Bringing Good Luck to your Husband in the ’70s

Su Yue pointed to her room, “Auntie is here. She came to borrow the sewing machine to mend clothes.”

Ma Cuiyun’s face suddenly turned ugly. Su Yue just got the sewing machine yesterday, and her mother-in-law came to borrow it early this morning with tattered clothes. Those clothes only need to be sewn with needle and thread. That’s all. Why do you need to use a sewing machine? You don’t need to make clothes.

Thinking of her mother-in-law’s love of taking advantage and the things she usually liked to do, she really had a headache.

Facing Su Yue, she felt very guilty. She pulled her to the door and apologized softly: “I’m really sorry, sister. I didn’t know that my mother-in-law came to your house early in the morning. If I knew, I wouldn’t let her come. Yes, don’t mind if she says something unpleasant.”

Su Yue waved her hands and said nonchalantly: “Don’t be like this, she is just borrowing a sewing machine to use, it’s nothing.”

Ma Cuiyun sighed, eyes there is a sadness that cannot be resolved.

Su Yue asked her quietly: “Are you not getting along well with your mother-in-law? I think you have been in a bad mood since you came back from the New Year.”

Ma Cuiyun has a good relationship with her, and she doesn’t hide things at home from her. Anyway,  she was worried that she had nowhere to talk, so she just wanted to complain to Su Yue.

“I don’t know what my mother-in-law was thinking this time. She insisted on coming here with us. We couldn’t object, so we brought her. But my mother-in-law likes to take care of everything. Now we have to listen to her in everything at home. Yes, even she has to decide what to do for every meal.”

“Forget it, I can tolerate it, but she dislikes me for having two daughters, and is not only not good to me, but also to Dani and Xiao Taozi. When she orders them around, she curses them at every turn. As a mother, I have never scolded my two children like this. As a daughter-in-law, it’s okay to suffer. It’s a pity that my two children are only so old and have to suffer the same. I’m so angry.”

Su Yue frowned, she didn’t expect Mrs. Sun to be like this.

Ma Cuiyun said, her eyes were red, “What’s even worse is that she always urges me to have another child, and I must have a son. What she means is that if I can’t have another son, she will divorce me. Find a new one. She thinks that her son is an officer and has a high allowance, so it will be easy to find a new one. She looks down on me very much. She probably feels that I can’t live without her son.”

Su Yue hugged her, patted her shoulder to comfort her, but she didn’t know how to comfort her, because she couldn’t help it. This was someone else’s family matter, and she couldn’t control her mother-in-law, nor was she qualified to do so.

When encountering such a mother-in-law, other than solving the problem yourself, there is really nothing anyone else can do.

“You should talk to your company commander Sun about this matter. After all, he is her biological son. She should always listen to her son’s words. Let him persuade the old lady.”

Ma Cuiyun shook his head, “You think I haven’t said that, my husband didn’t know, he told her  so many times, but every time he said it, it didn’t work. Instead, it made the old lady even more angry. She felt that I was driving a wedge between mother and son, even though she had agreed well in front of Lao Sun. But what happens behind the scenes? Anyway, I don’t have any hope now, I just hope that I can really conceive a son and make her attitude change a little bit. ”

” This…” Su Yue was completely speechless and didn’t know what else to think of. After all, she had never experienced such a mother-in-law. Mrs. Han had always been sensible and very kind to her. She really have no experience in getting along with an evil mother-in-law.

Seeing Su Yue in trouble, Ma Cuiyun wiped her eyes and said, “Okay, I’m just complaining to you. There’s nothing I can do about it, and you, an outsider, can’t do anything. All you can do to help me is listen to my whining in the future. ”

Su Yue smiled and patted her shoulder, “If you want to talk to me in the future, come over anytime and bring the two children with you. I’ll make delicious food for them.”

Ma Cuiyun also smiled, “Those two little girls are so happy. They like to come to your house the most as they have delicious food every time.”

Just as she was talking, Old Mrs. Sun came out with clothes. She saw two people talking outside the door and looked at her inquiringly, as if she was suspecting something.

When Ma Cuiyun saw her coming out, she immediately urged: “Mom, let’s go home quickly. Well, it’s time to prepare lunch. ”

Mrs. Sun then smiled and said to Su Yue: ” Xiao Su, thank you. Your sewing machine is really easy to use. Look at this dress. It’s much better than sewing by hand. If i need to sew in the future? Can I come to you again? ”

Ma Cuiyun’s face suddenly turned red, “Mom, I’ll sew any torn in your clothes, and my hands can sew them very quickly.”

Mrs. Sun’s smile slightly retracted her hand and said: “How can hand sewing by hand be better than a sewing machine?  The sewing machine can be sew up in a short time, it is so trouble-free, and you and Xiao Su have such a good relationship, it doesn’t matter if you borrow it for a while, right Xiao Su? ”

Su Yue felt that Mrs. Sun was a talented person, and what she said was hard to refute. She could only smile and nod, saying it didn’t matter.

