Qin Jiang and Qin Liang slept on the floor in the living room of Qin Shuangshuang's house all night. When they got up early the next morning, they had breakfast and went to meet Sister Yao at the army gate to prepare to take the army's supply truck to Haicheng.
Qin Shuangshuang and Li Yuan saw them out and watched Qin Liang and Qin Jiang get into the car and leave before going home.
Qin Shuangshuang had no classes in the morning and had two classes in the afternoon.
On their way back, the two happened to meet Yang Tianhe and Chen Zhuzhu. Li Yuan was stunned, but Qin Shuangshuang ignored them.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Yang Tianhe smiled and nodded to Li Yuan as a greeting.
There is nothing else, I really don’t know what to say.
Although he had been engaged to Qin Shuangshuang for many years, he rarely went back, saw Li Yuan only rarely, and never talked to her at all. He simply didn't say anything.
Chen Zhuzhu raised her chin high, glanced at Li Yuan, and walked straight past without even a smile.
Li Yuan rolled her eyes at her and took her daughter back.
She couldn't be bothered to care about these shameless people.
Her son-in-law is much more capable than Yang Tianhe, and he is also considerate in his conduct. He got married and bought all the relatives and friends in the family.
Who wouldn't say her daughter is lucky when she sees her?
In a blink of an eye, the final exam is here, school is on holiday, and then comes the Chinese New Year.
The troops will prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and after the meal there will be a cultural performance to watch.
The army holds this event every year, and both Li Yuan and Qin Shuangshuang participated in it for the first time.
The military wives sat at the same table, all with smiles on their faces. The first batch of handwork has been handed in and the money has been received. How can I not be happy?
The military wives who do business in the town also earn a lot, especially Liu Shuying's family. The changes are even more obvious. This year, everyone in the family made new clothes, and all the foreign debts they borrowed have been paid off.
The army’s New Year’s Eve dinner was as simple as ever, with everyone gathering together to eat dumplings.
First, the division commander He Zhijun said a few words, and then deputy division commander Chen said a few words, and everyone started eating.
The dumplings are all put in a washbasin, and the stuffing of cabbage and pork is enough.
As soon as the dumplings arrived, Li Yuan and Qin Shuangshuang's bowls were snatched away by other military wives.
"The first bowl in our house should be given to our sister and our aunt. If the aunt hadn't worked hard to give birth to our sister, we wouldn't be so lucky to follow her to make money and live a good life."
"Yes, yes, the first bowl of dumplings is for our sister and aunt."
Li Yuan stood up, a little embarrassed: "I'll do it by myself, I'll do it by myself."
"Mom! Sit down and let the sisters-in-law pretend for you. You're welcome."
"That's right! It's rare for us to get together to have a meal. Madam, just sit down and wait to eat."
Two large bowls of dumplings were placed in front of Li Yuan and Qin Shuangshuang, and then the military wives began to take action.
Qin Shuangshuang ate very much. In fact, she couldn't eat such a big bowl. Her sisters-in-law had to give her so much. It was hard to refuse their kindness, so she had to eat.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone went to watch a performance by the cultural troupe. This was a habit in previous years, and the military wives were already familiar with the routine.
He took Qin Shuangshuang and Li Yuan to find a seat and sat down, waiting for the leader to come.
We have to stay up late on New Year's Eve, and everyone doesn't go to bed that early. The troops don't have much entertainment, so the people from the art troupe come in handy.
Li Yuan watched the performance for the first time and was a little nervous. She stayed with her daughter from beginning to end. At home she was a mother, but here she felt like a child.
Deputy Commander Chen is in charge of logistics. Before the performance begins, he goes on stage to speak, speaking loudly.
Qin Shuangshuang didn't listen to a word and was talking to Lu Xiaozhen and Liu Shuying next to them.
It wasn't until Deputy Commander Chen called her name that she listened carefully.
"I would like to take this good opportunity tonight to commend a military sister-in-law. Her name is Qin Shuangshuang. Because of her efforts, the sisters-in-law in our family home have their own ways of making money. We express our gratitude to her with warm applause. Thanks!"
"Bah bang bang!"
"Clatter!"
The wave of applause immediately overwhelmed everyone.
Chen Zhuzhu, who was backstage at the art troupe, looked very ugly after hearing this. This hateful Qin Shuangshuang was in the spotlight as soon as he came to the family home, which was really irritating.
In the past, the sisters-in-law in the family home all wore flattering smiles when they saw her. Now, although they smile when they see her, there is no hint of humility and envy in their smiles.
It made her extremely uncomfortable. This was all caused by that hateful woman Qin Shuangshuang.
If she hadn't led the sisters-in-law in her family's courtyard to work to earn money, they would have smiled humbly when they saw her, just like before.
The sisters-in-law in the family home always compare her with Qin Shuangshuang privately, saying that apart from her good background, she can't compare to that woman from the countryside.
Xu Aihua told her this. I believe she won't lie and deceive, so it must be true.
Military wives: "..."
We didn't say anything like that, but what Xu Aihua said is right, and we won't refute it.
Tonight she was going to let all her sisters-in-law see clearly that not only was she born better than Qin Shuangshuang, but her profession was also unmatched by Qin Shuangshuang.
If you don't believe it, let's try it tonight. She must let all her sisters-in-law see the difference between them.
Chen Zhuzhu called the announcer over and said something in his ear. The announcer was stunned.
"Comrade Chen! This item is not on my program list. If the regiment leader finds out, he will be punished."
Chen Zhuzhu disagreed: "No matter how big the matter is, if the leader comes to you, just say it was arranged by me."
The announcer did not dare to say anything. Chen Zhuzhu was the daughter of Deputy Commander Chen, who was the regimental commander's immediate boss. Can he, a small announcer, stop Chen Zhuzhu from wanting to tease people?
Stop being funny.
If he dares not to do what she says, it's hard to say what will happen to him next.
Forget it, he'd better compromise! If anything happens, just leave it to Chen Zhuzhu.
It's not like he wants to punish the military wife, it's none of his business.
Why don't you just tell the story? No matter how big the problem was, he would just report it. If there was any problem, just go to Comrade Chen.
"No, then we have to make an agreement. If that military wife refuses to come on stage, then it's none of my business."
Chen Zhuzhu smiled with sarcasm: "It's just that she doesn't dare to come on stage. What I want is that she doesn't dare to come up."
The announcer wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "That's good. I'm only responsible for announcing the curtain. The rest is up to the military wife."
"Of course." Chen Zhuzhu glanced at the announcer as if he was seeing a good show and patted him on the shoulder, "Why are you nervous about such a small thing? You don't have to take risks. Just do your job well and leave the rest to me."
Announcer: "..."
You said it lightly, but Deputy Commander Shen is not at home. Does he want you to have the guts to torment his wife?
"Yes, I understand."
The announcer said something against his will, and stood aside, looking at the program list in his hand, thinking about where to put Chen Zhuzhu's request.
The program had just begun, so it would be more appropriate to do it halfway through. He made a reminder on the program list. After the previous program was completed, follow Chen Zhuzhu's instructions.
