After returning to the family compound, Zhou Suisui distributed the cakes he bought to Wang Shuzhen and Zhang Xiuxiang, one portion for each family.
The two of them were extremely happy. The pastry looked very expensive and was even packaged in an iron box, which made it clear that it was a high-end product.
Zhou Suisui also gave each of them a silk scarf.
Just accept the pastries and return the gift somewhere else later.
But to be honest, they didn't dare touch the scarf for fear of damaging it.
"This scarf is so beautiful, but it looks so expensive. We are so old, why would we need such a nice thing?"
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? How old are you? You are still young. I went to Beijing and wanted to bring you a gift. Do you like it?"
"I like it, but it's too expensive." Wang Shuzhen said embarrassedly.
"Hurry up and take it. It's not particularly expensive. Ladies, if you wear this when you go out, you will definitely be the most beautiful girl on the street!" Zhou Sui Sui said with a smile.
The two people were indeed attracted by the two scarves, and could not resist Zhou Suisui's persuasion, so they accepted the scarves.
But in the evening, the two of them brought over a piece of pork.
Zhou Suisui looked at the meat on the table helplessly. These two sisters are really...
I never feel jealous of my family just because they are well-off, nor do I feel entitled to anything I take from my family.
Neighbors interact with each other, and that’s what we call communication.
Although the price of pork is not even close to that of a silk scarf, Zhou Suisui believes that this is the best thing they can offer.
I cherish this kindness very much.
When Wu Jianguo and Captain Li returned home in the evening, they saw the silk scarves around the two women's necks.
"It looks good, right?" Zhang Xiuxiang said with a smile.
"Did you buy this yourself? It doesn't look cheap." Captain Li said.
"How could I bear to spend money on this? It was given to me by my sister Sui Sui. Sister Shuzhen and I each got one."
"She's from Deputy Regimental Commander Gu's family. I remember she was very capable. Both the Regimental Commander and the Political Commissar praised her."
"That's right. Sister Sui Sui is really talented. Her family went on a trip a while ago, and when she came back, Sister Sui Sui brought this back specially for us. It's from Beijing. Feel it, the material is so smooth. They say it's silk."
"Forget it, don't touch it. You have such rough hands and feet, you might damage the scarf again." Zhang Xiuxiang said lovingly.
Captain Li: “…”
"Did you give them anything in return? It would be bad if it were not for the sake of money."
"Of course I did. Am I that kind of person? I cut most of the pork we bought yesterday into pieces and sent it to her."
"Okay, that's fine." Captain Li didn't care about his wife making friends. He knew that Zhang Xiuxiang knew her limits.
After so many years of being in the army, his wife has always been well-behaved and never makes trouble. She is a good wife. Captain Li is also very fortunate that his wife is a good one and that he has not met a wife like Li Rou or Liu Ying.
Zhang Xiuxiang also said, "Looking at that child just now, I feel a little sorry for him. Wang Tao is really blinded by lust. He's been so bewitched by women that he can't even walk. He doesn't even care about his own son. Is there any father like that?"
Their two families lived next door to each other, and Captain Li had heard about what was going on in Wang Tao's family.
As for other people's family affairs, as long as they are not too excessive and are just minor quarrels, even the army cannot interfere, let alone Captain Li and his men.
Captain Li said, "I don't think Wang Tao's wife is a decent person."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Xiuxiang smelled the scent of gossip and asked excitedly.
"She's a nurse in the hospital now. I once saw her and a new recruit in the hospital, looking at each other. I thought something was wrong."
"What? There's such a thing?"
"Hey, I just saw it, and they didn't do anything, so don't go out and say nonsense."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I won't talk nonsense," said Zhang Xiuxiang.
————————
In a blink of an eye, two years have passed. The eldest and second child have graduated from junior high school and are about to go to high school.
The two of them are now half a head taller than Zhou Suisui, and Zhou Suisui has to look up to see them.
Zhou Suisui thinks that having three sons is pretty good. It feels good to have four men at home to protect her.
Especially for the three children, the most obvious change in the past two years is that they like to protect themselves.
As long as one of the four of them is at home, the housework doesn't take more than a week to do.
Zhou Suisui is still very satisfied with this.
The third child is about to graduate from primary school. In terms of study, he is not as far ahead as his two brothers, but he is not at the bottom either.
Sanwa has been like this since he was a child, and Zhou Suisui knows it very well, so Zhou Suisui doesn't intend to make things difficult for him in his studies.
As long as he tries his best, Zhou Suisui doesn't want to force anything else.
It's not easy for children either. They don't have to get first place in the exam. Every child has different talents. As long as they try their best, it's enough.
Afraid that Sanwa would feel inferior, Zhou Suisui would take special care of his emotions and often praise him.
Under the careful care of Zhou Suisui and Gu Jingheng, Sanwa is not inferior in character. Instead, he is cheerful and outgoing, and more lively than his two brothers.
In the past two years, Gu Jingheng and his family have returned home every Chinese New Year, without missing a single year.
In the past two years, Gu Lan remarried.
They got married last year. The man was also married for the second time. His previous wife died, leaving behind a son.
The man is from the next village. His family conditions are not particularly good, but they are not particularly poor either. They are just a normal family.
Moreover, the man is honest and not good at talking. You can tell at first glance that he is just a man who lives a simple life.
When Gu Lan went to his house for the first time when she was on a blind date with him, she was very satisfied that the house was very clean and tidy for a grown man with a child.
Originally, Gu Lan no longer wanted to marry another man, but after meeting him, Gu Lan's heart slowly opened up and she accepted this man.
After remarrying, Gu Lan also wanted to live a good life with him.
He treated his son very well and would not abuse him just because he was not his biological son.
Gu Lan has seen through it all. It doesn’t matter if they are her biological children or not.
Even biological children are unreliable, sometimes they are worse than not being biological children.
Her stepson also gets along well with her, so overall, Gu Lan's life is relatively stable.
Not to mention Gu He's life. As a dual-income family, both husband and wife have jobs, so their life is naturally good.
