Su He washed a warm towel with hot water and replaced the dry towel in her mother-in-law's hand. She asked Teacher Wu to wipe his face with the hot towel. "Mom, Da Mao is also funny. He's not even six years old yet, and he's still talking nonsense! I guess he only does this at home. Listen to your stories and come and listen!"
Mrs. Yuan: "Those picture books you bought are great! I've never seen anyone so smart and understanding!"
The three children finally diverted some of Teacher Wu's attention.
Teacher Wu wiped his face with a towel and said to Mrs. Yuan, "Hey, Guifang, go wash up too. Let's go to bed early and go home early. Look at my little Su, he takes care of me like a big dog! I can't rely on my old man, so why should I be sad? My son is so motivated, my daughter-in-law is filial and capable, and I have grandchildren, and they are so adorable! I wake up laughing in my dreams!"
Mrs. Yuan was also willing to support Teacher Wu: "That's right, you don't know, many people in the family compound envy you! Even if I only have one grandson or granddaughter, I'd be happy, but my mother-in-law is such a scumbag, I don't know when you'll be able to give me another one! Not to mention giving me one, even now no one wants it!"
Teacher Wu: "Okay, Guifang, you don't have to belittle yourself like this just to comfort me!"
Su He laughed: "Mom, this is a typical example of 'self-deprecation' by the Master's wife. She's trying her best to smear herself in order to please you!"
Mrs. Yuan: "Teacher Wu, do you feel better now?"
Teacher Wu: "Guifang, let me be honest. If I said I wasn't angry at all, I'd be lying! But if you want to know how angry I am, look at these three children. After thinking hard, I really am not that angry! Okay, everyone go to bed!"
Su He: "Well, let's all go to bed early. We'll take the train tomorrow. When we get back, we'll be busy preparing for the New Year! Mom, I'm going to go out and find some pork so we can make sausages! We'll also have some cured chicken and duck! Let's get the oven going too. This time, we'll make a roast chicken and we'll all enjoy it together!"
When you are in a bad mood, just have a good meal! As the saying goes, one meal is not enough, so have two!
Mrs. Yuan whispered, "Xiao Su, if you're going to the Black Market to exchange for meat tickets, you have to come with me. It's the end of the year, and this is no joke. Don't make your mother worry!"
Su He hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, Master's wife. I wouldn't go out and steal anything myself! I'm going to trade with the people in town! If all else fails, I'll buy some more chickens and ducks they have! Anyway, we have to make sure we have all the delicious food for the New Year!"
Su He talked about those things to eat, which made Teacher Wu and Mrs. Yuan feel hungry. The three of them made a bowl of malted milk and drank it before going to bed to rest.
The next morning, they packed their belongings and went to check out. After completing the formalities, the receptionist asked them, "Comrades, someone sent you something and asked me to give it to you!"
Su He looked at her mother-in-law and Mrs. Yuan and asked, "Sister, who gave us this?"
The receptionist said, "A child came running in and said, 'Here's a letter with her name on it: Comrade Su He with three children!' That's you! In our entire guesthouse, you're the only female comrade with three children. Everyone else is out on their own!"
Su He thanked the receptionist and took the envelope she handed him. The envelope was addressed to "Su He," and in parentheses after the name, it said, "A lesbian with two boys, one girl, and three children!"
She looked up at her mother-in-law and Mrs. Yuan, and seeing them both nodding, she opened the envelope. Inside was a small stack of Great Unity coupons, mostly meat coupons, grain coupons, and cloth coupons.
Su He smiled and said, "Mom, Master's wife, now that we have meat tickets, we should be able to make a lot of sausages!"
