Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife

Zhang Lanxiang quickly made a hushed gesture and said, "Keep your voice down. Don't shout. It's not good if others hear you. That's what Qianqian said."

"But this isn't an easy job. It requires a certain level of skill. Foreigners' handwriting is as crooked as earthworms. How can you recognize it so easily?"

Father Xu nodded repeatedly and said in a low voice, "You are right. Our daughter-in-law is really amazing. This is a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern."

Seeing the old man's smug look, Zhang Lanxiang couldn't help but say, "Your daughter-in-law is amazing, but your son is lucky. Why are you so proud?"

After hearing what Zhang Lanxiang said, Xu's father stiffened his neck and retorted, "Then my son has good taste, isn't that also my style? If it weren't for my good genes as a father, how could he have found such a good wife?"

Zhang Lanxiang rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're the only one who flatters yourself."

After hearing Zhang Lanxiang's words, Mr. Xu said unconvincedly, "I'm not flattering myself. Just think about it, if my excellent genes hadn't been passed down to his son, would he have had such good judgment in choosing Qianqian?"

"Besides, wasn't it because of my handsome face that you were attracted to me that you shamelessly wanted to return it to me?"

Zhang Lanxiang blushed deeply upon hearing this. She reached out and grabbed Father Xu's ear, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about, old man? Who is the one who's being so shameless? Back then, you were the one chasing after me every day, trying to please me."

Father Xu cried out in pain, but the smile on his face deepened. "Okay, okay, I'm being shameless, okay?"

Zhang Lanxiang finally nodded in satisfaction. "That's good enough. Hurry up and serve the dumplings. I'll go get Qianqian."

Father Xu rubbed his painful ear and muttered, "This old woman is still so rough."

But he still obediently took the bowl and started to scoop out the dumplings from the pot one by one.

Zhang Lanxiang came to Shi Qingqian's room and saw Shi Qingqian sitting at the desk, reading seriously. She knocked on the door gently and said, "Qianqian, the dumplings are ready, come and eat."

"Okay, Mom, I'll be right there," Shi Qingqian took the letter and remittance slip that Xu Huaian sent to his parents.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the main room, and Xu's father had already prepared the dumplings and placed them on the table.

The brothers Xu Huaiguo and Xu Huaimin would go to their own rooms to eat after cooking, so they were the only ones in the main room.

The three of them sat together and started eating dumplings.

Father Xu picked up a dumpling, put it in his mouth, and said as he ate, "This dumpling is really delicious. This is my first time eating beef dumplings. It's really good."

Zhang Lanxiang said, "Of course, this is the beef Qianqian bought. How could it not be delicious? Qianqian, you should eat it quickly."

Shi Qingqian picked up a dumpling and took a bite. The aroma of beef spread on the tip of her tongue. She smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, these dumplings are really delicious. We can make them again when we have the chance."

Father Xu nodded repeatedly and said as he ate, "That's great. But Qianqian, you're so busy with work now, you can't spend all your time on these chores. If you want to eat dumplings, your mother and I can make them."

Zhang Lanxiang also echoed, "Yes, your father is right. Just focus on your work. You don't have to worry about these things."

Shi Qingqian smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad."

The family ate and chatted, and a warm atmosphere filled the main room.

Before they knew it, they had almost finished eating the dumplings, and the three of them were very satisfied.

At this time, Shi Qingqian took out the letter and remittance slip sent by Xu Huaian, handed them to Xu's father and Zhang Lanxiang, and said, "Dad, Mom, this is the letter and remittance slip sent by Huaian, please take a look."

Xu's father took the letter and opened it carefully, while Zhang Lanxiang picked up the remittance slip, which was still 10 yuan per month for living expenses.

Father Xu read the contents of the letter softly, which mainly included messages like Xu Huaian reporting that he was safe and asking his parents to take care of their health.

But every time Zhang Lanxiang listened, her eyes couldn't help but moisten: "This child, even when he's away, still misses home."

Shi Qingqian comforted them, "Huai'an has always been concerned about you, so mom and dad should take care of their health."

Zhang Lanxiang handed the remittance slip to Shi Qingqian and said, "Qianqian, next time you go to town, please pick up the money."

Shi Qingqian took the remittance slip and said, "Okay, Mom."

After eating dumplings, Shi Qingqian returned to her home and opened the letter Xu Huaian sent her.

Shi Qingqian carefully unfolded the letter paper, which showed Xu Huaian's familiar handwriting.

[My wife Qianqian:]

When I pick up my pen, a thousand thoughts flood my mind, and at the end of each thought, there is your image. In this quiet night, my longing for you overwhelms me like a tide.

Your smile is gentle and brilliant, like the brightest star in the night sky. In this military life far away from home, even in the most tiring moments, as long as I think of your smile, my heart is filled with warmth.

How I long to cross this long distance and hold you tightly in my arms. Every night, I see you in my dreams.

Please take good care of yourself. During these long days, your well-being is my greatest concern.

【I'm fine here, don't worry.】

【Husband Xu Huaian】

Although Shi Qingqian felt that the content of the letter was a bit corny, she couldn't help but read the contents of the letter over and over again, and then carefully put Xu Huaian's letter in the drawer.

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Shi Qingqian immediately devoted himself to the translation work.

She looked at the words in the book intently, and the pen in her hand kept writing on the paper.

As time passed, the night gradually deepened.

Shi Qingqian stretched and looked at the part of the translation she had completed, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

She walked out of the room and saw that Xu's father and Zhang Lanxiang had gone back to their room to rest. The yard was quiet.

Shi Qingqian returned to her room and was about to go to bed when she yawned. A busy day made her body a little tired.

However, just as she was about to draw the curtains, her eyes inadvertently swept out the window and she saw a figure walking out of the house next door.

She was suddenly startled, and most of her sleepiness was instantly dispelled.

Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and curiosity prompted her to decide to follow and see.

When I got outside, I found that the figure was heading towards the back mountain.

It’s so late, what are you doing in the back mountain?

She followed the figure quietly, keeping a distance to avoid being discovered.

In the moonlight, she vaguely saw the man's face, and it turned out to be her eldest brother Xu Huaiguo.
