Chapter 18: Indifferent Heart
"Mom......" Song Chenguang rode on Song Yuanhuan's neck to play, and the little hand that was originally holding Song Yuanhuan's head immediately opened and waved when he saw Xu Xiuxiu pushing the door in, and the little guy obviously missed Xu Xiuxiu very much.
"I'm back, I've cooked a meal for you and put it on the table, you can eat some while it's hot." As he spoke, he put down Song Chenguang, who was playing around on his neck.
"Thank you." Xu Xiuxiu nodded, and sat down at the small table with no way to hide her loss.
Song Yuanhuan stepped forward with Song Chenguang in his arms, sandwiched the little guy between his knees, and let the little guy jump around his thighs with both hands, "Can't find a suitable storefront?" As soon as Song Yuanhuan saw Xu Xiuxiu's expression, he guessed her situation.
He has done some business in private, knowing that although the reform and opening up at this time, the state is vigorously supporting individual trading, but there are not many people who have the courage to go to the sea, and most people are also worried that their hard-earned money will be wasted, so it seems that simple business opportunities are not easy to act, not to mention, Xu Xiuxiu plans to do the catering industry.
"Hmm!" Xu Xiuxiu opened the lunch box and nodded after hearing Song Yuanhuan's question, "After walking for a day and seeing a lot of places, the suitable price is too high, and the low price is not suitable." At this time, Xu Xiuxiu realized that she saw things too simply, even though she knew a lot of opportunities, and knew that almost everyone who went to the sea in the eighties made success, but the facts told her that it was not as easy as she imagined, and the store alone was estimated to make her choke.
This made Xu Xiuxiu, who had already figured out how to decorate the store, how to attract people in a novel way, and how to make her dishes popular, a little discouraged.
"I'll take you to see a store tomorrow, it's a shop I once bought under my subordinates, with an area of about fifty square meters, the location is very good, it should be good to decorate, and the rental price will not be too high." Song Yuanhuan grabbed Song Chenguang's small body, looked at his son's crooked steps and wanted to drill into Xu Xiuxiu's body, and angrily brought the little guy back.
How could he not have found that his son was so lively and active, so sticky to Xu Xiuxiu.
Xu Xiuxiu saw Song Chenguang trying to step in her direction, and knew that the little guy wanted her to hug, "Chenguang is good, will my mother hug you after eating?" Xu Xiuxiu soothed the little guy's nose soothingly, and then turned her gaze to Song Yuanhuan, "Is what you just said true?" She thought that Song Yuanhuan didn't like her opening a restaurant, but why did he help her.
Is this to make her feel guilty about him with coldness and gentlemanliness?
"yes, really." Song Yuanhuan nodded, "I'll take him to wash first." Picking up Song Chenguang, he turned around and went straight to the bathroom.
Xu Xiuxiu looked up at Song Yuanhuan's figure as if she was running away, and the piece she was holding in her heart slowly softened, at this moment she vaguely felt that a small tree was sprouting in her heart, and the idea that it seemed good to be married to Song Yuanhuan was also fermenting wantonly in her heart.
At the end of dinner, Song Yuanhuan and Xu Xiuxiu stayed in the house in silence for a while, and when the hour clock was ten o'clock, Song Yuanhuan tidied up his military uniform and stood up, "I'll go to the collective dormitory to sleep, you close the doors and windows for a while, you can also call if you have anything at night, next door lives He Jingzhi and his wife, and they are very easy to get along with." Afraid that Xu Xiuxiu would not be used to taking her son in the house, Song Yuanhuan opened his mouth to explain when he left.
Xu Xiuxiu's heart bulged, "Why don't you stay and squeeze it!" Didn't you sleep well yesterday? Song Yuanhuan's forbearance made Xu Xiuxiu a little unbearable, she couldn't just because she occupied the original owner's body, and she couldn't act recklessly because of her subtle thoughts about Song Yuanhuan.
She and Song Yuanhuan are husband and wife, this is a fact that cannot be changed, she knows very well how difficult it is to divorce from a military marriage, if she doesn't want to ruin Song Yuanhuan's future, then she can only live with Song Yuanhuan.
"The bed is too small." Song Yuanhuan frowned and replied.
Although he is a soldier, he is not a fool, he can feel Xu Xiuxiu's resistance in the past two days, and he doesn't want to force her, even if he doesn't understand the reason why she resisted.
"Okay!" Xu Xiuxiu didn't say much, nodded and followed Song Yuanhuan to the door of the house, and closed the door only after Song Yuanhuan went downstairs.
Xu Xiuxiu didn't sleep well this night, she thought it might be because of the hard bed board under her.
The life of the army is very regular, Xu Xiuxiu was woken up by the wake-up call on time in the morning, and after holding Song Chenguang in bed for a while, Xu Xiuxiu got up and began to freshen up.
"Major Song's family, are you up?" Xu Xiuxiu sorted herself out and was about to wake up Song Chenguang when there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Yes, wait a minute." Xu Xiuxiu gave up the idea of calling Song Chenguang, turned around to open the door, and saw a simple woman standing outside the door of the house who was seven or eight years older than her, "Hello, may I ask who you are?" Xu Xiuxiu hasn't stayed in the house much in the past two days, so naturally she doesn't know who lives next door, but she just heard Song Yuanhuan mention a few words last night.
"I live in the room next door to you, He Jingzhi's daughter-in-law Ma Xiaohua, I just came to the army and joined the army not long ago, you can just call me sister-in-law." The people in the army seemed to have a hearty enthusiasm, "Last night, when your family went to sleep in the collective dormitory, you went to our house, saying that the collective dormitory was a bit far away, and he would take his subordinates to do something five kilometers in the morning, so he wouldn't bring you breakfast, let me call you when I eat in the morning, and take you to recognize the road by the way." Ma Xiaohua said, her eyes swept around Xu Xiuxiu's figure, and secretly said in her heart that this Major Song is really blessed, I heard that her daughter-in-law is also from the countryside, she thought that she was as good as herself, but she didn't think that people were as beautiful as people on TV.
"I'm sorry for you, sister-in-law, I'll take the lunch box and go to the cafeteria with you." Xu Xiuxiu smiled and turned around and walked into the house to get the lunch box, originally she wanted to take Song Chenguang with her, but seeing that the little guy was sleeping very deeply, Xu Xiuxiu didn't want to wake him up, so she gently moved him into the bed, and then followed Ma Xiaohua to the canteen to eat.
Ma Xiaohua has been in the army for three months, and she has seen a lot of military wives, all kinds of them, but it is the first time she has seen a military wife like Xu Xiuxiu who is wearing a long skirt and her face is as white as tender tofu, which makes her a little cautious about her.
"You've been visiting your relatives for a few days! What do you think? Still used to it? On the way to the cafeteria, Ma Xiaohua looked at Xu Xiuxiu beside her curiously and asked.
"It's quite habitual, and it's fun." The attraction of the troops, only those who know it in depth understand, this place has a charm that cannot be compared with other places.
