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?”

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' family's dilapidated house is bigger than this small house.

Lin s.h.i.+heng 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 didn't listen to his comforting words at all and walked around the room with red eyes.

When s.h.i.+heng 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. s.h.i.+heng is an officer, the room is much larger than other people's 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 hards.h.i.+ps.

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 sighs with emotion: “Xuezhu, you were wronged. It's 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 headed toward the chickens she had brought.

“s.h.i.+heng, 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 can't see blood when you're 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 s.h.i.+heng 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 embarra.s.sed: “I didn't help with anything after I came to the base…”

“What do you mean ‘didn't help'?”

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

He Xuezhu's 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 s.h.i.+heng 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 embarra.s.sed 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 s.h.i.+heng 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?  I'll do it.”

Li Chunhua didn't hold back. She chose one that looked more energetic. “Those ones. You kill the chickens and Mom will stew it for you. You'll have to send me to the guest house much later.”

She didn't 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 can't live in the courtyard.

Moreover, such a small room only had one bed. If she stays here, she wouldn't be able to squeeze in.

After listening to the mother's words, the man in the military uniform was squatting down, and slit a hen's throat. “Mom, I can't accompany you tomorrow. I just received a notice before I picked you up. I have to stay in the army base for another day tomorrow. ”

“It's all right. I'll just take Xuezhu with me.”

Li Chunhua was a bit frustrated but soon adjusted.

She was going to tell her daughter-in-law not to get intimate with her son during pregnancy but Li Chunhua was in a trance thinking ‘the son can't bear children' and ‘fortunately, he left a single seedling before he became infertile' and they left in a hurry. When the two had left, she found that she forgot to tell them.

Saying such a thing isn't that easy, even in a letter. She would have to wait until tomorrow to talk to Xuezhu in person.

The chickens were killed quickly. The mother and son plucked their feathers together. Neither of them wanted to ask He Xuezhu in the room to help them. They plucked them up cleanly together.

The courtyard is so large, and they all live together. The movement here was also seen by a few people.

Miao Xing opens her door to pours out some water; looks at the mothers and child duo who were working hard on the opposite side. Her eyes flashed.

She didn't expect that He Xuezhu was such an unfilial person. On such a cold day, her mother-in-law was killing chickens outside, and even her husband came to help. But she, as a daughter-in-law, couldn't even come out of the house.

But that's good.

The more unfilial He Xuezhu is, the easier for her to slip in between the two.

It's just an old woman from the countryside. Aren't they easy to please?
