Su yue squatted and washed all afternoon, and was tired. After returning to the room, she lie down on the bed and can't get up.
Han Aiguo came in with a bucket of hot water and saw her lying lazily on the bed. He felt warm in his heart. He had never expected his room to be so warm after having her.
He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, gently caressing her cheek with his thumb, "Tired?"
Su Yue hummed lazily, rubbing her hands on her lower back.
Seeing this, Han Aiguo gently rubbed her lower back with his big palm to help her relieve the pain. Su Yue almost fell asleep because of the comfort.
Seeing that her eyes were almost closed, Han Aiguo quickly asked: "I boiled hot water for you, do you want to take a bath before going to bed?"
Su Yue opened her eyes after hearing this, and said without hesitation: "Yes. !"
Winter is cold, and there is no air conditioning or heating at this time. In addition, it takes a lot of firewood to heat hot water, so many people here don't take a shower all winter. They usually wash their faces and feet, just waiting for the weather to get warmer and then take a full body bath. At that time, if you rub your body with a towel, you can remove at least five kilograms of mud.
Everyone thinks this is normal, but Su Yue can't stand it. She has to take a big bath every three days and wipe her body on the other two days. Anyway, she can't stand it without water on her body. Even Li Xiaoqing and the others think she is too clean loving.
She worked hard all afternoon and her body was dirty. Su Yue was just about to take a bath.
Han Aiguo knew that she needed to take a bath. Although he had never lived with her, he knew that she loved to be clean. Even in winter, she would wash her hair every two days, so he guessed that she must also like to take a bath frequently. For her who loves to be clean. He doesn't find it troublesome at all. It's better to be clean than sloppy. It's just a matter of boiling more water. He will just boil more water for her in the future.
"I boiled hot water for you, but it will be cold if you wait like this. I will hang up a bath tent for you." Han Aiguo said, taking out the bath tent that he had specially asked someone to get for her from the cabinet, and put the bath tent on the top of the beam of the roof, the surroundings are opened, the bathtub is placed inside, and hot water is poured in.
This kind of bath tent is specially used for bathing when the weather is cold. It can surround the entire bathtub. The heat emitted by the hot water is concentrated in the tent and cannot escape, so people will not be too cold if they stay in it and take a bath.
Unexpectedly, he was even prepared for this.
Su Yue's eyes lit up. She happily ran over and grabbed the tent and looked around. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that this tent was good. You must know that one of the most painful things for her when she came here was that taking a bath in winter was too painful and she was freezing to death. She shivered with cold every time she wanted to take a bath. If she had known there was such a thing, she would have found a way to get one.
Su Yue opened the curtain again and looked inside, her eyes brightened. There was actually a wooden basin half a person's height inside, which was similar to a bathtub and could be used for bathing.
"Where did this come from?" Su Yue shouted in surprise.
Han Aiguo: "I made it for you."
Su Yue blinked at him with big eyes, "Can you still do carpentry?"
When she looked at him with surprise and admiration, Han Aiguo felt that It's quite good to know how to do carpentry. At least it can make her happy.
He cleared his throat and said: "I learned it from the carpenter in the village before I joined the army. The things I made were not very good, but they were useful."
Su Yue hurriedly threw herself into his arms, stood up on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. He kissed her and praised: "That's a gift, thank you! I love you~"
Han Aiguo was stunned by the kiss, and was told "I love you" so his heart beat wildly. The next second his eyes changed, looking at Su Yue with such fiery eyes that she couldn't bear it even if she was thick-skinned.
Seeing the man's eyes getting hotter and hotter, Su Yue felt that the situation was a little bad, so she quickly slipped out of his arms and pushed him out, "I'm going to take a shower, you go, you go."
Han Aiguo's throat was tight rolled around and asked tentatively: "Can't I stay in the house?"
Su Yue: "…No! go!"
Han Aiguo was finally pushed out of the door and looked behind him She closed the door tightly and sighed in disappointment. He was sure that she really wouldn't let him in. Then he went to the utility room in the backyard and took a shower with water. After washing, he saw that the door was still not open. He knew that Su Yue hadn't finished washing yet, so he waited quietly under the window of the room, just like the door gaurd.
Fortunately, the rest of the Han family had gone to bed early at this point, otherwise they would have laughed secretly if they had seen him looking at the room longingly.
After standing for about half an hour, the door to the room finally opened from the inside.
Han Aiguo quickly entered the room. As soon as he entered, he saw that Su Yue's cheeks were red from the hot water, and her eyes became moist due to the bath. Her whole person looked particularly hydrated and attractive.
Just hearing a string snap in his head, Han Aiguo felt something was about to move in his body. The desire that had been held in for so long could no longer be suppressed, and suddenly surged out, and this surge was also happening below. Li reacted uncontrollably.
Afraid of scaring her, Han Aiguo took a deep breath, calmly lifted the entire bathtub and took it to the backyard, dumped the water. When he came back, he saw that Su Yue was already lying on the bed, his eyes darkened.
After extinguishing the kerosene lamp on the bedside, the room suddenly fell into darkness. Only a little moonlight leaked in from the window, making it possible to barely see the bulging figure on the bed.
Su Yue was extremely nervous. She covered her face with a quilt and listened quietly to the noise outside.
At this time, she finally became a little nervous as a newlywed. Although she knew everything about husband and wife and had watched some videos, after all, she had never practiced it once. At this time, she felt like the lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
But she has no experience. This must be the first time for Han Aiguo too. There is so little information in this era. There is no mobile phone, no computer, and no Internet. It is difficult to learn any special knowledge, so he should not have learned anything, and he is definitely not as good as her.
She doesn't know if he can. If not, will she pretend to be innocent or give him some help later?
Just when Su Yue was already thinking about how she could teach him quietly without hurting his self-esteem as a man, someone had already slipped into the quilt while she wasn't paying attention.
He took off his clothes completely and then pounced on her like a hungry wolf.
Then Su Yue had no time to think about whether to teach him or not.
—
The next day, when Su Yue woke up hazy, the first thought in her mind was: It seems that she is too naive and she doesn't understand men too well. Fortunately, she was still struggling last night. Do you want to teach him? Does he need to be taught? Obviously not!
She almost lost half her life by him.
