MTL - Seventy Couple’s Daily Routine-Chapter 104 I miss you
Because Zhang Lan's cooking skills are good and her work is agile, after discussing with Zong Shao, Lin Wei decided to use her and let her start work the next day.
It was said that she would start work the next day, but in fact Lin Wei and Zong Shao watched it for three days to make sure that she was okay with her work and that the two children didn't hate her, so they decided on the person.
After the babysitter was confirmed, Zong Shao moved a single bed from their head's house the next day.
Knowing the origin of the bed, Lin Wei asked, "Why did you borrow the bed to go to your regiment leader?"
Zong Shao said: "I had dinner with those people in the camp at noon, and asked them who had a single bed, but none of them had any. The head of the regiment just heard that they had an empty bed, and they could lend me and let me go at night. His house moved, so I went."
"Your regimental commander went to your camp?" Lin Wei asked.
"He came to our camp today to guide the training." Zong Shao stood in the room and looked at the room, considering where to put the bed. After watching the meeting, he asked, "Can you move the dresser out?"
Their master bedroom is a rectangle. The door opens in the middle of the long wall. The bed they sleep in is placed on the right side of the door, and there are bedside tables on each side of the bed. The dressing table is placed on the left-hand side by the corner of the wall. Opposite the window is also placed on the corner of the wall. There is a bookshelf next to the wardrobe.
In this way, the newly moved single bed can indeed only be placed against the wall between the dresser and the wardrobe, but the gap between the two is not wide enough. The single bed can be placed, but after putting it in Lin Wei definitely couldn't sit in front of the dresser and brush her hair and wipe things.
"Move the dresser by the door, and put the bed against the wall."
Zong Shao pondered: "If you put it like this, the door panel may hit the dresser when you enter the door."
Lin Wei said, "It's better than not being able to open the closet door. That's it, it's only a few months anyway."
Hearing what Lin Wei said, Zong Shao moved the dressing table out to the door, and then went out to bring in the bedside beds and bed boards that were piled up in the corridor.
First put the bedside bed, and then put the bed board up. After Lin Wei took a look, the originally spacious master bedroom suddenly became crowded. But this is also impossible, the one who needs a nanny to live at home is her.
Lin Wei said, "I'll go get some water and wipe the bed."
"I'll go." Zong Shao said, and went out past Lin Wei.
Although the single bed in Zong Shao's house was not slept for a long time, and there was a layer of ash on it, the wooden bed was easy to wipe, two or three times was enough. There is no need to worry about making the rest of the bed. He will not go to sea recently, so Zhang Lan will do it himself.
However, when he came up after taking a shower, he saw the extra single bed in the master bedroom, his face was full of surprises, and he discussed with Lin Wei whether he could sleep on it at night.
"Why do you want to sleep on this?" Lin Wei asked.
"I want to sleep in the same room with my mother, but my father won't let me sleep in the same bed with my mother, so I can sleep on the new bed." It was pitiful.
Zong Shao couldn't help but say, "When will I not let you sleep in the same bed with mother?"
Clearly and confidently counted: "Yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, it's all!"
Zong Shao choked, thinking I didn't want you to sleep in the same bed? I don't want you to sleep in the same room as your mother. Although his daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, the couple can't do much at night, but they still have to talk privately from time to time, okay?
Lin Wei held back a smile and said, "Okay, you don't need to sleep in a single bed. You and your brother have slept with Mom and Dad at night."
"Can you?" Star Xingyan asked.
Lin Wei nodded and looked at Zong Shao again. Under the watchful eyes of his wife and children, after a moment of silence, he nodded sternly.
…
Although Zhang Lan worked very hard, Zong Shao was still not at ease when he went to sea at the end of the month.
However, he has always been clear about priorities, and even if he misses his family, he is still very serious when it comes to doing business. It's just that before going to bed at night, I can't help but take out the picture of my daughter-in-law and look at it.
Zhou Jianhai, who lived in the same room, didn't think about his daughter-in-law that much. Originally, he was an old husband and wife, and it wasn't the first time he went to sea, so there was nothing to worry about.
But at a glance, he saw the photo that Zong Shao was holding in his hand, and his three-point concern was also a seven-point, so he also picked up the photo and looked at it.
So when Zhou Jianhai came home and saw Deng Xiangyun, he felt that he was so excited that tears were about to come out.
Deng Xiangyun, who was at a loss, said, "You... did something happen to you when you went to sea this time?"
"It's alright."
"Then why do you keep holding me?"
"It's just that it took a long time to go out this time. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you."
Deng Xiangyun thought, it's not like you haven't been out for a long time before, and you haven't seen you come back thinking about me so much, and looked at Zhou Jianhai suspiciously.
But Zhou Jianhai was a little sticky the day he first came back, but he was fine the next day. Seeing that he didn't seem to have something in his heart, Deng Xiangyun put the matter on hold.
…
On the first night Zong Shao came home, he hugged his daughter-in-law and took good care of him. Of course, there were many things he didn't dare to do. Now he was more careful than Lin Wei, and at most he held his wife with his hands.
After it was over, Lin Wei urged Zong Shao to fetch water and she wanted to wash her hands.
