Shen Xiaobei brought back two musical instruments, which made Fan Huifang and Ke Xiaoli very happy. They couldn't help but try to play them immediately.
However, they all sound terrible.
The two of us laughed at each other and laughed happily together.
Then they all vowed that they must be the first to learn to play a complete song.
Seeing the two of them laughing and joking, Shen Xiaobei also felt in a good mood.
The ancients said that three women make a play, and where there are many women, there are many troubles.
This was indeed the case in the world before crossing over, especially in the online world, where violence was extremely strong. Keyboard warriors who were full of malice towards strangers and the world were everywhere on the Internet.
This is also the sad thing that Shen Xiaobei has always felt: the more developed the society is, the darker and uglier people's hearts become.
When I traveled to this era, it was the same when Kong Wanwan was around.
But now Kong Wanwan, this jealous and violent woman, has moved away.
There had never been any trouble between her, Fan Huifang, and Ke Xiaoli, (let's just say that the underage Ke Xiaoli is also a woman).
On the contrary, when one of them encounters trouble outside, the other two will tacitly stand with her.
Stand up and defend her.
The ancient saying that three women make a drama is no longer a derogatory phrase in their current educated youth center.
Knowing that Duan Xichuan would be staying in the hospital to take care of his grandmother for the next few days, Shen Xiaobei went to the commune to set up a stall every morning and went to the river to wash clothes in the evening, so she no longer had much hope of running into him again.
She thought that if he really had feelings for her, he would have taken the initiative to look for her before returning to the army this time.
Or ask Duan Beihai or Gao Hongmian to give her a message or something.
If he just left without doing anything, then...
Humph, there are handsome men everywhere in the world, so just let it be!
Shen Xiaobei asked and answered himself in his heart in a somewhat angry manner.
Although she has fallen in love with Duan Xichuan, it doesn't mean that she can't live a normal life without him. She is living a happy life with three women, Fan Huifang and Ke Xiaoli!
"Xiaobei!"
Five days later, when Shen Xiaobei went to the commune to set up a stall early in the morning, she heard a familiar voice calling her from afar not long after she arrived.
She looked up in surprise and saw that it was Gao Hongmian.
"Sister Hongmian, Brother Duan!"
"Hey, good morning, Xiaobei!"
Duan Donglin rode his bicycle to bring Gao Hongmian here, said hello to Shen Xiaobei, and after helping Gao Hongmian set up the stall, he hurried back to work.
"Sister Hongmian, has grandma been discharged from the hospital?"
"Yes, she was discharged yesterday! If Xichuan hadn't insisted that she stay in the hospital for two more days, grandma would have wanted to come back a long time ago. She always said she was bored staying in the hospital, haha. But I know she actually felt sorry for us spending extra money."
"Old people are like this. They feel bad that their younger generations spend more money on them. My grandmother used to be like this too."
The grandmother that Shen Xiaobei was talking about was her own grandmother who raised her since she was a child, not the original owner.
So, when I think of her, my heart feels warm but also a little sad. After all, grandma and she are far apart and can never see each other again.
"Oh, how is your grandma?"
"She's passed away!"
"Oh, I'm sorry Xiaobei, I didn't know your grandma wasn't around."
"It's okay, Sister Hongmian, I haven't told you about this before! Oh, by the way, Sister Hongmian, grandma is out of the hospital, so Second Brother Beihai should be gone too, right?"
After talking about grandma, Shen Xiaobei pretended to ask Gao Hongmian about Duan Xichuan casually.
"Yes, he left yesterday morning after we sent grandma home."
"Oh, such a rush!"
"Yes, Xichuan's departure was indeed quite hasty this time. He and I stayed in the hospital to take care of grandma for so many days, and he had to rush to the county town to catch a bus back to the army before he could even sit down! I can see how hard it was for him!"
"Haha, soldiers, naturally, have a harder time!"
"Oh, yes, that's why my mother-in-law has always felt sorry for him. She always said that he was the son who lived the farthest away from home and had the hardest life. She would often talk about him at home. Sometimes, when she talked about him, she would almost cry!"
"Haha, then Second Brother Beihai is quite lucky to have a mother who loves and cares about him so much!"
"That's right! But my mother-in-law loves all three of her sons, not just Xichuan. She's also very kind to Donglin and me, her eldest daughter-in-law!"
"Hahaha, if you put it that way, I'm pretty happy too!"
When talking about how good her mother-in-law was to her three sons and herself, Gao Hongmian couldn't hide her happiness.
When Shen Xiaobei saw it, he couldn’t help but feel a little envious.
Because she saw on Gao Hongmian's face what was written in those emotional chicken soup articles she read before she traveled through time, what it meant when a woman married the right person and the right family.
She then laughed and teased Gao Hongmian, "Sister Hongmian, you were already happy, you only realized it now!"
"The first time I saw you and Brother Duan, I knew you were a happy woman doted on by your husband! Look, it's true. Not only is your husband doting on you, but everyone in your in-laws is also doting on you! Oh, as a single dog like me, I really envy you!"
"Look at what you're saying, Xiaobei! What a dog! You're a young and beautiful girl, why are you talking so mean to yourself? Be careful that no matchmaker will dare to come to your house to act as a matchmaker in the future!"
"Hahaha, no matchmaker dares to come and act as my matchmaker?"
"Sister Hongmian, you really got it wrong! Let me tell you, a few months ago, matchmaker Zhu from our brigade came to me and acted as a matchmaker. However, I wasn't interested in blind dates and I wasn't dating that guy!"
