"
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother blinked and asked, "What do you mean by more than one?"
After figuring it out, goosebumps rose on the soles of my feet and spread throughout my body.
He leaned closer and whispered, "You and the boss have swapped a lot?"
Su Xia nodded and whispered, "With the three of us, plus these two little ones, we'll have enough to get married in the future!"
Chen's mother was shocked, then excited, pacing back and forth excitedly. After a long while, she carefully put the ring into her pocket.
"Then I'll accept it?"
Su Xia nodded, "Mom, don't worry about accepting them. I'll collect the ears, neck, and wrist pieces for you when I have the chance..."
Chen's mother was even happier, and for the first time grinned foolishly, "Hehe--If you say that, then I won't be polite at all!"
Su Xia puffed--
However, she still cautioned, "Mother, don't take it out now, please be careful!"
Chen's mother understood perfectly; even a fool could see the smile on her face on the way back!
"Grandma, what's making you so happy?" Er Ya asked.
The man looked at Chen's mother!
Chen's mother touched the ring on her hand, then quickly waved her hand, "It's alright, go back!"
