Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

This time, however, they were packed in burlap sacks and neatly stacked.

Old Shen's eyes widened instantly, stunned in disbelief, then burst into wild joy: "Little Su, how come there are so many corn seeds again?"

He ran over, examined the corn seeds on the ground closely, and said, "We searched several times yesterday, and we didn't miss a single one. How did these extra seeds appear?"

Su Wanqing smiled and said, "This was left for me by my friend. She originally wanted me to plant some. But I'm pregnant and about to give birth, so I don't have the energy. In that case, I'll give it to you, Elder Shen, so you can take it back and help the villagers there increase their yield."

When she left, the villagers brought her chickens and all sorts of other things, almost filling the carriage to the brim.

She has plenty of these things in her space now, just some corn seeds. Giving some away wouldn't hurt, but for the other side, having more seeds means they can plant thousands of kilograms of corn earlier, which is of great significance.

Upon hearing this, Old Shen was so excited that his hands trembled, and he tightly grasped Su Wanqing's hand:

"Xiao Su, what you said... On behalf of the people of Xinjiang, thank you! Don't worry, I will personally escort these seeds back; not a single one will be wasted!"

His eyes were red and his voice was choked with emotion.

Su Wanqing waved her hand, indicating it was nothing to mention, but in her heart she was thinking: Old Shen, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back anytime soon! There will be new things to take out soon!

However, she didn't say much.

It wasn't that she was deliberately trying to keep Elder Shen, but since the space would give out rewards every now and then, she had to find a reason to take them out, right?

As soon as it was taken out, Old Shen's eyes were glued to it, and he couldn't look away.

Old Shen added, "By the way, Xiao Su, there's something I was planning to tell you after the things arrived, but since that's the case, I'll tell you in advance. They were all very grateful to you after hearing that you contributed the corn seeds. Comrade Li Aiguo organized the villagers there to send you some local specialties, and since you're about to give birth, they also prepared some baby supplies for you. It's all just a token of their appreciation, so please don't refuse."

Su Wanqing raised an eyebrow in surprise, then smiled and nodded: "Okay, please thank everyone for me."

But in his heart he was thinking: If I can get along with these people, I'll have to think of them again if anything good happens in the future.

Su Wanqing called Xiao Wang to help her move the things before getting into the car.

"Tired? Xiao Wang, come on, have some braised eggs, salt-baked eggs, and meatballs. Try these, they're all homemade."

"Hey, it's just moving some things, how tiring is it? Other comrades run 20 kilometers a day. You leave it, I'll do it myself."

While he was talking, Xiao Wang's mouth was unknowingly stuffed with all sorts of food.

Su Wanqing was so enthusiastic; he felt both happy and a little bittersweet. He thought to himself, "Sigh, if only I could follow Comrade Su from now on."

Following the commander is no better than following Comrade Su; there's so much food to eat every day.

As soon as Su Wanqing opened the door, Ding Xiaomei, as if guided by radar, rushed over to greet her, handing her slippers and helping her with her things. These slippers were imported goods that Su Wanqing had bought from abroad; they weren't even available in China yet.

She was the only one in the family who had to change into slippers when she entered the house. Although her uncle Ding and Ding Xiaomei didn't understand, they respected her decision.

Dinner was egg noodle soup and braised pork ribs, made by Ding Xiaomei.

Su Wanqing felt that Ding Xiaomei had cooked too little food, so she took out two more boxes of minced garlic and spicy crayfish from her basket.

The two enjoyed a delicious meal.

While eating, Ding Xiaomei kept saying, "Wanqing, there are less than two weeks left until the New Year. I need to start making preparations."

On the 23rd, sticky candy is served; on the 24th, the house is swept; on the 25th, tofu is ground; on the 26th, pork is stewed; on the 27th, a rooster is slaughtered; on the 28th, dough is prepared; on the 29th, steamed buns are made; on New Year's Eve, everyone stays up all night; and on New Year's Day, everyone twists and turns. If you have no objections, I'll follow our local customs.

Su Wanqing found it quite interesting after hearing this; she hadn't expected that the New Year celebrations here would have daily customs starting from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.

She shook her head and said, "Anything is fine with me, cousin, you decide. I'll buy a lot of things back in a couple of days. I heard they have refrigerators now, I'll see if we can buy one. And a color TV, there's a TV at our hospital, but it's black and white. I'll see where we can find a color TV, and we can buy one so we can all watch it together during the New Year."

Ding Xiaomei became interested: "That's great! You don't know, we have a black and white TV where we live, and everyone rushes to watch it on time, it's so crowded." Although she said that, she was also very envious.

When she was a child, her family was wealthy and she could get whatever she wanted. Later... let's not talk about it. It's already a blessing that she has kept what she has now.

Su Wanqing had no electricity when she was in Xinjiang; she used kerosene lamps. Electricity was only brought to the military family compound after she came here, which made it very difficult for her, a modern person, to get used to at first.

"However, if you want to buy a TV and a refrigerator, you'll probably have to install a special line. These days, there are only a few hundred color TVs in the whole country, so they're very scarce."

Su Wanqing was thinking that she could get one to watch the Spring Festival Gala, or she could return the TV tenfold and then process it for free, and then return another tenfold, and then sell some to others as a favor.

There's no need to send it as a gift. These days, being able to find a way to buy a color TV is already a huge favor.

Before he could say another word to Ding Xiaomei, she hurriedly cleared away the dishes and poured all the shrimp shells and leftover soup into the backyard for the chickens and sheep to eat.

Su Wanqing shook her head—never chat with Ding Xiaomei, she'll just run off to do chores while you're talking.

The next morning, Su Wanqing woke up with a heavy heart.

Recently, the baby has been getting bigger and bigger. Although she is not yet full-term, she feels that she may not be able to wait until full term, otherwise it will be too big for her health.

It's better to have a C-section at eight months to avoid irreversible damage to the body.

She didn't want to have a bad recovery later. As for whether the children would survive, there was the Perfect Spirit Spring; each child would get a drop after birth.

As soon as Su Wanqing arrived at the hospital entrance, she saw a black sedan waiting there. Mayor Shen, accompanied by Shen Ruolan, personally came to greet her.

Upon seeing Su Wanqing, the imposing Mayor Shen strode over to shake her hand: "Hello, Comrade Su Wanqing, we meet again. I really didn't expect that my daughter's face could actually be restored through surgery! If this girl hadn't kept it from me, I wouldn't have known about it. I was wondering why she suddenly looked so different these past two weeks..."

Mayor Shen was filled with emotion when he talked about this.

He was always busy with work, but he never neglected his daughter and spent as much time with her as possible whenever he could.

In the past two weeks, my daughter, who used to be unable to finish even half a bowl of food, now eats two large bowls at every meal and specifically asks for braised pork and braised pork hock.

He used to be always looking worried, but a few months ago he discovered that his daughter wanted to hang herself!
