Tang Xiuyuan and Zheng Hongjuan didn't want to go find Tang's mother, so they naturally stayed to pester Tang Qiyue.
Fortunately, the two of them were very sensible. When the children came back from school, Tang Xiuyuan, as their uncle, would naturally go out with them to have fun.
Zheng Hongjuan was busy in the kitchen with Tang Qiyue.
In recent years, Tang Qiuyue has rarely gone to the kitchen to cook, and only cooks when she is not busy.
This time it was also a spur of the moment decision. It was rare that Zheng Hongjuan and Tang Xiuyuan both had time to come, and Zhan Chunying was already married and was busy at her new home today so she couldn't come.
Every time Zheng Hongjuan sees Tang Qiuyue cooking, she feels deeply moved.
"Sister, how on earth do you manage to be so beautiful and cook so deliciously?"
In Zheng Hongjuan's mind, beautiful women are generally arrogant and will not easily go into the kitchen.
Who would have thought that Tang Qiyue was not spoiled by Zhan Zeye. Although she rarely cooked, it was not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't have time.
Tang Qiyue knew that Zheng Hongjuan was not complimenting her, she just really thought so, but she still reminded her.
"Uncle Wang's cooking is even better. If you have time, you can come over and eat more often!"
Zheng Hongjuan shook her head: "No, I'm afraid of my mother-in-law. Although she won't be mean to me, I always feel like I'm going to be affected when I get close to her recently. She's more scary than my sister!"
When Zheng Hongjuan mentioned this, she sighed, "Speaking of which, my sister's mood has been very unstable recently. Is she the same as my mother-in-law?"
Zheng Hongxia is indeed not young anymore, and with the pressure of work and the children's affairs, she is really worried.
If it means that I have entered menopause, it shouldn’t be the case yet, but it’s hard to say.
Tang Qiyue has been very busy recently and has no time to keep an eye on them.
"Then you should keep an eye on them, lest they really are going through menopause!"
Tang Qiyue gave a reminder, but did not take the matter seriously. After Zhan Zeye came back that day, everyone had dinner and talked for a while, and then Tang Xiuyuan and his wife left.
Tang Qiyue also mentioned to Zhan Zeye about her mother's menopause, and reminded him to be careful when talking to her so as not to be affected.
I just forgot to mention what happened to Zheng Hongxia, and I never thought that something would happen the next day.
Tang Qiuyue, who already had a lot of things to do, took a rare two-day break and trimmed the grape vines in the yard at home. She was afraid that there were too many fruits and they would not grow big, so she started pruning.
While I was busy, I saw Zheng Hongjuan running towards me.
"Sister, stop busying yourself and help me!"
Zheng Hongjuan pulled Tang Qiyue and was about to run outside, but Tang Qiyue held her back.
"Tell me what happened so I can wash my hands!"
Her hands were dirty and it was not suitable for her to go out, so she went to the well and started washing her hands.
Zheng Hongjuan also knew that she had overreacted a bit, so she calmed down and spoke.
"My sister and her husband had a fight, and now she's crying at home. I can't comfort her, and I don't dare ask anyone else to come over, so I can only ask you for help!"
Tang Qiuyue was a little surprised to hear that it was Zheng Hongxia and Political Commissar Wu who were fighting.
You have to know that both of them are good-tempered people. In addition, Zheng Hongxia is in charge of family logistics work and is very good at counseling people. How could she quarrel with someone with a bad temper like Political Commissar Wu?
"Do you know the reason?"
Tang Qiyue dried her hands, straightened her clothes, and then continued asking.
Zheng Hongjuan shook her head: "My sister just cried, and my brother-in-law went straight to the military camp. My nephews were not at home at all. I really don't know what happened!"
It was because of Tang Qiuyue's reminder yesterday that she thought of going to see her sister after get off work today when she had nothing to do. However, she didn't expect to run into her brother-in-law and sister fighting, and her appearance prevented the two from continuing.
But no matter how she asked, Zheng Hongxia just covered her head and said nothing.
She was afraid something might happen, so she thought of Tang Qiyue and came here to ask her for help.
Tang Qiuyue closed the door and followed Zheng Hongjuan to see Zheng Hongxia.
When I got home, I didn't worry about being discovered by the children and causing any embarrassment, as the children were either at work or at school.
It’s because the school moved to other islands, otherwise the children would definitely be at home at this time.
Tang Qiuyue and Zheng Hongjuan entered the room, and Zheng Hongxia was still lying on the bed.
Zheng Hongjuan looked at Tang Qiyue for help.
Tang Qiyue had no choice but to walk to the bed and call out "Sister Xia".
When Zheng Hongxia heard Tang Qiyue's voice, she knew that her sister had gone to call someone. She was too embarrassed to pretend not to hear it, so she sat up from the bed embarrassedly.
"I'll let you watch the joke!"
Zheng Hongxia wiped her slightly red and swollen eyes and tried hard to force a smile.
"Sister Xia, don't say that. Everyone has experienced something upsetting. Hongjuan is very worried about you. If you don't mind me being nosy, just tell us about it. It's better than keeping it to yourself!"
Zheng Hongjuan beside her also nodded: "Yes, yes, sister, we are not outsiders, what are you afraid of? Did your brother-in-law bully you? If you say so, I will go find him and fight him to the death!"
Zheng Hongjuan is very dependent on this sister.
Because she knew her brother-in-law's temper too well, she was afraid that the fight might be caused by her sister. She was afraid that if she rashly caused trouble for her brother-in-law, she would wrongly accuse him.
Zheng Hongxia shook her head: "Don't mess around!"
Zheng Hongjuan became anxious.
How can we fight about it if it’s not my brother-in-law’s business?
Tang Qiyue also noticed that the atmosphere between the two people was not right.
"Sister Xia, if it's not about my brother-in-law, is it because of the child?"
Zheng Hongxia has several sons, who are now of graduation age. The eldest son has already been arranged a job, and the second and third sons have also graduated from high school.
Now that universities have stopped recruiting students, the only place you can go to is the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, but you need a recommendation to get a place there.
The island is relatively closed, so it will definitely be a big challenge for the children to find work.
Because there are relatively few children of that age, and they all attend the school for children of the military district at the dock, it would be difficult to coordinate any arrangements.
It was obvious that Tang Qiyue was right, and Zheng Hongxia's eyes began to turn red again.
"The second and third children are about to graduate. I want them to become teachers like the eldest, but Old Wu disagrees, saying they both have to join the army!"
Because they are all sons and they have good physical fitness, Political Commissar Wu does not want his sons to be weak scholars.
Zheng Hongxia knew too well the hardships of being a soldier and was reluctant to leave, so she started to quarrel with Political Commissar Wu. In addition, she was indeed in menopause during this period and her emotions were unstable, so she started to fight.
Tang Qiuyue knew that due to the special nature of the island, these family members could not be sent out as educated youth. Joining the army was the best option, but the training was indeed very hard.
As a military wife, Zheng Hongxia knows this kind of hardship too well and she feels sorry for the children.
Zheng Hongjuan was speechless. "Sister, what are you afraid of? We have my brother-in-law. Even if he serves in the army, he won't let them suffer too much. Besides, are you willing to send them to the countryside? Given my brother-in-law's personality, wouldn't he send them to the most difficult places to settle down?"
Tang Qiyue nodded.
