Chapter 89: Brain Explosion
"It's me, who are you?" When Lin Xia heard this, she knew that it was someone who knew Lu Yuxiu, but she still asked politely.
"I'm Pei Xiu, the director of the Women's Federation. I heard that Xiao Lu's wife joined the army, so I came to see you." Pei Xiu had heard that she was beautiful, but it was still not as amazing as seeing her in person.
She was wearing a simple white shirt and black pants, which were obviously ordinary clothes, but she looked different from others, not to mention her outstanding appearance.
Her hair is tied loosely behind her head, revealing a palm-sized face. What attracts the most attention is her pair of peach blossom eyes. When she looks at you, there seem to be little hooks in them, which make people think of some impure things.
But when she smiled, her brightness and gentleness instantly diluted that sense of charm, making people feel favorable towards her.
"Hello, Director Pei. Sorry, I went out to buy groceries. Please come in and have a seat." When Lin Xia heard that he was looking for her, she asked her to go back.
Director Pei followed Lin Xia back. She thought she had made a wasted trip today as she didn’t expect to meet him again.
"Is this the child?" Pei Xiu looked at An An's age and suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Huh? You know?" Lin Xia heard this. Does she know An An's life experience?
"I was in charge of this matter at the time." The incident happened suddenly, but Lu Yuxiu, an unmarried young man, wanted to adopt a child, so some procedures had to go through them.
"It's her, An An, say hello to Auntie." Lin Xia gently touched the little girl's head and asked her to call someone.
"Hello, Auntie~" The little guy didn't understand what they said and just called out obediently.
Pei Xiu's heart was trembling with delight at the little baby voice. She had never expected to meet this child and see that she was raised so well. Seeing how close she was to Lin Xia, she knew that they must be getting along very well.
After entering the room, Lin Xia asked Director Pei to sit down. She put down what she was holding and went to pour water for the person.
There was nothing at home except some white sugar and brown sugar. Lin Xia first soaked them in boiling water, and then added the boiled water she had prepared in the morning.
I traveled light at the beginning, and many things were mailed to me. I almost forgot that I had to go to the post office to check whether the things had arrived.
Pei Xiu saw her going to pour water and took the opportunity to look around the house. Lu Yuxiu had made quite a fuss when renovating the house, so it was indeed an extraordinary sight.
Others couldn't tell from the outside, but the inside was as bright as new. When the back door opened, a cool breeze blew in, and I felt a little hot from walking, but I instantly cooled down.
Maybe because they had just arrived and didn't have much stuff, the place was cleaned up very neatly. The most obvious thing was the large and small bags that Lin Xia had just put down, as well as the vegetables in the bags.
"Director Pei, please drink some water."
"Oh, thank you." Pei Xiu didn't mind seeing that it was just boiled water. He politely picked it up and took a sip. He found it sweet and there was some surprise in his eyes.
"I'm not in a hurry. You go and clean it up first." Pei Xiu saw her sitting in front of him and was afraid that the seafood he bought would go bad, so he asked her to clean it up.
Lin Xia did not refuse after hearing this. She stood up and put the fish and shrimp into the water. After she had sorted out the seafood, she put the bought jackfruit into a plate and took it out.
"Director Pei, please have some fruit."
Lin Xia put down the plate, called An An over, took out the core and handed the flesh to her.
Pei Xiu watched her actions. An An obediently ran over and nestled into her arms, looking very dependent, with her eyes sparkling.
"Generally, when military wives come, they first go to the Women's Federation to register and then wait for a suitable job to become available." Pei Xiu said softly. She waited and waited but no one came, but the word about her had spread everywhere, so she took the initiative to find her.
"I'm sorry, I don't know much about these things." Lin Xia originally wanted to join the army not because of Tu's job search. She hasn't gotten familiar with the things on the island in the past two days, and she forgot to register.
"How do you feel about the island? Have you been living well these past two days? Are there any difficulties?"
Pei Xiu heard that and frowned slightly when he saw that she seemed to be unaware of those words.
If she heard it, she could step in to stop it, but she couldn't stop people from gossiping. She couldn't stop people from talking behind her back.
When Lin Xia heard this, she didn't quite understand, and she was impatient with the beating around the bush. "Director Pei, I just came here these two days and haven't left the house except to buy groceries. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Pei Xiu was startled by these straightforward words, but she was a little happy in her heart. Seeing that she looked charming and gentle, she was worried that she would be the kind of person who would gossip about others, but now she felt that it suited her personality very well. "There are quite a few people in the family area, and with more people there are more things that can gossip about you. In addition, some things happened in the past, so there will definitely be people talking about you."
At this point, Pei Xiu looked at Lin Xia and saw that she was listening carefully without any emotion on her face, so he continued, "I don't know if Xiao Lu has told you. You can ask Xiao Lu tonight."
"The main reason I came here today is to ask you if you are willing to work. It should be easy for you to find a job after graduating from high school." Pei Xiu saw that she was not impatient after hearing those words, so she took the initiative to explain her purpose.
"If there is a job, I'd be willing to give it a try." Lin Xia smiled and agreed when she heard Director Pei say that.
"If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. Our Women's Federation is to help women." Pei Xiu finished drinking the water, finished speaking, and prepared to leave.
"Don't send me off, just don't send me off." Pei Xiu saw Lin Xia was going to send him off and hurriedly stopped her.
Lin Xia sent her to the gate of the yard before returning.
"Is anyone home?"
As soon as Lin Xia stepped into the door, she heard a voice behind her and wondered what was going on and why someone else came.
Turning around, she saw two unfamiliar women standing there. Lin Xia walked over and asked, "Who are you?"
"Why don't you let us come in and sit down?" One of the long-faced women said with a smile.
"We are all military wives. We heard that you were here, so we came to see you." The other one's words were more pleasant to hear.
Lin Xia thought about it. It was their first meeting. No matter what, she decided to let them go in first. "Then come in."
After opening the gate to the yard, the two walked around and looked around. The yard was bare and empty. The long-faced woman curled her lips with disappointment in her eyes.
"Why is your yard so bare? There's nothing there?"
Lin Xia was speechless when she heard this. She had only been here for less than two days, so how could they expect her to grow anything?
"Yeah, I just arrived and I have nothing, so I was hoping you would bring something for me." Lin Xia replied with a smile.
The long-faced woman was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect her to say that. She stopped talking and looked around.
When the other woman heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, but she did not respond.
Lin Xia didn't understand what these two people meant, and they came to her house to point fingers.
"Hey! What is this?" The long-faced woman didn't see anything, so she looked at the clothesline. She was originally attracted by the dress, and when she was about to take a look at it, she saw a small piece of cloth next to it and immediately became curious.
Walking forward, the woman was about to touch her.
"Wait a minute, it's not dry yet." Seeing that she wanted to touch it, Lin Xia's brain exploded instantly and she stopped her directly. If she let her touch it, she would have to take it off and wash it again.
The long-faced woman was so frightened by the angry shout that she trembled and asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong?"
The other woman also looked puzzled.
