Zhuo Jia transmigrated, becoming the pitiful Zhuo Jia in the 1970s, unloved and abandoned by her parents. She opened her eyes to the terrible news that she was about to be sent to the countryside. ...
Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Sending Heads Across Thousand Miles
Sun Jing followed Zhuo Jia and asked, "You haven't told me how old you are yet?"
She had to ask clearly, otherwise she really couldn't call her aunt.
Zhuo Jia paused, looked at Sun Jing and said, "If you keep talking, I'll go back."
She hadn't wanted to come down, but she hadn't expected Sun Jing to be so busy and talkative. She kept on talking for half an hour, a full half an hour, without stopping, and that was even without her reply...
Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and had to follow Sun Jing out, but the condition was that she shut up!
Hearing this, Sun Jing quickly covered her mouth and shook her head: "I won't ask anymore."
After she finished speaking, she rolled her eyes and decided not to ask. It would be the same if she asked her mother when she got home. Although her mother was not here on weekdays, she would definitely know about it, and her father would definitely tell her mother!
Zhuo Jia took a quick stroll downstairs and saw three different groups of family members whispering the same thing in different places. The reason they were talking about the same thing was because they were the main characters being discussed. Oh, and maybe Sun Jing too.
Anyway, when the two of them passed by, the sisters-in-law looked as if they were following them blatantly!
Sun Jing obviously noticed it, and she said impatiently, "I hate coming to the family compound the most. These people always say nonsense behind my back."
Really, she couldn’t understand why these people were so idle and why they were staring at her?
Before, he cared about her schooling, then he cared about her work, and now he is starting to care about her marriage. He really worries more than her parents.
Zhuo Jia coughed and said, "You have to understand, they don't have much to do on weekdays, so they just get together and chat."
Since she met Aunt Ding, she has accepted these things well.
Sun Jing was shocked. She looked at Zhuo Jia in disbelief and asked, "No, you don't mind people talking about you behind your back?"
She often sees fights caused by people talking bad about others behind their backs.
Zhuo Jia was very calm: "What's there to be angry about? If you think about it this way, who doesn't talk about others behind their backs, and who doesn't get talked about behind their backs? Look, aren't we talking about them now?"
Anyway, as long as it’s not mentioned in front of her, she will pretend to know nothing. But what if it is mentioned in front of her?
Oh, then she has to let the other party know how many eyes the Horse King has!
Sun Jing was completely speechless. Although this made sense, why did it sound so awkward?
Seeing that Sun Jing didn't say anything, Zhuo Jia didn't say anything either. Instead, she smiled and continued walking forward. When they met a group of children playing wildly, she and Sun Jing stopped at the same time.
Sun Jing blinked and said, "I think these children are cuter than adults."
"These kids may not be willing to play with us two." Zhuo Jia also said.
Nowadays, these children play skipping rope. They use a long hemp rope found from somewhere, and two people stand at both ends and swing it, while the other children jump in the middle.
You know what, the kids outside really know how to play. The kids in their team are still playing hide-and-seek, while these kids are jumping rope at night!
Sun Jing smiled. She took out a handful of candy from her pocket and hummed, "I have experience. I guarantee they'll be willing to play with us."
When she came to the family compound before, she also played with these children, so her secret weapon was already prepared.
Zhuo Jia looked at the candy in her hand, was silent for a moment, and also took out a handful of candy from her pocket: "Here, this is mine."
The two looked at each other again and said nothing more. It turned out that in some cases, they were the same kind of people!
Sun Jing coughed and said, "Put yours away and save it for tomorrow."
The candies she had were enough for two per person, and adding Zhuo Jia's, it would be a bit too much.
"Yeah." Zhuo Jia nodded and put her candy in her pocket.
Then I watched Sun Jing take the candy and go talk to the children. Soon, the children happily accepted the candy. Then Sun Jing waved at her and said with a smile, "Come on!"
Zhuo Jia rushed up without hesitation. The two of them lined up with the other children. When the rope was swung up, they followed the children and joined in when they saw the opportunity!
When other people in the family compound went home or passed by here, they saw two adults having more fun than the children. At that moment, everyone was silent.
Then, before it even got dark, the news that these two people were playing skipping rope with the child spread throughout the entire family compound!
