After Chen Jianguo arrived at the base, he specially sent a telegram to Su Xia. After Su Xia received the telegram at her doorstep, she handed the written letter to him with a teasing smile from the postman.

Looking at the back of the postman walking away, Su Xia touched her red cheeks and cursed in a low voice: "You stinky man, you made me look bad! Humph—-"

He then closed the door and went home. As for the eye-catching words on the telegram, "My wife misses you already".

…

Afterwards, she returned to her peaceful life of pregnancy and childcare.

It was the second day of the second lunar month, the day when the dragon raises its head. Su Xia had a simple breakfast in the morning, and then began to take out the pig's head and tail. She first used a red-hot iron to burn the entire pig's hair.

Then wash it carefully, put it into the pot and start cooking.

Xiao Bao squatted beside Su Xia and watched her tidying up the pig's head until the pig's head was put into the pot, and then his curiosity was satisfied.

"Mom, can we ask grandpa and grandma to come over today?"

Just after adding a thick piece of wood, Su Xia washed her hands and thought about stewing it slowly, and then taking the next step after it was stewed into a mushy paste.

After listening to 누꺶宝's words, I looked down at the expectant expression on the little boy's face.

Xiaobao had also been waiting for Su Xia, and as soon as she said she wanted to, she was ready to run out of the old house and call Xiao.

Su Xia pinched 꺶宝's cheeks with both hands and pulled them to the sides, ignoring 꺶宝's deformed face.

"You little bastard, you made your mother suffer, and now you are the one who gets away with it?"

꺶宝 endured the pinching on his cheek and said vaguely: "Mom...no...let's go...together..."

Su Xia immediately let go, "Let's go, it's a good opportunity to go for a walk!" It happened that I hadn't been there once after the separation, and I didn't know what the old house was like now?

As for Xia Laikan who was sent back to her mother's home, the man said that she came back on her own on the third day, and she was completely exhausted when she came back.

He was missing a patch of hair, his face was bruised and swollen, his leg was lame, and the worst thing was that the clothes and pants he was wearing when he was sent there were long gone.

The clothes she wore were simple in shape, and were missing arms and legs, with patches or revealing flesh.

The owner of the old house was shocked at the time because he didn't even have shoes. He was barefoot and his soles were bleeding.

Su Xia felt it was a pity that she didn't see such a shocking scene.

Sizzle—-

Xiaobao looked at his mother curiously, wondering what happened? But he didn't care, and ran excitedly into the main hall of the old house. At this time, only Chen's mother and Xiaoya were left at home, and most of them were working.

Now the whole village has started to plow the land in order to plant spring wheat in a while.

"Grandma, I'm here to call you home for dinner!"

The corner of Su Xia's mouth twitched. Xiao Bao's shout was so soft that she didn't notice that Goudan and Xiaoya had come out. She just saw her and went back to the house embarrassedly.

Su Xia--

She shook her head, it seemed that the two kids were treating her like a monster.

When she went in, Chen's mother was already hugging Zheng and being intimate with her. She also sat on the kang, with her back against Chen's mother's bedding.

"Mom, when will Dad come back?" Mother Chen loved her grandson so much that she looked up at Su Xia.

"It's almost noon, why are you looking for trouble?" Chen's mother was smiling because her grandson said that the family had stewed a pig's head and asked her and her husband to go eat meat.

Su Xia nodded: "I want Dad to help me catch piglets, but I can't go now, right?"

Mother Chen looked at Su Xia's belly, thinking that she would be able to give birth in three months. Looking at the baby in her arms, she hoped to have another grandson to keep the baby company.

"Okay, how many do you plan to catch this year?"

"Let's have four! Otherwise there won't be enough to share!" Su Xia's pigpen can only catch four people, and if there is one more, the pigpen will have to be expanded.

Why--

I sighed regretfully, the place is still too small.

Chen's mother

I don't know why the old lady sighed, but four is four. She can still help anyway.

"Wait until your father comes back and let him catch one. It's just right for me to raise one too!"

Su Xia nodded, then looked at Chen's mother, her eyes rolling around, making Chen's mother feel alert. She always felt that what the old lady said was not a good thing?

Then I heard: "Mom, how much is it for you to raise one? Why don't you raise two?"

The corners of his mouth trembled, and he looked at Su Xia speechlessly, rolling his eyes: "What are you thinking about? What's the smell? Besides, I'm not going to work?"

Su Xia was not angry. She found a comfortable position and asked casually, "Isn't this your place? I want to feed two more. How much do you earn a year? If you don't dare to do it, let me raise them. I will give you money, meat and food when I get home!"

