Su Qingmeng took out the suitcase and took out the gifts she had brought for the children. There were toys, headbands, storybooks, scarves, and school bags, suitable for both boys and girls.
"You guys can discuss what you want among yourselves." Su Qingmeng bought a lot, and everyone could pick a few items. She didn't want to be complained about her gifts like last time, so this time she went to a children's products store and chose whatever she wanted. The most important thing was that there were many varieties.
"Leave some for Lin Meng and Lin Xuan." She didn't take any when she went to the hotel yesterday. She had wanted to visit her eldest brother's house this morning, but Lin Xiuyao got angry, so they went straight back to the village.
Tiezhu acted like a big brother, presiding over the distribution of gifts among the children. Su Qingmeng was annoyed by the children's chattering and said to Lin Xiuyao, "I'm going to go out for a walk. You keep an eye on Kang Kang."
Su Qingmeng walked along this road to Lin Xiuyao's old house. It was quite magnificent in the past, but now it looked so shabby against the backdrop of the red brick houses of the neighbors.
The apricot trees in the yard are still lush and green.
She continued walking forward and arrived at the educated youth site. The educated youth had all left long ago, and now a chicken farm had been opened in the yard.
Aunt Dahua's youngest son was feeding chickens. Su Qingmeng knew him. After all, she and his mother were in the same melon-eating group. When the man saw her, he shouted into the house, "Mom, Su Zhiqing is here!"
Aunt Dahua lifted the door curtain and came out. "Oh, Xiao Su Zhiqing, it's really you. When did you come back? I haven't seen you for several years."
Su Qingmeng: "I arrived at the village this morning, Aunt Dahua, long time no see, you look younger."
Aunt Dahua pulled her into the house. "You're still so talkative. As for me, my life is better now. I don't have to go to the fields every day. My health is indeed much better than before." She poured some sugar water for Su Qingmeng. "You haven't changed much, but you've dressed more and more fashionably."
Su Qingmeng wore a cropped puff-sleeved top, a pleated skirt, and a bun. Aunt Dahua said, "I've never seen clothes like this in the county. The styles in the capital are still the best."
Su Qingmeng: "Wait a little longer, this is Xiu Yao Company's new autumn product. My second sister sells clothes from his company in the county. You can buy them next month." They have all been produced and are probably being shipped, otherwise she wouldn't wear them out directly.
Shoulder pad tops are popular this year, and Su Qingmeng felt uncomfortable with them. However, she thought of puff sleeves and asked her friends, who all said they looked more natural, so Lin Xiuyao arranged for the birth.
"I also heard that Yao is now very successful and has become his own boss."
Su Qingmeng said modestly, "He's not yet! Aunt Dahua, is there any gossip in the village?"
"Of course there are. Let me tell you, Zhang San is a piece of shit. He's rich, but he still has a kid in the city. And Li Si..." Aunt Dahua was talking excitedly. "By the way, did you know that Milaidi got divorced and returned to the city?"
Su Qingmeng shook her head, and Aunt Dahua sighed, "I don't know what to say about her. I heard her parents sent a letter asking her to return to the city and get married, but she was so determined to get a divorce that she didn't even want the child. Her daughter stopped going to school at such a young age and works at home every day. Alas, the adults have sinned, and the child has suffered."
Su Qingmeng frowned, "Who did she marry when she returned to the city?"
Aunt Dahua shook her head. "I don't know. It was her boyfriend who told us. We outsiders don't know the situation. Let's not talk about her. She's mentally ill. Tell me what's new in the city?"
The two continued to chat about gossip, Su Qingmeng talking about the city, Aunt Dahua about the countryside, sharing their experiences. As they were talking, Lin Xiuyao came over, holding Kang Kang in his arms. He was worried about his wife being out alone for so long, so he brought his son all the way here to find her.
Aunt Dahua joked, "You two are still so close, aren't you? This is your child. Come, let me see. How old is he?"
Kang Kang is not shy and will accept anyone's hug when his parents are around. "Hello, grandma. My name is Kang Kang, my full name is Lin Heng, and I'm four years old."
Aunt Dahua's smile wrinkled her cheeks. "This child is really generous and good-looking. It's up to you."
After sitting for a while, Su Qingmeng said goodbye, "Aunt Dahua, I'll come and chat with you again when I have time." Aunt Dahua saw them out: "Yao boy, Su Zhiqing, take care."
"Mom, is this also your hometown? What are educated youth?" He knew this was his father's hometown, but Aunt He said that his mother and she were both from Sucheng. They had just been to Sucheng, and it took a long time to get there by train.
Su Qingmeng knew her son had a good memory, so she patiently explained, "Mom went to the countryside here. Well, after graduating from high school, there weren't enough jobs in the city, so the government sent us to the countryside to farm and grow our own food. At that time, people like Mom were called educated youth. When Mom was an educated youth here, she met your father, married him, and had you."
Kang Kang seemed to understand, but not quite. He thought his parents met in college. He knew that they went to the same university and that the sister of one of his friends married her classmate. It turned out that was not the case.
When she got home, her aunt and sister-in-law had already prepared lunch. Su Qingmeng felt embarrassed to wait for them to eat, so she went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
The eldest aunt refused: "Your clothes get dirty easily. Go sit down and wait for your meal! Don't be polite to me."
Su Qingmeng ate a lot for lunch. It had been a while since she had eaten the Northeastern big pot dishes, and she missed them. Kang Kang said, "Mom, the food is delicious." His mouth was full of oil.
Su Qingmeng took out some paper and wiped him, thinking to herself, of course you think it tastes good. My aunt uses a lot of oil, salt and seasonings, and she usually doesn't let Kang Kang eat heavy-flavored dishes.
In the evening, Lin Erlan and Lin Xiuyun, who were doing business, came back. Lin Erlan had her hair permed and was dressed fashionably. She spoke louder and more confidently. Her second brother-in-law followed her obediently, and it was obvious that her second sister was in charge.
Lin Xiuyun and his wife Wang Fen were all smiling. Wang Fen also had curly hair and was wearing clothes that looked like they were from Lin Erlan's store. It seemed that the two of them were getting along well. They were now selling goods on their own, which was a big change.
