Chapter 444
Chapter 444
Xiao Wei drove directly to where Xiao Shun and his family lived. Thanks to Qiu Yue'e's guidance, they did not take the wrong road.
There are three dormitory buildings in the Agricultural Bureau. They are not tall, only four stories high. Xiao Shun's home is in a corner on the second floor.
There is an empty dam in front of their family building where parking can be done.
When Qiu Yue'e arrived, she got out of the car first and directed Xiao Wei to reverse. The weather was good today. Many children were playing downstairs, and some women who lived here were sitting under the shade of two trees downstairs chatting.
When several women saw Qiu Yue'e, they also greeted her happily:
"Hey, Yue'e is back."
As soon as her voice came out, two screams came from the second floor:
"Auntie!"
Yaya and Xiaoer appeared on the balcony on the second floor and waved at Qiu Yue'e.
This caused the women under the tree to laugh and say:
"Yaya, you are so happy that your aunt is back."
The two children happily replied:
"Of course."
Then the two of them ran downstairs happily.
The next person to come out was Xiao Shun. He also saw Xiao Wei getting off the car and shouted:
"Xiao Wei."
Xiao Wei was still wearing his military uniform. He waved at Xiao Shun and said:
"I still have to move some stuff."
Xiao Shun came down. Qiu Yue'e also greeted the women:
"Sister Ding, Sister Li, Sister Guiying, you are all making new shoes."
Several women were sewing shoe soles.
"Ah, you went back to see your mother and came back. Now your brother and sister-in-law are fine."
"Well, my sister was sick, so I went back for a few days. Then my sister gave birth to a baby, so I came back again."
Xiao Shun also came down, Yaya and Xiaoer rushed down to Xiao Wei, and the two children rushed directly to Xiao Wei:
"Hello, Uncle Wei."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, okay, your Xinyue mother and the others brought you something. Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."
Xiao Wei climbed into the truck bed and took out two bags for the two children:
"New clothes and stationery for Yaya, new clothes and stationery for Xiaoer. They were all bought by your Xinyue mother. Here is another bag, which is full of snacks for you, but you are told not to eat too much."
Yaya took it, opened the bag and took a look. It was filled with White Rabbit milk candy.
Yaya was a good child. When she saw other children gathering around her, she took the initiative to take out candies, two candies for each of them, even giving some to the aunts who were sitting there sewing shoe soles.
Not many people can afford to buy White Rabbit candies in bags these days, and even in the provincial capital, not every child can eat this candy as a snack.
Especially since Liang Xinyue bought so much.
When Xiao Shun came over, Xiao Wei handed him the tied hens:
"My sister bought these chickens. There are also two baskets of eggs."
Then he took out a big bag:
"There are all kinds of brown sugar and white sugar in here. They are all for the confinement period. There are also two bags of clothes and diapers for the baby. I packed them all up. Don't ask me why there are so many. I don't know where I found so many."
As a result, three adults and two children had ten hands full, and some were carried on their backs and hung around their necks.
Even some fresh vegetables were sent to them.
The aunts downstairs were all amazed:
"What kind of relative is this? He sent so much. Those old hens are so fat. It's just right for Team Leader Min to stew them for her confinement. They are really good for her health."
"Yes, yes, you see, the snacks people buy for their children are all White Rabbit, and they come in a big bag. I think that bag weighs no less than three or four kilograms."
Everyone looked at them with envy. In this age of hunger, seeing a family having so many supplies all at once, one could only envy them.
Xiao Shun carried it upstairs by himself and placed it in the middle of the room. Min Honglian came out and looked at it and was also surprised:
"Sister-in-law brought so much for us, and she herself is still injured."
Xiao Wei laughed and said:
"That's still good. If we hadn't stopped you, I would have given you half a side of mutton so you can stew it and eat it during the confinement period."
Xiao Shun looked at Xiao Wei with some reproach and said:
"She's not in good health. If you take all of it, what will happen to the family? We don't need so much here, do we?"
Xiao Wei smiled and said:
"We still have at least this much brown and white sugar at home. My sister was injured this time, so all the people who came to see her brought these. I only brought three buckets of malted milk. My sister wanted me to bring five buckets. I thought there were many people at home, so it would be okay to eat a little sometimes."
"We bought the chickens from the people of Xinshui Village. We picked the big and fat ones. I said they all lay eggs. If you want to take them to the county town, you can raise two of them. They will lay eggs for Sister Min to eat. But I said you must kill at least two for Sister Min. You can feed the others later. If they are difficult to feed, I will kill them all."
Yaya and Xiaoer opened their bags on the bed and took out:
"New clothes, mom, dad, look at this new skirt. It's a skirt you can wear in winter."
Both children had new clothes.
Xiao Shun sighed heavily and said:
"Sister-in-law has spent a lot of money this time."
Xiao Wei smiled and said:
"That's not all. Here, there are these. These are for the comrades in the regiment and the comrades in the family compound. They heard that Sister Min gave birth. These are for you. This bag is from my sister. It contains various tickets."
Xiao Wei handed it to Xiao Shun, who only took the large envelope:
"I'll take this, but my sister-in-law can't take any more. There are so many things."
"You have no choice but to accept this. Sister said that everyone contributed when the valley was planted. This money is the dividend after the last batch of grain in the valley was sold. Every family will get it. Not just you. Even Yue'e got a share."
Xiao Wei handed it to Xiao Shun again:
"But the tickets inside are for you to use this time. She can't use them. And this bag of rice is made from the rice in our valley. It's delicious."
As Xiao Wei spoke, he finally handed over all the gifts he had brought this time.
Qiu Yue'e smiled and said:
"Brother Xiao, we have to think of a way to get rid of these four chickens. We can't just tie them up like this."
"Look, there's a bag of rice bran here. Sister said you might have to feed the chickens while killing them, so I brought some rice bran for feeding the chickens."
Xiao Shun thought for a moment:
"I saw two baffles on the side of the hallway downstairs. I took them and used them to block the space outside the small room. I put the four chickens inside. I have to clean it every day, otherwise it will stink."
Xiao Shun went to get the partition, while Qiu Yue'e asked Xiao Wei to put the things away, including malted milk, extra brown sugar and white sugar, in the inner room.
These things can only be bought with tickets.
