Chapter 199: Rumored to be pregnant
Zhao Yunshu was not surprised.
My father-in-law is in the army and holds a high position.
"Xiaobei, you're so handsome. You have a childhood sweetheart in the compound. You must have one in this family compound, right?"
This sentence made Huo Shaobei jump.
"I don't know that either."
At least in the staff quarters, no girl had stopped him to express her feelings directly, and at most the aunts would tease him.
But he never took it to heart.
"I'll write down the steps for cooking fish for you, and then I'll be busy."
Half of the morning has passed.
After giving him the steps to cook the fish, Zhao Yunshu closed the door and got busy.
Huo Shaobei sorted out the fish.
I sent a fish to Uncle Liu's house, who lives across the street.
"Xiaobei, I heard that you are getting married. When are you going to have a dinner party?" Auntie pulled Huo Shaobei aside and asked.
My eldest daughter is married, and neither of my two sons has made any move.
Political Commissar Liu's wife is in charge of these military wives.
"There's no rush for that. I'll definitely treat Auntie to some wedding candy when the time comes."
Huo Shaobei quickly found an excuse and left.
Otherwise, you will be dragged into endless discussions.
"I really don't know what Old Liu was thinking. He told me not to disturb Xiaobei's wife and said that the new daughter-in-law is shy? No matter how shy she is, she can't even meet her?" The aunt complained, picked up the fish and went to deal with it with a smile on her face.
Although the research has not been completed yet and there is no need to sign a confidentiality agreement for the time being, Political Commissar Liu has been a soldier for decades and knows what to say and what not to say.
He said that to his wife because he was afraid that she would come over and talk to him for a long time.
Xiaobei's wife has work to do.
In the past, they were colleagues at work, and after get off work, one of them lived across from the other and often drank and ate together.
But last night, Political Commissar Liu did not come to the Huo family, and even told his wife not to go there.
At noon, both Mr. and Mrs. Huo came back for lunch.
Huo Shaobei still made lunch.
Follow the fish-making steps written by Zhao Yunshu, step by step.
"fish?"
"Yeah, they're fishing by breaking ice."
There was a river not far from their troops, and Mr. Huo knew this.
"Call Nini out for dinner."
Mr. Huo usually eats in the army canteen, while Mrs. Huo sometimes eats in the canteen and sometimes goes home to cook.
"Nini, come out for dinner."
The door was quickly opened from the inside.
“Dad, Mom…”
"Wow, that smells good. Is it spicy fish with pickled cabbage?"
"Yes, spicy fish, I cooked it."
Afraid that Zhao Yunshu would keep adding more rice, she simply used the bowl that Huo's mother usually used to hold soup and scooped a large bowl of rice for Zhao Yunshu.
Father Huo glanced at the bowl. He had eaten several meals with his daughter-in-law here and knew how much she ate.
"Wow, marinating the fish with wine can make the fishy smell less strong. The sourness of the pickled cabbage and the spiciness of the chili peppers make the fish really delicious and tender."
Well, thanks to this daughter-in-law, she can always praise any dish.
"Xiaobei, the fish you cooked for the first time was so delicious. You are really talented and amazing. You are this." After saying that, he gave Huo Shaobei a thumbs up.
The latter smiled.
"Eat slowly. This silver carp has few bones, but it still has some."
"This pickled cabbage is really delicious."
Mother Huo and Father Huo looked at each other again, then lowered their heads to pick up some food.
They are more reserved. In this era, many people express themselves in a more reserved way.
Not as straightforward as Zhao Yunshu.
"delicious."
"Yeah, it's delicious."
Huo Shaobei was very satisfied with the success of his first attempt at cooking fish.
"I followed the steps you wrote step by step."
"That's because Xiaobei has a strong understanding ability and talent, Mom, don't you think?"
Mother Huo nodded and said, "Nini is right, Xiaobei is very talented."
I understand why Xiaobei is so active in doing housework and never complains at all.
She just likes to hear her daughter-in-law praise the food she cooks.
"By the way, Mom, I heard from Xiaobei that you made millet porridge this morning. It was really good. You added wolfberries, jujubes, and brown sugar to it for me. It was very sweet. I like it very much. Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
Mother Huo said with a smile, "Millet porridge nourishes the body. Adding wolfberries and jujubes can replenish qi and blood. Don't be too busy too late. We can take our time with work."
"Mom, I've heard Xiaobei mention you many times, saying you're a good doctor..."
Father Huo glanced at his daughter-in-law who made his wife very happy, and then looked at his son Huo Shaobei.
It turns out that daughters are the most caring and considerate.
But he didn't have such a fate.
There were only three brats who pissed him off.
The meal was still very heartwarming.
"Nini, you're from the south and like to eat rice. I've asked the guards to buy you a lot of rice."
There are still differences between the north and the south in this era.
People in the north prefer to eat noodles.
Of course, people in the south prefer to eat rice.
"Thank you, Dad. Xiaobei also said that Dad is not careful, but I think Dad is quite careful."
Mr. Huo really didn't know what to say at first.
"Just tell me if you need anything."
"Thank you dad!"
After eating, Mr. Huo didn't stay long and went back to the office.
"Old Huo, what are you having for lunch? I heard your Xiaobei took Nini out to fish through the ice."
Political Commissar Liu still knew what happened in the army.
"Eat fish, Xiaobei made it."
Political Commissar Liu was surprised. "After going to the countryside, Xiaobei also learned to cook?"
This is really fast learning.
It is true that the environment changes a person.
"Old Liu, is there a difference between having a daughter and a son?"
Political Commissar Liu looked at him in confusion, wondering why he suddenly asked such a question.
However, when he saw Mr. Huo mention this matter, he started talking about it.
"Even after my daughter got married, she still came to visit us during the holidays and showed concern for us. But my two sons, how could they care about me? They barely even see me."
Political Commissar Liu's sons also joined the army.
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
Mr. Huo didn't say much.
This daughter and son are really different.
Why didn’t you give birth to a daughter?
Nini is also good.
Praising someone can make them blush, like his stupid son.
After he grew up, I have never seen him blush!
But I saw it yesterday and I saw it today.
Haven’t these two been married for almost half a year?
Why do you blush easily when you are praised?
"Something's wrong?"
Father Huo coughed lightly and said, "It's time to allocate the R&D expenses."
It's time to get to work on this.
Zhao Yunshu stayed at home for three days, while Huo Shaobei often went out and occasionally went to the army supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things.
The aunts in the family compound were very curious.
Why doesn’t Xiaobei’s wife go out?
Just stay at home?
Does Xiaobei often go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things?
Could it be that Xiaobei’s wife is pregnant?