Ma Cuiyun was about to explode with anger, but she couldn’t quarrel with her elders over such a trivial matter. She seemed to be making others laugh in vain, so she had no choice but to endure it. Su Yue saw that her face was not very good, so she patted her back to indicate that she was okay. She just wanted to borrow a sewing machine. You can’t have something to sew every day.

Ma Cuiyun forced a smile, She took Old Mrs. Sun home.

Su Yue shook her head and didn’t take it to heart. She turned around and went home to make a cake. Two days ago, someone ordered a huge cake from her to make for the elderly’s birthday. The price was very generous, more than double the previous price, so she had to make it well and not let people down.

After the cake was ready, Su Yue specially made a smiling birthday boy on the surface of the cake. The peach looks very festive, especially suitable for the elderly to celebrate their birthdays. Even Mrs. Han couldn’t help but book one with her, saying that she would make one exactly the same for her sixtieth birthday.

As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Mrs. Sun The wife came in from the door again. As soon as she came in, she sniffed and said, “Why does it smell so good? I smell it from afar. What are you doing at home? ”

Su Yue and Mrs. Han looked at each other and expressed one sentence in each other’s eyes: Okay, here we go again. Although this old lady doesn’t come to sew clothes every day, she really does come every day.
Now Mrs. Sun has become a regular customer of their home, and come here twice a day to look for them.

Mrs. Han chats.

Su Yue had no choice but to explain: “I’m making a cake for a friend who has an old man celebrating his birthday.”

Mrs. Sun’s eyes lit up as soon as she saw the cake, and she stared at her bright eyes, “What’s this called? ?Cake? I have never eaten this before at my age. It smells so good and looks good. It must be delicious.”

Su Yue smiled and said, “This is for birthdays. Now this is I have to deliver it to someone. Auntie, please sit down for a while while I deliver the cake.”

After saying that, Su Yue packed up the cake and carried it out, and hurried to find Xu Can. As for Mrs. Sun, let Mrs. Han handle it.

When she walked out of the door, Su Yue heard Mrs. Sun saying: “Your daughter-in-law still has this skill, which is really good. You are so lucky, but I can’t compare with you. I haven’t even eaten this thing.”

Old Mrs. Han said quickly: “No, that cake is very expensive to make. We don’t usually eat it. How can we afford it? I only ate it once.”

Su Yue didn’t hear after this.
After sending the cake to Xu Can, because the team leader was at home, she had to secretly call Xu Can outside to make sure there was no one, and then whispered: “Well… let me ask you something What’s the matter?”

Xu Can was confused by her sneaky look, “What’s the matter? Why can’t you talk about it at home?”

” Oh, it’s not convenient to talk about this at home.” Su Yue laughed and said, she reached into her ear and asked: “Does your hospital have that… that contraceptive?”

She didn’t know why, but she felt her face was a little hot when she asked this question. It was obviously quite common in the 21st century. , but she felt a little embarrassed when she got here. Maybe she was assimilated into this simple and shy era, and this old driver also became pure.

Xu Can looked at her blankly without saying anything, thinking that she didn’t understand what she meant, so she explained in detail: “It’s the condom that a man can wear to prevent women from getting pregnant. Do you understand that condom?”

Xu Can’s stupor instantly turned to surprise, and he asked, “How do you know about birth control pills?”

Su Yue had no choice but to find an excuse: “I overheard someone mention it, saying that it can prevent pregnancy. So I came to ask you. You also know that I just gave birth to two children. My mother-in-law and I are very busy and we don’t dare to have another child.”

Xu Can thought about her situation. At present, It was really not suitable to have another child, so he said: “Nowadays, many women who don’t want to have children go to the hospital to get an IUD. If they want to have children later, they can take it off and they can still have more babies. You might as well go get an IUD. It’s more convenient and you won’t need to be worried about pregnancy.”

Su Yue also thought about this problem, but she had heard before that some women would get gynecological diseases if they had an IUD, and the probability of getting it was quite high, so she gave up the idea and thought it was better to use contraception, so she said: “I heard that wearing a IUD causes gynecological diseases, so I’m worried. If there is a condom, I’d better use a condom for the time being.”

Xu Can is a gynecologist, and she has indeed seen some women wearing it for a long time, the ring has grown into the flesh, causing physical discomfort.

Then she agreed, “Then let me bring you some. You are right to ask me to bring this. Our hospital has just received a batch of these. The hospital wants to encourage doctors to take the lead in using it, but many people are not used to it. Basically no one in the doctor knows about it, and even fewer people outside know about it. That’s why I was just curious how you knew about this thing.”

It actually exists in the hospital. Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said: “Then you can temporarily Bring me thirty first, tell me how much they cost.”

“So many?” Xu Can was stunned again, “Why do you want so many? I think three is enough.”

