Chapter 94 We are husband and wife
Hearing this, Wang Chunmei's lips curled up in a faint sneer, but her words came out in a gentle voice.
"Your father is busy repairing the roof and has no time to eat. Let's eat quickly so we can help him."
Zhang Xiaohua felt that something was odd, but couldn't tell why.
After sitting down nervously, she watched her mother make her a bowl of thick porridge, and then make herself a bowl of the same thick porridge.
Now, Zhang Xiaohua really believed what others said secretly. Her mother might have lost her brain and become a changed person.
Otherwise, why would she make such thick porridge for her?
In the past, wasn’t it only her father who could eat this kind of porridge?
"Silly child, why are you looking at me? Eat quickly." As she said this, Wang Chunmei picked up a piece of salted fish and put it into her bowl.
Zhang Xiaohua was so shocked that she was speechless.
Finally, at her mother's urging, Mumu picked up the bowl and ate the porridge.
The salted fish in the bowl smelled delicious and was her favorite, but she never dared to touch it before. She would always quickly finish the watery porridge and leave.
Now I finally got to eat the salted fish I had been craving for, and it was indeed delicious.
Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to think about why her mother did this. She just carefully tasted the delicious food in her mouth.
Maybe, I won’t be able to eat it tomorrow.
Wang Chunmei ate the first meal she cooked and felt it was even more delicious than the delicacies she had eaten in her previous life.
Wang Chunmei felt very happy that this was the first time she went against the teachings she had received for more than 20 years and ate her meal without waiting for her "husband".
After the mother and daughter finished their meal and cleared away the dishes, Zhang Xinrong finally repaired the roof and came down.
As soon as I entered the kitchen, there was a salted fish and a bowl of sweet potato porridge on the table.
At first glance, it looked nothing special, but upon closer inspection, the salted fish was simply steamed, and it was not at all the smell of fried salted fish that he smelled on the roof.
Zhang Xinrong frowned, picked up the bowl on the table and started eating.
But after taking a few bites, I realized that the sweet potato porridge, which looked like it was made of rice, was actually made of sweet potatoes except for the little bit of rice on top.
Zhang Xinrong: …
That night Shen He only repaired one room, a kitchen and a shower room. Before dawn the next day, he led his troops to the village to deal with post-disaster matters.
There is actually nothing to do. The losses were already tallied up yesterday.
Almost no house on the entire island was spared.
The lucky ones had walls that were still intact and all they had to do was repair the roof, but the unlucky ones had walls that collapsed.
Even worse is that the houses near the sea were directly washed down by the waves.
The house was full of signs of being flooded by sea water.
Even though they had used large stones to weigh down the things that could not be taken away from home, a lot of them were still blown away.
Many fishing boats anchored in the sheltered harbor were also damaged.
With such heavy losses on Pingzhou Island, it goes without saying that Lianning County is not much better off.
There is no telling when shipping will resume.
In the past, if a typhoon hit, the ship would have to stop sailing for a week.
The typhoon is so strong now, and we don’t know how long it will last.
For a moment, everyone on the island felt heavy-hearted.
If ships cannot sail, the vegetables on the island will be gone.
Although they can fish, no one can stand the long-term lack of vegetables!
Here, Shen He is leading soldiers to help the disaster victims on the island.
On the other hand, Su Ranran was not idle either.
On the second day after the typhoon, I cleaned the house, rinsed the clothes that were wet by the rain, and hung them up to dry.
In the afternoon, Shen He returned home drenched in sweat, but he did not have time to rest and continued to repair other houses in the house.
Su Ranran felt sorry for her man's hard work, so she used the space spring water to cook fish soup for him for dinner.
The fish was brought back by Shen He.
Not surprisingly, the soup became more delicious after adding space spring water, but Shen He was obviously absent-minded and looked like he was worried about something.
"What's wrong?"
Su Ranran poured him another bowl of soup and said something caring.
Although she knew that the damage caused by this typhoon was huge, she had no clear idea of what the damage was.
Plus, she had been cleaning her own house all day, so she had no idea what was going on outside.
"It's nothing, don't worry."
His wife was already pregnant, and Shen He didn't want her to worry about these things. "Come and eat fish."
As he said this, he picked the fish for her out of habit.
How could Su Ranran not understand his thoughts?
But as a wife, if she only knows how to enjoy his favor but cannot share his distress, what has she become?
"Shen He."
Su Ranran put down her bowl and chopsticks, her face looking a little serious.
Shen He paused in his movements, and when he raised his head, he met her serious eyes.
"We are husband and wife." Su Ranran opened her red lips, her soft voice full of solemnity, "We will spend the next few decades together. I hope I can be the partner who can share your joy and sorrow, instead of just hiding behind you."
Hearing this, Shen He was shocked.
The dark circles under her eyes yesterday morning flashed through her mind again.
He felt sorry for her and temporarily set up a rest room for her, but she chose to fight the typhoon with him.
Just like now, she sat in front of him and told him with a firm look that she hoped to be a partner who could share the good and bad times with him.
At this moment, Shen He suddenly felt extremely fortunate.
Fortunately, she changed her mind that afternoon and was willing to stay with him.
Otherwise, he may never know what kind of love he has lost.
A surge of scalding heat suddenly filled my heart.
"Ranran, thank you."
He didn't say what to thank him for, but Su Ranran's eyes softened.
"So... can you tell me now?"
"Yes." Shen He nodded. "The supply of vegetables will be cut off in two days, and we don't know when the ships will be able to sail again."
Although he had applied for supplies before the typhoon, the time was too short and he couldn't transport much.
Plus, greens aren’t easy to preserve, so it would be good if they could last another two days.
This is indeed a difficult problem.
Su Ranran herself had countless vegetables, but she couldn't take them out directly.
Suddenly, Su Ranran remembered a book she saw in the space a few days ago.
There is a kind of green vegetable that should be able to cope with the current predicament.
It only takes about ten days from sowing to growing to the length of a finger. After one crop is cut, a new crop will grow the next day.
After hearing her description, Shen He also became interested, "What kind of vegetable is it?"
“Water spinach.”
After Su Ranran finished speaking, she saw that he looked confused and suddenly fell silent.
Forgot they're not called that.
“It’s water spinach.”
Hearing this, Shen He also thought of the green vegetables that were everywhere in their hometown.
"Some people have planted it, but it didn't sprout."
The land here is too salty.
But since Su Ranran mentioned it, she must have been prepared.
“We can do hydroponics directly.”
