Yu Sui came out of the house and saw it, and said to Han Duomi: "Eat less. I asked my sister to make this for Xia Linsheng to try. Only my sister can make this kind of shortbread. Old Xia hasn't had it yet!"
Han Duomi held up the pancake and looked at it from side to side: "Oh, your sister must be a temperamental person. Only a temperamental person would have the patience to make such a delicate thing."
Yu Sui ignored him.
When it was time to eat, the three of them sat around, and Han Duomi's eyes widened: "Oh, there's chicken soup, Lao Xia, I just drove you a trip, you don't need to thank me so much."
Xia Linsheng quickly placed the bowl of chicken soup in front of Yu Sui: "Don't be tactless, this is for your sister-in-law. Giving you a bite of rice is already good enough. No, you also ate my pancake today, so you can eat less rice."
Han Duomi pointed at the bowl in front of Yu Sui and said, "Are you kidding me? Can sister-in-law eat such a big bowl by herself? Give me a bite, I haven't tasted chicken in a year!"
To be honest, the bowl is really big.
It's an extra-large bowl used in the army canteen, about the same size as an ordinary washbasin.
Xia Linsheng cooked soup with the half-dried and half-marinated chicken that Yu Sui had just brought from her hometown, and then served it all to Yu Sui.
After hearing what Han Duomi said, Yu Sui couldn't help but take two small bowls, scooped one for him and one for Xia Linsheng, and said to Han Duomi: "Old Han, it's no problem for me to give you a bowl, but you are exaggerating. Captain Ding's family doesn't eat chicken for a year? You are kidding me!"
Han Duomi took a sip of the chicken soup and sneered:
"Haha, sister-in-law, if I hadn't told anyone before, I would have been embarrassed by this kind of thing. But now, since they're plotting against me, I don't care. As for the chicken, Captain Ding's family definitely has some, but I can't eat it. Whenever meat is served on the table, Ding Lili's mother always says, 'Oh, raising a daughter is really not worth it. She's married, and I still have to nourish her. Humph!' Sister-in-law, do you think I would dare to eat after hearing such talk? I have to put on a smile and say that I didn't cook well enough and that I have to trouble my mother-in-law to nourish my wife."
Yu Sui felt uncomfortable hearing this.
It turns out that it’s not just the daughter-in-law who has a hard time living with her mother-in-law, but the son-in-law who also has to be bullied when living with his mother-in-law!
But Xia Linsheng said from the side: "Isn't it because you are confused? You married someone else's daughter and you have to live with them. If it's not you who should be bullied, who should be bullied? You deserve it!"
Han Duomi was willing to accept it: "Okay! Old Xia, you are right to scold me. I really deserve it. I won't do it again in the future. I won't get married and save myself this trouble."
Xia Linsheng: "Whether you get married or not is none of my business, but if you come here every day, it does matter to me. You are not allowed to come tomorrow."
Han Duomi was furious: "People like you, are you brothers? I don't know who it was a few days ago, but you asked me to come to your house every day, and you wanted me to sleep in your house. Now that you don't have time to paste paper boxes, you say you are not allowed to come. You are really destroying the bridge after crossing the river!"
"I was just about to ask you, are you brothers? Do you have any tact? Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and you told her that I make paper boxes every day? Don't you know she'll be distressed? Don't you know she'll be sad? Don't you know she won't want to leave me? If she can't leave me, it will be so difficult, you talkative person!"
Han Duomi: "..." Damn! Is this how you feed dog food?
This life is unbearable!
Yu Sui laughed so hard that she finally had to smooth things over:
"Come on, Old Xia, stop talking. If it weren't for Old Han helping you, you wouldn't have the money to pay Wu Su. Old Han, stay in that room tomorrow. I'll take you to the school and explain. From now on, you'll be an employee of our school-run printing factory. They have a small kitchen over there, and I'll advance you food coupons and salary every month. You can take care of it yourself."
Hearing that this was possible, Han Duomi started to show off to Xia Linsheng: "Look, you are my sister-in-law's man, but I am her employee, and you have to support me. I'm going to piss you off to death!"
Xia Linsheng looked up at Yu Sui, his eyes clearly showing displeasure, but he said nothing.
But as soon as Han Duomi left, Xia Linsheng started asking:
"Wife, are you really going to start a factory? I saw a machine in the room where Han Duomi lives. How much does it cost? To buy it for the neighborhood primary school? Why didn't you discuss these things with me? And you just said before that if the country reinstated the college entrance examination, you would take it. You didn't say you wanted to print and sell review materials. These things... I know you can do it, but you should just focus on having children. You shouldn't worry about these things."
Yu Sui smiled. "Can I discuss this with you now? Old Xia, this is what I think. I'm a fairy from heaven. I'm not used to this kind of mortal thing where a penny is split in half to use. I've predicted that various policies will be relaxed in the future. In any era, the timid die of starvation, and the bold die of gluttony. The street primary school and I will set up a small printing factory. We will definitely make a lot of money. Then it will be convenient for us to buy everything, and you won't need to paste paper boxes. As a battalion commander, you should act like a battalion commander. This job is serious. Besides, how much money can you make from pasting paper boxes? It's not enough to buy milk powder for the children in the future."
Xia Linsheng scratched his head: "No, I don't want you to work hard."
"What kind of work doesn't come from hard work? Besides, only with money can we build a country. We need to be very wealthy in the future. When the country needs us, we can immediately provide money to help, just like when the country needed us in the past, we could directly donate airplanes. So I have to do something."
Xia Linsheng stood up and covered Yu Sui's mouth:
"Shh, stop talking nonsense. Wouldn't that make you a capitalist? No, it's enough for you to support yourself. If you're bored staying at home and you tinker with books, I have no objection, but don't even think about becoming rich enough to donate an airplane!"
Yu Sui glared at Xia Linsheng from above his hands: Boring! Men these days are so boring!
Forget it, she has countless money and things in her space, so she won’t tell him!
In this way, Yu Sui started running a small printing factory.
During the day, I went to the factory and taught Han Duomi how to get familiar with the machine. Then I did typesetting, printing, cutting and binding.
Since it was only April 1978 and there was no news from the higher-ups yet, there was plenty of time to work slowly. Yu Sui would carefully explain the printing requirements to Han Duomi.
After all, Han Duomi is a military man, so he is very serious about his work and really needs to work to make money, so he cooperates very well with Yu Sui.
After a few days of operation, printing the review materials became very smooth.
Xia Linsheng had gotten used to Yu Sui's pregnancy and began to get restless.
At night, I began to dare to get closer.
First he stretched out a leg, then he said sweet words: "Honey, can I touch it?"
Touch your belly?
It always works.
But as I touched it, my hand became hotter and hotter.
"Wife, ahem, you said last time, ahem, after three or four months, yes, it won't affect me, huh?"
Yu Sui said nothing.
Xia Linsheng waited for a long time, but finally didn't dare to move: "I'll just ask."
Yu Sui: "Are you really just asking?"
"...Ahem, is this true?"
"Really?"
"......!" Xia Linsheng jumped up: "Really?"
Yu Sui: “Really.”
Xia Linsheng was very excited and hugged Yu Sui tenderly, but at the critical moment he lost his temper: "Forget it, let's do it later. I have the desire but not the courage."
