Chapter 65 Chen Cuijuan Arrives
Chen Cuijuan is of medium height, does farm work all year round, and is rather thin.
She looked like she could be blown down by the wind, but she was carrying a sack that was bigger than her.
Standing at the door, her face showed the anxiety and vigilance of someone who had come to a strange place. It was the big black thing in that person's hand that made her dare not look around!
She just mentioned the names of Youyou and Gu Ye, and the man asked her who she was related to Chief Gu.
After Chen Cuijuan said this, the young man asked her to wait here for a while.
Chen Cuijuan is still savoring the memory.
Chief Gu.
Oh my god, Chief, why does it sound so impressive?
Moreover, the man standing guard at the door was not only wearing a military uniform, but also holding a long black weapon in his hand.
Chen Cuijuan, who was usually very powerful in the village, didn't dare to say much or look. She waited anxiously, her eyes constantly looking inside.
As soon as he met the guard's eyes, he immediately looked away in fear.
It's so scary!
What if you don’t find the right place?
But that should be it.
She still came according to the address that Youyou wrote in the letter to her.
But Chen Cuijuan was unfamiliar with the place and had no idea what to do. She had already called or sent a telegram to Youyou and the others in advance!
But she was too anxious. She only thought about the fact that Gu Ye had to train and how dangerous it would be for her daughter to be alone at home with a big belly, so she came here without contacting them in advance.
Chen Cuijuan regretted her impatient temper!
Looking at the soldier standing at the door, she comforted herself that this was a military camp and all the soldiers were good people. If she really got to the wrong position, she might be able to ask them for help.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the young man and another tall man walking out.
"mom?"
When he saw Chen Cuijuan at the base, Gu Ye felt like he was dreaming and had a strong sense of unreality.
When Chen Cuijuan saw Gu Ye, she called out, and her dark face immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Ah!"
"Mom thought I had found the wrong place!"
Chen Cuijuan has a loud voice and her ending tones rise when she speaks, making her sound particularly energetic. Even the people around her are infected by her emotions and become happy for some unknown reason.
Gu Ye smiled, greeted the guard, and took Chen Cuijuan to register.
After completing the registration, Gu Ye took the sack from Chen Cuijuan.
I originally thought that the thing Chen Cuijuan brought from home wouldn’t be very heavy.
Who knew he almost couldn't lift it!
Gu Ye adjusted his expression, picked it up, and asked, "Mom, why did you come here so suddenly without telling me so that I could pick you up at the station."
"Well, what do you mean in advance? When I heard that Youyou was pregnant with twins, I felt uneasy and couldn't sleep well at night. I simply asked Guowang to take me to the train station the next day, and I bought a ticket and came here."
Gu Ye was silent for a moment.
My mother-in-law is still so wild.
With just an address, she actually found it on her own. What a ruthless person.
But at the same time, I was more moved. Although my mother-in-law was a bit unconventional, she really had nothing to say about Youyou.
With my mother-in-law around, I can feel more at ease.
"Yuyu is okay."
Gu Ye nodded: "Very good."
Chen Cuijuan was still waiting for him to say something good about his daughter, but in the end, nothing happened.
Forget it, forget it. My son-in-law can’t even fart three times with one hit of the stick.
You still have to see it with your own eyes to feel at ease.
Everyone has returned at this time and the family compound is very lively.
People coming and going saw Gu Ye leading a rural woman in her forties or fifties, and asked with a smile if she was an elder in the family.
Shen Zhiyou's belly has been getting bigger and bigger like a balloon these past few days, and it's obvious that she's about to give birth.
Generally speaking, it is not uncommon for the elders in the family to come and take care of the child at this time.
After asking, I found out that this was Shen Zhiyou's biological mother and Gu Ye's mother-in-law.
They all greeted Chen Cuijuan warmly: "Auntie, if you need any help, just ask. We are all family."
Chen Cuijuan was quite restrained when she first came.
But who is she? She is very outgoing.
It was only ten minutes later and she became very enthusiastic. She even made an appointment with people to go shopping for groceries together the next day!
Gu Ye was dumbfounded and silently held the sack in his hand tightly.
Before I reached the door of my house, I saw Shen Zhiyou waiting at the intersection with a big belly.
She was so anxious waiting at home that she just walked out slowly and stood at the intersection looking around.
When he saw Chen Cuijuan, he immediately waved his hand, called out "Mom", and his eyes turned red.
"Hey! Youyou!"
Chen Cuijuan was extremely excited.
