The train arrived in Province D nine hours later, and Chaoying and Gu Weidong stayed in the provincial capital for another night before returning home.

The house that hasn't been inhabited for nearly a month is cold and cold. A layer of ash also fell on the ground on the kang.

"Shall we do a big cleaning first?" Chaoying discussed.

"I don't need you, I'll do it myself, you go to the bed and sit for a while, and I'll raise the stove first. After Gu Weidong finished speaking, he plugged in the electric mattress on the bed. So he started to work.

There was still a lot of firewood and coal at home, Gu Weidong added firewood to the stove, used paper to cause a fire, and finally added a spade of coal. Within a few minutes, the stove was on fire.

Unlike Chaoying's smoky fire every time, Gu Weidong's stove had no smoke or ash and the fire was very strong, and then Gu Weidong sat on the stove and boiled the water in an aluminum kettle.

Of course, Chaoying is also a person who can't be idle, and he praised his good craftsmanship while watching Gu Weidong's stove change. In the end, I couldn't sit still, so I picked up a broom and swept the ground.

After the water boiled, the two threw a rag to wipe the house, and it took more than an hour to find Lisuo.

At this time, the kang was already hot, and Chaoying, who had been tossing for two days, was already exhausted.

Seeing Chaoying's big dark circles, Gu Weidong hurriedly spread the futon on the bed on the kang and let Chaoying rest.

"You lie down for a while, I'll go back to the army to report first, and if it's okay, I'll come back in the evening and bring you food." After speaking, Gu Weidong strode away.

Looking at the new home, Chaoying's heart warmed. When the quilt was hot, he took off his cotton clothes and pants and got into the quilt.

When I woke up, it was already dark, and the fire in the furnace was burning. There was an iron lunch box by the stove, and when Chao Ying opened the lunch box, there was white rice and braised pork, and the rice was soaked with gravy, which made people feel appetizing.

Gu Weidong should have come back to deliver the meal and added coal and left, Chaoying moved the lunch box to the middle of the stove again, and added heat to the rice and meat, leaving a layer of oily pot at the bottom of the lunch box.

Chaoying, who was well-fed and drunk, brushed the lunch box and added a spade of coal to the stove, and filled the aluminum pot with water and put it on the stove. I wanted to watch TV and wait for Gu Weidong to come back, but there were very few TV programs to watch at this time, so Chaoying simply found a magazine and read it.

After looking at it for a while, I felt a little sleepy again. Chaoying will no longer struggle, after all, there is no mother-in-law here now, and she can do whatever she wants. So Chaoying slept without any scruples.

When Gu Weidong came home at ten o'clock in the evening, he saw that Chaoying was still asleep, so he slowed down. poured some boiling water into the basin, washed his feet, and saw that Chaoying had not woken up before he got into the bed. Chaoying was awakened by a sudden breath.

"Why did you come back, I slept twice. He yawned again.

"I haven't been here for more than a month, and there is a lot of work to be done in the regiment, so I have to get up early tomorrow. ”

"Then go to bed early. Wake up tomorrow morning and make something to eat for you. ”

The husband and wife chatted a few words, and they both fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Chaoying got up and fried the egg cakes he brought from home in the pot again, cooked millet porridge and eggs, and cut a plate of kimchi. And Chaoying got up for a while, Gu Weidong was not idle, sweeping the yard and chopping firewood. Finally, the tank was filled with water before resting.

"I'll go to the group in a while, if I'm busy at noon, I won't send you food, don't go hungry if you like to eat a little. Compared with Gu Weidong, who was straight at the beginning, it is easy for Gu Weidong to say what he cares about, which makes Chaoying have to admire Gu Weidong's changes in half a year, of course, these changes are gratifying.

In the morning, after Gu Weidong left, Chaoying divided the things he brought for his friends into small bags. went to Wang Min's house relatively close first, and Fu Yaya saw that Chaoying had brought several bags of things, so she couldn't wait to greet her.

"Auntie, I miss you all. The milky little voice was full of flattery.

"Where does that girl miss her aunt?" Chaoying teased Fu Yaya.

Fu Yaya held her stomach with her little hand and said sweetly: "I think about everything, and my belly wants to be deep." Fu Yaya, who has eaten Chaoying's delicious food for a few months, naturally has not forgotten that this aunt will give her delicious food, and said honestly at this time.

The children's words made Chaoying and Wang Min laugh, and in the end, Wang Min opened Chaoying and brought the bag to Fu Yaya and tore a small piece of pancake before sending the snack away.

Seeing Chaoying's eyes full of tenderness and love when she looked at Fu Yaya, Wang Min said to Chaoying: "If you like children, you should have one as soon as possible, I see that the head of your family Gu is not young, and you are young and your figure recovers quickly." Hearing Wang Min's suggestion, as well as the many urgings of relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, Chaoying couldn't help but move his mind. Chaoying chatted with Wang Min for a while, then said goodbye and left.

"Then I still have to go to Dong Juan's sister-in-law's house to deliver something, so I won't sit down for now, and we'll talk another day. ”

Wang Min sent Chaoying to the gate, and when he turned around and went back to the house, he found that Fu Yaya had already taken out a large pile of pancakes and was biting hard, and the angry Wang Min dragged Fu Yaya with a small slap on the buttocks.

Chaoying came to Dong Juan's house and happened to see the dispute between the mother and son.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"Chaoying is back, and I thought you would have to come back after this month. also said what's wrong, Li Xiaohu got into trouble and had a fight with the deputy head of the city, I asked him to apologize for not being able to live or die, and he was angry with me. ”

"Sister-in-law, children play together, it's inevitable to fight, don't be angry. Chaoying persuaded, turned his head and said to Li Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, tell your aunt why you don't want to apologize to the children? Chaoying said softly to Li Xiaohu, and slowly guided the child to explain the ins and outs of the future.

Chaoying didn't know the so-called deputy head of the regiment, and he didn't bother much, patiently waiting for Li Xiaohu to explain the ins and outs.

"It's Uncle Lu's city, his mother bought him a lot of toys, I like it too, so I borrowed it from him, he ignored me, and I had a fight with him. ”

"If he doesn't lend you toys, he won't unite the children, but it's even more wrong for you to hit someone, so why don't you want to apologize?" Chaoying asked patiently.

"Because...... Because...... I haven't hit him" as he spoke, Li Xiaohu scratched his little head with his little hands, looking cute and cute.

But I don't apologize if I haven't beaten it, it seems that Li Xiaohu's self-esteem is still very strong.

Chaoying turned his head to look at Dong Juan, Dong Juan also smiled helplessly: "Don't you know, there is a new deputy head in the regiment, surnamed Lu, called Lu Baichuan, during the time when the head of your family Gu went home, all the big and small work in the regiment was presided over by the head of the regiment." This is just the end of the year, the daughter-in-law of the head of the Lu regiment came to visit relatives with her children, and his small city is only three years old, but the children in this city are different and well-informed. You can also speak a foreign dialect. ”

At this time, Chaoying knew why Li Xiaohu was reluctant to apologize, it turned out that he had never beaten a three-year-old child who was too faceless.