Naturally, Zong Shao didn't say anything else. He happily went to get the water, and brought the soap up. He personally served Lin Wei to make the soap, and then he touched Lin Wei's hands both inside and out.
It's strange to say that Lin Wei has been with the army for more than a year now. Before she became pregnant, the couple had done a lot of shameless things. She was just a little shy at first. So shy.
But I don't know if it was because I had been vegetarian for too long, or for some other reason. Just being touched by him, Lin Wei couldn't help blushing and heartbeat. She turned her head and asked, "Are you alright?"
"All right."
Zong Shao squeezed Lin Wei's hand into the clear water, and rubbed her carefully.
What is this called!
Lin Wei couldn't help but say, "My hands will peel off if I wash them again."
"That's great." Zong Shao let go of Lin Wei's hand and said without changing his face.
He picked up the damp towel on the side, wrapped Lin Wei's hand in it, wiped it clean, got up and walked to the dressing table, picked up the clam meat, sat back on the bed, opened it, made some with his fingers, and gave it to Lin Wei wipes her hands.
The skin on Lin Wei's hands is not as delicate as her face. When she was seven or eight years old, she would help Lin's mother with her work. She cooked meals during the summer vacations of junior high school and high school. .
After getting married, it was better. Although she often had to cook, she asked Zong Shao to buy her vanishing cream and clam oil, and he never squeaked. Not to mention her mother-in-law, the first clam oil she used to wipe her hands was given by her mother-in-law.
Not only clam oil, she used an eyebrow pencil to paint her eyebrows and bought lipstick to apply her lips, all of which she learned from her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law often said that women should know that they feel sorry for themselves and support her to spend money on themselves.
After applying the clam oil, Zong Shao didn't rush down to pour water, and asked Lin Wei how the family was doing during this time.
"Very good, Zhang Lan works very hard." Lin Wei said.
Although Lin Wei is not lazy, she has to go to work and take care of the child during the semester. Even before she became pregnant, she actually didn't have much thought about cleaning up every now and then. At the beginning, it was done once a week, and it gradually became a half-monthly cleaning. Before she became pregnant, it was basically a local cleaning, and Zong Shao was taken to do a general cleaning once a month.
After she became pregnant, she became even more slack. Not only she was slack, but Zong Shao was also slack. Basically, it was enough to not look dirty or messy.
Zhang Lan did a very good job at the end. Although Lin Wei said that she cleans once a week, and the house is usually not messy, she can basically do the cleaning every two or three days.
Zong Shao nodded and asked, "Are you used to sleeping in the same room with her?"
"It was a little uncomfortable at first, but I'm almost used to it now."
Zhang Lan has the habit of grinding her teeth when she sleeps, and her voice is not loud, but it sounds a bit obvious in the dead of night.
But Lin Wei is not the kind of person who is particularly picky. She also lived in a school dormitory in junior high and high school. At that time, there were more people living in the dormitory, and it was more lively to sleep at night. At first she was always insomnia, but slowly she got used to it.
It's just that Zong Shao has always been sleeping very well, and Ruirui snores occasionally, but it's basically when they're tired from playing, or when they have a cold and have a bad nose. Most of the time, they sleep very quietly.
Therefore, Lin Wei was a little uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of a molar in the room, but Zhang Lan's voice was much smaller than when she lived in the dormitory, so she got used to it within two days.
Zong Shao nodded and put the water that Lin Wei used to wash his hands on the ground. He didn't plan to go downstairs, he went to bed and hugged Lin Wei, asking, "Did you miss me during this time?"
Lin Wei raised her eyes and looked at Zong Shao in surprise. He had never asked such a question before when he came back.
Zong Shao didn't feel that his question was abrupt, so he lowered his head and urged, "Huh?"
"What about you?" Lin Wei asked back.
Zong Shao said, "I miss you very much."
Lin Wei's reaction was similar to that of Deng Xiangyun. She also reached out and touched Zong Shao's forehead. She didn't feel a fever, and asked, "Did you encounter something wrong when you went to sea this time?"
Zong Shao: "..." It's confirmed, his daughter-in-law didn't think about him.
…
Like last year, the temperature on Yazhou Island seldom dropped until late October in Dujia.
Although it was still in the 20s, Lin Wei was afraid of catching a cold, so she packed tightly every day, wearing long-sleeved trousers.
The pants are made by Zhang Lan. As the months increase, her belly is getting bigger and bigger. The old pants can't be worn anymore, so they can only make new ones.
Because she has to go to work and teach the children, and has a big belly, she doesn't have the energy to make pants, so she originally planned to find someone else to make pants. But after Zhang Lan heard about it, she said that she could make pants and that the clothes on her body were made by herself, and Lin Wei handed it over to her.
Of course, Lin Wei didn't let her make pants in vain. After the pants were made, she was paid a few extra dollars from the monthly salary, which was considered as a labor fee.
Zhang Lan was reluctant to ask for it at first. She felt that she made the pants during working hours, and Lin Wei paid her a salary, so she should not ask for labor fees.
