MTL - The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs-Chapter 23

Garlic pork ribs still get five-star praise from the family.

In fact, these home-cooked dishes with little technical content are really nothing in the 21st century, but in the age of lack of clothing and food, they can be regarded as delicacy.

Su Xiaoxiao only felt that she had returned to a normal life in the past few days.

It's this patched dress...

Well, everyone has a love for beauty, and who doesn't want to dress better if they have the conditions? This has nothing to do with pleasing others, wearing nice clothes will make you happy too.

Hancheng doesn't have many cloth tickets every month. She can't buy a piece of clothes after saving for two months. The clothes of the family are all tight. You can buy more cloth when buying cloth, but the problem is that she can't make clothes. Ah, yes, this is another intellectual blind spot for her.

Only in this era did Su Xiaoxiao realize that she can't do too much.

If only Li Yufeng was here, she is really a typical representative of the great working people of this era. There is no work in the field or at home that she can't do. After being separated for a few days, she actually misses Li Yufeng a little.

If possible, she still wants to be closer to Li Yufeng in the future.

By the time it was all cleaned up, it was past nine o'clock in the evening.

Su Xiaoxiao asked Han Cheng to take the paper and pen and let the two cubs go to bed first.

The two cubs refused to listen to Su Xiaoxiao's bedtime stories, and Xiaodoubao was already too sleepy.

"Mom misses her own mother, so I have to write to my grandmother to tell her that everything is fine here, and let her come over to play with Dabao and Xiaobao when she has time. Be good, I'll tell you a story tomorrow."

The rice ball had never met Li Yufeng, but she said that her mother was not the grandmother he knew, "Then mother, your mother is a grandmother, and my mother's mother is also a grandmother. I have two grandmothers? Do you understand?"

What a clever little rice ball.

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Then you call my parents grandfather and grandma, and your mother's parents are grandfather and grandma, so we can tell them apart."

Onigiri nodded, "That's a good idea."

Han Cheng wrote the case in the room, and Su Xiaoxiao asked the rice ball to ask his father to get a printing pad.

The rice ball "Dong Dong" ran in and took the ink pad.

Su Xiaoxiao made the rice ball dipped in some printing mud with her thumb, pressed a handprint on the bottom right of the white paper, and also pressed a bean bag, and wrote the rice ball and the bean bag under the two handprints respectively.

"Okay, my mother introduced you to my grandfather and grandma. Can the rice ball take my brother to bed?"

The rice ball looked at the handprint on the white paper and the square signature below, then looked at Su Xiaoxiao, and said to Su Xiaoxiao very confidently: "Mom, I'm going to learn to write tomorrow, and I'm going to write a letter to my grandfather and grandma. !"

"Okay, Comrade Onigiri's current task is to take his younger brother to bed, can you complete the task?"

Onigiri gave a military salute, "Report to Mom, Comrade Onigiri promises to complete the mission!"

Doubao was sleepy enough to keep rubbing his eyes. Su Xiaoxiao carried him to the bed. The little guy was very good. Knowing that his mother was busy, he kissed Su Xiaoxiao and hugged the little quilt and closed his eyes to sleep obediently.

Su Xiaoxiao said good night to the rice ball before coming out to continue writing.

When Su Xiaoxiao explained the situation here clearly, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, Su Xiaoxiao stretched and Han Cheng was still busy.

She walked into Hancheng's room with the letter and knocked on the door, "Can I come in, Comrade Hancheng?"

Under the dim light, the man was holding a thick medical book in his hand. He looked a little tired, but he was still reluctant to put it down. He was stunned for a while when he heard the knock on the door. The voice immediately hooked his lips and stopped his movements, "Come in."

The man's voice was sour and deep, Su Xiaoxiao sighed, a man whose voice was on her aesthetic point, what reason did she have for not marrying?

"Comrade Hancheng, I'm writing a letter to my parents, do you want to say hello to them?"

Han Cheng didn't think there was a problem with his comprehension, but he didn't understand what Su Xiaoxiao meant.

Su Xiaoxiao showed him the letter in his hand, "Look, I, the rice ball and the bean bag have all greeted them."

Han Cheng took the letter, and was shocked by Su Xiaoxiao's hand that seemed to be deducting from the book. I figured out how to write how to look good and how to write. After his father taught him, he wrote his own style again. People who have seen his words will praise him for being good-looking.

And Su Xiaoxiao wrote in standard print, which can no longer be described as good-looking.