One sister-in-law couldn't help but say in surprise: "Sun Jing was the only one playing with the children in the family compound before, but I didn't expect that she would have a companion now."
She took a special look when she passed by. She was smiling happily. Who could tell who was happier, the child or the adult?
"How can they be the same? Sun Jing is not married anyway. Even if she is not married, she has a child. But Deputy Captain Qiao's partner is different." A woman said with a pout.
Married people are adults and elders. How can they play with children and not be afraid of being laughed at?
Hearing this, everyone else looked silently at the woman who was speaking. She was Han Zhaodi, the daughter of Captain Zeng. She was best at flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, so many people were unwilling to play with her because she offended people with her words without realizing it.
The sister-in-law who started talking rolled her eyes, stood up and said, "You go play with children, and the children don't want to play with you. It's a skill for others to let children play with her."
After saying this, he stood up and left.
She hated Han Zhaodi the most. She knew nothing but pretended to know a lot every day. It was so annoying!
Han Zhaodi was furious. She chuckled and said, "This Chen Yue, who does she think she is every day? I don't have that ability, but does she?"
The others just watched Han Zhaodi gossiping, and after a few glances at each other, they left silently. They didn't understand, Han Zhaodi obviously didn't dare to offend anyone, so how could she dare to say bad things about this person and that person behind their backs?
Seeing that everyone had left, Han Zhaodi became even angrier. She stomped her feet and went back in a hurry. If Captain Sun's daughter had not been there, she would have taken her own children away no matter what and would never let them play with Deputy Captain Sun's family.
…
"No, no, I don't want to play anymore." Zhuo Jia said, panting.
She is really tired and hot now!
Sun Jing hadn't had enough fun yet, so she quickly said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Play with me for a while longer."
She hadn't played skipping rope for a long time. No one played with it when she was at home. Of course, she didn't bother to bribe the children with candy, otherwise, cough cough, the gossip of the old ladies would drown her.
It’s better to live in the staff housing complex. She can do whatever she wants. Even if someone has objections behind her back, no one dares to say it to her for the sake of her father.
Seeing that Sun Jing was so excited, Zhuo Jia had no choice but to stand below and continue to accompany her. Of course, she couldn't just stand there, so she went to swing the rope for one of the girls and let the other children play.
I swung the rope with one hand and rubbed my waist with the other. You know what, skipping rope is really tiring!
After Sun Jing finally finished dancing, before Zhuo Jia could tell them to leave, she saw that Sun Jing had already made plans with other children to continue playing tomorrow. Zhuo Jia: "..."
She really should let her mother-in-law and sister-in-law see that there are people who love to play more than her!
"You really don't mind being tired." On the way back, Zhuo Jia couldn't help but say enviously.
She is only 19 this Chinese New Year, does that mean she is old?
No way!
Sun Jing wiped the sweat off her face and said excitedly, "Why are you tired? I'm just playing, not working."
On the contrary, she felt that playing with children was the easiest thing. She didn't have to use her brain, she just had to follow along.
Zhuo Jia was silent after hearing this, then nodded in agreement: "You're right, this isn't work."
Even though she hadn't worked in the fields for a long time, and only for a few days, she was still so tired...
I really don’t want to experience it again!
Sun Jing said with a smile: "Let's continue tomorrow, I'll find you when I get back."
Now that she has someone to keep her company, she is quite happy.
Zhuo Jia waved her hands and said, "Tomorrow morning is not possible. I need to rest. Come back to me tomorrow afternoon."
She still wants to live a little longer, and she came to the family compound to visit relatives and to rest, not to work herself to death!
Sun Jing: “…”
She looked at Zhuo Jia with disdain and said unhappily, "Your health is not good."
What else could Zhuo Jia say except keep smiling? She just hoped that Comrade Sun Jing could still say such words after getting married!
Back home, Zhuo Jia poured hot water, looked for malted milk, and finally sat on a chair with the cup in hand, motionless. From now on, her only concern was to empty herself...
When Qiao Anchuan came back, he saw Zhuo Jia asleep on a chair in the living room. He turned on the light and said, "Why did you fall asleep in the living room? If you're tired, go inside and sleep. Don't get cold."
