Li Xiaoju said with a smile: "Girl Xin has a holiday at the end of the year. We were worried about her riding alone in the car, so we specially came to pick her up to take her home for the New Year. These things were just brought here by the way. They are all worthless things grown in our own land. You guys

Just don’t dislike it.”

"As for taking the shuttle bus, the driver and conductor are all serving the people, so they can't help but let us get on the bus."

"Haha, that's what Auntie said." Yu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then became very happy. You can imagine the conductor's expression when he saw the couple buying two tickets to occupy the space for four people.

Han Xue made tea and put snacks on the table, and invited Mi Weiguo and his wife: "Uncle and aunt, I will pick up these local specialties later. You have worked hard all the way. Come over and have a cup of hot tea to relax."

"Okay, okay, my mother-in-law is welcome." Aunt Li grabbed Mi Weiguo's hand and sat down to drink tea.

It was impossible not to be tired as I was rushing to change trains all the way. I was afraid of motion sickness and I didn't drink anything or drink all the way. I was very thirsty right now.

Why did Xiao Zhuzhu not participate when the family came to drink tea and eat melon seeds?

"Guaguagua"

The unique soft and waxy sound of a baby is like a stone thrown into the lake of the heart, making everyone involuntarily raise their lips.

Xiao Zhuzhu attracted everyone's attention as soon as she opened her mouth. Qiao Jun held her armpits with two hands from behind and moved towards the coffee table step by step, but his hand stretched forward first.

"When I see your eager look, I know you want to eat melon seeds." As soon as Han Xue saw her granddaughter's drooling mouth, a kind smile instantly appeared on her face.

They had been busy unpacking the things they had brought when they came in. Now that they sat down, Li Xiaoju and Mi Weiguo took a serious look at the fat and white baby.

A chrysanthemum-like smile bloomed on Li Xiaoju's face, "Is this your daughter? Time flies so fast, she's already learning to walk?"

As she said that, she waved to Xiao Zhuzhu. When the little girl saw someone greeting her, she jumped up and down excitedly and then continued to move forward.

Yu Qing pursed her lips and smiled, complaining: "Learning to walk now is too taxing on adults' waists. It's impossible for her to sit still. She always wants to go to the ground and walk around all day long, and adults help her walk with a tight waist. In just a few minutes

I feel like my waist is about to break."

Li Xiaoju comforted her: "It's not easy to raise a child. Everyone has been through this. It will be much better when she is older and can walk."

So people in this world say that giving birth to kindness is worse than cultivating kindness. It is not easy to give birth to a child but even harder to raise a child. Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Mi Zhu who raised Yu Qing. He was such a tough man in the past. Who would have thought that he suddenly became ill just a few months ago? Just left.

Yu Qing smiled and said nothing. She raised a child who is one hundred years old and often worries about ninety-nine. This is not just talk.

Li Xiaoju saw Xiao Zhuzhu being supported by Qiao Jun and moved to the table. She took her little hand and looked at her carefully. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her, especially her big, clear eyes and chubby little hands.

Looking at the little man in front of me, I couldn't help but think of Yu Qing when she was a child: "She looks so good, she looks exactly like you when you were a child. You were too thin when you were a child. If you were fatter and whiter, your daughter would be your exact replica."

Han Xue became interested after hearing this, and asked with a smile: "What was Qingqing like when she was a child?"

The smile on Li Xiaoju's face stagnated slightly, and she really wanted to give herself a slap in the face. She didn't mention any pot. Yu Qing didn't have a good life when she was a child, but most rural families were like that, nothing outstanding, this is nothing

Easy to talk about.

Seeing that Han Xue had been waiting for her answer, he smiled and said vaguely: "Haha. When she was a child, she was relatively thin and shy."

The corner of Yu Qing's mouth twitched. She was shy. To put it bluntly, she was cowardly.

"Oh." Han Xue nodded after hearing this, and looked at Yu Qing again, not unlike how shy she was when she was a child.

Li Xiaoju said quite proudly: "But she was shy when she was young, but now she has become successful. Qing Yatou is the only lesbian in our village who has an iron rice bowl. I don't know how many girls in the village are envious of her."

A few women chatted, but Mi Weiguo did not participate. He sat quietly drinking tea and eating melon seeds. When he heard this, he also thought that in the village, their eldest son was now the only other son in the village besides Mi Qianjin.

The man who holds the iron rice bowl.

He is also an influential figure in the production team, brigade headquarters, and town, and many people give him special respect.

Li Xiaoju asked again: "Last time Sister-in-law Zhu was sent back to the village, and a few months later she was brought to the city again. Have you seen her in the city?"

Yu Qing shook her head: "His son is far away from us, and we rarely meet him under normal circumstances."

"I heard that his daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby, and she came to help take care of the baby."

While idle at home in the afternoon, Li Xiaoju chatted about some people and things in the village. Yu Qing found that there were not many things that she was interested in, but she couldn't show it, so she had to bite the bullet and listen.

It wasn't until Han Xue stood up to chop meat stuffed stuffed tofu and make dinner that Li Xiaoju stopped, got up and followed her to the kitchen to help.

It was much better to chat with Mi Weiguo. Most of what he talked about was the things that men care about, such as the output of the production team and some major events in the brigade and the town.

"Next year our village will implement a contract responsibility system and distribute production to each household. The fields have already been distributed by the end of the year. We just have to wait until the end of the new year for spring plowing to be implemented."

Yu Qing raised her eyebrows after hearing this: "This policy is good. The labor enthusiasm of the members will definitely be as high as ever. The burden on the shoulders of your village cadres will be much lighter, and they will have more time to do their own things."