But Lin Wei said that this was outside her job duties, and insisted on giving the money, and later handed over Mingming Ruirui's clothes and pants to her.
Although the trousers made by Zhang Lan are not as good as those bought in the supply and marketing agency, they are not too bad. The workmanship is also meticulous, which is stronger than those made by Lin Wei.
In the past, Lin Wei made clothes for Mingming Ruirui, mainly to save money, and ready-to-wear clothes were much more expensive than those made by herself. If it is clear that Ruirui's height is fixed, she is willing to spend the money, it is still worthwhile to wear a dress for a few years.
But when they are growing up, even if the clothes are looser, they will only wear them for a year at most, and later the sleeves and trousers will be short, so it is not very cost-effective to buy ready-made clothes.
Anyway, the two children don't choose clothes to work, especially after getting to know Deng Xiangyun, the brothers have long been at the forefront of the trend of children in the family area. They prefer clothes made by Lin Wei to the ready-made clothes sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Let Zhang Lan make clothes, although there is also a manual fee, but the cost is much cheaper than the manual fee for the ready-made clothes minus the fabric. Moreover, Lin Wei's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Although the children's classes have been stopped, the school classes will continue. She really doesn't have so much energy to make clothes for the children, so she is naturally willing to spend money for Zhang Lan to do it.
Zhang Lan is also willing to make clothes for the two children. A fool will refuse anything that can make money.
When Zhang Lan's autumn clothes for the children were completed, the temperature on Yazhou Island dropped a little, and Mother Lin also set off from home to Yazhou Island.
The day Mother Lin arrived was Wednesday. Because the supply ship arrived at the port in the afternoon, Zong Shao took an afternoon off and drove with Lin Wei to pick up people.
Seeing her daughter come to pick her up with her belly stretched out, Mother Lin couldn't help but mutter a few words in her heart: "I remember the way when I came back, so I can find it myself, how can I use you to pick me up with a big belly? ?"
"Don't worry, I didn't walk, Zong Shao drove here." Lin Wei said.
But Mother Lin said, "What can I worry about? It's Wednesday, Xiao Zong, you don't have to go to the camp?"
"I asked for an afternoon off," Zong Shao said.
"Look, it's not that I can't find the way. If you don't come, I'll find it myself. There's no need to ask for leave. You even apply for a drive here. What a waste of money." Cheap is money.
Lin Wei couldn't resist, looked at Zong Shao and asked him to tell her mother.
Zong Shao had to explain: "The main reason is that the road is a bit long. You see, it's quite fast to drive. It's at least half an hour to walk. It's a waste of time. Obviously Ruirui also wants to see you earlier."
When her son-in-law mentioned her two grandchildren, Mother Lin's attention was quickly diverted: "Why didn't Mingming and Ruirui come?"
"They are waiting for you at home." Zong Shao opened the car door and let Mother Lin get in the car.
After getting in the car and sitting up, Mother Lin looked at Lin Wei's belly. Because it was a single child, her belly was not as big as when she was pregnant with Ming Ruirui. But it's not too small, and you can see the bulge in loose clothes.
Mother Lin asked, "Is the child well-behaved? Did it bother you?"
Although Mother Lin didn't name any child, seeing her looking at her belly, Lin Wei guessed it and said, "It's okay to make trouble, but its activity time is not the same as ours, and it likes to move at night."
"Children are like this. They haven't been born yet, so how can they tell the difference between day and night." In fact, even if they are born, it's hard to tell the difference between a few months old and they all eat, sleep, sleep, and eat. Thinking of this, Mother Lin said, By the way, I made a few clothes for the child, and your second sister-in-law also made one, and I will show you later."
"Why did the second sister-in-law also make clothes?" Lin Wei asked.
"Before she gave birth to Niuniu, you sent so many things back. Now that you have a child, she should be dressed as well."
Speaking of this, Mother Lin couldn't help but sighed in her heart that it made sense to marry a wife and a virtuous person. Although after Lin Wei joined the army, she often sent things to her daughter, but every time Lin Wei sent back letters, it was because She had a lot of money and only sent back more and more good things, not just those for her granddaughter.
But the eldest daughter-in-law was not satisfied. She felt that when she gave birth to her son, Lin Wei's gifts were not so generous and they were treated differently. But she also didn't think about it, Lin Wei was not married when she gave birth to the child, and only served as a scorekeeper in the brigade.
Besides, the things Duo Linwei sent back this year were not completely useless by their family.
But she just couldn't see clearly. This time Lin Wei gave birth to a child, and the second daughter-in-law prepared new clothes for the child. Not only did she not express it, but she also complained that she came to take care of her daughter Yuezi.
Get used to her!
But Mother Lin thought about these words in her heart, and didn't say it to spoil the fun. Anyway, the daughter is far away from home, and she may not meet with the eldest daughter-in-law once in a few years.
Besides, Zong Shao has a promising future. He has become a deputy battalion commander at this age, and his future will definitely not be bad. The relationship with my sister-in-law has really been frozen, and it is not necessarily who will regret it in the future.
Thinking of this, Mother Lin put the bad eldest daughter-in-law behind her and continued to chat with her daughter-in-law.
