MTL - The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs-Chapter 15
The family compound that Su Xiaoxiao imagined should be similar to a modern community, with one gate going in, and then one building after another, one unit by one.
But no, probably because the whole town is a military area and there is no shortage of land, so the family areas are all independent yards. Although it is a bungalow, it is far less luxurious than the several-storey villa where Su Xiaoxiao lived in her previous life. The area is large enough, and the yard alone is estimated to be 180 square meters. Every household has left a plot of land as a vegetable garden. There is a drying rack on the side, a water pump and a sink in the middle, and a place to wash things. In the bathroom, there are corridors on both sides, and there are tiles to cover the head, so you don't have to worry about getting drenched in the rain.
The main house is a standard aircraft type, with a living room in the middle, two symmetrical rooms on the left and right sides, a total of four rooms, and there is no dark room in the square.
Compared to the cramped dormitory that Su Xiaoxiao was assigned to without even a separate kitchen and bathroom, this place can be called heaven.
This is a tailor-made yard for raising cubs, and children can play for half a day without leaving home.
Su Xiaoxiao was too satisfied, and once again felt that she was married to the right person.
It's a pity that her own yard is bare and bare. Su Xiaoxiao looked at other people's yard and was greedy. The only thing that comforted her was probably the persimmon tree at the entrance of the yard, covered with golden fruits, facing the outside. After being picked a lot, there are still a lot of fruits in the courtyard.
Su Xiaoxiao put down the Xiaodoubao, let him go to play with his brother, and asked Hancheng: "Hancheng, do you have anything to eat at home?"
Han Cheng took a week off, and Su Xiaoxiao guessed that there should be no food at home.
"The staple food of rice and noodles is a little, not much, and nothing else." In fact, Han Cheng eats in the army canteen all the year round, and the house has never opened fire at all. This food was bought the day before he left, otherwise the mice would come. gotta starve.
"It's lunch time now. I'll go to the army cafeteria and come back for a meal. I'll go buy some food in the afternoon and come back to cook." Han Cheng said.
The pots and pans at home have not been touched for a year, and they are too dirty.
After unloading his things, Zhao Xianfeng came over and said, "Don't be so troublesome, just bring the children to my house to eat. Our little fish has not seen rice **** in a year. He talks about his rice ball brother every day, and he must miss him very much."
Su Xiaoxiao divided half of all the dry goods prepared for her by Li Yufeng and gave it to Zhao Xianfeng, and said with a smile: "The first meal at home, we want the family to eat at home, so I won't leave you today. When we pack up and bring your little fish over to play, try my craftsmanship by the way."
The soft words blocked Zhao Xianfeng who didn't know where to start when he wanted to refute.
He was not polite to Su Xiaoxiao either, took the things she gave, and gave Han Cheng a thumbs up: "Han Cheng, your daughter-in-law is too powerful, you will designate a wife to be strict in the future."
This "powerful" doesn't have any derogatory meaning, it is a kind of strength that can overcome rigidity with softness, coupled with her sweet and soft smile.
Su Xiaoxiao really redefines Zhao Xianfeng's view of women, and he has to let the tigress of his family interact with her more and study hard.
If Zhao Xianfeng lives in the 21st century, he should know that there is a word called "high emotional intelligence". Su Xiaoxiao does have his own way of dealing with people and things. of.
Before leaving, Zhao Xianfeng picked a bag of persimmons and went home satisfied.
Xiaodoubao lacks nutrition, grows relatively slowly, and is not very stable when walking. In addition, one hand is injured and hangs around the neck, and the other hand is holding a big persimmon, and the center of gravity is unstable and falls several times.
Han Cheng didn't know when he would be able to get his meal back, so Su Xiaoxiao simply soaked him in wheat milk essence and took a nap after drinking it.
I also made a cup for myself and the rice ball.
The rice ball looked at the hot and fragrant slurry in the enamel cup. He didn't eat the persimmons, and his mouth was spitting out. He stared at it with wide eyes. Drink."
In the eyes of rice balls, this is an extremely precious thing. He drank it when he was a child, but in the old witch, only iron eggs can be drunk, and the bigger iron cows can't drink it, so he can only lick the iron eggs and drink the rest.
Su Xiaoxiao sat on the small bench and looked at him, rubbed his head: "Our family is a democratic house, do you know what democracy is? It's good things that everyone can share and share with everyone, such as bean buns and rice balls. There will also be, you do your best to protect your brother, mother thinks you are very good, drink it."
Onigiri sniffed and reached for it, saying "thank you" loudly this time.
The rice ball drank the wheat milk essence in small sips, and looked up from time to time to look at the beautiful stepmother who was always smiling. How can there be such a good stepmother in the world? She must be the little fairy sent by his mother to protect the two brothers.
Han Cheng came back with three lunch boxes full of meals. Su Xiaoxiao did not expect that the food in the cafeteria was quite good. There was a box of rice, a box of vegetarian dishes, and a box of braised pork!
God knows that Su Xiaoxiao has never seen white rice since she crossed over. Her favorite staple food for a southerner is white rice. It's not impossible to add some sweet potatoes, but it can't be to add some rice to the sweet potatoes.
"Hancheng, the food in your cafeteria is really good, but there is also braised pork?"
"I improve my life once or twice a month, and I'm lucky to catch up today." Han Cheng said.
