Chapter 11



Su Ying woke up when she heard some noise at night. It was Han Jingyuan who came back.

There was a power outage again tonight. She used a flashlight to open the gate for Han Jingyuan. She came back in the middle of the night, and it seemed that she was still thinking about sleeping.

But she was very sleepy and probably didn't have the mood to pay attention to him.

But it is said that men are very persistent about that kind of thing. If Han Jingyuan persists in making trouble, will it hurt his self-esteem if she refuses?

Wait, this man might be sexually frigid, so maybe her worries are unnecessary.

Su Ying was very conflicted.

Han Jingyuan locked the gate and said, "You are so sleepy that you can't even open your eyes. Don't worry about me and go to sleep."

"I really don't have to wait for you?"

The man's voice was a little hoarse in the dark night. "I'll go to bed after taking a shower. Don't wait for me."

Su Ying thought he was quite considerate. Well, if he was not sexually frigid, she would cooperate with him if he had any needs in the future.

Han Jingyuan touched his hot cheek. Fortunately, it was dark and Su Ying didn't notice it.

Su Ying actually knew when Han Jingyuan went to bed. The man carefully lay down beside her with the slightest movement. This was the first night they slept in the same bed, and Han Jingyuan did not make trouble for her.

Su Ying felt a little sorry, but she hoped that he was not sexually frigid. They had a long time to raise the baby, and he couldn't be a vegetarian all the time.

She heard Han Jingyuan's breathing became disordered.

When Han Jingyuan quietly got up in the morning, Su Ying also woke up.

"You got up so early?" Su Ying asked, rubbing her eyes.

Han Jingyuan was propped up with his arms and was about to turn over. This posture allowed him to clearly see the white collarbone of Su Ying through the collar of her pajamas. His blood boiled and he quickly turned his head away.

"Yeah, I'm used to it. I'll go out for a run and buy breakfast."

"Don't buy breakfast, I'll make it myself. I want to eat omelette and sweet potato porridge."

Eggs and flour are both very precious, and if the whole family were to fill their stomachs with omelets, no amount of omelets would be enough.

The young wife he married doesn't seem to know how to live.

But it’s not a big problem. At worst he can just not save money. His allowance is still enough for food.

"Okay, I won't run today since I have a day off. I'll make breakfast for you."

"Okay." Su Ying likes to have someone to help her.

While kneading the dough, Su Ying thought about what happened yesterday when Han Jingyuan's ex-wife came to see her. It would be better to be frank with the man.

Otherwise, if there is a misunderstanding between the two of them, it would be more trouble than gain.

She said, "Yesterday when I was buying vegetables at the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw your ex-wife. She seemed to be waiting for me at the supply and marketing cooperative on purpose."

People from the family quarters all go there to buy vegetables. If they can’t wait one day, they will wait the next day.

"What did she say to you?" Han Jingyuan became nervous.

He wanted to ask her last night, but Su Ying seemed too sleepy, and Su Ying didn't mention it. He thought that today was a day off, and with a whole day, he would always find a chance to tell her.

I didn’t expect Su Ying to bring it up herself.

"I said some nonsense."

"You better tell me about it."

Su Ying briefly told Han Jingyuan about yesterday's conversation.

She analyzed objectively: "She may have regretted it and wanted to see how your new wife compares to her. When she saw me, her face turned ugly."

Su Ying wanted to laugh, "She almost cried because of my words. I guess she will look for you next."

Han Jingyuan thought he had already looked for her, but he would not go to see her.

Su Ying's frankness made him feel quietly relieved, but then he felt a little disappointed. He still hadn't figured out why he felt disappointed.

He said, "She went to see Director Qiao and told me that she wanted to see me, but I turned her down."

Su Ying thought about it. She had asked Gu Chengfeng to pick up the children on weekends, and Han Jingyuan had no objection.

It would be petty of her to not allow the man to see his ex-wife.

Su Ying felt that she still had to show some attitude, so she said generously, "You can meet me if you want to. I have no objection."

"not see."

Han Jingyuan was depressed and finally understood where the loss in his heart came from.

