Chapter 61: I need to give my daughter-in-law a good treat. The army reward has been issued.
Over there, Song Chuliu planned several "big pie" for Chen Mianmian, and there must be one that can trap this greedy little guy.
Besides, even if Chen Mianmian doesn't fall for it, there is still Su Buyan. Her husband is in her hands, so she is not afraid that the girl will be disobedient, hahaha!
This side returns to the timeline when Chen Mianmian left. The three of them returned home in high spirits. Along the way, Su Juexia held her hand, her eyes full of pride and admiration.
"Hey, why is there a basket of eggs at the door?"
Just as Liu Ruolan was about to take out her key to open the door, she saw a small basket hanging at the gate, which was full of eggs.
The three of them looked around but didn't see anyone.
"Oh, this isn't a gift from someone to celebrate our housewarming, is it? It's so generous?"
Nowadays, when people who are close to each other have happy events, they always give each other practical gifts, and eggs are the most popular for nourishing the body.
But it takes a long time to save up a basket.
"We can't have so much, right?"
Liu Ruolan was a little hesitant to accept it. She had never received so many things in these years.
"Of course, there's something I can't accept. I'll ask him later. If it's not a bribe, then it's a housewarming gift from some shy and enthusiastic citizen.
Even if they sent it to the wrong person, they can come back and apologize and return it.”
Chen Mianmian accepted it quickly and carried the basket into the house. The three of them counted the five hundred yuan again.
"Hehehehe, money is a thing, it's better to rob... ahem, ask for other people's fragrance, Mom, next time someone bullies you, tell me and I will take you to beg for money."
Liu Ruolan looked at her daughter-in-law who supported her and nodded repeatedly with emotion. She was useless, but she gave birth to a good son and daughter. Now that her daughter-in-law was so capable, she would have a good life in the future.
Thinking of Chen Mianmian's injuries, she quickly cleaned up and went to cook. She wanted to make her daughter-in-law plump and white.
When Su Buyan came back from the army carrying a bunch of things, he smelled the rich aroma of egg noodles in the yard.
"Mom, brother, brother is back, let's eat!"
Su Juexia ran out of the east room and happily went to the kitchen to move the tables and chairs.
As the weather gets warmer, everyone likes to eat in the yard, which is not only comfortable but also bright.
When four large bowls of noodles were served, Chen Mianmian was stunned.
Su Buyan and Su Juexia each had one in their bowls. Her bowl had six poached eggs and a full bowl of noodles, more than Su Buyan's.
"This, this is too much!"
Chen Mianmian ate a lot, but this was already the amount for two adults.
"Not much, not much. You're too thin. You need to eat some more. You don't have to do anything at home. Mom will definitely make sure you look pretty."
Liu Ruolan was worried that Chen Mianmian didn't have enough to eat. Today, her daughter-in-law helped her vent her anger and made the people in the family compound no longer dare to look down on her. She was happy and wanted to be nicer to her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, there's also me!"
Su Juexia tugged at Liu Ruolan's sleeve. She turned around and looked at her daughter lovingly, nodding repeatedly.
"Well, now that I have you, how could I forget you? With your sister-in-law, our family is no longer bullied, and I have raised you fat. In the past, it was all because of my uselessness that I caused you to suffer."
Her daughter didn't stutter when she was young, but she was bullied badly and lived with her in her husband's house, suffering fatigue and beatings. Over time, she developed a cowardly and inferior character.
Since Chen Mianmian came, even her daughter seems to have become much more lively.
"No, don't blame Mom. It wasn't easy either."
Su Juexia shook her head. As a daughter, she had seen the suffering her mother had endured and had tried her best to protect herself and her brother.
As the mother and daughter were talking, their eyes were about to turn red again, and Chen Mianmian quickly stretched out her hand to block them.
"Eat quickly, or the noodles will become clumpy."
As Chen Mianmian spoke, she picked up a poached egg and put it in Liu Ruolan's bowl, and told her not to treat herself like this again in the future.