No wonder people say that men are self-taught creatures.
Su Yue helped her old waist to get up. Han Aiguo's figure was long gone from the bed, and the faint sounds of children playing outside could be heard.
She quickly took the watch aside and was shocked when she saw that it was already half past ten!
God, she slept until half past ten.
Su Yue hurriedly grabbed the clothes she had put aside and put them on. She ran out regardless of her slight discomfort. As soon as she left the room, she ran into a broad embrace, and the next second she was wrapped around her waist by a pair of big hands.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Su Yue glared at the man in front of her. It was all this man's fault. She got up so late. She already knew why. They would see the old lady later, won't it be awkward then.
After being stared at, Han Aiguo smiled instead, touched her cheek and said, "There are porridge and pancakes left for you in the pot. Go wash up and have something to eat."
What else could Su Yue do, so she had to push him away and go to the yard to wash up inside.
Han Aiguo looked at her for a while, and then said: "I'm going to help build a house for the second and third children's family, I'll come back for lunch at noon."
Su Yue hummed, and after seeing him leave, she bravely entered the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Han, who was making noodles, saw her coming in. There was no special expression on her face. She just smiled as usual and said, "Come and eat, it's still hot."
Su Yue felt a little uncomfortable and called out "mother", then shamelessly pretending that nothing happened, he took out the bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, opened the lid of the pot, filled a bowl of porridge, took two more tortillas, and ran to the small table to sit down obediently. During the meal, she didn't dare to look at Mrs. Han.
Mrs. Han, however, looked at her with a smile while working, her face full of joy.
Su Yue swallowed a mouthful of porridge and was forced to look up at the old lady. She asked awkwardly: "Mom, why do you look at me? I don't have any money on my face."
The old lady laughed and said, "Mom is happy. Ah, Aiguo has finally married you back to our family. Mom was so happy that she dreamed about your father last night. He was also happy and said that he felt relieved when Aiguo married you. It's okay for Mom to leave in the future."
Su Yue hurriedly sighed, "Mom, Don't say such things, you will live a long life."
Old Mrs. Han laughed again, "Okay, okay , Mom will stop talking, mom was just too happy, I didn't know that aiguo could marry you, mom felt that all his luck in the past thirty years was spent on finding a wife."
Su Yue smiled, "Mom Don't be so exaggerated. I'm going to be embarrassed by what you said."
Old Mrs. Han: "I'm not exaggerating. What mother said is true. You don't know how bad aiguo's luck has been since he was a child. For this I even secretly asked for fortune telling when he was little.
The gentleman came to tell his fortune, but the fortune teller said that he had a bumpy fortune and was plagued by bad luck, which made mother very sad…"
Su Yue's heart skipped a beat, and the system said that Han Aiguo was indeed unlucky in his life. The road is full of twists and turns and bad luck. Is this fortune teller really a man of his own or just a fool?
"Mom, what else did the fortune teller say?"
Mrs. Han: "The fortune teller said that aiguo can't change his fate. Without him, only the appearance of someone who is destined to be with him can change his fate. "
At this point, the old lady looked at Su Yue and smiled, "Mom was still doubtful before, but now that aiguo has found you, Mom thinks that the fortune teller's words are accurate. You are the lucky star of our family's Aiguo. Once you showed up, His leg was cured, without any trouble. "
Su Yue was secretly shocked, does this fortune teller really have great powers? Otherwise, how could he have calculated that someone destined to Han Aiguo must appear in order to change his destiny.
This person is her.
Su Yue couldn't help but wonder and became interested in this matter, so she asked in detail, "Mom, please tell me about what happened before to Aiguo. "
Old Mrs. Han was eager to have someone to chat with her, so she started talking in detail.
"You don't know how worried mother has been about him for so many years. In fact, among the four children in our family, he is the one I worried about the most. This kid don't know what happened. He had bad luck since he was a kid, and things always go wrong. For example, one year we had heavy rain for a month continuously, and the river swelled so much that it almost reached the bridge. One day, Aiguo and a few boys crossed the small wooden bridge on the river, and everyone else came and went. It was okay, when it was his turn to leave, the bridge suddenly broke, and he fell into the water. The water was so deep that he disappeared immediately after he got in.
Su Yue felt her heart twitch when she heard this, "What happened next?"
Fortunately, the He knows how to swim and is a very good swimmer. He has helped me work since he was a child and has developed strong strength. He just kept swimming in the water. Finally, he swam to the river with all his strength and climbed up. But as soon as he got up, he fainted because he had no strength. When he came back, he was so feverish that he almost went crazy and almost died. I took him everywhere to find a doctor, and finally he saved his life. "
Su Yue thought to herself that this was too unlucky. No wonder the system said that his luck was about to run out. Has he encountered so many dangers since he was a child?
Old Mrs. Han sighed, "There are many such things has been there since he was a child. I don't know how many times he was in trouble, but luckily he grew up safely in the end. Later he went to join the army, and mother couldn't see him. I was worried at home whether he would be injured or in danger, but he kept reporting the good news. But how could mother not know in her heart that he had many injuries on his body, some of which still have deep scars to this day, and I don't know how serious the injuries were at that time. "
The old lady's eyes turned red as she spoke, "This time it's even more serious. The leg was so seriously injured that even big hospitals couldn't cure it. The doctors had no choice but to give up. I thought he would be disabled for the rest of his life. I didn't expect it to be cured in the end, and mother couldn't tell how happy she was. "
Su Yue stood up and patted the old lady on the shoulder, "Mom, don't worry, you didn't say that I am a his lucky star, as long as I'm here from now on, nothing will happen to him. "
Old Mrs. Han wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled happily, "Yes, Mom is not worried. Mom always thinks that you are the person the fortune teller said. With you, I don't have to worry anymore about Aiguo."
The two of them were chatting and it was already eleven o'clock. Mrs. Han said, "I have to prepare lunch. Yue'er, do you have anything you want to eat? What should we eat today? "
Su Yue heard that there seemed to be pig bones yesterday, so she asked: "Mom, were there any leftover pig bones yesterday?"
Mrs. Han nodded, "But the meat on the bones has been picked clean, and there is nothing left to eat."
Su Yue said: " Mom, those bones are a good thing. I use them to make soup base. Let's have ramen for lunch."
