Chapter 166 Husband and Wife Tenderness

"Mom and Dad, please try these clothes." After entering the house, Su He opened the package and took out the clothes he bought.

Mother Gu said, "We have plenty of clothes. You don't have to buy them for us."

Although she said that, she was happy in her heart. She took the clothes to the mirror and compared them to her father, "Don't wear them yet. Wait until you take a shower tonight."

Otherwise it will get dirty.

"I bought you two some sandals, shorts, and skirts."

"Go ahead and give it a try."

Su He took out the clothes of the two little treasures.

The two children went to try on clothes happily.

I took it off after trying it on, washed it, and put it on again.

"Xiao He, eat first." Gu's mother brought chicken and some large white flour steamed buns.

Although she was not hungry at all, Su He wanted to eat stewed chicken, so she drank a big bowl of chicken soup and ate two big chicken drumsticks.

After the meal, Gu's mother asked Su He to go back to the house to rest. He must have been tired from the car ride, so he took a nap first.

"Mom, I want to sleep with you."

Su He was taking a nap, and the two little treasures wanted to sleep beside her and hold her in their arms. She also missed the two children, so she let them hold them in their arms.

The mother and her two children slept until five o'clock.

I woke up, washed my face, and took a good sleep. I felt much better and no longer had any back pain.

Gu Jianhua came back at six o'clock. Since they had nothing to do, Su He, Gu's mother and the two little kids came to chat with Gu's second sister.

When Second Sister Gu saw Su He, she exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, your temperament is getting better and better. This is beautiful."

Su He smiled and said, "Really?"

"Yeah, it looks better than before."

"Look at this dress. It looks so good on you."

Su He's current outfit is a white short-sleeved shirt, black pants, and black leather shoes.

The hair was braided into a pigtail at the back.

"Xiao He, let me tell you, Wu Sanfeng also bought a shirt and pants similar to yours, but she doesn't look as good in them as you do." said Sister Gu.

Mother Gu asked, "How can she compare with Xiao He?"

The second wife of the Gu family speaks ill of the first wife of the Gu family, and the first wife of the Gu family does the same, often speaking ill of the second wife. The two families speak ill of each other.

Can't stand each other.

Su He smiled and said, "Is Gu Li not back yet?"

Sister Gu said, "Who knows? I thought she came back with you guys."

Gu's mother said, "Zhang Xiuying told me that Gu Li will not be coming back this year and will stay in school to study."

"I heard from Mingyue that the girl has a boyfriend at school, right?" asked Second Sister Gu.

Su He nodded, "Yes, I'm dating someone from their department."

Gu Erjie, "How is that person?"

Su He, "He's a handsome guy."

Gu's mother curled her lips and said, "Even if it looks good, it can't be eaten." She looked down on it.

"Are Mingyue and the others resting?"

Sister Gu said, "Yes, she said she was tired from the car ride, so she went to sleep after eating."

"Sister-in-law, is the rent in Beijing expensive?" asked Second Sister Gu.

Su He: "It's not bad. The house we rented costs 11 yuan a month, which is about a hundred yuan a year."

Sister Gu heard this and said, "That's not cheap either. It takes away half a month's salary."

"The key is that they both don't have jobs."

Second sister Gu told Su He and mother Gu that Tang Zexu and Mingyue's family were moving to the capital.

"You said that if you live in the capital, you have to pay rent every month, and you have to spend money on food and drink."

"In the countryside, we grow our own vegetables for summer and our own food."

Second sister Gu is almost worried to death. Her son-in-law said he wants to sell his job and leave. How much can he earn from the job? Can he save up to 1,000 yuan?

One thousand is not enough. The housing cost alone for four years in college is five hundred.

A family of four usually has to eat and drink, and everything is free.

Sister Gu was worried, "No matter what we say, it's useless. Mingyue said the house has been rented."

"Let my second sister and the others pass away. Mingyue misses her child so much that she cries every night." Su He said.

Sister Gu said, "I know about this, but what are we going to eat and drink? It's fine for the first two years, but how are we going to get by in the next two years after the money is gone?"

Su He, "We are still here, don't worry, second sister. Besides, Mingyue and Tang Zexu are already parents, so they must know what's going on."

Sister Gu shook her head, "What can they do?"

Mother Gu said, "Let's not worry about the children. We can send some food and other things to help them when the time comes."

Anyway, Second Sister Gu was very worried. Both she and her husband had no jobs, and they had to rent a house in a strange place and raise two children.

Living on savings is a huge pressure.

Su He and his mother didn't stay for too long. They chatted for a while and then went home.

