Chapter 108 Buying New Year's Goods

The next morning, Ye Mingyuan got up at around six o'clock because he planned to go to the county seat.

After washing up and heating up breakfast, at around seven o'clock, he planned to go out and borrow a car to go to the county town, but was stopped by Su Jiao.

Su Jiao was worried that the ice on the road was too solid and it would be too dangerous to slip while riding on the road, so she asked Ye Mingyuan to melt the ice a little before setting off.

It was delayed until after nine o'clock, almost ten o'clock, before Ye Mingyuan went to the branch secretary to borrow a bicycle and went to the county seat.

Su Jiao was teaching Ye Yao to do arithmetic problems, and Su's mother came with a small basket.

"Mom, why are you here in such a cold weather?" Su Jiao shouted in surprise.

Ye Yao, who was doing arithmetic problems, also said hello sweetly.

Su Jiao had not seen Su's mother for more than ten days. Previously, Su's mother came every three days. Su Jiao had to persuade Su's mother for a long time before she reluctantly agreed to stay at home.

But Su's father and Su's mother still couldn't let go at home. Every time when they were ten and a half months old, Su's father or Su's mother would always come to Su Jiao's place to take a look.

Su's father had just come here five days ago. Su Jiao didn't expect Su's mother to come again so soon.

"You kid, my mother misses you, so she can't come over to see you?"

Mother Su put the basket on the edge of the kang, took off her hat, responded to Ye Yao, shook the coldness from her body and said with a smile.

Su Jiao chuckled, "Aren't I afraid that you will freeze? Please get on the kang and warm yourself up."

Mother Su didn't go directly to the kang. She reached out and touched the inside of the kang. She frowned slightly and went to the kitchen to add a few pieces of firewood to the stove before taking off her shoes and getting on the kang.

"In such a cold weather, we must burn more firewood at home, but we must not freeze. If the firewood at home is not enough, I will ask your father and third brother to send a few loads over. Where did Mingyuan go? Why is he not at home?"

Before Mother Su could sit firmly on her butt, she began to mutter with concern.

"Mom, I know, it's been burning. Mingyuan just added firewood when he went out. He went to the county to buy new year's goods." Su Jiao pulled the quilt covering her legs from Su's mother and responded with a smile.

Mother Su smiled as she watched Su Jiao act coquettishly.

"Mom made some corn brown sugar cakes and brought them to you. You and Yaoyao can try them. They are still warm not long after they came out of the pot." Mother Su thought of what she had brought and took it out from the basket on the edge of the bed as she spoke. A plate of steamed buns cut into small pieces.

"It's delicious, sweet, and glutinous." Su Jiao was not polite, she picked up a piece and took a bite, and said with bright eyes.

Ye Yao's mother stuffed a piece of it into her hand, and the little guy was shaking his head.

Mother Su was so happy when she saw that Su Jiao liked it, she watched Su Jiao eating with a smile.

"Mom, you eat too." Su Jiao felt embarrassed, picked up a piece from the plate and stuffed it into Su's mother's mouth.

Mother Su originally shook her head and said she had eaten it, but she couldn't resist Su Jiao, so she finally took the cake and ate it together.

"Mom, the sweet potato cake you made last time was also very delicious. Mom's craftsmanship is very good." Su Jiao said vaguely after taking a big bite of the cake.

"I'll do it for you next time," Mother Su said with a smile.

Su's mother felt sorry for Su Jiao. Every time she came, she would always bring some cakes she made for Su Jiao, such as brown sugar corn cakes and sweet potato cakes.

The brown sugar cake made by Su's mother was particularly delicious. Su Jiao ate three pieces in a row before stopping. Ye Yao ate two pieces and felt that her belly was full before stopping.

"Mom, how are you doing lately, sister-in-law? Are you having trouble too?" Su Jiao asked.

"Your sister-in-law is doing well recently. She can eat and sleep well. Mom made steamed cakes and asked your elder brother to take four pieces, and Dabao two pieces. Two pieces is enough for her," Mother Su said.

