My strategy failed, so my bestie introduced me to a tough officer.

Xie Zhennan: "Auntie, there are more than a dozen feather dusters in the vase at home, and three or four washboards under the bed."

"With those dozen feather dusters and washboards guarding the house, how could I dare to act rashly?"

"It's become popular in my family to use goose feathers to scratch the soles of feet."

Xiao Yanlin touched the bridge of his nose and spoke.

"Lolo stuffed a dozen goose feathers into the nightstand in the master bedroom."

Xie Zhennan: “…”

Hit with a feather duster.

Kneel on the washboard.

At most, it will hurt for a day or two.

Goose feathers scratching the soles of your feet is a torture that strikes directly at your soul.

Xiao Yanlin is worse off than him!

Xie Zhennan felt relieved immediately.

"It's a good thing for you two to know that your wife has someone to protect her and that she's capable."

Chu Jie suddenly felt a little sympathy for Xie Zhennan and Xiao Yanlin.

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

She opened the almanac in her hand and handed it to Yun Jiaojiao and Lin Qingluo.

"This weekend is an auspicious day for weddings, housewarmings, and store openings."

"Then move this weekend."

Xie Zhennan responded to Chu Jie readily.

"We'll go to Xujiaba in the morning, move in the afternoon, and have a feast at the military district guesthouse in the evening."

"What are you doing in Xujiaba?"

Deng Changping walked towards the sofa.

"I heard from a friend that Jiangcheng South Railway Station will be built in Xujiaba. Is this the reason you guys are going to Xujiaba?"

Deng Changping had already guessed it, so Xie Zhennan and Xiao Yanlin had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Commander, your information is a bit delayed. Jiangcheng South Railway Station is not going to be built in Xujiaba, but has already started construction."

"In the past few days, the Jiangcheng Architectural Design Institute has sent several groups of people to survey the terrain, and they've also driven several excavators and drilling rigs over."

"You guys came all the way to Xujiaba, didn't you just want to watch the excavators and drills in action?"

Deng Changping looked at the young people in disbelief.

The combined age of these people is over a hundred years old. They traveled all the way to Xujiaba to watch the excavator and drill rig in action...

As an old man, he cannot understand the thoughts of today's young people.

"Commander, in your eyes, are we so childish?"

Xiao Yanlin was a little amused.

"We went to Xujiaba to buy land."

“Buy land!”

Deng Changping and Chu Jie spoke at the same time.

The couple became increasingly unable to understand the four people's behavior.

Chu Jie asked with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Xujiaba is 34 kilometers away from our military region. What are you doing buying land there?"

Xiao Yanlin glanced at the two women beside Chu Jie. Seeing that they had no intention of objecting, he explained to Chu Jie and Deng Changping in a concise manner.

"Buy now at a low price and sell later at a high price."

Xie Zhennan took over Xiao Yanlin's words.

"The South Railway Station is located in Xujiaba. The Jiangcheng government will definitely vigorously develop Xujiaba in the next few years. The land in Xujiaba has great commercial value."

"You guys, you guys are just speculating and profiteering."

Deng Changping was so angry at what Xie Zhennan and Xiao Yanlin said that he was fuming.

"Don't forget, you two are soldiers."

"Deng Changping, why are you yelling at them?"

After hearing this, Chu Jie not only did not get angry like Deng Changping, but she even showed a hint of interest in her eyes.

"It's almost 1984, and you're an old fogey still clinging to the old rules from before 1981."

"Nowadays, the government strongly supports individual businesses, so there's no such thing as speculation anymore."

"Zhennan Jiaojiao, Yanlin Qingluo, I'm going to Xujiaba with you this weekend."

"Why did you follow them to Xujiaba to join in the fun?"

After being scolded by Chu Jie, the dissatisfaction in Deng Changping's eyes lessened a little.

Chu Jie rolled her eyes at him.

"I used my own money to buy land and speculate with them."

"When Xujiaba is developed, I will sell the land to help my son get married."

"It's no use for you to object."

Deng Changping had no way to deal with Chu Jie and had to make concessions.

“Just buy a piece of land.”

"We're a military family, and if word gets out that we bought too much, people will gossip about us."

"Ok."

Deng Changping took the initiative to make concessions, and Chu Jie followed his wishes.

"But I have to invite Deying."

She was her best friend and her son's future mother-in-law, so she had to be invited to help with money-making matters.

"Zhennan Jiaojiao, Yanlin Luoluo, I'd like to invite the wife of Dean Lei of the Jiangcheng High-Tech Research Institute to go to Xujiaba with me this weekend to look at land. Do you have any objections?"

The four responded in unison: "No problem."

weekend.

Xie Zhennan borrowed a business jeep from the group.

A group of eight people took a jeep to Xujiaba.

"Jiaojiao girl, what you told me before really happened."

On the way to Xujiaba, Li Deying talked to Yun Jiaojiao about Zhu Meiyun and his wife looking for her.

"A while ago, your uncle Lei and I met Xu Guangping and Zhu Meiyun at the birthday party of Zhang Chunjiang, the director of your high-tech weapons research group. The couple was very deliberate in trying to get close to us."

"After the birthday banquet, our two families agreed to go to the park. As soon as we arrived, Zhu Meiyun told me that you seduced her son Xu Fuyang. She also said that you were a restless vixen who flirted with men everywhere."

"I bother."

After Li Deying finished speaking, Yun Jiaojiao was not angry, but Lin Qingluo and Qin Hanmei were so angry that one of them was rubbing his hands together as if he was going to fight Zhu Meiyu, while the other had a dark face and frowned.

Lin Qingluo: "No one in the Xu family is good."

"Confusing right and wrong and throwing dirty water on others is a common tactic used by the Xu family."

"Correct."

Qin Hanmei nodded and agreed with Lin Qingluo.

"I met Xu Fuyang once at Jiaojiao and Zhennan's wedding. It's obvious that he's fickle and unfaithful. Third sister doesn't want a man like him. Aunt Deying, don't believe a single word the Xu family says."

Li Deying: "Jiaojiao Zhennan, Xiaojie and his wife informed me in advance, so I naturally don't believe it."

"But I didn't have a falling out with the Xu couple that day."

"I'm afraid that if I fall out with the Xu couple, they might come up with other tricks to harm Jiaojiao and my husband, Lao Lei. We won't be able to defend ourselves then."

"I'll pretend to believe what they say and be friendly with them. Maybe I can even get some useful information out of them."

"Aunt Deying, you are so wise."

Lin Qingluo gave Li Deying a thumbs up with admiration.

"Ginger is still spicy when it's old."

"No, Aunt Deying looks like she's in her early thirties. Not old, not at all."

"Aunt Chu Jie isn't old either."

"The two aunts are ageless goddesses."

The description of the ageless goddess deeply touched the hearts of Chu Jie and Li Deying.

Li Deying took Chu Jie's hand and said cheerfully, "Captain Xiao's wife is really good at talking."

Chu Jie nodded. "That's right. These three girls are not only eloquent but also beautiful. Yanlin, Zhennan, and Zhao Biao are all more clumsy than the other, yet they all married delicate wives. Old Deng and I are both amazed. Especially Zhennan. Old Deng and I agree that with his personality, he should either obey the organization's arrangements and get married, or remain single for the rest of his life."

Li Deying: "This is called a fool's luck."

Xie Zhennan: “…”

Xiao Yanlin: "......"

Zhao Biao: “…”

Could you two aunts please give them some face in front of the female comrades?