Political Commissar Ji also said that he would have to sleep on the bench for a few days, and now he has slept on the bed and spoken. This is different from what Political Commissar Ji had guessed.

If he had such an open-minded and frank young wife, he would think he was very generous if she was from someone else's family, but when it happened to him, he felt jealous.

Han Jingyuan was burning a fire under the stove and asked in a muffled voice, "Are you jealous?"

Su Ying blurted out, "Why should I be jealous? Your ex-wife is not as pretty as me, her temperament is not as good as mine, and her figure is not as good as mine. If you still want to go back to her, you are blind."

Han Jingyuan was shocked by Su Ying's words and was stunned for a few seconds. Then he lowered his head and laughed quietly, and the sourness in his heart disappeared.

Breakfast was an egg pancake with some chopped green onions added to it, served with sweet potato porridge, it tasted so delicious.

Su Ying made six pancakes, one for each of them. It was enough for the two little girls. Han Jingchen and Gu Zhinan, the two grown boys, finished a soft and fragrant pancake before they could even taste it.

Han Jingchen held the sweet potato porridge in his hand and said, "Second Aunt, I'm not full. Can I have a few more?"

Su Ying showed him the bamboo basket of eggs and said, "I bought twenty yesterday, ate five last night, and six this morning. There are only nine left. Omelettes, try them for fun. Do you want to eat them as a meal?"

Han Jingchen thought so too. He had never eaten eggs in such a luxurious way in Beijing before.

“But I’m not full.”

Su Ying pointed to the half bag of sweet potatoes she carried back yesterday and said they were really delicious, both raw and roasted.

"Wash some sweet potatoes and eat them yourself, or go to the canteen and buy some steamed buns."

Han Jingchen had eaten enough sweet potatoes, but he didn't think they were a delicacy, so he took the money and went to the cafeteria to buy white flour buns.

He asked the others, "How much do you eat?"

Gu Zhinan said he wanted to eat two more. Han Jingyuan asked Su Ying and the girls if they wanted to eat. He only had an omelet for breakfast, and with his physique, there was no way he could be full.

Su Ying shook her head, "I still need to save my stomach for a delicious lunch."

Xingxing and Cancan were already full, and when they heard that there would be something delicious for lunch, they shook their heads and said they didn't want to eat anymore.

Han Jingyuan asked Han Jingchen to buy six white flour buns.

Han Jingchen ran to the cafeteria in one breath. There were many people buying breakfast at this time. Master Pang asked with a smile: "Why, are you angry with your second aunt again?"

Han Jingchen packed six steamed buns and shook his head, saying, "No, I didn't feel full after eating the egg pancakes this morning, so I'll buy a few more steamed buns to take back."

"You still want to eat that thing?"

"My second aunt said the same thing, but the egg pancakes are really delicious."

Han Jingchen went home with the steamed buns, and Su Ying's grilled fish was ready.

The fragrance is so delicious that people can't resist it before they even enter the yard.

Han Jingchen: ... "You grilled fish so early in the morning. Have you ever considered the feelings of your neighbors?"

“I only think about my belly, why should I think about my neighbors?”

Su Ying tore off a piece for Xingxing and Cancan. She bought the fish yesterday and marinated it with salt overnight. It was just right to grill it now.

"Delicious!" Xingxing and Cancan said in unison.

But the grilled fish is a bit salty and goes perfectly with porridge. The girls are not hungry at the moment and are not particularly greedy.

Han Jingchen swallowed. He also wanted to try it, but he didn't want to ask Su Ying for it.

Su Ying stretched out her hand to him, "Give me a steamed bun."

"Change the fish?"

Su Ying was amused. She cut the bun in half, tore off a few strips of grilled fish, put them in the bun and gave them back to him. "Try it. It should be pretty good."

Han Jingchen quickly took a bite. The fish meat was already delicious, and the saltiness was neutralized by being sandwiched in the steamed bun. The steamed bun was actually more satisfying than the meat.

He finished a steamed bun in just a few bites.

Su Ying took out the remaining fish meat and put it between the remaining five steamed buns, gave two to Han Jingyuan, two to Gu Zhinan, and the remaining one to Han Jingchen.

