Song Zhizhi didn't understand Wen Renjie's meaning. That was the propaganda department, and all the military wives were eyeing it. Was this job not considered good?

"Wen Renjie, what do you mean?"

Today, Song Zhizhi went to the publicity department to look for a job. Previously, because of the quota issue, Song Zhizhi had gained some goodwill from Chu Yanhe.

So when Chu Yanhe learned that the publicity department was recruiting and that Song Zhizhi's educational background was suitable, she immediately came to find Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi must be working in the publicity department, or perhaps they're hiring for finance. She studied accounting before, which is a good fit for her major, and it's a respectable job.

Song Zhizhi wanted to give it a try, but it turned out that there were other people going with her.

Wen Renjie then asked him to give up his job to another military wife, but Song Zhizhi refused, which led to the scene just now.

"Zhizhi, I heard that the publicity department is all show and no substance; in reality, the people who go there are just responsible for cleaning."

"You can't write articles, you'd just be there to make up the numbers."

Song Zhizhi thought Wen Renjie was lying to her, but Wen Renjie told her to wait and see if she didn't believe him. Sure enough, two days later she went to ask the military wife again.

The military spouses have a relatively relaxed job in the propaganda department. They are mostly idle and have nothing to do except clean.

Moreover, she didn't know this beforehand; she only found out after she went there.

The head of the publicity department is difficult to get along with, and the relationships among colleagues are not as harmonious as they seem on the surface.

Where there are many people, there can be no peace. After listening to the woman's words, Song Zhizhi believed that Wen Renjie was doing it for his own good.

Realizing she had misunderstood him, Song Zhizhi decided to go home and cook a meal for Wen Renjie. He was right; she didn't want to make others feel bad over a little money.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhaozhao was already conceiving her next children's story, while Qi Hongmei's husband, Da Dong, got married in a hurry.

The woman has already moved in.

Seeing that Ye Zhaozhao hadn't left the house for several days because she was writing stories, Sun Xiuhua took her to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things that day.

The two men encountered Qi Hongmei and her son.

What's wrong with these two?

"It must be because the new bride's flaws have been exposed."

Sun Xiuhua said with a smile that Qi Hongmei spent a lot of money and effort and made many trips to marry this wife.

Qi Hongmei was furious. If she had known she would marry such a troublesome person, she would have chosen Xiaoling. At least that girl was honest and reliable.

"Mom, now it's all good. I told you Xiaoling is pretty. If other people knew, I wouldn't be able to hold my head up high."

Da Dong can only blame Qi Hongmei now. Qi Hongmei is also feeling bad, but what can she do now that the die is cast?

“Son, it would be best if she could have a child. If she can’t, Mom will help you get a divorce, and then you can marry a beautiful woman.”

Hearing this, Da Dong finally stopped making a fuss. He just hoped that the woman wouldn't be able to have children, so that he could divorce her and remarry.

Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua returned from the supply and marketing cooperative. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan ran over when they saw them, followed closely by the triplets.

"Mom, we want to eat your steamed sponge cake, can you make it for us?"

When Ye Zhaozhao has free time, she will make many of the pastries sold by the supply and marketing cooperative herself.

Over time, the children started telling her directly what they wanted to eat.

"Okay, Mom will make it for you."

Ye Zhaozhao sent the children off to play, took some eggs, white sugar, and flour, and started making sponge cakes. While Ye Zhaozhao was making the sponge cakes, Chu Yanhe arrived at the door.

"Zhaozhao, are you home?"

"Sister-in-law Chu, I'm home."

Knowing that someone was home, Chu Yanhe opened the door and came in. She had come to see Ye Zhaozhao today on official business.

She wanted to hold a tea party so that the new military wives and the existing family members could get to know each other.

"Sister-in-law Chu, no problem."

Upon hearing Chu Yanhe's request, Ye Zhaozhao agreed without hesitation.

It turned out that she had heard that Ye Zhaozhao was a good cook, so she thought she would ask her to bring some food to the tea party later.

Others will also bring things along. Everyone will attend these tea parties, and considering there will be quite a few people, Ye Zhaozhao plans to make some red date and yam cakes to bring.

There were still quite a few red dates left over from making zongzi during the last Dragon Boat Festival. On the day of the tea party, Ye Zhaozhao let the five children go out to play while she got busy.

The tea party will be in the afternoon, and it will be almost time by the time she finishes making the pastries.

Ye Zhaozhao took some pastries to find Sun Xiuhua to go with her, and looked at the exquisite pastries on Ye Zhaozhao's plate.

Sun Xiuhua felt she didn't have enough peanuts and melon seeds and wanted to go back to get some more, but Ye Zhaozhao stopped her.

"Sister-in-law Sun, the purpose of this gathering is just to get everyone together, not to go out for a meal."

Sun Xiuhua realized that this made sense, so she didn't go back.

When the two arrived, there were already quite a few people there. They saw Jin Mandong collecting the things that the military wives had brought.

Taking advantage of this, Jin Mandong stuffed a lot of food into her mouth, which Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua disapproved of.

Once everyone was present, the tea party began. Chu Yanhe stepped forward to host, as everyone was already familiar with each other since they had trained together before.

However, there were some people whose names she couldn't recall. After this experience, Ye Zhaozhao recognized everyone, and Qi Hongmei also came this time.

However, he huddled in a corner, ever since his family married that woman.

Qi Hongmei hasn't come out for a long time, and when she did come out today, she kept her head down.

Even when faced with everyone's food, she had no appetite. At this moment, a woman with a long face stepped forward and took out the meat she had cooked.

"What do you all think of my cooking?"

The woman said this, but a smug look flashed across her face, and Ye Zhaozhao instantly understood.

The woman brought out the meat because she wanted everyone to praise her cooking.

Everyone brought sunflower seeds, peanuts, candies, and the like when they came.
