Jiang Baige was weeding the vegetable garden under the courtyard wall. When she heard what the neighbors were saying, she pricked up her ears and listened for a few words. After hearing their conversation clearly, she pouted unhappily.

He secretly cursed Chen Jianguo, calling him a big bastard who had learned to cheat on him behind his back.

She grumbled unhappily, "I told you that men with good-looking faces are unreliable!" Sure enough, they are unreliable.

We're not even married yet! And now he's already cheating on me.

Jiang Baige was muttering and cursing. It would be a lie to say she wasn't angry, so when she was pulling out the weeds, she thought they were Chen Jianguo's hair.

He pulled it out while muttering.

"I told you not to cheat on me, I told you not to meet any woman other than me, get out of here!"

Chen Jianguo, who was checking cases in the office, suddenly sneezed and his ears felt very hot.

I touched my ears and wondered if my little partner was thinking about me.

Whenever he thought of something, the corners of his mouth would rise.

Erzhu saw the captain grinning and asked jokingly, "Captain, are you missing your sister-in-law?"

When Chen Jianguo heard his joking remarks, he threw the notebook in his hand at his head.

"You kid, I think you're just going to get beaten up."

"Also, don't yell like that outside of here. If they hear you, it'll look terrible."

Erzhu took the notebook his captain handed over and agreed with a smile, "Okay, okay, okay. Got it."

While they were talking, a figure flashed past the gate of the Armed Forces Department.

Erzhu raised his head and motioned for Chen Jianguo to look. "Captain, are you familiar with that salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative? I saw she was here again."

When Chen Jianguo looked out, there was no one at the door.

He said, "Don't talk nonsense. I only know your sister-in-law. The others have nothing to do with me."

What salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative? He thought about it for a while and only remembered a female comrade he met on the road two days ago.

What did the female comrade say? He thought about it and remembered that the female comrade said she was his cousin's niece.

The female comrade said in a very familiar manner that they were relatives.

Chen Jianguo thought of this and laughed foolishly. This person had nothing to do with him, so he continued with the work in his hands without caring.

Liu Yuhua had lunch at her uncle's house before leaving. When she left, she did not forget to give Zhou Xiuying some advice.

"Aunt, if a girl comes to see my cousin while he's at work, tell her to stay away so she doesn't gossip about him."

She also understood her niece. Once she liked something, she would do everything she could to get it.

She hesitated to speak.

Even if she didn't say it, Zhou Xiuying would still remind her son to be careful about his words and actions outside and stay away from other female comrades.

Zhou Xiuying didn't expect that her guess was right. He suddenly came to propose marriage today, and there was no reason to mention his son. It was probably because the girl fell in love with her son Jianguo that she asked her niece to propose marriage.

When Chen Defu returned from the commune, he saw his wife waiting for him at the door.

I laughed and teased her: "Oh, you are so enthusiastic today, are you trying to see how much I can sell it for?"

Zhou Xiuying didn't answer him. Seeing him riding a bicycle, she took the basket of sugar without hesitation.

I hurriedly said to him, "Dad, go call Jianguo back. I have something to talk to him about."

Chen Defu was puzzled. "Why are you looking for Jianguo at this time? Besides, I just got back and haven't had a sip of hot water yet. I'm dying of thirst. Pour me a bowl of water first."

Zhou Xiuying hurried into the house to pour him some water: "Wait, I'll get it for you."

Chen Defu felt that his wife was a little strange today, so he smiled and said, "I want a big bowl."

Zhou Xiuying came over and said, hurriedly handing it to his mouth.

"Drink quickly, is there really something wrong?"

Chen Defu had no choice but to drink the water in the bowl and explain something.

"I'm going! There's a letter in the basket. It's from Comrade Jiang next door. Please give it to her when you have time."

Zhou Xiuying nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send it to her right away."

At this time, she didn't understand the whole thing yet and she felt too ashamed to see Bai Ge.

After Chen Defu left, Zhou Xiuying gritted her teeth and took the letter to the next door.

He snorted and said, "What has this brat done?"

Jiang Baige and Grandma Meng were eating the fried sweet potato balls in the kitchen. The small balls were made of sweet potato and glutinous rice flour. Although they didn’t look very good, they tasted good.

It was soft, sticky, sweet and fragrant, and so delicious. Even though it was a little mushy, she still liked to eat it.

There are still a lot of dumplings left in the basin, and Grandma Meng is rolling them into balls.

Jiang Baige blew a piece of it cool and fed it to Grandma Meng, then asked, "How does it taste?"

Grandma Meng chewed it for a few times and complained, "The fire is too strong. I'll fry the next pot properly."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and Jiang Baige wiped her hands with a towel.

He agreed: "I am coming, I am coming."

Today, because of what happened with Chen Jianguo, she was angry, but she couldn't go hungry. The angrier she was, the more appetite she had.

She turns her grief and anger into appetite and never lets herself be wronged.

As long as she is full, she forgets everything.

Now she almost forgot who Chen Jianguo was.

When he opened the door, Jiang Baige saw Zhou Xiuying at the door and asked with a smile.

"Auntie, you're here. Come inside and sit down."

Zhou Xiuying doesn't come here often, so when someone comes to her house, she will definitely invite them in to sit down.

Zhou Xiuying looked at her and her face turned happy.

He smiled and said, "No need, I just came to deliver a letter to you. Look, it's from home!"

Jiang Baige took the letter and saw that she was about to leave, so she pulled her back and stopped her from leaving.

"Auntie, we are making delicious food here. It's better to come at the right time than to come early. Come in and try it."

While talking, he pulled people into the house.

No matter what Chen Jianguo did outside, Aunt Zhou was still good to her. Even if they were no longer together, Zhou Xiuying was still her aunt and Chen Jiaojiao was still her sister.

Zhou Xiuying didn’t know what they were cooking, but since they were already there, she decided to try it.

They came to the kitchen and saw Grandma Meng kneading sweet potato balls behind the stove.

Zhou Xiuying asked: "Auntie, what are you doing?"

Grandma Meng's expression did not show much joy, and she even looked a little reproachful.

"My little girl is greedy and wants to eat sweet potato dumplings. She doesn't know how to make them herself, so she asked me, a blind old woman, to make them for her."

Her expression of both pampering and blaming made it clear to everyone that she was very willing to do this.

A blind, lonely old lady, followed by a little girl, is very happy to be able to fill her stomach in her old age.

Zhou Xiuying thought about it and was really happy for her.

She said, "I haven't eaten sweet potato dumplings yet!"

Someone asked, "Where do the sweet potatoes come from at this time?"

Jiang Baige placed a bowl of freshly fried sweet potato balls on the small table. She had bought them in the county town last time.

"Auntie, please try it."
