”Okay, okay, let’s not talk about those troublesome people.” Old Mrs. Han waved her hands, not wanting to mention the troublesome things at home anymore. She stuffed the money into Su Yue’s pocket and said, “Okay, if I give it to you, just keep it. Don’t refuse, otherwise mother will be unhappy. “
Knowing the old lady’s temper, Su Yue did not refuse, accepted the money, pulled Old Madam Han to sit down at the dining table, and asked Han Aiguo to bring out all the dishes in the kitchen, “Mom, you are hungry. Come on, let’s eat first, and then we’ll talk when we’re full.”
Han Aimin looked at the dishes on the table, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: “Sister-in-law, I haven’t eaten your cooking for a long time, and I miss it so much. “
Su Yue smiled, “Then you eat more today. Your sister-in-law cooked a lot today and it’s enough to eat. Just open your belly and eat.”
Han Aimin was not polite, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. , that expression was as if he had eaten some delicacy.
Mrs. Han was eating while picking up vegetables for Su Yue, “Yueyue, don’t worry about us. You can eat it yourself. There are still two children in your belly. You can’t stand being hungry.”
Even if Su Yue wanted to eat less, It was impossible, and the two children in her belly would not spare her until they were full, so even though the old woman and her brother-in-law came on the first day, she implicitly opened her belly and ate, showing them what it meant to eat.
At the end of the meal, Su Yue was the only one left on the table, using chopsticks.
Old Mrs. Han and Han Aimin both stared at her eating in stunned silence, but Han Aiguo was used to it and calmly added food and vegetables to her.
Su Yue didn’t put down her chopsticks until she was full. At this time, the dishes on the table were already empty, and the rice in the pot was also empty. In addition, her bowl was empty.
Su Yue looked at Mrs. Han and Han Aimin sheepishly and smiled, “Now I’m like a starving ghost reincarnated. I get flustered when I don’t have enough to eat. Don’t laugh at me.”
Han Aimin blinked his eyes and removed his surprised expression. He put it away abruptly. But in his heart, he has a new understanding of pregnant women. It turns out that the appetite of pregnant women can become so big, it can be compared to the appetite of two grown men. He remembered that his sister-in-law used to be full after eating half a bowl of rice.
After being surprised, Mrs. Han was extremely happy that she had brought extra food stamps and money. According to this way of eating, no amount of food would be enough. She didn’t know if she had enough food in the past. It seems that she will cook in the future. We need to do more to prevent Yueyue from starving while pregnant with her child.
Han Aiguo left after eating. He was leaving tonight.
Su Yue didn’t say anything, she just sent him out. Because she couldn’t bear to leave him, she sent him all the way to the gate of the family home. She didn’t stop until he wouldn’t let her see him off anymore.
Su Yue bit her lower lip and looked at him silently for a while, touching her belly to make herself laugh, “The babies and I are waiting for you to come back. You should come back early to see us.”
Han Aiguo couldn’t help hugging her . He hugged her, regardless of whether anyone was watching or not, and kissed her quickly on the forehead, and left the next second without looking back.
Su Yue covered her mouth to hold back tears, and waited until her emotions calmed down before going home as if nothing happened.
————
The old lady couldn’t rest at all when she arrived. On the first day, she went to the back of the family’s yard to look at her vegetable stall, remove all the weeds that needed to be removed, and water all the vegetables that needed to be watered, she was more careful than Su Yue, and she also took advantage of the time of serving the garden to strike up conversations with many people, and soon became familiar with them.
In less than two days, Old Mrs. Han figured out the situation in this compound, which family has aggressive women, which family is kinder, and which family likes to take advantage of others. She knew them so clearly which even Su Yue didn’t know after staying for more than half a year.
Su Yue simply admired the old lady’s social skills.
After all, Old Mrs. Han is different from young people. Su Yue can stay at home all day without going out and it doesn’t matter. But the old lady can’t. The old lady feels bored if she doesn’t go out. So the old lady stays at home every day only for cooking and housework, the rest of the time, she would go downstairs with her needle and thread to chat with someone, sit under the big tree in the yard and chat with others while making clothes and diapers for the children. From time to time, she would look up at the door of our house, if Su Yue had anything to do, she would call out at the door.