He came in and felt it. Fortunately, because the room was bright and there was a stove on, it was not as cold as he had imagined.
Zhuo Jia yawned and said a little embarrassedly, "I didn't intend to sleep at first, but I fell asleep while sitting!"
Who would have thought that I would fall asleep while relaxing myself!
After washing her hands, she took out the dishes and chopsticks. Well, Comrade Qiao Anchuan came back with food. Because he came back late today, he didn't cook it himself.
While eating, Zhuo Jia casually asked, "By the way, have you taken out the food in the suitcase? Don't let it go bad in the suitcase."
That's all her mother-in-law's love.
Qiao Anchuan nodded: "I took them out and hung them on the balcony in a basket. You may not have seen them."
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She was a little unconvinced, so she went to the balcony to take a look, and then walked back silently. It was no wonder that she couldn't see it, because it was really hanging higher than her.
How should I put it? Her sister-in-law hung the delicious food like this. She had asked once, and her sister-in-law said to hang it higher to prevent Qiao Wei and the other three from stealing it, so...
Is Qiao Anchuan afraid that she will cheat on him?
Thinking of this, she looked at Qiao Anchuan with a strange look in her eyes. She squinted her eyes and asked, "Why are you hanging it so high?"
If you answer even one word incorrectly, Qiao Anchuan will have to sleep on the balcony with Lan Zi tonight!
Although Qiao Anchuan thought this was fine, the sudden sense of crisis made him say cautiously, "I'm afraid that if I come home late one day, you won't be able to resist cooking, so I'll hang the food higher in advance so you don't have to cook!"
In fact, it is hung high because we are afraid of mice!
But his intuition told him that he must not mention mice at this time, otherwise Jia Jia might be angry. After all, no lesbian likes mice!
I can only say that sometimes intuition is really important!
After dinner, Zhuo Jia put on a thick cotton jacket and stood at the kitchen door waiting for Qiao Anchuan to wash the dishes. After he finished washing, the two of them went out together. After dinner, they went out for a walk to help digest the food!
While strolling outside, I met a few little girls who played skipping rope with me in the afternoon. When they saw Zhuo Jia, they called her "sister" affectionately. Well, although we just met today, since we played together, we are good friends.
Qiao Anchuan watched the girls walk away, then turned and asked Zhuo Jia, "Why are they calling you sister?"
The most important thing is, those kids call Jia Jia sister, but call him uncle. Is this appropriate?
Zhuo Jia smiled and said naturally, "I'm only about ten years older than them. What's wrong with calling me sister?"
She didn't think there was anything wrong at all!
Qiao Anchuan gritted his teeth and said, "But they call me uncle!"
This is the biggest problem!
Zhuo Jia was stunned for a moment. She took two quick steps, turned around and looked at Qiao Anchuan until he felt uncomfortable looking at her. Then she smiled and said, "It's okay. Next time I see them, I'll ask them to call you brother."
Hahaha, I really didn’t expect that Qiao Anchuan still cares about this.
Qiao Anchuan, who cared about the address, refused without a second thought: "No, that won't work. If they call me brother, how can I work with their father in the future?"
He didn't want to be treated as inferior in front of those people for no reason!
Zhuo Jia put her hands behind her back and asked, "Then tell me, what do you want to do?"
As she spoke, she touched her face with her hand. There was nothing she could do about it; she was just so young and beautiful. It was true that children had sharp eyes.
Qiao Anchuan said gloomily, "Next time, let them call you aunt."
Anyway, I can’t call her sister, it sounds weird to him!
And if other people heard this, they would definitely criticize him and say that he was an old cow eating young grass!
Zhuo Jia suppressed her laughter and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll tell them tomorrow when I play with them."
Hey, even Comrade Qiao Anchuan, who is such a good-tempered person, is getting angry. She should stop saying anything about deliberately angering him!
The angry Comrade Qiao Anchuan was a very easy-going person, and a smile appeared on his face when he heard this.
Because they were outside, although the two walked very close, they still kept a certain distance. Of course, this did not prevent them from whispering to each other.
"The family compound looks pretty good." Zhuo Jia said in a low voice.
Except for the inconvenience of going to the city, everything else is good. There are not too few people, and most importantly, it is safe!
