They exchanged glances.
"Then why are you still marrying him, sister-in-law?" If you're really afraid, why do you insist on marrying him? Su Xiaole asked Lin Qiyue curiously.
Lin Qiyue immediately blushed and said, "Of course I think he's good-looking!"
"I can't tell, they all look the same, all dark-skinned!" In Su Xiaole's mind, all men were dark-skinned, especially soldiers and migrant workers.
Lin Qiyue looked at Su Xiaole, glanced at Xing Jianguo, and then tentatively asked, "So, what kind of boy do you want to marry in the future?"
“Sister-in-law, you don’t know this, do you? Comrade Xiao Le was introduced to Deputy Battalion Commander Xing by the political commissar.” Zhou Qishan immediately explained upon hearing this.
He felt that his sister-in-law probably didn't know about their relationship.
"Old Zhou, what are you doing?" Han Yingyu winked at her husband.
Su Xiaole and Xing Jianguo looked slightly embarrassed. They exchanged a glance and then lowered their heads.
The group of onlookers saw through the scheme but said nothing.
"That's right. People might look down on people who are dark-skinned, but Comrade Xiao Le, you deal with people like us who are dark-skinned every day."
Ding Wen retorted defiantly.
Haha~
Everyone burst into laughter.
After finishing their meal, the girls cleaned up the table in the living room and then sat together chatting.
The men were all working in the kitchen.
"It seems you set a good example today, sister-in-law! The men working are quite a sight to behold!" Dong Qingqing couldn't help but tease as she watched the men working diligently.
Indeed, the men chatted and laughed as they worked.
Lin Qiyue took a watermelon out of the refrigerator and brought it to the kitchen for Lan Yuchu.
Without asking, he simply took half a watermelon and cut it into pieces.
"Sisters-in-law, Xiao Le, have some watermelon, it's so refreshing and delicious." Lin Qiyue invited them to eat watermelon.
Han Yingyu picked up a small piece first and ate it. "Mmm, it's very sweet and delicious."
"Definitely. It tastes much better after being chilled in the refrigerator." Su Xiaole looked at the refrigerator; not every household can afford one.
I'm truly envious of that!
"Your sister-in-law is so lucky! Unlike my husband, who has been married for so many years and still doesn't have enough money, so he has to send money back home!" Han Yingyu looked at her husband, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.
Only Dong Qingqing knew the answer, and she immediately changed the subject, saying, "Life will get better and better. We may not have it now, but maybe in a few years, when living conditions are better, we can have whatever we want."
“Yes, these are just temporary difficulties. We’ll definitely get what we want.” Lin Qiyue understood the underlying meaning. “I thought that since both of you sisters-in-law have children, you’ve bought a lot of snacks for kids.”
"Sigh~" Han Yingyu said, "I'm not in good health. I got pregnant a few years ago, but I miscarried! I haven't been able to get pregnant in all these years!"
Lin Qiyue glanced at Su Xiaole, thinking, "She really knows how to bring up the wrong thing at the wrong time."
"However, without children, we are also at ease, although the conditions are a bit tough! We don't have to worry about anything."
Han Yingyu glanced at Lin Qiyue, afraid that she would feel guilty, and immediately smiled and said.
Dong Qingqing quickly added, "Who says otherwise? We're all teachers, and we don't usually have time to take care of our children. Yingyu has difficulty conceiving, and me..." She glanced at the men chatting animatedly in the kitchen and whispered, "My husband injured his man's genitals while on a mission!"
Lin Qiyue suddenly understood after hearing this.
Dong Qingqing is quite open-minded.
The women exchanged glances and then laughed.
"What are you laughing at? Why are you so happy?" Xing Jianguo was the first to come out of Lima and saw that they were all laughing.
He picked up the watermelon and started eating.
"We were talking about when you and Comrade Xiao Le are getting married?" Dong Qingqing immediately shifted the topic to Xing Jianguo.
Su Xiaole's face flushed red instantly. "Sister-in-law, why are you saying this?"
Seeing Su Xiaole's blushing face, Dong Qingqing smiled and said, "Could I have said something wrong? If you two didn't have feelings for each other, why would you be together every day? You even wiped his sweat last time!"
"Of course, he's so considerate, you're embarrassed?" Han Yingyu couldn't help but tease him.
Xing Jianguo was also embarrassed by what he was said. He glanced at Su Xiaole and said shyly, "No rush, Xiaole doesn't really want to get married yet."
“If you feel it’s too young to have children, can you wait a few years? It’s good to live together after marriage and strengthen your relationship!” Dong Qingqing herself got married early. “When I married your Brother Zhu, I had just turned eighteen, and seven or eight years have passed since then.”
Lin Qiyue also noticed that many people now have several children, but they are still very young.
"That sister-in-law, Xiao Le may not have accepted the process of a girl becoming a wife yet. We should let her get used to it before we can consider the next steps!"
Lin Qiyue felt that this kind of thing was also aggressive.
Moreover, the two are currently in the dating phase. If things get heated and they break up, that would be a huge mistake.
“It’s alright, I’m not in a hurry either. Xiao Le said we’ll talk about it in a few days.” Xing Jianguo immediately followed up on Lin Qiyue’s words, his eyes glancing at Su Xiao Le.
They chatted for more than half an hour, and then it got dark.
If one person wants to go back, it's not appropriate for the others to stay any longer.
After seeing them off at the door and saying their goodbyes, they all went home.
They planned to go shopping in the city the next day, since it was the weekend.
Lin Qiyue has taken on a part-time job and is currently unable to leave, so she politely declined everyone's invitations.
After closing the door, Lin Qiyue collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted.
"Honey, I feel so tired chatting with people!" Even though everyone is easy to get along with, it still takes time to maintain the relationship.
After all, now that she's in the family compound, she needs a few people to chat with.
Lan Yuchu didn't say much throughout the day; he just wanted his wife to get to know everyone.
"You've worked hard, my dear wife. Take a shower and rest now. I'll take you for a walk around the village tomorrow afternoon." Lan Yuchu sat down, took Lin Qiyue's hand, and gazed at his wife with tenderness and ambiguity.
Lin Qiyue lay there, staring at the man's expression.
She suddenly laughed and said, "Honey, you've never said you love me?"
Although they weren't very close, they had gotten to know each other better over the days.
She felt she couldn't live without him, and wanted the man to say some sweet words to comfort her.
Lan Yuchu suddenly frowned, his mind racing as he thought, "Then, wife, what do you want me to say?"
Lin Qiyue opened his hand and said angrily, "You're really clueless. Say something that makes me happy."
Lan Yuchu thought of something to say, then bent down and said, "I won't say it, but I'll show you with my actions~"
After saying that, he gently pressed his nose against hers.
