When Xie Zhengchuan approached, Su Li felt like she was hit by hormones. She didn't think too much about it at first. As an outsider, she was the one who took over the magpie's nest. She originally wanted to raise the child. After all, she had the space and resources, so it was more than enough for her to raise a few children.
Now that Xie Zhengchuan is back, she wants to treat him to good food and drink, but she forgot that the original owner, Su Li, and Xie Zhengchuan were husband and wife. Although the original owner was very pretentious, she was the mother of his two children after all. The fact that he can now get close to Su Li openly shows that he no longer cares about his previous lover, otherwise they would have quarreled a long time ago.
Su Li subconsciously took two steps back.
"Why, we don't want to measure you, but how can we measure you when you are so far away from me?"
Hearing his joking tone, Su Li glanced at him, took a step forward, put her arms around his waist, and measured him with a tape measure.
Xie Zhengchuan felt her little hands doing whatever they wanted on his body. He was originally a little playful towards his young wife, but now his body became a little stiff.
Su Li measured it and wrote down the size. Several children looked at their parents and laughed.
Xie Zhengchuan stretched out his hand, clenched his fist, put it to his lips and coughed, then said to the children: "Tiedan, Huzi, Shitou, Baoya, the rest of you go out and play first!"
Tiedan and the others looked at Su Li, and Su Li thought, why are you looking at me? It’s not me who asked you to leave.
Su Li knew that Xie Zhengchuan might have something to say to her.
"Listen to Daddy and go out and play first! Tiedan, take two pieces of egg cakes and give them to Lidan to take with you. Don't let others see them."
Nowadays, almost every household has enough to eat, or only two meals a day. She doesn't want Li Dan to be the subject of gossips by others.
Xie Zhengchuan raised his eyebrows after hearing this, "You are kind-hearted now?"
"It's not about being kind or not, he's just a poor kid."
Tiedan took two cakes and put them in his pocket, then went out with Huzi and the other kids. Huzi was a little anxious, as he wanted to show off to his friends that their father was back, that he and Shitou were not fatherless children, and his mother was not a widow who would not remarry.
Su Li collected the paper, pen and fabric and said, "Is there anything you want to say?"
Xie Zhengchuan watched Su Li bending over to collect things, and then he walked up to her and hugged her from behind. Su Li suddenly froze, not daring to move. She had never been hugged like this by a man since she was a child. She opened her eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.
"I've listened to you. You've worked hard at home. You've taken good care of the children and parents. You've been wronged during this period. I'm here and I won't let you suffer anymore. Please sit down and wait for me."
Xie Zhengchuan pushed Su Li down on the chair and then walked out.
Su Li blinked. Was she being taken advantage of? Right!
Before she could react, Xie Zhengchuan came back with his bag.
When I opened the bag, I found a change of clothes, a pair of Liberation shoes, two pairs of socks, 10 cans of meat, a military water bottle, a notebook, and a bulging small package.
Xie Zhengchuan took out the package and put it in Su Li's hand. "This is all the money I have. It's all here. From now on, all the money in the family will be given to you for safekeeping. Next year, I will be the director of the county police station. I will also work when I am free. If you want to write a book, then write a book. If you don't want to write, then take care of the children."
Su Li felt a little uncomfortable, after all, she still had his pension to return, and now she got another package of money, but she still took it. When she opened the package, she was shocked, "So much? How much does it cost?"
"㫦千." Xie Zhengchuan glanced at Su Li.
"Why is it so much? I received a pension last time, and I also receive 28 yuan every month. What did you do?"
Not to mention that she herself had more than 10,000 yuan, the last time Xie Zhengchuan received compensation was already a huge sum of money, and the amount of money she had in her hands now was something that ordinary people couldn't even imagine.
"I have performed great service, so the last round of pension will not be deducted. This time, 2,700 yuan is a bonus from the last round, and the rest of the money and tickets are given by my comrades and leaders.
But don't worry, I won't take money from my comrades.
I will slowly send it to them when I get a job. If I send it now, they won’t want it, so feel free to use it!"
Not to mention the money, just these industrial coupons, food coupons, cloth coupons and tickets are extremely rare, and they are also valid nationwide.
After Xie Zhengchuan finished speaking, he looked at Su Li steadily.
Su Li was silent for a moment. Director! I have to be careful when I go to the underworld from now on.
"Hey, I've kept all these things, but we still don't need the money from your comrades. We can send it to them later. We won't feel at ease if we don't have the money. It's better to earn it ourselves."
"Also, now that you're back, don't work too hard in the future, whether you're at work or on the job. If you encounter any problems, think about your children first.