"Hand-Pulled Noodle? " Old Mrs. Han has never eaten any ramen, but she knows that anything made by Su Yue will be delicious, so she happily said: "Mom, will take a break at noon, and leave lunch to you."
"No problem, mother, leave the cooking to me from now on. "
Su Yue said, putting the bones into the pot and starting to stew. At the same time, she carefully washed the surface of the small table with water, kneaded the dough on it, and after it was done, spread oil on the dough and let it rest for half an hour.
While making the noodles, Su Yue prepared other seasonings, then went to the vegetable garden to pick some garlic sprouts, cabbage and radishes, washed and cut them for later use. At this time, the noodles were just waking up, so she kneaded the dough into strips and pulled one end of it with both hands. Stretching, bouncing up and down at the same time, making a snapping sound on the panel, the hands and tail were connected and divided into two, and then divided into four again. In the end, the noodles became more and more in her hands. They were getting more and more thin, as if they were about to break in the next second. Mrs. Han's heart was aching when she saw them.
But the old lady's worries were obviously unnecessary. The noodles seemed to be alive in Su Yue's hands. Generally speaking, the flying up and down was so steady that there was almost an afterimage in the end.
Mrs. Han felt like she was watching a magic show, but she enjoyed watching it.
After the noodles were pulled, Su Yue lowered them until they were cooked. After adding various seasonings to the fragrant bone soup, the kitchen was suddenly filled with fragrance. An unprecedented fragrance.
Mrs. Han looked at the noodles in the pot and couldn't help but sniffed, "Oh, this noodles … Why is it so fragrant, it makes me want to eat it. "
As soon as she finished speaking, two children burst into the kitchen. Xiaolei and Maomao ran in from the outside, breathing like dog noses. As soon as they came in, they shouted, "We are hungry ! What are you cooking for? Give us something to eat."
said with a dull face: "When you are hungry, go to your mother. Don't just look for grandma every day." "
Xiao Lei's face and hands were covered with mud, and he didn't know where it came from. Without washing his hands, he climbed onto the pot and tried to climb up the pot to reach for the delicious food inside. "My mother made Wo Wo Tou. I don't like to eat steamed buns, I want to eat them from your pot. "
Mrs. Han looked at the mud in his hand and was so angry that she gave him a slap on the butt, "You don't wash your hands. If it gets into the pot, will everyone still eat it? Go back to your mother and wash your hands! "
Xiao Lei refused to go, so he became anxious and said, "Grandma, you are so stingy that you are not willing to give us delicious food! Damn you! "
The old lady was so angry that she took him off the stove and said, "You said the grandma is stingy? Who taught you to say this? All the good things I usually give you are fed to the dogs! Don't come to me for food anymore. Go back to your mother. "
Xiao Lei held on to the stove and refused to let go. Not only did he not let go, he started crying, "You are stingy, you are just stingy! You are a bad grandma! "
Seeing Xiao Lei crying, Maomao thought that if he cried like this, then grandma would give them delicious food, so he opened his mouth and started crying after him.
Mrs. Han's face turned black with anger.
Su Yue was also attracted by these two crying. Why didn't she realize that these two children were so ignorant before?
While the two children were crying, Han's second daughter-in-law happened to be coming in from outside, when she saw her Xiaolei crying, her heart ached. She hurriedly ran up to hug him and coaxed him, "What's wrong?"
When Xiao Lei saw his mother coming, he complained: "Mom, my grandma doesn't give me delicious food, she is stingy!"
Han Lao's second daughter-in-law has always regarded her only son as her darling and could not bear to let him suffer the slightest injustice. After hearing what he said, she looked at Mrs. Han and said, "Mom, son is still young and ignorant, but how can you, a grandma, bear it. It's just a little food, why are you stingy."
Does it mean that as a grandmother, she is reluctant to give food to her grandson? Old Mrs. Han was so angry at her words that she didn't bother to explain, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, I have fed so many good things to the your sons before. I can see clearly now, you guys, eat what I have. If one day I don't do what you want, it's all my fault. From now on, I won't be a good person anymore. You all should stay away from me. Don't ask me for food anymore. Whoever is looking for me? I won't give it to you either!"
Han's second daughter-in-law's eyes flashed, and she couldn't bear to part with her immediately. The old lady had money in her hands and often made delicious food. The food was much better than at their home, and the children could eat delicious food as soon as they came. Yes, it saved her a lot of money. If the old lady is really angry and doesn't feed the child, then it won't be a loss.
"Mom, look at what you said, I didn't mean it. You know children are not sensible, so don't argue with them."
Old Mrs. Han didn't take her advice and waved her hand in disgust, "Go, go, go. Get out of here and don't come here again. I'll hit anyone who comes again! Don't think that old lady can't be cruel."
Han's second daughter-in-law didn't know what else to say for a moment. She was driven away by the old lady and had to walk away in despair, thinking to wait until the old lady's anger subsided before letting the child come over. As a grandmother, she wouldn't be so hard hearted to let her grandson go.
After they left, Mrs. Han sighed fiercely, "These two boys were spoiled by their mothers, look what they have become now! They don't like to be clean at all, and they know how to ask others for things at such a young age, it's all because adults didn't teach them well."
Su Yue also felt that the two boys at home were in great need of discipline, but she was not their biological mother and had no right to discipline them, so she could only say: "When they are older, send them to school. Maybe it would be better to let the teachers take care of it."
Old Mrs. Han shook her head again after hearing this. "The schools now are just decorations. The teachers don't teach serious things. The children go to school just to mess around and follow them in the morning. The teacher only recite the chinese quotations and go home to work in the afternoon. So It's better to be at home."
Su Yue was helpless when she thought about the current situation of the school at this time and asked: "So Aimin and Hehua have never been to school since they are so old ?"
Old Mrs. Han nodded, "Not many in the village let their children go to school. Our brigade's primary school only has a few children in total."
Su Yue frowned slightly, "But if you don't go to school, wouldn't you be blind? What should they do if they can't even recognize the words and don't know basic arithmetic?"
