The Pretty Military Wife

Fu Chunhua and Liang Xinyue spread the firewood and returned to the house. Xiao Lanlan sat on the doorstep obediently and watched them come in, then followed them into the house.

Liang Xinyue opened the kitchen, took out the thermos and poured them some hot water. She also added sugar to their cups:

"Here, drink some water."

The sugar hasn't completely dissolved yet, Xiao Lanlan stares at the sugar grains at the bottom of the water:

"Mom, Auntie also put sugar in it."

Fu Chunhua also hurriedly said:

"Look at you, we're just sitting here, and you're mixing sugar water, that's not good."

Liang Xinyue sighed inwardly. To be honest, it was only in this era that drinking sugar water was considered precious. In the previous life, children drank all kinds of milk tea and soda.

Liang Xinyue took a spoon and put it into Xiao Lanlan's cup:

"Be good, stir it yourself, and it will melt. Only when it melts will it be sweet."

Then Liang Xinyue went into the inner room and took out a handful of milk candies from the drawer. These were leftovers from the last dinner she hosted for everyone in Dayang County, and Xiao Wei put them away.

I don’t like eating candy, so I just put it here and haven’t taken it out to eat.

Liang Xinyue grabbed a handful and gave it to Xiao Lanlan:

"Here, Lanlan, put it in your pocket. You'll need to share it with... Do you have a brother or sister at home?"

This question was directed to Fu Chunhua.

When Fu Chunhua saw that it was candy, she quickly reached out to block Liang Xinyue's hand:

"Don't give this good thing to the child, keep it for yourself."

"Sister Fu, this is for the child, not for you. Our Lanlan is very well-behaved. Come, keep it and share it with others when you get home..."

"Brother, I have a brother."

Lanlan answered very perceptively and tried hard to open her pocket a little with her little hands.

But her clothes were small to begin with, and the pockets were of one style, so they couldn't hold more than two or three candies.

She pulled at her clothes again:

"Auntie, there is another pocket here."

Fu Chunhua was almost amused by her daughter's behavior. She reached out and patted the child's hand:

"You kid!"

Liang Xinyue really laughed:

"Yes, we have to put this bag in there too, one bag for brother and one bag for Lanlan to eat."

"it is good."

Lanlan was very happy. She didn't expect this aunt to be so kind. She gave her sugar water and candy. She had eaten this candy once. Dad brought back only one. She and her brother cut it with a knife and ate half each. It was delicious.

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Fu Chunhua could only say:

"Look at you, this is a waste of money. If I had known this, I would not have brought the child with me."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Sister Fu, what are you talking about? This is our wedding when Zhou Guoliang came back to his hometown. We were recruiting soldiers at the time, so we treated everyone to wedding candy at the guesthouse."

"We originally said we would give everyone wedding candy after we came back, but Zhou Guoliang said that the political commissar had not come back yet, so we would treat everyone together after he came back. Now the political commissar has come back, but he has gone on another mission. We can only wait a little longer, and then treat everyone after he comes back."

After hearing her say that they were going to eat wedding candy, Fu Chunhua felt a little more at ease. Otherwise, it would have been very uncomfortable to bring the children to say hello.

Liang Xinyue went into the inner room again and took out two pieces of red wool:

"Come here, Lanlan, Auntie said she'd put a red hairband on your head. Tie a bow around it, and it'll look really pretty."

Xiao Lanlan was so happy that she ran to Liang Xinyue, and Liang Xinyue tied two little red flowers in her hair.

"Mom, does it look good?"

"It looks good. It looks really good."

Fu Chunhua looked at Lanlan and said with a smile.

"Xinyue sister, are you really from the countryside?"

"Well, Lao Zhou and I are in the same team. We have been engaged since we were young."

Fu Chunhua's eyes were gleaming with gossip:

"Really? You've been engaged since you were young. It's the same as us. Xiang Qian and I grew up together. I was eight years old when I arrived at their house, and he was only five. I watched him grow up with his bare bottom."

Liang Xinyue smiled. She had never met Chen Xiangqian yet.

There was a beating of kids next door again. The little girl was crying loudly, and Xiao Lanlan was scared and ran into Fu Chunhua's arms.

Fu Chunhua sighed and said:

"That girl has been here for three or four years, and I've only seen her twice. Both times, we saw her after Old Xiao brought her out. She was just over five years old, and she wasn't even as big as our Lanlan when she was brought out."

"He's just skin and bones. To be honest, after being beaten and scolded like this every day, the child still... Oh, it's fate."

Liang Xinyue could only listen to the child crying and sighed. It was someone else's child, it was up to them to beat or scold him, she really couldn't control it.

After finishing the boiled water, Fu Chunhua smiled and said:

"There's a kid at home, so I won't stay here. Come play in our yard when you have time. We're at the end of this row."

Liang Xinyue knew that they also had to take care of the children, so she smiled and said:

"Okay, bring both kids over to play when you have time. I'm at home every day too. I'm not familiar with this place either."

"it is good."

Xiao Lanlan was reluctant to leave at first, but after her mother glared at her, she pouted and followed her mother.

As soon as they left, Xiao Wei came over:

"Hey, sister, did you go to collect firewood? If you need firewood, just tell me. The leader said before he left that if there is anything, just tell me."

"this is for you."

Xiao Wei came over with a basin in which there were several pieces of meat. It was obvious that they were all pieces of pork belly.

"Sister, the regiment commander asked the canteen to purchase some last night. The regiment commander gave me the money. Let me deliver it to you and Captain Xiao's home."

Just as Xiao Wei finished speaking, another voice came from the top of the wall.

"What? Meat? Hey, Xiao Wei, any good stuff will be given to your captain's family first."

It’s Lin Xiaoju again.

Liang Xinyue was unhappy now. Was Lin Xiaoju waiting in the corner to listen to what was going on? Why did she respond so quickly?

And listen to what he said, it's so harsh.

Xiao Wei was not polite:

"What's wrong? Sister Lin, this is the money paid by the group leader. I asked the canteen to buy a piece of meat. Thinking about your two children and Lao Xiao going out, I gave half to your family. What's wrong with letting Sister Xinyue choose first?"

Liang Xinyue rolled her eyes at her and took the thin piece first, ignoring her:

"I'll take this one."

Liang Xinyue knew that they liked to use the fat ones to make oil, so she took the lean ones.

Sure enough, your kindness is not taken seriously:

"Tsk tsk, that meat is so fatty. The canteen's purchasing agent really doesn't know how to buy it. It's so fatty that it's so greasy to eat."

Look, you’re still complaining.

Liang Xinyue knew that she was just saying one thing but doing another, and what she wanted most was this piece of meat.

Liang Xinyue decisively put down the thin one:

"Then give me the fat ones. I can't eat much by myself. I can just boil some oil, chop it up, and stir-fry it to make sauce and noodles."

When Lin Xiaoju saw Liang Xinyue took the fat piece again, she was just thinking about making some oil. She immediately became anxious:

"Hey, why are you still so picky? Should we all take what you left?"

Xiao Wei was so angry watching from the side that his liver hurt:

"Alright, alright, take whichever piece you want. I finally understand. Our team leader was being nosy when he said he'd give you half. Next time I'll make him buy it only for his family. Don't divide it up everywhere, and make my sister get scolded."