Qiao Anchuan chuckled, "Actually, there weren't so many people here before. In the new family compound, which is where we live now, before it was built, there were only people in the old family compound. Many of them only came here to join the army this year."
Before, everything was really inconvenient. Many sisters-in-law would live here for a while and then have to leave. There was no other way. Adults could stay here, but children couldn't because they needed to go to school.
However, these are gradually improving. For example, the problem with the school has now been solved. Children from the family compound, including children from nearby brigades, all come to the school here to attend.
Zhuo Jia was a little surprised: "Won't there be more people next time I come?"
Then next time she comes to visit her relatives, won’t she have to stay in a guesthouse?
"There will definitely be more." Qiao Anchuan said with certainty. As if he could see what she was thinking, he approached Zhuo Jia and said, "Maybe you can join the army next time you come."
Jia Jia is thinking about visiting him next time, so he has to do his best!
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She felt that it was okay for her to come here and live for a while, but if they wanted her to live here, she felt that she would not be happy about it, after all, there was no mother-in-law and sister-in-law here!
Just seeing Mrs. Xie and her family of three coming towards her, she quickly poked Qiao Anchuan: "Your leader."
Qiao Anchuan, who was about to continue speaking, subconsciously looked up when he heard this, but before he could say anything, Sun Jing ran over with a look of surprise and greeted him: "Zhuo Jia, what a coincidence, you are out for a stroll too. Oh, Uncle Qiao, hello."
Qiao Anchuan was silent for a moment and ignored Sun Jing: "...Thank you, sister-in-law, Captain Sun."
Take this unwelcome girl of yours away immediately!
Zhuo Jia suppressed her laughter and greeted Sun Jing, then called out to the smiling Sister Xie, "Sister Xie, Captain Sun."
Hahaha, she was laughing to death. Just for these two names of Sun Jing, I wonder how uncomfortable Comrade Qiao Anchuan must be.
Sun Jing didn't care. She pushed Qiao Anchuan aside, stood next to Zhuo Jia and said affectionately, "I was thinking of calling you as well, but I didn't expect to meet you outside. It seems like we are destined to be together."
She was just like those other kids. In her eyes, Zhuo Jia was her good friend because she jumped rope with her.
Zhuo Jia glanced at Qiao Anchuan, who looked resentful, and said with a light cough, "The family compound is so small, it's normal for us to meet."
But don't talk about fate or not, she is only destined to be with Comrade Qiao Anchuan!
Xie Lian wanted to sigh. How come her daughter has grown up so much, but she doesn’t understand how to read other people’s expressions at all?
She quickly said, "Jingjing, stop bothering your aunt and come here quickly. We should go home."
Really, she had heard from Old Sun that Deputy Battalion Commander Qiao and his wife had returned to the team not long after their marriage. Now they finally met and they looked like newlyweds. What a silly girl she was!
Hearing the word "Auntie", Sun Jing asked in shock: "Mom, what auntie? Zhuo Jia is only two years older than me!"
Asking her to call someone two years older than her "Auntie", is her mother crazy or is she crazy?
Besides, can't we just talk about our own things?
In the end, Sun Jing left reluctantly. There was nothing she could do. She was not afraid of her mother, but she was afraid of her father. So she was unhappy when she left. Of course, even so, it did not affect her appointment with Zhuo Jia to meet tomorrow.
After Captain Sun and his family left, Qiao Anchuan's expression finally looked better, but not very good. He looked at Zhuo Jia and said aggrievedly, "Jia Jia, let's go home too. We won't be traveling anymore."
Why is he still turning around? His daughter-in-law is of a different generation than him. Go home!
Looking at Qiao Anchuan's slightly darkened face, Zhuo Jia didn't really want to go home right now. She felt that if she went home now, she would definitely be in trouble, but...
Who made Qiao Anchuan look aggrieved? She agreed out of softness!
…
Zhuo Jia woke up even later today. When she woke up, she heard some noise outside. She took a look and everything went dark. Qiao Anchuan had already come back to make lunch, and she hadn't even gotten out of bed yet, let alone had breakfast!
What a sin she has committed! She is sending herself to death!