Han Aimin didn’t want to go out and chat with a bunch of women, and there were very few playmates of his own age in the family home, so Su Yue taught him accounting and other knowledge at home. She found that Han Aimin was particularly interested in doing business, and he was also willing to learn arithmetic.
Although the current policy was tight and he could not do business openly, in a few years of reform and opening up, he would be able to show off his skills. If you are interested, you can do it. Maybe he could become one of the first wealthy people in China, so Su Yue also supported him and taught him all her accounting knowledge, and also instilled in him a lot of business knowledge from time to time.
On this day, after breakfast, Mrs. Han went downstairs to chat with others as usual. Su Yue was teaching Han Aimin to settle accounts. At this time, there was a knock on the door. Su Yue looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Feng next door.
Su Yue quickly stood up with her big belly and said, “Auntie, are you okay? Come in and sit down.”
Old Mrs. Feng looked at Su Yue’s big belly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, “Girl, can you still make that cream cake?”
Su Yue: “Auntie, do you still want to make a cream cake?”
Old Mrs. Feng sighed, “My boy wants to eat it again. No matter how we coaxes him, he insists on eating it. I’m here to ask you this. It’s okay if it’s inconvenient for you.”
Ever since he tasted the cream cake made by Su Yue, Feng Zitao has made trouble every day. They can’t coax him with other snacks, a cream cake is so expensive, no matter how rich the family is, they can’t eat it every day, so they buy him one from Su Yue every once in a while.
In the past few days, this brat was clamoring for food again, but Mrs. Feng thought that Su Yue was about to give birth, so how could she go to the kitchen to do this, so she tried to persuade the kid, but in the end, the persuasion didn’t work and he insisted he wanted to eat, and her daughter-in-law protected and doted on him, so she shamelessly came over to ask.
After hearing this, Su Yue said with a slight apology: “Auntie, I’m so sorry. Look at how big my belly is now. I’m tired after standing for a while and can’t enter the kitchen.
I can’t make this cake for the time being. If the child wants to eat it, I can make it for him after I give birth. “
Mrs. Feng waved her hands quickly and said, “Don’t you say sorry, it’s me who should say sorry. You’re pregnant, you really need to take good care of your baby and can’t go into the kitchen still I came here to ask, sorry “
After Mrs. Feng finished speaking, she didn’t stay long and went back home, presumably to comfort her children.
Sure enough, after a while, the cry of Feng Zitao’s with a particularly loud voice could be heard next door. It must be because he didn’t get to eat. He was not happy when he didn’t saw the cake.
Su Yue shook her head. The child next door was really a headache and she didn’t know how to teach him. If it had been her child, she would have beaten him long ago.
Mrs. Han just saw someone coming to her home from downstairs, so she hurried back and asked: “Yueyue, who came to the house just now? Are you okay? “
Su Yue replied: ” The aunt next door just came over and asked me if I could make a cake. I used to take their food stamps and money to make cakes for them. Their children liked eating them, and now they are clamoring for them. “
Mrs. Han shook her head quickly, “How can you do this with such a big belly now? You didn’t agree, right?” “
”Mom, I didn’t. I rejected the aunt next door. Listen, the child next door is crying.”
”No wonder I heard the child next door crying. It turns out that’s the case. But even if the child cries again, you can’t cook it. You can hardly stand up now because of your stomach, so you can’t go into the kitchen to cook. “
I originally thought that this matter would just go away, but at night, Fang Xiaoli from next door actually came to the door in person. Su Yue couldn’t hide her surprised expression when she saw her.
From the time they moved in, Fang Xiaoli has not only invited her to dinner, but never came again after that. Even when she ordered cream cakes for their children, it was only Mrs. Feng who told me, and Fang Xiaoli never showed up. What happened to me today? I was confused, and I was too lazy.
After exchanging polite greetings with her, Su Yue asked straight to the point: “What’s the matter with you coming? “
The look on Fang Xiaoli’s face was a little unnatural, and the smile on her face was also deliberately put on, and her words were not as arrogant as before, “Sister, I just want to trouble you to make a cream cake. The child at home is now still making trouble, and the child is so fussy that he doesn’t even eat, he just wants to eat the cream cake you made. Look, I brought you food stamps and money. Please make one for me. “
As she said this, Fang Xiaoli took out the money and food stamps and gave them to Su Yue.
