Chapter 72 Two Babies
In the family courtyard, Su Ranran was still immersed in sleep.
In her dream, two white and tender little balls were walking towards her with their arms open, staggering.
As he walked, he called "Mom" in a baby voice.
Su Ranran's heart melted by the cuteness. She looked at this one, then at that one, and didn't know which one to hold first.
The two little guys probably waited for a long time but didn't see their mother hug them, so they started crying at the same time with their mouths smothered.
Su Ranran was startled. Just as she was about to reach out to pick up the two babies, she heard someone calling her.
"Wife, wake up."
The deep voice seemed to be in the sky and also in her ears. Su Ranran was confused for a moment about which side was the dream.
My eyelids moved, and a swollen and sour feeling came over me.
Before she could even open her eyes, that magnetic voice came again: "Get up and have breakfast before going to bed."
Hearing this, Su Ranran slowly came back to her senses. When she opened her eyes, she saw a man in military uniform.
It was obvious that he had just returned from the army.
"What time is it?" Su Ranran's voice was still a little hoarse.
Looking at the red and swollen eyelids on her pink and white face, Shen He felt so distressed.
"It's still early, have breakfast before going to bed."
As he spoke, he reached out and picked the person up from the bed, without putting her down, he carried her straight to the shower room.
There was already a basin of water in the shower room, and her towel in the basin.
After Shen He put the person down, he took the mouthwash cup and toothbrush.
Seeing that he seemed to want to squeeze toothpaste for herself, Su Ranran blushed, and her still hazy mind finally became completely clear.
"I can do it myself."
As she spoke, she reached out to take the toothbrush and toothpaste from his hand.
But Shen He was tall, and when she raised her hand lightly, she caught nothing.
Not only did she not get the toothbrush, she also fell into his arms.
A man's muffled laughter came from her ears, and Su Ranran felt her ears numb.
In the end, I had no choice but to give up on treatment.
I don’t know how I managed to brush my teeth and wash my face, but when I went back, Su Ranran was still being held in her arms.
The man seemed to have some kind of skin hunger and was extremely sticky.
Su Ranran even suspected that his heart had been replaced by someone else.
Otherwise, how could such a serious man do such a thing?
But all doubts disappeared when I met those loving eyes.
Su Ranran enjoyed his love and favor with peace of mind.
After finishing a sticky breakfast, Shen He returned to the army again, but Su Ranran was no longer sleepy.
Thinking of the scene she saw in her dream, she reached out and touched her belly, her eyes incredibly soft.
Are there really two little babies here?
But she was just thinking about it. After all, there was no B-ultrasound in those days, so she couldn't see it even if she wanted to.
In the end, Su Ranran had to put this matter aside.
At the same time, everyone in the courtyard was talking about Su Ranran's dinner party yesterday.
“Is it really that delicious?”
When we heard that Su Ranran treated everyone to a dish of halved pork intestines yesterday, we were all a little worried at first.
But now, seeing that everyone who went to eat yesterday seemed to be relishing the meal, they suddenly became extremely curious.
"It's true. My husband said it tastes better than braised pork."
Such a big basin of brine was all drank up by several grown men.
Seeing that they still looked unsatisfied, Zhong Juhua knew that they definitely didn't eat enough.
When the wives in the family compound heard that Su Ranran cooked pork intestines that were even more delicious than braised pork, they couldn't sit still anymore.
Although my husband has a salary, he can't always eat meat.
Firstly, they had to send half of the few dozen dollars back home, and secondly, they needed coupons to buy meat, so they were useless even if they had the money.
But pig offal is different. No one buys it. Not only is it cheap, but you don’t even need a ticket to buy it.
Immediately, many people ran to ask Su Ran how to make pig offal.
Su Ranran did not hide it and told everyone how she did it.
The wives of the soldiers who had learned this went home happily. They once again praised Su Ranran in various ways.
Listening to their chattering and praising, Zhou Huaqin looked a little unhappy.
Yesterday, out of consideration for her reputation, she didn't even take a single piece of pig intestine with her chopsticks.
But even though she didn't clamp it, she was already very hungry.
Especially when she saw them all scrambling to eat, Zhou Huaqin was even more excited.
If she had known yesterday, she would not have said that. Now seeing that they have all learned how to do it, she is extremely jealous but she is too embarrassed to ask.
"Mom, can we buy some pig intestines to make this dish?"
Her son Pengpeng smacked his lips and looked at her expectantly.
Yesterday, a bowl of specially cut brine was placed on the child’s table. He ate a lot of it and is still very hungry now.
But how would Zhou Huaqin know how to make this thing?
Yesterday she thought the thing was so dark and disgusting that she didn't even look at it.
"Be good, son. Let's not eat that dirty stuff. Mom will make you some braised pork."
Zhou Huaqin is a person who would rather save face than live in misery. Even if she is extremely greedy in her heart, she will still be very tough on the outside.
But how could the child understand this? Seeing that she refused to buy the pig intestines, she burst into tears.
The crying also attracted the attention of the neighbors. After finding out what happened, they all tried to persuade her.
"If your child likes it, just buy it. It's not worth the money."
"That's right, my sister-in-law is a very nice person. If you want to learn, why don't you just ask her?"
Hearing these words, Zhou Huaqin almost vomited blood.
But those who persuaded her were not invited to dinner yesterday, so how could they know what she said at the Shen family yesterday?
Unable to blame anyone else, Zhou Huaqin finally had to vent her anger on her son.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat all day long. How can I not eat you to death?"
As she spoke, she twisted Pengpeng's ears and dragged him home.
The military wives were left looking at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what she was thinking.
Another person who is in the same predicament as Zhou Huaqin is Liu Hong.
After she left halfway yesterday, she waited for a long time but her man didn't come after her.
How could she, who always thought highly of herself, bear this?
She was so angry that she stayed outside feeding mosquitoes for most of the night, but when she saw that he still didn't come to find her, she decided to do something.
Finally, Liu Hong went home angrily and prepared to settle the score, but Yan Yixing had already locked the door and fell asleep.
After being angry all night, I finally managed to catch up on some sleep in the morning. When I woke up, I heard my daughter crying and clamoring for pig intestines.
Liu Hong was furious at that time.
"Yan Xiaoxiao, do you know what pig intestines are? They are the stuff that holds shit. Do you think your mother needs you to eat? Is that all you can do?"
How could Yan Xiaoxiao, who was only three years old, know so much? She only knew that the food last night was delicious.
At this time, she was yelled at by her mother and she burst into tears out of grievance.
For a while, there was a lot of noise in the courtyard, some were happy, some were crying.
