Chapter 17 She is determined to get a divorce, but he can’t stop her from growing up.

He originally wanted to come back and ask her what happened when she went to the bathroom, and thought she was in trouble.

Now it seems that there is no trouble, he is just overthinking.

He had helped wash Jiang Mengning's clothes a lot in the past.

Now she didn't expect that she would wash it herself.

Originally, he wanted to go in and help.

In the end, he stood there without moving.

Jiang Mengning was determined to get a divorce, so she wanted to learn basic life skills.

That's fine, otherwise if she leaves here, he's really afraid that she won't be able to complete even the most basic tasks of washing and cooking.

He can't stop people from growing.

Huo Jinyan looked at it for a while, then turned and left.

Jiang Mengning spent a lot of effort washing and drying the clothes.

Looking at the clothes I washed, I still feel a sense of accomplishment.

Look, she's not useless, she can work.

When she was doing laundry just now, the little guy had been squatting next to her, looking so cute and adorable, and he was so well-behaved.

I went to get some candies for Nian Nian.

"Niannian, mommy is going out for a trip later. You don't want to run around at home, you know?"

"Where is mom going?"

"Back mountain, I have something to do when I go up the mountain."

"Can Nian Nian go?"

"No, it's dangerous on the mountain. Can Nian Nian stay at home?"

The little guy nodded: "Okay mom, Nian Nian is obedient."

She won't pester her mother, she will do whatever her mother says.

Jiang Mengning touched her little head, took the small basket, put on her wide hat and prepared to leave.

"Niannian, do you know if you should lock the door at home?"

She patiently told Nian Nian to close the door at home and not open the door to anyone she didn't know.

"Okay mom, Nian Nian will be good."

The little guy ate sweets and said goodbye to his mother.

Jiang Mengning closed the door, carried the basket, and walked out of the army gate.

It occurred to her that she didn't know where the cacti was.

That's right, she's going to find a cactus.

There is a kind of bug called cochineal that grows on the cactus. The cochineal bug turns red after grinding, which is an excellent raw material for making lipstick.

The color of lipstick relies on cochineal insects.

She turned back and asked the soldier standing guard: "Please tell me where there are cacti nearby. The more the better."

Her face was hidden under the hat, fair and pink.

The eyes are bright and big, and the eyelashes are fluttering. They are so beautiful.

I don't know what was used on her body, but you can smell a faint fragrance when you get close.

The soldier being questioned gave her a stiff military salute: "There are many of them on the south side of the mountain."

Jiang Mengning smiled and waved to the soldier: "Thank you, handsome boy."

All the soldiers in the army are good-looking! You can see those young and tender faces everywhere, they are youthful and energetic, which is a pleasure to look at.

Jiang Mengning hummed a little tune and walked up the mountain with the basket in hand.

The soldier didn't even dare to look at her back as she walked away. For some reason, he always felt that her fragrance still lingered in the air. His face suddenly turned red, and even his ears were spared.

"Ahem." A cough came from beside him.

The soldier looked back and saw Political Commissar Zhou standing nearby, examining him.

The man in his forties had eyes as sharp as a hawk.

Startled, he quickly saluted.

"political commissar."

Political Commissar Zhou walked up to the soldier with his hands behind his back. Looking at his expression, he hesitated to speak.

Then he looked towards the direction Jiang Mengning left and asked, "Is that your group leader's wife just now?"

"yes!"

Political Commissar Zhou looked at the young soldier again and taught him a serious lesson: "You have never seen a woman. It's not shameful for your face to turn red like this when I say a word to you."
