"Pah...you vixen, you stinking vixen..."
Bang.....
"Who are you calling a vixen?"
"I'm insulting you!"
After saying this unconsciously, Sister Qiao realized what had happened. Then, ignoring Su Xia, she hurriedly ran away, afraid that someone would catch up with her and beat her up.
Seeing that the person ran away quickly, Su Xia didn't want to pursue the matter any further, so she closed and locked the door.
"Wife, when did you get back?"
As soon as she entered the living room, she was hugged tightly. Su Xia felt a chill run down her spine, but being hugged by Chen Jianguo, who was like a furnace, was quite comfortable, so she didn't rush to push him away.
"You're back now, what's wrong? Seems like you don't want to come back?" Su Xia raised an eyebrow.
"How could I? I've missed you so much! It's good the baby isn't here, so we can finally have some alone time..."
"Go stand over there, we're starving, and you're still talking about a romantic getaway?"
After being pushed away, Chen Jianguo clung to her even more, asking, "Wife, can we finish our meal first?"
"no....."
Why?
"You stink!" Su Xia glared at him with disgust.
Chen Jianguo... saw Su Xia wrinkle her nose and sniff her armpit...
evil.....
It really smells bad; no wonder my wife complains. Looks like I have to take a shower today.
He followed her into the kitchen, calling out, "Honey, have you boiled the water? I need to take a bath tonight!"
Su Xia looked at the other large pot, "Burn it!"
During the meal, Su Xia mentioned that Chen's mother had given money to buy New Year's goods.
Chen Jianguo chuckled, "Looks like Mom has a lot of money in her pocket!"
"It should be. When Siya got married, she received 30 yuan, and so did Daya, Erya, and Sanya. I just don't know how much it was for her grandson?"
“Then it should be more than what Da Ya and the others have!” Chen Jianguo didn’t even need to think about it; he was certain of it.
Su Xia sighed inwardly, "Even later generations can't achieve equality!"
Since Chen Jianguo returned from military service, he's always been a child... a child...
This is the first time the couple has spent the night alone at home, except for the time they went to Beijing on a business trip.
Su Xia was breathing heavily, and beads of sweat began to appear on her fair face, which was covered in winter sweat.
Chen Jianguo, who was beside him, did the same. The two lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), and Chen Jianguo thoughtfully covered them with a quilt so they wouldn't catch a cold.
How much longer until your holiday?
"There are still 5 left, this time we'll release 10!"
Su Xia nodded, "Ming, go buy things first, then you can go to work!"
"Okay, if you need anything else, just take it back with you later!"
"It's nothing, just bring some flour with you when you go home!"
"Great, this is perfect, we still have food coupons here!"
"Um....."
Soon Su Xia started to doze off and quickly fell asleep. Chen Jianguo got up, tidied up a bit, helped her put on her pajamas, and then lay down to sleep as well.
When Su Xia woke up the next day, there was no one beside her, but the kang (heated brick bed) hadn't cooled down, so it seemed that Chen Jianguo had gotten up early to heat it up.
When Su Xia went to the kitchen, she saw a man serving porridge.
When Chen Jianguo saw Su Xia, he leaned over and asked, "Awake?"
"Um...."
Go wash your face and brush your teeth!
Su Xia nodded, quite enjoying this time alone with her. Sigh...
It's not that they have too many children. Once Niu Niu and Da Bao grow up, they can really enjoy their time as a couple.
Breakfast was simple: millet porridge, pickled vegetables, four steamed buns, and two boiled eggs.
After Su Xia came over, Chen Jianguo placed the peeled eggs in front of her.
Su Xia took one out, "One is enough!"
Chen Jianguo didn't try to persuade her further. "Wife, are these eggs from the same guy as last time...?"
Su Xia....
She glared at the man, deliberately bringing up a sore spot, "I sold him our bicycle ticket!"
"It would be even better if it sold, the ticket is about to expire anyway!" Chen Jianguo said indifferently.
