Chapter 19

"You cover up with the quilt, I'm not afraid of the cold, the bed outside will be ready tomorrow, and we'll buy another bed when the marriage certificate comes down." Hancheng didn't expect to bring a daughter-in-law back, so he listened to Su Xiaoxiao's words in the afternoon. After washing the quilt, there is no question of whether there is a quilt cover when sleeping at night.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed, in this age of material scarcity, the marriage certificate issued by the brigade can only be used in the local commune. If you want to buy a new bed and quilt here, you must rely on the marriage certificate. The clothes that can no longer be worn have to be saved. The quilt covered by Little Bao was saved little by little. Fortunately, their commune has a kind of cotton, which can be divided every year. Otherwise, there are many people in the family, and the quilt does not know what to take. to fill.

There are a few quilt cores in Hancheng. They are a little old, but they are dry after drying for an afternoon. There is no quilt cover. Now it is not time to cover the quilt.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Then remember to wear thicker clothes, don't catch a cold."

Hancheng nodded, "I know."

The two cubs were so sleepy that Su Xiaoxiao had to take them back to their room to sleep. The clever little rice ball asked, "Mom, won't Dad sleep with us?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Dad is too burly, the bed is not big enough, and daddy sleeps alone."

Hancheng took a deep look at her, lowered his eyes, but said nothing, turned back to his room.

The room of the two cubs only has a one-meter-five bed, and it is not very spacious for three people to sleep, thanks to Su Xiaoxiao dainty and delicate.

Su Xiaoxiao asked Xiaodoubao to sleep in the innermost place, and she slept outside. Xiaodoubao refused, so he had to be next to his mother, and the rice ball wanted to be next to his mother, but he loved his younger brother, so he finally let his younger brother sleep in the middle.

After a while, the cubs were not so sleepy.

Su Xiaoxiao thinks that telling bedtime stories is an important part of raising cubs, but she doesn't know what kind of stories are suitable for the cubs of this era, and she doesn't know if Grimm's fairy tales or Andersen's fairy tales are banned books , told them in advance that couldn't tell them after heard it. This is their family's secret. Once it is said, will not tell them again.

The two cubs didn't even know what the story was, and naturally nodded in agreement.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't read fairy tales very much, and no elders told her bedtime stories since she was a child, so she only remembered a general idea, plus some of her own associations, and began to tell stories to the cubs:

"A long time ago, on a hot summer afternoon, under the grape trellis of an old house, the mother duck hid in the most shady corner to hatch duck eggs. Today, the hatched duck eggs finally broke their shells, one, two , three, four... A few hairy little heads stick out from the broken eggshells, guess what came out of the eggshells?"

The smart little rice ball raised his hand: "I know, I know, it's a little duck!"

"By the way, our rice balls are great, and fluffy yellow ducks are born..."

...

Su Xiaoxiao spoke in a sweet and glutinous voice, and she stopped asking questions later, her voice became softer and softer, and briefly recounted the story of "The Ugly Duckling" in her memory, the two cubs gradually entered the sweet Dreaming, the dream is full of mother's gentle smile and sweet voice.

It was the sweetest night they slept since they were born, and the night they remembered the most as they grew up.

Hancheng also found it sweet. The two rooms were very close together, and neither of the doors were closed. Su Xiaoxiao's voice was particularly clear in the night when the needles could be heard.

Hancheng put his hands behind his head, looked at the dark roof and raised his thin lips. Suddenly, he envied his son.

...

After a night of silence, Su Xiaoxiao was woken up by Xiaodoubao the next day.

Because Su Xiaoxiao always kissed Xiaodoubao, Xiaodoubao also learned to kiss her.

Su Xiaoxiao, who was a shit shoveling officer in her previous life, was always woken up by her own cat, and when she opened her eyes and saw the delicate little cub, she was in a trance for a while.

She took her watch and glanced at it. It was just after six o'clock.

The rice ball was still sleeping soundly, and the little baby was not hungry at such a young age. Su Xiaoxiao guessed that he woke up hungry, put the cub in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Good morning, cub, is it your stomach? Hungry? You have to say good morning to your mother when you wake up."

Xiaodoubao tried to move his small mouth "da...da", but was speechless.

