Skillful Wife of Military - C56

Gou Sheng’s mother did not say anything else and urged Xiao Da Yong and Gou Sheng to quickly go to Camp. Xiao Da Yong looked at Niu Niu and then looked at Xu Hui, saying softly, “Niu Niu, brother is gone. Take care of your sister-in-law!”

“Then did you bring someone back for lunch? Sister-in-law is sick, how are we going to cook? ” Niuniu tilted her head in annoyance as she asked Xiao Dayong. Xiao Dayong felt his face heat up from being asked, but he just casually shook his head and walked out.

After leaving the house, Gou Sheng saw that Xiao Da Yong’s expression wasn’t good and walked forward without saying a word. He rubbed his hands in distress and caught up to Xiao Da Yong: “Dahuang-ge, don’t worry.

“En!” Gou Sheng looked at Xiao Da Yong’s expression and said: “Yesterday, I heard my mother say that we’ve already finished eating all the hard stuff in our house, so let’s get some yellow rice noodles and some more hot stuff. Also, those rice noodles you sent, we’re almost out too, mother told me to ask if there’s any place we can buy some food and eggs, Niuniu Niu and Er Wa are still young, we need to eat some more in detail.”

Xiao Da Yong turned to look at Gou Sheng, who scratched his head and said: “Big brother, don’t be angry, I have something to say, I know, the brothers of vanguard camp have lived and died with us, and they came to our house to eat because they were close to us, but they can all eat, and we are not some rich person, how can we afford to feed them? From now on, whatever delicious food we cook, we’ll give them a taste every few days. We’ll consider it our best efforts, don’t you think? ”

Gou Sheng, we are brothers. In the future, when you feel that your brother has no choice but to do the right thing, quickly tell me, your sister-in-law is too kind. If not for you reminding me, even if she died, she wouldn’t be able to tell me.

“Sigh!” “I’ll listen to big brother.” Gou Sheng laughed until his white teeth were bared. Thinking back to what his mother had said, your sister-in-law’s ability to control even a few brave men was not a problem.

Since then, Xiao Dayong no longer brought people back every day, and Xu Hui’s days became more relaxed and orderly.

The snow had fallen fitfully for four or five days before it stopped snowing. The snow outside was up to the knees, and although it was no longer snowing, the weather was still very cold. The snow had melted during the day and had frozen into ice at night.

Fortunately, Xiao Da Yong had brought a lot of firewood. Xu Hui and the rest had heated up the kang, so it wasn’t too cold inside the house, but they could only stay in the house all day and couldn’t go out, which was what Gou Sheng’s mother had called “cat winter”.

Cat Dong was a local term, which was very consistent with Xu Hui and the others’ current lives. They were like kittens, always sleeping on the bed in their rooms, never going out into the world of ice and snow.

Other than having three meals a day, he spent the rest of his time in the house, carefully packing his luggage with Xu Hui.

The winter was going to be long and cold in the north, and as it was, they were going to be living here for a long time.

Although they were from two different families, they were pretty much in the same family now. Since they were living together and had nothing better to do, they might as well pack up together. After Xu Hui tidied up everything, he looked at Gou Sheng’s mother and sighed. Gou Sheng’s mother could not help but wipe his tears away.

The clothes were old clothes that had been mended many times, and the bedding was the same as when he got married. There were only two small bags of food, and the rest were worthless bowls and basins. There really wasn’t anything decent. He should have married Gou Sheng’s father instead of the Li family for so many years. Other than his two children, there was nothing else.

Xu Hui held Gou Sheng’s mother’s hand and patted it: “Aunt, everything will be fine in the future. After Gou Sheng and Xiu Er becomes married, and Er Wa will also grow up, your days will be better!”

“Before I was married, there was a blind man who told me fortune telling me that my fortune was in the latter half of my life and was not to be fulfilled. Meeting such a good person like you and Da Yong is my fortune telling you.” Gou Sheng’s mother wiped his tears and said with a smile.

“Aunt, it’s a blessing that we met you. Look, you’re already in the eighth grade, we should be preparing for the new year. I still have a piece of cloth, it would be great if we could make some clothes for the new year!”

“Aiya, how can that be? Your cloth is as bright as satin. How can we afford it? We all have clothes to wear, and it’ll be fine after the new year is over. ”

This won’t do, this is our first year in Kepin, we have to pass it well, the better only after the boss opens it well, the cloth is woven by ourselves, it is only a little effort, once the spring starts and we bring the loom over, I will weave the flower cloth for Aunt Xiu Er to make you a robe.

“A robe?” “Aiyo, then I won’t be the madam. I can even put on a robe!”

“It’s definitely Madam!” Xu Hui laughed as she spoke, as Niu Niu and Er Wa surrounded Gou Sheng’s mother and shouted “Madam” and “Madam”, making Gou Sheng’s mother laugh out loud.

The twill cloth Xu Hui left behind was specially prepared for the New Year. The dyed yarn she bought from Uncle Wei and the mountain sloping blue cotton cloth, it really took a lot of effort.

