“My house and boat are in Rongcheng. There’s no sea in Beijing for me to fish in, and I can’t just go to Beijing with him and do nothing.”
Besides, he doesn't have time to come back from the army anyway, so it doesn't matter where he lives. His annual leave is limited, so we should just continue living our lives as usual.
Xiao Hao's mother was a little disappointed. "Then finding someone in the army won't make any difference. You'll still be living alone most of the time, won't you?"
Then, thinking of Zhou Yi's handsome appearance, he couldn't help but smile lewdly.
"However, his salary is not low, he is quite handsome, and he looks very strong. You won't lose out by finding a man like him. You two will definitely have a great time together."
This woman is like the land; a drought of ten days or half a month is manageable and won't significantly affect the crops. But a drought lasting several months or even half a year will affect the next crop.
If there is a drought for several years, even if it rains, the land will be ruined. No crops will grow, and it will turn into saline-alkali land!
Your land has been dry for far too long. If you don't irrigate it soon, it will turn into saline-alkali land and be abandoned.
I see Comrade Zhou is in good health. You two should water this land quickly, otherwise your beautiful appearance will be wasted!
Aunt Guo heard Xiao Hao's mother's conversation drift off-topic, and feeling embarrassed to listen to these young wives talking about such things at her age, she quickly made an excuse to go back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Wang Xin's mother was a little embarrassed, but she was also a bit of a flirt, so she didn't leave. She just chuckled and listened to Xiao Hao's mother and Chen Hong talking.
Chen Hong spat at Xiao Hao's mother, "The child is right here. Watch your mouth and don't talk nonsense. Married women will say anything."
Xiao Hao's mother pursed her lips, "My child is almost in elementary school, of course he can't be as shy as a new bride in the past."
If it weren't for the one-child policy, I would have at least three or four children by now.
Wang Xin's mother chuckled beside her, "Don't you two do anything else but think about having kids all day long?"
Xiao Hao's mother pinched Wang Xin's mother in return, "Stop pretending to be high and mighty, you're actually the most cunning one!"
I wouldn't dare say anything to Chen Hong, but what about you? If you didn't have a child, where would Wang Xin come from?
Don't think I didn't see it; when you came that morning, you were walking like a crab on the beach!
The night before last, Wang Xin's father came home. Do I need to tell you what you did last night?
Don't tell me you practice gymnastics splits at night! The national gymnastics team doesn't need athletes like you.
I never expected you two, usually so quiet, to be so energetic! You're both over thirty, but you work like newlyweds!
Upon hearing this, Wang Xin's mother's face flushed red, and she stepped forward to pinch her mouth, saying, "You shameless thing, saying all sorts of things, who's like a crab?"
I twisted my back, so I'm walking slowly. You're so observant, always watching what's going on between that couple.
The two of them were playfully bickering, creating a harmonious atmosphere. In fact, rural women are quite simple-minded.
Aside from work and meals, even the gossip and small talk were just trivial matters.
The women worked together every day, talked about everything, had virtually no secrets, and their relationships were straightforward and pure.
When they're in a good mood, they make dirty jokes and gossip; when they're angry or upset, they just get physical, tearing hair and slapping each other. They don't even think twice; they're very straightforward!
Unlike some people in the city who claim to be civilized but are actually cunning and manipulative, they don't confront each other directly even when they disagree.
However, they sabotage you behind your back and use all sorts of cunning tactics, their dark hearts are terrifying!
In the workplace, in government, in the entertainment industry, there are many people who dress smartly and glamorously, but whose hearts are incredibly dark! Some people are capable of doing things that even animals wouldn't do.
Chen Hong is a genuine and straightforward person. Her favorite things are fishing, farming, and eating delicious food. She hates pretentiousness, comparing herself to others, and scheming.
She has always longed for a simple life, dislikes makeup, and usually just applies some Dabao moisturizing lotion.
She lived her whole life without makeup, and luckily she was naturally beautiful. Even when she was sick, she was only pale and weak, and no one ever said she was ugly.
She also loves rural life in this lifetime, where people are simple-minded and neighbors are very friendly.
That evening, Chen Hong took the three children home and let them do their homework and play games in the living room.
Chen Hong went to the kitchen to cook. Xiao Hao and Wang Xin had never eaten eel rice before. After hearing Yu Yang's boast, they both expressed their desire to eat the eel rice she made.
Now that Chen Hong is alone in the kitchen, she can use the space freely and easily.
In the evening, she not only made eel rice for the children, but also spicy crab, stir-fried shrimp, braised bok choy with dried shrimp, and tomato and egg soup.
Dinner was delicious, simple, and nutritious, and the kids really enjoyed it!
That night, Xiao Hao and Wang Xin ate until they were stuffed, which made Chen Hong both annoyed and amused!
We told them to eat less, but those two rascals said they weren't full. The consequence of lying was that they ended up so full they couldn't walk.
Having no other choice, Chen Hong had to boil another pot of hawthorn syrup for them to drink to aid their digestion.
These two boys even drank their fill of hawthorn syrup. Fortunately, the hawthorn syrup aids digestion, and they felt much better after peeing.
Aunt Chen Hong has been nagging them all night, and if she adds two more kids, they'll just get annoyed with Aunt Chen Hong.
Chen Hong decided that she would like to exchange parenting tips with Xiao Hao and Wang Xin's mother when she had the chance.
It's not good for children to develop overeating habits, as it can pose a threat to their health.
