Sun Fugui finished his work earlier than Xia Qingmai. Seeing that Xia Qingmai was still busy, he counted the gifts he received today.
Xia Qingmai had just finished his work here when he handed over the money and the order.
"I put a five-pointed star next to those who need to return gifts in the future, and the rest do not need to be returned."
After saying that, Sun Fugui took out two more passbooks and a dozen money checks and handed them to Xia Qingmai, "One of these two passbooks is my salary over the years, and the other is my meritorious service and retirement allowance in previous years."
Xia Qingmai calmly took the things from Sun Fugui's hand, opened it and glanced at the amount on the passbook, then looked up at him and asked: "You have so much money in your hand, don't your family know?"
“Knew I had money, but didn’t know how much I had.”
Sun Fugui joined the army at the age of eighteen and stayed in the army for eight years. Except for the small allowance in the first two or three years, he later made more meritorious deeds and rose in rank, so he really saved a lot of money.
But he has been able to pay for it since he was a child. It is also because Yao Daya can pay for it and does not ask him for a salary. He only allows him to pay pension money on time every year after he starts to make money.
Therefore, Sun Fugui has basically saved all his money over the years.
Xia Qingmai, who was satisfied with his family's current savings, thought about the good things in his Ruian Palace, looked at Sun Fugui and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this family."
Sun Fugui liked Xia Qingmai's directness. He gave her all his savings to make her the boss.
Even if she doesn't know how to do it for the time being, it doesn't matter if she spends money indiscriminately, since he can still make money now anyway.
It is luck to marry a daughter-in-law who is born to be a good housekeeper, but don’t worry if your daughter-in-law is not good at it at first. As long as they work together, they will be able to run their little family well.
The couple had just sweetly agreed to receive their certificates tomorrow and save part of the gift money they received today. Before they discussed what they needed to buy at home, there was a humming sound coming from the bed.
Looking at the little boy who had not yet opened his eyes but had already subconsciously sat up to help his sister, Xia Qingmai hurriedly walked over and said, "Mom takes my sister to go to the toilet. Can you let dad hold her outside to pee?"
Xia Qingmai's voice made Shu Yan wake up instantly. He opened his eyes wide and smiled shyly after seeing clearly that the people in front of him were indeed his parents.
"I'll go by myself." As he spoke, he crawled to the bed.
"Okay, Shu Yan will go by himself, but dad will follow." Xia Qingmai glanced at Sun Fugui, then directly picked up Shu Yan, and then dragged out the spittoon for urine under the bed.
When Sun Fugui walked out of the room with Shuyan in his arms, Xia Qingmai also took off Shuyu's pants.
Looking at Shuyu with her eyes closed the whole time, not knowing who was holding her, Xia Qingmai just thought she was so cute.
The one-year-old girl is fragrant and soft. I hold her in my arms and feel it carefully. She probably weighs less than twenty pounds.
"Do you still want to sleep in Shuyu?"
Shuyu nodded first, then she slowly opened her eyes, looked at them and then closed them. After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes and smiled at Xia Qingmai, "Mom!"
The little girl's voice may have been soaked in sugar water, otherwise it wouldn't be so sweet.
Xia Qingmai couldn't hold back and finally kissed her on the little face.
The kiss from her mother made the little girl a little shy, but after a brief hesitation, she still hugged her mother's neck and kissed her back.
Then, the little girl who just nodded and wanted to go back to sleep just lay in her mother's arms, hugging her neck.
Xia Qingmai was not in a hurry to let her go down. He raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist. Seeing that it was already past three o'clock and almost four o'clock, he stopped coaxing her to sleep.
Not long after, Sun Fugui also came back holding the book and inkstone.
"Shuyu doesn't sleep anymore?"
Xia Qingmai nodded and replied: "Well, it's getting late, so I won't feel sleepy until the next night." After saying that, Xia Qingmai paused and continued: "It's a little early to make dinner now, why don't you get it?" Are you following our mother-in-law around the transport team?"
Naturally, Sun Fugui would not object to Xia Qingmai's request.
Their transportation team place is quite big, there are two in the residential area alone. In addition to their five rooms, there are tile-roofed houses built along the courtyard wall, and a three-story building.
"Because I was retired as a platoon leader and can repair cars, I was assigned a tile-roofed house that only leaders can receive."
"Their building is not big, so there is no place to grow vegetables."
Speaking of this, Sun Fugui was obviously very proud.
He seems to have no position now, but his salary level is not low, and the house he is assigned is also a private courtyard where only leaders can live.
In fact, he could have been assigned to a job at the office director level, but in the end he chose the transportation team after much consideration.
There were many reasons, but now seeing Xia Qingmai being satisfied with his house, Sun Fugui felt that his choice was right.
He had visited the building of the transportation team. There were twenty-four households living on the upper and lower floors. They shared a bathroom and a large kitchen on the first floor, and it was packed to the rafters.
This is better than theirs.
Xia Qingmai also thinks their small yard is good. The vegetable plot is not big but they can grow a lot of things.
The most important thing is that if you live in a building, your neighbors will know if something happens.
The transportation team is a rectangular place as a whole, with vehicles parked in most places, and the warehouses and maintenance rooms closest to the vehicles.
Offices and rest rooms, canteens, and public toilets are all found in the transportation team.
Nearby are the Public Security Bureau, the county government, a state-owned hotel, a cinema, a two-story supply and marketing building, and a nursery established by several units.
Further outside, there are primary schools, middle schools, hospitals and other units.
It can be said that this area is the most lively and prosperous area in Yu'an County, and it is also the area where girls in the county most want to marry.
This is why Sun Fugui is getting married for the second time, and the neighbors only say that the Xia family is partial but don't think Xia Qingmai's marriage is bad.
Xia Qingmai, a girl who originally had no sense of existence, was lucky to be married to the transportation team.
This is the evaluation given by most people who know Xia Qingmai about this marriage.
Looking at the backs of the couple walking home each with a child in their arms, knowing that Sun Fugui had just gotten married and that these two children were not Xia Qingmai's colleagues and family members of the transport team, she still felt like they had been a family for a long time. .
Under the setting sun, the shadows of their family are long.
August, when the golden osmanthus is fragrant, is another harvest season.
…
Because she had never experienced it before, Xia Qingmai had always looked forward to the wedding night.
But when she actually experienced it, she realized that the pain was real, but not that painful.
After a brief period of pain, there is an increasingly clear enjoyment.
But she is tired.
Maybe it was because Sun Fugui quickly started the third time after being dissatisfied with his performance in the first two times.
Thinking that he had experience, Xia Qingmai entrusted herself to him with great trust.
At that time, she never imagined that the next one would take so long.
Tired and sleepy, Xia Qingmai didn't know what time it ended. She only knew that she heard the faint humming of two children in the morning.
But she was too tired, so she opened her eyes just a slit, and after making sure that it was convenient for Sun Fugui to get up and take care of the baby, she fell asleep with peace of mind.
After a long absence, Xia Qingmai felt the powerlessness she felt when she was in poor health in her previous life.
But unlike her previous life where she had a noble status and could do nothing about it, this time, she clearly knew that she would get better.
