Father Tang picked up Xiaowu and Xiaoliu with a smile, making faces and imitating the cuckoo's call, making the two children laugh.
The two babies in the room may have felt the lively atmosphere at home and started crying loudly.
Tang's father pushed him and his bed into the living room.
Two equally chubby figures came into view.
It was the first time for Xiaowu and Xiaoliu to play with such young children, and they were very excited.
The younger brother kept calling his younger sister "big brother, small sister".
"Godmother, my brother is smiling."
"That's right, sister."
The two of them would poke their faces with their little hands, and then grab their hands and kiss them non-stop.
"Meilan, what's the child's name?"
The two children are easy to recognize. The one wrapped in the gray quilt is a boy, and the one wrapped in the red quilt is a girl.
"The older brother's name is Zijun, the younger sister's name is Zimei, and what are the names of the fifth and sixth children?"
Now it was Su Qing's turn to be confused. Could she say that she forgot to give the child a full name?
"Their father hasn't made up his mind yet." At the critical moment, the scapegoat - Cheng Fangyi came online.
Cheng Fangyi immediately cast a resentful look at him.
Su Qing made a face in return, left Tang's father and Cheng Fangyi to look after the children, and followed Tang's mother Tang Meilan to the kitchen.
The three of them began to chat about family matters.
"Xiaoqing, how's the situation in Shuixiang Village? Is it also very dry? Do you have enough food to eat? I sent you some food last time, but the postman told me it was lost. I think someone must have intercepted it.
I was thinking of going to the water village these two days, and then you guys came."
Tang Meilan chattered about her recent situation.
The crackling light of the fire was imprinted on Tang Meilan's face, revealing the appearance of a young girl.
It seems that a good marriage can really allow a woman to remain innocent and carefree.
"It rained once in the middle of the year, but it wasn't bad. At least we still have water to drink. I came here to ask you about your food. My husband knows someone who can get some food. If you want to buy it, I can ask him to set it aside for you.
Food is in short supply now, so you should just keep it for yourselves and don't send it to us. If the day ever comes when we run out of food, I will definitely have the nerve to ask you for help."
The Tang family members all have good personalities and are worthy of close friendship, so Su Qing is willing to help them.
Tang's mother closed the kitchen door in a panic.
"Shh, keep your voice down. Food is a big deal. It would be bad if someone has ears on the other side of the wall."
"It's okay, Auntie. We weren't talking loudly, so no one outside could hear us clearly."
Tang's mother was still very vigilant.
"Xiaoqing, can you... can your man really get food?"
"able."
"Then...how much can you leave for us at most?" Tang Meilan looked at Su Qing a little embarrassedly.
She knew that her request was a bit unreasonable.
But Tang Ci was not at home, and there were many old and young people in the family, so there were not many opportunities to get food.
If possible, she still hopes to stock up some at one time.
"I can't guarantee more, but we do have 100 kilograms of fine grains and 400 kilograms of coarse grains."
The fire tongs in Tang Meilan's hand fell to the ground with a clang.
"Isn't that enough? My goodness, with so much food, we could fly to the sky."
Now, if you can buy more than ten kilograms of food on the black market, you can walk around freely.
If she could really get so much, plus some internal food she got from the supply and marketing cooperative, it would be enough to last for a long time.
"If there's any progress on this matter, I'll let you know. I'll be staying in the provincial capital during this time."
"OK."
The three people in the kitchen were very excited, and the living room was also very lively.
Father Tang looked at the children and smiled lovingly.
"Xiao Cheng, you are so lucky. You have two big fat boys. I heard that you also have four daughters. It's great to have both sons and daughters."
"Uncle is so lucky, with children and grandchildren surrounding him." Thinking that his own family was not bad either, Tang's father grinned foolishly.
"It's a pity that Tang Ci is not at home. It's a great honor to see him once a year."
"Brother Tang is a soldier defending his country, so it's inevitable that he has to do many things he has no choice but to do."
"Well... I'm quite content with my current life."
Father Tang looked at the two little ones in the crib and smiled with relief.
…
"What are you two talking about? It's time to set up the table and eat." Tang's mother came out with a big bowl of braised pork.
When Xiaowu and Xiaoliu heard that it was time for dinner, they ran to wash their hands happily.
The table was gradually filled with food.
"Come, Xiao Cheng, have a drink with uncle."
As Mr. Tang looked at the sizzling braised pork, his thirst for alcohol was aroused.
"Drinking again, you are not allowed to hold the child after drinking."
Tang's mother said she was disgusted, but she still took out the wine and the cup honestly.
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were already sitting in their seats, holding their bowls and eating with big mouthfuls.
No one can resist that cute look.
The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.
After Su Qing and Tang Meilan settled the bill, they prepared to return to the guesthouse.
"I'll think of a way to see if I can find a new sales channel." In the past year of drought, in addition to the large fluctuations in grain prices, the business of Tang Meilan and Su Qing's cooperation has also been greatly affected.
When eating is a problem, who would bother to dress up?
"It's okay. Natural disasters are unavoidable, so poor sales are inevitable. You and your aunt should take care of your health first, and then slowly deal with business matters."
Tang Meilan looked much thinner than before.
"I know, I know. Come to my house for dinner tonight."
"No, we'll just go outside and grab a few bites."