At least I don't have to use them to supervise me every day when I go to work, but the farm work at home may become heavier because there is no longer distribution according to work.

There are pros and cons, but in the end the pros outweigh the cons!

On the 29th of the year, several of the company's employees from other places can go back one day early.

Mi Xin came to Yu Qing's small yard early in the morning with the New Year's goods she had prepared.

At the end of the year, there were so many things at home that Mi Weiguo didn't have time to stay in the city. After breakfast in the morning, he took the New Year's gift prepared by Yu Qing for them and got into the car. Xiang Yisen carefully warned Yu Qing and then drove

They return to the village.

In the morning, Shouxiaojun came to the courtyard and reported to Yu Qing a summary of the year's work. The two discussed the work plan for next year. They had lunch in the courtyard, and in the afternoon Yu Qing drove him to the store to give information to the employees.

Send out year-end red envelopes.

The company also prepared New Year gifts for each employee, who can receive them at their respective stores before getting off work in the afternoon and then go home to celebrate the New Year.

Many employees were worried about the last day of work this year. Yu Qing found out but did not lecture them. It is understandable that everyone wanted to go home to celebrate the New Year.

There were no single or even girls in the store, and after asking, I found out that they had taken the train last night to go back to their hometown.

After going through all the stores, the last stop was the department store. After giving out red envelopes to all employees, Yu Qing and Shou Xiaojun separated and walked around the department store alone.

On the last day of shopping at the end of the year, business at various counters in the building was very good, and there was no shortage of food, candy, and small department stores on the first floor.

Yu Qing started shopping directly from the second floor. The price tags on various electrical appliances at the electrical appliance counter were extremely high. It was better to buy them online.

There were not many people at the jade, gold and silver jewelry counter. Yu Qing came to the counter with a big belly. She must give everyone in the family a gift in the New Year.

Her mother-in-law has worked hard to take care of her children at home this year and helped her choose a pair of gold bracelets. Qiao Jun's child also helped take care of Xiao Zhuzhu at home during the holidays and helped him choose an alarm clock to make it easier to get up in the morning to go to school.

Xiaozhuzhu bought some toys.

As for Xiang Yisen's gift of leather shoes, he had already bought them online.

After buying gifts, I also spotted some bracelets and jade earrings at the jade counter.

"Yu Qing!"

Chen Yuzhu didn't expect to meet Yu Qing when he went to the department store to buy new year goods. Especially when he saw her huge belly, he was shocked.

Yu Qing heard someone calling her, and when she turned around, she saw Chen Yuzhu and Qiao Daming walking towards her.

Look at the bags they are carrying: "Why did you come to the city? I see you bought a lot of new year's goods, are you preparing to celebrate the New Year in the city?"

Chen Yuzhu walked up to Yu Qing, circled around her, and said with envy: "You are so awesome. You had a baby not long ago, and you are pregnant with another baby here. How many months are you pregnant?"

Yu Qing stroked her belly with a smile: "It's been almost seven months, and you still haven't answered my question!"

Chen Yuzhu clicked her tongue, and the envy in her eyes almost overflowed. She and Qiao Daming had been married for almost two years and were still not pregnant. Yu Qing, who got married around the same time as them, had already given birth to a second child.

Yu Qing smiled at Qiao Daming, who was following behind, and let Chen Yuzhu look him over.

Qiao Daming stepped forward and said: "The proposal you gave us last time was good. When the hotel opened, we applied to be transferred to the city to work. At first, the leader did not agree. Recently, the hotel has added staff, and our application was approved."

Yu Qing thought about it, had she ever said this?

No matter what, I was only happy for them to come to work in the city except for the accident: "You are working in a hotel now?"

"Well, there will be more opportunities for us to meet in the future." Although he and Yu Qing were a bit at odds, Chen Yuzhu still liked getting along with her.

Qiao Daming glanced at the counter behind him, "Comrade Yu, do you want to buy jade?"

Yu Qing turned around and looked at the jade jewelry she was interested in, "Well, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I'm going to choose some gifts for my family. Jade is relatively cheap, do you want to buy some?"

Chen Yuzhu snorted: "You think everyone is as wealthy as you, how many things do you want to choose? We, husband and wife, are all buying the same thing now!"

Yu Qing rolled her eyes at her and cursed secretly: "Scrooge!"

"I don't believe you two can't even afford a piece of jade jewelry on your salary. I can calculate your finances with my eyes closed. Don't cry poor in front of me, or you may be struck by lightning!"

Chen Yuzhu gritted his teeth angrily: "You" were struck by lightning!

"Yuzhu, is there anyone you like? How about you choose the same one?" Qiao Daming stroked his forehead and quickly interrupted her.

Faced with two people who would quarrel with each other whenever they met, he was really helpless and had a headache.

There is no woman who doesn't love jewelry. Chen Yuzhu snorted coldly, but his eyes were glued to the counter.

Yu Qing asked the salesperson to wrap up the items she selected and then issue an invoice.

"Yu Qing, do you think this bracelet looks good?" Chen Yuzhu chose a bracelet of a suitable size and tried it on. It looked good.

"nice."

"How beautiful?"

“It’s so beautiful!”

Qiao Daming asked the salesperson to write the ticket: "If it looks good, I'll buy it."

After buying the jewelry, Chen Yuzhu glanced at the second floor and asked, "Yu Qing, what else do you want to buy?"

Yu Qing: "I don't have much to buy. I just came here for a casual stroll today."