Su Yue immediately frowned and refused what she had given her, “Auntie has already been here in the morning. I have already explained it to her. I now have a big belly and can’t go into the kitchen, so I really can’t make this cake. If you want to eat the cake, you have to wait until I give birth to the baby. Sister-in-law, you’d better take the money and tickets back, and go back and coax the child.”
Old Mrs. Han also said beside her: “Yes, our Yueyue can’t go into the kitchen. Let’s wait until she gives birth to a baby. “
Fang Xiaoli knew what happened in the morning, and her mother-in-law also explained the situation to her, but the child would still clamor for food regardless of whether it was pregnant or not. As a mother, she couldn’t ignore the child crying like that, right? As a grandmother, No matter how cruel she is, she cannot be so cruel as a mother.
Moreover, Su Yue is only eight months old and is still early. How can she be so delicate that she can’t even get out of the kitchen? What a liar. She must be taking advantage of it and deliberately not giving her face.
Fang Xiaoli was angry, and took out another dollar from her pocket and added, “Sister, your baby is only eight months old. It’s okay to go into the kitchen occasionally. Just give it to him because you see he is crying pitifully. Let’s make one, I’ll give you another dollar.”
Fang Xiaoli’s expression of ‘If I give you one more dollar, you’ll stop taking troubling’ made Su Yue furious. She couldn’t bear to be angry now that she was pregnant with a child. Her temper also exploded at the first moment.
When Fang Xiaoli said this, she immediately stopped being polite and said with a cold face: “I told you that I can’t go to the kitchen because of my stomach. It’s not about money. Even if you give me an extra hundred yuan, I can’t. Go back, don’t embarrass yourself here.”
Fang Xiaoli felt that she had already humbled herself, but this woman Su Yue refused to give her face. She must have deliberately made things difficult, or she was still remembering the last time her child played marbles. This woman is so narrow-minded and can’t get on the stage.
Well, since she doesn’t give herself face, don’t blame yourself for not giving her face.
”I said that everyone is a neighbor. Don’t you think this is too much? Even if the child offends you, it was unintentional. How can you hold on to it like this? It’s just a cake. It requires a lot of effort from you. Huh? You just refuse to do something that can be done in a moment. Our family members have come to your door to beg you. You still don’t do it? You just know how to make a cake. You really think you are so capable! Don’t be so obsessed with yourself. “
At this point, Fang Xiaoli glanced at Su Yue contemptuously and said mockingly: “Oh, do you think you are great if your man is a company commander? Let me tell you, a small company commander in your rural area may be great, but it really doesn’t matter in this army, so don’t take yourself too seriously.”
Just talking about her is okay but shr even involve her own man, how Su Yue is going to tolerate at this unreasonable woman. Come on, how can there be such a disgusting, shameless and self-righteous woman in the world!
She had to have a good fight with her today, and she won’t give her any face today.
Su Yue took the risk and was about to start a quarrel, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Han stepped forward and pushed Fang Xiaoli out of the door, causing her to stagger.
Before Fang Xiaoli could come to her senses, Mrs. Han went to full power, pointed at Fang Xiaoli’s nose and scolded: “You are so shameless. We talked to you nicely, but you scolded my daughter-in-law, and you look down on my son! Why are you making irresponsible remarks in my house! Why should my daughter-in-law cook food for your child when she is so pregnant? You can’t hear anyone refusing you ! Are there such domineering and unreasonable people as you! You said that my daughter-in-law has her tail raised, but I think you are the one with her tail raised and her nostrils turned upward. My old lady has never seen such a shameless woman like you in her whole life. I really learned a lot today! If I were your family member, I would be embarrassed to let you go out to meet people!”
The old lady said, not giving Fang Xiaoli a chance to fight back. She caught the people watching the excitement and asked them, “You guys make the judgement, her child wants to eat my daughter-in-law’s cooked food, but my daughter-in-law couldn’t stand for a while with such a big belly, and couldn’t enter the kitchen. As a result, this woman started scolding her in my house. Can you tell me there are such domineering and unreasonable people? “
A few old ladies who got along well with Mrs. Han immediately criticized Fang Xiaoli.
