Chapter 17: Comparing People to Others Can Make You Frustrated (2/2)



The round-faced military wife tried to pull him away but failed: "Sister-in-law Li, how about you go call her husband?"

Sister Li would not get involved in this mess: "No."

no way.

The round-faced military wife had no choice but to go to the army to find Wang Yun’s man.

Mrs. Li came home.

I heard banging sounds coming from next door.

She made a few wild vegetable pancakes and walked over: “Sister Shen, are you tired of sweeping the floor?

Come, eat some pancakes to fill your stomach first."

Sister Li thought it was Shen Mengyao who was cleaning, but when she walked in, she realized she was wrong. Sister Shen, who looked like a fairy, was the commander, while Captain Xiao was sweeping the floor.

Don't say.

The floor was swept quite clean.

"Captain Xiao, you are so hardworking, unlike my son who doesn't even bother to pick up the oil can when it falls over.

As soon as he got here, he just sat there with his legs crossed, like an old man, waiting for his meal."

Xiao Ye swept the dust aside and whispered, "It's not that I'm hardworking, it's that you're too capable. You take care of everything at home, big and small, and you don't give Captain Xiao any chance to show off."

Mrs. Li’s husband’s surname is Xiao.

He is the battalion commander.

Sister Li looked at Xiao Ye with suspicion: "Is that so?"

Xiao Ye said with certainty: "Of course, if you don't believe me, ask my wife."

Sister Li looked at Shen Mengyao and asked, “Sister Shen, is that so?”

Shen Mengyao nodded: "Yes."

Sister Li thought that Chen Mengyao was so pretty, and everything she said was right: "Then I will leave some housework to him in the future."

While she was talking, she handed the wild vegetable pancake to Chen Mengyao: "Try it, is it delicious?"

Chen Mengyao was indeed hungry, but she also knew that food was precious in this era. She took out a dollar and handed it to Sister Li: "I don't eat cheap food, I bought these."

The price is comparable to the meat buns in state-owned restaurants.

But after smelling the fragrance, Shen Mengyao felt it was worth it.

Sister Li got along well with Chen Mengyao, so she made pancakes for her to eat, but she didn’t want to collect money: “Sister Chen, how could you do this!

We are all neighbors, so why should I charge you for eating a few pancakes?"

Chen Mengyao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, food is so precious these days, how can I eat it for free?"

Sister Li didn't take the money. She stuffed all the cakes in the bowl to Chen Mengyao: "No matter how precious food is, I don't lack this little flour."

Sister Li was afraid that Chen Mengyao would chase her and return the pancake, so she turned around and ran away.

The speed was so fast that it could be compared with lightning.

Chen Mengyao looked at her disappearing figure and chuckled: "Sister-in-law is so cute!"

Xiao Ye was also hungry. He stood up, washed his hands, and put a wild vegetable pancake in his mouth.

The tempting aroma rushes to the tip of the tongue, as if performing a symphony of nature.

"Sister-in-law Li's cooking skills are good."

Xiao Ye gave the highest evaluation.

Seeing Xiao Ye enjoying the meal, Chen Mengyao took a bite. The aroma was really intoxicating. Her mouth was full of fragrance.

“It’s really delicious.”

One cake per jar.

Xiao Ye ate four.

Chen Mengyao ate two.

After eating.

Xiao Ye continued cleaning.

After sweeping the yard inside and out, he turned the soil in the yard again and said, "Wife, you can plant some seasonal vegetables in the yard."

Chen Mengyao thought this was a good idea: "僢——"

The two of them worked together until three in the afternoon.

After closing the door and preparing to go to dinner, Li's husband Xiao Xiaobo came with good news: "Captain Xiao, you are going to be promoted again."

Xiao Ye had heard his boss mention this before, and he knew that this promotion was inevitable, so he was very calm: "Well, the promotion can bring a salary increase."

Xiao Xiaobo was envious: "You are almost ten years younger than me, but you are taller than me. It's really annoying to compare yourself with others!"

Chen Mengyao disapproved of this statement: "Aye's current success is all due to hard work.

If you are willing to risk your life for your future, you can also achieve such a thing!"
