Chapter 274 Local Specialties
Unlike in the city where there are courier services and postmen deliver directly to your door.
In the countryside, it's usually the villagers from the commune who see it and help bring it back.
But it's usually letters or something like that that people don't pay much attention to.
If it's a package, I'll let you know when I get back, and then I'll go to the post office to pick it up myself.
That day, Lu Yuanqing sat in front of the stove, tending the fire, while Cheng Jun was busy with other tasks on the stove.
Cheng Jun's skills are not bad; he's definitely better than Lu Yuanqing.
"I don't know who sent the package, Yuanbo doesn't even want to pick it up," Cheng Jun said with a smile.
Since Xie Qianyu returned to the village to recuperate after childbirth, Lu Yuanbo has personally taken care of many things.
At this moment, he was unwilling to leave his wife and daughter.
Lu Yuanqing took the fire tongs, stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove, and then said, "Who else could it be? I guess it's Xiao Huan and Xiao Xi."
They knew Cheng Xia and Xie Qianyu's due dates, so naturally they would send them a lot of things back.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Jun remarked with emotion, "What a wonderful friendship."
Lu Yuanqing said, "We grew up together, so our feelings for each other are naturally deep."
"By the way, my aunt said that you shouldn't put too much salt in old hens, because it's supposedly bad for babies."
Newborn babies should not ingest salt.
Lu Yuanqing wanted to say that the old hen soup was for pregnant women to nourish their bodies, not for the baby.
But after thinking about it, he shut up.
Even if Zhang Panlan and the others were not happy with what was said, Xie Qianyu and the others themselves would feel uncomfortable.
This is what a mother is like; she can endure anything for her child.
Lu Yuanqing declined to comment on this matter.
Cheng Jun laughed and said, "I know that. Don't worry, it's just one or two."
Clearly, he is a person who has received good treatment.
Lu Yuanqing twitched the corner of his mouth but said nothing.
"By the way, the autumn harvest is coming soon. After the harvest, I plan to build my house. I'll have to trouble the brigade leader for help then." Cheng Jun thought that he had lived in the house for so long, it was time to build his own house. He couldn't keep dragging Lu Yuanqing's family down.
Although this statement wasn't entirely firm.
To be honest, this was the first time Cheng Jun had ever seen such a prosperous rural area; it was completely different from what he had imagined.
Lu Yuanqing nodded indifferently, "Don't worry, there won't be much work in the fields after the autumn harvest, and building houses will be quick. The villagers are all sincere; they'll come to help as soon as you give them a heads-up."
Of course, this help is reciprocal.
"Okay!" Cheng Jun nodded.
Just as the two were talking about building a house, Lu Yuanbo came back carrying a large package.
"Brother, I brought the things back. I wonder what Xiaoxi and the others sent this time. It's so heavy. I told them we have everything we need at home, but they still won't listen."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanqing and Cheng Jun exchanged a glance and tacitly went into the main room.
"What's wrong? What did you send? Shout it out here." Lu Yuanqing said as he walked.
Lu Yuanbo stepped aside, and an enormous package came into Lu Yuanqing's view.
"You really sent a lot!" Cheng Jun said with a smile.
Lu Yuanbo couldn't wait to open the package, while Lu Yuanqing picked up the letter that had been sent back with it and started reading it.
"Xiaoxi said that Xiaoye went to Shanghai on a business trip a few days ago and bought a lot of Shanghai specialties for her."
Is it all food?
Lu Yuanbo's eyes lit up as he quickened his pace of unpacking the package.
A lot of thin-shelled walnuts rolled out of it, along with various fried fruits, cut cakes, crispy candies, beef jerky, and the like, all wrapped in kraft paper.
They even have big red dates and raisins.
There are even two cans of Le Koufu.
Wow, that's a lot!
The three of them were overjoyed to have found so many good things.
"These are all nutritious and good things, Fourth Brother, divide them out, I'll get a portion for my Xiao Dong too," Lu Yuanqing said excitedly.
Lu Mingxi and Lu Yuanhuan are both reliable people. They even specified in the letters who they were for, and they didn't forget to send letters to Lu Guobin's family as well.
“Okay, no problem,” Lu Yuanbo said loudly.
These good things should be given to Xie Qianyu to help her recover; childbirth really took a lot of hardship for her.
……
Lu Yuanqing carried a package and a jar of freshly cooked old hen soup to Cheng He's house.
"Third Uncle, you've come!"
Lu Mingdong, who was hanging diapers to dry, spotted them and greeted them while continuing his work.
Lu Yuanqing blinked several times as he watched. Every time he saw such a powerful scene, he was shocked.
It's possible that Cheng Xia is three years older than Lu Mingdong, or that Cheng Xia was more precocious from a young age.
Therefore, after the two got married, Cheng Xia would be more lenient with Lu Mingdong whenever Lu Yuanqing saw the two of them.
Lu Yuanbo also took care of cooking at home.
But Lu Mingdong is a well-known terrible cook!
Lu Yuanqing felt that he should at least take on some other household chores.
But that's not how things are.
Cheng He took on the vast majority of the housework, and even if he didn't do it, Cheng Xia would.
Lu Mingdong spends his days either at work or at his job.
The treatment she received at home was exactly the same as Lu Yuanqing's.
But Lu Yuanqing uses money to solve his family problems!
After witnessing Lu Mingdong's treatment in the Cheng family several times, Lu Yuanqing began to wonder when being a live-in son-in-law had become so easy.
Cheng He felt that letting Lu Mingdong come to his door was a favor to him, and Cheng Xia seemed to think so too.
The two of them spoiled Lu Mingdong rotten.
Therefore, Lu Yuanqing had guessed several times that Lu Mingdong would eventually be spoiled and become lawless.
But at least on the day Cheng Xia gave birth, Lu Yuanqing felt Lu Mingdong's feelings for Cheng Xia, which relieved him.
Now, seeing that Lu Mingdong has taken on the responsibility of caring for Cheng Xia and the baby after returning home, Lu Yuanqing felt quite conflicted.
Forget it, I'll never doubt our feelings for each other again.
"Yes, this is the old hen soup that your uncle just made. Take it to Xiaxia and let her drink it while it's hot. Also, this package was sent back from the city by Xiaoxi and the others. They said that Xiaoye went to Shanghai on a business trip and bought a lot of local specialties there. I brought it to you."
That's right, the chicken soup was made by Cheng Jun, and the old hen was prepared by Lu Yuanqing.
My sister-in-law and niece-in-law are in their postpartum period, and there are no women in the family to help them, so they can't come to help either.
Therefore, from the moment the two women returned to their postpartum period, Lu Yuanqing took charge of preparing their daily postpartum meals.
Old hen, pig's trotters, crucian carp soup, and all sorts of nourishing foods—Lu Yuanqing was not stingy at all.
Lu Mingdong took the things and said, "Third Uncle, come in and sit down. Let me go in and see if the baby is awake. If he is, I'll bring him out for you to see."
Lu Yuanqing was not comfortable entering his nephew's wife's room, so Lu Mingdong would always bring the child to the main room for him to see.
Lu Yuanqing glanced at him indifferently.
This is Lu Mingdong's second action that is unexpected from his public persona.
This kid really loves showing off his child to people now.
And it's the kind of subtle, cold-faced boasting that you can't see.
