Chapter 30: The Call of the Distance
"Husband, you are so awesome! You can hear such a small sound! Your ears are so powerful!" Su Qiaoqiao looked at Li Minghui with a little admiration. She still felt incredible. "That child is so young, you can actually hear the sound of crying? No wonder I got up in the middle of the night and saw you in another bedroom. Husband, did I wake you up by snoring at night? Thank you so much, I have to tolerate me every day..."
Li Minghui blushed a little, but he couldn't find any other reason to convince his wife. Looking at his wife with a little red circle, Li Minghui said seriously with a shy face: "Where do you want to go? I've been used to your snoring sounds. I can't sleep without such a little sound. Don't think about it. Today is an accident. I originally wanted to kindly remind the parents of the child, who knew that I could meet a human trafficker."
Su Qiaoqiao still didn't believe it. She decided that her husband would be the only one who would be the only one who would be the only one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be rushing up to kiss Li Minghui and his wife. The car was driving very quickly. Li Minghui's hometown has been well built in the past two years. The road is very flat. He set off at around 5 o'clock in the morning. By 7 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Minghui and Su Qiaoqiao had already driven to the door. Li Minghui's parents lived in the second floor of the unit building divided by Li's father's unit. Li's mother was cooking in the balcony kitchen. Seeing her son and daughter-in-law getting out of the car with many things, she quickly asked Li's father to go down to pick up the person. She also wiped her hands on the apron and carefully observed her daughter-in-law's belly on the balcony.
"Come back when you come back. Why buy so many things? Isn't it a waste of money?" Li's father went downstairs to see his son picking things down from the car, and quickly walked up to pick them up. When Su Qiaoqiao saw her father-in-law coming downstairs to pick them up, she immediately called her well-behaved father and father. Now she is so fond of Li Minghui, a dog-eared husband. By the way, her husband is still a dog-nosed nose.
The big bags and small bags were handed back and forth twice. Su Qiaoqiao proudly showed off her benefits for the New Year to her mother-in-law, saying that all the food was given by the unit. Li's mother was also very happy. She saw that Su Qiaoqiao seemed to have been rounded twice and asked Su Qiaoqiao. Su Qiaoqiao said to her mother-in-law a little embarrassedly: "Mom, you don't know, we are not both of us. A doctor said, "Oh, our posture is wrong, let's work harder when we go home. Isn't the New Year coming soon? We are going to work harder after the New Year..."
Li's mother looked at her sudden realization and said to her daughter-in-law quietly: "Oh, don't worry. We had been pregnant with Minghui for two years back then. Hi, what are you worried about? Quickly, change your clothes quickly, then, the house where you got married is still empty. If you want to go there, go there. If you don't want to go there, just live here, and you can live here."
Su Qiaoqiao's face turned red, and she asked her to discuss interesting things in her boudoir with her mother-in-law. It was indeed a bit embarrassing, but when she saw the eager expression on her mother-in-law's face, she didn't know what was going on, she told the truth as soon as she came out. Maybe Su Qiaoqiao also liked Li Minghui's parents very much.
Su Qiaoqiao did not consider the different climates in the south and north when she bought them. When she bought them, she bought them in winter clothes and spring and autumn clothes. After tidying them up for a long time, Su Qiaoqiao was a little depressed and found that there were only two of them that could be worn seriously now. However, she was not discouraged and patted her chest and said that she would accompany her mother-in-law to the streets before the New Year and bought a piece of alpaca velvet for her mother-in-law.
Li's mother cooked eight dishes and set up a table full of food. The family of four gathered around the table for dinner, discussing how to celebrate the New Year. "Let's go to my third aunt's house. It seems that it's not easy for her family to have dinner. We have to put down our things and go back." Li Minghui bit the chopsticks' head and said to his parents.
"Well, your second sister and the others came to our house on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. Now you have already started a family. Although you don't have children yet, you have to give the New Year's money you should give. So, I'll give you some new money. We don't have that much attention here. Just fifty-one hundred means." Li's father took a sip, ate a piece of oil, and spoke.
Su Qiaoqiao didn't eat much at noon, so she was a little hungry. She usually cooked a mess by herself, and she could improve it occasionally. She could eat such delicious dishes by getting off the car. She had no time to interrupt. Li's mother looked at her daughter-in-law eating vegetables with a little distress. She said to Li Minghui with dissatisfaction: "You usually buy some food, how much money can you save on it? If you don't know how to cook, don't sting it on it for buying a house. Your father and I didn't spend much money. You want to change the house and tell your mother."
Su Qiaoqiao swallowed a piece of meat, smacked her lips and said, "Oh, Mom, where do you want to go? Minghui is going to go on a business trip in the United States during the Chinese New Year. You don't know that now foreigners have learned to stuff money when they ask us to do things. When Minghui comes back, we can change houses. We can't save money when eating. I just can't learn how to cook. Mom, you must teach me how to make dumplings this time, but I won't go back if I don't learn this time."
Li's mother nodded, picked up a piece of roasted chicken wings for Su Qiaoqiao, and said with a smile: "Dumplings are not simple. I learned them in two days. I have also read the ham you brought back. Eat less in the future. It is not good for your health. It is simple to make it. It just steams everything. It seems that you are a meat lover. If you don't say anything else in our family during the Chinese New Year, you don't have to order food at the restaurant. You will be frying croquettes and lean meat at home tomorrow. You can watch it and fry a little by yourself if you want to eat it in the future."
