The person who sent it directly carried it to the third floor and put it down.
In front of Su Yue’s house, many people crowded to the third floor to watch the excitement. The entire third floor was very lively today, even more lively than the last time when the family upstairs bought a sewing machine. After all, this was given by the leader’s wife.
Many people touch the sewing machine with envy and desire, wishing it were for their own home. Having a sewing machine at this time is a great thing, and it would be strange not to envy it.
Today happened to be Fang Xiaoli’s day to rest, and she was also at home. It was impossible for her to miss such a big noise on the third floor. She came out with curiosity to see what was going on, but she saw a brand new sewing machine at the door of Su Yue’s house , was stunned for a moment.
Wang Lianying, who also came to watch the fun, saw that she had also come out to watch the fun, and immediately came to her side. Fearing that she would not understand the situation, she took the initiative to explain to her vividly: “This sewing machine was given to Su Yue by the wife of the Leader Yu’s family. Well, it was said that it was because she had helped their family so much that she gave her a sewing machine as a thank you gift. I really don’t know what kind of help she had done to give her such a big gift. Alas…how could such a good thing didn’t happen to me, and I don’t know how this Su Yue is so lucky.”
Wang Lianying’s words had a strong sour taste, and the envy in her eyes could not be concealed. She also whispered in a low voice: “It’s good to have a good relationship with the leader’s family. She can even get her a sewing machine. If I had known, I would have gone to have a good relationship with them. Maybe this sewing machine would be mine now.”
Fang Xiaoli’s face suddenly darkened, her eyes almost burst into flames as she stared at the brand new sewing machine, and she clenched her hands tightly.
During this period of time, she was suppressed by Su Yue in every aspect. Even when her man got promoted, she still deliberately refused to make cakes for her family, causing her child to cry with her every day and making the family uneasy. It was Su Yue who deliberately did this.
The only thing that could comfort her was that under her instruction, Su Yue could not buy a sewing machine. The feeling of not being able to buy one despite having money and tickets was enough for her. This was also the thing she was most proud of all along. She must know what will happen if she offends her, and a more sensible person should take the initiative to please her and apologize to her.
But she didn’t expect that she was so lucky. She didn’t need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy one, but the wife of the group leader’s family personally gave one to her. How could this not make her angry?
Fang Xiaoli felt that her lungs were about to explode with anger. The sewing machine placed at the door suddenly became extremely dazzling, making her want to go up and smash the sewing machine, but this was obviously impossible. No matter how angry she was, she had to endure it, otherwise she would Offend the leader.
Fang Xiaoli felt very aggrieved and ignored Wang Lianying. She gritted her teeth and turned around to go home, slamming the door shut with a loud “bang”.
However, the attention of those who came to watch the fun was on the sewing machine at the moment. No one paid attention to her or took it seriously. Only Xu Can noticed it and smiled happily. Now the people who came to watch all returned home, and then they carried the sewing machine into the house with Su Yue.
Xu Can smiled and said: “Did you see Fang Xiaoli’s face just now? She must have been furious.”
Su Yue was just confused and didn’t notice Fang Xiaoli at all. After hearing what she said, she also understood why she had just left the sewing machine at the door . She showed it to everyone at the door, just to vent her anger. Normally she would be happy, but at this moment she was not in the mood at all. She pointed at the sewing machine and said, “Sister Xu Can, what are you doing?”
“What else can I do? I’ll give it to you.” Xu Can smiled and patted the sewing machine, “You have helped me so much this time. My husband and I are so grateful that we don’t know what to do. We discussed it over and over again, but we felt that there was nothing to thank you with, finally it occurred to me that you had always wanted to buy a sewing machine but didn’t buy it because Fang Xiaoli interfered with it, so I tried to find a way to ask my mother to get one as a thank you gift from us husband and wife.”
”Sister Xu Can, please don’t. In this way, I’m not helping you as a thank you gift. You can carry it back. This is too valuable and I can’t take it.”
Xu Can said sternly: “No matter how valuable this is, is it as valuable as your help for me? It’s in my belly. Is this child of mine valuable? This child is priceless to us as a couple. We both think that a mere sewing machine as a thank you gift is light and not enough to thank you for your help to me. So please don’t be polite to us, if you still refuse, I will be really angry, and I will never be friends with you again.”
”Oh…this…” Su Yue still felt like a sewing machine It’s really too expensive.
