Chapter 84 Steamed Bun Slices
Qin Yunzhou was slightly taken aback, reflected on himself for a moment, and nodded softly.
"it is good."
"You too, don't be too polite with me. If there's anything you need, just say it like you just said."
Although their beginning was just a mistake, they are now unexpectedly pregnant.
Regardless of whether the child's arrival was what they wanted, since they chose to accept it, they should try to adapt to this marital relationship.
The most important things between husband and wife are communication and mutual support. It's better to lay things out and talk them through.
Xu Sui smiled and said, "Okay."
As the night passed, dawn broke.
Only the two of them remained in the Qin family. The rest of the Qin family members either went to work or went to the hospital to take care of Qin Min, who had been knocked unconscious the night before.
No, Xiao Fen, who made a scene all night, is still at home; she's still sleeping in her room.
Xu Sui didn't know at first that there were other people in that room.
It was because the house wasn't soundproof that I could hear the sounds of someone turning over inside, which told me that Xiao Fen, who always gets up early, hadn't gotten up today.
Xu Sui didn't take it to heart. After finishing breakfast, she went back to her room to prepare for the exam.
There are only a few days left until the textile factory exam. I finished the textile factory exam this morning, and I have the grain station exam this afternoon.
Whether you take one exam or two, it's still an exam, and there's no conflict in terms of time.
Xu Sui plans to try them all.
The way she prepared for exams in this era was quite different. She had never been exposed to it before, so she naturally had to put in more effort.
They had just returned to their room.
Xu Sui pushed open the door and looked up to see a man straightening his collar, as if he was about to leave at any moment.
His leg recovered quickly, and with the help of crutches, he could walk around freely, though not for very long.
These days, Qin Yunzhou hasn't been staying at home all the time; he goes out for walks from time to time.
Are you going out?
Qin Yunzhou picked up a military green satchel, put some money and tickets inside, and said, "I'm going out for a bit."
"He should be back this afternoon."
Xu Sui was somewhat surprised, "So long?"
It was only a little before 10 a.m., and she remembered that he usually went out for a walk, at most wandering around this area, and would be back in less than an hour.
Qin Yunzhou explained, "I'm going to the hospital to check my leg, see my older brother, and then go to the post office."
His legs need regular checkups.
Especially during the recovery period, at least once a month.
Speaking of which, he should have gone to the hospital for a check-up last night, but when he found out that Xu Sui was really pregnant, he didn't think of it for a moment.
Xu Sui paused for a moment, then quickly remembered the matter. "I'll go with you."
After all, he has difficulty walking.
"No need, I can manage on my own. You can focus on your studies at home." Qin Yunzhou wasn't one to overexert himself; he had a clear understanding of his physical condition.
Xu Sui was still a little worried, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll find someone to go with you."
"If anything happens, I can lend a hand."
So she called over Li Ergouzi, who usually idled away his time in the tenement.
Of course, Er Gouzi is not his formal name, but his nickname. These days, people believe that a humble name is easier to raise a child with.
He is two years younger than Xu Sui. They both grew up in the same compound and were somewhat acquainted.
"Alright, don't worry, Sister Sui Sui. With me protecting my brother-in-law, nothing will happen. I'll bring him back exactly the way I brought him out."
When Er Gouzi learned that there was a reward of three cents, his eyes lit up and he immediately patted his chest to guarantee it.
Qin Yunzhou did not refuse Xu Sui's arrangement; he did need someone to help him carry some things.
"We're going out."
Xu Sui nodded. "Okay, be careful on the road."
Not long after this person went out...
Xiao Fen, who had slept for a long time, slowly got out of bed, changed into a clean set of clothes without patches, combed her two braids neatly, and put on a pair of clean cloth shoes.
I even rummaged through my mother-in-law Tianhua's house and found a jar of snow cream that hadn't been used much. I scooped out a large piece and applied it to my face and hands, making myself smell nice.
Xu Sui closed the door and studied inside the room, basically ignoring Xiao Fen and not knowing what she was doing.
Until I smelled the aroma of steamed buns and fried food.
She gradually realized that something was wrong.
Before I could even open the door and go out to look...
Then, the sound of Aunt Zhang from next door gasping for breath could be heard from outside.
"Xiao Fen, is your family ever going to live like this? It's only the middle of the month, and you've already used up all the oil in the house. You can't possibly be eating boiled vegetables by the end of the month, can you?"
"Oh my, what are you steaming in this pot? It smells like steamed buns to me. Did you also ruin the little bit of white flour that my mother-in-law bought this month?"
Xiao Fen stood in front of the Qin family's stove, sleeves rolled up, busy steaming buns and frying bread slices, occasionally taking a bite herself.
Without looking up, she smiled and said, "What are you saying, Auntie? Oil and flour are for people to eat, aren't they?"
"What's the point of leaving it there all this time? It's our property, so please don't worry about it, Auntie."
After those two sentences, Aunt Zhang shook her head and sighed repeatedly. She went back into her room, slammed the door shut, and said nothing more.
She's gone mad! The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family has gone mad!
This person wasn't like this before.
Xu Sui came out of the house, just about to see Zhang Da Niang being shut down by Xiao Fen's words.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" She walked up to the stove and took a look.
The last half bottle of oil in the house was poured into the pot, and a few slices of steamed bun were fried in the oil until they sizzled, turning golden and crispy.
The entire courtyard was filled with the aroma of fried mantou slices, and several of the neighbor's children couldn't help but run over and stare longingly at them.
Xiao Fen treated Xu Sui much better than she treated Aunt Zhang. She even took two pieces of fried bread from the pot, put them in a bowl, and handed them to Xu Sui.
"Get something to eat. Here, second sister-in-law, you have some too. This stuff is really delicious. Look, all those kids are drawn over by the aroma."
Xu Sui: "..."
I must say, it really does smell delicious.
However, she remembered that Xiao Fen was not like this before. She was more frugal than anyone else and couldn't bear to waste oil.
Seeing that Xu Sui hesitated to take it, Xiao Fen thought that she thought it was too little, so she lifted the lid of the steamer, took out a big white steamed bun that was bigger than a fist and was steaming hot, and handed it over.
"We only have this much flour at home, and everything we make is here."
"Perfect, half for each of us. Sister-in-law, you're pregnant, eat more to give the baby some nutrition."
Xu Sui took the food, placed it on the stove without eating it, and calmly asked, "I'm not angry."
"Sister-in-law, there's still half a month until the end of the month. This little bit of oil will probably only last for a few days."
"What will you eat at home for the remaining ten days or so?"
These days, people don't dare to use too much oil when stir-frying. They usually just dab some oil on the side of the pan with a cotton ball, add some water, and then put the vegetables in. That's considered stir-frying with oil.