Su Qiaoqiao nodded with saliva. She was impressed by the fried balls made by her mother-in-law. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They tasted endless aftertaste. They were much better than the lion heads in the south. Su Qiaoqiao could hold a bowl and eat a bowl. She kicked Li Minghui under the table and gave Li Minghui a wink to drink with her father-in-law there. Li Minghui immediately sat upright and said, "Well, Dad, I discussed with Qiaoqiao. In the future, we will come back every other year. Next year we will go back to Qiaoqiao's house for the New Year. We asked me to tell you that after you retire, you will move to me. Anyway, I can change a big house next year and I can live in. We don't know how to cook. It just so happened that my mother cooks for us and can help take care of her if she has children."
Father Li smiled and said, "What I discussed with your mother is that you should go home and celebrate the New Year by staggering your baby. This is the only daughter on the in-laws. Let's talk about it when I retire. Your baby is too humid. We probably will be back after living there for half a year. Don't worry about the children. I and my in-laws are on the phone and we have discussed it. Let the first child be with them first. You are both only children, and you should not be fined for a second child. Now that the conditions are good, it is safe for both families to take care of two children."
Su Qiaoqiao's face turned red. She immediately thought that it was her unreasonable mother who called to fight for the custody of her grandson. She said embarrassedly: "Dad, how can I say that if I am fined or not? The eldest sister of our unit has too many children. Minghui and I are going to have children next year. I will probably have to ask you to come and watch me when the time comes. Mom, does it hurt to have a baby?"
Li's mother likes this a little confused daughter-in-law very much. She knew in her heart that although her daughter-in-law was confused about small matters, she was not vague at all. Looking at Su Qiaoqiao's somewhat nervous expression, Li's mother smiled and said, "Don't just think about it all day long. This is a natural thing. When she gets pregnant, she calls her mother. I'm retired and cook for you every day."
After nearly an hour of dinner, Su Qiaoqiao packed up the dishes and accompanied her mother-in-law to wash dishes in the kitchen. Although Li's mother kept asking her to go back to watch TV, she still felt that she should show off her well. The new daughter-in-law came to the house in the first year, which was too casual and irregular, and too reserved, making her look unfamiliar. Su Qiaoqiao worked hard in the workplace for so many years, and her eyes were enough. In addition, she also liked Li Minghui's parents very much, and she looked generous when getting along, looking like a good daughter-in-law and a good daughter-in-law. The distance was far away, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was easier to get along with. Su Qiaoqiao never thought about whether there would be any conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future. Seeing her mother-in-law looking very easy to talk to, Su Qiaoqiao seemed to see her husband and thought to herself: "No wonder people say that their son is like mother. I must have a son in the future!"
After watching TV for a while, Li Minghui and Su Qiaoqiao drove home from all over the place. They were also very tired. After washing up, they entered Li Minghui's bedroom. Li's father and mother also rested early. Lying on the bed, Su Qiaoqiao leaned against Li Minghui's chest and whispered: "Minghui, what should I do? I didn't want to go back as soon as I came. It's so worry-free at home. Otherwise, let's take your parents over and change the house to be empty. I feel uncomfortable if I think about it."
Li Minghui smiled and said, "My mother probably has no problem. My father is a stubborn man, my grandma is still here, and my father is the eldest in the family, so it is impossible to travel far. Don't worry, it's okay to bring your parents here at that time."
Su Qiaoqiao pouted and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Oh, you don't know the person of my mother, and she doesn't want to go far. My parents have not retired. Oh, I'd better learn to cook with your mother. Minghui, do you think I don't have the talent to cook, why can't I always make that taste?"
Li Minghui pinched Su Qiaoqiao's butt and said, "How long have you been cooking for half a year? Haha, my mother has been cooking for a lifetime, and she has become a chef even if she is not a chef. How could she say that her wife becomes a mother-in-law? Don't worry, I think the food you cook is delicious, don't I eat it all every time?"
Su Qiaoqiao chuckled, twisted Li Minghui and whispered: "You are just a bucket of rice. Every time you eat, you eat so much, and you don't have enough to cook. I really don't know where all the meals you have eaten?"
Li Minghui smiled and said, "Where do you know where the food I have gone? A drop of semen and a hundred drops of blood, a bowl of rice and a drop of blood, where did you think all the food I have gone?" As he said, his hands began to become irregular. Su Qiaoqiao felt weak all over her body and said a little embarrassedly: "Don't be so rude, I'm so tired today, don't do anything Indian 64 art, Oh~ slow down~ be careful that your mother heard it~~~"
The two of them had a screw-type rotating and stacking style and finally finished it in a mutated jellyfish style. They lay back on the quilt with sweat all over. Su Qiaoqiao said gasping: "It's over, it's over, our mother must have heard it. It's all your fault. The mutated jellyfish style, this bed is too old, it's creaking and creaking non-stop~~"
Li Minghui hugged Su Qiaoqiao and whispered: "I heard it. Maybe they are still happy. What era is it? Go to bed quickly, Qiaoer, and you will have to fry meatballs tomorrow."
Su Qiaoqiao mumbled a few words and gradually fell asleep. Although Li Minghui was also very tired, he was just a little tired and not very sleepy. He hugged his soft wife in his arms. Li Minghui was a little confused: "What the hell is it? What's calling me? It started as soon as I entered the house. I'm like this and haven't diverted my attention yet. Who is going to get into trouble?" The seeds of mental power in Li Minghui's spiritual space shook and shook, as if they could sense a call from afar. A very mysterious feeling kept affecting Li Minghui.
Li Minghui felt this way as soon as he entered the house. It was not very strong at the beginning, but now it is getting stronger and stronger. Li Minghui and Su Qiaoqiao handed over some public food and were preparing to use this kind of love/event to divert attention, but this feeling was still getting stronger. Li Minghui shook his head gently and thought to himself: "No matter what, if you can't sleep, you can't sleep. I'll just wait like this and see what will happen~"
