"Sui Sui, isn't this... a bit too wasteful?" Wang Shuzhen said.
"It's okay, once you do it, you can use it forever."
Since everyone said so, Wang Shuzhen was not a person without judgment, so she naturally didn't say much.
When he arrived at Wang Shuzhen's house, Zhou Suisui found that their house was also very tidy and clean, which showed that the hostess was a person who knew how to manage life.
"Next year, the sewing machine is here, you can use it."
"good."
Zhou Sui Sui sat at Wang Shuzhen's house for an entire afternoon, sewing on the sewing machine. The result was that the curtains for both bedrooms were finished, as were the sofa cushions and backrests. The only thing left was the pillows, which Zhou Sui Sui planned to make when she had time.
"Sister Shuzhen, I'll go back first. It's time to cook."
Wang Shuzhen put down the clothes in her hands, stood up and said, "Okay, it's time for me to cook. You can go back and come to my house tomorrow when you have nothing to do. I think you haven't finished yet."
"Okay, Sister Shuzhen, then I'll be thick-skinned and come back tomorrow." Zhou Suisui said with a smile.
"Hey, what's so shameless about that? But I usually don't lend this sewing machine to anyone, so I don't have to have people come to my house all the time. I like you as a girl, so come over more often when you have nothing to do."
"Okay, thank you Sister Shuzhen." Zhou Suisui went back.
Zhou Suisui found that the eldest, second and third children had not come back all afternoon.
After returning home and putting his things away, Zhou Suisui went downstairs to see what was going on.
There is a place downstairs specifically for children to play. Generally, all the children in the family compound go there to play, and Zhou Suisui was found there.
"Mom, you're here?" Erwa said happily.
"What are you doing?"
"Is it time for dinner, Mom? Let's go back." Big Boy patted his butt and was about to leave.
Zhou Suisui: “…”
After looking around, Zhou Suisui found that there were many children around. The eldest, second and third children got along very well and quickly integrated into the group.
When we got back, the eldest brother was still talking about it.
"We made a lot of new friends today, including Taotao, Guoguo, and Qiangqiang." Big Brother said while counting on his fingers one by one.
Zhou Suisui didn’t know who these children were, so he just listened to them carefully and occasionally asked a few questions.
On the night of his first birthday, I made stewed pork ribs with some vermicelli, the kind of sweet potato vermicelli.
They steamed a pot of steamed buns as the staple food. Now they are having dinner at home, and this pot of steamed buns can be finished in two or three days.
With so many men in the house, there is never enough food for them.
Therefore, some coarse grains are mixed into the fine grains, and this is what Zhou Suisui's family often eats.
After it was done, Zhou Suisui served a bowl of the dish with more meat and less vermicelli and brought it to Wang Shuzhen's house next door.
"Sister Shuzhen, these are the spareribs I stewed tonight. Let me give you some."
"Oh, these are all meat. Take them back quickly. Meat is so precious nowadays. How can I just take them from you?" said Wang Shuzhen.
In fact, her family hasn't eaten meat for a long time. Although her husband is the deputy head of the group, he still has to provide pension for the elderly in the family and send his children to school every month, so money is tight at home.
Last month her mother-in-law fell ill and stayed in the hospital for a while, and their family spent a lot of money.
"Take it. I have to trouble you again tomorrow." Zhou Suisui said.
"You're so polite." Wang Shuzhen was embarrassed to take it.
Zhou Suisui stuffed the gift directly into her hands and went home.
After Gu Jingheng came back, Zhou Suisui asked him.
"We just arrived, do you want to treat us to a meal?"
Gu Jingheng nodded, "It is indeed necessary. I wanted to let you rest for two days, so I didn't mention it."
"If you invite, how many people can you have?"
"We should include the children, so we need two tables," said Gu Jingheng.
Zhou Suisui didn't say anything after hearing this. Two tables were a bit too many.
"I guess Sister Shuzhen and the others will come to help you then. This is a habit, and it's been like this before."
"Okay, I got it."
Whatever you want to do, you have to do it quickly. The next morning, Zhou Suisui took the bus to buy groceries.
After returning home, she started cooking. She planned to make ten dishes, just a little more for each.
After all the ingredients were cut and prepared, Wang Shuzhen and Zhang Xiuxiang came together.
"Sisters-in-law are here, please sit down quickly."
(Military wife, abbreviated as sister-in-law, sometimes called sister and sometimes sister-in-law, the meaning is similar.)
"Why are you sitting? We are here to help you. There are many people here today, and we are worried that you may not be able to handle it." Wang Shuzhen said.
"Yes, yes. Apart from anything else, we still know how to cook. If there is anything you need us to do, you're welcome." Zhang Xiuxiang said with a smile.
"Nothing to help, sisters-in-law."
The two of them went into the kitchen and saw that they had indeed prepared a lot.
The two of them helped to cut the vegetables, while Zhou Suisui cooked by himself.
"Sisters-in-law, I'm the chef today. You can try my cooking skills. Don't snatch the food from me."
"Okay, okay, we won't compete with you." Wang Shuzhen and Zhang Xiuxiang were very happy.
"Sisters-in-law, where are your children? Why don't you bring them here to play with Da Wa and the others?"
"We thought there would be a lot of people here today, so we decided not to bring them here. The children can just eat a bite at home," said Zhang Xiuxiang.
"That won't do. I've prepared a lot of food, enough for the children. Hurry and bring the children over."
Zhang Xiuxiang had no choice but to go home and call her children.
Wang Shuzhen looked at Zhou Suisui and said, "Suisui, there are many people here today, but I see that you have prepared so much meat. It is totally unnecessary and too wasteful. These men are all very rough. Just give them something casually.
When they were on missions before, they were hungry and had nothing to eat, so they even ate tree bark."
Wang Shuzhen is an old military wife and has experienced and seen a lot.
Zhou Suisui said: "I just arrived too. My Gu Jingheng has been in the army for so many years and has been taken care of by everyone. It is only right that we treat him to a meal.
Besides, if you can't even invite me to a meal, you have to eat something good, so this is nothing."
When Zhou Suisui heard that Gu Jingheng had eaten tree bark when he was on a mission before, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Maybe it’s because Gu Jingheng really entered Zhou Suisui’s heart.
Although Gu Jingheng cannot take care of his family or his parents, he is a young man from the countryside with no background. He has reached his current position entirely on his own. You can imagine how much he has paid.
He is so young and already a battalion commander.
In the past few days since Zhou Suisui came, without mentioning others, just Wang Shuzhen has said several times that Gu Jingheng is very outstanding.
Zhou Suisui also feels a little proud and proud in his heart.
Such an outstanding man is hers.
With the help of two people, Zhou Suisui was very skillful and the meal was ready quickly.
