The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs

In the late autumn evening in the seaside town, the unexpectedly encountered flaming clouds spread to the sky like golden marshmallows and fell into the sparkling sea.

The military hospital is not far from the office building, and it only takes ten to eight minutes to walk there.

Su Xiaoxiao put down Xiaodoubao and let him go for a walk.

Su Xiaoxiao took Xiaodoubao's hand, and it was almost half past five when he slowly arrived at the army hospital.

Hancheng gets off work at 5:30, and usually organizes materials or holds a small meeting. The normal time to arrive home is around 6:00. Before the two big cubs go to school in the afternoon, Su Xiaoxiao explained that they would go home directly after school. The meeting should also be at home.

"Cub, let's wait here for Dad, shall we?"

Xiaodoubao nodded obediently: "Okay~~~"

Su Xiaoxiao bent down and took three toffees from Xiaodoubao's little chicken bag, one for each of the cubs and one in the palm of his hand.

The little cub squinted and his cheeks were bulging, like a cute little hamster, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help pinching lightly.

Chen Aimin didn't expect to see Su Xiaoxiao and Xiaodoubao at the entrance of the hospital. come out."

White shirt, black trousers, a pair of small leather shoes, and a high ponytail, just like a college student who has just entered the school gate, and it is far from the hard and simple appearance at the beginning.

Seeing Dr. Chen's funny appearance, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help curling his lips, and asked him, "Dr. Chen has not seen you for a long time. Are you back from the countryside? Is Hancheng finished?"

Chen Aimin nodded: "It's been a few days since I came back, and it's almost time for Director Han to come out. Do you want to go in and find him, or should I go in and call for you?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook his head: "No, no, I'll just wait here for a while."

She just wanted to give Han Cheng a surprise, where is there any surprise to inform in advance?

Chen Aimin glanced at his watch: "He should come out in ten or eight minutes at most. Since you came, he has been pinching him to go home. We all laugh at him for being tied to his stomach by you."

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "He just took the paperwork home to do it, and he was often busy until midnight."

Chen Aimin nodded: "Who said no, there are a lot of reports to write after an operation, how can he be so busy if he doesn't take it home? What delicious food is my sister-in-law going to do today? Will you do a little more? I have a small appetite, so I just eat a little bit..."

Han Cheng didn't know when he stood behind him and knocked on his head with the document in his hand: "Eat your canteen, don't keep thinking about eating my family's meals, my daughter-in-law doesn't have time to cook for so many people."

Chen Aimin rubbed his head to hide: "I'm joking, I know my sister-in-law is busy, and the propaganda board at the east gate of the military area is my sister-in-law's masterpiece. It's spread all over, and everyone who has seen it gives a thumbs up and says yes, my sister-in-law is really amazing. , people are good-looking, and their paintings are as good-looking as people..."

Han Cheng bent down and picked up his younger son, holding Su Xiaoxiao's hand: "Don't listen to his nonsense, let's go home."

Chen Aimin looked at the warm family of three in front of him. To be honest, he was very envious. When will he be able to marry a daughter-in-law like Su Xiaoxiao?

A little nurse with a round face appeared out of nowhere. She jumped up and slapped Chen Aimin's arm heavily, her voice still very loud: "Doctor Chen, is that pretty **** just now Director Han's lover? She is very beautiful. what."

Chen Aimin was taken aback by her loud voice, and looked at the rude little girl and patted her chest: "You want to laugh and scare me to death, don't you? Ren Xiaoxiao is not only beautiful, but also very gentle, can you stop being so rude and follow along? People study?"

The round-faced nurse's eyes are also round. She stared like this, her eyes were bigger and rounder, and she pointed to the tip of her nose: "I just have a loud voice, where am I rude?"

Chen Aimin was afraid of her: "Yes, yes, you are just loud, I don't have time to tell you, no matter how late the cafeteria's good dishes will be lit up."

"Dr. Chen, do you want to eat in the cafeteria? I'm going back to the dormitory to cook, do you want me to invite you to eat?" The little nurse was probably a little careless. She was said to be rude just now. She has to invite others to dinner after such a short time. .

"You know how to cook?" Dr. Chen looked at her up and down, the little girl just arrived, she was white and tender and a little round, like a big city person who was spoiled by her family, he shook his head, "You don't look at it. Like someone who can go into the kitchen."

The little nurse shouted again in a loud voice: "Look at me, my father is the chef of a state-run hotel. I have eaten more good things than you have ever seen!"

Hearing this, Dr. Chen widened his eyes and took a good look at it again: "I'll just say that you are a circle better than others, so you grew up eating food in state-run restaurants? Then you will definitely cook a lot of delicious food. ,I go!"

The little nurse's face froze: "How did you talk?"

Dr. Chen waved his hand: "No, no, I'm not cursing, I mean go to your dormitory for dinner, can I bring food stamps? But are there other people in your dormitory? Will it not be good for just the two of us? "

The little nurse thought that there were still people at home, and it was really not good, so she said, "Then I will go to your dormitory to do it?"

