The next day.
In the summer mornings in Shanghe Village, there are constant sounds of roosters crowing, dogs barking, and frogs croaking.
The sun's beams shone into the room, which was neither cold nor hot.
When Su Li opened her eyes, she met a pair of bright eyes. Xie Zhengchuan was looking at her with a smile on his face.
Su Li raised her arms to hold his waist, rested her head on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Why don't you take a nap?"
"Okay, I'll go to sleep for a while." He pursed his lips and kissed her.
"Then you continue to sleep. I'll get up and cook. The children will go to school soon."
"T."
After Su Li got up, she put all the clothes, shoes and socks that Xie Zhengchuan would wear for the day at the head of the bed so that he could see them as soon as he opened his eyes.
When I got to the kitchen, I scooped a bowl of rice, cooked a pot of fragrant and soft rice porridge, heated up a dozen large steamed buns made of flour, made a plate of cold cucumber, and took a portion of cold cooked beef and fried yam with fungus from the space, boiled seven eggs, and a hearty breakfast was ready.
Xie Zhengchuan and the children were still asleep, so she cleaned the yard again. For some reason, she felt particularly energetic today.
I found some oil paper and put five portions of mung bean and red date cakes and five glass bottles of yogurt in five small schoolbags. After thinking for a while, I put an apple in another schoolbag.
Children must ensure adequate nutrition.
These children are very sensible and basically don't need her to worry.
After a while, she heard voices in the east room, and hurried to her room, taking out five sets of children's clothes and new shoes and socks. Baoya's was a light yellow shirt, brown elastic pants, a pair of brown slippers, and the small socks were the same color as the shirt.
Li Dan and his friends also wore the same style of shirts in different colors, pants with elastic bands, red Jiefang shoes and socks of the same color as the shirts.
When the children all came out dressed and brushed their teeth and washed their faces, Su Li's heart sank as she watched. How could their children be so ugly?
"Oh my darlings, get up, brush your teeth, wash your face and eat."
Hu Zi asked while picking up his hair: "Mom, do you like my new clothes?"
Su Li bent down, held his little face with both hands and gave him a big kiss, "You are so handsome, son."
Hu Zi's face turned red after being kissed.
"Just talk, why are you using your hands and feet?"
"You are my son, I can kiss you whenever I want, but I am sorry for not doing this. Go wash up."
Shitou was talking to Baoya while he was talking.
"What's wrong, why is mom so happy today?"
Baoya raised her hand and said, "I know, Mom is happy because Dad is here."
Li Dan, Shitou, Tiedan, and Huzi: “Oh~~”
Su Li: “…”
The treacherous son...
After breakfast, Xie Xu came over to send the children to school.
Su Li went to Old Xie's house and told Xie Zhenghe that she would not be going to the brown sugar factory in the morning.
When I got home, Xie Zhengchuan was sitting at the door of the main room, drinking tea from an enamel pot.
Su Li gave him two cans of Pre-Rain Longjing tea from the space.
When Su Li came closer, Xie Zhengchuan stretched out his hand and pulled her and asked, "Wife, I'm sorry for your hard work during this meal. I haven't let you live a good life in the past six months. I've made you worry all day long."
Su Li looked at him and shook her head. "No, you are doing justice, which I think is very valuable. At the same time, I am not tired. I think life is pretty good now."
"Hmm~ Have you ever thought about living in the county town, or somewhere further away, but not in the village?"
Su Li was startled, and then she remembered what Sixth Master said last time, "But up there..."
Xie Zhengchuan nodded and said, "After this mission, I may be promoted, but it's still in the county. I may be promoted in the future. I know you have always wanted to do something of your own, not to be trapped in the village. Don't worry, the policy will be implemented in about a year."
"Don't worry, I have my own plans."
"Well, I came late yesterday, and I brought some things for you and the children but I didn't have time to give them to you. Come here, I'll show them to you."
Xie Zhengchuan did not let go of her hand and kept her hand in his.
I opened the cupboard, took out the big bag I brought yesterday and put it on the kang. After opening it, I took out five small boxes.