Han Jingyuan took a bite and found it was indeed delicious. If he ate it this way, he could eat two more.

Only then did he realize that Su Ying had grilled the fish over charcoal just now in order to serve them with steamed buns.

"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Having steamed buns to eat is good enough."

Su Ying said, "I know, I was inconsiderate this morning and made you hungry. As compensation to you, you should go to the cafeteria to buy breakfast tomorrow."

Han Jingchen ate the grilled fish and steamed buns and felt that he could eat two more, but his second aunt would definitely not make it again.

He muttered, "Then I'd rather you feel guilty towards us every day."

Su Ying: "You wish. By the way, it's your turn to wash the dishes today, right?"

Last night I drew lots to arrange the order of doing housework.

Han Jingchen wanted to cheat, but he didn't dare.

If he doesn't wash the dishes today, his second aunt will let him eat in the cafeteria at noon.

"But I'll make it clear first, I've never washed dishes before, so don't blame me if you break them."

"I don't blame you." Su Ying said, "But I will deduct it from your pocket money."

Han Jingchen: ...This Second Auntie kept her word, but he asked, "Do I still have a chance to get pocket money?"

Su Ying was surprised and said, "Of course, there are rewards for every punishment. I'm so generous, you have plenty of opportunities to get pocket money."

Han Jingchen thought about the supply and marketing cooperative. He didn’t expect that Gu Zhinan got 15 yuan in pocket money, and even Xingxing and Cancan got 5 yuan each.

He was the poorest one at the moment. Considering that Second Aunt was a person who kept her word and never showed mercy or cheated, he resigned himself to his fate and went to wash dishes.

Han Jingyuan stood at the kitchen door and watched Han Jingchen wash and clean the dishes and put them all in the cupboard according to Su Ying's request.

He was so shocked that he couldn't figure it out for a long time. "When we were in Beijing, I also thought about letting him learn to do housework. But he 'accidentally' smashed dozens of bowls. He was beaten several times but still didn't get better. So I had to give up on letting him do housework."

Su Ying looked at Han Jingyuan in disbelief, "What happened a few years ago?"

Han Jingyuan said: "We tried and failed the year before last and last year."

Su Ying analyzed, "This kid is very smart. He knows how to treat people. I'm new here, and he followed the rules when I set them at the beginning. Last night he didn't want to help with housework, but after eating grilled shrimp with pineapple, he gave in. Just wait and see, he won't be able to make any waves in my hands."

Han Jingyuan thought that was the case.

He had a day off today, so he suggested, "It's a rare day off, you haven't been to the beach yet, right? You can pick up a lot of good things when the tide is out. I'll go with you and the kids."

Several children wanted to go to the beach and looked at Su Ying eagerly.

Su Ying said, "Okay, let's go to the sea."

A few people were about to go out when a staff member of the service center accompanied by the district director came over and informed everyone that the lychees on the mountain were ripe. Because this piece of mountain was under the jurisdiction of the army, the district organized and the service center arranged for family members to go up the mountain to help pick lychees, and each family would be given five kilograms when they came down the mountain.

Is there such a good thing?

Of course Su Ying wanted to go. She didn't want to go fishing and asked Han Jing to take the four children with her.

"Take some money with you and buy some food for lunch. If you can't wait for me to come back, you can cook for yourself."

Han Jingyuan was a little worried that Su Ying would break away from the main group and run around in the mountains.

He reminded: "You just came here and are not familiar with it. There are wild boars in the mountains. They are different from domestic pigs. They are so fierce that even several adults cannot subdue them. You must stay with the main group and don't run around."

Su Ying thought it would be great to have a wild boar. When the time comes, she can kill it and say that it hit a tree, and she can still eat the meat.

She came from another world, so a mere wild boar shouldn't be able to do anything to her.

"Okay, if I encounter a wild boar I will climb a tree, and the wild boar can't do anything to me."

Seeing that she didn't listen, Han Jingyuan emphasized: "There are wolves in the mountains. This is no joke. You can't run around."

The wolf pack was a bit troublesome, but Su Ying thought that she would not be so unlucky. She said, "Okay, okay, I will follow the main group and not run around."
