Just as she was about to turn and walk towards her home, she heard Zhao Xique's voice calling from the right. Her voice was so recognizable.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going?" Wei Xiuqing turned around and greeted her, and at the same time nodded politely to the other two female comrades standing next to Zhao Xique.

"This little brat of mine insisted on coming down to play, so I brought him down for a walk. I was just about to go back to cook when I saw you. Are you out buying groceries?" Zhao Xique looked at the things Wei Xiuqing was holding in his hand and just mentioned it briefly without saying anything more.

Ever since she helped move things the day before yesterday, she knew that Su Shiqun and Wei Xiuqing were not short of money.

However, what she didn't expect was that although Comrade Su looked young, his position was not low. At least he was two levels higher than her husband Wang!

"Is this your daughter? She's so pretty!" Wei Xiuqing walked a few steps closer to Zhao Xique and the others, and looked down at the little girl who was looking at her with a silly and cute face.

Although the child's clothes were a bit old, they had no patches and were washed very cleanly.

The little girl's hair was tied into a small bun, and her cheeks were chubby, making her look very cute.

However, the other woman standing next to her was dressed very neatly, and it was obvious that her clothes were all newly made.

However, the little girl next to her was not only wearing patched clothes, but also looked dirty. Her little hands were so dark, and the backs of her hands were almost cracked, right?

The child kept sucking his fingers in his mouth, as if he was eating something delicious.

There was another woman next to Zhao Xique, who also had a child, but it was a boy. He was chubby and seemed very active. During the time they were talking, the child tried several times to break free from the woman's grip.

"Haha...yes, this is my daughter Niuniu, she is three years old this year.

Niuniu, say hello to your auntie! " Zhao Xique was so happy when she heard Wei Xiuqing say her daughter was pretty.

She immediately patted her daughter's head and called out to her daughter to say hello to Wei Xiuqing.

"Hello, Auntie!" Niuniu was very obedient. Maybe she was used to this kind of thing? After all, her mother was very familiar and enthusiastic.

Anyway, this kid greeted me very fluently, as if he had memorized it.

"Okay, Niuniu is so good!" Wei Xiuqing said, and took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to her.

Niu Niu sucked her saliva and took a look at the candy, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, she looked at her mother.

"Oh, Sister Xiuqing is too polite. Why do you need to give candy to a little girl? Take it back quickly." Although Wei Xiuqing took out fruit candy, looking at the colorful candy wrappers, she knew that this candy would definitely not be cheap.

She gave two at once. There are three children here. If she gave them to her child, the other two families couldn't just sit there and watch, right?

That's why Zhao Xique didn't let his own children have it.

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Isn't candy for children? I'm giving it to you because this is the first time I see you. You won't have this benefit the next time I see you." Wei Xiuqing said as she forcefully stuffed two candies into the child's little hands.

"Sister Xiuqing, you are really... If I had known, I wouldn't have called you." Zhao Xique felt a little embarrassed.

The day before yesterday, Wei Xiuqing gave her a very nice return gift, and today she even gave her children candy. She really felt a little guilty about this.

At the same time, she was secretly thinking that at noon, she would go to her own field to pick more vegetables and send them to her sister.

"Hey, sister-in-law, please introduce this girl to us. Otherwise, we will all live in the same family compound and see her every time without knowing her name. That would be so embarrassing!" The woman holding the boy reminded Zhao Xique with a smile.

"Oh, look at my stupid brain! I just called the girl over to introduce you to each other.

Come here, Xiuqing! This is Comrade Wang Baoli, and her son Baoer. They are the family of Zhang Jianguo, deputy commander of the Second Battalion of the Second Regiment. This is Cao Xiangqin, the family of Xu Hanshen, commander of the First Battalion of the First Regiment, and her daughter Daya.

You should have heard about this person in the past two days, right? The new commander of the first regiment, Su Shiqun, is married to Wei Xiuqing. They just got married and don't have any children yet.

As for the identities of Su Shiqun and Wei Xiuqing, she heard them from her husband after she returned that day.

It was only then that she realized how embarrassing she had been.

She actually asked the leader and his wife to call her sister-in-law. What became of her man then?

The titles in the army are not based on age, but on the man’s position.

So, even though Wei Xiuqing looked very young, these old people still had to call her sister-in-law, and they had to follow the way their men were addressing her.

"By the way, Xiuqing, I didn't know your and your husband's identities before, so I let you call me sister-in-law without any conscience.

When I got home and told my husband about it, he scolded me and told me that we should address others in the same way as men do.

So, from now on we will all call you sister-in-law, and you better stop calling us sister-in-law!"

Don't let other leaders hear it, or they will think they are too careless. It will be troublesome if it is extended to their own men.

"Ah?! Is there such a saying?" She really didn't know, and Su Shiqun hadn't told her about the twists and turns involved.

"Of course, I never tell lies." Zhao Xique swore solemnly, and then asked the other two people:

"Do you think so?"

"Sister Zhao is right. Sister Xiuqing, there is no need to feel embarrassed. Your man holds a high position, and you should be proud of it." Wang Baoli said with a smile.

"My sisters-in-law are right." Cao Xiangqin also said in a low voice, looking timid.

"Then I will call you by your names from now on. We are about the same age anyway, so there is no need to be so particular, right? Ms. Zhao Xique?" Wei Xiuqing said to Zhao Xique as if jokingly.

"Haha... I just like my sister-in-law's straightforward personality. We'll all be living in the same family compound from now on, so we'll definitely be closer than real sisters. Why would there be so many formalities?"

The women chatted for a while about children, men, etc., and Wei Xiuqing also gave two candies to Baoer and Daya respectively.

It is worth mentioning that Baoer took the two candies that belonged to him and ran away without a trace.

However, Cao Xiangqin took away Daya's two candies, saying that she could eat them after she finished her meal.

Wei Xiuqing had no way of knowing whether she would give the food to the child after dinner, and she didn't want to find out.