She herself is simply too amazing, having found the right position all by herself, and is extremely proud of herself.
Seeing Shen Zhiyou crying, she felt distressed and said angrily: "Why are you crying? Mom is here. What's there to cry about? Go back and rest quickly."
"Are you happy to see me? When I heard that you were pregnant with two babies, I knew you must be scared. When you were a child, your brother and father couldn't comfort you, only mom could. So, mom came here immediately."
Shen Zhiyou sniffed and walked home closely beside Chen Cuijuan, talking to her as they walked.
She talked about her first pregnancy experience and some of her psychological processes.
"Mom, have you eaten yet?"
"Yes, I brought several steamed buns with me and I ate them all. Hehe, I also brought you pickles and some fried fish made by your dad. I just had a tasteless mouth on the way so I ate a few. They were so delicious. The boxed lunches sold on the train are not as delicious as my pickles."
"There's also fried fish. This stuff won't keep for long. You can fry it and eat it tomorrow."
We ate steamed corn bread all the way.
Shen Zhiyou frowned with heartache and looked at Gu Ye.
Before she said anything, Gu Ye knew what his wife wanted to say, so he put the food aside and said, "I'll go cook noodles."
"Why cook noodles? I'm not hungry. I'm here to take care of you. Don't do this."
Chen Cuijuan said this as she looked around their house.
On the way here just now, Chen Cuijuan discovered that the houses here were built almost the same. They were much more spacious than their houses in the countryside, brighter, and more comfortable to look at.
Seeing that there were still two chickens in the yard, Chen Cuijuan was very relieved. It seemed that her daughter was still able to live.
Women need to supplement more when they are pregnant.
It’s so nice to raise chickens.
We usually have eggs to eat, and if we crave chicken, we can also have a mother-child set meal.
The yard was clean and tidy. They had electricity and the house was full of electric lights, so it was very bright.
Although there are not many pieces of furniture, it is clean and tidy, and you can tell that a lot of thought was put into it.
Chen Cuijuan felt relieved and began to look at her heart seriously.
When she came just now, someone asked her if she was Teacher Shen’s mother.
Chen Cuijuan felt happy when she thought of the elders in Teacher Shen’s family.
She had been worried that her daughter would not be able to adapt to life here, but now it seems that her daughter is more capable than she thought.
"Youyou has grown up."
"Your belly is round and bulging, but it's okay, not particularly big. Mom is telling you, you have to control it. If it's too big, you'll suffer! It will be uncomfortable when you give birth later!"
While speaking, Chen Cuijuan deliberately touched her daughter's hand.
Seeing that my daughter's hands were still soft, I knew she didn't do much work, and I was completely relieved.
When the mother and daughter were loving each other, Gu Ye came out with noodles, "Mom, you eat first, Youyou and I have already eaten."
The spices here are particularly fragrant. I don’t know what they are used in. When Chen Cuijuan smelled the fragrance, she couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.
I turned around and saw, "Why is there meat in there?"
"This is bacon, smoked bacon. Youyou likes it very much. It's also a local specialty. Mom, please try it."
There was white flour, bacon, and an egg in it. There were oily spots floating on the noodle soup. Chen Cuijuan felt embarrassed and swallowed her saliva. "Why should I eat such good food? Just have a simple bite."
Shen Zhiyou became unhappy when she heard this.
Just as I was about to speak, I saw that my own mother's eyes were almost glued to the noodles.
The topic suddenly changed: "Forget it then."
Chen Cuijuan: "??? I've already done it, what are you doing?"
Seeing her daughter was about to take the noodles away, Chen Cuijuan immediately became anxious and ran to the table and sat down obediently.
After taking a sip of the soup, her eyes narrowed beautifully, "Oh my god, it smells so good, Gu Ye's cooking skills are pretty good."
Shen Zhiyou smiled proudly: "His cooking skills were average before, but now he cooks more at home, and the food he cooks is getting better and better."
Chen Cuijuan glanced at her daughter unhappily, but she was satisfied in her heart: "Xiao Gu is training so hard, and you still let him cook."
"She also has to attend classes during the week and she's pregnant, and I have a lot of energy."
Before Shen Zhiyou could say anything, Gu Ye quickly defended her. Chen Cuijuan's smile deepened, "Alas, pregnancy is really not easy, especially with twins. The belly is heavy."
Gu Ye pursed his lips and looked at his wife with some guilt.
Chen Cuijuan was even more satisfied. When a couple lives together, it is very important to have someone who understands their feelings. She feels relieved that her son-in-law is a caring person.
