Chapter 680 Help Me Take It Off
Ye Shu, Mrs. Jin and Zhuang Jingjing looked at each other. They had actually guessed it just now.
If it weren't for their special circumstances and the need to avoid suspicion, Huo Yisheng would never have ignored Ye Shu.
He is a well-known wife-loving madman!
Seeing that they accepted it calmly, Mrs. Tang smiled helplessly and said, "This is probably the awareness of us military families."
Ye Shu asked, "Brother, aren't you coming back for dinner tonight?"
Mrs. Tang: "He knew I was going to treat you to a meal, and he said that his family was full of women and children, so he wouldn't be back. It's a good opportunity for him to get together with my uncle and the others."
Also.
Women gather together for women's purposes, and men gather together for men's purposes, which is quite cheap.
There were four adults and eleven children, and there was simply not enough space at one table.
So we sat together at two tables.
Mrs. Tang sighed, "This is the first time my family has been so lively!"
Mrs. Jin: "It's so lively when there are many children!"
After all, it is the children who are having fun.
It was a specially prepared welcoming banquet, so the dinner was very sumptuous.
Mrs. Tang prepared a dish of pork stewed with vermicelli, using the best pork belly with three parts fat and two parts lean meat. She also prepared a dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms, a cabbage and tofu soup, and steamed two servings of rice.
Mrs. Jin and Zhuang Jingjing couldn't just come and eat for free, so one brought fried bamboo shoots with bacon and the other brought braised salted fish slices.
I also brought some rice. After all, there are many children in both families, and they consume a lot of food!
There were more meat dishes than vegetables, and it was quite rich. This table of dishes was comparable to the New Year’s Eve dinner!
Mrs. Tang was quite emotional. She had put in all her effort to prepare two meat dishes.
After all, this was her brother-in-law whom she hadn't seen for many years, and it was also the first time she met her sister-in-law. It was the first time she invited her sister-in-law and her family to dinner, so she had to be polite and not be too shabby.
But she didn't expect that the food each of their families brought out was so much better than her family's usual meals!
So, during the meal, she tactfully asked about their previous living standards.
Ye Shu just mentioned it briefly, meaning that there was no need to worry about food and drink.
Mrs. Tang sighed, then lowered her voice and reminded:
"You'll have to avoid people when eating in the yard. From what I know, many of the workers here can't afford to eat meat for a whole month."
Ye Shu thought about it and realized that there was no mountain directly outside Wumu Town. It would take two days to walk into the mountains.
Therefore, people in the city cannot get food from the mountains and can only rely on rations.
As a result, it will be difficult for them to make a living, just like other urban workers living far away from the mountainous suburbs.
Ye Shu said he understood, but eating while avoiding people?
That's too uncomfortable!
Mrs. Jin spoke frankly: "That must be quite difficult. We all live in the same courtyard. If someone stews meat today and cooks fish tomorrow, the smell won't be hidden!"
"It's okay in the winter, but in the summer when it's hot, the smell can spread for miles on the wind!"
It is indeed so.
so what should I do now?
Ye Shu: "Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. We can be a little more restrained, but we can't let the children suffer."
Mrs. Jin: "That's right! We can't let the children suffer. After all, we have money and tickets. What's wrong? We make a living based on our own abilities. Why should we be afraid of them reporting us?"
Mrs. Tang thought for a moment and said, "That's right. I've been living too cautiously."
Ye Shu asked, "Besides Zhao Jinhua, who else lives in the backyard?"
It’s not about what you have to do, but you still have to understand it, to know yourself and your enemy!
If we have to fight, we won’t be completely in the dark.
Mrs. Tang: "Zhao Jinhua's husband is a deputy regimental commander. They have two children, an older son and a younger daughter. They are assigned two rooms. Her husband's name is Chen Guozhong."
"She lives next door to Captain Zhou, whose wife is Chen Miao. They have two sons, who also got two rooms."
"Captain Peng, who lives in the innermost room, has a wife named Meng Mingzhen. Her children didn't come with us. They said they were back home with their elders. Her family is the smallest, so they only got one room."
The more Sister Jin and Zhuang Jingjing listened, the more they felt something was wrong: "Then those of us who were given three or four rooms wouldn't be a thorn in their side, wouldn't we?"
"No wonder they're targeting Ye Shu! Your family monopolizes the four main rooms, and they're jealous!"
Ye Shu agreed with them: "If I give up the house now, I wonder if it will be too late?"
Mrs. Tang was amused by their behavior: "It's too late! But it doesn't matter. Old Huo and the others seem to have some plans. We don't know what they are going to do. Let's just ignore them and see what they do next!"
Ye Shu nodded: "Yes, it's a pity for us that we have to live in such dire straits!"
Look, we’ve only been here for less than half a day and I’ve already heard from the corner twice.
He's been looking for trouble twice!
It’s conceivable that life will be lively in the future!
Everyone had a lively dinner, cleaned up the kitchen dishes together, and then went home.
Mrs. Jin helped Ye Shu carry the already asleep Sisi back home, while Ye Shu held Xiaowu in his arms.
Mrs. Jin: "These children in your family are so easy to take care of. Just put them there and they can actually fall asleep on their own!"
Even she, an old mother who had given birth to and raised three children, found it unbelievable!
Why are all the angelic children from other people's families?!
Ye Shu boiled some water for the three little ones and asked them to wash up and go to bed.
Because she still had to clean the house, she discussed with the three little ones and let them sleep by themselves.
The three little ones agreed and pestered Ye Shu to tell them two stories, then let her go. The three of them went to bed hand in hand.
Ye Shu didn't finish packing until late at night.
Seeing the messy room finally tidy up, she breathed a sigh of relief, took a shower and went to bed.
Just as I was about to blow out the light, I suddenly heard footsteps outside the window.
The voice was very small and very familiar.
She didn't lie down, but sat and waited for movement.
Sure enough, the next second, there was a rhythmic knocking sound on the window. It was the secret signal that Huo Yisheng had agreed with her earlier.
The corners of her mouth curled up, then she turned off the light and went to open the door.
The man rushed in with the wind and snow, kicked the door shut, and quickly locked it.
With a wave of his hand, he took off his military coat that was covered with cold wind and snow.
He then embraced his wife, put one hand around her waist, and with a little force pressed her into his arms, and with the other hand he held the side of her face, forcing her to look up.
He kissed her carefully and closely, and asked, "Wife, do you miss me?"
This man was as domineering as ever, and Ye Shu had no room to speak. He could only hum and make some incoherent sounds.
Huo Yisheng was still sinking into despair: "I miss you so much!"
He finally let her go. In the darkness, he stared at her with scorching eyes and said softly but without letting anyone interrupt him: "Shushu, help me take it off."
