Chapter 83：

When the cubs are on holiday, the Han family is very lively. Xiaoyuer and Dundun Yaya have come to play these days, and the family is like a kindergarten.

Onigiri and Zhuzi teach them to play checkers in the room, Xiaodoubao accompanies Su Xiaoxiao to catch up with the design draft in the room, and the two big cubs outside know that Su Xiaoxiao is busy and do not allow other people to make noise, but they do not affect each other.

The little cub moved a small stool and sat beside Su Xiaoxiao and followed her to write and draw quietly and enjoy herself.

Su Xiaoxiao asked him, "Why doesn't Xiaodoubao play with the brothers?"

Xiaodoubao bent his big, clear eyes: "To accompany Mama and younger brother~~~"

"Xiaodoubao is so cute." Su Xiaoxiao rubbed the cub's head, her heart was about to melt, she felt her belly and thought, it would be great if she could have another cute little brother like Xiaodoubao.

Su Xiaoxiao was so busy that she forgot the time. When Hancheng arrived home, the other children knew it was time to go home for lunch. Dundun and Yaya went home hand in hand. Xiaodu came to find Xiaoyuer for dinner. Xiaoyu Er was pulling the door frame and refused to leave: "I'm going to eat at Aunt Su's house today!"

Xiao Du directly put the person on his shoulder: "The head of the regiment said, you must go home for dinner today!"

Xiaoyuer was so anxious that she burst into tears, and kept shouting "Uncle Han, help!" Su Xiaoxiao quickly came out: "Xiaodu, you put Xiaoyuer down first, what's wrong with having a meal with me?"

Xiao Du shook his head with a single tendon: "My old man hasn't seen Xiao Yu'er for three days, and the head of the regiment asked me to take him home!" After speaking, he carried Xiao Yu'er regardless and ran away.

Xiaoyuer cried and grabbed the ground, disturbing the neighbors in the whole alley. Those who didn't know it thought that someone was coming to steal the child. Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing.

"What happened to Zhao Xianfeng?"

Han Cheng said, "The old man stayed in the hospital for two days. He went home today, thinking about Xiao Yu'er."

It is easy to understand that the elderly are prone to fall ill as soon as winter begins.

Eat small wontons for lunch, Su Xiaoxiao wraps it up in the morning, Hancheng goes home and cooks it in a pot, and then add a few green vegetables.

"My design draft is complete. Take me back to the propaganda department in the afternoon. I see if there are any details that need to be dealt with, I will deal with it together, so as not to run around."

Han Cheng shook his head: "Let's go tomorrow."

Su smiled and blinked: "Why?"

Han Cheng said while washing vegetables, "It's windy today, and it's too cold to ride a bicycle. I'll drive the car back from the yard at night and take you there."

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless: "I'm not tofu, this wind is nothing."

"Be obedient." Han Cheng's words were beyond doubt.

When Han Cheng became stubborn, Su Xiaoxiao had nothing to do. Anyway, Han Cheng had to finish tomorrow's class before taking a vacation. It was not bad for this day, so Su Xiaoxiao had to follow his wishes.

Zhao Xianfeng said many times before that he used the old man's car for Han Cheng, and he also has a car. In fact, the old man's car is rarely driven, but Han Cheng refused to do anything special.

But after Su Xiaoxiao was pregnant, Han Cheng felt that it was still convenient to have a car. Now the weather is getting colder and colder, Su Xiaoxiao was afraid of the cold. Tomorrow, I will go to Zhao Xianfeng's house to drive the car back, and I will leave it at home in the future. I will have a car to use in case I get sick like last time.

After having lunch and resting, Su Xiaoxiao continued to refine the design draft, trying not to fix the details.

Su Xiaoxiao heard the bicycle bell ringing outside the door, the rice ball and the pillar reacted quickly, and ran out "dong dong dong".

After a while, he brought back two pigeons: "Mom, Uncle Hu said that the pigeons made up his body, so he left two for us."

It's too cold now, so Hancheng doesn't go shopping for vegetables every day, on average every two or three days. When not shopping for vegetables, he takes the children for morning exercises in his own yard, and on the day of grocery shopping, he takes the children out for morning exercises.

So since Lao Hu knew that Su Xiaoxiao was pregnant, any good things will be sent to him recently.

"Pigeons are indeed a good thing, then let's eat pigeon soup at night."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't cook much during this time, and her cooking skills were a bit unfamiliar.

Hancheng can cook a lot of dishes now, and sometimes he can make a delicious meal without Su Xiaoxiao's guidance.