At six o'clock, Gu Jianhua came back from get off work.

I had stewed a lot of chicken and steamed buns for Su He at noon, so I didn’t cook in the evening and just ate this.

Father Gu said, "The team didn't kill the sheep. If they had, they would have stewed the mutton." His tone sounded a little regretful.

Su He: "Dad, this is good enough."

Only their family conditions are better, they can eat meat every few days. Other families don't have this. It's good enough to eat meat once a month.

After dinner, Su He took the two children for a stroll in the yard for a while and then returned to the back room.

She is not sleepy now. She slept a lot at noon and is very energetic.

So do the two kids.

The family of four lay on the kang and talked about going to the capital.

"Mom, what does our house look like? Is it similar to grandma and grandpa's house?"

"Mom, we are going to the capital with Dad. Are you living in school or at home?" the two kids asked one by one.

Su He answered the first question, "Almost. There are three rooms. Your father and I have one, and the remaining two are yours. If your sister and brother don't come back, you can each have a room."

"If you guys go to the capital, I won't live in school anymore, I'll live at home!"

Two kids, "We each have our own room, and we are afraid to sleep at night."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"I'm just scared, Mom. I want to sleep with you." This is what my younger sister Chang Huan said.

"Mom, I'm scared too. I want to sleep with you too." Then brother Changjun said.

The four of them lay on the kang, Su He was held by the two children on both sides, and Gu Jianhua was lying alone on one side.

He said, "Okay, okay, it's time for you to go to bed."

The two kids said, "We are not sleepy. We took a nap at noon."

Gu Jianhua, "You will sleep with grandma tomorrow."

The two kids said, "No, we want to sleep with mom."

Gu Jianhua, "............." He wants his wife.

Su He held her two children in her arms and felt that children are more fun when they are little, and their mothers will cling to them, but they will not be as clingy when they grow up.

Just like the two babies, they were like this when they were little, clamoring to sleep with her.

Although they had taken a nap at noon, the two little ones still fell asleep after being patted by Suho.

After they fell asleep completely, Su He got up quietly and went to his own bed.

"You've been waiting for a long time."

She hugged Gu Jianhua.

"no......"

"Wife, let's go to the west room." Gu Jianhua suggested.

Su He: "Okay."

The noise was too loud and I was afraid of waking the children.

Gu Jianhua in the west room had already laid the mattress, and then the couple had a very affectionate time.

After finishing, Su He asked, "Is the magazine empty?"

Gu Jianhua: "There should be more."

"Then fight again"

"Fight tomorrow."

The next day, Su He slept until ten o'clock in the morning. She was indeed tired after the long journey.

She looked around and found that the two little babies were not there. She was sleeping so soundly that she didn't know when the children woke up.

It is said that doing that helps with sleep, and it really is true. Su He slept particularly soundly this time, without any dreams, and slept until ten in the morning.

After washing up, she went to the front room, where only Gu's mother was.

"Xiao He, you're awake. Let me serve you food." Mother Gu hurried to the kitchen.

Su He followed her and asked, "Mom, where are Changjun and Changhuan?"

For breakfast, Mother Gu killed another chicken and picked out two large chicken legs from the pot, saying, "We went fishing with their grandfather."

Since Mr. Gu stopped working in the fields, he has been listening to stories on the radio every day. This year, for some reason, he became obsessed with fishing. Since the beginning of spring, as long as it is not raining or thundering, Mr. Gu goes there every day and sits there all day long. Mother Gu doesn't understand why.

If you want to catch fish, you can just set up a net or use a fishing net and start fishing.

"We can only catch a few fish in a day. It's a waste of time." Gu's mother complained to Su He.

Su He smiled and said, "Dad, if you want to go fishing, go fishing. There are no other hobbies in our village. If you were in the capital, you could play chess with the local uncles and aunts, go to the park, practice Tai Chi, etc."

Mother Gu handed Su He the bowl with the chicken drumsticks and said, "I'll fill it with steamed buns."

Then he said, "Then our countryside can definitely not compare with the capital."

"But your father is also like this among the old men in the village." He raised his thumb.

"No other old man is as leisurely as him. He even goes fishing and works in the fields."

In the village, not to mention those in their sixties, even those in their seventies, as long as they can walk and move, are still working in the fields. It is not easy to stay at home and watch their sons and daughters-in-law eat.

Even if the son is willing, the daughter-in-law is not willing.

"Mom, after Jianhua and I settle down in the capital, we will bring you to the capital to live in your old age." Su He said to Mother Gu.

Hearing this, Gu's mother smiled and said, "Your father and I don't have to stay in our hometown."