Mother Chen's hand trembled, and she almost hurt Xiaobao. Xiaobao hurriedly said, "Mom, I'm going to go play with Goudan first!"

Su Xia waved her hand: "Go quickly, you're in the way!"

Then he looked at Chen's mother: "How are you, mother?"

Mother Chen couldn't help but frown. She wasn't worried about food and drink, she was just a little scared.

Then she told Su Xia about her concerns.

Su Xia was stunned when she heard this. She immediately sat up straight and looked at Chen's mother: "Is it true? Who said that?"

Mother Chen: "Who else could it be? Captain 꺶. It seems he has already chosen a place!"

Chen's mother got a headache whenever she thought of the news. She didn't know what the higher-ups were thinking. Why were they doing this "educated youth" thing? What could this thing do?

Su Xia blinked, feeling something was unreal. Then she remembered something and began to frown.

"Mom, did the captain say how many chickens and pigs each family can raise?"

Su Xia didn't know about this period of history, how it was stipulated, and how it was implemented. Anyway, she could still remember the main events. Since it started from the rural reconstruction, they were all intellectuals, some of whom had even studied in universities and were professors.

Su Xia couldn't help but feel sorry, these were the top treasures in the country today, it would be a pity if they were gone.

Su Xia couldn't help but clench her hands. Every time she was worried, she would unconsciously clench her hands.

Why--

Then she relaxed and decided to talk about it later. She was just an ordinary person and it would be harder than climbing to the sky if she wanted to change.

"By the way, mother, haven't you told me that it's difficult for me to raise pigs?" She didn't care about chickens, as she couldn't kill them, but she couldn't do that with pigs, as they were her main source of income.

Chen's mother was worried about her, but she didn't know why. She heard that there was a stranger in the village, and her face lost color.

Now I'm worrying about the pigs again. I can't help but despise myself. I'm worrying for nothing.

He rolled his eyes at Su Xia unhappily and said, "Wait until your father comes back?"

Su Xia nodded: "By the way, mother, how are we going to raise my second brother and sister-in-law now?"

Her face was full of excitement from reading gossip, Chen's mother—

"That's it. Anyway, the second brother puts all the money and food in his own hands. Now he goes to work every day, comes home to cook, wash clothes and clean the house. When does he have time to make trouble?"

Su Xia didn't hear the excitement and was so disappointed that she didn't want to talk.

"By the way, Mom, why don't I see Gou Wa?"

Mother Chen curled her lips: "Er Ya, please watch, the third child's room is back to feed the baby, hum - I would like to help, but the first family is unwilling?"

Although Chen's mother looked down on her two daughters-in-law, she was not the kind of mother-in-law who would bully them. Besides, she was happy to help take care of her grandson.

Su Xia looked up at Chen's mother and said, "Mom, are you not treating Gou Wa well? Are your third brother and sister-in-law afraid to let you see it?"

Mother Chen immediately glared at Su Xia. Was she talking nonsense?

"What do you think? When your child comes, will I help you take a look?"

Su Xia laughed secretly: "Are you willing to do that? I have a lot of things to do?"

Chen's mother

She looked at Su Xia angrily. It was true that only she would bully an old woman like her. Even her three sons would not talk to her like that.

Hahaha--

Seeing Chen's mother being frustrated, Su Xia went home happily to look at the pig's head. As for Xiaobao, she came back with Chen's mother and father.

When the parents came home and saw Niu Niu still studying, the corners of her mouth twitched. If she had been so studious back then, she would have been admitted to 985, 211, or even Peking University or Tsinghua University.

Why-

She shook her head and walked towards the kitchen. She might not be cut out for studying.

Let’s continue cooking pig’s head, which I’m good at.

Su Xia hummed a tune, added seasonings to the pot, placed rice on the upper curtain, and covered the pot.

When the rice is ready, you can eat.

After Chen's father came home, he heard Chen's mother say that she wanted to eat pig's head. He excitedly washed his hands and face, and changed into clean clothes, which made Chen's mother disgusted.

"It's just a meal, why change clothes?"

Father Chen glanced at his wife and said, "What do you know? My old man's house is so clean. I went in dirty. Can you still call me for delicious food in the future?"

Chen's mother

Turning around, he washed his hands and face and changed his clothes. Father Chen curled his lips, "Huh—you're still blaming me, aren't you the same?"

The old man heard that the neighbors had cooked pork head meat, so he could only eat his own cornmeal buns with regret.

Xia Lai Di lowered her head to eat. She was now very obedient. Although she was still dissatisfied and wanted to nag, she looked at the man and was scared and shut up.

The fierceness of the Xia family at that time was really impressive!