Su Yue:… …. Three a night is enough, how can it be enough?

Seeing Su Yue’s stunned look, Xu Can thought she didn’t understand how to use it, so he explained: “You can use this after washing it and drying it. One can be used for a long time, so there is no need to buy so many. ”

Su Yue: …and this ? Can it be used after washing it?

Thinking of that scene, Su Yue sweated and waved her hands quickly, “I think it’s awkward to wash it and it’s not very hygienic. You’d better bring me more.” She would rather spend more money than wash it before using it.

Since she insisted, Xu Can said nothing more and promised to bring it back to her.

Xu Can moved very quickly. She found Su Yue the next night and secretly stuffed her with a large bag of stuff. Then the two of them separated quickly like a secret agent.

Su Yue was too embarrassed to be known by Mrs. Han, so she avoided her and quietly returned to the room while she was away. First she hid it under the pillow, but after thinking about it, it was not safe, so she stuffed it under the cotton wool under the pillow. It won’t be seen by others.

But obviously, Su Yue only included Mrs. Han as the “other person” and forgot to include the two little devils in the family, which also led to an embarrassing incident.

Han Aiguo came back very late in the evening. Su Yue heated up food for him and fetched hot water for him to take a bath. The two of them stayed in the bathroom for a long time, while the two children were left in the care of Mrs. Han.

Old Mrs. Han put the two children on the bed to play. Now the two little guys are becoming more and more lively and do not like to be held. Instead, they like to move by themselves. Especially Xiaobao, who has fallen in love with this since he learned to crawl. He wants to play sports and crawl around all day long. If anyone hugs him and refuses to let him crawl, he will open his mouth and pretend to cry, begging adults to let him crawl down.

Old Mrs. Han had no choice but to put the two children on the bed and let them play freely. However, it was inevitable that she would not be able to keep an eye on the two children by herself, for fear that they would crawl and fall when she was not watching them. Once they fell out of bed and was injured, so she and Su Yue came up with a way to cut out the old clothes that couldn’t be worn, sewed them together, and finally sewn them into a long strip about half a meter wide, which was wrapped around the bed. Form a bedside guardrail so that children don’t have to worry about falling off while playing on the bed.

With this fence, it saves Mrs. Han  a lot of work. She can knit sweaters and make shoes while watching her children. She no longer has to keep an eye on her children while doing nothing else.

When Han Aiguo came in after taking a shower, Mrs. Han was ready to go back to her room to go to bed.

Who would have thought that  XiaoBao pulled out a large package of things wrapped in plastic bags from under the bed. He felt very curious, bit it with his mouth, and found that it had no taste, so he raised it and screamed at the adults, motioning for them to look at themselves.

Old Mrs. Han saw that he was holding a big bag of unknown things in his hand, so she walked over and took a look, “What is Xiaobao holding? Such a big bag?”

Su Yue was wiping Han Aiguo’s hair and turned around unconsciously. She glanced over her head, and when she saw what Xiaobao was holding, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, and she shouted: “Don’t touch, don’t touch!”

She jumped over and snatched the bag from Xiaobao’s hand and carried it on her back to behind.

Old Mrs. Han looked at her in surprise. Xiaobao looked at his empty hand and then at his mother. Knowing that the things had been taken away by his mother, he couldn’t help but blink his big eyes and reach out to his mother, shouting in a sweet voice: “Huh, uh, uh…”

Dabao also looked behind Su Yue with his dark eyes open, wanting to see what his mother was hiding.

Han Aiguo stared directly at what was behind Su Yue, his eyes thoughtful.

Being stared at by the whole family, Su Yue broke into a cold sweat. She was really embarrassed, so she had to laugh: “Haha, this is nothing, it’s nothing, haha…”

Old Mrs. Han saw that Su Yue was embarrassed. Although she couldn’t figure out what was going on, she was sensible enough not to ask anything and went straight back to her room to sleep.

Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she left, and hurriedly stuffed the bag into the closet and hid it, then gave Xiaobao a small rattle, and coaxed with a smile: “Mom just got a rattle, let’s play with it for you.”

Xiaobao looked at his mother doubtfully, and then at the rattle. He felt something was wrong. He looked behind his mother again, but didn’t see anything. Then he hesitated to take the rattle over and play with it. After playing for a while, he forgot about it.

She quickly got a toy for Dabao and coaxed the two little guys, and then the awkwardness was completely resolved.

Fortunately the bag was tied up and no one saw what was inside.

But this little treasure is getting more and more naughty now. He even found out when she hid so deeply. How can this kid be so good! It seems that you have to be careful when hiding things in the future, otherwise Xiaobao will dig them out in minutes.

The two children were easy to deal with, but adults were not so easy to fool. After the two children fell asleep, Han Aiguo pressed her under him and asked in a low voice: “What was that just now?”

Su Yue’s old face was disappointing again. The ground turned red.