Although the old couple had no intention of living in the capital, they were still very happy to hear their daughter-in-law say this.

She said, "When you have time, you can take us to stay for a few days, visit Tiananmen Square, and climb the Great Wall."

Gu's mother never thought that this day would really come. She had wondered in her heart whether she would have the chance to go to the capital in her lifetime.

It seems unlikely. This wish is too far away. Let alone the capital, the farthest place they have been to is their county. They have lived for more than 60 years and have never left the county.

However, now several of my grandchildren and daughter-in-law have been admitted to university, and my son's family is about to move to the capital. My wish to visit the capital before I die can still be realized.

Su He, "Well, Mom, this is not that difficult. Forget about the capital. Later, I will let your grandchildren take you around the beautiful land of our motherland."

"Go to Hainan, where the climate varies between winter and summer. Go to the prairie to see thousands of horses galloping. Go to Xinjiang to eat dried grapes. Go to Tibet to see the Potala Palace. Go wherever you want."

These words made Gu's mother feel very emotional. Even though they were from Meng Province, Meng Province was very large and their hometown was in the eastern part of Meng Province. Here, people farmed and grazed together and there was no grassland.

So as people from Mongolia, they have never seen the prairie.

Not to mention places like Xinjiang and Tibet.

Mother Gu asked embarrassedly, "How much does it cost to go to those old places?"

Su He, "We young people can spend as much money as we can."

"Don't worry, mom. If Changyi and Changan don't want to take you there, I will."

"You guys have worked hard all your life, you should enjoy your old age."

After hearing this, Gu's mother wanted to cry again, but she held it back.

She smiled and said, "Your father and I will just go to the capital to see Tiananmen Square."

Su He gnawed on a big chicken drumstick and said, "Mom and Dad, take care of yourselves. We can go on a spontaneous trip later."

Mother Gu: "Your father and I are in good health."

This is true. She and the old man are in much better health than people of the same age. Not to mention others, there are her sister-in-law Zhang Xiufang and Uncle Gu, who are a few years younger than them, and they suffer from back or leg pain all day long.

There's no comfortable place anyway.

Su He ate two steamed buns, two large chicken legs and a bowl of chicken soup and was full.

"Mom, do you want to go to my eldest sister's house with me?"

I'm free anyway, so I might as well go for a walk and visit some friends.

Mother Gu: "Okay, I'll go change my clothes."

When going to the family's house, Su He did not go empty-handed. He took the cakes brought back from Beijing and divided them into several portions, thinking that Gu's mother would stop by to visit Gu Jianhua's two uncles' homes.

When Gu's mother saw Su He took the things, she put the eggs down and said, "These are enough. Don't take the eggs."

I went to talk to Father Gu, who was having fun fishing with his two grandchildren. He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Mother Gu said, "Changjun and Changhuan, you two should go sit under the tree. Be careful not to get heatstroke."

The two kids said, "Grandma, we are fine, our hats are wet."

Mother Gu then instructed Father Gu, "There's rice in the pot. If you're hungry, heat it up and eat it. Xiao He and I may be back later."

Father Gu stared at the fishing rod, "Hmm."

The three generations of grandparents became addicted to fishing, and Gu's mother no longer cared about them and went to Dakubo Village with Su He.

They went to Sister Gu's house first, but they arrived at an unlucky time because the whole family was having lunch.

"Oh, our college students are back."

Sister Gu was very surprised to see Su He and hurried to greet him.

My eldest brother-in-law did the same, and the whole family stood up.

"When will you be back, brother and sister?"

Su He smiled and gave the cake to Sister Gu, "Yesterday."

"Oh, come and sit down."

Sister Gu greeted Su He and Gu's mother and poured them some water herself.

"Where are Changyi and Changan? Why didn't they come together?"

Su He, "They didn't come back. They said they were going to study at school and would come back during the Chinese New Year."

Brother-in-law, "Study hard."

Sister Gu's youngest son, Zhao Qinglin, married a girl from a neighboring village named Chen Juan.

The two got married in 1972 and have a son named Zhao Fan, who is five years old this year.

He was being held by his mother and fed egg custard.

Su He took out a few White Rabbit candies from his pocket and said, "Fanfan, have some candy."

Chen Juan: "Thank you, aunt."

"Thank you, aunt." The child is very well behaved.

Sister Gu took the opportunity to praise her grandson, "This child is so smart. He can count from one to one hundred even though he hasn't started school yet."

Su He smiled and said, "That's quite clever."

Sister Gu, "You are really filial. I accidentally cut my hand that day and I told grandma that she was injured and gave her a call."
