"Little Huo is a nice person. He hasn't stopped since he entered the house. He fetched me water and chopped firewood for me."
Only then did Shen Anan see that the water tank against the wall was full, and the firewood was also piled full.
"Mom, he is your son-in-law. He is doing this for you. That is not what he should be doing."
"Don't say that in the future. There is nothing we should or shouldn't do when a couple lives together.
If people are kind to you, you should be kind to them twice as much. Anyone who pays hopes to see something in return, even if there is a response.
If there is no reward, if a person gives too much, his heart will be cold and it will be difficult to warm up again. "
"And this home is not just one person's home. You two live together, so both of your hearts are aligned and you both contribute to this home.
This place will become your refuge from wind and rain, and you will have a sense of belonging here. Otherwise, who would be willing to go back to a cold home. "
I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I heard my mother say such words.
"Mom, you know so much."
"How do I know so much?
This is what your dad said. Your dad said that two people together, a man and a woman, are originally two completely different people. If they want to live together, they must have many differences.
Living together is not about hoping that one will tolerate the other, nor that anyone will accommodate the other. It is more about two people getting along and adapting to each other.
You may have different ways of doing something, but you need to discuss it with each other and work hard for one thing at the same time, so that you can understand each other's intentions.
If you always hide away and do nothing, the family will naturally be boring.
You see, although your father is a doctor in the hospital, he often runs back to the village during the autumn and summer harvests. Help my mother do the work in the fields.
And your father, although the hospital is very busy, he only needs to finish his work every day.
No matter how late it is, I always ride a bicycle home, even though it takes more than an hour to ride a bicycle from the county to our village.
But we have been married for so many years, and it has always been rain or shine.
I always feel at ease, knowing that your father is thinking about our family. "
Shen Anan leaned on her mother's shoulder. When she mentioned her father, she actually admired him in her heart as a successful man.
In her mind, her father was a role model, a mountain, and a shining sun that illuminated her and her mother's lives.
But I didn't expect that my father was still such a philosophical person.
Huo Chengan finished sweeping and entered the room, and Shen Anan handed him a towel.
"The room is relatively narrow and low. You can't even straighten your back. Wash your face first. After washing, you can eat."
Shen Anan's attitude made Huo Chengan feel warm.
“It’s okay, I’ll let you follow me, I’ll suffer here.
Next year, we will build brick dormitories here, and I will definitely want one by then. "
When Huo Chengcheng'an said this, he felt a little guilty.
This time they could actually live in a brick house, but the dormitory in the brick house was given to other comrades because of their own style.
"It's neither bitter nor painful. What are you afraid of? In this life, there are only blessings that you can't enjoy, but there are no hardships that you can't endure."
Before Shen Anan opened her mouth, my mother, Zhang Xiuying, had already finished everything.
Huo Chengan also looked guilty towards his mother-in-law, knowing that her mother-in-law came with her, which was Shen Anan's request at that time.
But asking the mother-in-law to bid farewell to her brick house and live in a underground house was indeed a dereliction of duty as a son-in-law.
"Okay, okay, don't say anything, my big buns have just come out of the pan, they are hot and delicious.
An'an asked you to pound the garlic paste, bring it over quickly. "
Shen Anan added vinegar and chili oil to the minced garlic.
Put it on the edge of the stove.
I can’t help but the table and chairs haven’t come back yet.
Zhang Xiuying resolutely handed over a big bowl.
There are three big buns in the bowl. The buns made by Zhang Xiuying are indeed big buns. They are completely different from the small steamed buns in the future. Each bun is as big as eight palms.
It can never be said to be small, delicate or cute.
Full of arrogance.
However, in this day and age, people have no water in their stomachs and are suffering from malnutrition for many years, so they eat a lot.
Huo Chengan took the big bowl, looked at the three steamed buns, then looked at Zhang Xiuying and Shen Anan, all consciously holding their own bowls.
Then he sat on two bricks at the base of the wall, feeling annoyed that he had forgotten all these things.
Look at this house, the two of them have tidied it up themselves.
He only thought about asking Shen An'an to join the army, but he completely forgot about the subsequent arrangements. He completely forgot about it as soon as he got out of the mission.
"Mom, I will go back to the army soon and ask them to buy wood. Don't worry, I will find someone to make the tables for you in the next few days."
Originally, he was a grown man and should have been settled, but who knew that his wife and mother-in-law would suffer even more when they came.
"No, no, we have already found it. Carpenter Jin has promised to do it for us. It will be ready in the next few days."
As soon as Zhang Xiuying finished refusing, she heard a voice coming from outside.
"Doctor Shen, Doctor Shen, your furniture is ready. I'll find someone to carry it over. Do you think it's convenient for you to carry it in now?"
Ever since Jin Carpenter knew that Shen An'an helped Li Zhaodi, he admired Dr. Shen from the bottom of his heart. Dr. Shen was not only good at medical skills, but also had a noble character.
It was because slow work produced fine work, and he had to make things well without embarrassing himself, so it took him so long. Otherwise, he could usually finish the furniture for others in about half a month.
When Zhang Xiuying heard this, the three people quickly put the bowls aside.
Huo Chengan went out to help. Jin Carpenter blushed even more when he saw the battalion commander.
"The battalion commander is back."
Several neighbors outside helped carry all the packed furniture into the house.
When Shen Anan saw the furniture, excitement flashed in her eyes.
I have to admit, this piece of furniture is so pleasing to the eye.
Although I just briefly described the furniture based on the furniture I had seen in later generations, I didn't expect that Jin Carpenter's craftsmanship was so good.
I typed out all the furniture according to my simple drawings, and they didn't paint them.
On the contrary, it is all polished by hand, and there is not even a wooden thorn on all the wood surfaces.
What's more important is that Carpenter Jin didn't know where he found the wood. The wood still exudes a faint fragrance.
There is absolutely no pollution, no paint, no harmful gases.
Just the scent of natural wood.
And the things they make are absolutely superb.
Shen Anan was a little excited, the furniture at home was finally complete.
After setting things up, Zhang Xiuying invited everyone to come in and eat steamed buns.
But Jin Carpenter waved his hand hurriedly and led everyone to leave.
Battalion Commander Huo just came back today and finally reunited his family, so it would be inappropriate for them to be here.
