Now, Situ Haoyu often comes to the military area to play with Naonao and Tengteng. Naonao and Tengteng also often bring their younger siblings to the farm to play with Situ Haoyu.
Xiao Han's parents-in-law and Situ Haoyu's father often work together. Situ Haoyu is quite familiar with them as well.
Han Bin sat down on the chair, holding his daughter. "Did Haoyu say why they wanted to see me?"
"No." The older sister touched Han Bin's face. "Dad, you've lost weight."
"Hmm. The food outside isn't very good."
Xiaoman glanced at her husband and then at her daughter. These two are really something. They've lost weight in just over ten days? Her husband went to a meeting, not to fight a war.
The older sister touched Han Bin's face again. "Dad, I'll go make you something nice to eat." The sisters had been learning to cook from Old Guo.
"Okay." Han Bin stood up, holding his sister. "Dad will go with you."
"Okay." The older sister felt she couldn't just cook for her father all the time. "Mom, what do you want to eat? Your daughter will make it for you."
Xiaoman deliberately mentioned a dish that was very difficult to make.
The older sister frowned slightly. "Okay."
Xiaoman smiled. "Your dad has been gone for so long, shouldn't you make him some good food to nourish him? Look, he's lost weight. How about this, you make him some good food for a month."
After listening, Han Bin and his sister exchanged glances.
Han Bin: Your mother is jealous of us.
Sister: Mm-hmm.
Han Bin: Quickly comfort your mother.
Sister: Mm-hmm.
Han Bin put his sister on the ground.
The older sister ran over and hugged Xiaoman's leg: "Mom, you look so beautiful today!"
Xiaoman smiled. "You look better today than yesterday."
"Hehe...Mom, I dreamt about you last night."
Xiaoman raised an eyebrow. "I dreamt about you last night too. I dreamt that you cooked for your dad for a month."
The older sister's chubby body trembled slightly: "Mom, I'm still a child."
Xiaoman said, "When your second brother was your age, he could already cook a whole table of dishes."
"Uh..." The older sister looked at Han Bin. Meaning: She'd failed to appease her mother, what to do?
Han Bin: Uh... your mom must have wanted you to cook for everyone for a long time. How about you cook for everyone for a month?
The older sister's chubby body trembled again: "A month from now, your chubby daughter will become a skinny daughter."
Han Bin: It's alright. Dad will have your brothers help you.
The older sister's small shoulders slumped: "Fine. Since I can't avoid it, then..." She straightened her shoulders. "Mom, then I'll give you and Dad a good nourishing meal."
Xiaoman smiled. "Okay. I'll make a menu for you in a bit."
"The menu...?" The older sister was startled by Xiaoman again. If her mother ordered difficult-to-make dishes every day... then... The older sister looked at Han Bin again. Dad, your chubby daughter is about to become a skinny daughter.
Han Bin: Uh... actually... actually, it's quite nice for girls to be thin.
Sister: Dad, you'll be worried if I lose weight.
Han Bin: Then your father and mother should discuss it.
Sister: Mm-hmm.
Han Bin moved closer to Xiaoman. "Wife, our daughter still doesn't know how to cook many dishes."
Xiaoman smiled. "It's alright. I'll have Uncle Guo teach her."
"Uh... this... I probably won't be able to learn it in a short time, right?"
Xiaoman glanced at her older sister: "If others can't learn it, our daughter definitely can. Our daughter is so smart."
Sister: "Mom, I'm not smart. Really. Mom, I'm really stupid."
Xiaoman: "Since you're not very smart, then work for a few more months. Diligence can make up for lack of talent."
"A few months?!" The older sister's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Mom, I was just being modest, just being modest. Hehe... Mom, you're right. What others can't learn, your daughter definitely can. Hehe..."
Xiaoman raised an eyebrow at her sister: "Are you sure?"
Sister: "OK. OK. Hehe..."
Xiaoman: "Alright then. I'll be waiting for you to give me some good nourishment this month."
Sister: "Okay. Mom, you go back to your room and rest. Dinner will be ready soon."
Xiaoman hummed in agreement and went back inside. After Xiaoman left, her older sister hugged Han Bin's leg. "Dad, Mom is trying to force the seedlings to grow too fast."
Han Bin patted his sister's head. "It's alright, it's alright. Your Grandpa Guo and your brothers will help you."
"Father, did Mother already have this planned out all along?"
"It should be. Let's go. Let's go to the kitchen and make something nice for your mother."
"Okay. Dad, do my grandma and great-grandma miss me?"
"Yes. Your grandma and great-grandma brought you lots of delicious food."
...
Old Guo was busy in the kitchen when Han Bin brought his sister in. Knowing that Xiaoman had asked his sister to cook for him for a month, Old Guo pinched her nose. "You went and bothered your mother again?"
"No. I..." The older sister recounted what had just happened. "Grandpa Guo, my mother must be jealous."
"You can even be jealous?"
"Okay. Grandpa Guo, let's make some stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar later."
Lao Guo: "Okay."
Han Bin pinched his older sister's chubby cheeks. "Well, you've got some nerve to talk back to your mom. Aren't you afraid she'll make you cook next month and the month after that?"
Sister: "Uh... Grandpa Guo, let's make Cool and Smooth Shredded Potatoes in a few days."
Lao Guo: "Okay."
During dinner, Nao Nao and Tengteng, knowing that their older sister had to cook for a month, said they wanted to help her. Even the younger brother said he wanted to help his sister cook.
Xiaoman smiled.
The older sister was overjoyed that Xiaoman didn't object. "Mom, what do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll make it for you. Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Shang, what do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll make it for you."
After finishing their meal, Lao Shang and Lao Guo went out for a walk.
The children went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Only Han Bin and Xiao Man remained in the room.
Han Bin looked at Xiaoman and asked, "Have you been wanting your daughter to cook for a while now?"
"Um."
"I knew it would be like this. By the way, do you know why Xiaohan's parents-in-law wanted to see me?"
"Several people from the farm have returned to the city."
Han Bin frowned. "They want to go back now?"
"have no idea."
"Then I'll have Nao Nao and Tengteng go ask them." Now Nao Nao and Tengteng often go to the farm to play with Situ Haoyu.
"Um."
On the other side, after asking Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu's mother went back to her and Xiuxiu's father's room.
"So? Is Xiuxiu willing?"
Xiuxiu's mother sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed): "That fool. I asked her if she had taken a fancy to that sickly man. She kept saying that she was not good enough for him."
"Then let's ignore her. Go to that sickly man's house after dark and ask them if they'd be willing to let our Xiuxiu marry into their family."
"OK."
After dark, Xiuxiu's mother quietly went to Yangyang's grandmother's house.
After a while, Xiuxiu's mother came out of Yangyang's grandmother's house.
After Xiuxiu's mother returned, Xiuxiu's father asked her, "Is his family willing?"
"How about... how about we find Xiuxiu a farmer?"
Xiuxiu's father's face immediately darkened. "What? They don't want to?"