Old Mrs. Han didn't know how to answer this question, "Now School is different from before. Now the teachers don't teach these things when we go to school. The children in our team have been going to school for several years and still can't write their own names. I really hope Aimin and the others can read, so they won't suffer the consequences of being illiterate when they go out in the future. But the teachers at school can't teach them much, and even the teachers themselves may not know many words."
Su Yue: "I think Aimin's arithmetic is pretty good. Even during selling cakes he doesn't miss a count "
Mrs. Han: "Arithmetic was taught to him by his elder brother in private."
"Aiguo? " Su Yue was surprised, "He knows this?"
Mrs. Han said: " When Aiguo was a child, his father was still here. His father had gone to school to learn these things before, so he taught him step by step. His father taught him the basics, but when I gave birth to his second child, your father He fell ill, so the second, third, and fourth children didn't learn anything and didn't understand it. "
" When Ai Guo was a child, he wanted to teach his younger brothers, but the second and third eldest brothers didn't like to learn. When it came to studying, they would try their best to run away. Later, they didn't learn anything. The fourth brother was willing to learn, but his eldest brother went to the army and didn't have time to come back, so he only learned a little about accounting, but he didn't have time to learn Chinese characters. "
Su Yue understood, and couldn't help but frown and ponder for a moment, and then said: "Mom, it's okay if you don't know how to read and write. I think Aimin's future will be good. We can't let him be illiterate and if he want to deal with people outside, it is absolutely impossible to be illiterate, and you will not know if you are cheated. So he still have to go to school and learn to read."
Mrs. Han hesitated, " Then, you mean to let Aimin go to school?" "
Su Yue thought for a while, Han Aimin is twelve years old now, and will be thirteen years old soon after the New Year. It is not possible to start from the first grade of elementary school at this age. Instead, he can jump directly to the fifth grade of elementary school, and then After getting the primary school diploma, you can go directly to the commune's junior high school. The commune's junior high school is always better than the brigade school, and you can always learn some real knowledge.
But if you want to jump directly to fifth grade, you must have a certain knowledge reserve.
Su Yue thought for a long time and then said: "Mom, I am free at home now. I can teach Aimin first. When Aimin learns it, I will see if I can go to the principal of the school and discuss with him to let Aimin go directly to fifth grade, graduate from elementary school after one year of study, and then go to junior high school for higher knowledge. At the very least, he will still graduate from junior high school. "
At this time, people study less, especially those in the countryside. They think that graduating from junior high school is a big deal. Mrs. Han also thinks so. She was very happy when she heard that her fourth child could graduate from junior high school, but she was a little hesitant, "Just go to fifth grade directly, can the principal agree? "
Su Yue: "As long as Aimin studies hard, there will be no problem. At worst, we will just ask the principal to take the test for Aimin."
Mrs. Han knew that Su Yue was a literate person and was very convinced by her. She nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll let Aimin learn from you. If the brat doesn't learn from you, I'll beat him."
"Mom, who are you going to beat?" Han Aimin just ran in from outside, grabbed the teapot on the table and drank water.
Han Aiguo also came in behind him.
Su Yue: "You are back, lunch is ready. "
Han Aiguo glanced at her, washed his hands, and then stood next to her.
As he sat down, his eyes wandered over her from time to time.
Su Yue pretended not to notice his gaze and said: "Mother and I are talking about letting the fourth child learn to read. I will teach him first. After he learns well, we will see if he can directly go to fifth grade and graduate from elementary school. Then go directly to the commune to attend junior high school."
Han Aimin was stunned, "Huh? You want me to learn to read And go directly to the fifth grade?"
Han Aiguo nodded after hearing this, "Learning is a must. Do you want to be illiterate?"
Han Aimin scratched his head, "But I don't know how, can I learn well?" In his heart, he didn't want to be illiterate, but he was afraid that he would be too stupid to learn well.
Su Yue encouraged: "Learning is very simple, as long as you are serious, there will be no problem."
After hearing this, Han Aimin immediately agreed, "Then I will study hard."
Su Yue turned to Han Aiguo, "Then can you think of a way to help? Can you find a set of current primary school textbooks? I want to teach based on the textbooks."
Han Aiguo: "No problem."
Seeing that she had almost finished talking, Mrs. Han said, "Okay, okay, let's eat. It's noon now. The ramen made by Yueyue is delicious."
Han Aiguo and Han Aimin were immediately diverted and looked straight into the pot.
There is no way, one can resist delicious food made by Su Yue.
When Han Aiguo took his first bite of ramen, he looked deeply at Su Yue, then lowered his head and ate bitterly.
Han Aimin expressed happiness: "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother is really great for marrying you back. From now on, I can eat your food every day. I am so happy~"
The whole family was attracted by his foodie and made them laugh.
After eating, Su Yue boiled Han Aiguo's leg medicine in a medicine jar and brought it into the room for him to drink. While he was drinking the medicine, she rolled up his pants and looked at his legs. She was surprised to find that the injured leg has recovered a lot and is almost as thick as the other leg. Only the surface is still red and swollen.
Su Yue was happy, "I guess your leg will be completely healed in a few months."
Han Aiguo looked at her with a gentle smile in his eyes. Because of her, his legs are in good condition.
Seeing that he had finished drinking the medicine, Su Yue said to him: "Lie down and rest for a while, and then go help in the afternoon. I'll apply a layer of ointment on your legs."
Han Aiguo then went to the bed and lay down obediently, quietly watched Su Yue apply the ointment to his leg bit by bit. It turns out that having a wife feels so good.
Su Yue remembered what the old lady had just said about the many scars on his body, and felt a little uneasy, so she said, "Take off your clothes."
Han Aiguo opened his eyes slightly, "Take off your clothes?"
"Yeah. Ah, take it off and let me take a look."
Han Aiguo's throat rolled, and his eyes changed when he looked at Su Yue, "Yue'er, are you sure?"
Su Yue didn't react at first, but as soon as she saw his hot gaze looking at her , he realized that this man was thinking wrongly, and slapped him in the face, "What are you thinking about! Bad guy! I just want to see the injuries on your body. Why are you thinking about other things!"
" Oh." Han Aiguo blinked, but he was a little disappointed. He really thought she meant that.
Seeing that he was still disappointed, Su Yue was so angry that she slapped him again. As expected, no matter how serious a man is, It's impossible to be serious about this.
