Chapter 045: This Is My Daughter-in-law
"Mom, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have messed with her and hurt you. ”
Xu Tian entered the door and heard crying coming from Du Yuefang's room.
"It's not your fault. It's all damn fate...... Who made your dad die early. ”
Du Yuefang couldn't hear crying in her voice, just blindly complaining.
The two of them must have something to do with yesterday's events. Xu Tian didn't bother them after thinking about it, and went to the stove by himself with the vegetables and meat he bought.
Sure enough, the mother and daughter didn't even have the heart to cook. She put down the dishes, rolled up her sleeves, scooped cold water and brushed the pot first, then got up the fire to wash the rice and put it in the pot, and cooked the rice first.
When the rice was cooked, she cut the meat and turnips, and fried them in the pot next to her. It doesn't have anything fancy to eat here, as long as it's affordable, so she didn't wash any other dishes, so she burned half a pot of radish and roasted meat.
When she put the lid on the pot and simmered, she chopped the rest of the meat again, and the sound of this 'dong dong' sounded for a while, and the people in the inner room heard it.
Du Yuefang and An Hao are here. An Hao's eyes were red, although Du Yuefang didn't cry, she also had sadness on her face. However, both of them hid their sadness and did not show it in front of Xu Tian.
"What are you...... Is this rice cooked? ”
Xu Tian lives here in addition to the rent and pays for food, and cooking is said to be Du Yuefang's job, so she smells the smell of meat now, and she is very embarrassed.
Xu Tian smiled indifferently: "I passed by the vegetable market, bought some by the way, and saw that you were talking, so I made it myself." There's still a little left, so I'll chop some stuffing and dumplings and send some to my husband. ”
"You're all married?"
An Hao shouted in surprise, Xu Tian nodded: "Yes." Otherwise, how could I have stayed with you? He was in the nearby military district. I want to be closer to him. ”
"Oh. That's right. It's so nice......"
An Hao showed an envious expression. Du Yuefang looked at the meat that had just started to be chopped on the board, and hurriedly said to An Hao: "Then don't be stunned, help quickly, now you can wrap it up and catch up with dinner." ”
After answering again and again, he turned around and went to find a face. The meals are all in the pot, and with the help of Du Yuefang and Anhao, the dumplings will be ready soon.
In order to save time, Xu Tian didn't eat with them, but packed the boiled dumplings in a thermos lunch box and went to the military region.
She just came yesterday, and the guards still remembered her, so they didn't let anyone come to collect it this time, and just let her register and let her go into the family area.
No matter how much time you hurry, it's still dark when you get here. went to Gu Changqing's dormitory, the dormitory door was locked, and he asked someone nearby, saying that he seemed to see him playing basketball in the playground.
She went to the playground with her lunch box in her arms. The sky was dark, but the playground was still bright because of the street lights.
Gu Changqing was tall and straight, and she recognized him in those identical military uniforms at a glance.
It just so happened that he grabbed the ball, dribbled, broke through, and made a layup, all in one go, his movements were sharp and crisp, very energetic, and he was like the steady appearance he usually had at home.
Xu Tian didn't want to disturb him, so he stood quietly on the runway with a lunch box and watched from afar.
From time to time, some people who walked behind her at night saw that she was not wearing a military uniform and her face was raw, and they couldn't help but look at her twice. She didn't care, her eyes only followed the person on the other side of the basketball hoop.
After standing like this for half an hour, the player took a halftime break, and Gu Changqing, who turned around to get water under the ball rack, found her.
No matter how bright the light was, it couldn't compare to daytime, and he couldn't see her face clearly, but he could recognize her figure.
After a moment's pause, he ran over.
"Why are you here?"
His tone was full of surprise, and his eyes immediately fell on the stainless steel lunch box, and Xu Tian took advantage of the situation to lift the lunch box up.
"I'll make some dumplings and bring them to you."
On a big night, send him a dumpling?
"When did you arrive? Why don't you call me? ”
His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, his sturdy forearms were exposed, and as he spoke, he reached out and took the lunch box in Xu Tian's hand.
This action shows that he has expectations for the contents of this lunch box, at least he doesn't hate it.
Xu Tian put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "I see that you are on the rise, so I didn't call you." Besides, at this point, you've probably already had dinner, exercise, and it's just right for a late-night snack when you're hungry. ”
Her face looked very bright at this time, and she didn't know if it was the light or the smile.
"Changqing, the ...... begins"
Under the ball rack, someone shouted. Gu Changqing looked back, then turned around again: "Wait for me, I'll bring the water cup." ”
"You can go back to the club, I'm leaving."
Xu Tian said. Gu Changqing's face sank slightly, and he didn't say anything else, just two words: "Wait for me." ”
He asked her to wait, and Xu Tian didn't say anything, so he just stood there, watching him go back with the lunch box and get the water cup back.
From a distance, Xu Tian saw that when he went back, someone approached, as if he wanted to grab his lunch box, but he slapped it away, and then a few eyes shot at her over there.
It was far away at night, so she didn't waste her expression, she just stood there generously.
After a while, Gu Changqing came back.
"It's getting dark, I'll send you back."
"No need. It's close. I rode the bike, and it took me more than ten minutes to arrive. ”
Xu Tian said busily. Gu Changqing's face darkened a few degrees at a visible speed: "It's not safe on the road." ”
said so, but in this way, it takes him more than half an hour to go back and forth, wouldn't it cause him trouble?
Xu Tian felt a little guilty, but he also knew that Gu Changqing's character was almost incomprehensible, so he didn't say anything more. The two of them walked all the way, and after a few steps, they met two people head-on.
"Xiao Gu, who is this girl?"
A well-dressed woman in her thirties and forties asked with a smile. Xu Tian didn't know who this person was, but the person standing next to her, Xu Tian couldn't be more familiar.
Su Yuan.
The two of them seem to have come for a walk.
"Sister-in-law, this is my daughter-in-law."
Gu Changqing glanced at Xu Tian and whispered, "This is Camp Commander Su's wife, called sister-in-law." ”
His generous admission made Xu Tian quite satisfied, and she also smiled sweetly at the other party, and shouted 'sister-in-law' crisply.
When the woman's surname Chen heard this, she showed a surprised expression, and then smiled again: "Yes, I heard that you have been married, and this daughter-in-law is really smart." ”
"My sister-in-law has won the award, and my sister-in-law has the temperament and looks good."
Xu Tian came casually, the woman's face bloomed with a smile, Gu Changqing glanced at Xu Tian and was slightly surprised, this is the stuffy gourd in his mother's mouth? Suddenly enlightened, so good at talking?
Su Yuan's gaze fell on Gu Changqing's face, but he only looked at the people around him. didn't look at her at all, let alone take the initiative to say hello.
She withdrew her gaze and stood silently.
After a few simple small talks, the four of them were wrong. After walking out a few steps, Sister-in-law Chen also looked back at Xu Tian and Gu Changqing.
"Xiao Gu's daughter-in-law also looks quite thoughtful, and her mouth is sweet. The two of them are a good match, but it's a pity that the girl in Master Xiang's family. Two days ago, the girl asked me about Xiao Gu, and I didn't know where she saw Xiao Gu, so she fell in love. I told her that Xiao Gu was already married, and she almost didn't cry at that time. Xiao Su, you say, if this Xiao Gu is not married, wouldn't it be appropriate to get together with that girl? ”
Sister-in-law Chen turned her face to look at Su Yuan, and Su Yuan chuckled in her heart.
"Master Xiang? Is it Xiang Yan, the pillar of the art troupe? ”
