After learning that it was all just a misunderstanding, Su Ruobai was relieved.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law wasn't bullied.
Not wanting to cook or reheat leftovers, Su Ruobai ate the food cold.
Aunt Xiao saw this and was heartbroken: "How could you eat like that? Su, watch the child, Mom will heat it up for you!"
I carefully placed the child on the bed and put a pillow next to the bed to prevent the baby from falling off if he rolled over.
Aunt Xiao went to the kitchen, wanting to heat up the pancakes and shredded potatoes she had made that morning for her daughter-in-law.
Su Ruobai quickly stopped them.
"Mom, no need, I'm not very hungry, I'll just eat something light."
As she spoke, Su Ruobai realized something was wrong.
I was so focused on my mother-in-law's red eyes.
This time, it seems like I'm seeing something different again.
Why is there darkness under those eyes?
It wasn't like this when I came yesterday.
"Mom, what's wrong with your eyes? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Aunt Xiao touched the corner of her eye and sighed.
"Su, let me tell you the truth, I didn't sleep a wink last night!"
One sentence completely stunned Su Ruobai!
What the hell? Didn't you sleep all night?
So, when the two of them had a deep conversation yesterday, didn't his mother-in-law hear everything?
But then I realized that wasn't right; I hadn't said much.
In an attempt to keep the noise down, he almost bit through the pillowcase.
Even so, that shameless Xiao Yichen still laughed at him.
She heard everything.
That shameless guy is deliberately tormenting her.
Think about yesterday's battle.
Su Ruobai blushed.
But you probably can't hear it!
There's still a main room between their house and Aunt Xiao's house!
With two doors added in, there's no way they should be able to hear anything!
Sure enough, Aunt Xiao continued the next second: "Su, Mom can't sleep."
On the train, I couldn't sleep well because I was looking after the child. Now that we've arrived at our destination, I thought I could finally get a good night's sleep.
Unexpectedly, I still couldn't fall asleep.
"Su, Mom, Mom might be picky about the kang (heated brick bed)!"
Su Ruobai frowned: "Identifying a heated brick bed?"
Is it even possible to recognize it this way?
But since my mother-in-law has already spoken, let's deal with it.
Su Ruobai ate a few bites of shredded potatoes: "That's easy. When I go out later, I'll ask around and see if there's a heated brick bed available."
It's nothing serious!
My own mother-in-law even brought it up.
Su Ruobai tried her best to satisfy him.
Aunt Xiao's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.
Sure enough, as expected, daughters are always more thoughtful.
She would get up early every morning to prepare food and drinks for her third son.
That's his own son, and he didn't even notice that he hadn't slept well!
This daughter-in-law is wonderful; even a biological daughter couldn't compare.
Su Ruobai finished her meal in a few bites and then went out.
It's not that she disrespects food.
The truth is, my mother-in-law only knows how to stir-fry one kind of shredded potato.
Add oil and water and simmer.
Stewed until soft and tender.
She doesn't like to eat it.
She likes those crispy, sour and spicy shredded potatoes.
I tried to teach Aunt Xiao several times, but she just couldn't learn it.
Every time I get to the end, I want to add water and stew it.
According to Aunt Xiao, how can you eat it if it's not cooked thoroughly?
Therefore, Su Ruobai often cooks for herself.
Her skills are getting better and better!
After finishing their meal, Su Ruobai picked up the child and went out with Aunt Xiao.
This child needs to go out more.
People nowadays don't value this; they just take their children out to play or go to work in the fields.
By sheer luck, it increased the child's farsightedness reserve.
It will be less likely for you to become nearsighted in the future.
Su Ruobai also wanted to take Baodan out more often, partly to let him get more sunshine, and partly to increase his farsightedness reserve.
She doesn't want her daughter to wear glasses in the future.
For no other reason than that I won't look good wearing makeup and glasses in the future.
She thought her little girl must be a girl who loves beauty.
Without going far, Su Ruobai carried the child to the supply and marketing cooperative.
If you're not looking for anyone else, look for Sister Gu from yesterday.
"Sister Gu, we'd like to build a kang (heated brick bed) at home, but we don't know anyone who does it. Do you know anyone?"
Time flies, and winter is here in the blink of an eye.
Those of them who were used to sleeping on heated kang beds, going back to sleeping on wooden beds, hmm...
Just thinking about it makes me cold.
She mentioned this Sister Gu to Xiao Yichen yesterday, asking if she could get to know her better.
Xiao Yichen nodded in agreement.
She didn't understand men's careers, but she had read a few novels.
There are also many who smile in public but stab others in the back.
It's better to ask more questions.
Sister Gu was also happy; this young wife was both beautiful and down-to-earth.
I just told her yesterday that I needed to come see me, and she came today.
"I know, there are many soldiers from the north in our camp, and several of them know this skill."
"Go back tonight and tell Battalion Commander Xiao to have them come!"
Su Ruobai was reluctant, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Can they handle it? They all joined the army at a very young age. Can they even keep up with the cooking skills? And don't make sure it's not warm enough!"
Making a kang (heated brick bed) is no simple task.
Those who don't know the situation might think it's just randomly stacking bricks and stones.
That's not actually the case at all.
There's a lot more to it than meets the eye.
How does the smoke travel, how does the fire burn, and how does the chimney come about?
Some families would even build a firewall or a ground heating system together.
Su Ruobai was afraid that these young comrades wouldn't understand.
One question is whether it's in accordance with the rules to find these people.