”Stop it, just listen to me and accept it with peace of mind. Okay, that’s it. I won’t tell you anymore. I’m going home.” Xu Can stuffed the sewing machine like a force. She gave it to Su Yue and ran away as soon as she finished speaking, as if she was afraid that Su Yue would refuse again.
Su Yue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She looked at the sewing machine for a long time and smiled helplessly. She planned to keep it like this for now and wait until Han Aiguo came back to ask his opinion, and then decide whether to accept it or not.
Mrs. Han had been silent just now. Seeing Xu Can leave, she asked what was going on.
Su Yue briefly told her. As for where the diet came from, she only said that it was from Tufangzi from her hometown. Mrs. Han did not doubt it, but suddenly said, “No wonder she gave such a big gift. It scared me, it turns out it’s because of this. It’s understandable. After all, she haven’t had a child for so many years, and now she suddenly have one. How can she not be grateful? But this one is too expensive. One unit costs more than a hundred yuan. Can we accept it?”
Su Yue said: “I’ll discuss it with him when Aiguo comes back. Mom, let’s take the sewing machine to the room and put it away first.”
Old Mrs. Han has never interfered too much in the decisions of her daughter-in-law. After hearing this she and Su Yue brought the sewing machine to the master bedroom. Originally, Su Yue planned to put it in Mrs. Han’s room for her convenience, but Mrs. Han insisted and said that large items like sewing machines had to be placed there. Among the sons and daughters-in-law, only the evil mother-in-law keeps all the good things in her own room.
Su Yue said that it was funny, the old ladt just thought too much.
But Mrs. Han insisted and finally put it in the master bedroom.
Han Aiguo came back at 9:30 in the evening. He was covered in mud and water and his face was stained.
He looked ashen as if he had rolled in the mud.
Su Yue asked him while getting him hot water: “Where did you go today? How did you end up like this? Look at how dirty you are.”
Ever since he was promoted to the battalion commander of Jian Dao Camp, he was different from before. He left early and came back late every day. It was normal to come back late at night. Sometimes it was normal to go to the mountains to train and stay for a few days. She was used to it now.
After the hot water was poured, Han Aiguo took off his clothes and took a bath in the tub in front of Su Yue. While washing, he replied: “I led the troops into the mountains for training tonight. It just rained and there was muddy water. “
Su Yue shook her head helplessly, went to the kitchen to get two steamed buns and the food left for him, put them on a plate and carried them into the bathroom. She moved a bench and sat next to the tub, holding the buns in her hand to feed him
Han Aiguo opened his mouth to eat while bathing himself. This saves time. The couple often does this, and he likes this method very much.
”Eat slowly, don’t choke.” Su Yue went to pour another glass of water and fed him a few sips. Seeing him wolfing it down made her heartache. Recently, he has not only become darker, but also lost a lot of weight, because he is a soldier. At that time, he was also training with her. The daily training was so intense that she was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it, so she tried to find ways to make delicious food for him so that he could eat enough every meal.
Fortunately, she makes more cakes now, and Han Aiguo’s allowance has also increased, so the family’s life is not too miserable.
Han Aiguo obediently slowed down his eating speed and looked at her with his eyes while eating, his eyes full of tenderness and joy. It’s rare not to have children around, and it’s always rare for two people to spend time alone. The time when he comes back to take a shower every day has become the time he looks forward to most now.
Su Yue also understood this, so she waited for him to come back no matter how late every day, personally fetched water for him to bathe, and fed him during bathing time. After all, children need love, and husbands also need love. You can’t just focus on the little ones and ignore the big ones.
But the time alone is always short. After half an hour, Han Xiaobao’s devilish urging voice came from the bedroom. It was obvious that Mrs. Han could no longer coax him.
Now he has learned to call mom, and whenever he looks for Su Yue, he calls her mom at the top of his lungs, making Su Yue not even try to pretend not to hear.
Han Aiguo smiled and touched her face, “Okay, I’m full. Go and see the two children.”
Su Yue handed him the clean clothes and then returned to the room. As soon as she entered the room, Seeing Han Xiaobao on the bed, he yelled at the door of the room: “Mom…”
Su Yue came over to hug him and patted his little butt, “It’s mom, isn’t it?” Huh, you little fool!”
”Huh!” Xiaobao grinned and screamed again. After he finished shouting, he felt that he had done a good job and kicked his legs proudly.
Han Aiguo came in wiping his hair. When Xiaobao saw him, he immediately opened his arms and pushed towards him, screaming eagerly.
