In this way, they spent a few days in the compound without shame. On the fourth night of their honeymoon, the first rain of the spring fell in Beijing.
The rain continued intermittently for two days. On the third day, the weather cleared up. Some sisters-in-law and aunts in the compound could not sit still any longer and planned to go to the outskirts of Beijing to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables.
The wives and aunts in the compound were actually divided into camps. One camp consisted of Beijing natives, who looked down on all other military wives. Another camp consisted of the wives of soldiers from other places who had come to join the army and were employed in the city. They prided themselves on being employed city dwellers and looked down on the uneducated, unemployed wives from the countryside. Thus, these marginalized wives from the countryside formed another camp.
Those who suggested going mushroom and vegetable picking were of course the military wives in the third camp.
Aunt Zhao, who lived next door to Song Yun on the right, suggested to the other military wives that they invite Song Yun to go along.
Chen Cuicui glanced at the yard where Song Yun lived not far away, and thought of the day she saw the bride from afar, and heard her husband say that Captain Song was amazing. He became the captain at the age of thirteen, and he would probably be promoted soon. This gave her a chance to get along well with Captain Song and try to improve their relationship.
Chen Cuicui was the youngest of the group of military wives. She had only been married for a short time and had only been in the compound for three months. She had just integrated into this group and didn't have much say in it. At first, she didn't take the initiative to speak up, but one day, she mustered up the courage and said, "I think it's okay. Why don't we go ask?"
Chen Cuicui's husband would let his wife and Song Yun maintain a good relationship, and other men would do the same.
So as soon as Chen Cuicui opened her mouth, the other military wives immediately nodded in agreement, and a group of people crowded outside the gate of Song Yun's house.
Song Yun was watering the newly grafted pears in the backyard. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she immediately put down the ladle in her hand and quickly walked to the gate to open it.
When the door opened, wow, there were more than a dozen military wives standing at the door.
"What's going on?" Song Yun was confused.
Aunt Zhao was closest to Song Yun and her closest neighbor. She also got along well with Qi Qingxia. She had previously come to help Qi Qingxia clean the house and had made delicious meals for Song Yun the past few days. She smiled and said, "Comrade Song, we're planning to go to the outskirts of Beijing to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables. Are you coming? It's been raining for two days now, and the weather is perfect. There will definitely be plenty of fresh mushrooms and vegetables."
Song Yun was really tempted. She hadn't been to the suburbs for a while. In addition to picking wild vegetables and herbs, she could also earn some star coins. If she was lucky, she might even bring back some wild game.
"Okay, I have nothing to do today, I'll go with you."
Everyone thought Song Yun would refuse. After all, Song Yun was different from them. Not only was she a military wife, but she was also a soldier and a regiment commander. She was also so young and beautiful. I heard that her parents were both professors at Beijing University. Her family was extremely well-off. Generally speaking, such a person would not go to do things like digging wild vegetables with these peasants.
Not to mention those far away, even the working military wives in the compound are all very cautious. If you give them wild vegetables to eat, they will complain that you haven't washed them clean.
But Song Yun agreed immediately without any hesitation.
"Are you really willing to go?" Aunt Zhao didn't expect her to agree so readily.
Song Yun smiled and said, "Yes, I'm tired of eating wild vegetables and radishes, so I dug some wild vegetables and made dumplings."