Su Xiaoxiao knew why Han Cheng was so shocked. She was also shocked when she wrote it. She didn't expect that the original owner's words were so good, and it was not a loss for being a scholar.

Coincidentally, writing and drawing was one of the few hobbies in her previous life, so she was good at writing. The original owner also liked to practice calligraphy against textbooks since she was a child. Now is the time when simplified and traditional fonts are used alternately. She uses the original owner's handwriting and style, which is still somewhat different from her own, but it is not a big problem.

Su Xiaoxiao lightly pressed the top of Han Cheng's head with her palm, and said with her eyes bent, "What's wrong? My handwriting looks good, right? It's not printed, it's just that I like to practice calligraphy in front of textbooks since I was a child. become like this.”

"Comrade Su Xiaoxiao, you are really good." Han Cheng learned her tone of speech. He knew that being good means being excellent, and his lover was really excellent, no matter which aspect.

"Practice makes perfect, it's not a skill, you're amazing, you can understand such complex medical terms." Su Xiaoxiao got closer and realized that the medical book he was reading was in English.

There are so-called specializations in the arts. Although she graduated from graduate school in her previous life and is fluent in English, listening, speaking, and writing, she cannot understand these professional terms.

"Let's get down to business, do you want to say hello to your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Look, this handprint belongs to our comrade Onigiri, and this one belongs to comrade Doubao. The family of four is short of you."

Han Cheng glanced at her letter, in a very homely chatting tone, and explained the situation here in detail. There is also a short paragraph dedicated to Dabao and Xiaobao. The two sons' handprints are printed in that paragraph. On the side, there are two little people drawn under the handprint, with only a few strokes, but at a glance you can tell which is the rice ball and which is the bean bag.

"Your painting is also very good." Han Cheng sincerely praised the few strokes, which were vivid.

"I can't do the work in the field anymore, and I can't do well in writing and painting. My mother wants to clean up me." Su Xiaoxiao joked.

At this time, rural parents all hoped that their children could go to work early to help with work, or marry early to exchange a dowry. Su Xiaoxiao was lucky, only her parents insisted on letting her study.

In a few more years, she won't let them down.

Han Cheng's characters are the same as his people. They are firm, flowing, vigorous and powerful. They form a sharp contrast with her beautiful and graceful characters. They look really good together.

Han Cheng wrote very simply, say hello, praise Su Xiaoxiao, let the two elders take care of their health, and finally sign their own name, Su Xiaoxiao's first complete family letter in his life is freshly released.

It was the first time that Han Cheng saw such a letter from home, and he said, "It's better than the prints in the army's propaganda column."

Su Xiaoxiao became more and more satisfied as she looked at it. She had to let her mother put mothballs on it for safekeeping. After several decades, she would take it out and look at it. It was definitely the most precious memory.

"I'll buy some of our local specialties tomorrow and send them back together," Han Cheng said.

"Yeah." Su smiled and nodded.

This man is so thoughtful. She had this plan originally. If the logistics at this time were not too slow, she would still want to send some persimmons back, but just think about it, it will definitely be broken on the way.

Su Xiaoxiao was happy and brought her face to Han Cheng.

The faint fragrance came, and Han Cheng didn't know what to do. Su Xiaoxiao tapped on his little pear vortex.

Han Cheng remembered that she often kissed the child's face, and kissed himself. He suddenly realized that he closed his eyes and gently touched her face.

Su Xiaoxiao was amused, he was the father of two children, yet he was so innocent, he kissed his face wickedly, and said, "Good night, I'll make breakfast tomorrow" before holding his own. The letter went out happily.

Han Cheng looked at her brisk back, and the curvature of the corners of his lips never went down.

Early the next morning, Han Cheng and Su Xiaoxiao got up almost at the same time, ready to go shopping early.

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, and her smile was as warm as the sun that just jumped out of the sea, "Morning, Comrade Hancheng."

"Good morning." How can there be such a laughing lesbian, it's hard to think about being in a bad mood, Han Cheng thought to himself.

Hancheng started the fire, and Su Xiaoxiao prepared to spread a simple egg cake. In fact, it was very simple. Just stir the flour eggs and shrimp skin into a paste and put it in the pot to cook. The shrimp skin was sent by Zhou Yuhua. Not enough, otherwise it will be delicious.

Conditions are limited, flour, eggs and shrimp skin are already very good.

Su Xiaoxiao thought of the family members in Su's village again. Their lives were much more difficult, and she didn't know if her mother listened to her. Don't always think about saving money, and make sure to cut meat several times a week to eat.

