She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 729: Mrs. Tang’s expression changed

Chen Miao's husband, Lao Zhou, asked the same question as he walked home:

"What great event is going on? Why is there so much excitement? Is that the smell of fish? It's like Chinese New Year. What's going on?"

Chen Miao also recounted what happened in the morning, and then said:

"I heard that your army has already issued such a notice? Anyone who is a family member of a garrison officer can register and apply to receive the fish?"

Lao Zhou frowned: "Who told you that?"

Chen Miao's breath hitched. "Everyone does this! Our two neighbors on the left and right have both registered!"

Old Zhou's expression was very serious and unpleasant. He waited for her to ask, "Did you go to register too?"

Chen Miao's voice weakened a little: "That's not the case."

That means I want to register!

Old Zhou didn't say whether it was good or bad, but with a gloomy expression, he reminded: "We must keep a low profile. This is a special period. We can't just live our lives recklessly and do whatever we want!"

Chen Miao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "For the sake of the two children, is it not possible? I can not eat, but the children are still growing!"

Old Zhou glanced at her and said, "You're talking about how good we were when we were kids?"

"Back then, we were at war everywhere. We had nothing, not even enough to eat! Sometimes we even had to peel tree bark to eat when we were starving, but we managed to survive and grow up, didn't we?"

Chen Miao held his breath in his throat and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Zhou Hao and Zhou Xiang also sat quietly on the side, without showing any of their usual mischievous behavior.

Let’s go back to Mrs. Jin’s house.

Ye Shu washed a few sweet potatoes and cut them into pieces of similar size so that they would be easier to cook when steamed.

Sanbaoer also clamored for it, and the other children seemed eager to try it as well.

So each family took out two sweet potatoes and steamed them together.

Mrs. Tang was washing the foamed dried mushrooms beside her and whispered to her:

"I saw you were very busy today, so I didn't get to talk to you alone. How much did you spend on the fish? I'll pay you."

She couldn't do anything like taking other people's things for free, so she spent the whole day feeling very troubled because of those ten frozen fish.

Ye Shu smiled and said, "You don't have to pay me. What I said this morning was just a pretext for the outside world. We didn't spend any money. If you don't believe me, when Big Brother comes back, you can ask Big Brother Sheng to ask me."

She pointed at Zhuang Jingjing and Mrs. Jin and said, "Ask them what they say."

Mrs. Jin was smart. She walked to the door first, looked out through the opened curtain, made sure there was no one outside, and then shook her head at Ye Shu.

Ye Shu understood what she meant, and then said to Mrs. Tang:

"I caught these fish last night when I went down to the river. Not only do we have them here, but the army has some too, so we can eat them without worry!"

Mrs. Tang was completely shocked. She felt that there was something wrong with her ears.

What did she hear?

She doesn't have tinnitus, does she?

Are you not hallucinating?

how can that be possible?

last night?

It’s such a cold day!

She actually went into the river?!

Mrs. Tang's face changed, she was so nervous that she grabbed Ye Shu's arm, she was extremely excited and couldn't bear it:

"Ye Shu! You are so confused! If we don't have anything to eat, then we don't have anything to eat! It's freezing in the cold, are you trying to kill yourself? Don't you think about how long it's been since you gave birth?"

"The children are still young and can't leave you alone! How could you do such a crazy thing!"

She has a gentle personality, but is also very delicate in mind, so even though she is extremely excited, she still lowers her voice to keep it volume low enough for outsiders to hear.

Seeing that she was really anxious, Ye Shu quickly comforted her: "I'm fine, sister-in-law, don't worry. Do you think I'm fine now?"

Mrs. Tang's face was furrowed, she was so excited that she couldn't speak, but her expression was very serious, as if to say, "How is it possible! How could nothing happen in the river in such a cold weather?!"

Ye Shu quickly explained:

"I'm really fine. I grew up in the countryside and have been going to the river since I was a kid, day and night, all year round. As long as someone asked me to go to the river, I would go, so that's how I developed my physical fitness!"

"Really? I'm a pretty good swimmer! Back when we were on Island Number Three, I saved people and even helped prevent a mission!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Tang's expression finally eased a little, but she still didn't believe it: "Is this true?"

"I've only heard that girls who go swimming regardless of the season will suffer from cold damage!"

Ye Shu nodded firmly: "It couldn't be more true!"

Zhuang Jingjing also echoed at this time:

"Yes, Ye Shu has received several second-class and first-class merit medals for her special ability! These are all nominal awards in the organization, and they can't be faked!"

"And you see, she gave birth twice in a row. The first time, she gave birth to triplets, and the second time, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Although they were both premature, the children's physiques are better than those of us singletons. This also proves that her body is really good!"

Mrs. Tang was very shocked and finally believed it.

Then he looked around again, making sure the children were not in the room, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I can't let the children hear me and go out and make a fuss!"

"These days, we have to keep a low profile, keep a low profile, and just make sure we don't make any mistakes!"

After saying that, he still felt that it was too frivolous for her to go down to the river in the middle of winter, so he warned her: "Don't go there in the future. No matter how strong your physique is, you have to wait until the weather warms up before going."

This was her genuine concern, and Ye Shu naturally appreciated it. He smiled and nodded, agreeing: "Okay! I'll listen to you, sister-in-law!"

After sharing the little secret, everyone continued to cook and then filled the table with delicious food.

There was definitely not enough room for so many people including adults and children, so we set up a separate table for the children.

Ye Shu was also not used to eating coarse grain porridge and mixed flour steamed buns. Adhering to the belief that other people's food should not be wasted, she basically did not eat staple food and only drank porridge soup.

Seeing this, Sister Jin hurried over to persuade:

"Ye Shu, why are you only eating this little? Hurry up and eat more, don't save it for me, we are having a dinner together, don't be so reserved! Why are you not eating like this anymore?!"

Ye Shu had no choice but to tell a white lie: "To be honest, after feeding Sisi and Xiaowu this afternoon, I was so hungry that I made a bowl of fried dough sticks. I haven't digested it yet, so I really can't eat any more!"

She spread her hands helplessly, looking like she was at her wit's end.

She really couldn't eat any more, and Jin's wife couldn't force her, so she had to say, "Then you should eat more fish and vegetables. You will definitely be able to eat more of this!"

Mrs. Tang looked at her skinny little sister, who had to work hard to catch fish in the river in the middle of winter, so she kept serving her fish and vegetables: "Eat more."
