Chapter 137 Resolve it as soon as possible
Tian Hua breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's good that you're alright. Just take it as me asking casually."
"Sui Sui, eat your food properly. Mom is going to do the laundry. Put any dirty clothes in the basket, and Mom will wash them for you later."
"You're busy with work and heavily pregnant, so you probably don't have much time, unlike Mom, who stays at home all day and has nothing to do."
Last time, her husband took a discarded bicycle from the scrap yard for only 50 cents.
Unexpectedly, after they brought it back, Sui Sui gave them five yuan.
Nowadays, with meat coupons, pork costs 78 cents a pound, and five yuan is enough to buy quite a lot of meat.
They originally didn't want to accept it, since in other families the parents subsidize their sons and daughters-in-law, but they had basically never subsidized the young couple; on the contrary, they were the ones taking care of the family.
How could I possibly accept this money?
However, since her daughter-in-law insisted on giving it to her, and she couldn't refuse, she simply accepted it and saved it. She planned to put it in a red envelope when the baby was born and add some money to it for the baby.
"No need, Mom. I don't have many clothes. I can do it myself. It won't take much time."
Xu Sui couldn't let her mother-in-law help with the laundry, especially her intimate underwear, which she changed and washed almost every day. Every night before bed, she would take them off and throw them in the laundry basket, then wash them by hand.
She feels uncomfortable having someone do her laundry, no matter what kind of clothes they are washing.
Tianhua was somewhat disappointed, feeling that she hadn't been able to help much since her daughter-in-law became pregnant.
Xu Sui immediately noticed that the other person's mood was not right. She put down her chopsticks and smiled, "Mom, you usually cook all the meals for me separately. They are delicious and I like them very much. This is already a great help to us."
"I don't like other people's cooking, but I love your cooking. It's so delicious, and it tastes even better than the food at the state-run restaurants."
Her cooking skills are so-so, barely edible, and she doesn't like cooking.
Qin Yunzhou's skills were also average, a little better than hers, but not by much.
If it weren't for Tianhua helping her every day, they don't know how they would have fared on their own.
Tianhua felt a little embarrassed by the praise, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"How can I compare to the chefs at state-run restaurants? They have real skills, they're ranked, and they have to take exams again and again to get certificates before they can work there."
Xu Sui smiled and said, "I don't care. In my heart, Mom's cooking is the best. I especially love it."
"Even a simple bowl of plain porridge that my mom cooks tastes different from what you get outside. It's obvious that she put a lot of thought into it just for me."
Tianhua's face grew redder and redder as she was praised. She subconsciously covered her burning face, but couldn't help but smile, feeling extremely happy.
"I'm glad you like it. If you like it, Mom will make it for you again. When you're in postpartum confinement, Mom will take care of you and cook you delicious food."
She never knew that after cooking for so many years, someone would actually praise her.
Xu Sui smiled and said, "Okay, with Mom here, Yunzhou and I can rest assured."
……
After breakfast.
Xu Sui went back inside.
Push open the door.
What I saw was a man's smooth, well-defined, thin muscles, and a strong, broad chest...
She was slightly taken aback, not quite able to see clearly yet.
As Qin Yunzhou was getting dressed, he looked up and instantly met the woman's bright, clear gaze. His ears burned instantly, and he quickly put on his clothes, buttoning his white shirt all the way up to cover everything.
Only her slightly reddened earlobes were still exposed.
For a moment, the room was extremely quiet.
After a while, Xu Sui's gaze gradually shifted from Qin Yunzhou's reddened ears, and she said casually, "Mom saw that you hadn't gotten up for a long time and was afraid that you were sick, so I came in to check on you."
Qin Yunzhou gradually calmed down, and the burning sensation on his face slowly subsided. His voice was steady, powerful, clear, and pleasant to the ear.
"I'm fine."
Xu Sui glanced at the dark circles under the man's eyes, then looked away.
It was getting late, and she still had to go to work.
"It's alright, I'll go to work now."
"Didn't you sleep well last night? If you didn't, get some more sleep."
After saying that, Xu Sui rushed off to work.
Qin Yunzhou watched the woman's retreating figure as she left without hesitation, his eyes darkening, his gaze lingering on her.
He definitely didn't sleep well.
He didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.
Not long after I fell asleep.
He had a dream.
He dreamt that two fair-skinned little babies were hugging him tightly, blinking their bright, clear eyes, looking up at him and calling him "Daddy." They also asked him to play with them and tell them stories.
But they complained that his stories weren't good, that they weren't as good as their mothers', that his face was a bit hard, and that his kisses weren't as sweet and soft as their mothers'. They also said that the games he played with them weren't fun.
The last two little ones didn't want to play with him anymore.
They abandoned him and disappeared.
Then...then he couldn't find them anywhere, and then...he woke up.
After waking up, no matter how hard Qin Yunzhou tried to recall, he couldn't remember what the two children looked like.
All I know is that they are twins, a boy and a girl, wearing red bibs. They are fair and tender, like a fragrant milk dumpling, and their voices are so sweet and cute that they melt your heart and make you want to hug them.
It's getting late outside.
Sleeping until this late today is a departure from Qin Yunzhou's usual routine.
Although he didn't sleep well last night, he won't go back to bed to sleep.
I had just come out of the house after getting dressed.
While sweeping the floor, Tianhua noticed the faint dark circles under her son's eyes, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well.
She quickly asked with concern, "Yunzhou, there's nothing wrong at home, why don't you go back and get some more sleep?"
I don't know how this son turned out. He's a soldier, exposed to the elements in the army, yet his skin is incredibly fair. He looks so refined, and even the slightest dark circles under his eyes are very noticeable.
"It's okay, Mom, no need." Qin Yunzhou still had the money he had counted last night on him. Although Xu Sui said it was 320 yuan, the debt had been over a year ago.
If they forget to include something in the calculation, others might think they did it on purpose.
Therefore, he would rather give an extra few dozen yuan than let people misunderstand.
He wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
To avoid people using these issues to ambush others and cause unnecessary trouble in the future.
Seeing that he was really alright, Tianhua didn't say anything more.
"Okay, breakfast is warming up on the stove for you. Remember to eat it."
Qin Yunzhou nodded slightly, then went to the yard to wash up, leaning on his cane. After washing up and eating breakfast, he pocketed the 350 yuan and went out again, leaning on his cane.
His leg has recovered quite well. As long as he doesn't walk too fast and uses crutches, he looks almost like a normal person, no longer limping like he did at the beginning.