She repeated it again in the letter, and she would not know if her mother listened to it or not.

There is one thing that Su Xiaoxiao can't understand. Her elder brothers and sisters-in-law have wages, as well as meat and food stamps. Although it is not too much, it is still possible to buy some meat and vegetables for the family every week. I only bought some when I came back from the holiday. Listening to her mother's intention, the big brother will give the family a little money every month, and I don't know how much.

Probably also because the eldest brother and the second brother split up, and they went out and took the parents and the second brother as relatives.

In fact, with such a big family, how can there be no contradictions, even if Su Xiaoxiao herself, she will be relatively partial to Xiaobao.

Su Xiaoxiao, who has been salted fish for nearly 30 years in her last life, actually wanted to quickly reform and open up to start a career and make life easier for her parents and relatives. She knew her mother's temperament and used Hancheng's money to supplement her mother's family. Certainly not.

"It's going to be mushy."

The man's voice brought Su Xiaoxiao back to reality, she actually lost her mind, and quickly turned the egg pancake over.

"Han Cheng, if I were to go to work, what would be an easier job where I could take care of my two cubs and earn money?" She recognized herself, she was still the salted fish, and the two I have never worked in my life, and the first thing that comes to my mind at work is ease.

Han Cheng took a clean bowl and put it aside, looking at her, "Is there not enough money at home?"

She didn't seem to buy anything, except to eat better, and even brought some clothes from Sujia Village at no cost.

"Or what do you want to buy?" Han Cheng asked again.

Su Xiaoxiao shook his head, "The rice ball is very smart. I taught him to count yesterday, but he can learn it in no time. Today I will buy some notebooks and pencils to teach him to write, and then enlighten him for a while to make up for his preschool knowledge, and send it to him. It’s okay to switch classes in the first grade, and then I can go to work. It’s too hard for you to support your family by yourself. Please help me pay attention to the clerical work. It’s best not to work, or you can bring beanbags to work. The beanbags are very good. of."

The rice ball is too smart, there is no need to send it to the preschool to waste a year of enlightenment. If the teacher talks too simple, he may not be able to sit still, or even mischievous, and the teacher may think that the child is disobedient, but in fact he has Maybe it’s just too smart, and simple knowledge can be learned by listening or looking at it. If the teacher repeats it, he gets distracted or doesn’t want to listen. Many smart children may be delayed in this way.

So Su Xiaoxiao planned to enlighten him personally, cultivate his learning interest and habits first, and then it would be easy to handle.

It would be great if Onigiri was a few years older. Maybe she could take the college entrance examination with her and go to the same university, but just think about it. She is still a child at ten years old. No matter how smart Onigiri is, she does not approve of depriving children of children. childhood.

In fact, there is a nursery in the army, but the bean bag is too small to speak.

Su Xiaoxiao's plan is very thoughtful, even if Yang Mei is still there, she may not be able to think about this for the sake of the child.

Han Cheng didn't know what to say anymore. Following her example, he lightly patted her head with his big hand: "The publicity team should like you very much, they lack talents, especially your imagination, edition, book, etc. Young talents who are very good at drawing.”

Su Xiaoxiao had already baked the last omelet and said, "Propaganda team? Is it the same as the art troupe? Or does it belong to the art troupe? Do you need to go to the countryside to perform and give speeches for publicity?"

She doesn't want to go to the countryside to give performances. Su Xiaoxiao was a house girl in her previous life. Although she is not a social fear, if she wants to go to the countryside for a speech and performance, she will still refuse. First, she doesn't like this job. Second, she takes care of it. not home.

Han Cheng thought about it for a while and explained briefly: "They are all a kind of logistical propaganda work, with different divisions of labor. Professional song and dance performances are the responsibility of the art troupe. Are there many brochures and blackboard newspapers? Clerical staff are responsible for designing brochures and blackboard newspapers, and they will be replaced when new publicity tasks are issued.”

When Han Cheng saw Su Xiaoxiao's home letter last night, he was thinking that such a talented person is indeed a bit underpowered to stay at home and take care of children, but he was worried that she was too tired. If she didn't take the initiative to ask for a job, Han Cheng still wouldn't mention it.

Su Xiaoxiao bowed her eyes and nodded, "That's ok, you can try this position, the working hours are flexible, I can go to work with a bean bag, and when he is older, I can teach him to write and draw by the way, but you need It's agreed that I can't stay in the work unit for eight hours a day. My focus still has to be on our small family. I have to take care of you and the children. You are already so busy, we must have someone to focus on the home. The two cubs are so smart, they have to be cultivated well."