Although it was not what he thought, he did not dare to disobey his wife's order. Han Aiguo silently took off his upper clothes and let her see his shirtless body.
There are indeed many injuries on his body. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are densely packed. They are deep and shallow, large and small, all over the body. Many of them are even in key positions. Just a little carelessness may endanger his life.
Looking at the scars on his body, Su Yue could think of what he had gone through over the years and what he relied on to get to where he is today.
"How did you get this ?" Su Yue touched the scar on his heart that looked like a gunshot wound, and asked with distress.
Han Aiguo said in a calm tone, "when I went to the border on mission."
Su Yue knew that the country was not completely stable in this era, and there were still conflicts on the border. Soldiers like them were always needed to take the lead and protect the stability of the country amidst the hail of bullets.
This was his duty as a soldier. Su Yue couldn't say anything, but felt sad.
Han Aiguo grabbed her little hand and squeezed it, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, this little injury is nothing."
Su Yue touched the wound again and pouted, "Who says it's nothing? If you don't take yourself seriously like this, you have to remember that your body will belong to me from now on. I won't allow you to get hurt. I will be angry if you get hurt!"
Han Aiguo was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Okay. I will try my best to protect myself in the future."
"That's pretty much it." Su Yue said, taking his clothes over, "Put them on quickly, or you'll get cold."
Han Aiguo only put on the vest underneath, and then took the quilt over himself and opened a corner of the quilt, "You come in and take a nap too."
Su Yue was a little hesitant, "I'm also going to make cakes with mother."
Han Aiguo: "Mother also wants to take a nap. She will only make cakes after taking a nap, so you should also take a nap."
After hearing what he said, Su Yue took off her shoes and outer thick clothes, got into the bed, and then rolled into his arms.
He was like a big furnace, his whole body was warm and she felt warm as soon as she entered his arms. It was so comfortable that people couldn't bear to leave.
Han Aiguo put Su Yue's cold little hand on his belly to cover it, while his big hand gently rubbed her waist. He knew that he went too far last night and made her suffer.
Su Yue felt so comfortable being rubbed by him that she almost couldn't help but hum. Fortunately, she held it back, otherwise this person would turn into a wolf again, and she would be the unlucky one in the end.
Just when Su Yue was about to fall asleep after being rubbed by him, Han Aiguo said in her ear: "Yue'er, don't go to work in the future."
Su Yue opened her eyes and looked at him.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, so it's freezing. You can't do the work in the fertile fields recently. From now on, you can make cakes with mother at home."
Su Yue couldn't do farm works in the first place. From first time she came to now, it has tortured her to death. She has long since wanted to stop do it.
Now when Han Aiguo said this, she did not say hypocritical words like "No need, I'm going to work", but She agreed with a smile, "Then I won't go. I'll just be a lazy wife at home."
Han Aiguo stroked her hair, "Okay, go to sleep."
Su Yue fell asleep under his gentle rub.
—
Within two days, Han Aiguo borrowed a set of new elementary school textbooks, ranging from first grade to fifth grade. She didn't know where he got some pencils and notebooks.
Su Yue now only needs to help Old Mrs. Han with housework and making cakes at home, but there is not much to do, so she started teaching Han Aimin how to read.
Han Aimin had no basic skills before, so Su Yue started teaching him from the simplest level. She taught him to read each sentence one by one, and Han Aimin read it after her, and then wrote it twice by himself.
Everyone was curious about the study session, and sometimes they would take a look when they had time, but it was just to see the excitement. For example, the three children, Taohua , Xiaolei and Maomao ran away bored after listening for five minutes. They don't want to see it anymore.
They feel that studying is so boring and not as interesting as playing.
But Hehua was not like that. She watched her aunt teach her uncle how to read, and she often came to listen while she was working. She was very envious of her uncle, and she also wanted to learn how to read and become a literate person in the future.
When she grows up, she will be a beautiful, gentle and extremely smart girl like her aunt. She just wanted to be someone like her aunt, and it was always right to follow her example.
Su Yue saw Hehua's longing eyes several times, so she beckoned her and asked, "Hehua, do you also want to follow uncle to study ?"
Hehua bit her lip and nodded cautiously.
Su Yue said: "Then you can learn with your uncle from now on, and I will teach you."
Hehua was happy at first, then her eyes dimmed again, she shook her head and said, "No, my mother definitely doesn't want me to learn. My mother asked me to cut grass and collect firewood, and I have to help my brother do housework."
Su Yue was stunned and then fell silent.
She told Mrs. Han about this and asked: "Mom, can you get the second brother and sister-in-law to agree to this? I think Hehua wants to learn. It is a good thing for children to have a desire to learn. It is always right to learn more knowledge. It just happens there is no comparison when studying alone, but two children studying together can compete with each other and hence enhance their Knowledge."
Mrs. Han naturally felt that it was a good thing for her children to be motivated, but she also hesitated and said to her: "Now that we are separated, I'm afraid the second daughter-in-law won't be willing to listen to me. How can she be willing to let Hehua study with you? She just wants Hehua to help her with the work. Now Hehua helps me burn the fire for half a day every day. She is not very happy. She wish the hehua would not rest for a moment every day, if not she will feel that this daughter was not born in vain."
"This…" Su Yue thought of Han Lao's second daughter-in-law's idea of valuing boys over daughters and despising girls in her bones, and maybe she would still feel that it is useless for girls to learn, so they might as well do more practical work.
Even if she and Mrs. Han went to talk, it would probably be useless.
After Han Aiguo found out about this, he said: "If Hehua wants to learn, let her learn. Learning knowledge is a good thing. I will go to the second brother to talk about this matter in person."
Then he went to the second brother Han and didn't know. How to tell people, in the end Han Laoer and his wife really agreed that Hehua would study with Su Yue for two hours every morning. Even though Han Laoer's daughter-in-law was full of reluctance, she didn't dare to say anything.
Through this incident, Su Yue suddenly discovered that Han Aiguo was really good to talk sometimes, and he spoke better than Mrs. Han. It seems that if I have any problems in the future, i can go to him.
In this way, Su Yue's small family class officially started. She used the corner of the main room as a classroom and gave Hehua and Han Aimin a pen and a notebook. They shared a set of textbooks and were taught at the big table.
