While Zhou's mother was frying the fish, Zhou Mingmin prepared lunch with a coal stove. In order to save trouble, Zhou Mingmin directly cooked noodles and ate it. Everyone fryed an egg, cut a piece of pickled bacon, and washed it with another cabbage. They kept the stems for stir-frying, and put the leaves in the noodle soup to cook noodles.

After eating the noodles, Zhou's mother and Zhou Mingmin packed up their dishes and continued to stay in the kitchen to fry fish balls. A small iron pot was placed on the coal stove to cook fish balls.

Except for Lin Qingxi, everyone in the family was very busy. The children were busy going out to play with their friends, and the adults were busy cleaning and preparing New Year's things.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. After the fish was divided, it snowed again for two days. It was not until the day before yesterday that the sun finally came out again. Zhou's mother decided to go to Qinghe City today to buy candy and biscuits for the New Year, and then buy some cotton to make quilts for the three kids in Lin Qingxi's belly.

Early in the 21st morning on the 1st day of the 12th lunar month, when it was dawn, Zhou's mother pushed open the door of the Lin family and walked in. She went directly to the kitchen to cook a pot of porridge, then stir-fry a stack of pickles, and steamed a basket of buns and eggs.

When the outside was completely bright, the others got up one after another. After washing, everyone came to the main hall for breakfast. Because everyone was going to Qinghe City to buy New Year's goods, Zhou Guilin also went to the brigade to borrow a ox cart, so he finished his breakfast early. Now he had already gone to the cowshed to drive the ox cart.

"Yizheng, Yirong, after your Grandpa Zhou drove the ox cart over later, you remember to take those two bags of things into the cart. The basket is for your uncle and Zhang family. When you arrive in the city, you brothers will take it over," Lin Qingxi put down the bowls and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and slowly moved off the kang and put on cotton shoes.

"I understand, sister-in-law, I remember it all," Lin Yizheng said without raising his head.

After everyone finished eating, Zhou's mother and Zhou Mingmin took the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen. It was too late, so they could only put them there and wait until they came back before washing. Zhou's father had already led the ox cart over and parked it at the door.

"Okay, let's go!" Standing at the gate, Zhou's mother shouted at Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong, who were still tidying up things in the room, immediately walked out. They just remembered the letter they wrote to their parents and forgot to bring them, so they went back to the room to get the letter.

As for the New Year goods that Lin Qingxi sorted out and sent to the imperial capital, the brothers had already taken the ox cart onto the ox cart. Lin Qingxi got off the ox cart under everyone's wife, took a thin quilt and put it on the ox cart for everyone to sit on it, and then took a military coat to wrap her up so that she would not freeze her.

"Have you sat firmly? Let's go," Zhou Guilin shouted, and the ox cart was heading towards Qinghe City without any speed. Because it was going to buy New Year's goods, the ox cart could not sit even if there were too many people. Xie Xu, Xie Yan and Xiang Yikang, the three youngest ones, were sent to Zhou Guitang's house, and the others all followed.

When they arrived in Qinghe City, it was almost 10 o'clock. Zhou's father sent everyone to the supply and marketing cooperative. When everyone got out of the car, Lin Qingxi looked at Lin Yirong and shouted: "Yirong, take Grandpa Zhou to your house. Where can you put the rice, oil and vegetables at home? Remember to say to Aunt Min, Yizheng, you and your brother will go and deliver things together! Remember to send the prepared ones for your parents."

After Lin Qingxi finished speaking, she took two pieces of Datuanjie from her bag and asked him. It also cost money to send things. The twenty yuan was the express delivery fee for them.

"I know, my sister-in-law," Seeing that Lin Qingxi had explained clearly, Zhou's father drove the ox cart and left according to Lin Yizheng's instructions. They went directly to the Lin family courtyard.

After arriving at the yard, Lin Yizheng took the key and opened the door. Zhou's father was responsible for parking. Lin Yizheng took Zhou Mingmin directly to the kitchen and told her where the things in the kitchen were placed. He and Lin Yirong went out.

After leaving the Lin family courtyard, the two brothers went to the post office first, sent the things prepared for Lin Qingping and the others, and then carried the baskets to the Zhang family.

When they arrived at the Zhang family, they found out that Zhang Man and his son, Chen Xiaocui and Anru and his son went to the imperial capital together. Because Zhang Man's grandfather was not in good health, they went back to the imperial capital to see the old man. Zhang Qingguo was the only one at home, but they went home because it was time for dinner.

"Grandpa Zhang, this is prepared by my sister-in-law. Then I will leave here. My sister-in-law is buying New Year's goods in the supply and marketing cooperative. We have to go back to carry things for her," Lin Yizheng said as she took out the things in the basket and stuffed them into the cabinet.

"Okay, you still have something to do, Grandpa Zhang won't keep you. When your Grandma Zhang comes back, I will ask you to come to your house for dinner," Zhang Qingguo said with a smile. In order to maintain Zhang Qingguo's connection, Lin Qingxi sends New Year gifts every year, and has developed a habit.

"Okay, Grandpa Zhang, then we'll leave," Lin Yizheng said, carrying Kong Luanzi and Lin Yirong to the supply and marketing cooperative, which is the supply and marketing cooperative where Zhou Guizhi works.

On the other hand, Lin Qingxi and the others waited for Lin Yizheng to leave and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative. They just happened to see Zhou Guizhi busy around the counter and pick up things and find money for the buyers. She did not disturb Zhou Guizhi, and planned to take Zhou's mother and Zhou Dajiang and his wife to stroll around first.

"Grandmad, mom, let's go and see if there is any cotton sold first. If so, buy it first. This thing is a bit difficult to buy." Although there is a lot of cotton in the space, Lin Qingxi couldn't find the opportunity to take care of me, so she had to come to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it.

"Okay, if you buy more cotton cloth, you will still make less clothes for your children," Grandma Zhou said kindly. For triplets, you have to prepare three items for everything.

"Okay, let's go and have a look first," Zhou's mother nodded slightly, walked beside Lin Qingxi and carefully protected her to prevent others from accidentally bumping into her.

While talking, the group came to the counter selling cloth and cotton. She was a sister-in-law in her early thirties, named Sister-in-law Hong, who could be regarded as Zhou Guizhi's apprentice, and Lin Qingxi also knew her.

"Sister-in-law Hong, do you still have cotton?" Lin Qingxi greeted Mr. Hong familiarly, and while talking, he looked around to see if there was anything she wanted to buy.

"There are ten kilograms of high-quality cotton, how much do you want?" Sister Hong looked up and saw that it was Lin Qingxi. When she saw her big belly, she knew that she had bought small clothes and quilts for the baby in her belly.

"I want it all. If there is white cotton, it will be twenty feet, and then twenty feet of navy blue coarse cloth," Lin Qingxi said with a smile. You can not buy other things, and there is still inventory in the space. Then find a reason to take it out of the space.

"Okay, do you want anything else?" Sister Hong looked at Zhou's mother standing next to Lin Qingxi, and joked: "Is this your mother-in-law? You're seven or eight months old!"

"No, I'm only over five months old and I'm pregnant with triplets, and I look older," Lin Qingxi shook her head, touched her belly while saying that, her face full of maternal smile.