Su Xiaoxiao felt distressed that Han Cheng was too tired to go to work. Generally, simple soups and hot pots would be prepared in advance, and he could eat them when he came back from get off work and ordered dishes.

If you eat stir-fried vegetables, the weather is very cold. Usually, you wait for Han Cheng to get home before cooking. When he gets home, he won't let her do it again.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile when she thought of Han Cheng, he was really a good man out of ten thousand.

Lao Hu treated the pigeons very cleanly. After a little washing, they can be put into the pot. The pigeons these years are not the pigeons. They are the kind of old pigeons with hard bones that have been raised for many years. , a small handful of wolfberry is very delicious and simmered in water for a few hours.

The children are studying in the house, and Zhuzi takes the second-grade course with the rice ball. He plans to jump to the third grade with the rice ball in September next year, and Su Xiaoxiao will also follow him to teach the third-grade Chinese, so Zhuzi redoubles his efforts.

Zhuzi doesn't have the unforgettable memory of rice balls, but he has perseverance. After learning rice **** once, he can remember them. It doesn't matter.

Therefore, every time Su Xiaoxiao checks, the level of the two of them is actually equal to each other. The only difference is the length of study. If they continue at this pace, they will have no problem jumping to the third grade together.

After the children finished their studies, when it was time to combine work and rest, Su Xiaoxiao arranged tasks for them: "Rice Ball Pillar, you can go pick some snow peas in the vegetable garden. By the way, peel off the silk and wait for Comrade Hancheng to come back and fry it."

Xiaodoubao tugged at the clothes of the rice ball: "Duoduo, I'm going too~~~"

Xiaodoubao can speak quite accurately now, and he can also be called "big brother", but he is still habitually calling his two brothers "duo duo".

Su Xiaoxiao likes to hear him call people the most. No matter who they call, they are very cute: "Go ahead, try not to get your clothes dirty after taking a bath."

Onigiri took his younger brother out: "I know, Mom."

The snow peas are growing satisfactorily. They climbed half of the wall along the bamboo. They can't eat the ones that grow below, let alone the ones on the top of the wall. Su Xiaoxiao plans to let the elders on the top of the wall eat only beans. eat.

Han Cheng went to Zhao Xianfeng to pick up the car today, so he came back a little later, and he could smell the food at home before he walked into the courtyard.

Su Xiaoxiao bowed her eyes to meet her: "Why is it so late today?"

Han Cheng's body was so cold that he didn't touch her hand: "Go to Zhao Xianfeng to pick up the car, and leave it at our house later, and go into the house in the cold outside."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise: "Stay at our house? Is that okay?"

Han Cheng said: "The old man's car was originally rewarded to him personally, not a public car. Zhao Xianfeng has a car for the army. This car is temporarily unavailable. It doesn't matter who he wants to use it."

Su Xiao smiled and said: "Fry the snow peas and you can start the meal. Go and cut some bacon and fry it to make it more fragrant."

Han Cheng nodded: "I know, you and the children pack up and start dinner right away."

Hancheng went to cook, and Su Xiaoxiao took the cubs to clear the table.

After a while, pigeon soup and bacon fried snow peas were served, and the children followed to the kitchen to serve meals.

There was a plate full of green snow peas. There were only a few slices of bacon, but it was more like a side dish. Su Xiaoxiao divided the bacon into the bowls of Hancheng and the children, just two slices per person.

Eating too much pickled food is not good for the baby. She tries to eat as little as possible. The family knows this, so let her eat more pigeon legs.

There is no way these days. The beans, snow peas, green peppers, etc. in the vegetable garden need to be served with a little bacon to taste better.

However, this meal with pigeon soup is also nutritious enough, and the family still eats warm and full.

Now that the water is cold, Su Xiaoxiao does not dare to let the children touch the cold water, and even tries to arrange the bath at noon, and Hancheng washes the dishes after meals.

Early the next morning, Su Xiaoxiao put all the knives and sparks in the kitchen and locked the door of the kitchen. She was not worried about the two children at home, but she should be careful about which arrogant child came to the house to play with fire and knife.

Su Xiaoxiao arranged the homework for the two big cubs again, and left some fried rice cakes and toffee for them. If she came back late, she would eat some pads first, and told her not to run around before she came back before going out.

Since going to school, the two cubs have become a lot more sensible, especially Zhu Zi, who is steady and steady like a big brother, Su Xiaoxiao is still very relieved to go out for a while.

The small bean bag was too small, and Su Xiaoxiao was still worried about leaving him at home, so he still took it with him.

