At noon, Xie Zhengchuan cooked three dishes and a soup. When the kids from their parents' house came home from school, they all pouted as if they had been wronged when they saw that it was their father who cooked the meal.
Su Li just wanted to laugh when she saw this. She thought Xie Zhengchuan's cooking was delicious, but it couldn't be compared with hers. What's more, she sometimes liked to use the seasonings and broth from the space when cooking.
"Okay, babies, Dad has been working hard all afternoon, doing the laundry and cooking, so give me some face!"
Hu Zi immediately said in a flattering tone: "Dad, I love your cooking. Really, I miss it every day!"
Shitou was speechless when he saw his brother's expression. He even rolled his eyes. Didn't he just not want to practice more? He thought others didn't know.
Shitou: "Dad, I love it too. Your cooking is much better than grandma's."
Huzi, Tiedan, Lidan, Baoya, "..."
However, the children all thought that the food their father cooked was simply much more delicious than that cooked by their grandmother.
In fact, the main reason why Xie Qi is reluctant to use spices and salt when cooking.
Although life is better now and she has her own salary, she is the top employee in the Xie family and Xie Yu always gives in to her, but she still can't change her thrifty nature.
Xie Zhengchuan glanced at the little ones and said, "Eat quickly. After dinner, I will go find your grandfather to take you to school."
"Oh!" several little guys answered.
Su Li added a chopstick of food to each of the children.
"By the way, has there been any result on Yang Meiling's case? Is there any explanation?"
Xie Zhengchuan smiled and said, "Mrs. Liu brought her son and daughter-in-law to the police station and threw a tantrum. They almost smashed the police station's phone. This alone is enough to warrant detention, not to mention that the three of them did it together. However, Yang Meiling was fined. The two parties each insisted on their own opinions. Mrs. Liu and Shen Heqin were both detained for three months, and Liu Sigen and a half."
"that's all?"
"Uncle Waishan will help Yang Meiling to divide the family property. From what Uncle Waishan said, there is a cowshed where the people who were sent down to the countryside lived next to Daniu's house at the end of the village. The foundation of that place can be given to her, and the village can help build two adobe and thatched houses. Anyway, no one is at the Liu family during this period, so she can stay there temporarily with her children. Liu Sigen's children also need someone to take care of them."
"That's fine. Then we'll go and help out. The people from our sugar factory have discussed sending something. What do you think I should send?"
Xie Zhengchuan glanced at Su Li and sighed. This woman was just too enthusiastic.
"You decide! It's fine as long as it's close enough."
Su Li nodded. Everyone would give something as a gift. Although their family was well off in the eyes of outsiders, they couldn't give anything too eye-catching. This would make it difficult for others to accept and would easily cause trouble.
We have a lot of cloth scraps left over from making clothes at home, which can be given to her. They are enough to make a few pairs of cotton shoes for the winter. We also have two half-worn bed sheets at home that can be given to her, either to make a quilt or to make clothes and shoes.
After eating, several children went to school.
Su Limei asked Xie Zhengchuan to be busy. After cleaning up the dishes, Su Li made a cup of milk and cut some fruits for Xie Zhengchuan. She told him to eat and take a nap and have a good rest at home.
"Take a good rest later. Don't cook tonight. Wait until I get home to do it. I have to go to the sugar factory later. By the way, I have sorted out the novels I wrote here. Please go to the county town tomorrow to help me mail them out."
Su Li continued to talk, not noticing Xie Zhengchuan's sharp eyes at all.
When I found out, he had already been embraced by me.
"What are you doing?"
Xie Zhengchuan hugged Su Li tightly, resting his chin on her shoulder. With the warmth and softness in his arms, he sighed comfortably, "Hmm~ Sleep."
Su Li blushed, "Go to sleep by yourself and let me go. I still have work to do."
"You don't have to go. When I came back, I told Uncle Waishan and asked him to go to the sugar factory this afternoon. You've been working hard during this period, even busier than me, leaving early and returning late. You can also take a good rest this afternoon."
Su Li didn't think that he had asked for leave for her. She felt warm in her heart and raised her hand to touch Xie Zhengchuan's eyebrows and the big bruise under his eyes, feeling distressed.
"Xie Zhengchuan, you look so haggard. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you in the army."
Xie Zhengchuan raised his chin and rubbed it against her cheek. "It's not hard at all in the army. It's the duty of a man to fight on the battlefield and defend his country."
Su Li put her arms around his neck and kissed him.
It was such a quiet afternoon, the two of them were talking tenderly, Su Li felt very contented in her heart, and she didn't want to think that her simple and meaningless kiss directly ignited the man, and he picked her up and put her on the bed.
The atmosphere changed immediately.
Later, when Su Li's brain was blown away for several times, she had no idea how the two people who were having a good chat could turn into such a harmonious relationship.
After working all afternoon, neither of them had a good rest.
Just when Su Li was so tired that she could hardly open her eyes, there was a loud banging on the door outside.
"Is Zhengchuan here? Is Su Li here? Is anyone home? Something's going to happen. Baoya fell into the water."
"Zhengchuan! Third brother, third brother's wife, hurry up, something happened, Baoya fell into the water."
"Someone, coming right up."
Su Li responded.
When the two heard the shouting outside, they got up and hurriedly put on their clothes. Xie Zhengchuan dressed quickly and was putting on his shoes. Su Li's hair was messy and she hadn't put on her clothes yet. She hurriedly said to Xie Zhengchuan, "You go first, I'll come over later."
After that, she turned around and went to the main room first, pretending to take something from the cupboard. In fact, she took out a small bottle of spiritual spring water from the space and handed it to Xie Zhengchuan who was about to leave. "Zhengchuan, if Baoya has any problems, give this to her to drink. It will be useful."
Xie Zhengchuan took the spiritual spring water, looked at Su Li deeply, turned around and ran out.
Su Li put on her clothes, took out a thick coat from the closet, and hurried over.
When Su Li was about to leave, she heard a shrill voice, which sounded like Mrs. Xie. She hurried over, squeezed through the crowd, and saw Xia Xiuzhi lying on the ground with a miserable face and faint traces of blood. She was horrified.
"What's going on? What happened to my sister-in-law? Where's Baoya?"
Xie Zhenghe was holding the trembling Baoya in his arms, and several children were standing beside him, crying out of fear.
Li Dan: "Mom, it was Liu Dachui and Xie Guangqing who bullied Baoya. They pushed Baoya into the river when we weren't paying attention. It was my aunt who saved Baoya. She started bleeding...bleeding, wuwu..."
Several experienced maids nearby said, "This is a premature birth. Hurry up and take the baby home! She can't give birth here."
Xie Zhengyang hugged Xia Xiuzhi, his whole body trembling, "Third wife, your sister-in-law is going to be okay, right? She's not going to be okay, right?"
Xia Xiuzhi also raised her eyelids at this moment. She felt very tired and seemed to be sleeping. "Sister-in-law, I...I'm afraid I'm going to die."
