Chapter 291 Two more big packages arrived
In August, China's first satellite was launched into space. The mission of Huo Haocheng and his independent group this time was to escort and return it.
After Huo Haocheng left, Wang Qun went to sleep with Ruanruan at night, for fear that she would wake up in the middle of the night and be unable to move.
"Ruanruan is awake, come and drink this cup of milk powder."
It was already past 5pm, so after lunch, Ruanruan went to sleep. She woke up once and drank some water. She couldn't sleep comfortably on the bed, so she just lay down on the rocking chair and fell asleep. Maybe the amplitude of the rocking chair fit her stomach after sitting down, so she slept very comfortably this time.
Seeing that she woke up, her grandmother immediately made her a cup of milk powder to ensure nutrition for both the adult and the child.
"Thank you, grandma." He took the cup handed to him by his grandma in a daze and drank it in big gulps.
When the old lady saw that she had drunk it, she took the empty cup and went to the kitchen to wash it.
"Grandma, you guys can come and drink it too. You don't have to save any for me." He said softly towards his grandma's back.
Grandma is almost 70 years old. At this age, all old ladies are taken care of by their sons and grandchildren at home. But her grandmother came from afar to take care of her. Ruanruan really felt bad about it. So, when Huo Haocheng was around, she often went to the supermarket to buy some nutritional supplements suitable for them.
"You don't have to worry about us. We know that we have been taking the nutritional supplements that Haocheng bought before. Grandma knows your wishes, so don't worry, we won't treat ourselves badly." The old lady thought very clearly that her grandchildren were capable and they couldn't discredit them. If they lost weight here, or made outsiders think that they didn't eat well or dress well, they would definitely make up stories about them.
Before, the old ladies in the compound would ask what Ruanruan had given them to eat. They said that before they came, Ruanruan was a spendthrift who would buy meat every other day. She must not know how to save money and her hands were full. They also asked them if Ruanruan only gave them some pickles. They also asked, Wang Qun, why did she go to pick mushrooms with Teacher Shen every day after she came? Was she forced to go by Teacher Shen? They also said that Teacher Shen didn't care about their relationship at all. They also said that since they came, they haven't seen Ruanruan buy meat. Does she dislike them?
Can they tolerate this blatant provocation?
Because of this, the old lady and Wang Qun had a quarrel with those people. If Ruanruan had not arrived in time, they might have fought again.
Later, the old lady and Wang Qun also learned to be smart. They didn't want to be low-key here. In addition, Ruanruan was pregnant with twins and needed more nutrition. They went to the supermarket to buy meat early in the morning. They didn't hide it and carried it in their hands. When someone asked them if they had eaten meat again, they said that their granddaughter was pregnant with twins and the doctor said that she needed nutrition.
It was not convenient for Huo Haocheng to go and talk to the female comrades in the compound, so he could only take Ruan Shaoke and Ruan Shaolin to find their husbands and sons to learn from them and give them some pointers on their close combat abilities.
This also made them hear a lot of quarrels at home when they took a walk at night. Ruanruan said that they deserved it. They thought that she could be bullied just because she was pregnant. They really didn't learn their lesson.
After hearing grandma say that they had eaten, Ruanruan looked at the nutritional supplements she had placed on the cabinet before, and felt relieved when she confirmed that they were being digested.
After chatting with grandma for a while, I saw Wang Qun coming in with vegetables on his back, followed by two soldiers, each carrying a large package.
"Comrade, just put it here. Sorry to bother you." Wang Qun asked the soldiers to put the package under the eaves, and he also put the backpack aside.
"Come on, little comrade, drink some water. You must be tired. You have worked so hard to help us carry it back. If it weren't for your help, with such a big package and our Huo Haocheng not being at home, I really don't know how we would have gotten it back."
Seeing people helping to carry things, the old lady immediately went into the house to pour them some water.
Looking at the packages they sent over, the corners of her soft mouth twitched. She thought of the two large packages that Huo Haocheng carried back a few months ago. She knew without a doubt that they were definitely sent by their family.
"Thank you, grandma. We are not tired. Captain Huo and his wife usually take good care of us. Captain Huo told us about this when he left. So, now that we have changed our shifts, we will carry it back for you."
Seeing the old lady being so enthusiastic, the two men felt a little embarrassed. They took the water from the old lady's hand, drank it in one breath, and looked at Ruanruan who was sitting in a rocking chair beside them.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that you are pregnant with twins?" Xiao Li usually has a good relationship with Huo Haocheng and his wife. During this period when Ruanruan was pregnant, she did not go to the gate of the family compound. Huo Haocheng usually drove her out, and he had no chance to see Ruanruan. So now, seeing Ruanruan's big belly, he couldn't help but be curious.
"Yes, the twins, wait until they are born and grow up, let them come to play with you!" Ruanruan felt that Xiao Li was quite interesting. He was very young and looked very smart. She didn't know why he was a little silly in front of Huo Haocheng. Now that he asked, she would tease him.
"Hehe, that's great, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will take good care of them when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll trouble you then."
"Hehehe, sister-in-law, no trouble, no trouble."
Standing under the eaves and looking at Ruanruan smiling at him, Xiao Li felt that Ruanruan was so beautiful at this moment under the sunlight. No wonder Captain Huo loved his sister-in-law so much.
"Well, sister-in-law, we won't bother you anymore. Let's go back first." After coming to his senses, Xiao Li realized what he was thinking about just now! After saying something to Ruanruan and the others, he left quickly.
Another soldier who was talking to grandma and the others nearby saw that he ran away without even calling him. He said something to them with a confused look on his face and followed him.
When he came out, he was still calling Xiao Li's name from behind, but Xiao Li was blaming himself at that time and didn't hear anyone calling him at all.
After they left, Wang Qun went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for today. Grandma came out with a pair of scissors and started unpacking the package.
The old lady moved swiftly, starting from the edge of the box. With one snip of the scissors, a hole was created on the top. Then she tore it hard and the top of the box came off.
Ruanruan had seen this kind of unpacking action on Huo Haocheng before. At that time, she was still wondering where he learned this method of unpacking from. Now it seems that Huo Haocheng inherited it from his grandmother!
"Ruanruan, this package should be sent by your grandparents. They are so thoughtful. Look, these soft fabrics are obviously used to make clothes for children. There is also a lot of milk powder and two milk bottles in it. These are good. The problem of feeding the children has been solved."
As grandma spoke, she took out the things in the box one by one and showed them to Ruanruan. After she had looked at them, she took them into the house, put all the child's things together, and put the things for Ruanruan in her room.
The fabric was prepared by her second aunt and was sent over together with the book that Ruan Chuanji gave to Ruanruan, the maternity clothes that Ruan's mother Gu Wenzhen prepared for Ruanruan, the small clothes that her grandparents bought for the children, and letters from home to her.
After grandma packed up her things, she opened another package in the same way. This one was sent by the Huo family. Although Ruanruan had always emphasized in daily correspondence that they had everything they needed and asked their family not to send them anything, no one listened. They only sent them things once every few months. There was no other way. Ruanruan and Huo Haocheng could only send them as many things as possible, and also gave retirement money to grandpa and mom every month.
They couldn't fulfill their filial piety in front of the old man, so they could only use this method. Fortunately, the Huo family has many brothers, and the old man gave birth to three sons, and each of the three sons gave birth to two sons. So, even if Huo Haocheng, Huo Haoshen, and Huo Haoli are all in Yuncheng now, there are still three of them at home, which is why Huo Haocheng and Ruanruan are more relieved.
