After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

Xia Qingning walked to Mai Miao's house with the clothes. She didn't go in, but called Mai Miao to come out.

At this point, most people have gone home from get off work and are preparing to cook. A group of middle-aged women and young wives are washing vegetables by the faucet in the yard.

Mai Miao quickly walked out of the house and came to the outside of the yard. When he saw Xia Qingning, he couldn't stop smiling:

"Qing Ning, why did you come just now? I have been waiting for you for a long time."

At this time, Aunt Wu came out of the house and was about to change the coal briquettes in the stove. When she looked up, she noticed Mai Miao. She didn't recognize him for a moment and asked in confusion:

"When did the Mai family's relatives come? Where are you from, girl?"

Mai Miao looked around and found that Aunt Wu was talking about him, and immediately laughed out loud:

"Aunt Wu, take a closer look at who I am?"

Aunt Wu looked at it carefully for several times, and finally realized what was going on. She shouted in surprise:

"Oh my god, Mai Miao! It's Mai Miao! Why don't you look like yourself anymore?"

Her shout attracted the attention of everyone around. After seeing that it was Mai Miao, everyone gathered around and said in unison:

"Maimiao, why have you become so beautiful?"

"Where did you buy this skirt? It's so pretty!"

"And your face, who put makeup on it? Your eyes look bigger and your face looks smaller, it's really beautiful!"

The wheat seedlings surrounded in the middle said with great pride:

"This is all decorated by Qing Ning."

"Mrs. Lu, when did you learn how to put on makeup, and how beautifully you put it on." The people around looked at Xia Qingning with some confusion and asked.

"Qingning is not only good at putting on makeup, but also has very deft hands. The skirt I'm wearing was made by her using the scraps of cloth she bought yesterday." Mai Miao praised quickly.

She is now simply Xia Qingning's little fan girl, and her eyes are full of admiration when she looks at Xia Qingning.

When they heard that the skirt was made of scraps of cloth, everyone was stunned and said in disbelief:

"How is that possible? Mai Miao, are you kidding us?"

"Who are you kidding? Look, the fabrics of the skirt are all pieced together." Mai Miao said as he showed it to everyone.

"It really is made of scraps of cloth." After seeing it, the person next to him couldn't help but praise:

"Mrs. Lu, you are really amazing."

Mai Miao really liked this skirt, so she took Xia Qingning's hand and said:

"Qing Ning, can you sell me this skirt?" After thinking for a while, she said, "How about twenty dollars?"

Although this dress was made of scraps of cloth, He Shanshan's red skirt cost 20 yuan, and the one she was wearing was so much more beautiful than hers that she felt she was getting a bargain with Xia Qingning for only yuan.

"But I don't have that much money now. Can I pay you back slowly when I save up more?" Mai Miao said a little embarrassedly.

Xia Qingning saw her cautious look and thought she was really cute. She waved her hand and said:

"No need to pay, I'll give it to you."

Xia Qingning made this skirt according to Mai Miao's size and originally intended to give it to her.

"Really!" Mai Miao couldn't believe her ears. Such a beautiful skirt was given to her for free. She was happy but also felt it was not very kind. She said hurriedly:

"But you didn't have any clothes, and you made one with great difficulty, but you gave it to me."

"I have a lot of cloth here, so it's no problem to make four or five more pieces." Xia Qingning said with a smile.

After hearing her words, she remembered what He Shanshan said yesterday, that a pile of scraps of cloth only cost three yuan, and that three yuan could make five or six such clothes. The young wife next to her immediately said with envy:

"Mrs. Lu, I'm going to the store to buy some scraps of cloth. Can you make one for me?"

Hearing her say this, the other sisters-in-law couldn't hold back and rushed to say:

"Do one for me, too."

"And me and me."

“I want to make one, too.”

Seeing that everyone wanted Xia Qingning to help make clothes, Mai Miao immediately felt distressed and helped Xia Qingning refuse:

"That won't work. If everyone does one, Qing Ning will be exhausted to death!"

Hearing the commotion in the yard, He Shanshan, who was sitting at home, poked her head out curiously. From afar, she saw everyone gathering around a woman in a blue and white dress and talking about something. Unable to suppress her curiosity, she walked over to see what was going on.

