Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook
Chapter 465 22 Military Service in the 60s
Nie Shenyuan looked around for a long time before finally getting up.
This night was even harder to endure than the previous few days, to the point that Nie Shenyuan considered whether he should quickly find someone to make another bed.
Of course, this thought only flashed through my mind for a moment.
By the time Nie Shenyuan had changed his clothes and was about to leave, Xie Qingyu had also woken up.
"You don't need to bring food back later. I'll just eat something simple. There are vegetables at home." Xie Qingyu didn't get up, but just lay on the bed looking at Nie Shenyuan, saying sleepily.
"Okay, I'll heat up the pancakes for you before I leave, so you can eat them when you get up." Nie Shenyuan readily agreed.
Xie Qingyu was probably woken up by the sound of Nie Shenyuan getting up. She mumbled a few words in a daze and then fell asleep again.
Before leaving, Nie Shenyuan watched her fall asleep again and closed the door before leaving. He only remembered the name he had chosen for Tuanzi yesterday when he was halfway there. He had originally planned to come back and discuss it with Xie Qingyu to see which name was better, but various things had delayed him and he had forgotten about it.
Let's wait until tomorrow; he has a more important matter to deal with right now.
Nie Shenyuan didn't come back this morning, so he just ate something to make do.
Xie Qingyu took another nap before getting up. She hadn't slept well the night before and had woken up several times. She took advantage of Nie Shenyuan's absence to catch up on some sleep.
After getting up, I ate some simple flatbread with salted duck eggs and made some malted milk powder for Tuanzi.
After finishing his meal, Tuanzi started playing with the straw weaving he had made yesterday. He had probably learned a little bit, but he was too young and weak, and his fingers were not very obedient. He couldn't do many of the parts that needed to be folded in properly, but he didn't give up at all. He would take out the ones he had bought and take them apart.
Xie Qingyu just needed to make sure he didn't hurt her.
While the mother and son were relaxing, someone came to their door.
The first to arrive was Xiao Qin, who lived to the left of Xie Qingyu, very close by.
She brought a bag of sunflower seeds with her, and as soon as she got to the table, she shared a handful with Xie Qingyu. "I heard you had Liu Chunhong apologize to you yesterday?"
Xiao Qin's face was full of excitement, as if she wanted to hear the details.
"Did it all reach your ears?" Xie Qingyu asked.
“I overheard some of the women I met this morning, they were on their way to the market and they were gossiping. I don’t want to talk to them. Tell me quickly, I want to know how you are so amazing that you can make that idiot apologize to you.”
Xiao Qin was very curious.
Xie Qingyu didn't expect this kind of thing to spread so far, but she was in the right, so it didn't matter if she spoke out.
After Xie Qingyu recounted the story, Xiao Qin's eyes practically lit up.
"You don't know, she's such a chatterbox, so annoying, and shameless. There's no way to deal with her. Even when Sister-in-law Lu talked to her, it didn't work. I never thought you could get her to apologize."
"Isn't there anyone who can control her?" Xie Qingyu was a little confused.
"To put it bluntly, she's just a bit gossipy, and she generally doesn't talk about anything too sensitive or sensitive. Most of the women here are from the city, so they don't really get along with her," Xiao Qin said to Xie Qingyu while cracking sunflower seeds. "And do you know why she was so rude to you this time? She's Yu Lingling's cousin-in-law."
Xie Qingyu was somewhat surprised.
Yu Lingling's family has connections, and so does her cousin, yet he married someone like Liu Chunhong.
"One year during the flood relief efforts, her husband went to participate in the rescue and saved her. She then became attached to him, making a scene by saying that he had ruined her reputation by hugging her during the rescue. She even took the matter to the military base. At the time, Yu Lingling had some family matters to attend to, so she couldn't pay attention and they got married. Hmph." Xiao Qin knew the inside story and spilled it all at once.
"I suspect that making things difficult for you this time is partly Yu Lingling's doing. She hasn't been well-liked since marrying into the family, and she's always been trying to get on Yu Lingling's good side. I guess she's trying to use you to curry favor with Yu Lingling this time." Although Xiao Qin didn't seem very bright, her analysis of this kind of thing was quite insightful.
"So that's how it is." Xie Qingyu finally understood.
"You're already very good. I can't even win an argument with her." Xiao Qin pouted. She disliked Liu Chunhong the most, but unfortunately, she couldn't win against her.
“It’s the kind of thing she said that you can’t joke about,” Xie Qingyu said with a smile.
"Anyway, everyone's saying you're not someone to mess with now, so I guess no one will be so foolish as to cause you trouble in the future." Xiao Qin said with a hint of envy.
Before the two of them could exchange more than a few words, another person arrived.
These days, it's not common to close the courtyard gate. After Sister Lu arrived, she came straight in and was a little surprised to see Xiao Qin there.
"Sister-in-law is here, please have a seat," Xie Qingyu greeted.
"Are you making clothes for Tuanzi?" Aunt Lu asked, looking at the fabric in Xie Qingyu's hands.
"We are planning to do that. He's growing so fast that his clothes are getting too small." Xie Qingyu was holding fabric she had bought when she went out earlier, which she had originally intended to cut up today.
"That's true, kids grow so fast, and their clothes get worn out quickly, so a lot of fabric is used up." Aunt Lu touched the fabric. "It's good material."
"He's young, so we didn't use much fabric," Xie Qingyu said with a smile. "Why did you come over, sister-in-law?"
Aunt Lu looked embarrassed at first before asking, "Did Liu Chunhong say anything unpleasant yesterday?"
When Xie Qingyu heard her ask this, the smile on her face faded a bit, and her expression became somewhat unpleasant. "It's like this, I didn't expect that there would be such a person among the wives of soldiers. If I heard such words outside, I would suspect that she is one of the people who like to report others."
Xie Qingyu's righteous words silenced what Sister Lu was about to say.
“She really shouldn’t have done that. I already talked to her about it today, and I hope you won’t take it to heart. That’s just her temper. I doubt she’ll ever do it again.” Aunt Lu was actually quite tired because she had to mediate these kinds of things with Liu Chunhong almost every now and then.
"Anyway, that's my temper too. I told her yesterday that if there's a next time, I'll definitely do as I say." Xie Qingyu said coldly.
"Okay, I know, you're great." Sister-in-law Lu's words were absolutely sincere.
If only there were more women like Xie Qingyu who could keep Liu Chunhong in check.
Aunt Lu originally came to comfort Xie Qingyu, but seeing that she was doing well and didn't seem to be affected by the incident or want to pursue it, she felt a little relieved and started teaching Xie Qingyu how to sew children's clothes.
When Xiaoqin learned that Xie Qingyu's family hadn't bought a sewing machine yet, she warmly invited her to her home to sew.
The two stayed there all morning, and didn't go home to cook until almost noon.
