"I guess he won't come back."
"Why come back? Are you going to go back and forth to play when you're pregnant?" Zhao Dashu interrupted her. This time he was going back to the provincial capital, and the earliest he would be back would be during the Chinese New Year next year.
Next year, I will arrange for He Hulu, who is in charge of the funeral, to transport her to the provincial capital. By then, my daughter will have just given birth and will be in confinement after giving birth, so it would be better for her not to go back and forth to do the hard work.
It was almost the New Year, the child was a little older, and she had almost raised him.
The village chief thought about it and agreed. He thought that if he went back this time, he would probably not return to the village until next Chinese New Year. Xiaoyu's pregnancy was a big deal, and Dashu loved his daughter very much.
"That's right. Children are the most important. No one will run away when the village can't come back."
After dinner, they rested at the farm for one night, and didn't dare drink too much for fear of delaying their work the next day.
Before they knew it, the river gourds were almost gone, and the weather was getting colder. In the main room, Zhao Xiaoyu, wearing a thin cotton jacket, discussed with his father about returning to the provincial capital.
"Dad, we have to leave as soon as possible. If we don't leave now, it will definitely snow. Grandpa and the others are going too, so they won't be able to walk fast."
"Okay, I'll go back to the village tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow."
"Xiao, go to the village and tell them, I'll pack up the things I need and take them away.
By the way, Dad, remember to go to Uncle Shunzi's house and Grandpa's house."
"I can't forget it. I'm not stupid."
If we leave them behind, especially Yue Xu, will he still be alive?
Last time, I took away almost everything at home. This time, I only took the river gourd sauce she made recently, the kimchi she made recently, plus some dried fruits, autumn pear paste, etc., all of which were foods she made after she came back.
The rest of the city has everything.
By the way, she and her grandfather’s carriage also needed to be rearranged, with quilts and blankets placed inside, a small coffee table and a small stove all ready, as well as snacks and dry food for the journey.
It looks like the kitchen will be busy for another two days.
"The sky outside is gloomy. I'm afraid it's going to snow on the road." Zhao Dashu lifted the curtain and looked at the yard. He really didn't want to go out on this day. It was most comfortable to stay at home.
"Yes, but we have to go even if it snows. The worst that can happen is that we'll be delayed a few more days on the road. If we leave later, it will be even harder to go if the snow gets heavier."
"Yes, we can't delay any longer."
If you go back too late, your family will definitely worry.
"Dad, let's eat hotpot tonight. It'll keep us warm."
"Xiao, do you want to lie down for a while? I'll go talk to the kitchen."
Zhao Xiaoyu shook her head. Why was she still sleeping when she just woke up?
The pot was made with old hen soup, various vegetables, tofu and meat slices. It took up half the table for two people to eat. There was also a small wine pot next to Zhao Dashu.
"After this meal, the next time we eat hotpot, it will be in the capital. I wonder if it's cold over there now, or if it's snowing? Do they eat hotpot there?"
Your mother is very afraid of the cold. In the past, her hands and feet felt like ice cubes when it was cold. Now she sleeps alone and I don’t know if she can fall asleep in the cold at night.”
"You miss mom, don't you?" Zhao Xiaoyu teased. "There's a greenhouse at home, and a kang in the house. Don't worry, mom won't be cold even if you're not around."
At worst, I can always hold Lihua to sleep. Children are hot-tempered, and she is soft and tender. Isn't it more comfortable than holding Daddy?
"Laughing at me? Don't you miss Xiao Lei? Don't you want to tell him that you're pregnant with his child?
"I just miss my wife, so what? Can't I miss my own wife?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Dad, please go to the village early tomorrow morning so we can hurry back to the city."
snort!
He was breathing heavily, but he didn't stop picking up the food. "This chicken is very tender. Eat a few more pieces."
"You eat too."
