Chapter 74 Wandering

"Here he comes, here he comes. Why are you rushing me, little brat? It's not dark yet, why are you in such a hurry?" Mother Zhao was tidying up the house. When she heard her youngest son urging her, she hurried out.

"Mom, let's go out for a walk together," Tang Yue quickly tried to divert her mother-in-law's attention.

When Zhao's mother heard her daughter-in-law asking her to come around, she immediately agreed happily, "Hey, my daughter-in-law speaks nicely, unlike that brat. The more I look at him, the more I dislike him."

"Mom, I'm not your old son anymore. You can't stop being your son just because I have a daughter-in-law," Zhao Shengrui pretended to be aggrieved.

"I already have a daughter-in-law, and now I have grandchildren in my belly. Why are you still here, old son? Lock the door. My daughter-in-law and I are walking slowly. You should hurry up and follow us," Zhao's mother deliberately teased her old son.

When Tang Yue first came, she didn't pay attention to the scenery outside. Now, the most noticeable thing is that the distance between the houses is at most 20 meters. This is very good. The distance between each house is just right, so that the neighbors will not know about trivial matters immediately.

Tang Yue noticed that the houses were built along the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, there were not many such houses. Most people's houses were on the flat ground below, with big trees on the side. It was like a gathering place for gossip in the village?

The mother-in-law took Tang Yue's hand and went down to the big tree.

"Captain Zhao, we have brought your mother and wife here. How are they? Can they adapt to this place?"

"Hello, sister-in-law, mom, my wife, this is Sister Xiujuan, the wife of Li Weiguo, the battalion commander." Zhao Shengrui knew that his wife and mother didn't know anyone here, so he quickly introduced them.

Tang Yue called out, "Hello, Sister Xiujuan, my name is Tang Yue."

"Well, well, Captain Zhao is so lucky to have married such a beautiful wife. Now the whole army has heard that you are pregnant with quadruplets. Everyone is so envious. Everyone has been looking forward to your coming and wants to see the legendary quadruplets."

After Sister Xiujuan finished speaking, she turned to Zhao's mother and said, "Auntie, you are so lucky. There will be a bunch of grandchildren calling you grandma in the future."

Zhao's mother was also very happy, she thought praising her daughter-in-law was equivalent to praising herself, "Thank you for your good words, I just want a granddaughter. My family already has eight grandsons. It depends on whether my daughter-in-law can make my wish come true this time."

"Oh, auntie, I really envy you. You already have eight grandchildren, and with these quadruplets, I can't even count them on one hand. If those aunties in the family compound who can't tell their sons scolding their wives every day knew about this, they would be so envious and jealous. I'm envious too," said sister-in-law Xiujuan. The preference for boys over girls is everywhere. The girls in the family compound above were tortured by their mothers-in-law, but fortunately they didn't dare to torture them too severely, because if they did, the army would ask their husbands to come for a talk.

"What are you envious of? You are so young, yet you are so eager to hold your grandchildren," Tang Yue watched her mother-in-law and sister-in-law Xiujuan interacting with each other.

"It's almost time. My eldest son is already 15 years old. Auntie, sister Tangyue, let me introduce you to these girls over here," Sister Xiujuan talked for a long time and finally knew how to introduce the girls behind her. The girls behind her had been trying to talk to her but couldn't.

"This is Lanxiang, the wife of Ye Xiangbei, the deputy battalion commander of the First Battalion. This is Meihua, the wife of Lin Jianjun, the third battalion commander. From now on, you can just call them sister-in-law."

"Hello sister-in-law, are there only a few of you in this military region? It seems that there are very few family members accompanying the army," Tang Yue was a little curious.

"We have deputy battalion commanders and battalion commanders living with the troops on this side. There is a family compound not far from the entrance to the garrison. There are family buildings over there, and the families of company commanders live over there. It's too noisy with too many people, so it's better to be close to us here. There are only a few of us and a few sisters-in-law of the regiment commanders. They won't live together with us over there," Sister-in-law Xiujuan introduced to everyone.

Tang Yue understood it instantly. The company commanders were together, the battalion commanders were in a group, and the regiment commanders were on the other side. It seemed that everyone was assigned to a regiment according to their rank. It seemed that whether Zhao Shengrui could reach the regiment commander level by then depended on how hard he worked.

"Sister-in-law, I just saw a big house over there. There aren't many people there, so there must be a lot of empty houses. It's a waste to leave them there empty." Tang Yue was referring to the one she had just seen when she came out.

Sister-in-law Xiujuan smiled and said, "How can it be empty? In addition to the soldiers on the front line, there are other people in the army, such as doctors and nurses in the hospital, and some civilian workers in charge of logistics. You will know when you get familiar with it."

Sister Lanxiang next to us saw that we had almost finished talking, so she came over and said, "Sister Tangyue, I'm very curious about how you got pregnant with quadruplets. Do you have any secret recipe?"

"Yes, yes, it's really amazing. You have never heard of it, and you don't know it. Ever since the rumor that you were coming, everyone has been waiting for you to come. They just want to ask you if you have any secret recipe for having a son. No matter whether anyone has a son or not, they are all very curious," said Sister Meihua.

This made Tang Yue at a loss for words. She did have a secret recipe for having twins, but she had no intention of using it. She refused directly, "I really don't have any secret recipe. There is a precedent of twins in my mother-in-law's family. For example, my first sister-in-law and third sister-in-law both gave birth to twin boys. If your family has this precedent, it is still possible to have twins."

The sisters-in-law were very disappointed when they heard this. This was an inheritance from their ancestors. If it was just taking medicine, they could still try their best, but there was nothing they could do about this physical condition passed down from their ancestors.

"Auntie, I really envy you. Your family has such a good physique. It would be a pity if Sister Tang Yue didn't have more children. Don't waste such a good physique," Sister Lanxiang said regretfully. Fortunately, she recovered after a while. In her own words, I didn't get what I wanted but everyone didn't get what they wanted, so I felt much better.

Mother Zhao was very happy to be praised by others. She also felt that she was blessed, otherwise her family would not have specifically given birth to a boy, although she wanted a girl more. "Everyone is blessed and has lived to this day. Those who are not blessed will not live to this age."

"You guys chat, I'll take my wife for a walk." Zhao Shengrui didn't get involved in the conversation, but supported his wife and walked slowly.

"Yueyue, I'll go with you," Zhao's mother shouted hurriedly when she saw her daughter-in-law and son leaving.

"Mom, you stay here and chat with my sisters-in-law. I'll go with my wife. Don't worry, everything will be fine. I will follow my wife everywhere." Zhao Shengrui finally had the chance to be alone with his wife, so how could he let his mother, a big light bulb, follow him?

Mother Zhao could see what her youngest son was thinking, "Okay, keep an eye on your wife and don't let anyone bump into her."

"I got it," Zhao Shengrui happily took his wife away.