Han Cheng first sent them to the Propaganda Department and instructed Su Xiaoxiao: "Wait for me to pick them up at noon, don't come out, I will go in and find you when the time comes."

"Understood." Su Xiaoxiao wanted to hug Hancheng, but there were people coming and going, so forget it, and waved Xiaodoubao's little paw, "Say goodbye to Dad."

"Bababye~~~" Xiaodoubao's voice was cute and crisp, and Han Cheng hugged him before driving away.

Su Minglan just walked to the door, and said yin and yang angrily: "Yo, it's really people relying on clothes, so it's Comrade Su, I almost didn't recognize it, was that your Director Han just now? Drive you to work in person? My old Chen You don't even know how to drive me to work in the unit's car, it's quite convincing that you are a stepmother."

Su Minglan is only a few years older than Su Xiaoxiao. She is the continuation of Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen is more than ten years older than her. Today, she is wearing clothes of the same style as Su Xiaoxiao, but the quality is not as good as Su Xiaoxiao's. She Ben is much taller than Su Xiaoxiao, and he also wears a pair of high-heeled leather shoes. Even if he talks with a smile, it will give people a domineering feeling.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what she meant when she said that, but it's just that the comer is not good. She had vaguely heard some rumors saying that Mr. Chen originally had a crush on Jiang Xue, but Jiang Xue married Su Minglan because he didn't like Mr. Chen.

Su Xiaoxiao had heard of these after-dinner chats that were indistinguishable from true and false. Logically, she and Su Minglan had no grievances or enmity. I really didn't know where her inexplicable hostility came from.

Su Xiaoxiao is not a persimmon, she pushes back: "Yes, I also think that my stepmother is quite convincing, but my Hancheng car is not a unit car, Zhao The old man likes him to let him drive me to pick me up to work. I know, everyone is Comrade Su, and they are all stepmothers. Those who don’t know think you are Pacific Police. "

After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking with a smile, she took Xiaodoubao's hand and walked forward. Xiaodoubao suddenly turned around and made a face at Su Minglan, sticking out his tongue and making a face. He didn't like this woman, if it wasn't for his mother who said that he wouldn't let him do it, He had already kicked her.

Su Minglan was so angry that she stomped her feet. Jiang Xue was parachuted from the capital and didn't know why. After so many years of pressing her down, she would endure it, but why should even a village girl from a small place that is nothing to press her head?

The dress on Su Xiaoxiao's body is obviously a foreign brand, and even money can't buy it. I don't know how many times more expensive than the dress on her body. She is a dignified lady of a cultural and art troupe, but she actually dresses better than a village girl. Choked to the point of being unable to return her mouth, where would she put her face?

Su Xiaoxiao took Xiaodoubao into the minister's office to make a report. The chief designer happened to be there, so he discussed the details on the spot and made changes on the spot, and added another alternative.

The minister was amazed at Su Xiaoxiao's work efficiency, and couldn't help sighing: "Comrade Su, if you can come to work full-time, we will be relieved."

The manuscript on the propaganda team's side is in a mess, and it is time to change the manuscript. If it is like Su Xiaoxiao, I don't know how much time and energy it will save. What's the use of working overtime every day like now? not finished?

Su Xiaoxiao shook his head: "I'll talk about it later, the current family and physical conditions do not allow it, but Minister, like my comrades on duty, I work overtime at home to think about plans and change plans to complete tasks. I'm not that kind of person. Geniuses who can come up with a plan casually are all built up with time and energy. I have to go back to my parents’ house this year. In the past few days, apart from sleeping, I have to catch up on drafts. Woolen cloth."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't lie, her family and physical conditions did not allow it, and the meal was indeed cooked by Han Cheng. It wasn't that she deliberately hid, but that others couldn't finish the same job with overtime. It seemed too easy for her to do it easily. It's not to highlight her ability, it's so annoying.

She can't even work at work now, and she will soon have a baby and raise a child. No matter how good she is, she can't get a promotion and a raise in a short time. She doesn't want to create such unnecessary limelight.

Chief Designer Zhou Jianguo looked at Su Xiaoxiao with admiration, and nodded again and again: "Yes, it seems easy for us to get the plan, but only Comrade Su himself knows how much work goes into it, and there is no work in our Propaganda Department. It can be done casually, with sweat behind it, and every comrade is the same."

Hearing what they said, the minister also thought that he was taking it for granted, nodded and said, "Okay, Comrade Su Xiaoxiao, you can start your vacation from tomorrow. Let's talk about what tasks you have when you come back from your hometown for the New Year."

