Su Yan hadn't been to the mountain for half a month, and had hardly gone out. He just stayed at home cooking and taking care of the children.

Xiaobao's burns had healed long ago, and Su Yan even made two sets of jumpsuits for her. As the weather was getting warmer, the child wore less and less. Seeing her arms and legs already developing into lotus roots, Su Yan felt a sense of accomplishment.

I also like to knead her little face, it feels so good to knead her chubby face

That day, Chen Jiao came to ask her to go shopping in town together.

Seeing that the eggs at home had been almost eaten, Su Yan agreed to go with her.

After saying something to Yang Dan, she carried Xiaobao on her back and went out with Chen Jiao.

This day was a public holiday in Tianshui Village, and there were tractors and ox carts carrying people back and forth all day long.

Some people choose to take a holiday, but more people of course choose to continue working and earn an extra day's work points.

When Su Yan and Chen Jiao arrived at the ox cart point, there was just an ox cart ready to depart.

The two of them squeezed in, and Chen Jiao pretended to be generous and said, "It's only one cent to ride in the ox cart. I'll pay for you."

Su Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll pay for you when we get back."

Chen Jiao: "Yeah, that's fine."

Su Yan knew that she was pretending to be generous. If she really wanted to pay, she could just say "I'll pay for you". Why add the word "bar" at the end?

Isn't this just asking Su Yan if you need me to pay for you?

If the original owner was someone who cared about face and had a strong sense of self-esteem, he would naturally say, "No need, I'll pay for it myself."

But Su Yan didn't want to be polite with her, so he directly said that she would pay when he got back. Chen Jiao immediately agreed to this proposal. It can be seen that she didn't want to pay for Su Yan in the first place, but she still had to pretend to be generous.

Chen Jiao saw that the child Su Yan was carrying had become a lot fatter and cuter than he was half a month ago.

She secretly marveled in her heart, is Su Yan going to take good care of her daughter?

Is she no longer making trouble and is content with the status quo?

When they arrived in the town, they asked when the last ox cart would run, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Chen Jiao intentionally or unintentionally asked how much money Su Yan's elder brother had sent her.

Su Yan always changes the subject and doesn't give a direct answer.

When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Jiao asked Su Yan what he wanted to buy.

Su Yan: "Let's buy fifty eggs. There are many children in the family, and eggs are consumed quickly."

Chen Jiao: "Don't you want to buy something else? If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you first."

Su Yan: "No, let me see what's going on first."

There were a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperative. Su Yan went to buy eggs first, then squeezed to another counter and bought some biscuits.

Chen Jiao picked up a bag of White Rabbit candy and pretended to be surprised and said, "There is actually another bag of White Rabbit candy here. Su Yan, do you want to buy some? You have many children in your family, they will definitely like it very much."

Su Yan: "Not for now. I bought some cookies. If you buy too many things at once, they won't know how to cherish them. If you like them, buy them."

Chen Jiao: “…”

White Rabbit milk candy is so expensive, one bag costs two dollars and fifty cents, and you need candy coupons.

Even if Lin Dong has a salary, he can't spend money like this.

She pretended not to hear what Su Yan said, and continued to speak self-righteously: "Don't you have sugar coupons? I have them. I can lend them to you first. If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you. Lin Dong of our family got his salary yesterday."

Su Yan said, "No need, they are happy enough with eggs and biscuits."

Chen Jiao: "But I remember you used to like eating White Rabbit candy very much."

Su Yan: "I don't like sweets anymore."

After saying that, Su Yan didn't wait for Chen Jiao to continue speaking, but walked to the other side and bought some needles and thread.

Chen Jiao asked puzzledly: "Why did you buy needles and thread?"

Su Yan: "My little baby is growing fast, I'll buy some needle and thread to make clothes for her. You know I used to be pretty good at embroidery."

Chen Jiao: “…”

After visiting the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Jiao suddenly said, "Hey, our Lin Dong has a bicycle. I can go and wait for him to get off work and go back together. Otherwise, you can go back by yourself later. As for the fare, you can help me pay it next time."

Su Yan: "Okay, go ahead."

Seeing that Su Yan was not angry or jealous at all, Chen Jiao felt strange in her heart.

After saying goodbye to Su Yan apologetically, she walked towards the steel plant.

Su Yan was hoping that she would leave earlier so that it would be more convenient for her to do what she was going to do next.

Su Yan walked to an empty corner and slipped into the space. When he reappeared, he had changed his appearance, clothes, hairstyle and even a wig.

Age spots were painted on her face, and as for the child, she placed him in a backpack and covered him with a piece of gauze.

Su Yan carried a big basket and went to a nearby residential building to sell things.

Her basket contained apples, bacon, soap, and other items.

After a round, these things were sold quickly and I made a net profit of thirty dollars.

Su Yan found another secluded corner and entered the space to change his clothes.

Then she went to the post office again, and this time she asked the postman, and found out that there was a letter for her.

It was a reply letter from her elder brother, and it just arrived today.

In the letter, Brother Su said that he had received the things she sent and asked her to live her own life and not worry about them.

Of course, I also asked her whether the man she married was good to her. Next time, it would be best to mail a photo so that they can see what the child and the father look like.

They did not blame her for marrying hastily. Instead, they felt relieved after learning why she got married.

At least there was someone protecting her where they couldn't see her and preventing her from being bullied.

Brother Su told her to write to them more often and there was no need to send them anything. It was more important to take care of her own family first.

Su Yan immediately wrote a letter at the post office, telling them about her specific situation here, and also telling them not to worry. She was living a good life, her husband was diligent and hardworking, her daughter was well-behaved and cute, her mother-in-law was a good old lady who knew how to manage the household, and her brother and sister-in-law were easy to get along with and took on most of the housework.

She is actually the most relaxed person in the family. She takes care of the children and helps with some housework every day and doesn't feel tired at all.

She took out a lot of things from the backpack, or actually from the space.

There are cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants, bacon, dried fruits, dried fungus, brown sugar, vermicelli, etc.

The staff all thought she had too much stuff in her backpack, and of course, what she took out of the basket.

When all was added together, there were about twenty or thirty kilograms of stuff, which filled a large package.

Su Yan stuffed the letter into the package and mailed it to them.

After sending the things, it’s time to go back.

Her basket and backpack were covered. When she saw the ox cart, they were already filled with things. Xiaobao was sitting on those things so as not to crush her.
