A warm marriage

Chapter 1014

The two were in the open space, cuddling together and looking at the starry sky, while chatting with each other. They didn't quietly go back to the room until after nine o'clock.

Old Wu whispered: "They have returned to the house."

His daughter-in-law sighed, and said: "They are probably not used to the climate in our mountains, and they don't know whether the two quilts I made are thick enough, and whether they will be cold when they sleep."

"It won't be cold, right? The quilt weighs eight catties." Old Wu said, pulling up the jacket on the quilt, so that the two sleeping children could be warmer.

The bed was too small to sleep five people, so the couple had to sit and fall asleep leaning against the wall, leaving the space for the three children.

His wife still sighed.

Old Wu said: "Shall I go to see Brother Jin after the Chinese New Year?"

"Go. I can take good care of three children at home, and brother Jin said that you can come back after working five days a week and taking two days off." His wife whispered, "It's okay for us to suffer a little bit. We can’t let the children suffer with us like this. The eldest baby and the second sister will go to junior high school in the future, and they have to go to the county town, and there will be a lot of places to spend money at that time.”

"Sure, after the fifteenth day of the new year, I'll go to City C to find Brother Jin." Old Wu sighed, "I haven't been to a big city yet, so I'm a bit confused. Besides, I have no culture and skills, Brother Jin said Arrange a job for me, but I don’t know what kind of job it is.”

"I think Brother Jin is a very reliable person, and he shouldn't lie to us. No matter what kind of job it is, it's better than now to get money every month and save it for the children to study in the future."

"Success. Go to sleep. Tomorrow morning I have to turn over the field at the back, so that the new year can be planted with corn."

Ai Baobei and Jin Yaotian went back to sleep in the house, not knowing that Lao Wu and his wife hadn't slept yet.

Early the next morning, Ai Baobei and Jin Yaotian got up, and Lao Wu had already gone up the mountain to dig the ground, and Lao Wu's wife was mixing pig food under the eaves, preparing to feed the pigs.

"You are up, the toothpaste and toothbrush are on the board at the door of the kitchen, come and have breakfast after brushing your teeth." Old Wu's wife greeted them warmly.

Ai Baobei rubbed the top of the little girl's hair, "Sister, do you usually get up so early?"

"It's not too early. There is no farm work during the Chinese New Year, and everyone gets up late. If it is the busy farming season, I will get up at four or five in the morning." Old Wu's daughter-in-law smiled and went to feed the pigs with a bucket of pig food.

When Ai Baobei and Jin Yaotian came back after washing, she had already brought out the porridge, the pancakes she fried, and the sauerkraut made by herself, "Come and have breakfast."

"Thank you, big sister." Ai Baobei pulled Jin Yaotian to sit at the table and asked, "Big sister, where is old Angkor?"

"He has gone up the mountain to farm, don't worry about him, you eat." He said, moving the bread in front of them.

Seeing that they were not as timid as yesterday, the little girl asked softly, "Sister, are you leaving today?"

"Yes." Ai Baobei tore a side of the cake for her, "My sister will come to see you later, okay?"

The little girl lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled, neither saying yes nor bad.

Old Wu's daughter-in-law smiled a little embarrassedly, "The children are ignorant and talk nonsense, don't mind. There is nothing else in our mountain, but the air is good. You can stay for a few more days if you like."

"Sister, we appreciate your kindness, but we still have something to do when we go back. Next time we come, we must stay for half a month before leaving." Ai Baobei laughed.