She struggled to get up from the bed, moved around a little, and then felt that she could walk normally, so she walked to the kitchen angrily.
Hearing the noise, Qiao Anchuan turned around and said with a smile, "He's awake. It's time for lunch."
Well, he has to be more natural, otherwise Jia Jia will only feel more uncomfortable.
However, Zhujia didn't feel uncomfortable. She was just angry and said angrily, "Qiao Anchuan, do you know how to control yourself? Be careful of sudden death!"
You sleep so late at night and get up so early in the morning, yet you still have the energy to toss and turn. You really want to die!
Qiao Anchuan smiled foolishly: "Jia Jia, don't worry, I'm in good health and won't die suddenly at all."
Humph, he has to use his actual actions to let Jia Jia know that he, an old cow, is not old at all!
Zhuo Jia became even angrier. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about myself."
She was worried that she would die suddenly!
Seeing her like this, Qiao Anchuan touched his nose unnaturally and quickly changed the subject: "Well, hurry up and wash up. We'll have lunch now. I'll stew the fish you brought."
But I can't make Jia Jia angry, otherwise what if she doesn't want to come to see him next time?
Zhuo Jia was still very angry, but when she heard that there was stewed fish today, her anger immediately subsided. There was nothing she could do, because she loved to eat it.
But even though she loved eating, before washing up, she still warned Qiao Anchuan fiercely: "If you continue to do this, I will kick you out to sleep."
I'll embarrass you and bring shame upon you!
Although Qiao Anchuan thought his wife was very cute, he was really upset by these harsh words. After all, it would be humiliating if his wife was not at home, but it would be embarrassing for him to live in the dormitory when his wife came!
Alas, he thought with some regret, it seems I have to be more restrained from now on!
Before eating, Zhuo Jia drank a bowl of fish soup first. Needless to say, the chicken soup the day before yesterday and the fish soup today were both delicious!
After eating and drinking, Zhuo Jia looked at Qiao Anchuan's dark circles and said unhappily, "Go get some sleep. I'll go wash the dishes."
Qiao Anchuan stared at such a face parading around in public. She didn't even dare to think about what people would say. In any case, it would definitely have an impact on her reputation!
Qiao Anchuan wanted to wash the dishes and didn't want Jia Jia to do it, but Jia Jia looked really bad, so he had to go to bed, looking back every few steps.
Looking at Qiao Anchuan's back, Zhuo Jia sighed and went to wash up resignedly. How does the saying go, feeling sorry for a man is the beginning of all misfortunes, and now she is very unfortunate!
Unfortunate Zhuo Jia washed the pots and pans, took off her apron and went for a nap. Although she had just woken up not long ago, a nap was necessary and the two could not be confused.
…
Zhuo Jia woke up again, awakened by the sound of Sun Jing knocking on the door. She touched the seat next to her and found it cold. She didn't know when Qiao Anchuan left.
She put on her cotton jacket, yawned, and walked out, saying, "I'm coming."
It has to be said that Sun Jing is really impatient. She is worried that if she speaks up too late, the door will be taken down by Sun Jing.
Seeing her, Sun Jing said angrily: "What are you doing at home? Why did you take so long to open the door?"
If anyone else dared to make her wait at the door for so long, she would definitely break up with that person. But Zhuo Jia was different. This was a friend she had made with great difficulty and who suited her taste. She couldn't be angry, she couldn't be angry!
Zhuo Jia sat on the chair and drank water slowly: "I'm taking a nap. I just woke up. Didn't you take a nap?"
After she finishes drinking this water, she will feel refreshed.
Sun Jing frowned and said, "It's winter, and we get up late in the morning. Why are we taking a nap?"
She never takes a nap in winter!
"We're different, though. I take a nap all year round," Zhuo Jia said, half-closed eyes. Without a nap, she felt like something was missing. For example, when she went to the county before, as long as there was enough time, she would take a nap when she came back.
Sun Jing: “…”
I have to say, this is really idle. Taking a nap all year round, is this something that most people can do?
Sun Jing, who felt she couldn't do it, continued to urge: "Hurry up and drink. When I came to find you, I saw that the kids had already started playing."
And this afternoon they were playing with sandbags, which she hadn't played with for a long time.
