Life at Lu Heng's house was undoubtedly comfortable. Qiao Qingqing no longer had to do many things and could just enjoy Lu Heng's care.
After Lu Heng came back, Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang wanted to avoid suspicion.
"Sister Qingqing, we are relieved to have your brother-in-law take care of you. Our house has been empty for so long, it's time for us to move back home."
Qiao Qingqing also knew that if two single young women continued to live there while Lu Heng was away, it would be detrimental to their reputations.
Fortunately, they all lived in the same village. Even if they didn't live together, they were not far away and could still get together during the day.
Qiao Qingqing did not try to persuade them to stay, and said with a smile: "You two have already paid the bills in advance, so be more conscious from now on. When it's time to eat, don't let me call you, just come and eat by yourselves."
Yao Xiaoman took her arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will only come back when we go to bed. We will still come to your place at other times. I hope you don't find us annoying."
They had no other relatives or friends in the village. Even if they were friends with other comrades in the educated youth site, they were all male comrades, and it was impossible for them to interact with Qiao Qingqing as casually as she could.
Zhang Miaomiao had lived with the two of them for some time and had become quite friendly with them. However, Zhang Miaomiao was married and was now a member of the fishing village. She did not have to work like the educated youth. At the same time, her biological parents, who loved her, lived in the nearby Heqin Town. Zhang Miaomiao basically lived back and forth between her parents' home and her in-laws' home, which was different from their situation.
To sum up, the friendship between Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang is undoubtedly the deepest, followed by their relationship with Qiao Qingqing.
So the more idle they were, the more confused they felt. If they didn't look for Qiao Qingqing, they wouldn't know what to do.
A few days later, when the two came again, they found that there was an extra recliner in the yard. Comrade Lu Heng was adjusting the angle and position of the chair, making sure to find the most comfortable place for Qiao Qingqing.
Watching Lu Heng adjusting the chair, then taking out pillows stuffed with cotton and cloth to pad the recliner, and finally helping his wife to get on the chair to try it out, both of them had smiles in their eyes.
Yao Xiaoman nudged Zhou Lanfang with her elbow and whispered in her ear, "Do you think there are many men like our brother-in-law in the army?"
Zhou Lanfang immediately guessed what she was thinking and lowered her voice: "I won't say... you still have to try it yourself before you can speak for yourself."
"Well..." Yao Xiaoman curled her lips.
Seeing that Qiao Qingqing and Zhang Miaomiao were both spoiled by their husbands, Yao Xiaoman became even more lustful.
"Xiao Man, Lan Fang, I forgot to tell you something."
At this time, Qiao Qingqing suddenly spoke up. When the two looked at her curiously, she said meaningfully, "Lu Heng said that the troops will hold a celebration on the Lantern Festival. If you are interested, you can sign up to perform on the island."
Previously, Yao Xiaoman and Zhang Miaomiao asked her to introduce a soldier to Zhou Jianbin, but this stimulated Zhou Jianbin. Now Zhang Miaomiao is pregnant, while Yao Xiaoman is still single.
Later, Qiao Qingqing tentatively asked Xiaoman, "Do you still want to be a military dependent?"
Yao Xiaoman's attitude was not much different from before.
After Lu Heng returned to the army to report, he told his wife what the commander meant. Qiao Qingqing took the opportunity to ask Lu Heng about the situation in the army. She learned that the army currently has strict military discipline and no serving soldier dared to mess around with the conduct of men and women.
Only then did he feel more relieved and decided to find an introduction for Xiaoman - at least it would save her some time than just marrying someone in the village as before!
Besides, Xiaoman's family is going to get married this year, so if she wants to get engaged, she should do it before then. Otherwise, she will always suffer more grievances if she does this.
