After a heavy snowfall, the entire county town became even colder.
At home, Su Xia only wears a simple thermal underwear set, with a layer of clothes and pants underneath.
But that morning, unusually, he didn't sleep in and didn't immediately light a fire to start the stove.
After Su Xia woke up, she first tried to rouse the man behind her.
"Um.....?"
"Get up, we still have to go back to the village!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that he was awake, Su Xia began to put on her clothes, starting with a thermal undershirt, followed by a cotton-padded jacket and trousers.
Although it doesn't give you any shape, it keeps you warm.
Cotton socks, and then pants, which I bought at the supply and marketing cooperative before.
The material is indeed thick. Su Xia made herself a pair of pants. They are slightly spicy, and with the straight leg design, you can't tell that the cotton pants are bulky at all.
The top is a suit, still the old Lenin suit, but it's in line with current fashion.
However, it seems that she is fine walking indoors.
After getting dressed, she glanced at the man, who was folding the blankets.
"I'm going to see the child, you'd better get dressed!"
“I know!” Chen Jianguo replied.
Su Xia went to check on Niu Niu first. She knocked on the door, and when she heard someone calling, she knew to get up.
"Niu Niu, Mom will go call Er Bao. Get dressed and wash up first."
“Okay, Mom!” Niu Niu responded from inside the room, getting up to put on the clothes she had prepared the day before.
Su Xia went home again to see Erbao.
Sure enough, the little stinky dog on the kang was still lying sideways, one leg sticking out, its little belly rising and falling.
Go up and pinch her little nose hard.
"Hmph hmph..."
"Um......"
The baby finally opened his eyes, and because he hadn't slept enough after being woken up, he started to fuss.
"Ah... I haven't had enough sleep yet?"
"Didn't you get enough sleep? How dare you get up? Do you think you can stay here?" Su Xia didn't care and continued pinching, even threatening him.
Erbao was indeed fooled. Upon hearing that he would be left alone here, he immediately widened his eyes and pushed away the remaining hands.
"Mom, I'm getting up!"
Su Xia snorted, grabbed a pair of clothes from the side, and put them on.
The two babies, who had been tormented, had long since woken up, but were just used to being treated like rags, so they didn't make a fuss.
After Erbao got dressed, Su Xia quickly folded the blankets.
She was out with her two children when she bumped into a man.
"Take this one away, yes, wash him clean!"
Leaving the father and daughter looking at each other blankly, Su Xia went to check everything and took the things away.
I'm preparing clothes, pants, and shoes for the second baby, as well as New Year's gifts for Su's parents.
As for the rest, 5 jin of rice and 10 jin of wheat flour are all refined grains.
Brown sugar melon, peanut biscuits, and various candies.
We'll discuss the etiquette in the county town later, we'll wait until they return.
Why....
Su Xia didn't understand why they didn't send the gift in advance; people in later generations would have preferred to send it six months earlier.
Erbao was once again treated like a rag by his father and then placed on the living room sofa.
"Stay put and wait for us to pack up, then we'll leave!"
Erbao nodded in agreement.
After the family had finished getting ready, Niu Niu and Er Bao put on cotton-padded clothes that covered their bottoms.
These were all designed by Su Xia based on the style of thick cotton-padded jackets and down jackets, and she made them herself.
Chen Jianguo was still wearing his signature military overcoat, while Su Xia was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, only with down filling inside, which no one knew.
He wore a hat, gloves, and scarf, leaving only his eyes exposed.
Su Xia waved her hand and shouted, "Let's go!!"
"Yay...!" Erbao had been eagerly waiting.
The couple each had a bicycle; Chen Jianguo had Erbao in front and Niu Niu on the back.
In addition, she brought food. Su Xia was naturally relaxed, only bringing clothes for her family of several people.
Da Bao from the village got up early and insisted on taking Chen's mother with him.
"Okay, your parents won't be back for a while, no rush!"
It's true, I'm getting old, and it's snowing heavily, so my legs can't compare to Da Bao's.
Wearing a cotton-padded jacket, Da Bao followed behind Chen's mother, handing her firewood or coal.
In less than half an hour, the temperature in the house started to rise.
The large boiler and stove in the kitchen were still there, saving people from having to wait until the kang (heated brick bed) was cold when they came back.
Su Xia and her family were walking back to the village when they quickly began to regret their actions.
"Dad, this road is too difficult to walk!" Erbao, nestled in the man's arms, spoke with all his might.
Niu Niu behind me sat quietly the whole time, trying not to cause her father any trouble.
Chen Jianguo gripped the handlebars firmly, but because it had just snowed, the wind was strong. Actually, there wasn't much wind on the road, just the wind blowing, making it difficult for the bicycle to move forward.
He occasionally looked back at Su Xia, asking, "Wife, why don't you take a rest?"
Su Xia didn't say anything, but she still shook her head.
In his heart, he complained, "Wouldn't it be great to travel back to the 1980s? Traveling was so much easier then."
"Sigh... I wonder when I can buy a car?"
She longed for the little cars of later generations; if only they existed now, how convenient it would be to get home!
45 minutes later, we finally saw the entrance to the village.
"Good heavens, it's finally here!"
Su Xia felt sweaty all over, and so did Chen Jianguo. He didn't dare to stop and urged Su Xia to go first.
"Honey, go home and rest. You'll catch a chill!"
"good!"
The two quickened their pace and saw people fetching water at the village entrance, but didn't have time to greet them.
The couple searched past the two people fetching water.
Looking at the figure from behind, Old Man Yi quickly guessed who it was, and his mood unconsciously began to brighten.
Gu Zongwei, who was standing nearby, noticed that the old man's mood had suddenly improved.
Looking at the two bicycles again, he instantly guessed that this was the deal with the master.
Then she whispered, "Uncle, tomorrow is New Year's Day. Why don't we celebrate it together? It'll be a way of sharing the hardships!"
Upon hearing this, Old Man Yi rolled his eyes inwardly, but showed no outward expression.
"Don't worry about us taking advantage, there are only three of us, after all."
Gu Zongwei was taken aback, a little embarrassed, but immediately shook his head, "How could that be? My two kids are both old enough to eat you out of house and home. I'm more worried about you!"
"Oh... then let's have a good meal. We'll eat at home tonight; I don't want to go out in the middle of winter!"
"Okay, I still have a bottle of wine. Let's have a drink together later!"
Old Man Yi didn't refuse. Actually, apart from being a bit cunning, the Gu family didn't really have that many bad intentions.
They just say it's all for the sake of making a living.
At this time, Su Xia and Chen Jianguo arrived at the village's house.
When Da Bao saw his parents, he ran over and hugged Su Xia tightly around the waist.
Su Xia missed him a little. This was the first time she had gotten pregnant and given birth since she came here, and he was practically her first child.
"Big brother...big brother, I miss you so much!"
Erbao, who was put down, didn't go inside immediately. Instead, she ran to Dabao's side to express her longing.
Da Bao then peeked out from Su Xia's arms, but his hands still didn't let go.
"Erbao, I miss you so much!"
"hey-hey....!"
Su Xia looked at the two brothers and patted Da Bao's head.
"Let go of Mom first, let's go inside, it's too cold outside!"
Upon hearing this, Da Bao immediately let go, grabbed Su Xia, and excitedly gestured.
"Mother, I've lit the stove; it's very warm inside now."
"Seriously, our Da Bao is amazing!"
"Mom, is Erbao really that amazing?"
"Okay, okay, you're great, you're all good kids!"
