Chen Fengying's eyes moved, and she chattered for a while, explaining the purpose of her visit.
In a word, in short, their goal is to drag Chu Yaoyao to open up wasteland and cultivate the land together.
Chen Fengying's excuse was, of course... "Sister Chu, this is a collective activity for the military wives in our compound, you won't join in?"
The compound...military wives...group activities?
Every word hit Chu Yaoyao's heart hard. She was so excited. The sisters-in-law in the compound didn't come to find Chu Yue, but came to her. Doesn't this prove that her existence has surpassed Chu Yue?
Chu Yaoyao asked, "Participate! I will definitely participate! Sisters-in-law, when are we going?"
Chen Fengying said, "Now!"
She grabbed Chu Yaoyao's hand, full of enthusiasm, but also afraid that Chu Yaoyao would go back on her word, so she decided to catch her first.
Chu Yaoyao was stunned, "Now? But I haven't eaten my buns yet."
She had been in such a hurry to come out just now that she had only eaten a few bites of breakfast and even forgot about the meat buns she had been missing the most.
Chen Fengying held her tightly and refused to let go. "Chu sister, let's go. It will be too late if we don't leave now. Didn't you just have breakfast? Come with us. Are you alone in your family? There are a lot of farm chores. I'm afraid you can't finish them by yourself. Why don't you ask your mother to come along?"
Chu Yaoyao thought about it and it made sense. It would be impossible to ask her to do the work, and she still had to rely on Li A'mei's help. So she didn't have time to think about it and called Li A'mei out. The two of them were surrounded by the sisters-in-law in the compound and walked up the mountain road.
They had no idea what was waiting for them.
…
Once Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei left, Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin no longer had to act.
Chu Yue clapped her hands and stood up and said, "I'm going to the city today, taking Yuan Bao with me. I'll be back around three or four in the afternoon."
"Well, be careful on the road. The sun is strong. Remember to wear a hat." Lu Zhanlin once again performed a medical miracle and stood up from the wheelchair. However, it was too troublesome to remove the gauze on his head and then tie it back on. He had to keep it on for a while. He said, "I have to go to the army. Judging from the situation, the two of them will not be back before dark. I will make dinner and you can come back early to eat."
Chu Yue raised her eyebrows with a look of surprise. It had been a long time since she had eaten the food cooked by Lu Zhanlin, and it had also been a long time since the three of them had been alone together.
Lu Zhanlin wanted the three of them to have dinner alone before Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei came back.
Chu Yue understood what he meant and said with a smile, "I will be back early and wait for the dinner made by Captain Lu."
Afterwards, she put on a straw hat, picked up Lu Yuanbao, and rode her bicycle to the city.
It has been two or three days since Chu Yue came back, and because of being delayed by Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei, she has not been able to come to the grocery store to take a look.
"Zhao Di, I'm back!"
Chu Yue shouted and walked into the familiar store.
When she looked up, the face she saw was not Ye Zhaodi's, but... Fang Xiuli.
"Why are you... here?"
Fang Xiuli was not standing outside the counter, but inside. Such a beautiful and noble lady was holding a rag in her hand. When Chu Yue just walked in, Fang Xiuli was just lowering her head to wipe the glass of the counter.
Is Fang Xiuli working here? Or is she working in her shop?
How could she be so worthy as to have the eldest lady of Beijing work for her?
Chu Yue looked around carefully in surprise and discovered some different little details.
Her shop was originally very clean and bright under Ye Zhaodi's careful care, and all the items were neatly arranged. But now, the glass is so clean that it can reflect light, and the goods on the shelves are arranged in a straight line. The person who does this is either a mysophobe or has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The only person Chu Yue could think of was Fang Xiuli who was holding a rag in front of her.
Fang Xiuli had never expected that Chu Yue would see this. She frowned and asked impatiently, "Have you dealt with the troubles at home?"
As soon as she finished saying this, Fang Xiuli quickly threw away the rag in her hand, raised her hand to smooth her hair and grab her clothes. After all, the proud young lady didn't want to be messy.
But when she raised her hand, her hand just took the rag. Even though the rag was clean, Fang Xiuli still felt it was dirty. She didn't want to touch her body before washing her hands.
As a result, Fang Xiuli raised her hand, which was stiff in mid-air. She wanted to touch but didn't dare to. She was completely embarrassed.
Just when Fang Xiuli was feeling uneasy, Chu Yue walked over, opened her arms and hugged her.
It was a big hug filled with passion and energy.
Chu Yue whispered in Fang Xiuli's ear, "Fang Xiuli, we haven't seen each other for more than a month. It's so nice to see you now!"
The moment Fang Xiuli was hugged by Chu Yue, her whole body was stiff and she didn't know how to react. She seldom had such physical contact with others, but as soon as she thought that this person was Chu Yue, she was not repulsed at all.
She didn't know why, but there was an unknown corner in her heart that was soft because of this person.
Such a thing had only happened twice in Fang Xiuli's life, once to Tan Siqi and once to Tan Rourou, and Chu Yue was the third one.
Fang Xiuli raised her hand and gently hugged Chu Yue, saying softly, "Chu Yue, you have worked hard."
Tan Siqi came back earlier than Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue, so after Tan Siqi came back, Fang Xiuli immediately asked about Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin's situation in the disaster area. She heard many thrilling stories.
So even though she saw Chu Yue was unharmed and smiling brightly, she also knew how many life and death moments Chu Yue had experienced in the past month.
Behind the word "hard work" is Fang Xiuli's sincere admiration for Chu Yue.
Ye Zhaodi had just gone to the restroom. When she came back, she saw a new figure in the grocery store. She thought it was a new customer, but after a closer look -
"Yuanbao! Sister Ayue! Sister Ayue! You're back!"
In an instant, Ye Zhaodi's eyes turned red and tears of excitement welled up in her eyes, ready to fall.
Chu Yue let go of Fang Xiu Li and turned to look at Ye Zhao Di, "Zhao Di, I'm back."
Her arms were still open and she smiled brightly at Ye Zhaodi.
Ye Zhaodi's eyes were red and her nose was sore. She rushed towards Chu Yue like a child seeing her mother, hugged her tightly, and said excitedly.
"Sister Yue, I'm so glad you're back... So glad... I've been reading newspapers these days, all kinds of newspapers, wanting to see your message in them, but also afraid to see your message in them..."
Only major events make it to the newspapers, either the number of people rescued or the number of deaths.
Ye Zhaodi was afraid of seeing something happen to Chu Yue on the Internet, but she couldn't help searching for things related to flood control and disaster relief.
It was not until now, when she saw a healthy and complete Chu Yue, that Ye Zhaodi felt truly at ease.
