Returning ho, it was almost nine o’clock. After washing up, he lay down next to his wife.
Jiang Xinyu was already asleep by then. Because of her large belly, she could only sleep flat on her back. The weather was hot, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
Wei Kaiyun took a fan and helped to fan her. Seeing the frown on his wife’s face relax a little, he finally felt at ease.
When Feifei was in the womb, Wei Kaiyun was by her side and knew how hard it was for a woman to carry a child, so he tried to serve her as best as he could. This was sothing he could manage.
After a while, Jiang Xinyu woke up and groggily wanted to get out of bed.
Wei Kaiyun imdiately sat up, got out of bed to help put shoes on his wife, and supported her to the outside toilet.
"When did you co back?"
"A short while ago."
It was dark outside, but you could still see the car parked in the yard.
After coming out of the toilet, Jiang Xinyu was awake. She took the fan from Wei Kaiyun’s hands to fan herself. He was exhausted enough.
"Wife, you sleep first, and I’ll sleep once you’re asleep."
Eventually, the fan ended up in Wei Kaiyun’s hands again.
Jiang Xinyu was no longer sleepy, but she knew that if she didn’t sleep, Wei Kaiyun wouldn’t either, so she closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.
Early the next morning, the whole family got up and went about their own tasks.
After breakfast, the children happily got into the car. Wei Kaiyun drove to pick up Li Yungui and then they departed.
"This big car is really comfortable to sit in," Li Yungui exclaid happily while seated in the passenger seat.
"Village Chief Li, our family is going to the city to buy so grain. We won’t be back early."
"No problem, I rarely get to the county. I’ll shop around too, and buy the things everyone asked to get from the supply and marketing cooperative, waiting for you all."
Wei Kaiyun drove very slowly because he was afraid the bumpy road would make his wife uncomfortable. However, no matter how slow, it was still much faster than other ans of transportation. Before eight o’clock, they reached the county.
"Haha, this ti I am not late. Go ahead with your errands, I’ll be here waiting for you," Li Yungui said, laughing as Wei Kaiyun drove away.
They first went to the hospital. After a check-up, both the baby’s and mother’s health were very good. "Are you planning to deliver at the hospital or at ho?" the doctor asked symbolically, as they didn’t look like rural people who might mind the cost of hospital delivery.
Before Jiang Xinyu could answer, Wei Kaiyun imdiately said, "Doctor, we plan to deliver at the hospital. We just don’t know the approximate ti."
"According to your tiline, it should be in early August. If you’re worried, just co over on the first."
"Alright, thank you, doctor."
Wei Kaiyun was truly concerned for his wife and felt more assured at the hospital.
After leaving the small hospital, Wei Kaiyun looked at Han Jianbin, "Your dad shouldn’t be there at this ti. Let’s call him at noon. Right now, I’ll take you to see the building."
Before they started driving, they saw a crowd of people surging from the other end of the street.
Jiang Xinyu frowned, "Let’s go back to Old Yang’s place first. You take the three children to the building; I’ll wait at ho for you."
Wei Kaiyun also saw two people being escorted at the front, knowing there was going to be a big eting.
"Okay, are you fine at ho by yourself?"
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen."
"Mom, we won’t buy books. We’ll stay at ho with you," Shi Jing said, very concerned.
Jiang Xinyu stroked her son’s head, "Don’t worry, go out and have so fun, just stay away from the crowd. What danger could happen to at ho?"
Wei Kaiyun turned the car around, made a detour, and returned to Old Yang’s house.
He got out of the car, opened the gate, drove in, instructed Jiang Xinyu a few things, and then took the three children out.
They still had so food at ho, but they needed to check for nice things. Moreover, there wasn’t much fine grain at Old Yang’s place; they needed to bring so back.
It’s not good for kids to be cooped up at ho all the ti, and his wife should be fine at ho by herself.
Wei Kaiyun took the three children to the building, first leading them to buy books. "No rush, take your ti picking."
Wei Kaiyun waited patiently on the side with a good temper. He also bought ink, letter paper, which were frequently used at ho.
He also bought pencils, erasers, rulers, and notebooks for the three children.
This ti they picked out more than twenty comic books. Wei Kaiyun asked for so string, neatly bundled them together, and then went downstairs.
His wife ntioned buying so cloth, and they were very familiar with fabrics. With their cloth tickets, they bought three pieces; with so many in the family, one for each. This cloth was used up.
On the first floor, the three children picked snacks themselves. He bought five pounds of brown sugar, two pounds of rock sugar, and the rest were the snacks the children picked.
The two boys each carried sothing. Even though Feifei wanted to help, Wei Kaiyun refused. His precious daughter couldn’t do any work.
"Let’s take this stuff ho first, then we’ll go to the supply and marketing cooperative."
In fact, Wei Kaiyun was worried about Jiang Xinyu at ho. He wanted to go back and check on her.
After arriving ho and seeing his wife, mother, and aunt were fine, he then went out again.
After they left, Jiang Xinyu imdiately took out plenty of sausages, cured ats, a large piece of pork, and a large piece of pork lard from her space. Two bags of rice, two bags of white flour, and twenty pounds of noodles.
Half of these were for Old Yang’s family. So even though it looked like a lot, after splitting it between the two families, it wasn’t too noticeable.
She knew the four of them would co back soon, so she comfortably lay down in bed waiting.
Wei Kaiyun took the three children to the supply and marketing cooperative. He bought vermicelli, following the list his wife gave him, and also bought seasonings, preparing a set for Old Yang, too.
Today, there happened to be so eggs available. After saying a lot of good words, Wei Kaiyun managed to buy all the eggs.
"Dad, Aunt Liu said our family’s chickens will be laying eggs soon too."
"Hmm, buy more, if not we can preserve them as salted eggs for you."
"Dad, let’s go back. I’ll stay at ho with Mom, and my two brothers can go with you to buy grain," Jiang Feifei suggested, seeing her father and brothers’ hands were full, while she didn’t have to carry anything.
"Okay, let’s go ho once more."
It was already close to eleven o’clock. "We can buy the grain in the afternoon. After we get ho, I’ll go buy lunch, and you can stay ho with your mom.
Jianbin, you can also call your dad now. He should be there at this ti."
Jiang Xinyu opened the door, seeing the guys co back with big bags and bundles, and smiled, "I also got a lot of nice things while at ho."
The four of them saw the at in the house, and the three children were very happy.
Wei Kaiyun knew his wife had secrets, but he acted as though he didn’t know.