Although he can call mom, he can’t call dad. He uses ah instead of ah every time.
Han Aiguo smiled and held him in his arms, kissed him, and took the trouble to give him daily education, “Xiaobao, call daddy, daddy -“
Xiaobao kicked his little hands happily.
Little Foot, “Ahh-“
Han Aiguo gave up.
Dabao, who was in the arms of Mrs. Han, blinked his dark eyes. When he saw his father hugging his younger brother to play with him, he silently stretched out his chubby arms towards Su Yue, wanting his mother to hug him.
Although this child doesn’t talk much, he is smart. As long as he sees his mother’s arms empty, he will want his mother to hold him. But if his brother is in his mother’s arms, he will not grab it and let Mrs. Han hold him.
Su Yue hugged him over and kissed him. Dabao immediately put his chubby face into his mother’s arms and rubbed her, holding his mother’s skirt tightly with his little hands.
Su Yue pinched his little face and coaxed him: “Dabao, call me mommy too. You see, my younger brother is calling me. Come and learn from mommy, mommy – mommy -“
Dabao picked at the skirt of Su Yue’s clothes. He looked up and didn’t speak for a long time. Just when Su Yue was about to give up, the little guy finally shouted: “Mom——”
Su Yue was pleasantly surprised. This was the first time that the little guy called her mom. No matter how much she coaxed her, he didn’t make a sound before. She thought he was… didn’t learn how to speak, and she didn’t expect that he could already speak, and his speech was so standard, much more standard than Xiaobao’s.
Su Yue happily kissed his forehead, “My Dabao is awesome! He speaks so well.”
Old Mrs. Han said with a smile: “Actually, Dabao knows it in his heart, but he just doesn’t want to say it.”
Han Aiguo looked at Dabao . After calling her mother, he also came up and taught Dabao: “Dabao, call daddy, daddy – daddy -“
Dabao yawned immediately, then silently buried his head in Su Yue’s lapel, and just ignored dad.
Han Aiguo: “…Two brats!”
Su Yue and Mrs. Han laughed together. They didn’t know what was going on. The two little guys at home couldn’t call him daddy, which made Han Aiguo confused. This father is very disappointed. He devotes himself every day to teaching his two children to call him daddy, but neither child can do it well.
After playing for a while, the two children became tired and dozed off with squinted eyes. Old Mrs. Han also felt sleepy, so she got up and said, “Then I will go back to the room to sleep.”
Su Yue was busy. She told them, “Mom, go to bed early and don’t get up so early tomorrow morning. I’ll get up and make breakfast.”
”I understand.” Old Mrs. Han responded casually and closed their door behind them when she went out.
After the children all fell asleep, Han Aiguo noticed that there was an extra sewing machine in the room and asked what was going on.
Su Yue told him the situation again, and finally asked, “Will accepting this have any impact on you?”
Han Aiguo understood her concerns, touched her hair, and said, “Since Captain Yu’s family insists on Just keep it If you don’t accept it, they may feel that the favor is too great and feel uneasy, so it’s better to accept it. As for other things, you don’t have to worry so much. After all, we are not giving gifts to their families, others won’t say anything nonsense.”
Su Yue nodded, and the last worry in her heart was dispelled. In this case, let’s put this sewing machine away. If not, Xu Can would probably be annoyed.
Thinking of the fact that she had planned to buy a sewing machine before, it seemed that it was no longer needed now. Su Yue hurriedly went to give Han Aiguo the sewing ticket he had borrowed from his comrades, “Now there is also a sewing machine. There is no need for this ticket. You can take it and return it to your comrades. “
Han Aiguo stuffed the ticket into the pocket of his military uniform. Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them turned off the lights and fell asleep.
——
The next day, Su Yue was disturbed by a loud voice outside the door while she was still sleeping. When she woke up, she opened her eyes hazily. After being awake for a while, she gradually heard what the people outside the door were saying.
”Hey, sister-in-law, where is your daughter-in-law? Why didn’t I see her? “
Mrs. Han: “She is still sleeping. Please wait a moment. “
The person outside the door seemed quite surprised, “It’s already past eight o’clock. Are you still sleeping at this hour? It must be too late to get up. My daughter-in-law got up at about five o’clock in the morning. Breakfast is ready, and the vegetable garden is almost ready. “
Mrs. Han said: ” The two children are noisy at night and have to drink milk. She can’t sleep well at night. She needs to sleep more in the morning.”
