Concubine Tao told Yu Guang a few more words, looking at Yu Guang's absent-minded appearance, knowing that this kid had the right idea in his heart, for fear that he wouldn't be able to think about what had happened, so she went to the head of the cooking squad and asked him to take a good look at Yu Guang, and don't let Yu Guang ask for leave to go out recently.

She shouldn't have been in charge of these things, but she couldn't help but say more.

When they came out of the cooking class, they passed by the vegetable garden of the brigade and went to pick two eggplants and a few tomatoes, and some soldiers enthusiastically ran to deliver a plastic bag.

Concubine Tao was not polite, picked some peppers and beans, and went back with a bag full of vegetables.

There is no vegetable garden in the family courtyard, so the summer vegetables are basically picked by the nearest company, and the vegetables of each company are planted very sufficiently, and they don't care how many people eat, and it is also convenient for the military families who accompany the army. After all, the prices in this place are not low, but the wages are much lower than those in the mainland, and the policy of the regiment is also to allow the family members to save a little as much as possible.

Concubine Tao carried the vegetables upstairs, and He Yun was sitting at the dining table peeling onions and garlic.

"Hey, what are you doing with so much garlic?" Concubine Tao asked, looking at the hill-like garlic on the table.

He Yun said with a smile: "After dinner for a while, I will go to the vegetable field to pick some red peppers and make you some garlic-flavored chili sauce, I have nothing to do in the past two days, I will make you some pickles, and when there are no fresh vegetables to eat in winter, this bibimbap can also be eaten." ”

Concubine Tao was a little moved to sit opposite He Yun in the past, He Yun and her mother Lu Min are completely two types of mothers, He Yun is more homely and warmer, and has a more motherly taste.

And Lu Min is a very strong and independent woman, but she rarely does housework, and most of the time she takes her around to enjoy, and her mother says that life is to be enjoyed.

Both are very good mothers and give her two different warm feelings.

Seeing Concubine Tao's expression, He Yun said with a smile: "You young people now, few of you can do this, and it is estimated that you will do even less in the future." ”

Concubine Tao grinned: "Then you teach me, and I can do it myself when you go back." ”

He Yun also agreed: "These are very simple, and it doesn't hurt to learn more." She thinks that the most important thing for a woman is to take care of her family and take care of her husband and children.

Concubine Tao stretched out her hand to help He Yun peel garlic.

"I don't know when Cangnan will come back? Have you heard? He Yun always felt unsteady in her heart, she used to not see her son all year round, so even if she was on a mission, she didn't feel anything. This time, I watched I leave, but I didn't come back at the end of the day, and I felt very unstable in my heart.

Concubine Tao shook her head: "No, Mom, don't worry, it is estimated that this mission is more difficult than expected, anyway, no news is the best news, it is estimated that I should be back soon." ”

He Yun nodded: "That's the best, you should hurry up and have a child when you go back." In this way, when he goes out and has concerns, he will not be so desperate. ”

Concubine Tao lowered her head and picked the garlic skin, but she didn't have the final say in this matter.

He Yun is urging marriage when he catches Zhou Cangbei at this time, and he is urging birth when he catches Concubine Tao, and the division of labor is clear and impartial.

"It's better to have a child early, and we can have boys and girls in our family, but now we only have one, and one child is too lonely. If your eldest brother can get married this year, you and your sister-in-law will have children together, and your father and I will be idle when we look back, and it will be okay to look at the two children at once. ”

Concubine Tao just smiled, she really didn't know what to say, for such a chat, a beautiful smile is always right.

He Yun saw that Concubine Tao had no disgust, and said more energetically: "By the way, your sister Tao Jing gave birth to a girl in the autumn, and her mother-in-law didn't seem to like it very much, I heard that her mother-in-law heard that it was a girl in the hospital, so she turned around and left." Really, what a person. Even if you give birth to a girl, it's not their family's species? ”

Concubine Tao hadn't seen this titular sister, but she knew that she was married, and it seemed that she was not far away, but she didn't go back to her parents' house much, because her mother-in-law's family didn't let her.

Now I know that I just gave birth to a child, and I only know that He Yun said this to relax her heart and let her understand that the Zhou family doesn't care about boys and girls.

At this time, family planning has been implemented for more than ten years, and the thinking of many people in the city has long changed, and there are also people in the countryside who secretly give birth to a second child, and some places are not as strict as in previous years.

There are not a few people like Tao Jing's mother-in-law, who never blame their son's seed for not being good, but only blindly blame the land of marrying a daughter-in-law, so if they can't give birth to a son, they blame their daughter-in-law! There are also people who go to small clinics to do fetal sex tests, and if it is a girl, the labor is induced.

He Yun put down the garlic in her hand and said very, very gossipy: "I heard that when your sister was in confinement, her mother-in-law forced her lover to divorce her." ”

Concubine Tao didn't know at all, the expression on her face was a little embarrassed, this is her "relative", isn't it bad that she's too cold?

He Yun didn't think much about it, because Concubine Tao and Tao Jing had not had a good relationship, and when Concubine Tao and Zhou Cangnan got married, Tao Jing didn't come, as if she was afraid of paying for money.

Therefore, He Yun felt that Concubine Tao probably had no opinion on Tao Jing because of these trivial things.

However, these are all the rights and wrongs of other people's families for Concubine Tao, and she only has some sympathy for Tao Jing in her heart, the status of women in this society is always very low, even if she can go out to work, she has played a big banner, saying that women can hold up half the sky.

In fact, on the contrary, women seem to pay more, to work, to have children, to take care of the elderly and children, and to be the best at work.

On the other hand, men are much more idle, all the efforts are a seed, and the rest of the time is still no different from a bachelor, and this social form will not change much in another twenty years.

Concubine Tao sighed in her heart, women, what are you painting for the rest of your life?!

He Yun didn't say any more, cleaned up the garlic skin on the table, and used a small basin to soak the peeled garlic cloves in the kitchen, planning to start chopping the chili sauce in a while.

He Yun thought about it and came out of the kitchen again: "Can you find some canned food bottles, when the time comes, I will chop them up and put them in the canned bottles, make them salty and seal them, and it is estimated that they can be put in winter." ”

Concubine Tao didn't understand, so she thought about where Zhang Liping should have: "I'll go to the small shop to have a look after a while, and if I have one, I'll take a few more and come back." ”

He Yunyou muttered: "You should buy a refrigerator and live at home, you can't pour all the leftover meals, if you don't have money, I'll buy one for you when you go back." ”

Concubine Tao grinned and said very unceremoniously: "Thank you, Mom, I really don't have any money." ”

He Yun was suddenly very happy in her heart, indicating that her son did not hand over the family's financial power to Concubine Tao, so she was also very happy to let her buy a refrigerator now.
