Only a small desk lamp was lit in Cheng Xiao Kui's room.
In an era when all kinds of resources were scarce, even electricity was something ordinary people had to use sparingly.
The small desk lamp had very low battery, only dimly illuminating half the room.
Cheng Chun Kui's face was obscure, half of it shrouded in shadow.
What Si Muyang said was completely different from the information she had received.
As far as she knew, her superiors only gave her instructions to act, and none of the instructions included harming Si Muyang.
At least for now, the higher-ups don't seem to intend to harm Si Muyang.
But if it wasn't her superior, then who was the one who bombed Si Muyang?
She was completely baffled.
She paused briefly, then went out the door, put on her apron, and went to the kitchen to cook.
The night deepened.
Cheng Xiao Kui and Si Mu Yang exchanged a few more words before seeing her older sister, Cheng Chun Kui, walk in carrying a large tray.
Cheng Chun-kui said, "I cooked noodles for Comrade Si, and there's still a lot of broth left. I also prepared some fresh vegetable toppings. Comrade Si's return is just in time; it's perfect for celebratory noodles today!"
A cool towel was placed on Si Muyang's head, taking away some of his excess heat.
A clear mind is good; he actually feels a little hungry now.
He asked, "Happy noodles? Whose happy noodles?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "It belongs to my little sister Qiu Kui! Qiu Kui and Du Ziqiang are officially married."
Originally, it would have taken a long time to book a banquet for them at the hotel, but unexpectedly, Du Ziqiang's father's old comrade-in-arms said that a couple who had originally booked their wedding at the hotel had canceled their banquet and returned their table.
They've been getting along really well these past few days, so they decided to have Qiu Kui and Du Ziqiang get married today.
Si Muyang's expression stiffened slightly. He hadn't expected that Du Ziqiang would be the first among his good brothers to get married!
This is absolutely amazing!
To be honest, none of these good brothers thought highly of Du Ziqiang.
How could a woman like someone who's always scheming to slack off and has absolutely no ambition?
And she's his sister-in-law!
Everyone knows that his sister-in-law is just as capable as Xiao Kui!
He snorted and said, "This kid got lucky! I wonder what kind of good fortune the Du family's ancestors were emitting to allow him to marry Qiu Kui!"
Cheng Chun Kui said with a smile, "This is also Qiu Kui's good fortune. Du Ziqiang treats her so well! Her mother-in-law also treats her very well, giving her gold jewelry and buying her several new outfits."
I buy her new shoes for every season, inside and out! Honestly, it's hard to find a mother-in-law this good these days!
In her opinion, the Du family was really generous. When ordinary families marry off their daughters, the groom's family would buy at most two sets of clothes, and that was only for the outer clothes; the inner clothes had to be bought by the bride herself.
If the bride's family is poor, she will most likely get married wearing old clothes.
Si Muyang said, "It's not that his family can't afford it. Now that he's married a daughter-in-law he likes, he's naturally willing to give more!"
A few outfits are nothing! When we get married, we'll buy dozens of outfits and dozens of pairs of shoes—enough clothes for your entire life!
Cheng Xiaokui glanced at Si Muyang speechlessly, "Why buy dozens of outfits? The fashion trends change every year!"
Am I supposed to wear these clothes ten years from now? Even if I have money, I can't just waste it like this!
Si Muyang said, "I'll do whatever you say. We'll buy whatever you want. If you don't want to buy anything, I'll just give you all the money to keep for yourself."
Cheng Xiao Kui picked up the large bowl from the tray, poured the braising sauce over it, and then added various side dishes.
A large bowl of celebratory noodles was mixed and emitted an enticing aroma.
She helped Si Muyang up and fed him bite by bite.
Si Muyang originally wanted to eat by himself, but he was in such a condition that he didn't even have the strength to lift the bowl. He didn't know if this was his last meal. If his high fever didn't break down tonight and he got a blood infection, he wouldn't make it to dawn.
He simply enjoyed being taken care of by the woman; it felt so good to be cared for.
Cheng Chun Kui felt a pain in her eyes and turned to leave.
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Sister, tell the two young comrades on guard outside to go to the room next door to rest."
I'll take care of Si Muyang tonight, so they don't need to stand guard. They deserve a good rest too.
Cheng Chun-kui said, "Okay, I'll tell them right away."
She went out of the room and explained the situation to the two young comrades. She then led them to the innermost room to rest.
The room was empty, and there was a wooden bed inside.
Cheng Chun Kui rummaged through the closet in her room and found a quilt and a mattress.
Although they weren't new, they were all clean and tidy.
She made up the beds for the two young comrades, fetched hot water for them, took them to the kitchen to eat noodles, and told them to rest early after eating.
The two young comrades were very grateful to Cheng Chunqiu. They hadn't slept for a day and a night and desperately needed to sleep. Moreover, they were afraid that the longer they traveled, the more dangerous it would become, so they hadn't eaten.
Cheng Chunqiu cooked a large bowl of noodles, thinking it would be quite a feast.
Unexpectedly, the two young comrades managed to finish a whole bowl of noodles, as well as all the sauce and vegetables.
After the two young comrades finished eating, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
After tidying up the dishes in the kitchen, Cheng Chun Kui walked past the room where the two young comrades slept and clearly heard snoring coming from inside.
She went to Cheng Xiaokui's room again, brought her a thermos of hot water, and told her and Si Muyang to drink more hot water.
Cheng Chun Kui returned to her room and sat on the bed, quietly listening to the sounds coming from the next room.
