The man suddenly started circling around Yu Sui, looking at her left and right. He looked like a weird and stupid bear.
Yu Sui was so amused by him that she pushed him and said, "What are you doing? Go away!"
The man grabbed her hand and kissed it twice:
"Hehe, I'm just happy. My wife is so capable. I'm so happy! By the way, how long can this cake last? If it can be kept for a long time, I'll ask the battalion commander's sister-in-law. She's a manager at the supply and marketing cooperative. Can she help you purchase it? Then, won't you be able to sell more?"
"An idea!" Yu Sui's eyes lit up when she heard this. She even ignored the man holding her hand and kissing her randomly, and immediately expanded her thoughts excitedly:
"This cake is actually a biscuit. The further north you go, the colder it gets. It should be fine for a month. But what you said reminds me. I can try to make some desiccant and vacuum-pack it. That way it can last even longer! Maybe I can even sell it in the north!"
"Desiccant? Vacuum packaging? Sui, how do you know all this?"
"Uh..." Yu Sui was startled, almost getting carried away. "It was Zhang Caifeng who said that. She went to the Food Section of the Commerce Bureau to apply for approval, and they taught her to pay attention to food safety."
"Oh, really. Do you want to do it today? If so, I can help you."
"The rice needs to be soaked today, so it can be made tomorrow. The most we can do today is grind it into flour. But the flower candy can be made tomorrow. Go and help me light the fire."
"Hey! I'll go chop some wood first!"
The young couple immediately got busy.
On this day, the two of them made sugar and ground flour together, cooperating very well.
Xia Lin is physically strong, so he helps with a lot of the work, which saves Yu Sui a lot of trouble, so she can finish the work quickly.
Yu Sui took advantage of the free time, sat at the dining table in the kitchen, and wrote something like a food instruction manual for each candy.
It means stating the ingredients of the food, how to store it, how to eat it, etc.
In order to make the products more effective and to encourage Xia Lin to help promote them to the battalion commander's wife, Yu Sui even drew the wrapping paper herself.
The pink paper is painted with patterns and calligraphy that are in line with the times, such as "Serve the People" and "Grasp the Revolution and Promote Production", which looks very distinctive.
Xia Lin came over to take a look and was surprised again: "You can do this?"
"Uh... aren't you going to show it off? Then I'll have to think hard to make it look good. I can't let you embarrass yourself in front of your comrades."
This touched Xia Lin so much that he immediately held Yu Sui's face and kissed her: "Sui, Xiao Sui, Yu Xiao Sui, you are really a fairy!"
Xia Lin said a word and kissed Yu Sui. Yu Sui didn't even have time to push him away: "What are you doing... um... you..."
In the end, Yu Sui was held in Xia Lin's arms, nestled against his neck, unable to speak.
The small kitchen was filled with the sweet aroma of malt sugar and crushed peanuts, as well as the ambiguous atmosphere of love between men and women that could not be expressed clearly.
Xia Lin picked up Yu Sui and placed her on her lap, her breath blowing on her neck: "Sui, I'm thinking of you, you're all in my heart... Well... If I go to the army, you have to wait for me at home, understand? In a year, we will... be a real couple, right?"
Yu Sui didn't say anything.
The man's emotions were too passionate, and she was about to be overwhelmed by him.
Just when I didn't know what to do, a cough sounded at the door: "Cough cough cough! Sui, is lunch ready?"
Yu Sui looked back, but didn't see anyone. She quickly jumped off Xia Lin's lap like a frog and said, "Mom, you're back? Um, why are you back so early? I'm making candy, but it's not cooked yet."
Sun Yuying then came in and glanced at Yu Sui sideways: "Good morning? I'll be back later. I'm afraid you'll be too busy... I won't be able to eat!"
That’s true!
Xia Linbei sat with his head down in embarrassment, not moving.
Yu Sui poked him with her finger: "Go and light the fire!"
Xia Lin then hunched his back and ran behind the stove: "Oh, I'll cook it right away."
Yu Sui thought the matter was over, but later that night, Sun Yuying ran into Yu Sui's room and whispered, "Hey, daughter, you...didn't you do anything while your father and I were away?"
Yu Sui: "I did it. I made flower candies."
"That's not what I'm asking you."
"Then what are you asking? Oh, I also made some facial cleanser for dry skin in autumn. You can put some on it too, Mom."
"That's not what I'm asking you!"
"Then what are you asking?"
"Oh, it's Xia Lin, does he have... you?"
"Which one?"
"that!"
"Which one is that?"
Sun Yuying pushed her daughter onto the bed and spanked her twice: "I think you did it on purpose! Did he sleep with you?"
Yu Sui giggled: "No! Mom, don't be crazy. We just kissed and didn't do anything else. Why did you hit me?"
Sun Yuying sat on the edge of the bed, frowning at Yu Sui, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
The kerosene lamp stretched her shadow very long, completely covering Yu Sui. She rubbed her hands for a while, her old face flushed, and finally spoke:
"Sui, you're not a child anymore. I wanted to tell you that on your wedding day... well, as for men, if they really can't bear it, don't be too arrogant. Just... just do that. They're soldiers, and they might be away for a year or two. We don't know how dangerous or difficult the work they'll do is. You... you should also leave some thoughts for them, understand?"
Yu Sui rolled her eyes at her. "It's not me who said we wouldn't consummate the marriage. You're really thinking about your son-in-law and not considering your daughter is still young."
"Tsk! Why do you always say young? My mother was thirteen when she gave birth to your uncle, and I was seventeen when I gave birth to your sister. How can you say seventeen is still young? Oh, it's up to you. Anyway, I tell you, Xia Lin said that because she loves you. If you don't love your man, then you are just being arrogant. I'm leaving!"
Sun Yuying jumped up and ran away, making the bed creak a few times.
Yu Sui thought about yesterday's events, curled up in the quilt and smiled.
She actually quite enjoys the current situation. There are expectations between them, and the man is more partial to her. He is the kind of man who can treasure her properly without her having to invest too much emotion.
This was the kind of marriage she had imagined.
But in later times, when men and women are dating, there are too many things to consider.
Especially when she has achieved some success in her career and has become wealthy, choosing a man is no longer a simple matter.
Right now, with such pure feelings... She is quite satisfied, so let's leave it this way for now.
Just let nature take its course.
She doesn't care whether a man is holding back or not!
Yu Sui fell asleep with peace of mind.