My family is rich, and we can afford to eat.
Chen Mianmian livened up the atmosphere during the meal and everyone enjoyed themselves very happily, especially at the end when she really couldn't eat any more and held her stomach as if she was four months pregnant.
Su Buyan smiled and shook his head, then ate up all the food she had left.
On the way back to the guesthouse, Chen Mianmian recounted what happened today. Seeing Su Buyan frowning, she asked tentatively.
"Do you think I'm embarrassing you by making such a fuss?"
"How could that be? I think you did a great job," Su Buyan quickly shook his head, "I just felt a little uncomfortable because I didn't support you and left you to support everything alone."
"Are you really not ashamed of me? A lot of people think I have mental problems!"
Chen Mianmian was happy when she heard Su Buyan's words, but she still wanted to tease him.
Upon hearing this, Su Buyan stood at attention and looked at Chen Mianmian very seriously.
It doesn’t matter what others think, but Su Buyan is attracted by Chen Mianmian’s bravery, independence and unconventional nature.
I originally thought that Su Buyan was a dull and straight man, but I didn't expect that he was quite good at praising people.
"If you praise me any more, I'll be so happy," Chen Mianmian couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth with joy. She lowered her head a little shyly, "I also think your mother and your sister are good people. They shouldn't be bullied."
In fact, this is Chen Mianmian's biggest advantage that attracts Su Buyan. She is kind, upright, and not a pushover.
Her heart is clear and pure. Anyone who treats her well will be like a ray of sunshine, warming the people around her and making people want to get close to her.
Su Buyan suppressed his pounding heart and took out a passbook and a small box from his trouser pocket.
The passbook was promised to Chen Mianmian before. When the small box was opened, there was a gold ring inside.
“This is the spoils I captured earlier, and the commander gave it to me.
I wanted to give it to my mother, but she was afraid that someone would snatch it away, so she asked me to keep it for my future daughter-in-law. Now I’m giving it to you.
I will also let you wear gold earrings, a gold necklace, and a gold bracelet in the future."
Chen Mianmian stared at the ring with her eyes wide open. Whose nouveau riche made this? It was almost as thick as a knuckle. If you didn't know, you would think it was a nut.
"Haha, I like it very much, thank you." Chen Mianmian accepted the passbook and the ring. "Your marriage report has been approved, right? If it's okay, let's get the certificate as soon as possible.
The guesthouse is inconvenient to live in and a waste of military resources, so it's better to vacate it as soon as possible."
Chen Mianmian took the initiative to bring up the matter of getting a marriage certificate. Su Buyan's face lit up with joy and he nodded quickly, fearing that she would go back on her word.
"We'll get the marriage certificate next time I'm on leave. Go get some red cloth from my mom these few days and make some clothes. Buy whatever you like. If you don't have enough, tell me and I'll apply to the army."
Since Su Buyan was getting married, he went home every day, but he had to go to the company during the day and had no time, so he waited until next week when he was on vacation to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate.
The two of them chatted until they arrived at the guesthouse. Su Buyan had never felt that this distance was so short, and before they knew it, it was time to say goodbye again.
Chen Mianmian waved at him and turned to go upstairs, thinking that she would go to the Song family tomorrow to ask when her bonus and bicycle would be sent to her.
I was still waiting to see Fang Youwei and Xue Jiaren make a fool of themselves.
The next morning, Chen Mianmian saw Su Buyan at the old place again. It seemed that no matter how long she got up, she could see him.
"The chief said your bonus and bicycle have been confirmed and you can collect them today. Fang Youwei's case has also been investigated. He has indeed committed illegal acts and will be punished."
Su Buyan knew that Chen Mianmian had been thinking about this matter. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, her sleepy eyes immediately widened.
"I'm not sleepy anymore now that you're talking about this. Come on, take me to see Fang Youwei's miserable plight with my own eyes and cheer me up."
