Old Mrs. Tao was cowardly and troublesome. After her husband died in middle age, she raised three ungrateful sons, helping them get married and have children. In her old age, no one took care of he...
When Jiang Huan came out, Tao Ying had already heated up the food and placed it outside.
There wasn't much rice, just two bowls.
Jiang Huan's hair was still dripping wet, but he wasn't worried about catching a cold in this weather.
He sat down and started eating heartily. "Wife, your cooking is amazing, it smells so good!" Jiang Huan praised loudly.
Tao Ying poured Jiang Huan a glass of water without saying anything else.
Jiang Huan ate like he was grabbing food, wolfing it down and finishing it all in less than ten minutes.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Huan cleared the table and washed the dishes.
Then they started pressing the well and filled the large vat in the house.
Tao Ying waited for a while, but no one came in. She was a little disappointed, thinking that he was getting old and didn't want to do that anymore.
He couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't say anything.
Jiang Huan came in and saw Tao Ying making the bed. He immediately wrapped his arms around Tao Ying's waist from behind and said, "Wife, I've missed you so much."
What does it mean to feel like three autumns have passed since you last saw each other?
Newlyweds
The roof will catch fire when it gets dark.
A major battle was about to break out, and Tao Ying didn't know how many times she had been up and how late she had been up.
In the end, his voice became hoarse, and he couldn't even lift his fingers.
I don't even know when I fell asleep.
When I woke up in the morning, I felt refreshed, but my body felt like it was falling apart.
He cursed Jiang Huan under his breath before struggling to get up.
There was steamed egg custard and millet porridge in the pot.
After a quick wash and breakfast, I opened the front door.
As soon as I stood at the door, I heard a group of people chirping crickets.
Tao Ying didn't care. She glanced at it and said to be honest, this place was really not that great.
Gu Cuier secretly spat and whispered bad things about Tao Ying to the person next to her.
Tao Ying made cabbage stew with rice noodles for dinner.
Jiang Huan returned carrying a lunchbox and immediately smelled the delicious aroma of the food.
"Honey, why are you cooking? It's my fault for not telling you this morning that I'd bring dinner back." Jiang Huan said with some remorse.
Jiang Huan asked Tao Ying to come over, but he never intended for Tao Ying to take care of him.
My wife came here to keep me company, not to do chores.
"I can make something simple, but I don't know how to steam buns," Tao Ying said, asking Jiang Huan to open the lunchbox.
Inside was braised pork belly with potatoes, which was mostly fatty meat; the second dish was stir-fried zucchini with eggs.
There's also a box of mixed rice.
“Then I’ll bring back some steamed buns tomorrow, but I don’t know how to steam them,” Jiang Huan said softly.
"Don't bother getting any more food, I'll cook something myself. I don't like the food from your army." Tao Ying nodded.
"I'll take you sightseeing when I have a day off," Jiang Huan said with some guilt.
I took too many days off before, so it's harder to take more now.
"You don't need to come with me. I can drive myself. It's only a little over three hours to drive from here to Shanghai. I'll go visit my sister-in-law in a few days." Tao Ying had checked the route before she came.
"Looking for Second Sister-in-law?! That means she won't be back for several days?!" Jiang Huan broke down.
Why bother looking for my second sister-in-law? Isn't she always unpopular?
Why do my wife and my second sister-in-law get along so well?
"I'll stay at home for a few days before coming back. I'm not going back for the next few days." Tao Ying is already tired of staying here.
I'm just used to being busy, and suddenly having nothing to do is just too much for me to handle.
Tao Ying also disliked those gossipy women at the door.
I feel like in a few days everyone in this compound will be talking badly about me.
"Wife, I can't bear to part with you." Jiang Huan hugged Tao Ying and acted coquettishly.
"Oh my god, what's going on here!" Gu Cuier shouted from the doorway.
Although she said that, her gaze did not leave the two of them.
"Commander Jiang, I didn't know about you two. We just came to bring some peaches for your wife. She didn't like the pickles and scallions we brought last time," Zhang Mei said from the side.
"What's wrong with us? Explain yourselves! Whose family are you? Do I even know you? You've been coming to my house every day for three days now. What do you want? Do you want to move in?" Tao Ying was furious. She walked over and looked at the group with a serious expression. Instead of lowering her voice, she raised it.
Recently, many people from the military unit have returned home, and it just so happens to be mealtime, so many people are at home.
Wang Xiumei was cooking when she heard the noise and rushed over.
Zhou Bing was playing with the children when he saw his wife run out, so he quickly picked up his youngest son and followed her out.
Zhou Bing knew that Wang Xiumei didn't like to join in the fun, and fearing that she would suffer a loss, he quickly chased after her.
Many people from the neighborhood also came out.
The main reason is that everyone is too curious about Tao Ying.
"Sister-in-law, we just meant well." Zhang Mei didn't expect Tao Ying to act this way even though Jiang Huan was home.
“That’s right, sister-in-law, why are you so eccentric?” Gu Cui’er shouted at the top of her lungs.
"You come to my house and call me a jerk? Who do you think you are?" Tao Ying had no intention of saving face for the two of them.
You can't back down from shameless people like that. Even if you're more capable than them, you're not afraid to save face. They're the ones who should be afraid. But if you get scared, or don't want to lose face or cause trouble, then you've already lost.
"Commander Jiang, it's all my fault. On the first day my sister-in-law came, I brought her a pot of peaches, and on the second day she gave me a pot of meat and vegetables. They started clinging to her like that," Wang Xiumei hurriedly ran in and explained loudly.
Wang Xiumei is now filled with regret, having caused her sister-in-law so much trouble.
"Xiumei, you don't need to apologize, and you don't need to apologize to Commander Jiang. The person you're dating is me, Tao Ying. It's my freedom to give the things to whomever I want. I just don't want their things, and I don't want to give them to either of them," Tao Ying interrupted Wang Xiumei's explanation.
Jiang Huan understood and walked over. "Zhou Bing, whose relatives are they?"
"Reporting to the commander, it's Ding Yong, Fang Hui's family member." Zhou Bing's legs trembled with fear.
Our new guild leader is the most ruthless; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to manage the entire guild so well in just a few months.
No one dared to disagree or slack off.
"Have Ding Yong and Fang come back to me tomorrow," Jiang Huan said coldly.
"Commander Jiang, this is a matter for us women, what does it have to do with men?" Gu Cuier immediately became anxious.
"How can you govern the world if you can't even sweep your own house? If you can't even afford to feed your loved one a meal of meat and vegetables, and you shamelessly go around begging from others, what kind of battalion commander are you?" Jiang Huan said with a serious expression.
"Commander, how could you swear at people?" Zhang Mei couldn't take it anymore.
“I’m stating the facts. You two dared to openly cause trouble in front of me, so you can’t cause trouble in the family compound. Ding Yong and Fang Hui must know what kind of people you are. If they know and still condone it, then there’s something wrong with your character and conduct,” Jiang Huan said with a cold face.
“Zhou Bing, don’t you know what they did? Your wife did nothing wrong, so why should she apologize? We are here to protect the people, and our wives are also part of the people. Just because you are a political commissar doesn’t mean your wife has to suffer with you.” Jiang Huan looked at Zhou Bing sternly.