Han Cheng originally thought that the braised pork in the cafeteria was good, but since eating Su Xiaoxiao's, it's not that rare, it's really far from it.
The little rice ball who just finished drinking the wheat milk essence feels that he is the happiest child in the world. With this fairy stepmother, his future life will be very, very good.
He decided to be nice to the fairy stepmother in the future. If he ran away with her anger, the always busy father would have to send him and his younger brother.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know the little Jiujiu in the little rice ball's heart. She took out the bowl she just washed, and first divided the food into a bowl for the sleeping Xiaodoubao, and the rest of the family of three ate together.
The amount of braised pork is not too much. Hancheng didn’t move much. He patronized the grilled rice and vegetarian dishes. This man has the good character of most men in this era. If there is any good thing, women and children are the first, and the last Own.
Su Xiaoxiao put the largest piece of braised pork in his bowl, followed him with his eyes bent: "Eat, you have to be full before you have the strength to help me work."
Han Cheng was stunned for a moment. Since getting married and having children, the good things in the family are all close to the wife and children. The deceased wife will not care whether he is fed and clothed. dishes, and asked him if he was dressed warmly.
The clever little rice ball with braised pork in his eyes and ears listened to all directions and said, "Mom said we are a democratic family, and everyone shares the good things in the family. Everyone has a share. Dad, you can eat it."
After the rice ball was finished, he also took a piece of meat into Hancheng's bowl.
He didn't even notice it himself, and the word "mom" came out naturally.
With mixed feelings, Han Cheng rubbed his son's head: "Okay, let's eat together."
This family, married really well.
Su Xiaoxiao took a bite of the pork belly that she would never touch in her previous life, her eyes half-squinted with happiness, the meat of this era is really delicious to my wife, she is willing to gain ten pounds, she asked Han Cheng: "Han Cheng, in the future We have to have at least one meaty meal every day in our family, don't you object?"
Han Cheng shook his head: "You can decide what to do at home."
After they were full, Xiaodoubao also woke up. Su Xiaoxiao wanted to train him to eat by himself, so he found some old clothes that Hancheng could no longer wear and made a simple bib around his neck. Cut the meat and vegetables into pieces and spread them on the rice, give him a small spoon and let him sit on a small stool and eat it.
The little guy was still at a loss. He has always been feeding his brother, and he eats with his hands. He has never used a spoon.
Su Xiaoxiao tirelessly demonstrated and taught him over and over again. Xiaojia learns things very quickly. He holds a spoon up and down, and half of the sky and half of the sky is spilled on the small wooden table. Laugh and praise.
Su Xiaoxiao applauded: "Cubs are great!"
Xiaodoubao finally showed his first smile.
The little guy has been stunned and has no expression. Looking at his white teeth, Su Xiaoxiao's heart is about to melt. I can't wait to hug him and kiss him wildly. The smile of a human cub is really healing. !
It's a pity that it is not very convenient for Xiaodoubao to hurt one hand. Su Xiaoxiao told him to learn it now, and then you can eat by yourself when the hand is healed.
Xiaodoubao seemed to understand, but waited obediently for Su Xiaoxiao to feed, and meticulously picked up the food dropped on the small wooden table and put it into his mouth.
Raising cubs is easy to raise these days. With material scarcity, it is already a happy thing to be full. Little cubs know that food is precious and there is no problem with feeding.
Su Xiaoxiao feeds Xiaodoubao, Hancheng and the rice ball have already done a good job in the hygiene of the kitchen.
Even a little rice ball with such a big milk baby can really help with a lot of work. Su Xiaoxiao originally thought that it would be good if he didn't make trouble.
Su Xiaoxiao's work is really ordinary. In her previous life, she asked her aunt to do the hygiene at home. She had to sigh that there are really many good qualities of men in this era, and they still start from dolls.
"Hancheng, we still have to go to the vegetable market and the supply and marketing cooperative to prepare the food. Is there any meat at this time?"
Su Xiaoxiao's words really questioned Hancheng. He really didn't go to the vegetable market at this point. When the rice ball mother was still there, she asked her sister to come over to help take care of the children. These things are basically the two sisters. He did it with one hand, he didn't care much about it, and he went there occasionally, before returning to the army in the morning.
Han Cheng shook his head: "I don't know, let's go and have a look first."
Su Xiaoxiao brought the food book and money. Han Cheng carried a big basket and wanted to put the Xiaodoubao in. Su Xiaoxiao shook his head and picked up the Xiaodoubao: "I'll hold it first, I'll talk about it when I'm tired."
The five-year-old rice ball can walk on his own, but he sprained his foot. Su Xiaoxiao asked Han Cheng to hold it to avoid secondary injuries. The family of four was ready to go out to buy.
Just after closing the courtyard door, a **** about the size of Su Xiaoxiao, dressed in floral arrangements and dressed as a little woman shouted from a distance, "Brother-in-law!"
Onigiri pursed his lips, his brows were so wrinkled that he could catch a fly, he hugged Han Cheng's neck and twisted around: "Dad, let's go!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Han Cheng suspiciously, and the rice ball said anxiously, "Mom, my aunt is not good, I don't want my aunt to be a stepmother, I only recognize you as my mother!"
Su Xiaoxiao: "..." What's the situation?
