Chapter 17

On this side, Li Chunhua followed her son and daughter-in-law to the house where they lived. When she pushed the door open, her eyes immediately turned red.

Why is it so small?

For Li Chunhua, who grew up in a village thought that the house can be broken, but it must not be small. This time, when she built a new house, she built a big courtyard in it.

Even He Xuezhus familys dilapidated house is bigger than this small house.

Lin Shiheng is putting down the things he is carrying, and answers with a smile: Mom, this is a house given by the army. How can it be as big as ours?

It would be too big and inconvenient for just me and Xuezhu to live in.

Li Chunhua didnt listen to his comforting words at all and walked around the room with red eyes.

When Shiheng wrote back home, he only said that the army had arranged accommodation and everything was fine. She was aggrieved that her son and daughter-in-law had left her to live happily. But when she arrived, she found out that it was they who had to live in this narrow room, and let her; the mother, live in the big new family house.

She looked up again, He Xuezhu saw tears in her eyes, hurriedly handed her some tissue paper. Mom, this room is really not small. Shiheng is an officer, the room is much larger than other peoples rooms.

Li Chunhua looked at her daughter-in-law. She was gentle in appearance and had some worries in her expression. But her eyes showed that she did not feel like she suffered any hardships.

He Xuezhu really felt no injustice for living in such a small house with her son.

How can there be such a nice and considerate daughter-in-law?

She grabbed the hand of the person in front of her, her eyes red and she sigh with emotion: Xuezhu, you were wronged. Its getting late today, when tomorrow comes, mom will take you to buy clothes!

He Xuezhu looked confused.

What sort of grievance has she suffered?

Just before she could ask clearly, Li Chunhua had already valiantly head toward the chickens she had brought.

Shiheng, get the knife!

He Xuezhu knew at a glance that she was going to kill a chicken and hurriedly rolled up her sleeves to help.

Xuezhu, you sit down. You cant see blood when youre pregnant. Mom will do it!

Ahh, this child is pregnant and still wants to do things. She is much more sensible than those stupid daughters-in-law in the village. How could she not take good care of such a good daughter-in-law?

Seeing that the old lady had rubbed her hands and went out, Lin Shiheng took a kitchen knife and smiled at his puzzled wife and said, Mom is distressed that you came with me to the army base with such a big belly.

He Xuezhu suddenly felt embarrassed: I didnt help with anything after I came to the base

What do you mean didnt help?

Every time I go out on a mission, my heart settles down thinking I have you waiting for me at home.

He Xuezhus face turned a little red and gave her husband a gentle push: Ok, hurry up and go out, Mom is still waiting.

After the two got along day and night, she realized that Shiheng liked to say romantic words so solemnly. As a child who had lived in an environment where even people holding hands would be pointed at, she had been embarrassed and unable to answer those kinds of words from the beginning. She was shy but at the same time; unable to stop the sweetness in her heart.

Lin Shiheng smiled, stretched out his hand and touched her head. With a kitchen knife, he went out to Li Chunhua, who was bending over to look at the hens that had been tied together by the legs.

Mom, which one do you want? Ill do it.

Li Chunhua didnt hold back. She chose one that looked more energetic. Those ones. You kill the chickens and Mom will stew it for you. Youll have to send me to the guest house much later.nove(l)bi(n.)com

She didnt intend to live in the base. Before when her son first joined the army, Li Chunhua understood the rules of the army clearly. Soldiers can only be accompanied by military spouses or their children. She has never heard of a mother who could live with their child on the base. Similarly, of course, she cant live in the courtyard.

Moreover, such a small room only had one bed. If she stays here, she wouldnt be able to squeeze in.

Lin Shiheng smiled helplessly. Xuezhu has new clothes. A while ago, she had a big belly and couldnt wear the previous clothes. I just bought them for her.

So what if you just bought some? Xuezhu is so young, she should wear more beautiful clothes. Li Chunhua didnt take his sentence seriously at all. Not only is the room small, but even the wardrobe is so small, so small that it can only hold several clothes.

Listen to Mom.

Lin Shiheng turned to look at his wife and said Did you hear that? Mom also advocates buying new clothes for you. Next time I take you to the mall, dont say no to everything.

Mom, then Ill go. Remember, buy some for yourself.

Li Chunhua felt relieved and waved: I know. Hurry up.

Her son is so filial!

She turns around happily, holding her daughter-in-laws arm in a good mood: Xuezhu, lets go.

Today Mom will buy you some good ones

Just then, the opposite room suddenly opened. Miao Xing, who was dressed beautifully and had light makeup on her face, came out and waved: Xuezhu!

He Xuezhu turned doubtfully and looked at Miao Xing coming up while grinning. She then smiled and looked at Li Chunhua: Is this is Commander Lins mother? How are you, Aunty? My name is Miao Xing and I live in the opposite room.

She is beautifully dressed, with a kind smile and a natural and graceful attitude, which is arguably enough to make any village woman have a certain amount of goodwill.

However, Li Chunhua has not forgotten the person she saw last time and doubted that this woman had something wrong in the head.

She subconsciously felt anxious and pulled her daughter-in-law closer to her. She also smiled, Hello.

Lets talk another time. Im taking Xuezhu to the mall to buy clothes.

The surprise on Miao Xings face suddenly deepened: I was just about to go too, how about we go together?

Li Chunhua eyebrows trembled slightly. She turned to look at her daughter-in-law, but her face was also full of incomprehension. Clearly, she was not familiar with this Miao Xing.

She went shopping with her daughter-in-law to have a private conversation. Three is a crowd!

Miao Xing should not see the old ladys unwillingness in front of her, but she calculated clearly that women from rural areas like this had low self-esteem.

Even if they arent happy about it, they will definitely be too embarrassed to refuse her.

Sure enough, Li Chunhua hesitated for a few seconds, but still said: Thats okay, then we

Pausing, she suddenly started to say, Whats the red stuff on your mouth?

Oh, its lipstick.

Miao Xing smiled very tenderly: This is cosmetics. Auntie, if you like, Ill buy one for you at the mall later.

She came closer, but Li Chunhua took a big step back, pulling her daughter-in-law.

Her son said that cosmetics are harmful to children in pregnant womens stomachs!

No, I cant. I suddenly remembered some personal matters, so we cant go together.

Well, Miao Yue, you should go shopping by yourself. Its unfortunate Xu Xuezhu, come on, hurry up and follow your mother!

Li Chunhua pulled her daughter-in-law to retreat quickly, looking like she had to escape.

Miao Xing stood in the same place, with a stiff smile on her face.

Her name is Miao Xing!