Su Jiao thought, Sister-in-law Su must know that Mother Su sent a plate of cakes here. Now that they are both pregnant, Mother Su is so biased towards her, and she is worried that Sister-in-law Su will feel uncomfortable.

Just as she was about to start talking, Su's mother seemed to know what Su Jiao was thinking, and continued: "The brown sugar in the cake is from you and Mingyuan Xiaojing. Mother can give the cake to whomever she wants, and mother will give her two." She has already taken advantage of me. If she is not satisfied yet and dares to have any messy thoughts, she will never get a hair from me in the future."

"Mom, my sister-in-law should not be this kind of person. Otherwise, my brother would go fishing in the river every two days in the cold weather and bring it here, and my sister-in-law would have had a problem with her." Su Jiao has been quite pleased with Sister-in-law Su these days.

Mother Su thought about what Su Jiao said and nodded, "It's not the best, but don't be like that wife from the north, otherwise my mother won't spoil her." Mother Su seemed to have thought of something, and the more she spoke, the angrier she became.

When Su Jiao heard that Su's mother was still busy, she immediately became energetic.

Mother Su looked at Su Jiao's gossipy appearance and told the whole story in a funny way.

It turns out that Aunt Fengyun's house has been very lively recently. The second daughter-in-law and the eldest daughter-in-law of Aunt Fengyun's house are having a lot of trouble.

The reason is that the second daughter-in-law always feels that Aunt Fengyun is partial to the eldest daughter-in-law. Every time something trivial happens, the family will be in uproar. Recently, Aunt Fengyun has been in trouble.

"I told your two brothers recently that when your third brother gets married, they both have to restrain their wives, but they must not cause such messy things in front of me, otherwise I won't have you. Aunt Fengyun is so good-tempered."

Su Jiao became more and more excited as her mother talked and quickly changed the topic and started talking about other things.

Su's mother knew that Ye Mingyuan had gone to the county town and would not be able to return home at noon, so she insisted on staying to help Su Jiao prepare lunch. Su Jiao also wanted to stay with Su's mother for a while, and it happened that Su's mother could be left to eat at home, so she did not stop her. .

Mother Su didn't leave until Su Jiao and Ye Yao woke up from their nap.

After sending Su's mother away, Su Jiao went down to the kang to make ginger soup.

At around three o'clock, Ye Mingyuan finally came back. There were large and small bags piled high on the back seat, several net bags hung on the handlebars, and a large backpack on his back, which was full for both people and the car.

Ye Mingyuan moved things to the floor of the West House like a hamster. After a while, the floor was full of piles, and there was no place to put his feet.

Su Jiao got off the kang and served ginger soup to Ye Mingyuan. Ye Mingyuan drank two bowls of ginger soup, and his body began to feel warm.

Su Jiao was not in a hurry to read anything, and poured hot water for Ye Mingyuan to soak her feet.

After soaking his feet and his whole body began to feel warm, Ye Mingyuan began to count the things he bought in detail.

Peach cakes, cans, candies, melon seeds, oranges, apples, boxed snacks, etc. I basically bought three or four portions of each, and also bought two bottles of liquor and two packs of Daqianmen.

"Daughter-in-law, I went to the Meng family and the Wang family to give holiday gifts to the uncles and aunts of the two families. These are their return gifts." Ye Mingyuan pointed to a small pile of things in the corner and said.

Su Jiao looked in the direction he pointed and found two packages of biscuits and four cans of meat, as well as

Su Jiao told Ye Mingyuan in the morning to buy some wine, canned snacks, etc. as gifts for the elders of Wang Tiantian and Meng Long's family when they arrived in the county. After all, they had a good relationship with Wang Tiantian and Meng Long, and they had helped a lot in the past six months. , you still need to have the proper etiquette and return the favor to some extent.

But he didn't expect that the return gifts from the two families would be even more valuable.

These days, a canned meat costs more than one piece, which is a rare item. The two packages of biscuits are also packaged in a package that Su Jiao has never seen in the county. They are probably biscuits from big cities or imported. Su Jiao could guess that the canned food and biscuits should be given by the Meng family.
