Chapter 151: This wait lasted until late at night
This was the first lesson Chu Yue taught Ye Zhaodi: imitation is the best way to learn.
Ye Zhaodi listened attentively and was also very smart. She quickly understood what Chu Yue meant and patted her chest to assure him, "Sister Yue, don't worry! I will definitely take good care of the store and learn from the supply and marketing cooperative. I'm thick-skinned, and if they try to coax me into leaving, I'll definitely learn it!"
"Don't worry, take your time. We have time."
The matter was settled. Chu Yue arranged everything inside and out. As the saying goes, don't employ a person you doubt, and trust a person you employ. She was very confident in handing over everything to Ye Zhaodi.
When she finally left, Chu Yue didn't forget to say to Ye Zhaodi, "Happy Lantern Festival. There's nothing to do in the store, so go home early to be with your brother."
Ye Zhaodi was still holding the candied haws that Chu Yue had given her. When she heard these words, her eyes turned red again and she nodded heavily.
She even wanted to risk her life to be good to Chu Yue.
…
Chu Yue took Lu Yuanbao back to the military compound. As soon as they arrived at the gate, Wang Xiulan suddenly came out with a bright and friendly smile on her face. When she saw Chu Yue, she immediately greeted her.
"Ms. Chu, you're back? Why didn't you buy anything today? You look so tired riding a bicycle up and down the mountain with a child. It's better to take the bus. If you want to go down the mountain next time, let me know and I'll save a seat for you on the bus. It's very convenient."
There were several sisters-in-law who had just gotten off the bus and were heading home. When they heard what Wang Xiulan said, their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Is Wang Xiulan, who is so considerate, wise, united, friendly, and caring, really still the same Wang Xiulan who is harsh with words and loves to take advantage of others?
The smarter sisters-in-law have already figured out why Wang Xiulan suddenly tried to curry favor with Chu Yue, but some sisters-in-law who didn't get around it are full of doubts.
Chen Fengying was the sister-in-law who didn't go around the bush. When she saw Wang Xiulan approaching Chu Yue for no reason, she always felt that Wang Xiulan had bad intentions, so she immediately walked over and pushed Wang Xiulan away with her butt.
Chen Fengying said loudly, "Our sister Chu has a bicycle. She can go down the mountain whenever she wants. Why should you worry? Even if she wants to take the bus, she will come with me. Wang Xiulan, aren't you close to Comrade He and have taken advantage of him a lot? Why do you want to change your destination so suddenly?"
When Wang Xiulan heard Chen Fengying mention He Meijiao, she immediately became anxious.
Wang Xiulan was afraid that Chu Yue would misunderstand, so she immediately refuted and explained, "Chen Fengying, don't talk nonsense when you know nothing. Comrade He and I are colleagues. There's no such thing as closeness. I'm the one who knows you best, so why didn't you say that I was close to you?"
"Tsk, I don't have anything good to give you, so why are you willing to get close to me?" Chen Fengying's words exposed Wang Xiulan's shortcoming of taking advantage of others.
She pulled Chu Yue and said, "Chu sister, come on, come on, your family's food is not easy to come by, the most important thing is that your family has good food and drink. Listen to me, be careful of Wang Xiulan."
"Chen Fengying—you—"
Wang Xiulan was so angry. She had been trying hard to improve her image in front of Chu Yue recently, but she never expected to run into such a thorn in her side, Chen Fengying. Now everything was ruined in an instant.
Chu Yue's mind was as clear as a mirror. She knew Wang Xiulan's recent strange behavior and also knew the reason why she did it.
However, Chu Yue also did not forget that Wang Xiulan had been close to He Meijiao before and had deliberately embarrassed her.
She is not a kind person and she also holds grudges.
As long as Wang Xiulan doesn't put her words on the table and make them clear, Chu Yue will pretend to know nothing and watch Wang Xiulan act alone.
She wanted to let them all know that she, Chu Yue, was not someone to be bullied.
So when Chen Fengying pulled her away, Chu Yue pushed her bicycle and followed Chen Fengying back to the yard of her home.
As soon as you enter the door.
Lu Yuanbao immediately went to the chicken coop to check. They had been out all day and the eggs laid by the wild pheasants in the chicken coop had not been picked up yet. Lu Yuanbao was afraid that the eggs had been stolen, so he was looking into the chicken coop.
Chen Fengying pulled Chu Yue aside and whispered, "Sister Chu, why didn't I see you at the supply and marketing cooperative today? Today is the Lantern Festival, aren't you going shopping? Do you have any glutinous rice flour at home? If not, I'd like to share some with you."
"Thank you, Sister Chen. I bought glutinous rice flour before the New Year, so we have enough at home." Chu Yue said.
Chen Fengying nodded in relief after hearing this. "I'm glad you're not short of food. Remember to use glutinous rice flour to make glutinous rice balls. Festivals should still be celebrated with decorum. Last year during the Lantern Festival, the army held an event and invited us all to attend. We all gathered in the kitchen to make glutinous rice balls together. It was so lively."
Chu Yue asked curiously, "Do you have activities every time there's a festival?"
"Under normal circumstances, they will. After all, the soldiers are alone in the barracks, how lonely it is, so they still need some fun. But when it comes to special circumstances, like firing cannons, we won't celebrate it."
Chen Fengying is an old military wife. She has been with the army for a long time and has seen a lot.
What she meant by "firing the cannons" was the issue of the tense war situation.
Although the entire country is safe now, both the northeastern and southwestern borders have actually never been peaceful, and there is often harassment from countries outside the border.
We recruited new soldiers before the New Year for the same reason.
Chu Yue roughly understood the situation, and then thought about what Lu Zhanlin said yesterday that "he would come back as soon as possible", which was probably the reason.
Seeing that Chu Yue didn't say anything and seemed to be thinking about something, Chen Fengying lowered her voice and asked softly, "Sister Chu, are you thinking about Captain Lu and wanting to celebrate the holidays with your family? Oh my! Newlyweds are different. My guy, I wish he could stay in the barracks all the time, and it would be best if he didn't come back. Every night when I go to bed, I see his stinky feet, which really makes me sick——"
Chu Yue couldn't help laughing because of Chen Fengying's words, and there was a hint of red on her fair neck.
Chen Fengying was right. She just realized that it was Lu Zhanlin.
Fortunately, Chen Fengying is a outgoing person and did not notice the little details about Chu Yue, otherwise the newlyweds' love would probably spread to the entire compound.
…
During the Chinese New Year, Chu Yue made sesame and white sugar dumplings, and Lu Yuanbao followed suit to make the dumplings. He had already learned how to roll them into balls one by one, and this time he made meat dumplings even better.
Chu Yue not only added scallion and ginger water to the fresh meat filling, but also added a little sesame oil, which made the meat filling look shiny and brought out the fragrance of the meat filling.
While making the dumplings, Lu Yuanbao secretly swallowed his saliva several times and licked his lips from time to time.
Chu Yue suggested that Lu Yuanbao eat a few first to taste the flavor, and then wait for Lu Zhanlin to come back and eat the rest together.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanbao shook his head and said, "Let's wait for Dad to come home and eat together as a family."
"Okay, let's eat together as a family."
But I didn't expect that I would wait until late at night...
