"It's good that there is someone who can control her, otherwise, she will become a disaster for your family." Qiao Mo thought that fortunately, Father Kang still had some brains, otherwise, she would have to consider whether to continue with him. She didn't want to quarrel with a bad mother-in-law from time to time.
"Don't worry. We won't live with her after we get married. We'll have very little time to interact with her, and she won't be able to control us." Kang Mingyuan also understood what she meant. "You're digging a hole by the wall. What are you planning to plant?"
"I plan to plant a row of weeping crabapples there, so they can bloom in the spring and bear fruit in the fall."
"The stems of the weeping crabapple are beautiful. If you plant more of them, they'll form a beautiful wall. It's a pity they're not climbers, otherwise it would be even better if they could climb up the fence." Kang Mingyuan had also seen weeping crabapples. "You rest while I dig the holes. Approximately how far apart should the plants be?"
"Plant them a little densely, so that when they bloom, it will look like a wall at a glance." Qiao Mo thought that she wanted to plant a row of roses and let them climb on the fence, but reality does not allow it. She plans to plant them densely now and transplant them later when the trees grow up.
"Xiaojun, I'm going to work. You stay here and play with your aunt."
Kang Mingyuan went to work, so Qiao Mo had to help take care of the child. Fortunately, Xiaojun was a big boy and didn't need her to worry much.
"Auntie, your house is so big." Xiaojun is also smart. After knowing that she is his uncle's girlfriend, he consciously changed his words.
"Is your house bigger?" Qiao Mo asked with a smile.
"No, my house only has one, two, three, and four rooms." Xiaojun counted his house with his fingers. "And we live on the third floor. We don't have a yard, and we can't plant trees."
"Oh, so Xiaojun lives in an apartment building. Are there a lot of children playing with you in the yard?" Qiao Mo knew he was talking about their home in the army. Kang Mingyuan's eldest brother, Kang Zhiyuan, worked in the field troops outside Donghai. I heard that he was a regimental officer. His sister-in-law was a military doctor and worked in the military hospital where his eldest brother worked.
"Yes, there are quite a few people living in the family compound, including quite a few children." Xiaojun nodded, "It's just that I'm already in the Red Education Class, so I can't play with the children anymore."
"It seems that our little Jun is already a big boy and can't play crazy anymore." Qiao Mo knew that the Yuhong class he was talking about was the kindergarten class in the future.
"Well, he will be going to school in the second half of the year. I won't have time to take care of Xiaoliang anymore. I'm really worried about him." Xiaojun sighed like an adult.
"Your parents will consider this matter, you don't have to worry." Qiao Mo smiled and touched his head, then went to the study and got a comic book for him, "Xiaojun, you can play here by yourself. I'll go prepare dinner."
“Auntie, let’s go back and eat. You don’t have to prepare it for us.”
"Let's have dinner here today. Auntie will make delicious food for Xiaojun."
Qiao Mo walked into the kitchen, locked the door and entered the space. He caught a big male fish from the pond, and went to the kitchen to get a piece of old tofu, a cured rabbit, a small piece of lean meat and some vegetables.
She planned to cook the fish in two ways: stew the fish head with tofu and boil the rest into fish. She only ate half of the cured rabbit, chopped it into small pieces, and prepared to stir-fry it with red peppers. She also chopped some minced meat and steamed it into a minced meat egg for Xiaojun. After doing all this, she washed the rice and cooked it.
She cooked the rice on the fire before opening the kitchen door, processing the fish and then marinating it. She soaked the cured rabbit meat in clean water to remove the salt, and then washed the vegetables, while keeping an eye on the fire: there were not many vegetables at this time, except for the bean sprouts to be put into the boiled fish, and she only washed a small rapeseed.