Zhuo Jia pretended not to hear the urging. She continued to walk slowly, finished the water in the cup, took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."
I finally feel energetic and want to go out and play!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry." Sun Jing ran to the door quickly and waited for Zhuo Jia to come out. She then helped close the door.
Zhuo Jia looked at and touched her pocket, looked at the locked door, looked at Sun Jing who was still urging her, and looked at the locked door again.
"Why don't you leave?" Sun Jing asked in confusion.
Zhuo Jia sighed: "I forgot to take something."
"Then open the door and go back to get it." Sun Jing said naturally.
Zhuo Jia tried to keep smiling: "I forgot to bring my keys."
Sun Jing: “……!!!”
She looked at her right hand in disbelief. If she remembered correctly, it seemed that she was the one who closed the door just now.
She swallowed hard, couldn't help but hide her hands behind her back, and said with a wry smile, "Well, it's okay. Let's go to my house after we're done playing, and you can go home when Uncle Qiao comes back."
Behind her, she slapped her right hand hard with her left hand and told her to be quick. Now it's okay.
Zhuo Jia nodded: "That's the only way. Let's go downstairs and play."
Since I can’t go home now, I might as well have fun.
So the two carefree people just went down and happily joined the children playing with sandbags!
Other military wives in the family compound: “…”
How should I put it? When I saw it yesterday, I found it hard to imagine. But when I saw it again today, it suddenly wasn’t so hard to accept!
Habits are so terrible!
Because Zhuo Jia didn't bring her keys, she had to follow Sun Jing home, so the two of them played outside for a little longer.
When walking towards Sun Jing's house, Sun Jing still felt a little guilty: "Well, usually my dad and Uncle Qiao come back at about the same time. When I come back, you can go home later. You will definitely be able to go back."
Her mother is right. When will she change her impetuous temper?
Zhuo Jia nodded calmly: "I know."
Anyway, she had nothing to do at home, so it didn't matter if she stayed at Sun Jing for a while. But it would be embarrassing to go empty-handed!
Sun Jing still felt guilty. She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's a little late to wait for Uncle Qiao to come back and cook. So why don't you and Uncle Qiao have dinner at my house tonight?"
At the end of her speech, Sun Jing's eyes lit up and she thought her idea was good.
But when Zhuo Jia heard this, she was thinking: Qiao Anchuan was the one who went home to cook before!
She coughed and said, "It's okay, it's not too late."
Not only do you go to someone's house empty-handed, but you also have to stay there for dinner?
She felt that she was not so shameless!
Sun Jing didn't say anything else, but she was thinking in her heart that when she got home she would ask her mother to cook two more meals. Alas, it was all her fault.
When she arrived at Sun's house, Zhuo Jia saw Sister Xie cleaning the yard. She greeted her politely, "Hello, Sister Xie."
Xie Lian heard someone coming in. She thought it was her daughter, so she didn't turn around. But when she heard Zhuo Jia's voice, she quickly turned around and saw Zhuo Jia smiling and said, "Jia Jia is here. Come in and sit down."
After saying that, she couldn't help laughing. It was no wonder that her daughter Jingjing couldn't call her aunt. It was really because Zhuo Jia was too young. Not only was she young, she was also very well-behaved!
Sun Jing said beside her, "Mom, I carefully locked Zhuo Jia's key at home. It will be too late for Zhuo Jia to go back and cook after Uncle Qiao opens the door. Please make more food tonight and let Zhuo Jia and the others eat at our house tonight."
As for Zhuo Jia's disagreement, hey, that's because Zhuo Jia doesn't know how passionate her mother is. Anyway, her mother has never lost in this kind of thing!
Sure enough, Xie Lian quickly said after hearing this: "You're right, Jia Jia, you and Deputy Battalion Commander Qiao should have dinner at home tonight."
She was not surprised at all that her daughter locked someone else's keys at home. This was something her daughter could do!
Zhuo Jia quickly shook her head: "No, no, we usually cook late at home, so we always wait for Qiao Anchuan to come back before cooking."
No one is rich nowadays, so how can you eat at someone else's house?
After hearing her words, Xie Lian and her daughter fell silent. They suspected that they had heard wrongly.
Sun Jing even asked from the side: "You just said, who cooks in your family?"
