Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

Thirteen and fourteen drove a carriage, which was full of dolls, as well as New Year's gifts for Master Zhang, Master Wei, Young Master Tong, and Sister Zhen. Naturally, all of them were their own produce. Each household even prepared two large baskets of vegetables. After returning to Taocheng, they would also add New Year's cakes and rice dumplings made by Madam Gao and the others.

Tang Ershi and Ermao sat on the shaft of another carriage, driving it.

The family of Ruxiu, Shijie, and Cuiniang were sitting in the carriage. They hadn't been in Qinghe Town for long, but it was the first time they had been away from their grandparents for so long. They still felt that their village in Taocheng was their true home, and they were very happy to be able to go home for the New Year.

With so many people in my family now, it's natural that we need to buy New Year's goods. There's no reason to just give them away to others while we don't eat them ourselves.

Besides the produce they raised and grew themselves, a lot of it was bought and dried with the help of their second aunt, and a lot of it was also given to them by villagers.

He specifically instructed Thirteen and Fourteen to deliver the dolls to Xianshufang first upon arriving in Taocheng, and that the New Year's gifts should naturally be brought back to the manor first.

Ru Xiu and the others arrived at the village in the afternoon. The children were naturally very happy to have not seen their mother and father for several days. Ge'er and Xiao Tiantian clung to Ru Xiu and refused to get down until Wei Shi and Ying Gu served them a meal. Only then did they sit down obediently.

Ge'er sat down directly between Tang Ershi and Ruxiu.

"Mommy, the rice cakes Grandma and Auntie made are so delicious, sweeter than sugar! Try a bite!" Ge'er's chubby little hands kept stuffing rice cakes into Ruxiu's mouth. The original aroma of glutinous rice was fragrant and sticky, and it was indeed very delicious. This was the first time Ruxiu had eaten rice cakes since coming to ancient times.

"Master, have a bite too, is it sweet?" Ge'er turned around and stuffed it into Tang Ershi's mouth again.

Without a second thought, Tang Ershi took a bite, causing Ru Xiu to blush with embarrassment—it was the very bite she had just taken. Luckily, everyone was so hungry that they were busy stuffing food into their mouths that they didn't notice. Shi Jie, sitting opposite her, smiled knowingly at her mother's expression.

Tang Ershi, with Ge'er in his arms, looked over at Ruxiu and smiled awkwardly. Ruxiu glared at him and then began to devour the food. Not to mention, the rice cakes and zongzi her mother made were delicious.

"When we're working, Tian Tian and Ge'er cause quite a bit of trouble," Mrs. Wei complained from the side.

"No, no, Grandma said ours is the best." Ge'er has learned to talk back.

"No, my good girl!" Little Sweetie imitated her, her tone just like the song.

Ru Xiu wanted to send out the New Year's gifts in the car as soon as possible, since the fish and shrimp couldn't be kept for long.

Madam Gao and Madam Wei quickly distributed several more portions of zongzi and rice cakes to Shiwu and loaded them onto the cart. Since there were so many things, one cart could only carry people and the other could only carry goods.

After Thirteen and Fourteen had eaten their fill, they went to rest. Fifteen took over driving the truck for loading goods. Tang Ershi insisted on going with them, so he drove the other truck.

Tan Xiucai and Gao Shi had already taken the children to visit Master Zhang and his wife in the past few days, so they did not follow along.

Tang Ershi let Ruxiu sit on the carriage shaft as well. Since there were no acquaintances around, Ruxiu didn't put on airs and enjoyed the scenery from the front.

The New Year's gifts were first sent to Tongrentang. Of course, the young master of Tong was no longer in Taocheng; it was said that he had already returned to Shanghang County.

Manager Qian was surprised that Ru Xiu would send New Year's gifts. He was also happy to hear that Ru Xiu had bought a manor in Taocheng. Ru Xiu casually told him that the first batch of medicinal herbs would be delivered after the New Year, which made Manager Qian feel very strange. It wasn't harvest season, so how could there be goods? She hadn't mentioned having any last time. But thinking about it, the few kilograms last time were probably just to test the waters. Ru Xiu might have a backup plan.

Sister Zhen was also very happy to see Ru Xiu. Thirteen and Fourteen hadn't mentioned that Ru Xiu was coming.

She was going to the main store in Shanghang County after the New Year, but the manager who was going to take over her position had not yet arrived. Sister Zhen had already given instructions to the person in charge of the store, and they could come over to collect the materials after the New Year on the sixth day of the lunar new year.

Ru Xiu was naturally very happy for Sister Zhen, and they agreed to meet again in Shanghang County if they had the chance.

Unexpectedly, Ru Xiu would send her a New Year's gift, so Sister Zhen had no time to prepare a return gift in advance. However, she returned a few bolts of fabric from the shop, a set of clothes and shoes for each of the children, and a large red envelope for each child.

Mr. Wei happened to be home, and was naturally delighted to see Ruxiu. He insisted on inviting them in for a couple of cups of tea.

"I was wondering if Ruxiu had forgotten about me. Why haven't my chickens, fish, and shrimp arrived yet? If they had arrived two more days later, I might have just gone to Master Zhang's place and robbed them."

Grandpa Wei was all smiles, looking at the two of them with great satisfaction.

"How could we possibly forget you, Master Wei? We'll send you plenty, enough for the New Year. I'll have Baixianglou send you more after the New Year."

The master wanted to invite Ruxiu and Tang Ershi to stay for dinner, but Tang Ershi quickly bowed and said he still had a few more families to deliver to. However, he insisted that they bring their children over after the New Year to introduce the place to their families. Ruxiu and Tang Ershi couldn't refuse, so they naturally agreed.

When only one gift remained, Tang Ershi and Shiwu switched cars, with Shiwu driving the empty car back first.

No one knows what Tan Xiucai and his wife whispered to the old lady, but as soon as the old lady saw Tang Ershi, she smiled and asked him a lot of questions, and kept saying, "Good, he is a perfect match for our Ruxiu. You can't bully our Ruxiu anymore."

This made Ruxiu blush deeply.

Tang Ershi nodded respectfully without batting an eye, offering no explanation.

However, some of what was said left Ruxiu completely confused. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the old lady was possessed. In the end, she figured that her father and mother must have been talking nonsense in front of the old lady, trying to arrange some kind of forced marriage.

As usual, Ruxiu took the old lady's pulse and left her two pots of medicine. She told her that after the New Year, she could just follow the prescription and eat the food. She didn't need to drink the medicine anymore. The old lady knew that all medicines have some toxicity, so she naturally agreed.

Master Zhang kept urging Ruxiu and Tang Ershi to eat here, but knowing everyone was busy before the holiday, and seeing that it was getting late, Ruxiu and Tang Ershi said goodbye and went home, as they were tired from traveling all day.