”Her belly is so big, and there are twins inside. How can she go into the kitchen and cook food for your children? Isn’t this embarrassing? Just do it yourself. “
” That’s right, you have to have a begging attitude when asking for help. You also scold others and look down on them because they come from the countryside. Since you look down on them so much, don’t come here to ask for help!” “
”If you want it then we have to do it for you. What kind of attitude is this? You won’t gain anything by doing this.”
The law does not blame the public. Normally, everyone may not dare to accuse Fang Xiaoli face to face, but now a lot of people are talking about it, and everyone is not afraid anymore. They all take advantage of the random words to vent their anger, and they are simply besieging Fang Xiaoli.
This was the first time that so many people accused her at the same time. She almost exploded with anger. She was so angry that she lost all reason. She glared at Old Mrs. Han and said angrily: “Aren’t you just the mother of a junior company commander? Why are you so arrogant? Arrogant! Believe it or not, I will make your son unable to even be a company commander, and I let you and your family to go back to the countryside! “
Su Yue snorted coldly, and deliberately raised her voice and said: “Since you are so powerful, the troops have to listen to you, then go now. I am waiting for you to make my man unable to even be a company commander. Let me see you. Do you have this ability? “
” Okay, then you wait for me, I insist on letting your man -” Fang Xiaoli was about to continue to speak harshly, but Mrs. Feng, who came after hearing the news, covered her mouth to stop her from talking nonsense.
Old Mrs. Feng was angry with her daughter-in-law for the first time, “If you keep talking nonsense, I will ask Junwei to come back and divorce you. I believe that my son is willing to listen to me as his mother.”
This was the first time that Fang Xiaoli was spoken to by Mrs. Feng in such a harsh way. Panic flashed through her heart. Although she was very strong, she was afraid that Feng Junwei would divorce her. She didn’t dare to argue anymore and threw away Mrs. Feng. Holding up her hands, she rushed into the house crying.
Mrs. Feng quickly apologized to Su Yue and Mrs. Han: “My daughter-in-law is not sensible, don’t worry about it. I’m sorry, you adults don’t listen to her. “
Old Mrs. Han waved her hands, neither saying she cared nor said she didn’t care. She turned around and took Su Yue back home. She closed the door to block the sight of those watching the fun outside.
When no one was watching anymore, Old Mrs. Han was filled with worry and asked: “Yueyue, that woman was so arrogant just now, is her family very powerful? She said she would not allow Aiguo to be the company commander. Is this really possible? “
Su Yue patted the old lady’s back comfortingly, “Mom, don’t think blindly, it won’t happen. She is not the only woman who has the final say in the army. If she wants anyone to get out, then the army will be in chaos, and the leader of the army is not a fool. “
” But… but…” Old Mrs. Han was still uneasy, “Our family has no power and no background. Could someone be cheating on Aiguo behind our back? Aiguo has been in the army for so many years and has endured a lot of hardships to reach his current position. What if someone deliberately tries to trick him? “
Old Mrs. Han is not that ignorant old lady. She knows that being in the army is different from farming in the village. It is difficult to climb up. Someone must be behind them. In the small place of their brigade, in order to be there are still people in the brigade cadres who are cheating people behind their backs, let alone in the army.
Su Yue knew in her heart that Mrs. Han was right to worry, but she still tried her best to pretend not to care and comforted her: “Mom, no, the army is fair. Yes, it is calculated based on your performance and military merit, and it cannot be decided by others with just one word. You see, Aiguo has made so many contributions, and his current position was earned step by step by his own hard work, and no one else can shake him. Mom, don’t worry. “
Seeing Su Yue’s vow, Old Mrs. Han was finally relieved.
Although she had persuaded Old Mrs. Han, Su Yue was still uneasy in her heart. She didn’t know the specific relationship between Fang Xiaoli’s family. She only heard what Ma Cuiyun said. Fang Xiaoli’s father has quite a lot of authority in the army, but she has never inquired about the specific position. If Fang Xiaoli really files a complaint because of this matter, her father probably would touch Han Aiguo’s position.
It has been very difficult for Han Aiguo to get promoted in the army for so many years. If someone else suppresses him, he may not be able to move up in his life.
Worrying in her heart, Su Yue missed Han Aiguo even more, thinking about him leaving. It has been a month since he went away, and there has been no news during this period, and I don’t know how he is doing. Fortunately, she has not had any bad dreams during this period, which at least means that he is fine and is safe at the moment.
