Sweet love in military marriage: an egg in exchange for a rough husband

Chapter 248 Of course

Su Ping saw that Su Tai looked a bit exhausted, so he stepped forward and took the bag.

"Second brother, what are you carrying here? Why is it so heavy?" Su Ping was also surprised.

"Brick!" Su An got out of the car, scratched his head, and smiled innocently.

"Why did you come all the way here to bring bricks?" Wang Ye came in front of Su An without knowing when, and looked him up and down as if he was looking at something strange.

"These bricks are left over from the previous house renovation, and they have been well preserved. I thought that after I move into my younger sister's yard in Beijing, I might want to build something," Su An said. "We are unfamiliar with Beijing, and we don't know where to buy bricks. So I just thought of taking them with me, so that if they are useful, I don't have to buy them again."

"Aren't you tired?" Wang Ye shook his head, not understanding Su An's behavior.

"Why should I be tired?" Su An didn't think it was a big deal. "The truck has already arrived at our door. I can just carry it onto the truck. It's not tiring at all!"

"Okay, this is all thanks to the second son, who thought about it a little more. Otherwise, do you think it would be so easy to find bricks during the New Year!" Mother Su walked forward and opened the bag, looking at the neatly stacked bricks inside, "Go and get some water. When we cook, we can put the bricks underneath. This way, when the rice is cooked, the bricks will also be hot!"

"Okay, Mom!" Su Ping and the others agreed, and then patted Su An on the shoulder, "Well done!"

When they came back from the village with water, the hot mutton soup in the pot was already heated and bubbling.

Li Yue served the bowl and placed it on the small table, telling them to drink it quickly to warm up their bodies.

Han Sen learned from Su's mother that the drivers were taken into consideration when the mutton soup was made. He pulled Wang Dali over and pointed at the mutton soup on the table. "Come and have some too."

Wang Dali thanked him on behalf of the driver, but rejected Han Sen's kindness.

Mutton is so precious that it is difficult to buy on the black market. The Su family was so hospitable that they had to take the bowl and start drinking!

Besides, there are so many members of the Su family. If they drink, the Su family will have to drink less.

"I've prepared one for each of you!" Su Ping picked up a bowl of mutton soup and handed it to Wang Dali. "We have one for everyone, don't worry!"

Wang Dali saw that there was indeed a lot of wine left in the pot, and only a few members of the Su family had not yet drunk it. Only then did he realize that the Su family were not being polite, but really wanted them to drink it!

After expressing his feelings for a while, he took the bowl and called on other drivers to come forward and drink. Everyone thanked the Su family with a smile on their faces.

They came to the side with their bowls, munching on cold, hard steamed buns with steaming mutton soup, their hearts feeling as warm as their stomachs.

"Let's drive carefully from now on. When we encounter potholes, drive steadily so as not to bump the people in the car." Wang Dali instructed the drivers.

"Don't worry, we will try our best to travel according to the time, and it's best to rest in the county town at night." The drivers replied.

After drinking the mutton soup, the Su family members ate the hand-rolled noodles prepared early in the morning under the arrangement of Li Yue and her three sisters-in-law.

After dinner, Li Yue and her friends boiled a large pot of brown sugar ginger tea, poured it into some empty thermos bottles, and saved it for drinking on the way.

After Li Yue and the others finished washing the dishes, Su Ping and the three brothers arranged to send the cooking pots, bowls, tables and chairs back to the car.

Then she took the old cloth that Li Yue found and wrapped the hot bricks. She burned 12 bricks in total, put 3 bricks in each car, and gave the remaining 3 bricks to the drivers, asking them not to throw them away after use, and to take them out and continue to heat them up when they cooked, so as to reuse them.

Han Sen considered that there were only two of them, so with Su Yunyun's tacit consent, he took out a brick and gave it to Su's parents. "Dad, Mom, you are old, don't disturb me. Put this brick next to you two, it will be warmer."

Just as Su's father and mother were about to refuse, they heard the drivers say they were ready to set off, so they took the car and started using it. They felt very touched by Han Sen's filial piety.

It was because the bricks were burned that the hot temperature lasted for a long time, so the Su family did not feel too cold after the sun set.

As soon as it got dark, the drivers arrived at the county guesthouse where they planned to stay on time and guided the Su family to check in.

After everything was done, the Su family went to a nearby state-owned restaurant to eat some noodles and dumplings, which warmed their bodies and filled their stomachs quickly. After eating, they returned to the guesthouse to go to bed early.

But when they returned to the guesthouse, they saw a truck parked nearby with no shelter around it, which made the Su family worry about the safety of their luggage.

Su's father and mother were very worried and suggested sleeping in the car so that they could keep an eye on the luggage and it would not be lost.

Su Yunyun walked up to them and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. Just put the luggage in the car. No one should steal it."

"Nonsense, a poor family is worth a fortune!" Mother Su disagreed with Su Yunyun's words, "Besides, we still have a lot of food in our luggage. This is hard currency, and we need it wherever we go."

"But it's so cold, it's not realistic for people to come here to steal things instead of staying at home to sleep." Su Yunyun wanted to stop her mother's idea.

"You don't have to persuade me." Su's mother was very determined. Together with Su's father, she asked Su Ping to help them get on the truck. "It's better to be safe than sorry. We won't have any tears to cry when the time comes!"

Su Yunyun was anxious. She looked around and saw the doorman of the guesthouse. She walked over hurriedly and asked, "Uncle, are we safe tonight?"

The uncle had just heard what Su's mother said. Before he could explain himself, he heard Su Yunyun's question and immediately glared at her. "What are you talking about! Not only do we not pick up things on the road, but we also don't lock our doors at night. Who dares to come and steal things?! The people's spit can drown him!"

Seeing the uncle's righteous words and solemn promises, Su Yunyun continued to persuade Su's father and mother to go back to the guesthouse to have a good rest, but Su's mother, who was heartbroken about the things, firmly disagreed.

Su Yunyun had no choice but to continue looking for the guard, "Uncle, please help me!"

The guard immediately responded enthusiastically, "Little comrade, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"

"My parents are old, and they are very thrifty with their stuff. They are worried that if they lose something, they will be heartbroken, so they dare not go back to the guesthouse to rest," Su Yunyun pointed at Su's father and mother and said, "So can you help look after it at night? Of course, we will pay for it. Three cars cost a total of 2 yuan. Do you think it's okay?"

The guard wanted to agree to Su Yunyun's request, but then he heard that there was money to be paid, "Why not? Of course!"