"These are children's watches for the kids, and this is a diary that can help them develop a sense of gratitude. This is a new comic book that Li Dan and the other boys like, and this is the candy that Bao Ya likes to eat, and there are a few bags of specialties from Southern Province..."
Su Li saw him taking things out continuously, but he still hadn't taken out her things after taking so many, so she pretended to be angry and hit him.
"What about mine?"
"Hehe... this is for you. I picked it specially. It took me a long time to choose it."
A red velvet box was handed to Su Li. She looked at Xie Zhengchuan's triumphant smile and said with a pout, "Bad thing."
Then she gently opened the red velvet box, and inside lay a female watch with a pearl chain, a Shanghai brand watch, with exquisite workmanship and pearls.
"It's so beautiful, bring it to me."
Su Li said this and handed the box back to Xie Zhengchuan.
Xie Zhengchuan took out his watch and grabbed her wrist.
"If you like."
The red pearl bracelet and the small silver dial wrapped around Su Li's slender wrist, making her hand look extremely beautiful.
Su Li nodded, shook her wrist and said again: "I like it."
Xie Zhengchuan looked at her with a dazed look in his eyes. From the things she gave him this time, he knew that what he could give her was very limited. Perhaps, perhaps when he had a certain status, he would be more confident in keeping her by his side forever.
Then he took out a large envelope from the package and said, "This is the bonus and some bills."
She was very satisfied that Xie Zhengchuan gave her all his salary and bonus every time. Su Li opened the envelope and saw that there was a full 4,500 yuan.
“Why are there so many?”
"We destroyed a den that had been entrenched in the southern province for many years. We seized more and found that the money in the den was like waste paper in a garbage station, scattered everywhere."
Su Li sighed.
"Oh, by the way, my eldest brother is getting married soon, and there is still half a month to go. Mom wants to hold a wedding. Sister Yumei has had a hard time these years, and Mom wants to make her happy. Give this 800 yuan to Mom. The family is building a house and holding a wedding banquet. Dad and Mom don't have much money left. You are their son, and you should give them the money you worked hard to earn. Wear this 100 yuan on yourself. Everyone in your institute has worked hard this time. You are the director, so please invite everyone to have a good meal at the state-owned restaurant."
Su Li took out a thousand yuan note from the envelope and handed it to Xie Zhengchuan.
Xie Zhengchuan raised his hand and hugged her into his arms, "You are so generous, my wife."
Su Li also enjoyed this moment of tenderness, "Well, yes, do you want it?"
Xie Zhengchuan said in a low voice, "Yes."
........
After working hard for more than two hours, Su Li fell into a deep sleep. Xie Zhengchuan kissed her forehead and lay down with her.
At noon, Su Li was cooking;
Xie Zhenzhen took the one thousand yuan in his hand. He kept one hundred for himself as Su Li said, and took the other eight hundred yuan and two bags of specialties from Southern Province to Old Xie's house.
Xie Zhengyang, Xie's father, Xie's mother, Xie Zhenghe and Xie Zhengchuan hadn't seen each other for more than a month and were very worried about him. In the morning, Baoya told them that Xie Zhengchuan had arrived and was resting at home, so they felt relieved.
Seeing this now, I can't help but ask a lot of questions.
After Xie Zhengchuan answered all the questions one by one, he gave the local specialties and 800 yuan to Xie's mother.
"Mom, I got a bonus for this mission. Xiaoli asked me to give it to you and dad. You keep it."
Xie's mother's eyes suddenly turned red. She didn't dare to take the money her son had earned through life and death.
"Zhengchuan, take it. Mom and Dad don't want it. We have been together for so long. You give filial piety money every month. This bonus is earned by your hard work, so keep it for yourself. The family has enough money. Mom still has a salary of 18 yuan a month. How much money can we two old people earn? Take it quickly."
"Hehe... Mom, you take it. If you don't want me to give it to Xiaoli, she will definitely be upset if I take it away. I will have to send it back to you."
Xie's mother knew Su Li's temper, and she meant what she said about giving. Since their son and daughter-in-law were so stubborn, the two old people could only put up with it.
Xie Zhenghe and Xie Zhengyang felt very guilty. They had been working for years, but the money they earned was very little.
When can we honor our parents properly? They both thought at the same time.
