Chapter 376: 376 Awakening
It's too tiring to work, but living every day like this is quite relaxing.
But today, for once, he actually listened to what Mom said.
"I will, but the money still ends up in his hands."
"Don't worry, I'll talk to the team leader. Zhang Hongwen will support us, as long as we work hard. We'll definitely see the money.
If he wants to leave his money to others, we can still live well without him."
Su Yuanyuan didn't know that it was because of seeing her that Tian Xiaohua actually changed for the better.
They planned to leave the next morning over dinner.
"Yuanyuan, make sure you take it slow on the road," Hu Chunhua advised.
"I know, Aunt. Don't worry, we'll drive slowly. I've already given you my address. I'll write to you if it changes."
"Alright, as long as you're doing well."
The next day, the five of them set off, bringing only a few sweet melons and roasted melons with them. They didn't take any other food supplies.
However, Xu Chunjiao prepared plenty of boiled eggs for them to eat on the road.
Before they even left the village, they saw Zhao Tian and his wife.
Su Yuanyuan thought they would surely go to the Yang Family to ask, but unexpectedly they waited at the village entrance for her.
"Uncle, Aunt."
"Yuanyuan, how are Qingxiang and the others?"
"Uncle, Brother Qingxiang already has two daughters since last year. Second Brother has a son, Xiao Ping has a daughter, Xiao Jing has a son, and when I left, Xiao Li was still single."
Zhao Tian and his wife knew that the eldest, Second, and Xiao Ping had kids. So, there wasn't much change.
"Are they doing well over there?"
"They're alright. Though tired, they have enough food and can earn money."
Zhao Tian nodded, while Han Lixia stayed silent and just listened.
"Alright then, Yuanyuan, take it easy," Zhao Tian said and turned away.
The road was indeed quite rough, but they didn't miss their ride.
It was only after reaching the county town that things got a bit better. They didn't linger there and left right away.
At noon, it got too hot, so Su Yuanyuan gathered the three children, who could now play on their own in the space, quite obediently.
By the end of August, they reached the place where Tan Shaoting was to carry out a task.
"I'll go over, you four stay here and wait for me."
"Alright, you go ahead. I have proof, we can stay at an inn, and we'll wait for you there. Do take care, though."
"I will, don't worry about me. I should be back to see you in three days." He had memorized the task details, which were actually quite simple.
After Tan Shaoting got off, he quickly left, and Su Yuanyuan drove directly to the inn. Driving was quite eye-catching at that time.
She parked at the inn entrance and pushed the children inside.
Once settled, she went out to park the car in the yard.
This place was considered the northern edge. The temperature was about the same for the season, but the humidity here was higher.
She pushed the kids around for a walk nearby. The children could now stand by holding onto the cart, and they didn't like staying in one place.
After a while, as people from work began to fill the streets, the three kids watched the bustling crowd with wide eyes.
In fact, the four of them also attracted everyone's attention.
People whispered softly, "Haven't heard of triplets here?"
"Yeah, this woman looks unfamiliar."
Su Yuanyuan pushed the kids into the supply and marketing cooperative, didn't really need anything, but ended up buying some cloth.
Although there were cotton clothes in the space, it was still necessary to prepare.
After leaving the cooperative, she went to a restaurant nearby, saw the list on the wall and pushed the cart inside, ordering a bowl of porridge and pickles, nothing else.
The three kids were quite eager to eat, surrounded by the smell of food in the restaurant. Su Yuanyuan ate while watching the anxious kids in the cart.
Several people were already paying attention to the four.
The heartless mother finally finished eating and left, with the three kids looking back towards the restaurant in unison.
Then, Su Yuanyuan didn't stay outside any longer, quickly pushed the three kids back to the inn, and made them rice cereal.
The kids ate delightfully, really famished.
So, the four of them settled there, and every day she took the kids out to eat.
Through Zheng Lanying, she now used the space less often while outside.
On the third night while Su Yuanyuan was sleeping, she suddenly woke up.
Opened the door for Tan Shaoting, who was supposed to return the next day, but it's actually good coming back earlier.
"Are you alright?"
"Fine, it was quite simple really, no worries, that's not a problem for me."
Su Yuanyuan prepared hot water for Tan Shaoting to wash up.
They checked out and left early next morning, with a few more tasks to complete.
This time Su Yuanyuan drove, meanwhile, the three kids clung to Tan Shaoting.
It was just right for them to bond, for the kids depended on Tan Shaoting just like they did on Su Yuanyuan.
Completing tasks and seeing his wife and children, Tan Shaoting couldn't be happier.
The four of them were wild at the back, and Su Yuanyuan left them to it while she drove, already knowing the second task's location was in the neighboring city.
Once again, Tan Shaoting went off to do the task while Su Yuanyuan and the kids waited at the inn. Now, their favorite thing was to stand by holding the cart.
Su Yuanyuan worried they might develop bowed legs too early from standing, but they persisted, leaving her no choice.
This time, Tan Shaoting took another three days before returning, and they continued their journey.
After a month, they passed through a city Tan Shaoting had mentioned before.
"Pack up the kids, let's go take a look."
Su Yuanyuan was naturally delighted and drove straight to the foot of the mountain. Tan Shaoting packed away the car, and Su Yuanyuan gathered the kids and prepared toys and teething sticks for them. That way, they could stay put quietly.
The couple entered the mountains, and with Tan Shaoting leading the way, they reached their destination by midday.
Instead of adventuring, they let the kids out, tired of staying inside.
They washed, fed, and nursed the kids. Once they slept, they were put back into the space.
"Yuanyuan, once the kids are a year old, we can't put them inside anymore. We shouldn't show anything special in front of them in the future."
Su Yuanyuan understood what Tan Shaoting meant. "Alright, after we return, I won't put them inside."
"Good, when we get back, I think I can stay home and be with you all."
