Chapter 152: Little Heartless

Li Yiyi recalled the salary that Jiang Hong handed in on the night she first arrived, and it seemed to have been paid out just a few days ago.

"I remember they just paid the salary a few days ago. How come it's gone so soon?"

"I did have a little on me, but that was for the family's food, clothing and other expenses for this month. The money from my hometown had been transferred to me a long time ago, but they said it was not enough to compensate. People there thought he was so powerful here, but they had no idea that he had to support a whole family with just one salary. They had no idea how hard it was for him." Jia Chunhua said, wiping away tears.

Seeing this, Li Yiyi quickly took a piece of paper to wipe her tears, "What did Deputy Battalion Commander Xu say?"

"What else could he say? He just wanted me to save the money at home and send it back to my hometown." Speaking of this, Jia Chunhua was so angry.

At this point, Jia Chunhua immediately stopped the topic and said, "Hey, sister-in-law Jiang, why am I telling you this? I can worry about this kind of thing by myself, so don't take it to heart."

Li Yiyi smiled and suddenly asked, "Sister Chunhua, after you came here with the army, didn't they arrange any work for you?"

"There is a job arranged for me, but I am illiterate and can barely read. In addition, more and more military wives have come to follow the army in recent years, but there are only a few jobs available. It won't be my turn. I have been here for several years and I look forward to a job every year, but in the end, it all goes to waste."

"So little?" she murmured when she heard this.

Jia Chunhua then remembered that she had just arrived here. If her words made others want to go back to their hometown, then she would be committing a serious sin.

"It's not that there are few, it's just that there are few choices for us uneducated people. For someone like you, Jiang Dimei, who is educated, there must be a job waiting for you to choose." She quickly changed her words.

Li Yiyi was amused by her words. After listening to Sister Chunhua's words, she suddenly made a bold decision in her mind.

However, this decision still requires Jiang Hong's help.

The two chatted in the yard until it was almost time for lunch, and then Jia Chunhua took her two sons back home.

Seeing that the two children were having fun in the yard, Li Yiyi locked the gate and went back to the kitchen to make lunch with peace of mind.

For lunch, she cooked a pot of white rice, and the dishes were a plate of sweet and sour pork and a plate of vegetables.

She had just finished cooking when Jiang Hong, who had just gone out for training, rushed home covered in sweat.

Looking at the meal that had just been prepared in the house, he found his wife in the kitchen.

"I originally wanted to come back and tell you that you don't need to make lunch, I can just go to the cafeteria to get it, but it seems it's too late." He grabbed her hands and held them gently and said.

Li Yiyi smiled and said to him, "What's wrong? Don't you want to eat the food I cooked?"

Jiang Hong smiled helplessly and raised his hand to gently scratch her nose, "You little heartless girl, I did this because I feel sorry for you being tired."

Li Yiyi smiled and grabbed his hand, and suddenly said, "Let's eat first. After dinner, I want to ask you about something."

Jiang Hong raised his eyebrows when he heard it, but before he could ask what was going on, he let her pull him out of the kitchen.

The family of four sat at the dining table eating lunch. Li Yiyi didn't have to worry about the two little ones at all. She just had to pick up the food for them and they would eat it all up bit by bit by themselves.

"Wife, you just said that you wanted to ask me what I think about something. What is it?" After Jiang Hong took a few bites, he couldn't help but think of the question his wife had just asked.

Li Yiyi also noticed that he was not paying attention while eating, so she continued, "What do you think about me applying to the team to set up a medicinal material processing factory? This will not only provide the team with an additional source of income, but also solve the employment problems of some of the military wives in the family."

Hearing this, Jiang Hong stopped what he was doing and looked at his wife seriously. "Wife, how did you think of this? Is it because you don't have enough money?"

Li Yiyi smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I have enough money on me."

Jiang Hong nodded with relief, picked up a piece of her favorite dish with chopsticks and put it in her bowl before saying, "Okay, I'll talk to the chief about this."

"Wait for me." At this moment, Li Yiyi immediately put down the dishes in her hands and ran towards the room.

Jiang Hong opened his mouth to tell her to finish her meal, but before the words came to his lips, she had already run quite far away. In the end, he had to swallow the words back into his stomach and started to use his chopsticks to put food into her bowl.

Li Yiyi ran out of the room with a plan. As soon as she sat down, she saw that her bowl was piled with vegetables as high as a mountain.

"Don't give me any food. I can't finish all the food." She put the plan in front of him and said, "This is a plan I wrote today for a medicinal material processing factory. When you report this matter, take this plan with you. This way, the chances of success may be better."

Jiang Hong opened it and took a few glances. It detailed the benefits of opening a medicinal material processing factory, and each item was very clear.

"Okay, I'll send it over this afternoon." He closed the plan, picked up the chopsticks she had just put down and stuffed them into her hands, "Eat first, even if something big has happened."

Next to them, the two siblings finished the food in their bowls.

At this time, the two siblings looked towards Jiang Hong with serious expressions.

"Dad, we have something to ask you." Jiang Yueyue asked like a little adult.

Jiang Hong heard his daughter's voice, and like a daughter slave, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and asked with a smile, "Okay, Dad is listening, you talk."

Jiang Yueyue pouted and asked unhappily, "Dad, why did my brother and I wake up in the next room?"

When Jiang Hong heard his daughter's question, the smile on his handsome face froze immediately. He was at a loss as to whether he should stop smiling or not.

Li Yiyi, who was standing by, saw how frustrated he was and turned around to gloat over his misfortune.

Jiang Hong hurriedly looked towards his wife, asking her for help, but his wife didn't even look at him.

Helplessly, he had to bite the bullet and answer his daughter's question, "Well, that's because you and your brother sleepwalked last night. You walked over there by yourselves, and there was nothing your father could do."

"Sleepwalking?" Jiang Xiaobao bit the two words, his little eyes full of unfamiliarity with these two words.

Jiang Hong nodded quickly, "Yes, you were sleepwalking. You don't know what sleepwalking is, right? It's something you do after you fall asleep, so you don't remember it."

After hearing his explanation, the brother and sister's innocent eyes were filled with feelings of being deceived.

Li Yiyi looked at her two children who looked so gullible, and the smile on her lips grew wider and wider. She thought to herself, if these two siblings had been to kindergarten, they might not have been fooled by their father's extremely fake explanation.