Su Xiaoxiao originally came up with this idea: "That's good, my Hancheng is also on vacation tomorrow, I'll go back to clean up first, and try to go back early."

The minister looked at the time, and it was indeed time for get off work. When Yu Guang swept to Xiaodoubao, he remembered that there was still a child, and said with emotion: "This kid in your family is really good, and he can sit quietly for so long at such a young age."

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed Xiaodoubao's head and said softly: "Our Xiaodoubao is very good, there are no elders to take children in the family, I take them wherever I go, and I have to take him with me in class. are used to it."

The minister also felt that it was not easy for a female comrade, and asked her if she had received the annual report.

Su Xiaoxiao shook his head: "No."

The minister asked Zhou Jianguo: "Didn't we send them all? Why didn't anyone send them to Comrade Su? Go, go get me two copies right away, one is for the child."

Su Xiaoxiao waved his hands again and again: "I can't help it, leader, it's good for my non-staff organization to send it, so that others must gossip when they see it."

The minister suppressed his voice, and there was something in his words: "You ask Zhang Zhu to eat more."

Su Xiaoxiao immediately understood that it was for the child, she thought it was for Xiaodoubao, so she no longer refused.

When Hancheng arrived, Zhou Jianguo happened to be carrying things with his personal bag: "Director Han is here to pick up Comrade Su from get off work? Well, these are the years of Comrade Su."

so much? Han Cheng looked at Su Xiaoxiao suspiciously, and Su Xiaoxiao said, "One portion is given to the child by the minister, let's go back and talk about it."

Zhou Jianguo helped move things into the car, and then turned back after watching the car go away.

Su Minglan came out: "Yo, how about our chief designer of Tangtang be a porter? How come Su Xiaoxiao has more years than our regular workers?"

Although Zhou Jianguo doesn't look down on Su Minglan very much, but because of her identity, it's not easy to offend him: "Go ask the minister, what he says and what I do."

Turn around and leave.

Su Minglan snorted coldly, is there something wrong with these men? They smiled at Su like a pug, and turned their heads to show her face, they really **** her off.

If Han Cheng wasn't smart, he wouldn't be able to give birth to such smart sons as Little Rice Ball and Xiaodoubao. He got in the car and asked Su Xiaoxiao, "Have a portion of the pillars?"

Su Xiaoxiao held Xiaodoubao with two small hands and applauded: "Our Hancheng comrades are really smart."

Han Cheng looked at the rearview mirror and gave them a doting smile.

There are quite a few annual examples, including rice, oil, sugar, and cakes, as well as some dry goods such as mushrooms, fungus, scallops, dried fish, and dried fish. The point is, there is a small basket of big apples.

If you ask Su Xiaoxiao what she is most craving for after she is pregnant, it must be fruit. Fruit is really a good thing that money can't buy here. Sometimes the goods are already consumed by the staff as soon as they arrive at the supply and marketing cooperative, except for the supply of bananas. One point, the supply of other fruits is really small. When Su Xiaoxiao is really greedy, she has to wash a tomato and eat it.

She is drooling looking at the apple now, and immediately cuts a whole family to share.

The whole family started to pack after dinner. Su Xiaoxiao brought all the apples. Hancheng brought back half a box of Jingba from the capital. She also brought it back for her family to taste. Hancheng also has an annual example. , there were three copies at home, Su Xiaoxiao packed one of them back intact, and bought more candies and biscuits in the city.

The cubs were very excited to know that they were going to Sujia Village tomorrow.

Xiaodoubao ran in and out, the smile on his face never went down.

Both the rice **** and the pillars learned to pack their own things.

The rice ball asked, "Mom, can I go up the mountain with Xiaobao to catch a bird and bring it back?"

Su Xiaoxiao was a little helpless: "No, it's best to let wild animals live happily in nature, and you can't catch them in winter."

Zhuzi also asked: "Then can we go catch the pond lice?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "It's so cold that you can't go into the water."

The rice ball didn't give up: "How about looking for bird eggs? How about catching voles? How about setting off firecrackers? How about fried cow dung?"

Zhuzi added: "You might even catch wild rabbits when you go up the mountain."

Su Xiaoxiao's head hurt, and she rubbed her temples: "Cub, mom doesn't want to go back now."

The rice ball hurriedly put down the clothes in his hand and came over to beat Su Xiaoxiao's back: "Mom, I'll just ask, we won't do anything you say can't be done!"

Zhuzi also tried to nod: "Aunt Su, we must listen to you."

