Chapter 2 Resentment



After dinner, Zhou Sui asked the eldest and second sons to wash the dishes. He thought it would be a waste if he didn't use up his free sons, so the eldest and second sons obediently went to wash the dishes.

After washing the dishes, the two little guys couldn't stay idle for a moment and ran out to play.

They are not restricted no matter how old they are. Children of this age are even disliked by cats and dogs, so it is normal for them to be restless.

Sanwa was playing alone on the kang, being very well behaved.

Zhou Suisui is also a bookworm in the 21st century. She has read a lot of books and she also has a graduate degree.

Taking care of children every day, eating and sleeping, is really not the life that Zhou Suisui wants.

So she decided to submit an article to the newspaper.

This way you can earn money and have something to do.

Zhou Suisui also knew in her heart that people were saying that she was a lazy woman who never worked and relied on Gu Jingheng for support.

The original owner was indeed like this, but Zhou Suisui in the 21st century was not.

Her life purpose is to not rely on men, but to love herself, be strong and self-sufficient.

So she had to find something to do.

He got to work right away and sat at his desk for the whole morning.

According to the current situation, the articles she wrote are all very red and very relevant to the current situation.

I plan to go to the county town tomorrow to try my luck, and if it goes well, I'll continue writing.

It was almost noon, and Zhou Suisui planned to make lunch.

It's summer now, and it's very hot during the day. I have no appetite, so Zhou Suisui plans to make cold noodles.

Zhou Suisui is from Northeast China, and the place he came from is also Northeast China.

Soak the cold noodles, go to the garden behind to pick two cucumbers and tomatoes, cut them into strips and slices, and while this is going on, fry some peanuts.

Put the cold noodles in a pot of cold water and cook them until done, then take them out and rinse them with cold water. Zhou Suisui has already prepared the sauce.

Each person has a bowl and sprinkle some coriander at the end.

The eldest and second child also came back at this time.

Nowadays, children don’t need to be called to eat. After all, food is precious and no one will leave any food for others.

"Wow, these noodles are so delicious!" Erwa started to chatter.

"If it tastes good, eat more." Zhou Suisui responded indifferently.

I made tomato and egg noodles for Sanwa at noon, and cooked the noodles a little finely.

Originally, the eldest and second children wanted to eat the third child’s noodles, but they kept silent when they saw the cold noodles.

After all, cold noodles are delicious, so Zhou Suisui didn’t put boiled eggs in them.

Nowadays, eggs are a precious food in every household, and eating one a day is already a luxury.

Zhou Suisui’s family doesn’t raise chickens or ducks, so they buy eggs because the original owner thinks they have a strong smell.

I don’t like it and can’t raise it.

So we only grow some vegetables in the garden behind our house, not much else.

After lunch, Zhou Suisui locked the door and took the three children to Gu's house.

"My eldest grandson is here, come to grandma quickly." Seeing that her eldest grandsons were so happy, Mother Gu immediately hugged the eldest and second grandsons in her arms.

Zhou Suisui put Sanwa on the kang and said to Gu's mother, "Mom, I'm going to the county town tomorrow. Please take care of these three children. I'll be back in the afternoon. I've brought their food and put it in the kitchen."

"Well, what's the big deal about my own grandson eating here? There's no need to take it back. Your father and I are not old enough to do it."

"Mom, we still have my eldest and second sisters-in-law at home. Keep it. I don't want my second sister-in-law to have any opinions. It's better to live a quiet life."

After hearing this, Mother Gu no longer refused. She knew very well what the second son's family was like.

The next morning after breakfast, Zhou Suisui sent the three children to Gu's house and rode his bicycle to the county town.

That’s right, there was a bicycle in Gu Jingheng’s betrothal gift.

Bicycles are rare nowadays. The Zhou family’s elders felt sorry for their daughter and let Zhou Suisui take all the betrothal gifts away.

Zhou Suisui was also very happy because he didn't have to squeeze into the ox cart with the villagers.

If I had known that the ox cart was a place of trouble, Zhou Suisui would not have wanted to get involved.

Neither Zhou Suisui nor the original owner could learn to scold like a shrew.

Zhou Suisui rode his bike to the county town in half an hour.

She first went to the post office to mail the manuscript, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

You wouldn’t know until you see it, but the supply and marketing cooperatives at that time had very few things.

Being used to the dazzling array of goods in modern supermarkets, it is really hard to get used to seeing this old supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhou Suisui didn’t plan to buy anything, he just wanted to see what he could take out conveniently.

Another thing is that I don’t have any money right now.

The original owner’s way of raising children is that no matter how sweet the life is, it cannot be sweet for the children, and no matter how hard the life is, it cannot be hard for herself.

In Zhou Suisui's opinion, the original owner was not very good at raising the child, but she was the biological mother after all, so she didn't abuse the child.

Therefore, the allowance that Gu Jingheng sent every month was basically gone.

All kinds of things like vanishing cream, clam oil, and bragi leather shoes are in my wardrobe.

Zhou Suisui could sense the original owner's emotions, and the original owner had resentment towards Gu Jingheng.

I thought I had married a lucky couple, but in the past few years I have been feeling like a widow, a girl taking care of three children and dealing with a lot of household chores.

Zhou Suisui could also understand it very well. Although Gu Jingheng was an excellent soldier, this could be seen from the allowance he sent every month.

But he is not really a good son, husband or father.

Perhaps this is the helplessness of soldiers, but as his wife it is really hard not to blame him.

Now that I have become his wife, I really don't have a good impression of this cheap husband.

Zhou Suisui walked around and found an empty corner, then took out two pounds of pork belly, one pound of pork ribs, three pounds of eggs and one pound of taro cake.

You can’t get meat unless you come to the county town, and eggs are consumed quickly at home because we eat them every day.

Zhou Suisui put all these things into the cloth bag he had prepared.

She planned to go to a state-owned restaurant to see the world. It was said that the food in state-owned restaurants in this era was very delicious.

When we arrived at the restaurant, Zhou Suisui ordered a plate of braised pork, a plate of mapo tofu and a bowl of rice.

The cashier's attitude was neither good nor bad. Zhou Suisui felt that it was not as scary as described in novels.

After all, who isn't a psychopath and would give others a cold shoulder for no reason every day?

I paid and returned to my seat and waited for less than twenty minutes.

I took a bite and it was just average.

Not sure, try again.

Sure enough, it still requires technology and hard work.

Zhou Suisui felt that because there was not enough seasoning, the food was not as delicious as what he had eaten before.

However, in this era, this braised pork is considered a luxury that ordinary people cannot afford.

The Mapo Tofu is also okay. Zhou Suisui thinks his is better than theirs.

The braised pork was too greasy and Zhou Suisui couldn't eat it after just two bites.

Looking at the leftover food on the table, Zhou Sui Sui took out two aluminum lunch boxes from the space with the help of a cloth bag.

This thing is very common nowadays. Just pack up these dishes and leave.