Dr. Chen: "…"

This is a lonely man and a widow, and the men and women are not married. In the end, Dr. Chen couldn't eat the food made by the little nurse, and he honestly ate in his cafeteria.

Han Cheng was walking, and Su Xiaoxiao shoved something in his mouth, but Han Cheng didn't respond: "What?"

Su Xiaoxiao hadn't spoken yet, Xiaodoubao bared his teeth and let Han Cheng see: "Tang, Xiaodoubao, Ma Ma, Baba~~~"

The taste of the big white rabbit toffee invaded the taste buds. Han Cheng understood it. Everyone eats candy together. Sharing good things with the whole family is Su Xiaoxiao's educational philosophy. back of hand.

The bicycle shed was at the entrance of the hospital. Han Cheng asked Su Xiaoxiao to sit down and put Xiaodoubao on her lap: "Xiaodoubao hug Mommy tightly, or it will fall off after a bump."

Xiaodoubao nodded, and his two little hands tugged at his mother's clothes.

Su Xiaoxiao hugged Xiaodoubao tightly with one hand and Han Cheng's waist with the other: "step on slowly."

Han Cheng pedaled, and the bicycle slowly moved forward.

The wind in the evening was still a little cold, and Su Xiaoxiao thought that before winter, she still had to knit a scarf for Hancheng. It would still be cold to ride a bicycle every day, and she had to buy a pair of gloves.

After leaving the camp, there was no one on the road. Su Xiaoxiao put her head on Han Cheng's back and rubbed it: "Han Cheng, I had a conflict with the propaganda department and the propaganda team today."

"What's the matter? Are you unhappy at work?" Han Cheng asked.

Su Xiaoxiao told Hancheng what happened in the afternoon, and finally looked at the beautiful fiery clouds in the sky, which turned from red to orange, and said with a bit of frustration: "I know that hard work and unconditional obedience to the organization's arrangements are the characteristics of our era. I know they are all right, but I don’t seem to be able to adapt to Hancheng. It’s not that I’m afraid of being tired, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to take care of Xiaodoubao and our family. I seem to have overestimated my ability and underestimated the variable of people, I can't find a balance point, that feeling is really bad."

Su Xiaoxiao's undergraduate major was advertising design, and the graduate student changed other majors. When she was in Sujia Village, Su Xiaoxiao's frustration was that she couldn't pick up her shoulders or lift her hands, and she was useless in the countryside. It is a problem. In such a big environment, you can only get out of that shackles through marriage.

She doesn't have so many grand ambitions. She only hopes that when knowledge changes her destiny, she can fulfill her college dream for the original owner and do her best to make her loved ones feel better.

After coming here with Han Cheng, she is very satisfied with the life here. The publicity team can finally let her play to her strengths in a sense, but the cubs in the family are not supported by the elderly, so there is only so much time and energy, one trades off one another. , there is always a choice, how to balance work and life should be a big problem for all working mothers without the help of the elderly, and it is also a big problem for Su Xiaoxiao right now.

Han Cheng parked the car aside, no one was around, he wrapped his daughter-in-law and son in his arms, and kissed the daughter-in-law's head: "Don't be under pressure, just take charge of the design when you take over this job, and the rest You don't have to worry about it, it's okay, I'll talk to the organization, I need a sage help me to take care of the rear and let me concentrate on research and development. It is the worst situation for both sides to rush to the front and rear to form a mess, and the organization will understand."

It is understandable that unmarried comrades are motivated, and married comrades have someone to take care of their families and rush to the front. It is also understandable that it is difficult for women comrades like Su Xiaoxiao who have to bring their children to work. In fact, the organization will take special care to arrange some relaxed positions. The propaganda team didn't know what was going on this time.

After talking with Han Cheng, Su Xiaoxiao felt much more relaxed. The road to life is long, and it is really difficult to reach the end without a partner who understands him.

When we got home at exactly six o'clock, the small rice ball and the small pillars divided the labor and cooperated.

Seeing the adults come back, they all put down their work and ran over.

"Mom and dad, why are you so late today? Can I go dig some earthworms with the pillars?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, you can eat soon, and you have to be back in half an hour."

The small rice ball asked Xiaodoubao: "Are you going to Xiaodoubao?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Xiaodoubao is very good today, and I have walked a long way with my mother, let him rest at home for a while."

Xiao Zhuzi asked Han Cheng, "Uncle Han, did anyone live in the yard where I used to live?"

This Han Cheng really didn't know, he shook his head: "Sorry, uncle doesn't know."

Xiaozhuzi added: "Aunt Su likes to eat leeks, we can also make leeks dumplings. I heard from my grandma that you can dig out the leeks and replant them. I want to go back and dig some leeks and plant them again?"

Su Xiaoxiao touched Xiaozhuzi's head, the child became more and more calm, and his appearance became more and more protruding. Su Xiaoxiao really regarded him as a son, and did not hurt him in vain.

"Yes, it doesn't matter if someone lives in it, you should ask their opinions first, it should be fine." Su said with a smile.

