Actually, whether it’s a man or a woman, having motivation and the ability to earn money gives you confidence from within.
Jiang Xinyu looked at Li Yungui’s straight-backed figure and smiled.
After delivering the money, she continued planting spinach with Sister-in-law Liu.
When Jiang Xinyu arrived last year, there weren’t many vegetables, which made her anxious. So this year she harvested a lot of dried vegetables. The most important thing is that they have a cellar this year; at the very least, they can consider cabbage, radishes, potatoes, and carrots as fresh vegetables.
"Xiao Jiang, we won’t have to worry about vegetables this year."
"Yes, we won’t fear that the children will get mouth ulcers this winter. It’s just that we don’t have many eggs."
"Next year, we can raise chickens ourselves."
Jiang Xinyu wasn’t particularly interested in raising chickens and pigs, but next year she might give it a try since they shouldn’t be too unique.
The two of them worked quickly. After covering three ridges of spinach, they stopped.
The dough had already risen; they made stead bread, stead at buns, and fried dough twists. These were all for them to eat on the train. Even though the supply wasn’t as tight now, you couldn’t eat well if you wanted to.
By evening after work, there was still a third of the sweet potato vines left uncut. If it were any other year, Li Cunshan would have been anxious, but this year there’s no rush; he didn’t mind working slowly.
When Wei Kaiyun returned ho, dinner was almost ready. He quickly freshened up and joined the family for dinner.
All three children were very excited, knowing that tomorrow they would go out with Dad. They were looking forward to taking the train to a faraway place.
Their luggage was packed in various ways. Jiang Xinyu didn’t involve herself much, but the children reported everything to her. Jiang Xinyu thought they managed their packing well.
"Mom, when we leave, will you miss us?" Shi Jing, despite being a true little child, started worrying about Mom as they were about to leave.
"Of course, I’ll miss you. Mom will be waiting at ho for you. I know you three are obedient children and won’t let Dad or Monk Master worry."
"Yes, we’ll be good. Mom, take care of the little ones at ho. I’ll definitely bring you gifts when I co back."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and nodded, "Alright, Mom will be waiting for your gifts." She felt reluctant to let the three children leave, but she knew it wouldn’t be good to keep them ho all the ti. Having a chance to explore outside was a good thing.
After dinner, the whole family bathed. The children bathed themselves, while Jiang Xinyu sat on the kang and took care of the two smaller ones.
Wei Kaiyun ca back after his bath, lying on his side, supporting his head with his hand, watching his wife care for the two children, thinking how beautiful the scene was.
"Honey, I’ll try to co back early."
"Okay, just be sure to return before New Year’s."
"I understand, at ho, it’s just you two won with the kids. Be careful."
"No worries, the village is peaceful; nothing will happen.
Keep an eye on the children while you’re away."
"Our children are considerate; don’t worry. Also, I’ll take them to et so leaders."
"I have no objections. By the way, are you bringing supplies for the leaders?"
Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "Over there, the leaders are catered for. We’ll see when we get there.
Honey, I can’t bear to leave you."
"I’m fine at ho, but you guys, it’s chaotic outside. Your main task is to watch over the kids."
"Right now, you only have the kids on your mind, I’ve dropped to the last place."
Jiang Xinyu gave Wei Kaiyun a slight glare, but since he was about to leave, she still comforted him, "Because in my heart, you’re all-capable, and I don’t have to worry about you."
Wei Kaiyun was ward inside by his wife’s words and instantly gave her a passionate kiss.
The night was long. Wei Kaiyun finally released his wife when the children woke up in the middle of the night.
Jiang Xinyu never got up; Wei Kaiyun attended to everything, directly feeding the two children milk powder.
The next day, in the morning, Sister-in-law Liu made noodles—seafood noodles, with an egg for each person.
Jiang Xinyu packed two large bags full of food for them to eat on the train.
With her husband and children about to leave, Jiang Xinyu suddenly felt reluctant and worried about them.
Wei Kaiyun put his arm around Jiang Xinyu’s shoulder, "The boys and I will definitely be safe. Don’t worry; with around, the kids will be fine."
Jiang Xinyu nodded and squatted down to look at the three children, "You must behave."
All three children nodded. At this ti, Chaoyang and Xiang Dong ca over, carrying burlap sacks.
"Teacher Jiang, we’ll take care of Jianbin and the others."
Jiang Xinyu stood up and smiled, nodding, "Alright, I’ll trouble you on the way."
Li Yungui and Li Yunqiang also ca over, having already discussed that Wei Kaiyun would take ten thousand yuan this ti.
All the money was in Feifei’s bag. But they didn’t know; only mother and daughter understood that the money wouldn’t be lost.
"Xiao Wei, don’t worry, Teacher Jiang has us to look after her."
"Thanks, Village Chief Li."
The four young n joining them also ca over. They were better off than Chaoyang and Xiang Dong; they all had leather bags.
Jiang Xinyu glanced at them, went inside to get two leather bags, and handed them to Chaoyang and Xiang Dong. "It’s not showing off; it’s just feeling a bit out of place. You should also switch to these."
The two young n naturally had so vanity. Seeing the leather bags given by Teacher Jiang, they happily accepted them, squatted down, and began to switch.
The ti was already seven o’clock, and there was the sound of a car outside. Old Yang and the others had arrived.
However, only Old Yang ca over. "Xiao Wei, Xiao Jiang, Xiao Li are not coming now; Guodong and the others have to work. When they’re free, it’ll be up to Xiao Jiang to pick them up."
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "No problem. When the ti is right, I’ll go pick them up."
Wei Kaiyun looked at his old friend and found he wasn’t reluctant, so he was at ease. He didn’t know much about his brother’s wife but knew she still had a child’s nature.
Since the old friend decided, it wasn’t a problem.
Finally, they went to the township in two shifts. Jiang Xinyu drove.
The car was cramped, but Wei Kaiyun didn’t want his wife to make an extra trip.
Chaoyang and Xiang Dong watched Teacher Jiang driving so skillfully, feeling very envious. The two of them also wanted to learn how to drive.
Wei Kaiyun waited at the station for his wife to finish the second trip to bring Chaoyang and the others over. Holding her hand, he genuinely couldn’t bear to part; living together as a family had beco addictive to him.
"Go back. We’ll wait for the bus ourselves. Don’t worry."
Jiang Xinyu nodded, squatted down, and hugged each of the three children. "Mom will be waiting for you at ho."