But it has been improved a lot than "uh uh uh" before. Su Xiaoxiao encouraged him, "The cub is great."

Su Xiaoxiao hugged the little cub, and actually found that the smoke was cooked above the roof, and there was a busy figure in the kitchen.

"Comrade Hancheng, are you so early?"

Hancheng looked at his daughter-in-law, who was holding his son's eyebrows and smiling, and his mood also improved.

"I get used to getting up early, boiled a little sweet potato porridge, and heat up yesterday's fat intestines, and some small vegetables, do you do this?"

Hancheng noticed that Su Xiaoxiao likes to eat meat, but also has fruits and vegetables in every meal.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "I can, Dou Bao is hungry, you help him soak his cup of milk first, I will take him to wash."

Hancheng glanced at his son, who looked like Su Xiaoxiao, and frowned. The younger son was too clingy to Su Xiaoxiao, and his daughter didn't care. He was afraid of raising a cute son.

Then, Hancheng watched Su Xiaoxiao bent over to brush his younger son's teeth, the little fellow sat on the small bench, opened his mouth obediently, looked at Su Xiaoxiao with his big black and white eyes linked does not blink, his small expression enjoyed and cooperated.

Hancheng is jealous again, his daughter-in-law seems to like his son more than him.

The rice ball also woke up, rubbing my eyes, the first sentence was: "Mom, can I raise a few ducklings?"

There were too many things to buy yesterday. Su Xiaoxiao had forgotten this stubble. She shook her head: "Duckling does not work, they need to live in the water. We can buy a few chicken to raise it. ","

The rice ball asked again: "Can they become a white swan when they grow up?"

Uh?

Well, will avoid poultry fairy tales in the future.

Su Xiaoxiao shook his head, "I'm afraid it is not possible, it is not enough duckling. Only the special duckling that I said last night can be cooked after the chicken raised. The chicken legs that have been eaten in the guest house before? That was raised by our family Su Xiaobao from the chicken, is it delicious? "

The rice ball recalled the taste and swallowed: "Well, delicious, then I want to raise a chicken!"

Children are still very coquettish, Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at Hancheng, "Comrade Han Cheng ..."

Now every family has hatched chicks with eggs under his own hens. Hancheng is not sure if it can be bought outside.

He thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the army and ask who has chickens. If there are any, we'll change a few to raise. I'll bring some bamboo back at noon to make a Little Bao chicken enclosure."

Su Xiaoxiao looked back at the rice ball, "Comrade of the rice ball, how do you think Dad's idea?"

The rice ball erected with dad, "Dad's idea is great!"

Hancheng: "..." Come on, now the whole family follows Su Xiaoxiao's tone of speech.

Su Xiaoxiao is also very particular about eating shabu-shabu. It is boiled in oil and brine, and then mixed with mashed garlic and peanut oil. The fragrant and green look is very appetizing. Hancheng doesn't know how she can eat it so well, it seems like everything It will become especially delicious after passing through her hands.

Sweet potato porridge was still very satisfied with the remaining fat sausage with small rapeseed last night.

Hancheng's vacation ended completely and officially returned to the army to report.

Su Xiaoxiao's life in his family courtyard also officially started.

With yesterday's experience, the first thing Su Xiaoxiao was going to do today is to go to the market to buy vegetables first, but the problem is two cubs, one walking is unstable, and the other is not completely good. The journey was gone for almost 20 minutes.

This year, everyone is used to the sunrise and daily routine. It was only more than seven in the morning.

Su Xiaoxiao loves to go to the vegetable market in her previous life. She thinks that this is the corner with the heaviest fireworks and the strongest human warmth in the city, so as a house girl, the places she visits the most are the vegetable market and the supermarket.

But now she regrets it a bit. In the morning, Hancheng asked her if she wanted to buy the food first and then go back to the army. She should let him buy it. Now it's really hard to squeeze with two cubs.

The supply and marketing cooperative needs to line up, the meat factory needs to line up, and even to buy green vegetables, Su Xiaoxiao is about to cry without tears.

Just as she was about to go home and eat the dried fish that Zhou Yuhua sent yesterday at noon, an unfriendly old lady in her 60s stopped her, "Stop! You are Hancheng's newly married country girl. ?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..." What's the situation?

...