As she got closer and closer and finally saw clearly the person in the blue and white dress, she was completely stunned.

Is this still the same ugly girl with a round face and a big forehead? She is like a completely different person.

Not only did she become prettier, she also put on beautiful makeup, and the skirt she wore looked even more beautiful!

He Shanshan suddenly realized something and was afraid that Mai Miao would hit back at her with the same words she had said yesterday, so she wanted to run away immediately.

But Mai Miao had already seen her. When she turned around to leave, he quickly grabbed her:

"He Shanshan, don't leave! Didn't you say that you would show you the dress when Qingning finished making it?" After saying that, she lifted the hem of her skirt, turned her body left and right, and showed off the dress she was wearing:

"Look, this dress I'm wearing is made by Qing Ning using the rags you mentioned. How about it? It's not worse than the skirt you're wearing, right?"

She had not forgotten how He Shanshan had mocked the fabrics bought by Xia Qingning in front of everyone yesterday. Now she wanted to show her how beautiful the skirt made from the rotten fabrics she mentioned could be.

Looking at the two people standing together, everyone couldn't help but say:

"That's true. Looking at it this way, Mai Miao's skirt is indeed prettier than Shan Shan's."

He Shanshan, who was already unhappy, immediately became angry after hearing this. She spent 20 yuan to buy this skirt. Even if Mai Miao's skirt was beautiful, it was still made of a pile of rags. Why should it be compared with hers? She immediately shouted at the crowd:

"What do you know? How can her junk compare to mine? Mine is Dacron."

The older girls and younger wives who were yelled at did not tolerate her and immediately said:

"So what if Dacron is good-looking? It's definitely not as good-looking as others."

"Didn't she say yesterday that Mai Miao was ugly? Wouldn't she be prettier than her if she dressed up?"

"That's right. They also said that Qing Ning would paint people like toads. I think her makeup looks like a toad."

Hahaha……

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

He Shanshan's face turned red and white. She had never been ridiculed like this in her life. She was angry and annoyed. Suddenly she looked at Xia Qingning. Everything was because of her. If she hadn't made Mai Miao like this, no one would laugh at her.

Suddenly, she rushed to Xia Qingning in a rage and shouted:

"You did this on purpose, dressing her up like this just to embarrass me!"

"Do you feel embarrassed now?" Xia Qingning did not show weakness, she looked at her coldly and asked:

"Weren't you very proud when you insulted me yesterday by calling me ugly?"

"You!" He Shanshan was choked by Xia Qingning's words. She glared angrily and suddenly said sarcastically:

"She is ugly to begin with." After saying this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his lips:

"If you have the guts, tell her to wash her face before competing with me."

"Why can you put on makeup but others can't?" Xia Qingning raised her eyebrows and said murderously:

"After washing, they are whiter than you."

"You!" He Shanshan choked again. Before she could think of a way to fight back, she heard Mai Miao beside her also speak up:

"What are you talking about? You have the nerve to say that I'm ugly. Don't you even look at what a monster you've turned into?"

"Who is the monster! Explain yourself clearly to me!" He Shanshan asked angrily.

At this time, Lu Lidong's wife Yao Hongmei, who had just returned with her child, saw her sister-in-law He Shanshan arguing with someone, so she hurried forward to try to persuade her.

But as soon as I walked over, the daughter in my arms suddenly burst into tears with a "wow".

The child's crying was so piercing that everyone looked over at the same time and saw that the little girl was so scared that she went straight into Yao Hongmei's arms.

"What's wrong, Yingying?" Yao Hongmei asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Mom is leaving... Yingying is scared, wuwu... the monster wants to eat people." The little girl cried and looked into the crowd.

Everyone looked in the direction the little girl was looking, their eyes locked on He Shanshan's face, and they immediately understood who the monster the little girl was talking about was.

Hahaha……

There was a huge laugh from the crowd immediately.

A young wife raised her hand and touched the little girl's head, smiling and saying:

"Yingying, don't be afraid. Your aunt won't dare to eat you."