Her education method is as follows: teach on the first day, let them memorize while working, and then test their mastery of yesterday before the start of class on the second day and give scores.
In order to encourage them to study hard, Su Yue also came up with a reward mechanism. She said: "Every time I take a test, I will reward whoever is first with a candy. When it comes to the big test, in addition to having the first place reward i.e candy, i will give a reward of two yuan."
No matter how sensible they are, Hehua and Han Aimin are still children. Everyone likes to eat sweets. Su Yue took out the candy as a reward, and they immediately cheered up. Finally, they heard that there are rewards for the big exam. With two yuan, they became even more energetic, secretly encouraging themself to do well in the exam and work hard.
When Han's second daughter-in-law heard about this reward, most of her inner discomfort immediately dissipated. She secretly told He Hua to study hard and try to earn a candy every day for her brother to eat. During the Big Exam, she should work hard to earn two yuan to give at home to supplement the family income.
Hehua nodded silently, In order for her mother to allow her to learn , she studied hard every day. Whether she was feeding chickens, cutting grass, or lighting a fire, she silently reviewed the knowledge she had learned in her heart.
Han Aimin saw that his niece who was younger than him was working so hard, and he was afraid that he would lose face if he failed the exam, so he also worked hard.
Seeing the two children working so hard, Su Yue felt very happy. She took the time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some coarse cloth. She and Mrs. Han made two schoolbags and gave each of them a schoolbag, which made the two children extremely happy.
Counting han aimin, there are five children in the family, the two older one got the schoolbag, and the other three younger ones were greedy for it.
Although they couldn't use the schoolbag, they just thought it was a good thing, and naturally they wouldn't be happy if they didn't have it.
Fabrics are precious these days. The clothes everyone wears are tattered, mended, and sewn. In families with many children, the eldest brother gets new clothes and then they are passed on to the younger ones. In short, the preciousness of fabrics is hard to imagine. Imagine that now there is a complete, strong and beautiful piece of cloth made into a brand new school bag. Not only the children are envious, but even Han's second daughter-in-law and Han's third daughter-in-law are envious.
If it weren't for the fear of being scolded by the old lady, Han Lao's second daughter-in-law would have wanted to take Hehua's schoolbag and make a new dress for Xiaolei. Hehua also knew what her mother was thinking. She was so scared that she would put her schoolbag on her body every morning when she woke up, and she would sleep with it on her body at night, for fear that her mother would take it away.
Han Lao's third daughter-in-law felt that Su Yue was too careless in doing things. With so many children in the house, only the fourth child and Hehua were given the bag, and not the other children. Their third room only had one child, Maomao. Isn't this partiality? Is this what an aunt should do?
So when Su Yue was teaching Han Aimin and Hehua, she saw Han's third daughter-in-law walking over to take a look, pretending to be novel, touching the schoolbag that Han Aimin and Hehua put on the table, and praised: "Eldest sister-in-law is so generous with children. She is willing to make schoolbags for the children. Sister-in-law, please make one for my Maomao. Maomao is so envious of his uncle and eldest sister. He dreams of having a schoolbag."
Su Yue laughed and said: "It's okay if you want a schoolbag, but you have to listen to the class as honestly as Aimin and Hehua, you can let Maomao follow me in the class."
Han's third daughter-in-law Naturally, she knew in her heart that her little boy couldn't sit still, and asking him to go to class would be like killing him. But he really wanted his schoolbag, so he said: "Okay, I will let Maomao follow you to learn knowledge soon. Sister-in-law, you give it to him first. Make a schoolbag so that he can carry it to school."
Su Yue laughed in her heart, thinking that she was a fool and asking her to make a schoolbag first, then she wouldn't be able to care if Maomao didn't study.
"I have to see if Maomao can learn first. You let him study with me for three days. If he can persist, I will give him a schoolbag."
Han's third wife smile froze on her face, thinking about it in her mind, and felt that it was not impossible to force Maomao to study for three days. As long as he persisted for three days and got a schoolbag, she would let him go. This deal would not be a loss.
So she ran to hug Maomao and said to him: "From now on, you study hard with your aunt, and then let your aunt make your schoolbag."
Maomao shouted immediately after hearing this, "Mom, I won't go, studying is so boring, I want to go out and play! Mom, didn't you say that people who study are fools?"
Han's third daughter-in-law froze when he said that. She was so embarrassed that she was so angry that she forced him to sit on the stool and say, "What nonsense! When did mother say this? It's good to study. You are not allowed to play. Just sit there and study."
Maomao didn't like studying in the first place, and now his mother is pressuring him not to let him go out to play. His temper suddenly rose. He kicked his hands and feet and yelled: "I won't do it, I won't do it! I don't want to study here. Studying is for fools!"
Boy Mao was very energetic when he was making a fuss. Han Laosan's third daughter-in-law did not hold him down, but she was inadvertently kicked by Mao Mao on her stomach with both feet. She screamed in one moment, and the next second she held her stomach and wailed, "Ouch! Come on, mother, my stomach hurts so much…"
Su Yue was startled by her. Seeing that she was holding her stomach and her face was wrinkled together, as if she was in pain, she immediately walked over to help her. "What's up with her? What's wrong with your stomach? "
Han's third daughter-in-law gasped hissingly, "My stomach hurts, it hurts so much…"
She was wearing thick winter clothes. Su Yue couldn't see anything when she looked at her stomach. Even if she thought about it, Even if a child kicked, nothing will happen to her, but she reacted like this. Could it be that Su Yue immediately thought of pregnancy. If she was pregnant and was kicked in the stomach, it would be serious.
Su Yue hurriedly said : "Aimin, hurry up and go find the barefoot doctor from the brigade to take a look. "
Han Aimin didn't know what was going on, but seeing his sister-in-law giving such orders, he understood that something had happened. He hurriedly ran out the door and disappeared.
Su Yue went to tell Hehua again: "He Hua, hurry up and find you. Go to third uncle and ask him to come back quickly."
"Oh, I'll go right away! " "Hehua also hurriedly ran to call someone.
Maomao also knew that he was in trouble. He was so frightened that he threw up his head and cried loudly. He cried so loudly that his cry disturbed Mrs. Han who was in the kitchen. She was wearing an apron. She ran out of the kitchen with flour still on her hands, "What's wrong? Is this what it is?"
