Chapter 328: 328 Discuss
Tan Shaoting knew what his wife was doing. To be honest, he would have a reaction upon seeing this scene, but he knew it wasn't the right time.
"Do you need my help?"
"No need, it's almost done now. There's not much left."
Fortunately, he had plenty of baby formula in his space, enough for the three children until they were weaned; otherwise, it would be worrisome.
Tan Shaoting still moved closer. His wife hadn't finished yet, and he swallowed his saliva, giving her constant kisses at last.
"Go away, the milk will spill."
Tan Shaoting reluctantly left Su Yuanyuan's side, it was really torturing.
Su Yuanyuan was also blushing, but she gathered herself and fixed her clothes.
There was a sound of talking outside then. It turned out to be Li Yun coming over to deliver chicken soup.
"Xiao Yun, I told you we have enough at home."
"Sister Yuanyuan, just taste the soup I made. Grandpa taught me. I find it really delicious."
The young girl smiled brightly.
The temperature was a bit chilly now, so Tan Shaoting quickly poured it into the small iron pot and simmered it on the iron stove.
The young girl laughed and left.
"Yuanyuan, what do you want to eat?"
"I don't know. Now I'm just focused on eating. How would I know what to eat? I feel like I've gained a lot of weight."
"I don't think you've gained any weight." Although Tan Shaoting said this, his gaze was still on his wife's chest. Indeed, she had gained weight, but only in that area. Right now, that was what he longed for the most, but his wife wouldn't let him.
The couple ate porridge that night. Su Yuanyuan really couldn't eat anything dry, but porridge was okay.
"Yuanyuan, you also have to rest for forty days after childbirth."
"Alright." Su Yuanyuan wouldn't joke about her own health.
"By the way, in a few days, it will be the kids' full month celebration. Our family will take photos, though we can't print them now, we definitely can in the future."
Tan Shaoting smiled and nodded. He was the most agreeable; he agreed to whatever his wife said.
The Zhao sisters handed over the sweet potatoes and potatoes, and also got all the money back.
The two sisters together earned just over three thousand, and after deducting all investments, each sister still got over a thousand.
Zhao Yanli hugged the money and shed tears.
Zhao Yanping's eyes were red too; it truly was not easy.
It really wasn't easy. From spring planting to autumn harvest, the sisters didn't have a moment of rest. It was honestly tiring.
"Alright, quickly put it away. When are you going to buy fertilizers? We'll need to use this money to buy fertilizers and pesticides."
"I'll ask Yuanyuan. If we can get more this year, we should. Without fertilizers, we wouldn't have made this much money."
Zhao Yanping sighed, recalling that someone had told her that Xiang Zhiqiang earned three hundred yuan this year. Without fertilizers, they would be in that situation.
"I know, I'll ask Yuanyuan.
By the way, we also need to ask First Brother and Second Brother, and we should visit my Second Sister."
"Yes, let them all put up the money, we can't afford to front it ourselves."
This time it wasn't Su Yuanyuan going, and it wasn't polite to make others front the money.
Zhao Yanli put away the money and hurriedly went to find Su Yuanyuan.
She sat on the kang bed looking at the three little ones, absolutely delighted.
She had seen four little children before, but none were as beautiful as these three.
"Su Yuanyuan, have you named the three children yet?"
"We have. The eldest is called Tan Qiyan, the second is called Tan Qihong, and the girl is called Tan Qiweng."
Zhao Yanli touched the second one's hand, "Hello, Tan Qiyan, I'm your aunt."
Su Yuanyuan burst out laughing, "Xiao Li, this is the second one, Qihong."
Zhao Yanli didn't feel embarrassed. "They look exactly the same, it's not surprising I got it wrong."
The three children did indeed look very much alike. Only the couple could accurately tell them apart.
"Yuanyuan, don't they have nicknames? Just call them this?"
"Yes, just call them this. I can't think of any nicknames."
"You really... but it's quite nice too.
Yuanyuan, have you written home yet? Have you told Aunt Chunhua?"
Everyone knew their relationship; it was as close as a mother-daughter.
"I haven't written yet. Will send it when I can go to the city."
"Haha, Aunt Chunhua must be overjoyed."
"Now, Aunt must be a grandmother too, right?"
"It's different, you don't understand. At that time, Aunt Chunhua protected you just like a mom protects her daughter."
"Yes, she was so good to me. It's just too far away."
"A bit far is good, just like your parents. If they were close, it wouldn't be enough for them."
Su Yuanyuan also thought of the Su Family situation. Last year's letter mentioned that Su Daqiang got involved with a widow from another village and was confronted by Tian Xiaohua, causing a big scene. What happened afterward was unknown.
Sometimes even if there is a letter, you might not receive it.
"Yuanyuan, when do I go buy herbicides and fertilizers?"
"You can go these days, hurry up to avoid the snow."
"Haha, how about the day after tomorrow? I'll find my First Brother and them today. I don't have that much money to front for them. By the way, how much do you need this year?"
"Xiao Li, I'm planning to leave. Leave with Tan Shaoting."
Zhao Yanli's smile froze. She was a bit flustered, "Yuanyuan, are you really leaving?"
"Yes, with three kids here, I can't do anything. Besides, we want to save face, but spend all the time traveling on the train.
Only by going with him can we stay together as a family; the most important thing is I'm afraid the kids will become distant with Tan Shaoting."
"Yuanyuan, if you leave, what will I do?"
"You are the strong and optimistic Zhao Yanli, you'll definitely manage."
Zhao Yanli was really unsure in her heart, but she knew Yuanyuan was right. Three same-aged children really needed someone to care for them. Staying at the farm really wasn't meaningful anymore.
"Xiao Li, I believe you can do it. Later, the family will rely on you to get fertilizers and stuff.
This time when you go over, you just smooth out the path first, it will be more convenient afterward."
Zhao Yanli sighed, "Yes, I know. Although I truly can't bear you leaving, I also know living together as a family is best for you all. Our three treasures can still see their dad often."
"Alright, you can visit me later. When winter is idle, come find me."
"Okay, wait for me, I'll definitely visit you."
Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile. Zhao Yanli really had such a personality.
Then she instructed to contact Zhou Yongbing and the workshop manager when going to the fertilizer plant. At the pesticide factory, contact Peng Haishan. They'll assist her when the time comes.
"Got it, I know Zhou Yongbing. As for the people at the pesticide factory, I'll also find them. I'll definitely find a way to get them back this year. Otherwise, I'd have no idle time even when weeding."
