When he sent the little old lady home, Su Qinghu called home on the landline and said he would be home in an hour and asked them to open the door.
After receiving the call from Su Qinghu, Ms. Meng put on her military coat and waited to open the door for her daughter-in-law.
So, as soon as she heard the sound of the car braking, she got up from the bed and hurried out. That was why she was able to open the door immediately when Su Qinghu knocked.
Seeing Su Qinghu smiling at her, Ms. Meng wanted to say something, so she hurriedly urged him, "Come in quickly! Let's talk inside if you have anything to say! Look, it's still snowing now."
Su Qinghu hurried in and waited for Ms. Meng to lock the door before following her into the house.
The two children were already asleep, so Su Qinghu and Ms. Meng spoke softly so as not to wake them up.
"Mom, go and rest quickly." Su Qinghu rubbed his hands, picked up the thermos and walked out, "I'll go wash up."
When she came back from washing up, Ms. Meng was still waiting for her. "Are you hungry? We have eggs at home. I'll make you some poached eggs."
Su Qinghu shook his head: "No, no, I've been driving all day and can't eat anything. I'll drink some hot water, wash my feet, and then go to sleep."
"Then go wash your feet," Ms. Meng said, heading to the kitchen. "We have a gas stove at home, so we can eat whatever you want right away. Since you said you can't eat anything, I'll make you a bowl of noodles with a poached egg, a few green leaves, and a few drops of sesame oil. It's quick too."
There are several thermoses at home, all filled with boiling water, so there is no need to boil water. Just turn on the gas stove and cook it directly.
Su Qinghu wanted to stop her again, but her mother-in-law, Ms. Meng, had already rushed to the kitchen. She even heard the crisp sound when the gas stove was turned on.
Okay, okay, just eat it. Anyway, mother-in-law just said that she thinks it’s good to eat a bowl of noodles before going to bed.
It was just a bowl of noodles, and it was quick and easy to make. Before Su Qinghu had even finished soaking her feet, she had already brought in the noodles.
"Come, soak your feet and eat at the same time." Ms. Meng handed her the bowl and the chopsticks.
Then he pulled a stool, wrapped himself in his military coat, and watched her eat with a smile.
Su Qinghu swallowed a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of noodles, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Delicious!"
My mother-in-law is not good at cooking other dishes, but she can make simple noodles delicious.
"My child has an exam tomorrow, and he'll be on holiday after that. He'll go get his admission notice when he's 17 or 18."
Ms. Meng watched Su Qinghu eat until her eyes curved slightly, and she felt happy. While watching her eat, she told her about the children and family matters. "They asked me yesterday if you could come back after their exams."
"What can I tell them? I can't guarantee anything," Ms. Meng laughed. "The kids are a little disappointed."
"They are sleeping now. When they wake up tomorrow and see you at home, they will be so happy."
Su Qinghu smiled.
"You're back, and it's snowing! After they finish their exams, they'll definitely be rolling around in the snow." Seeing she finished eating, Ms. Meng took the food. "Several great things have happened at once. They must be so happy!"
Su Qinghu thanked her mother-in-law, Ms. Meng, affectionately, then quickly wiped her feet, put on her cotton slippers, and went to the kitchen.
Just as I put on my shoes, Ms. Meng came back and said, "What are you going to do? Tell me if you have anything to say, and I will do it directly."
She patted her thick military coat and said, "I have this. I'm not afraid of the cold."
Seeing her mention the military coat, Su Qinghu asked in confusion, "Mom, where is the down jacket I made for you when we had it custom-made? Why aren't you wearing it?"
Ms. Meng smiled and said, "The dress looked good quality and stylish. It looked classy, just like something I'd wear for Chinese New Year. I figured since Chinese New Year wasn't long away, I might as well wear it on that day."
Su Qinghu: "..."
Su Qinghu could understand the old man's thoughts, but he didn't quite agree with them.
"Mom, clothes are meant to be worn. I've already had clothes custom-made for the New Year." She sighed, "That down jacket you wore earlier is for everyday wear. Try it on tomorrow. Really, once you wear this, you'll understand the benefits of down jackets."
Lightweight and warm.
Especially for those who are used to wearing thick coats and cotton-padded jackets, when they put on a down jacket for the first time, it really feels like flying.
When Ms. Meng heard that she had already had someone order clothes for the New Year, she took a deep breath.
Su Qinghu saw her take a breath and smirked, "I ordered two sets for each of you."
Ms. Meng was silent.
Two children, her and their grandfather, plus her daughter-in-law and son, twelve sets of clothes for six people...
How much money!
If a set costs a hundred yuan, no, it must be more than a hundred yuan. When she was measured for the clothes, she looked at the materials there, and they were not cheap...
Su Qinghu: "So you should put on your down jacket quickly, otherwise during the New Year, you will have three sets of clothes at once, which will attract more attention!"
"Oh, by the way, you can't wait until next year to wear your new clothes, right?"
Seeing her happy smile, Ms. Meng's mind was in a mess for a while, and finally she sighed in anger, "I'll wear it tomorrow!"
"Tell your dad to put it on too."
She said this as if to express her determination.
Su Qinghu shook her head and said, "Mom, I didn't expect that not only would you not wear new clothes yourself, you wouldn't give new clothes to my dad either."
This is just a joke.
Ms. Meng snorted, "It's not that I don't give him clothes to wear, it's that he doesn't know how to find clothes to wear."
When the clothes were brought back, he was allowed to try them on, so he also knew that there was a new piece of clothing at home.
"He knew his family had made him a new dress," said Ms. Meng. "And I arranged everything for him? He's so happy!"
Su Qinghu laughed muffledly, hummed a few times, and said a few more words before they went to bed.
The snow fell silently all night.
It was really covered in silver. Even the trees were covered with snow. Under the eaves of some houses, there were some small icicles. They were crystal clear and very beautiful, as if the eaves were decorated with small decorations.
Early in the morning on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Erdan, who was awakened by the urge to urinate, let out a shocked "Ah" when he opened the door, and then slipped into the bathroom to solve his personal problem.
Finally, he came out and shouted again, "It's snowing! It's snowing! Brother! It's snowing! After we finish the exam, let's go sledding!"
Dadan was so annoyed that he shouted out the window, "Shut up!"
Ms. Meng got up when she heard the noise and urged Erdan with a smile, "Hurry up and go back to sleep for a while, it's not even six o'clock yet."
Erdan happily returned to the house, "Brother! Brother! Brother! Let's pull the sled after the exam!"
What he called a sled was a piece of board with a hole in the front, a rope passed through it, and the person in front pulled it while running.
