When Xia Qingmai opened her eyes again, the first thing she heard was the sound of Sun Fugui coaxing the two children to eat obediently outside the door.
He touched the watch next to the pillow and looked at the time. Seeing that it was about to reach eight o'clock, Xia Qingmai stood up slowly.
She thought she would feel uncomfortable today after being so tired last night, but when Xia Qingmai actually landed her feet, she realized that she was feeling uncomfortable, but it was not as uncomfortable as she imagined.
After washing up and eating a bowl of pimple soup made by Sun Fugui, Xia Qingmai had completely recovered.
Sure enough, I am still as healthy as I am now.
Seeing Xia Qingmai's face turn rosy, Sun Fugui also breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know what he thought of, but Sun Fugui suddenly approached Xia Qingmai and said, "Qingmai, I will be more restrained in the future."
Although Sun Fugui said this suddenly, Xia Qingmai understood it.
She glanced at the two children who had finished eating and were playing in front of the house, looked at Sun Fugui and whispered back: "It's time to calm down. I felt very tired when I woke up this morning."
"It's okay once in a while, but if it happens often, not only our bodies won't be able to bear it, but it won't be good even if the children see it."
Hearing Xia Qingmai's words of tiredness and worry, Sun Fugui immediately answered, "Then let's come back early today and have a good rest at night."
Naturally, Xia Qingmai would not object to Sun Fugui's proposal.
Because they had to get their certificates before returning to Shihai Brigade, Xia Qingmai and Sun Fugui did not dare to delay. After eating, they took their children out.
These days, there are many people in towns and villages who don't get marriage certificates and just hold banquets, let alone get them after they have children.
Seeing that the eldest of the two children was three years old, the staff who applied for the marriage certificate couldn't help but tell Sun Fugui a few words about how it is not good for women to get married and have children too early.
Hearing that he was misunderstood, Sun Fugui was about to explain, but Xia Qingmai interrupted: "You are right, we will remember it."
Being interrupted by his wife, Sun Fugui was confused but did not refute anything.
Waiting to get the marriage certificate and a few tickets to go out, Xia Qingmai looked at Sun Fugui and whispered: "Don't let the children hear what the mother-in-law and stepmother said. Although this matter may not be hidden, at least we must wait. They will explain it properly when they are sensible."
Worried that the two children would understand, Xia Qingmai specifically used 'mother' instead of 'mother'.
But Sun Fugui understood.
He didn't expect Xia Qingmai to consider this so carefully. Seeing his wife naturally not feeling like she had done anything special, Sun Fugui felt that his heart was completely soft.
He actually got such a good wife?
Riding on the bicycle, with his son sitting in front and his wife holding his daughter sitting sideways behind him, Sun Fugui felt that he was full of motivation at this moment.
What's a big uphill on the way back home?
He is young and has good physical strength. He can just push hard and won't have any trouble getting down and walking.
If he can't ride it anymore, he can still get down and push the cart, but his wife must not be tired.
Xia Qingmai didn't understand why Sun Fugui was so excited. Seeing the clear autumn day, Sun Fugui was actually sweating. She quickly said, "How about I come down and walk for a while?"
"Need not!"
As soon as the words came out, Sun Fugui, who was worried that his wife would misunderstand his impatience, quickly added: "I can still ride, but this slope will disappear soon."
After hearing Sun Fugui's words, Xia Qingmai leaned back slightly, looked forward, and saw that the slope was almost over, so he didn't insist.
Once you get up this slope, the rest of the way will be easy.
After riding for about half an hour, Xia Qingmai saw Yao Daya waiting at a fork in the road from a distance.
In addition to Yao Daya, she held a two-year-old boy in her arms, and stood beside her a little girl about five or six years old.
"Shuyu, grandma, sister and second brother are here to pick us up."
Perhaps it was because she had been staying with her mother from yesterday afternoon to this morning. When she heard "grandma" and "sister and second brother", the little girl Shuyu also became excited.
"grandmother!"
As soon as Sun Fugui's bicycle stopped, Yao Daya heard the voice of "grandma" that smelled like milk from her little granddaughter.
Almost instantly, a happy smile appeared on Yao Daya's face.
After she looked at her second son's family, she looked at Xia Qingmai and said, "It seems that this child really can't leave his mother for too long. Shu Yan and Shu Yu both laughed when they looked at it."
The little boy Shuyan, who had just been carried out of the car by his father, first pursed his lips and smiled, then walked to Xia Qingmai's legs, raised his head and looked at Yao Daya and the others and said obediently: "Grandma, sister, good morning, brother Xiangyang."
Yao Daya let go of the hand holding the child, and slowly touched the top of Shuyan's hair with his dry and cracked palm, "Oh, good morning, Shuyan, too."
Looking at the obviously lively grandchildren, Yao Daya felt more and more that his daughter-in-law was a good wife.
There are too many children in their brigade who were taught by their mothers not to kiss their grandparents. Although there are problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, in Yao Daya's view, these things have nothing to do with the children.
No matter what happens in private, at least the superficial relationship must be maintained.
With these things in mind, Yao Daya also called her eldest granddaughter to get her younger brothers and sisters so that her second son could introduce the situation of their team to his daughter-in-law.
This is Xia Qingmai's first visit to the Shihai Brigade. Compared with Xiajiawan, which has a large river passing through it, the Shihai Brigade is obviously poorer.
Walking down the main road and heading towards the second team where the Sun family is located, there are almost houses made of mud and grass on both sides of the road.
There are a few stone houses here and there, and according to Sun Fugui's introduction, they are almost all the homes of the captain, accountant and others.
After walking for about five minutes, Xia Qingmai and his party finally arrived at Sun's house.
At this time, the main hall of the Sun family was filled with relatives of the Sun family, who were all waiting for the arrival of the new daughter-in-law.
The people they were waiting for were following Sun Fugui's hand and looking towards the two newly built stone houses on the west side of the yard.
With stone walls and tile roof, the house looks quite new.
"It was built with the money I sent back two years ago. It is our two-room house. I plan to rent them to the educated youth in the brigade."
Xia Qingmai had long heard Sun Fugui mention that he also had two houses in the Shihai Brigade, but he didn't know that they would be stone and tile houses that were different from the other houses in the Sun family.
Xia Qingmai also knew about renting out these two rooms, but she did not expect that Sun Fugui planned to rent them to educated youths.
She originally thought that renting out the house was Sun Fugui's excuse. He actually wanted to let his eldest brother or parents live in the house.
However, it is good to rent it to educated youths. You will get a fixed income every month. Although it is not much, it is still money.
Xia Qingmai would rather subsidize the monthly rent to her parents-in-law than let them live in this house directly.
Even if they won't come back to live in these two houses in the future, there are still some things in the house besides the parents-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law, so it's better to figure out some things clearly.
Thinking of these things, Xia Qingmai also followed Sun Fugui into the Sun family hall.