Even though she had already seen it once, when Xu Hui laid the cloth on the brick bed, Gou Sheng’s mother could not help but praise him, “How is this cotton cloth? It’s even brighter than satin. This shake and it’s even more beautiful. Dazong’s daughter-in-law, how could your hands be so coincidental?

“Not only does my sister-in-law know how to weave cloth, she also knows how to embroider flowers. Auntie, look, the flowers on my clothes were embroidered by my sister-in-law. They look nice, don’t they?” Niu Niu pointed at the flowers and plants embroidered on her cotton clothes.

Gou Sheng’s mother laughed and said, “It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful. You all will learn from your sister-in-law in the future.

Everyone laughed.

They were all used to doing chores, but a few sets of clothes were quickly cut out. A single piece of cloth was more than 4 zhang in length, so a short set of cotton clothes would not cost much fabric. It was enough for everyone to get a new set of clothes.

When he was done, Xu Hui suddenly thought of something and could not help but hit his head. He was really blind and happy. Did he have to take apart the bed to make clothes?

Hearing Xu Hui’s words, everyone became worried. The kids were all looking forward to getting new clothes. Hearing Xu Hui say that there was no way to make new clothes, Er Wa almost cried. He was not even wearing new clothes, and his clothes were modified from her father’s old clothes.

Xiao Xiuer looked at Gou Sheng’s mother and Xu Hui, and whispered, “My blankets are new, and have not been used.

“That won’t do, it won’t do. That’s a dowry, you still haven’t gotten married. How can you take it off?” Xu Hui and Gou Sheng’s mother did not agree. Xiao Xiuer smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, aunty, it’s only a bed, it’s not even worth as much as a bed. Besides, I will make it when spring starts.”

Speaking of marriage, Xiao Xiuer blushed.

Xu Hui looked at Xiao Xiuer, then looked at Gou Sheng’s mother, smiled and said, “Xiu Er is right, let’s celebrate our new year. When the spring is around, we can buy some cotton to make two new blankets for Xiu Er.”

Xiao Xiuer smiled gently. A single blanket could let her mother-in-law be more intimate with him.

After taking off a quilt, Xu Hui and Gou Sheng’s mother started to busy themselves with making clothes. The chores were all left to Xiao Xiuer to do along with the Plum Blossom.

Xu Hui and Gou Sheng, together with the two helpers, Xiao Xiuer and Plum Blossom, quickly finished preparing their clothes. Seeing that everyone in the room was wearing new cotton clothes and trying to see if they looked good, Xu Hui and Gou Sheng s mother couldn’t help but be happy. At least it was worth it for them to be so tired these past few days that they couldn’t even lift their necks.

Xu Hui was happy for a while, but when she thought of something, she could not help but cover her forehead.

Tomorrow would be La Eight. La Eight would naturally have to simmer the porridge.

Other than some rice and yellow rice, they did not have any other beans. Gou Sheng’s family did not have much food at all, and as for the Xiao family’s food, they were all at Xiao Pao’s place. Xu Hui rarely even had any food, let alone any food.

Usually, we eat rice noodles at home, but there must be rice, beans, red dates or something to make the porridge.

Xu Hui started to worry. Gou Sheng’s mother sighed upon hearing Xu Hui’s words. It was at least the eighth day, how could he not have a sip of the porridge?

When women and children were unhappy, the men were even more unhappy. Xiao Da Yong felt that he could not even lift his head up. He was the one in charge, and could not even get a single bit of food.

The cheerful atmosphere in the room gradually calmed down. The children carefully took off their new clothes and stacked them neatly. One by one, they obediently stayed on the brick bed, quietly watching the adults’ expressions, not daring to make any loud noises.

Seeing the kids like this, Xu Hui felt even more upset. She smiled and said, “We can’t eat sweet and sour porridge, so we’ll just eat salty and salty porridge. I’ll make some salty and salty porridge for you guys tomorrow morning. You guys probably never drank it, right?”

Everyone shook their heads. Let alone drinking it, they had never even heard of it before.

Niuniu asked curiously, “Sister-in-law, is there any salt in the porridge?” “Is it good?”

Xu Hui pointed at Niuniu’s nose and said, “I put some meat and rice in there. You’ll know whether it’s good or not if you taste it tomorrow.”

Niuniu immediately became happy. When Erwa saw her laugh, he also giggled. The atmosphere in the room became a lot better.

Xu Hui and Gou Sheng’s mother rummaged through the house to find the ingredients for the Eight Treasures Porridge in the morning. Xu Hui thought about the last time Xiao Da Yong brought people to bring back a wild chicken to eat when it was still cold outside, so she quickly boiled water with Gou Sheng’s mother to clean up the wild chicken. Xu Hui picked out the chicken bones first, adding the ginger slices in the water to simmer the soup on the charcoal stove in the house.

Tomorrow morning’s salty oatmeal is counting on the chicken soup to improve the flavor.

The next morning, when the sky was still dark, Xu Hui woke up. Before she finished washing up, Gou Sheng’s mother, Xiao Dazong, Gou Sheng and Xiao Xiuer had already woken up.

Xu Hui wiped her face, put down the cloth and smiled, “Why are all of you up?” It’s not troublesome to make porridge, I’ll be fine by myself. You can all go back to sleep. “