” Oh, all of us have come from that time. At that time, you had to work in the fields during confinement. Regardless of how many children you had to take care of, there was still a lot of work to do. If you got up late, the old woman would scold you to death.”
Mrs. Han: “It’s different now than it was back then. There’s no need to be like that. It’s hard to take care of children, not to mention we have two children at once. “
” I see, you have a good heart as a mother-in-law. Your daughter-in-law is really lucky to find you as a mother-in-law. However, you can’t be too nice, and can’t be too obedient, otherwise it will be easy. If they don’t be take you seriously and ride on your head, you may not know what will happen in the end. “
Old Mrs. Han stopped talking and quickly brought up other topics. After
hearing this, Su Yue also heard who the person outside was, and it was Ma Cuiyun’s mother-in-law. This time they went home to visit relatives, and they didn’t know what happened. Yes, Ma Cuiyun’s mother-in-law insisted on coming to the army, so she finally had to take her mother-in-law to live with her.
Afraid that Old Mrs. Han couldn’t cope with it, Su Yue hurriedly got up and got dressed, opened the door and walked out, and saw Old Mrs. Sun, He immediately smiled and said hello, “Good morning, Aunt Sun. “
When Mrs. Sun saw Su Yue coming out, she didn’t say anything about getting up late. Instead, she smiled kindly and said, “Xiao Su, you’re up.”
Su Yue glanced at what she was holding and asked, “Aunt Sun, what’s the matter with coming here so early in the morning?”
Old Mrs. Sun immediately showed her the clothes sample in her hand, “No, I saw that your family just got a sewing machine yesterday, so I shamelessly came to borrow it. Many of the clothes at home are torn and need to be mended. The sewing machine looks much better than mending it by hand. Xiao Su, you have such a good relationship with my daughter-in-law, you shouldn’t mind, right? “
Having said that, can Su Yue say you don’t mind? This old lady is really… Su Yue smiled and said, “I don’t mind. Aunt Sun, come with me. The sewing machine is in the room.”
Old Mrs. Sun immediately happily followed Su Yue into the room. As soon as she entered, she looked around the room several times and said with envy: “Xiao Su, your room is really beautiful. It’s much nicer than my house, someday you can teach my Cuiyun how to arrange it like this. “
Su Yue smiled and responded vaguely.
After saying that, she saw Dabao sleeping side by side in the cradle with Xiaobao immediately went over and touched the faces of the two children and said with a smile: “Oh, these two big fat boys are so lucky. If only we had one of them I could wake up with a smile, it’s a pity. My daughter-in-law just doesn’t live up to expectations.”
Su Yue frowned, not wanting to hear what she said, and quickly opened the panel on the sewing machine, took out the machine body inside, moved a stool to the sewing machine, and said, “Aunt Sun, please sit down, do you know how to use a sewing machine?”
Old Mrs. Sun was diverted by these words, sat on the stool happily, and said confidently: “Yes, yes, when I was in my hometown, a family in the village also bought one I learned how to use the sewing machine at that time, and it turned out to be very useful.”
After saying that, she put her foot down and stepped on the pedal, and the sewing machine immediately started running, making a clicking sound.
The sound was quite loud. Su Yue was afraid of disturbing the two children, so she took Dabao and Xiaobao to Mrs. Han’s room to continue sleeping.
Old Mrs. Han covered the two children with quilts, and then quietly said to Su Yue: “I just woke up in the morning, and she knocked on the door and said she wanted to borrow a sewing machine. Our sewing machine hasn’t been used yet,she was the first to use it, this mother-in-law is really…”
Mrs. Han didn’t even know what words to use to describe it.
Su Yue waved her hand, “Mom, forget it, just let her use it.”
Mrs. Han said nothing more.
After a while, Ma Cuiyun hurriedly came in from the outside. When he saw Su Yue, he asked: “Su Yue, is my mother-in-law at your house? I just came back from the vegetable field. When I came back, I heard Xiao Taozi say that she brought several pieces of clothing went out, and I was wondering if she would come to your house.”

Love you y’all .
This Fang Xiaoli is very interesting. She’s the one that look down on people and think she herself is high and mighty. Goes around calling people names and disliking them for being from the country side. But still want others to fawn and pleased her 🙄🙄 and do favors for her just because she thinks she’s better than them. And also this old madam Sun I have a feeling she’s going over to keep borrowing the sewing machine. But once you reject her she’ll go around bath mouthing you like you’re the bad guy.
