Needless to say, raising a child is hard work, especially since Tuan Tuan Yuanyuan was one month old, Xu Mian has been raising the child alone.
Xu Bing usually has to work, and sometimes he has to go on missions, and he would be away for half a month or a month.
There are actually quite a few fine lines on Xu Mian's face, but her eyes are always bright and she looks energetic.
Xu Sui's spiritual spring is mainly added to drinking water, and occasionally a small amount is added to a large vat.
Her first goal was to take good care of her sister's body. The spiritual spring water was too effective. If she added too much, Xu Mian's skin would return to her teens, which would be too noticeable.
Xu Sui just smiled and said, "Sister, I didn't help much either. I guess it's because Tuantuanyuanyuan has grown up and there are fewer things for her to worry about."
Xu Mian sighed, "I just hope they can get to school age soon, otherwise it will become a constant buzz in my ears."
Unfortunately, I still need a few more.
Xu Sui has also experienced the noisy abilities of the two children in the past few days, and this one is still relatively well-behaved.
The family living across the street has to chase after their children even when they eat, and they lie on the ground and cry loudly if things don't go their way.
Earlier, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan tried to pull off the headbands that Xu Sui made for them. Fortunately, the two sisters were not soft-hearted and they firmly refused and said they would break off the friendship.
Director Yang arrived at Xu Mian's home in the afternoon.
She was thinking of coming back tomorrow to find out more, but Lu Chenghuai seemed so calm at first, and he asked her to arrange time early. He came again at noon to ask her what the result was.
She and Lao Xiao were also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
It was also Lao Xiao who said, "It's rare for the iron tree to bloom, and it only blooms one flower at a time. If this kid misses this, maybe we will all have grandchildren, but he will still be a bachelor."
Director Yang and Xiao Zhenhua have known Lu Chenghuai for ten years and have watched him grow from a young and immature man who had just joined the army to the iron-blooded and stern Commander Lu.
Privately, she definitely prefers Lu Chenghuai.
Xu Mian and Xu Sui were also somewhat surprised to see Director Yang, mainly because they did not expect her to be so enthusiastic about matchmaking this time.
Director Yang was holding a small pottery jar in his hand. "This is the fermented glutinous rice wine I made myself. I don't know if you eat this in your hometown. It's sweet and good for women."
Giving and receiving is the key to friendship. The pottery jar was not big, so Xu Mian accepted it after thanking her. She happened to have made basil sauce, so she could return the gift.
Xu Sui had already folded up the newspaper and put it away. After Director Yang sat down, he first asked her how she felt after seeing Zheng 꼇.
"Comrade Zheng is a very good person, but during our chat this morning, I found that we still have many different opinions. He believes that men should work outside and women should work inside, and that a woman's greatest value lies in doing the laundry, cooking, and taking care of the children," said Xu Sui.
"But a great man once said that women can hold up half the weight. I believe that women are also a powerful force. Their value can be reflected in their jobs and in the fields, and is definitely not limited to working at the stove. Even if they are housewives, their work cannot be ignored. Their labor cannot be denied by the word "mother"."
"I still hope to find a like-minded revolutionary teammate."
This is also because in the previous exchanges, Director Yang was very straightforward and Xu Sui spoke more directly.
When she said these words, her tone was still calm and gentle.
"Well said!"
Director Yang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the girl, who looked fair and tender like a delicate flower, was actually a person with her own ideas and inner strength.
She agreed with Xu Sui's point of view and said: "Marriage is a major event in life. Once you choose that person, you will live with him in the same house for the rest of your life. It's a good thing that you have your own ideas and know what kind of person you want to find."
After all, she had lived so long that after hearing what was said, she could recall that the seemingly pleasant communication between the two people that she saw in the morning was actually just one party accommodating the other.
By now, she really likes this little girl more and more.
Director Yang continued, "I will talk to Comrade Zheng for you."
She changed the subject, "However, I have another good comrade here. He took the initiative to come to me and asked me to introduce him to someone."
Hearing this, Xu Mian who was standing by was stunned.
Director Yang smiled and said, "You have met him before, he is Lu Chenghuai, the head of the Lu regiment."
"Captain?!" Xu Mian exclaimed in surprise.
It was no wonder that she was surprised, as she had heard this name from her husband only half a month ago.
뎃 Ji easily took the position of group leader, and his ability is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Now, the team leader wants to be her brother-in-law?
Xu Sui raised her eyebrows, and the figure of the tall man she had seen in the morning appeared in her mind again.
Director Yang introduced: "Xiao Lu is 29 years old now, from the capital. His grandfather and father are both veteran revolutionaries, and his mother is the director of the Capital Military Region Art Troupe. I have known him a lot. He has a good character, but a cold temper. He was busy with work before, so his marriage was delayed."
Xu Mian just felt it was a bit mysterious.
She thought that Wu Xuezhou, who was introduced earlier, had too good conditions and was worried that his parents would look down on rural people. If Sui Sui succeeded in getting married to him, would she be bullied?
But now, this Captain Lu’s conditions are much better than theirs.
Even if Director Yang did not say it explicitly, just from his mother's identity, it can be seen that his father and grandfather are definitely not ordinary people.
Director Yang saw her concern and said, "Comrade Xu Mian, you can relax. Xiao Lu is not the kind of person who thinks too much. He is upright and responsible, not the kind of person who does whatever he wants."
"As for me, I just want to help Comrade Xiao Xu and Captain Lu get to know each other so that we can know if they are suitable for each other.
"A great man once said, if you want to know the taste of a pear, you have to taste it yourself."
Xu Sui smiled innocently and said, "Then please help me make an appointment."
Director Yang asked, "Do you think it's convenient tonight? I'll ask Xiao Lu to come over for dinner."
She explained, "Xiao Lu will be on a mission next week, and he won't be back for at least half a month. I wanted to let the young man get to know him earlier so that he won't be worried about it while he's on a mission."
Director Yang laughed after he finished speaking.
Xu Sui looked at Xu Mian.
Xu Mian thought about it and said, "Of course, I can, but I don't have any food at home."
Director Yang waved his hands and said, "It's not that troublesome. Just treat it as a friend coming to your home and bring an extra pair of chopsticks."
After Director Yang left, Xu Mian asked, "Director Yang just said that you met with Commander Lu. When was that?"
"I met him twice."
Although we met twice, we spoke no more than ten sentences in total.
