Han Qiao rubbed her temples as she looked at the five bags.
“These are all new fabrics for your parents, brother, sister-in-law, and children. This bag is for you and the child. Then, you can help me make however many sets of clothes you’d like.”
“These two bags are rags!”
Heng Yi looked like he was asking for credit.
Han Qiao took a deep breath.
These sacks were at least three to four hundred catties. He had picked them from Ninghe Town to Xishan Village.
For a moment, Han Qiao felt very upset, but her heart ached even more.
…..
She also understood that Heng Yi was really working hard.
“Heng Yi, don’t do this next time. You can hire an ox cart if it’s so heavy. Don’t buy so much cloth. We don’t need that much.”
“You’re still young and can ignore it, but it’s still harmful to your body to put such heavy pressure on your shoulders.”
Heng Yi chuckled. “Okay, I’ll remember.”
Han Qiao boiled some water for Heng Yi to wash, then cooked five poached eggs for him.
Han Qiao stood up to wash the dishes as she watched him finish eating.
“You should sleep early.”
Heng Yi responded and grabbed Han Qiao’s hand.

Han Qiao did not object to premarital sex.
But she knew that if she really slept with Heng Yi, she would have to take responsibility.
She looked at Heng Yi.
Heng Yi’s hands were hot and trembling under the oil lamp.
Han Qiao put her other hand on Heng Yi’s shoulder.
She approached him and called out, “Heng Yi.”
“Yes…”
Heng Yi’s body stiffened.
He did not dare to move.
“Do you want to sleep in my room?”
Heng Yi’s brain exploded.
Do you want to?
Heng Yi definitely wanted to.
However, he did not dare to.
”1, I…”
“Then I’ll sleep in your room.”
In the end, Han Qiao didn’t sleep in Heng Yi’s room. She just pressed Heng Yi onto the bed and kissed him.
An experienced veteran and a shy newbie.
Han Qiao bullied Heng Yi for a while before kissing his face. “Go to sleep.”
Heng Yi’s blood was boiling. How could he sleep?
He hugged Han Qiao tightly.
“Sister Ah Qiao, can you stay?”

Han Qiao was sweating all over.
The room was also stuffy.
“I’ll accompany you for a while longer. Before we get married, I won’t let you stay in my room for the night!”
“Today is the first and last time. It won’t be like this in the future.”
She didn’t mind, but she still had three children.
In the end, Han Qiao went back to her room to sleep.
She had been busy all day and was really tired. She fell asleep very quickly.
Hengyi was also tired.
He also felt very happy and blissful.
After he fell asleep, he still had a smile on his lips.
The rooster crowed. Sun Xiu and Sun Yi woke up at dawn.
Looking at the big bags of things in the hall, the two sisters were stunned when they opened them and saw that they were cloth and rags.
“Where did this come from?”
Sun Yi frowned. It’s most likely from Fifth Uncle Heng.”
Sun Xiu would be lying if she said he wasn’t surprised.
It would be a lie to say that it was not uncomfortable.
Their biological father either beat them or ignored them. He never cared about their lives.
Now, a person who was about to become their stepfather had used his actions to show that he would treat them well. It should be said that he would treat their mother well and love them.
The two sisters were not curious children. On the contrary, they were more sensible and obedient than many children of the same age. They also understood some things better.
After packing up the sacks, the two sisters planned to go to the kitchen to make breakfast. When they reached the kitchen, they found that the water tank was full.

The two sisters looked at each other.
Hearing a sound from the woodshed, the two sisters immediately went to take a look.
Heng Yi put the firewood in a corner.
At this time…
“Fifth Uncle Heng?” Sun Xiu called out softly.
Heng Yi looked at the sisters nervously. “Did I wake you up?”
“No!
II
“No!
II
The two sisters answered in unison.
“That’s good!” Heng Yi turned around and continued to pile up the firewood he had brought back. It would be useful for cooking and warming up in winter.
The two sisters couldn’t stay any longer, so they turned around and returned to the kitchen.
“Sis?” Sun Yi called out softly.
“He will treat Mother well. That is enough.”
They wouldn’t stay by Mother’s side forever, and Mother wouldn’t let them stay by Mother’s side forever.
“Fifth Uncle Heng is a good man!” Sun Xiu calmly added.
…..
Sun Yi was puzzled.
“Are you hiding something from me?”
Sun Xiu told Sun Yi about the money that she had lost and the money that Heng Yi had found and returned to her.
Sun Yi exhaled. “Fifth Uncle Heng probably doesn’t care about our ten wen!”
“No, he never opened it at all. I marked it!”

The two sisters muttered.
Then they prepared breakfast.
There was a lot of food at home. These days, Han Qiao had also taught them how to eat and drink, and then worked hard to earn money.
It was not a good thing to be thrifty and mistreat oneself. The harm caused by poor food and clothing could not be cured by money or medicinal herbs.
“Cook some pumpkin porridge and two scallion pancakes.”
There was rice and flour at home.
The leftovers from yesterday’s lunch were all eaten up last night.
Sun Yi found pork oil in the jar and eggs in the basket.
“Fried eggs?” Sun Yi asked.

“How about each of you boil an egg? Cook one for Fifth Uncle Heng!” Sun Yi suggested.
She had long wanted to eat eggs.
When she was living in town, she missed him. She also missed him at her grandparents ‘house.
Sun Xiu counted. “Why don’t we cook two each?”
She also wanted to be extravagant.
“Alright, just cook two. I don’t think Mother will blame us.”
The two sisters discussed cooking ten eggs.
One of them was washing the pot, making porridge, peeling the pumpkin, and the other was preparing to make onion pancakes with meat flour.
Han Qiao had a deep sleep. When she woke up, Sun Ke was lying on the bed and smiling at her. “Mother!”
Han Qiao reached out and rubbed her head. “You’re so early.”
“Yes, big sister and second sister made breakfast. Fifth Uncle Heng brought firewood back. Mother, get up and eat.”
Han Qiao heard this.
Stunned for a moment, she wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.
The children had already woken up, but as an adult, she was still sleeping.
She quickly got up and put on her clothes.
She changed into her old clothes, combed her hair, opened the window, and opened the door for fresh air. When she reached the kitchen, Sun Xiu and Sun Yi eagerly fetched water and prepared mouthwash for Han Qiao.
Then, Sun Yi took the opportunity when Han Qiao was rinsing her mouth to whisper, “mom, we had pumpkin seeds for breakfast. We also made scallion pancakes and boiled eggs.”
She carefully sized up Han Qiao’s expression.
Seeing Han Qiao nod her head without getting angry or reprimanding her, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Han Qiao spat out mouthwash. “We’ll prepare some salted vegetables tomorrow. Prepare some kimchi too.”
“Go and call your Fifth Uncle Heng for dinner.”
Sun Yi immediately went to the woodshed to call for him.
Heng Yi was sweating profusely. When he saw Han Qiao, he looked straight at her, then turned his head away shyly.

That little girl’s appearance made Han Qiao feel like a big jerk.
She took a new towel and gave it to Heng Yi. “Wash your face and eat breakfast.”
“Okay!”
Heng Yi hurriedly agreed.
He happily took the towel and went to wash his face.
He would occasionally look at Han Qiao, who was wiping the table. Her eyes and brows were gentle, and that filled his heart with joy and happiness..