The rice ball said: "Then we can't dig earthworms when we go digging for leek heads. Huahua hasn't laid eggs for so many days, is there not enough earthworms to eat?"

The two big cubs dug a lot of earthworms at a time, and they kept them in a bamboo tube for two or three days and went to dig again.

Zhuzi said: "I have fed enough, and it should lay eggs soon. I remember that my grandmother used to raise that little hen to eat earthworms for three or five days before laying eggs."

The rice ball was dubious: "Well, then let's go dig leeks."

The two big cubs went out, and the little cub took out the "jigsaw puzzle" that Han Cheng made for him from the small schoolbag and put it together on the small bench in the kitchen.

Han Cheng went to the storage room to get some noodles and came back in a short time, and he had already spelled out the pyramid.

Han Cheng felt that his IQ had been crushed, and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "It seems that I have to make some complicated puzzles for him."

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at it: "Aren't you going to the capital for a business trip in a few days? When you see it, buy a few more educational toys suitable for children aged three to six."

Han Cheng looked at the little one who was less than two years old and couldn't say enough: "An educational toy for three to six years old?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "It's a toy that is good for brain development. Do you think our son's IQ is like a year or two? You buy a rag doll car, and he will throw it aside for you to play for two days."

It's a pity that Lego was not available until the 1980s, and it will be everywhere after 2,000 years. Otherwise, this little guy can already make simple Lego, and he doesn't know what educational toys can be bought at this time.

Han Cheng thought about it for a while and guessed that the toys he made by himself were more reliable.

Therefore, for a long time after that, Han Cheng and Xiaodoubao battled wits and courage, Han Cheng racked his brains every day to invent new toys for Xiaodoubao, and Xiaodoubao easily "cracked" his toys.

Of course, this is a later story.

Dinner is crucian carp tofu soup, and Su Xiaoxiao can instruct him to wash the pot or cook it in a large iron pot at home.

Fry the crucian carp on both sides until golden brown, put a pot of boiling water, a few slices of ginger, cover with high heat for a few minutes, wait for the crucian carp soup to thicken and white, take out the crucian carp and put it on a plate, then put the tofu down and cook for a few minutes, then dig another one Wash the bean sprouts and throw them away, cook for a few more minutes, add a little salt and pepper, and the soup is done.

The dried noodles in Hancheng have also been cooked and distributed into large bowls. Su Xiaoxiao poured the crucian carp tofu soup on top, and a bowl of fresh and delicious fish soup noodles came out of the oven.

Sprinkle a little chopped green onion on top of the crucian carp, pour a little peanut oil and soy sauce, and it's another healthy dinner with meat and vegetables.

Su Xiaoxiao added some vinegar to her bowl of noodles, which looked particularly appetizing.

The cubs who went out on the mission also came back, each holding a big lump of mud, with only the head of chives left on it.

The two cubs put the leek heads in the vegetable field, patted the soil off their bodies, and washed their hands. They had already smelled the fragrance of the rice, and they were going to plant leeks after dinner.

The intelligence officer Xiao Fan Tuan reported the situation immediately: "Mom, someone lives in the yard where Zhu Zi was originally."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "It's normal, then have you thanked the uncles and aunts who lived in? Let's eat first."

The little rice ball shook his head: "Thank you, but it's not an uncle or aunt, it's two sisters and a grandma."

Today's meal is half an hour late, and the small rice ball and Xiao Zhuzi are already too hungry. After a sip of the noodles, the small rice ball dances with joy: "Wow, it's delicious!"

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Two sisters and a grandma?"

The little rice ball nodded: "Beautiful sister with a round face, grandma is also very good, and gave me and Xiaozhuzi a candy each."

The little rice ball took out the sugar and handed it to Xiaodoubao: "Brother, here it is."

Xiaozhuzi also took out his own candy: "Xiaodoubao, brother's will also give you."

Su Xiaoxiao asked Han Cheng: "Isn't there a special dormitory for singles in the army? Can even unmarried people be allocated a house, and can family members also accompany the army?"

She remembered that Dr. Chen lived in the single dormitory in Tongzilou.

Today's dinner is very suitable for Hancheng's appetite, and after a while, he has already eaten half a bowl of noodles: "The house is empty and empty, and there are special circumstances to apply, I guess there is only one old lady left in the family, so just Apply together."

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it too, the troops are quite humane.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the "sugar" that the brothers gave to Xiaodoubao. It was actually not candy, but preserved fruit: "Hancheng, is this something from the Eight Pieces of Beijing?"

Han Cheng glanced at it and asked Su Xiaoxiao, "You still know this?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, I not only know, I have eaten a lot in my last life, but she can only say: "I met my classmates in the dormitory when I was in high school."

Su Xiaoxiao is not an uninformed woman, Han Cheng is not surprised.

"It seems that he came from the capital again." Han Cheng said.

Su Xiaoxiao: "That's not necessarily, maybe it's just coming back from a business trip in the capital? By the way, when you go to the capital on a business trip, bring a box for the cubs."

Han Cheng nodded: "Okay."