Han Cheng felt that Su Xiaoxiao was probably the most peace-of-mind lover in the world. How fortunate he was, the best revolutionary partner could only be like this, no better.

The egg pancake continued to receive unanimous praise from the three men in the family, but Su Xiaoxiao still felt that the egg pancake without shallots was soulless. She felt that the vegetable garden at home could not be planted, but it was necessary to grow shallots and garlic, peppers Can't be missing either.

After breakfast, Han Cheng asked Su Xiaoxiao what food to buy today.

The two of them actually thought of going together, and they had to go shopping together early. Su Xiaoxiao thought about yesterday's head and her head hurts.

"Let's go with the children. I haven't eaten the white radish that Xiaoyu'er's mother brought. Buy a fish stewed radish."

Su Xiaoxiao actually wanted to buy some meat, but seeing that others didn't seem to eat it like this, she asked Han Cheng: "Han Cheng, is this a big fish in our family? Will it be reported that life is too corrupt?"

The period dramas and chronological texts Su Xiaoxiao have read are always reported, and she is not very sure about the definition of corruption in this era.

Han Cheng shook his head: "It's not that serious. I don't steal or rob. My salary and bonuses are there. As long as I don't waste food and drink, there will be no problem."

Su Xiaoxiao was relieved: "We'll be divided into two groups when we wait, I'll buy stationery for rice **** and some small bits and pieces, you go buy fish and meat, buy the meat you like, we will eat fish at noon and dinner at night. Meat."

The rice ball disagreed, "Mom, why don't you ask my opinion? I like to eat sweet and sour pork ribs!"

Su Xiaoxiao pinched the smart little guy's face: "Dad is the head of the family, we take turns, buy what Dad likes to eat first, tomorrow it's the turn to buy rice balls, and the day after tomorrow, it's the turn to buy beanbags, so we can ?"

The rice ball nodded: "Yeah, I agree, the bean bag is my choice, I can buy what I like to eat for two days!"

Su smiled and laughed, this cub.

He turned his head and went to discuss with Han Cheng: "Dad, can you have a discussion, buy what I like to eat today, and buy what you like to eat tomorrow? I miss sweet and sour pork ribs so much!"

Han Cheng: "...No." I only ordered meat tickets for a month. I only ate pork ribs yesterday. It is not good to eat too much attention today. Generally, buying fish and meat that does not require meat tickets is not so attractive.

I don't agree if I don't agree, and the rice **** are not annoying. Anyway, I'm very happy to have meat.

Han Cheng was holding the bean bag, Su Xiaoxiao was holding the rice ball, and the family of four came to the vegetable market in a mighty way.

Today is still a crowded day.

The couple went shopping separately.

Su Xiaoxiao first took the rice ball to the supply and marketing agency to buy the stationery he needed for his studies, and let the rice ball choose by himself.

The little guy is so happy, pencil eraser, pencil case... all of them.

The clerk recognized Su Xiaoxiao and asked her, "Your children are not of school age yet? Did you buy these things so soon?"

Su Xiaoxiao touched the head of the rice ball: "I'm small, I'm six years old when I turn the New Year."

The rice ball nodded: "I am already six years old!"

Clerk: "I really can't see that."

A lark-like voice sounded from the side: "Are you a rice ball?"

Su Xiaoxiao and Onigiri turned around at the same time, and saw a tall and beautiful **** dressed in fashionable clothes with lipstick on.

Onigiri's eyes lit up, "Aunt Xue?"

Jiang Xue didn't expect that it was really a rice ball. If she hadn't heard his voice a bit similar, she would have been so thin that she almost couldn't recognize it.

Jiang Xue took him and looked at it: "Why are you here alone? Is it your father?"

"Dad went to buy meat, I'm not alone, I came with my mother." The rice ball answered crisply.

Jiang Xue's face changed slightly: "Mom?"

Cheng Lifang didn't know where it came from, still holding her son who was hit on the head by a rice ball last night, and said, "You just came back from the show, don't you know, I was just about to tell you that Han Cheng remarried. Well, she married a country girl."

Cheng Lifang's voice fell, and Jiang Xue's face became as white as her name at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes, why is there Cheng Lifang everywhere? It seems that Comrade Zhao Xianfeng is not deceiving her. Comrade Hancheng is indeed a sweet tooth, but there are too many lesbians in this military region who like Hancheng.