Su Xia knew, of course. She had originally intended to save it for Niu Niu, but now...
"Let's go to the department store today and see if they have any women's bicycles!"
"You want to buy one for Niu Niu?"
"Yeah, our little one can ride it, but we'll definitely have to buy another one when Niu Niu starts working!" Su Xia didn't care about any talk of "hiding her talents!"
It's not worth making the process miserable for the sake of some unknown danger. You'd be better off using that time to better prepare yourself.
Chen Jianguo agreed, saying that his eldest daughter was thin and frail, and he didn't want her to get tired from walking...
Niu Niu from the village suddenly sneezed twice, and Liu Ya, the little girl next to her, quickly came over.
"Sis... what's wrong?"
"Yes, don't catch a cold!" Liu Ya asked worriedly.
Niu Niu touched her nose; it wasn't itchy. It seemed she had just sneezed suddenly.
To his two younger sisters, he said, "It's alright, you two go play!"
Liu Ya Niu Niu watched for a while, and seeing that everything was really alright, she went to play with peace of mind.
In the county town, Su Xia and Chen Jianguo had already set off for the department store. After arriving at the department store, Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
"Arriving early has its advantages!"
"Xiaxia, go check on the bicycles first!"
Su Xia followed behind Chen Jianguo. When they reached the third floor, there were even fewer people.
First, go to the bicycle area, and you'll immediately spot two bicycles, both of them the old-fashioned 28-inch models.
"Comrade, what do you need?" The sales clerk came over.
Su Xia pointed to the bicycles. "Aren't there any women's bicycles here?"
The saleswoman's eyes lit up, and she immediately became enthusiastic, "Sir, it's like this, ladies' bicycles need to be ordered in advance, and then they'll be delivered from the city!"
Su Xia and Chen Jianguo exchanged a glance. It seemed that there were few women who needed the product, so they were making pre-orders and ordering more stock.
"Thank you, comrade!"
"You're welcome!" The sales clerk saw that there was no pre-order, and although she was disappointed, she still politely gave it to the customer.
"Let's buy it for Niu Niu after she starts working!" Chen Jianguo felt it was too early to buy it now.
Su Xia nodded, and then the couple started their shopping spree, buying everything they thought they needed. In the end, they bought ten bottles of soda before finally finishing.
Su Xia glanced at the man, "These ten bottles of yours will definitely keep you from celebrating the New Year!"
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll buy it when I get back!"
Su Xia rolled her eyes. So you're the only good father you have!
"Honey, do you still have any left to buy?"
Su Xia thought for a moment, "That's all. You can take the rest back with you. Oh, and I'll send the cured meat from home to the old man later!"
Chen Jianguo nodded, pleased with himself, his face beaming with smiles.
After arriving home, Chen Jianguo put down his things and went to work, while Su Xia began to tidy up, putting away everything that had been left in the county town.
Most of the remaining eggs were packed into a basket. There were also 30 eggs; 5 were given to Chen Jianguo, and 6 were left over. Su Xia took brown sugar and pastries...
After arriving at the old lady's house and putting my things down, I exclaimed, "This means I'm back in the village!"
"Okay, I'll go back in a bit. Jianguo will go back when he has his holiday!"
Grandma Dou nodded, her body hunched over, and came out of the bedroom again.
She was holding a small package. "This is for the children!"
Su Xia accepted the invitation, but couldn't sense anything amiss, yet she didn't refuse.
"Okay, I'll be going now!"
"Let's go!" He waved, not even bothering to see them off.
Su Xia sighed, wondering if the old lady truly had no family, or simply didn't keep in touch.
I was fine before, but now that I'm getting older, my health is getting worse...
Shaking his head to clear his mind, he knew there must be family members involved; otherwise, where would the old lady have gotten all those things?
Grandma Dou was unaware of Su Xia's thoughts. At this moment, she opened the letter again and slowly fell into deep thought!
