The courtyard of the new barracks is not big. It is a half-new red brick building with a large yard. Several vegetable plots have been opened in the yard, and simple plastic greenhouses are used to grow leeks and peppers. They are neglected. , the growth is not very gratifying.

There were children in the courtyard, chasing each other and playing carefree.

A small rubber ball rolled to Su Haitang's side. She stretched out her feet to touch it, bent down to pick it up, and handed it to the little boy who ran over.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Are you a little guard?"

Su Haitang teased the little boy with great interest.

The little boy puffed up his chest in an airy manner and waved, and a crowd of people cheered from behind.

"Don't evade my question! This is a strategic military location, you can't come in and out casually! Tell me your name!"

Su Haitang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When he saw Xu Congrong who was following behind to join in the fun, he called him.

Xu Congrong agreed with a sweet voice, looked up at her, and blinked his round black eyes, recognizing her.

"Aunt Haitang."

Su Haitang picked up the little boy and took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.

"It's noon and you're still running around outside. Aren't you hungry?"

"I'll wait for you to come home for dinner." The tiger-headed boy smiled brightly, snuggled into her arms obediently, and turned around to wave goodbye to his friends.

"My Aunt Haitang is here. I'm going home for dinner."

The boys dispersed in a rush.

Su Haitang carried him upstairs and teased him to talk.

"I heard that you got 80% in the last exam. Did your dad beat you?"

Xu Congrong covered his buttocks with his small hands and looked like he had toothache.

"No."

No? This means that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

Su Haitang couldn't help laughing, this child is so funny.

"I got a hundred points in the exam this time."

Seeing that she was laughing at him, Xu Congrong hurriedly showed off his latest achievements.

"Ah, such great progress! It's amazing."

Su Haitang complimented him kindly, and carried the child up to the third floor without blushing or out of breath.

The door was ajar, Su Haitang knocked politely twice before pushing it open and entering.

"Of course I'm awesome."

Xu Congrong proudly praised himself, got off the ground and put on cotton slippers, shouting loudly: "Mom, I'm back!"

He ran to the kitchen to urge Xu He again.

"Dad, are the dumplings cooked?"

Su Haitang put on her slippers, said hello to Peng Man who came out of the bedroom after hearing the news, rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to help.

Xu He was wearing an apron and was busy rolling and wrapping leather. He was not polite when he saw her coming.

"Can you make packages?"

"meeting."

The two of them divided the work and cooperated. Xu He rolled out the dough and Su Haitang made the bags, doubling the speed.

Peng Man came in and looked at the stove to boil water, first boiling a pot.

"Sister-in-law looks good today."

Su Haitang was very quick. He took a piece of dumpling wrapper, flattened it in his palm, scooped out a ball of meat filling, flipped it with his fingers, and a round and round Yuanbao dumpling was ready.

Peng Man looked at her and her husband standing together. Their heights and temperaments matched each other very well. She held back her sadness and said with a smile, "It's an old problem. It's getting better this year. Usually when the weather is a little colder, I can't even get out of bed because of the cough."

Su Haitang smeared some spiritual spring water on the dumpling wrappers and comforted her with a smile.

"This means that my sister-in-law is in good health."

Xu He glanced at Su Haitang with concern, feeling sorry for her forced smile and being depressed in the army. He wanted to ask her to come home to relax, but she still had to deal with small talk.

"It's choking in here, be careful if you cough again. Go sit outside, I'll just take care of it with Haitang."

Xu He turned to wink at his wife, rolled out another dumpling wrapper in his hands, and threw it to Su Haitang's hand. She picked it up lightly and spread it in the palm of her hand.

The tacit understanding is as if we have done it together thousands of times.

But he wants to drive her out as a wife.
