Chapter 72 : Two Babies

In the family compound, Su Ranran was still immersed in sleep.

In the dream, two white and tender little balls were walking toward her with their hands open. While walking, they were calling for their mother in baby voices.

Su Ranran felt so touched that her heart melted. She looked at one, then the other, but she didn’t know which one to hold first.

The two little ones had probably waited for a long time, but when they didn’t see their mother picking them up, they both started crying, their mouths drooping.

Su Ranran was startled. Just as she was about to reach out to pick up the two babies, she heard someone calling her.

“Wife, wake up.”

The low voice seemed to be both in the sky and in her ears. Su Ranran was a little confused and couldn’t tell which part was the dream for a moment.

Her eyelids fluttered, and a swollen, sore feeling came over her.

Before she could open her eyes, the magnetic voice came again “Get up and have breakfast before going to sleep.”

Hearing this, Su Ranran slowly regained her senses. When she opened her eyes, she saw a man in a military uniform. At first glance, he had just returned from the army.

“What time is it?” Su Ranran’s voice was still a little hoarse.

Looking at her pink face with swollen eyelids, Shen He felt a deep sense of distress.

“It’s still early, you should have breakfast before going back to bed.”

As he said that, he reached out and picked her up from the bed, and without putting her down, he carried her directly to the shower room.

There was already a basin of water in the shower room, and her towel was in the basin.

After Shen He set her down, he took the mouthwash cup and toothbrush.

Seeing that he seemed to want to squeeze the toothpaste for her, Su Ranran blushed, and her still-dazed mind became fully awake.

“I’ll do it myself.”

As she said that, she reached out to take the toothbrush and toothpaste from his hand.

But Shen He was tall, and when he raised his hand lightly, she grabbed nothing. Not only did she fail to grab the toothbrush, but she also fell into his arms.

Su Ranran felt her ears tingle when she heard the man’s muffled laughter.

In the end, she had to give up on herself and the whole treatment.

It was unclear how she finished brushing her teeth and washing her face, but when she returned, Su Ranran was still being held.

The man seemed to have some kind of skin hunger and was very clingy.

Su Ranran even suspected that he had been replaced by someone else.

Otherwise, how could such a serious man act this way?

But all the doubts vanished when she met those loving eyes.

Su Ranran peacefully enjoyed his love and care.

After a sticky breakfast, Shen He returned to the army again, but Su Ranran was no longer sleepy.

Thinking of the scene she had seen in her dream, she reached out and touched her belly, her eyes soft with emotion.

Could there really be two babies here?

But she dismissed the thought. After all, there was no B-ultrasound in those days, and she couldn’t know for sure even if she wanted to.

In the end, Su Ranran put the matter aside.

Meanwhile, everyone in the family compound was talking about Su Ranran’s dinner party the previous day.

“Is it really that delicious?”

When they heard that Su Ranran had treated everyone to a dish of braised pig intestines the day before, they were still skeptical at first.

But now, seeing everyone who attended the dinner with endless praise, they were suddenly very curious.

“It’s true, my husband said it’s better than braised pork.”

Such a large pot of brine had been eaten by several grown men.

Seeing their unsatisfied expressions, Zhong Juhua knew that they must not have had enough.

When they heard that Su Ranran made pig intestines taste better than braised pork, the wives in the family compound couldn’t sit still.

Although their husbands had salaries, they didn’t often eat meat.

First, half of their earnings had to be sent home, and second, meat required tickets, and even though they had money, it was useless without them.

But pig offal was different. No one bought it, it was cheap, and didn’t require tickets.

Immediately, many people ran to ask Su Ranran how to make pig offal.

Su Ranran didn’t hide it, she told everyone who came.

The military wives who had learned the recipe went home happily, once again praising Su Ranran in various ways.

Listening to their chattering praises, Zhou Huaqin’s face looked a little ugly.

Yesterday, out of pride, she didn’t pick up a piece of pig intestine with her chopsticks.

But even though she hadn’t eaten any, she was already very greedy.

Especially when she saw everyone else scrambling to eat it, Zhou Huaqin became even more envious. If she had known it would be like this yesterday, she wouldn’t have refused. Now, seeing that everyone else had learned how to make it, she felt very envious, but she couldn’t bring herself to ask.

“Mom, let’s buy some pig intestines and make them too?”

Her son Pengpeng smacked his lips, looking at her expectantly.

Yesterday, a pot of specially cut small pieces of brine was placed on the children’s table. He ate a lot and was still craving more.

But how could Zhou Huaqin know how to make this?

Yesterday, she had thought it was disgusting and didn’t even look at it.

“Son, be good. Let’s not eat that dirty stuff. Mom will make you braised pork.”

Zhou Huaqin was obsessed with face. Even though she was greedy, she remained very stubborn. But how could the child understand this? Seeing that she refused to buy the pig intestines, he burst into tears.

The crying attracted the attention of the neighbors, and when they found out what was going on, they all tried to persuade her.

“If the child likes it, just buy it. It’s not expensive.”

“That’s right. My sister-in-law is a very nice person. If you want to learn, why don’t you just ask her?”

Zhou Huaqin almost vomited blood after hearing these words. But those who were trying to persuade her hadn’t been invited to dinner yesterday. How could they know what she had said to the Shen family the day before?

Zhou Huaqin couldn’t blame others. In the end, she vented her anger on her son.

“Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat all day long. Why don’t you eat yourself to death?”

As she spoke, she twisted Pengpeng’s ear and dragged him home.

The other military wives looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what she was talking about.

Liu Hong was in the same predicament as Zhou Huaqin.

After leaving halfway yesterday, she waited a long time, but her husband didn’t come after her.

How could she, who always thought highly of herself, bear this?

She was angry and spent most of the night outside, feeding mosquitoes, but he still didn’t come looking for her.

Liu Hong finally went home angrily, prepared to settle the score, but Yan Yixing had already locked the door and was sleeping soundly. After being angry all night, she finally got some sleep in the morning. When she woke up, she heard her daughter crying and making a fuss about wanting to eat pig intestines.

Liu Hong was furious at that moment.

“Yan Xiaoxiao, do you know what pig intestines are? That’s something related to shit! Do you need me to eat that? Is that all you can do?”

Yan Xiaoxiao, who was only three years old, didn’t understand all of that. She just knew that the food the night before had been delicious.

When her mother yelled at her, she immediately burst into tears, feeling wronged.

For a moment, the family compound was filled with noise and bustle, with some people happy and some crying.`