You don’t have to worry about what’s going on at home, but for now you should sleep in the east room! The kids have gotten used to sleeping with me, especially Baoya, who doesn’t feel safe and often wakes up when I’m not around.”
Su Li admired herself so much, how could she come up with such a stupid excuse.
Xie Zhengchuan was very relieved to hear her words, but when he heard that she let him sleep alone, he felt a little aggrieved for some reason. This meant she wanted money and tickets but didn't want him anymore.
Xie Zhengchuan glanced at her sideways.
"What are you looking at!" Su Li glanced at him and glared at him.
Regardless of Xie Zhengchuan's expression, he climbed onto the kang with the package in his hand in a good mood and put all the things into the kang cabinet, which was actually placed in the space.
There were some military books about Xie Zhengchuan in the kang cabinet. Su Li took them out, handed them to him and said, "Keep these things for yourself! I think they should be very precious to you."
Xie Zhengchuan stroked his military uniform and books, said nothing, and went out with his things.
Su Li received a huge sum of money today and was in a good mood. After all, who could complain about having too much money? She hummed a little tune while preparing lunch in the kitchen.
When the weather is cold, eating mutton is the best thing to do, so at noon, I cooked a pot of mutton soup and heated up 10 steamed buns. Originally, Su Li wanted to heat up 7 buns, but thinking about Xie Zhengchuan's physique, he might eat a lot at some point, so she made a dish of pork stewed with Chinese cabbage, vermicelli and five-spice powder.
After Su Li finished her work, she called Tiedan and the others to come home for dinner. From a distance, she saw Tiedan trying hard to pull Lidan. Su Li ran over to separate the two children, "What's going on?"
Tiedan's daughter: "Mom, Lidan hasn't eaten for two days. I want to bring him home to eat something."
Li Dan's face turned a little red. Although Tiedan asked him to go before, he had never been there once. He knew that no one had been there. It was good enough for him to have a bowl of wild vegetable porridge at home. Why should he go to Tiedan's house to eat the food?
"Come on! Tiedan, didn't auntie tell you before that if you are hungry, come to my house to eat. I will give you a bite to eat. Come on, come with me."
Su Li dragged Li Danqian home without saying a word, and Hu Zi and others followed.
Shitou said softly beside Li Dan: "Come if I tell you to. If you don't eat enough, you won't be able to beat your brother and your younger brother and you will be bullied."
Hu Zi pulled Shitou and said, "Don't listen to Shitou. You can definitely win. Your brother and your brother are just weaklings. If they bully you, tell me and we will help you beat them up."
Tiedan looked at his two younger brothers talking and wanted to stop them but felt that it was unreasonable, so he nodded and looked at Lidan with bright eyes. Baoya was a little speechless, and took two quick steps forward to pull Su Li, "Mom, the brothers want to fight."
Su Li naturally listened to the children and said to Bao Ya, "Don't worry about them."
Su Li usually took the children to eat at the small table in the kitchen, but Xie Zhengchuan was a tall man over 1.8 meters tall, which made the kitchen seem particularly crowded. Su Li simply brought the food to the dining table in the main room.
I specially poured a few glasses of wine for Xie Zhengchuan, and each person had a big bowl of mutton soup, in which the mutton was stewed until soft and tender, with shredded Chinese cabbage, shredded radish, coriander and shredded ginger, with pepper, Chinese vinegar, wolfberry and red dates added, and there was no smell of mutton at all.
In this cold winter, drinking a sip of this delicious drink and eating a piece of steamed bun with soybean flour is particularly satisfying.
Su Li added some shredded red pepper to the five-spice meat stew with mustard greens and vermicelli, which was delicious for the children.
The whole family felt relaxed after the meal. Xie Zhengchuan was full and looked at Su Li's eyes with redness and tenderness. He felt that his wife was perfect no matter how he looked at her: virtuous, housekeeping, gentle and considerate.
Su Li's scalp tingled when she was looked at like that. What's wrong with this guy? Why does he look so lewd? Is it because she is particularly beautiful today?
Li Dan was very full after eating. He had eaten too much and he hadn't felt this full in a long time. The last time he felt so full was when he drank pear soup at Su Li's house.
He wished he could eat this much in the future, but he also knew that he should not be greedy. He was already very grateful to Su Li's family.
After dinner, Su Li asked them to go out and play. The weather was getting colder and Li Dan couldn't wear warm clothes. Su Li asked him to come to her house every afternoon with Tiedan and others to play and drink some ginger soup to keep warm in winter. Li Dan wiped his eyes with his sleeve and nodded.