Su Yue: "Mom, Maomao just kicked the third sister-in-law in the stomach. The third sister-in-law complained that she had a stomachache. I wonder if she is pregnant."
Mrs. Han was startled and looked at the pale third daughter-in-law of Han, "Third daughter-in-law, are you pregnant?" "
Han Lao's third daughter-in-law was stunned when she heard this, and said painfully: "Mom, I don't know."
Old Mrs. Han asked angrily: "How long has it been since your period? "
Han's third daughter-in-law thought about it carefully while enduring the pain in her stomach. This thought scared herself, "Mom, It haven't been here for two months! Am I really pregnant? "
When Old Mrs. Han heard this, she wanted to give her a shovel. How could this person be so confused? She didn't even know she hadn't had her menstrual period in two months! Is there such an unreasonable person? But now the third wife's pain is so painful for her. It was not easy to scold her, so she and Su Yue hurriedly helped her into the room.
Han Laosan heard the news and ran back in a hurry. He saw his wife trembling in pain. He looked anxious all of a sudden, "What's wrong? "
Mrs. Han was so angry that she slapped him in the face, "Your wife is most likely pregnant! She, the mother, doesn't know, and you, the father, don't know either. It's really unlucky for the child to end up in your family! If something happens, I won't let you off! "
When he heard that his wife might be pregnant, Han Laosan was at a loss. He turned his head and saw Mao standing outside the door, choking and crying.
Remembering that Hehua told him that Maomao kicked his mother and made her like this, he became angry all of a sudden. He picked him up, hit him on the buttocks and hit him hard, "You bastard who kicks people around, I will beat you to death today!"
Maomao cried loudly after being beaten.
Old Mrs. Han said angrily: "Okay, now is not time to teach the child a lesson! Go and see if Old Man Zhang is here."
Old Man Zhang is the barefoot doctor of the brigade.
Hearing this, Han Laosan let Maomao go and ran outside to meet the barefoot doctor. As a result, as soon as he ran to the gate, he saw old man Zhang coming. He immediately ran into the house with his horse, "Uncle Zhang, please see my wife , she is pregnant. She was kicked by the boy at home just now."
Old man Zhang hurried over in a hurry, and before he could take a breath, he rushed to the bedside to check the pulse of Han Lao's third daughter-in-law. After doing so, his face became serious, and he said: "She is pregnant, but it seems that the child is unstable. "
Everyone turned pale when they heard this, and Mrs. Han hurriedly asked: "Well, Lao Zhang, hurry up and take care of the child. Nothing should happen to the child."
But Lao Zhang shook his head, "I really can't do this, so hurry up and send her to the commune hospital." He is not that talented. He just learned a few skills from an old doctor when he was young. He can usually cure a small cold or fever, but he can't cure this.
When everyone heard what he said, they felt anxious again. Fortunately, Han Aimin went to borrow the mule cart at this time. Su Yue quickly said: "Mom, let's send the her to the hospital quickly."
Mrs. Han quickly gave instructions. Han Laosan and Han Laoer slowly carried Han Laosan's wife out.
Su Yue pulled off the quilt and padding on the bed, ran to the door and spread the padding on the bare mule cart, then asked them to put Han Lao's third daughter-in-law on it and cover her with the quilt. Let them take the person to the hospital quickly.
Mrs. Han was worried and went with her, leaving Su Yue and Han Aiguo at home to take care of several children.
Only then did Su Yue tell Han Aiguo the specific situation just now.
Han Aiguo glanced at Maomao, who was sobbing and choking in the corner. As soon as Maomao caught his gaze, he was so frightened that he started crying again.
Han Aiguo withdrew his gaze again.
At this time, everyone in the village heard that something happened to the Han family, and some well-meaning women came to the Han family to find out what was going on in the name of concern.
Su Yue didn't want to talk to them about her family's private affairs, so she wanted to send them away on the grounds that her family members were not feeling well, but obviously this reason could not satisfy their curiosity, so they refused to leave and wanted to continue asking.
Seeing this, Han Aiguo glanced around these people with a dull face, "What do you want to ask, ask me."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the women immediately silenced them. Who dares to ask such a cold-faced person like him openly for gossip, everyone made excuses and left in despair.
Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
When it was getting dark, Han Laosan and the others finally came back. Han Laosan's wife was lying on the mule cart. Her face was not as pale as in the morning, and she no longer complained about pain, but she was a little wilted.
Su Yue stepped forward and asked, "How's it going? Are you okay?"
Old Mrs. Han breathed a sigh of relief, "The baby has been saved, but the third daughter-in-law can't get out of bed for the past two months, so it's best to stay in bed to protect her pregnancy."
Su Yue: "As long as the child is fine, take good care of yourself during this period."
Mrs. Han asked Han Laosan and the others to carry Han Laosan's wife to the bed, while she went to catch a chicken from the chicken coop in the yard , "The third daughter-in-law has fetal gas, and the doctor said she needs to be replenished. I'll stew a chicken for her."
Su Yue took the chicken, "Mom, you've been running around all day. I'll stew it while you go and have a rest."
Old Mrs. Han was afraid that Su Yue would be too busy alone, so she wanted to help. Han Aiguo said, "Mom, go to the room and rest for a while. I'll help Yue'er cook."
Seeing this, Old Mrs. Han stopped insisting. She was really exhausted and her feet hurt, so she went into the room to take a rest.
Han Aiguo took the chicken from Su Yue's hand, took a kitchen knife to kill the chicken under the eaves, put it in a big basin, poured boiling water on the chicken, plucked the chicken's feathers, and waited until the chicken was cleaned before handing it over to her.
Having him help with the chicken saved Su Yue a lot of trouble. Su Yue took the chicken into the kitchen to stew, and Han Aiguo helped her light the fire.
Taking advantage of the break from stewing chicken, Su Yue made some corn pancakes for dinner for her family. Everyone must be very hungry after running around all day.
After the pancakes were cooked, Su Yue asked everyone to come out to eat. After the family finished dinner, the chicken stewed in the kitchen was already emitting a strong fragrance, which made the children salivate.
