Sweet love in military marriage: an egg in exchange for a rough husband

The old man led the cow and walked slowly in front, while Su Yunyun followed behind, walking in the shade to avoid the sun.

The two chatted along the way. Su Yunyun learned that the old man in front of her was surnamed Du, so she simply called him Mr. Du, and told him not to call her "little girl" and just call her Yunyun.

When the two of them arrived at the cowshed with smiles on their faces, an old man who was neatly dressed but looked very thin came out. He supported his head with his hands and looked pale. When he saw them, he looked a little panicked, "Lao Du, I said I just had a mild heat stroke and I will be fine after a rest. Why did you insist on going down the mountain to pick honeysuckle and took so long? Did something happen?"

"Also, who is this little girl?"

"Old Li, let me introduce you to Su Yunyun." Old Du saw his old friend was anxious and flustered. He knew that he had been away for too long, which might cause people to have bad associations. He hurried over and patted his shoulder gently, introducing Su Yunyun to him to reassure him. "Her eldest brother is the captain Su Ping, so don't worry."

After listening to this, Mr. Li gradually calmed down and was no longer panicked.

"Yunyun saved me, otherwise I would have fainted at the foot of the mountain. If I had been exposed to the scorching sun for another afternoon, you wouldn't have seen me again," Du Lao said with a smile, describing the danger. "She also helped me pick a hat of honeysuckle. I'll boil some water for you to drink later, and your heatstroke will be cured."

After hearing this, Mr. Li knew that Su Yunyun in front of him was Mr. Du's savior, and he endured the discomfort and went forward to thank Su Yunyun.

Su Yunyun smiled and gently waved her hand, telling him not to be so polite, and then asked, "Where should I put the honeysuckle?"

Old Du took the hat from her hand, found a bamboo basket, poured the honeysuckle into it, and calmly and neither servilely nor arrogantly invited her to go into the cowshed to sit and rest for a while.

Su Yunyun originally wanted to refuse, but then she thought that if she refused at this time, the old man who was tortured by life might think too much, which would be bad, so she accepted the invitation and entered the cowshed.

After entering the cowshed, Su Yunyun found that the air here was not filled with bad smells as she had imagined. On the contrary, because it was clean and tidy, the air was flowing well, and there was no unpleasant smell. However, there were only two single beds, a low and shabby cabinet with a clean kettle on it, two repaired stools on the ground, and a clean stove with a small number of bowls and chopsticks, and a little salt. Apart from this, there was nothing else.

Su Yunyun sat on a small stool, feeling a little sad and her eyes were sore. What kind of life do these two old people live in their daily life?

Although many families in the village are very poor, they at least have an oil can. They would drip a few drops of oil into the dishes when cooking to add some oil flavor. However, these two old people probably eat boiled dishes for a long time, so adding some salt should be the seasoning to improve their lives.

Old Du saw that Su Yunyun was sad and sighed in his heart, thinking that she was indeed a kind and simple girl.

"Yunyun, come and drink some water," Old Li took a bowl and poured a glass of water for Su Yunyun. He handed it to Su Yunyun with some nervousness, but when he saw Su Yunyun took it without hesitation and started drinking, a smile spread across his face, as if he had put down some of the burden.

"Yunyun, what you see is the best life your elder brother can provide for us," Du Lao explained, trying to reassure Su Yunyun, "We know that the old guys in other villages are envious of us. If the policy did not allow it, they would probably want to come here."

Hearing Mr. Du's cheerful voice, which sounded very satisfied, Su Yunyun knew that they meant well and did not want to make her sad. She felt that they were very broad-minded and would not complain about anything that happened. Instead, they would accept it calmly and make their lives better under limited conditions. They lived very transparently.

Su Yunyun admired their philosophy of life very much, so she felt relieved. After all, she already knew them and their situation, so she could take time out to come and help take care of them.

I have space at hand, and I have no shortage of food, fruits, chickens, ducks, etc., but these are the things they are in short supply but have no way to get them.

Seeing the honeysuckle in the bamboo basket, Su Yunyun stood up and washed it with water. During this time, Du Lao and Li Lao stopped her from doing it, but Su Yunyun refused, saying that she was young and it was okay to do this. Then she stood in front of the stove with the washed honeysuckle, "Du Lao, how many bowls of water should I put to boil this?"

Mr. Du smiled and told her to put 2 and a half bowls of water. When the water boils, some of it will evaporate, leaving 2 bowls. One bowl each for him and Mr. Li is just enough to drink to clear away heat and relieve summer heat.

Su Yunyun added 2 and a half bowls of water into the pot, and when the two were not paying attention, added a drop of water from the black medicine spring. After the water boiled, she removed the large firewood and left a small amount of small firewood to continue burning, similar to a low fire.

\"Mr. Du, Mr. Li, I'm leaving first," Su Yunyun stuck the burning wood into the ash, and said she was leaving after it was completely extinguished. \"When the wood is extinguished, you can drink. \"

Elder Du and Elder Li wanted to stand up to see them off, but Su Yunyun declined politely, "You two elders should sit down and rest first. I will come to see you later when I have time."

Then Su Yunyun went back happily holding the hat, humming a little tune. She was very happy because she had helped two elderly people today!

Looking at the graceful figure walking away, Mr. Du sighed, "This child is just like her elder brother, both are good children."

"Yes, it's a good thing that we were assigned to Dongshan Village, so we can have a chance to breathe," said Old Li sadly. "If we were assigned to other villages like the other old guys, who knows what would become of us!"

"Don't be sad, you have to look forward in life," Du Lao happily poured out the honeysuckle water and handed him a bowl, "Drink it quickly, you will feel better soon."

"it is good."

After a while, Mr. Li became puzzled. "Hey, Lao Du, when did your medical skills become so good? I just boiled honeysuckle in water and all my heat stroke symptoms are gone. Even some of my old injuries seem to be better."

Mr. Du felt that what Mr. Li was talking about was the feeling after Su Yunyun fed him water this afternoon. However, his symptoms of heatstroke had disappeared, and now he felt that all the soreness in his body was gone, and his body felt more comfortable than ever before.

Old Du thought secretly: When he fainted, Su Yunyun fed him the water from her kettle, and the honeysuckle water he just drank was also boiled by her. The weirdness in this must be related to her!

Is this little girl hiding a big secret?
