After eating, the senior deputy battalion commander carried a hoe to the vegetable field behind to hoe grass and water it. After finishing his work, he carried a hoe around to the front yard and saw Huo An squatting in the yard washing clothes.

couldn't help frowning and stepped forward: "You have cooked, and your daughter-in-law is not going to wash your clothes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo An got up, still holding a white polka dot dress in his hand. If it's not Kou Xi's clothes, who can it be?

Huo An hung his clothes on the clothesline and carefully smoothed the corners of his clothes. Deputy Battalion Commander Gao's jaw dropped in surprise, and he pointed at Huo An and stammered: "You, you wash her clothes?"

"Two people, what is yours and mine. Whoever has the kung fu to do the work at home will do it!" Huo An disagreed, turned his head and did not forget to tease Deputy Battalion Commander Gao: "In the future, you will have to have some vision when you marry a daughter-in-law." The work at home is shared a little more, and the work of the old men is not tired! This is not much easier than our training, and it will be done in a while!"

"Hmph!" Deputy Battalion Commander Gao sneered: "Are you marrying a daughter-in-law or an ancestor? ”

"Where am I not like me?" Huo An raised his eyebrows, he didn't understand some of the recent thoughts of the senior deputy battalion commander: "How many years have you said you have been out? Why are you still thinking the same as in your hometown? What's the matter, the old man has to beat his wife every day and wait to eat ready-made?"

Huo An turned around and squatted in front of the laundry tub again, smearing some soap on Kou Xi's pants. His hands began to rub together vigorously, as if they were about to wash his pants.

"I really can't talk about you!" Deputy Battalion Commander Gao stood beside Huo An and shook his head repeatedly: "I didn't find out that you were a soft egg, bullied to death by your daughter-in-law." It's cooking and laundry, and I'm going to take the child to wash diapers in two days. ”

Huo An didn't say anything, but said lightly: "My mother-in-law disappeared when my daughter-in-law was a few years old. ”

Deputy Battalion Commander Gao didn't know what Huo An was doing when he suddenly said this, and raised his eyebrows casually: "What's the matter?

"When did I tell you that I still have a mother-in-law?" Huo An said angrily: "My father-in-law is afraid that he will bully her after marrying a stepmother." I haven't married a daughter-in-law for more than ten years, and I have always been alone. My daughter-in-law was brought up by her grandparents, and the family is very favored. ”

Deputy Battalion Commander Gao was stunned, touched his nose and sneered: "Didn't marry a daughter-in-law?

"You said that the pearl of someone's palm marries me, can I make her suffer and suffer?" Huo An stated his thoughts in a different way, but found that the senior deputy battalion commander didn't think about it at all.

"Is your father-in-law really not married?" Deputy Battalion Commander Gao put down his hoe, walked forward in a few steps and squatted beside Huo An with a look of disbelief: "He threw the child to his parents, and he didn't delay his own life?

Huo An shook his head: "He's not that kind of person, he just loves my daughter-in-law." ”

"I know..... Deputy Battalion Commander Gao looked at Huo An with a strange expression: "Are you a son-in-law?"

Huo An looked at his closest comrade-in-arms in shock: "What do you want?"

The senior deputy battalion commander quibbled: "Then why do you want such a girl, who will not marry for the rest of her life? Who will support you when you are old?" After speaking, he swore and patted Huo An's shoulder: "Is your father-in-law kind to you thief? I see that he has other intentions. ”

"It's normal to have any intentions, just such a daughter, it's normal to come to our house when she is old. Besides, the little money in my father-in-law's hand can go to any nephew's house. ”

"He's coaxing the two of you now, and he's going to have to give birth to two of you in the future. One has his surname, do you believe it or not?" Deputy Battalion Commander Gao patted Huo An on the back: "Brother, you must be right to believe me." This old boy must have come out like this, hmph, there are several like this in our village. People who are desperate are afraid of this, you know?"

He glanced at his room: "You see I gave birth to a son, and it doesn't matter if I get married or not." The key is that my old lady is not happy in her heart, and she always feels empty without a daughter-in-law. But your father-in-law is different, he doesn't have a son. ”

Huo An looked at Deputy Battalion Commander Gao suspiciously: "If he had this kind of thought, he would tell me in advance." There's no reason to wait until we're married, and my daughter-in-law has never revealed it. ”

"Hmph!" Deputy Battalion Commander Gao mocked Huo An with an unfathomable expression: "Beauty trick! Look at the bear you are letting your daughter-in-law coax now." Let me tell you, this little girl of your family is not ordinary. You wait, I'll definitely give you such a trick. Brother, don't blame me for not saying hello to you. Woman, you can't be so spoiled. You also do laundry and cooking, you can have a baby directly!"

After saying that, he shook his head and went back to the house to sleep, leaving Huo An, who was still washing clothes in the yard.

After drying the last piece of clothing, Huo An cleaned up the small yard. I entered the house and locked it, and walked in in the dark. saw Kou Xi sitting against the wall, stepped forward and pulled out the pillow next to her and put it on her back: "How cool it is against the wall!"

"I can't sleep!" Kou Xi muttered sullenly.

Huo An thought that she had heard what she had just said to Deputy Battalion Commander Gao, and hurriedly persuaded Kou Xi: "Brother Gao's words, don't take them seriously. ”

"No!" Kou Xi curled up, hugging his knees and was very annoyed: "Why did you say I wasn't pregnant!"

Halfway through eating just now, Kou Xi felt a burst of discomfort, and hurriedly returned to the house after eating hastily. When I took off my pants, my aunt came as promised.

Kou Xi sat in the room sulking, and Huo An walked in to see her change her clothes. When he put it in the basin and was about to take it out to wash, Kou Xi remembered the dirty pants and hurriedly stopped them. Huo An looked puzzled, and Kou Xi told the news that his menstrual period had arrived as scheduled.

Huo An didn't think about it as much as Kou Xi: "Don't worry, maybe it'll be next month." ”

Saying that, he poured hot water for Kou Xi and told her to scald her feet and rest early. Cleaned the dishes and chopsticks that everyone had eaten, and washed Kou Xi's clothes.

When I went back to the house, I saw Kou Xi looking stubborn, and I thought she was stubborn and cute.

"If it was so easy to conceive, then this earth wouldn't have been crowded and exploded!" Huo An reached out and turned on the light, and the dim light fell on Kou Xi's face.

Huo Xianzuo didn't see her red and swollen eyelids, and took out the truth from the basket on the windowsill. Sewed his frayed sleeves with his back to Kou Xi: "Brother Gao's child is so young, do you know why not?"
