Chapter 273 Dad is handsome
Although the house isn't fully furnished yet, and there are still many things to buy, it looks rather empty.
But because there are many people in the house, it doesn't feel deserted at all; on the contrary, it's very lively.
Qin Yunzhou even bought a few bottles of soda, which made his two children very happy, since no child dislikes sweet things.
In those days of scarcity, the couple's income and family conditions were actually quite good, but they didn't live a life where they could eat meat regularly.
Today's meal consisted mostly of meat and refined grains, comparable to a holiday.
Even though Old Mrs. Qin has lived in Beijing for many years and has gotten used to life there, she doesn't lack meat.
But seeing meat and fine grains on the table, she couldn't help but feel her eyes light up and swallow hard, having experienced the Great Famine before.
However, the old lady did not forget that this was all thanks to Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou.
"Come on, let's eat! We've finally reunited, so we have to have a good meal tonight!"
First, she added a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs to each of the two children's bowls, then she added a piece of meat to Qin Yunzhou and Xu Sui's bowls, and finally she added their favorite dishes to Du Mei's and her own bowls.
Xu Sui smiled and then placed a large piece of fatty meat on Grandma Qin's plate. "Thank you, Grandma."
People in this era prefer fatty meat because it's oily, while many people don't like lean meat.
At the dinner table, most people usually scramble to eat the fatty meat.
Sure enough, the old lady saw the big piece of fatty meat in the bowl, and her eyes almost closed with laughter.
"No need to thank me, we're all family, please don't be shy and eat."
She doesn't like anything else, but she loves this dish, especially stir-fried green peppers with fatty pork. One bite is more satisfying than anything else.
After the meal, everyone was stuffed, their mouths were greasy, and their bellies were bulging.
The two children, in particular, had round, bulging bellies, bright, sparkling eyes, and were smacking their lips, licking their chopsticks, and then gulping down their unfinished sodas.
The food today was delicious!
Normally, it's considered good if there's even one meat dish at home, but today the table was mostly filled with meat dishes.
There's also sweet soda.
Most importantly, they saw their father.
Thinking of this, the two children drank their soda while secretly glancing at Qin Yunzhou.
Dad is tall and handsome, and he looks quite good standing next to Mom.
Qin Yunzhou was a former soldier; how could he not have noticed the two children secretly watching him?
He didn't confront the two children, but instead let them peek without making a sound.
These are his and Xu Sui's children, all of them are adorable, especially his daughter, who looks a lot like Xu Sui. In particular, when his daughter blinks and looks at him, he sometimes thinks it is Xu Sui looking at him.
In fact, he receives photos from Beijing every year, showing the growth and changes of his two children, but seeing them in photos and seeing them in real life are two different things.
When he saw the two children today, his heart inevitably softened, and he couldn't help but hug them tightly.
Three years ago, when he went to Beijing to see the mother and her two children.
The two children couldn't speak or call him "Dad" yet. In the days before he left, he taught them many times, just so that he could hear them call him "Dad" before he left.
Unexpectedly, more than three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now they can all call him "Dad" and even secretly look at him.
After finishing the meal, I started washing up.
Qin Yunzhou had already brought over the big pot they bought five years ago, along with all the other pots, pans, and dishes.
Whether it's cooking, boiling water, or fetching water, it's all done in the large communal kitchen in the middle of the corridor, where there are communal water pipes available.
After finishing her meal, Du Mei began to skillfully clear away the dishes, but it was her first time here, and she was unfamiliar with the surroundings and Qin Yunzhou as well.
So he subconsciously looked at Xu Sui and asked, "Sister-in-law, where are you washing the dishes?"
Xu Sui got up and helped clear the dishes. "There's a sink for washing dishes in the communal kitchen in the middle of the corridor."
Qin Yunzhou also came over to help, saying, "You've been on the train for so many days, you should all rest. I can handle this."
Xu Sui thought for a moment and said to Du Mei, "Xiao Mei, you go and rest. Your cousin and I will take care of the tidying up."
Du Mei felt a little embarrassed, after all, she was there to work, not to be a guest. "Sister-in-law, let me do it, you all go and rest."
"It's alright, go ahead." Xu Sui smiled and pushed the person into the house.
After everyone left.
Qin Yunzhou originally wanted Xu Sui to go and rest, but Xu Sui didn't go. Instead, the two of them carried a large basin of dirty bowls and chopsticks to the public kitchen to wash and clean up.
On the way, I met many neighbors, which attracted a lot of stares. I've seen wives washing dishes before, but I've never seen a wife and husband washing dishes together. It's really rare to see this in a residential compound.
However, they had only just moved in, and many people were unaware of their identities and did not greet them rashly.
When they arrived at the communal kitchen, the two had just put the dishes and chopsticks into the sink to start washing them.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Xu Sui, you're back?"
Xu Sui looked up and saw that the person in front of her looked familiar. She thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered.
"Yang Yun?"
Back when she was in the performing arts troupe, during the worst of the Great Famine, she once traded grain for someone to teach her to dance.
The person who taught her to dance was Yang Yun.
They weren't exactly close, but they knew each other.
If the other party is now appearing in the family compound, then eight or nine out of ten of them have married into this family.
"Yes, it's me. I never thought I'd see you again." Yang Yun looked at Xu Sui, then at the refined and handsome Qin Yunzhou beside Xu Sui, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
So many years have passed, but Xu Sui is still as beautiful as ever, and even looks more beautiful and elegant than before.
Intellectuals who have received education and are knowledgeable exude an air of scholarly refinement.
Someone who didn't know better would think he was a college student.
Previously, Political Commissar Qin was seriously injured and was able to return to his hometown to recuperate. Xu Sui directly proposed to leave the art troupe, and the other women in the art troupe all felt sorry for Xu Sui.
Having finally climbed such a high branch, I never expected it to suddenly break, and to fall so miserably into the mud.
Everyone is laughing at Xu Sui. She successfully slept with the man, but he was ruined. It was all for nothing. In the end, she gained nothing and even had to suffer with him.
Unexpectedly, the man she married not only didn't fall on hard times, but actually became even more promising than before.
In fact, in recent years, everyone in the military knows that Qin Zheng is young and promising with a bright future, and some people have even had those kinds of thoughts about him.
Unfortunately, they already had partners, so no matter how much they tried to seduce them, it wouldn't work out.
Xu Sui smiled, pursing her lips. "You live here too?"
"Yes, I got married. It's quite a coincidence that we live on the same floor. My family lives in the apartment on the far right. If you have time, you can come over for a visit."