Xiaodoubao hugged Su Xiaoxiao's thigh and raised his head to look at her: "Mama, I miss my grandma, and I miss brother Xiaobao~~~"

Han Cheng couldn't stand it any longer: "Then pack up your things quickly and leave early tomorrow morning."

The little rice ball hurriedly brought all his fun toys, ready to take them to Sujia Village to share with Xiaobao and the others.

Han Cheng had already explained to Zhao Xianfeng, asking him to send someone to feed the chickens and water the vegetables in the vegetable garden every day, and pick and eat what he wanted to eat. Zhao Xianfeng knew that he was going back to Sujia Village and took a cigarette and a bottle of wine. give him.

Han Cheng declined, and Zhao Xianfeng said, "How did you become a son-in-law? If you don't smoke or drink, you feel that men all over the world are the same as you, and your old father-in-law will feel a sense of face if you don't take it out and share it with others. , you are too embarrassed to come to the door without a cigarette or a bottle of wine during the Chinese New Year."

Han Cheng deeply reflected on himself, he was indeed far inferior to Zhao Xianfeng in terms of dealing with people and things.

Early the next morning, all the men in the family, including Xiaodoubao, got up and waited for Su Xiaoxiao, who had slept until she woke up naturally, to eat breakfast and go out.

Su Xiao smiled and felt a little embarrassed to see the whole family waiting for him, and his movements became quicker.

After breakfast, I checked all the doors and windows in the house, and the whole family happily set foot on the way back to their parents' home.

Because the weather was too cold, and he left so early, it was just lunchtime when he arrived in the city, so he could go to the state-run restaurant to eat a bowl of hot dumplings or noodles, so Su Xiaoxiao did not prepare dry food.

There is no traffic jam these days. Compared with the Spring Festival army in the train station, it is much more comfortable to drive back to the New Year.

All the way to the urban area where Sujia Village is located, it happened to be lunch at noon. On the way to find the state-run restaurant, we passed a non-staple food factory. The family got off the car and squeezed for a long time to buy sugar, cakes and some nuts, some of which were reserved for the children in the car. eat.

It was just over one o'clock after lunch, and it was only a few hours' drive from Sujia Village.

Originally, they planned to stay in the hostel for one night to rest before continuing on the road, but Su Xiaoxiao did not get motion sickness, and Hancheng was not too tired. They walked around the city, bought a chicken and some pork in the black market, and returned to the car. After taking a rest, Han Cheng decided to continue on his way.

Su Xiaoxiao and the children were resting in the back seat. The cubs who had the habit of taking naps were still slumbering. Su Xiaoxiao also squinted for a while. Even though Hancheng has been driving very hard all the time, in fact, Su Xiaoxiao can also drive. Just because he was afraid of scaring Han Cheng, he didn't dare to rashly ask her to drive for a while, thinking about finding an excuse to learn to drive in the future, so that he could take turns driving with him, and it wouldn't be so hard to drive alone.

It was after five o'clock in the evening when we arrived at Sujia Village.

The small village in winter is particularly quiet and peaceful. At this time, every household is waiting for dinner at home, with smoke curling up from the kitchen. I don't know who shouted, "There is a big car!"

The members who heard it all peered out of their yard to look at the car.

"Yo, wasn't this the car that Xiaoxiao got married last time? Did Xiaoxiao come back for the New Year?"

"Eighty percent, no one in our village has ever ridden a car except for her."

"Although she is a stepmother for others, she is still beautiful."

"You didn't see Yufeng coming back. She and Dabao and Xiaobao both have new padded jackets. This son-in-law is really good."

"You don't have the conditions to drive a big car and bring your mother-in-law back to her parents' house?"

…

The big car drove slowly through the chatter of the members, and soon stopped in front of the yard of Lao Su's house.

The car door opened, and several cubs who were very curious about the small village couldn't wait to get out of the car. Before anyone entered the door, they were already shouting "Grandma, Grandma" and "Xiaobao Xiaobao" outside the door.

Li Yufeng was preparing dinner in the kitchen. Xiaobaotu's kitchen was warm. He also moved a small desk to practice calligraphy in the kitchen. Hearing the shouts from outside, he suddenly looked up at Li Yufeng and looked at Li Yufeng: "Grandma, why do I seem to hear it? The sound of rice **** and pillars?"

Li Yufeng hurriedly wiped her hands with her apron and walked out overjoyed: "It's not like, it's just the sound of rice **** and pillars, it's your aunt coming back!"

When Li Yufeng finished speaking, the little treasure pen was thrown away, and he ran out like an arrow...