Su Yue poured out a basin of chicken soup and gave it to Han Laosan, "Laosan, this is what mother used to replenish your daughter-in-law's health. You bring it to her to drink. You have to drink it while it's hot."
Han Laosan took it gratefully and After thanking her several times, he brought it into the room and gave it to his wife to drink.
Xiaolei was drooling from the corner of his mouth. He hugged Han's second daughter-in-law's legs and acted coquettishly, "Mom, I want to drink chicken soup too!"
Han's second daughter-in-law looked at Mrs. Han's face. She didn't dare to say anything. She just patted his head and coaxed him, "That's for your third aunt to replenish her health. You can't drink it."
Xiao Lei quit, "Why is it that third aunt can drink it as an adult but we can't? If I want to drink it, I'll drink it!" "
Han Lao's second daughter-in-law went to see Mrs. Han.
Old Mrs. Han had been tired for a day and had a headache from his quarrel. She was too lazy to talk now, so she said to Su Yue: " Yueyue, go and give half a bowl to each of the children to taste, and give the rest to the third's wife will drink it at noon tomorrow."
After the old lady said this, Su Yue went to the kitchen and used bowls to fill most of the bowls for the children at home. A piece of meat was given to each bowl, and there was a soup basin left in the pot. It looks like it's just enough for Han's third daughter-in-law to have a drink at noon tomorrow.
Xiaolei drank the delicious soup and was finally satisfied, so beautiful that his eyes narrowed.
Old Mrs. Han said to Han's second daughter-in-law: "Let me tell you, that soup is for the third daughter-in-law to replenish her health. Don't ask Xiao Lei to come over tomorrow to ask for it. "
Han's second daughter-in-law rubbed her hands in embarrassment, "Mom, I have to go to work. How can I take care of the child? And what child is not greedy? When he grows up, It'll be fine."
"If a child is greedy, he won't cry and clamor for it." Old Mrs. Han was very angry. "From now on, if Xiaolei is greedy again, I will make it for him but I will ask you for the things I made for him. You give me as much as he wants to eat. Doesn't he want to eat chicken? Give me the chicken you raised, and I will cook it for your son."
Han second daughter-in-law's face immediately turned bad, and she slapped Xiaolei on the back in a fake way, "You don't ask grandma for food anymore, do you hear me? How can your mother have so many things for you to eat?, I can't even feed you children anymore."
Xiao Lei continued to drink his soup without any pain, as if he didn't hear anything.
Mrs. Han was so angry that she didn't care about her anymore. As soon as the children finished drinking the soup, she told them to go back to their respective rooms to sleep.
The children went to bed, and the adults also followed behind to wash up and go to sleep.
However, Su Yue was not sleepy yet, so she lit a kerosene lamp and knitted a sweater under the lamp.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Han Aiguo only wore a military coat to keep out the cold. There was no decent sweater inside. The sleeves of the only sweater were frayed and there was a big hole in the back. However, he continued to wear it like everyone else. But Su Yue felt distressed and immediately went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few kilograms of wool and needles, planning to knit him one piece.
However, Su Yue had always bought sweaters to wear when she was so old. She didn't know how to knit at all. For this reason, she followed Hehua to ask for advice.
Hehua, a child under ten years old, could knit sweaters, which made Su Yue a little embarrassed. She decided to improve her skills and studied hard for two days, and finally she was able to get started. It's just that the knitting is very difficult. She often misses stitches and destroys them and starts over again. This has resulted in her still not knitting even one waist.
Han Aiguo sat next to her and watched her knitting. After a while, he suddenly asked, "What day is it for you?"
"Huh?" Su Yue glanced at him unclearly, "What ?"
Han Aiguo asked : " menstruation."
"Why are you asking me this? You don't think I'm pregnant, do you?" Su Yue looked at him in surprise, "We have only been married for a few days, are you in a hurry to have a baby?"
Han Aiguo shook his head, moved behind her and pulled her whole body into his arms, "I'm not in a hurry to have a child, I just want to remember when your period will come."
Su Yue became more and more suspicious, "What on earth are you doing? ?"
Han Aiguo pursed his lips and said after a while: "I will remember the time you have it in the future, so that you will not forget."
Su Yue blinked and suddenly thought of why he asked this. "Are you afraid that I will be careless like the third daughter-in-law and forget the time when I had periods and not even know that I am pregnant?"
Han Aiguo said in a low voice, "I will help you remember it in the future."
Su Yue turned around and kissed him on the lips, impressed by this man's attentiveness.
In this era, men rarely even talk to their wives to talk about their concerns. They feel that a grown man chatting with women all day long is not like a man, let alone remembering the time when a woman's periods come.
It's really good that Han Aiguo takes the initiative to remember her time.
Su Yue felt that she shouldn't reject his affection. If he wanted to pamper her, she would be willing to do so. If she didn't, she would be a fool, okay?
"I have periods on the 20th of every month, but sometimes it comes two or three days earlier or later, but two or three days are normal."
Han Aiguo silently remembered it in his heart.
Su Yue was secretly happy in her heart. She felt that this moment was a good time. Since she had already mentioned this topic, she might as well talk about it a little more, including the discomfort a woman has when she has periods, the fact that she couldn't touch cold water, couldn't be cold, and couldn't be angry. She explained all the taboos to him.
There are few born good men, and there are even fewer good men who meet their own requirements, but women can subtly explain. As for men, teach him what he doesn't understand. If you make trouble with him when he does something wrong, then he will do it next time But once he understand, he will gradually start to do things in the direction you want.
Instead of waiting for a good man who suits your dreams, it is better to find one on your own.
Su Yue couldn't help but secretly praise her wit.
Just as she was enjoying herself, Han Aiguo interrupted her, "I did the wrong side again."
" Oh, I was so busy talking to you that I made a mistake. I have to start over again." Su Yue saw that everything was wrong. After several injections, she quickly destroyed it and started again.
Han Aiguo simply grabbed her hand and said, "Stop knitting. It's dark at night and it's not good for your eyes."
Su Yue sighed and looked at him intently: "I think you won't have any new sweaters to wear this winter."
Han Aiguo laughed and said, "Then I will wear it next year. You still have a whole year to weave. Don't be in a hurry."
He pulled her into the quilt and stripped her clean under the quilt.