She seriously suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. Uncle Qiao, that was Qiao Anchuan, the one who could cook. He didn't look like him at all!
Zhuo Jia rolled her eyes and pursed her lips as she said, "Sometimes Qiao Anchuan does it, and sometimes I go to the cafeteria to get food."
Well, it’s not that she doesn’t know how to cook, but her cooking isn’t as delicious as Qiao Anchuan’s!
Sun Jing: “…”
If she remembered correctly, today was only Zhuo Jia's third day in the family compound. There was still time, any time.
Her mother always says that she is lucky and that she doesn't have to do anything and just eat ready-made food at home. She thinks her mother will never say that again in the future because there are people who are luckier than her. She can't even guarantee that she won't have to cook after getting married!
"Do you cook at home?" Sun Jing asked out of curiosity.
If Zhuo Jia doesn't cook at home, then she will ask Uncle Qiao if he has any brothers, or nephews will be fine too!
Zhuo Jia glanced at Sun Jing strangely: "Of course I will do it, otherwise what will I eat?"
What a joke, if she doesn’t cook at home, will she starve?
Sun Jing was a little disappointed: "Oh, I thought it was your mother-in-law who did it."
She also thought that Zhuo Jia could set an example for her, so that when she got married in the future, she would let her mother-in-law do it as well. What a pity.
Zhuo Jia spoke frankly: "We separated a long time ago. Qiao Anchuan is not at home, and I am the only one at home."
So Zhuo Jia repeated her mother-in-law's original words, and this time, Sun Jing was even more envious.
Sun Jing looked at her mother and asked, "Mom, what do you think about me finding a mother-in-law like this?"
Yes, she is no longer thinking about finding a partner. She wants to find a mother-in-law like this, so that they can separate after marriage and then she can continue to go back to her parents' home for dinner.
Xie Lian said expressionlessly: "I think it's fine, as long as you can find it."
Anyway, she doesn't have that ability!
Sun Jing: “…”
Forget it, she will never find it in this lifetime on her own!
She looked at Zhuo Jia enviously and said, "Your mother-in-law is so good to you."
"My mother-in-law is really nice." Zhuo Jia nodded in agreement.
If you praise her, she may need to be humble, but if you praise her mother-in-law or her sister-in-law, she doesn't need to be humble at all!
Xie Lian watched as the two of them quickly started talking to each other again. She couldn't help but smile and shake her head. To be honest, she now understood why Jingjing liked playing with Zhuo Jia so much. It was because the two of them had some similarities in their personalities, but one was more obvious in expression and the other was more reserved!
Soon Xie Lian went to cook, while Zhuo Jia and Sun Jing were talking outside. As for the unfinished work in the yard, the two of them couldn't see it. There was nothing they could do about it, they were not born to be diligent people.
When Captain Sun came back and saw Zhuo Jia chatting with his daughter, he was still shocked: Could his daughter be so easy to talk to?
Seeing Captain Sun, Zhuo Jia quickly stood up and said, "Captain Sun is back, I have to go."
Qiao Anchuan must have gone home. He must be very worried if he couldn't find her.
Sun Jing quickly grabbed him and said, "Why are you leaving? We agreed to have dinner at my house today. Dad, go call Uncle Qiao and tell him we're having dinner at our house today."
She hasn't talked enough with Zhuo Jia!
Captain Sun nodded and said, "Okay, you two continue playing. I'll go get some help."
It was the first time his daughter invited people to dinner at home, so he would definitely support her.
Zhuo Jia's eyes widened. She wanted to go out, but was stopped by Sun Jing. Xie Lian came out of the kitchen and said, "I've prepared the meal. It would be a waste if you two don't eat here."
She and her husband Sun had the same idea. It was a rare opportunity for their daughter to have a friend, and she invited her friends to dinner at home, so they would definitely support it.

Zhuo Jia: "..."

Sun Jing nodded vigorously: "You are right, I will start looking for it now."
She had to find someone who was more diligent because she felt she was even lazier than Zhuo Jia.
However, the two families had not finished their meal when they heard a commotion outside. Zhuo Jia and Sun Jing looked at each other, put down their bowls and ran out.
Others: “…”
