Hong Meiting insulted others without cause, and not only did she have to apologize in person, but she also had to write a self-criticism and have it recorded in her file, adding a stain to her originally bright future.
Shishi added thoughtfully, "Dad, she thinks her job is too easy. Let her sweep the pigsty when she has free time. The soldiers in the canteen have to cook and raise pigs, so their job is very tiring."
Thus, the cooks gained an extra, reluctant helper, with the deadline ending when the pigs were harvested.
Hong Meiting didn't understand. She just wanted to date the person she liked, so how did it come to this?
*
"Xiaomingzi, I've found you some help. Someone else is coming to clean the pigsty. Aren't you happy?"
Seeing his little darling twice in one day, with the second visit specifically to see him, made Ming Hailiang a little nervous.
"Sister-in-law, has someone committed another crime?"
My gut feeling is that the person has fallen into her hands; didn't you see the corners of her mouth were all up in a smirk?
And those three spirited chickens, they looked like victorious roosters.
Looking at the three little kids, all of them looking excited, could it be that the man was beaten up by a group of people?
"Yes, she's a pretty woman. You need to be careful. She's not a good person and she lies. Oh, and she wants to marry Xiao Zhengzi."
Ming Hailiang was filled with questions. Who was Xiao Zhengzi? Why was she telling him this?
In the past few months, he has been responsible for arranging jobs for the military dependents who have been punished. He has no interest in or concern himself with the rest.
He wasn't interested, but that didn't stop Shishi from giving him a unilateral heads-up.
“The pretty comrade is named Hong Meiting. She wanted to marry my father’s bodyguard, Xiao Zhengzi, but he refused. You’re so nice to me, I’m worried she might change her mind.”
Ming Hailiang was incredibly excited.
My sister-in-law thinks he's great.
From initially being enemies because of pigs to no longer being disliked by her, it was a heartbreaking journey.
He felt incredibly grateful to have shed the "bad guy" label, but unexpectedly, he's now being labeled a "good guy."
Oh my, the Ming family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke! His future is bright!
As for who Xiao Zhengzi is, and whether Hong Meiting is good or bad, who cares?
Shishi had no idea that he was imagining all sorts of things; she just found his fawning manner a bit cringe-worthy.
She's quite good-looking, so why is she so silly?
"Xiaomingzi, can you swim?"
Ming Hailiang's smile froze on his face; he felt like there was something wrong with his ears.
Sister-in-law, you changed the subject a bit too quickly.
"Yes, I know how, sister-in-law, why are you asking that?"
Almost all the soldiers stationed on the island, except for the female soldiers, can swim; this is a basic requirement. Those who cannot swim are also required to learn to swim when they are transferred over.
“I’ve found a suitable female comrade for you. Her requirements are that she can cook and swim. I only know that you can cook, but I didn’t know that you can swim, so I came to ask her to clarify.”
She was a responsible matchmaker.
Ming Hailiang: ...You said you were looking for her this morning, and you found her this afternoon. You're such a good sister-in-law, so efficient.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not planning to find a wife yet. I'll consider it after Mingzhu gets married."
"Oh, I see. I'll save it for you."
Ming Hailiang: ...You can do it like that?
Staying was out of the question, so the matchmaker, Zhou, got the answer and immediately got to work.
There's a saying that good food is worth waiting for, and a good marriage is worth waiting for, but she was in a hurry.
What needs to be done today, should be done today.
"By the way, what are your requirements?"
I didn't ask him what he wanted before, so it's fair to ask now.
Faced with expectant faces, Ming Hailiang had to reveal: "As long as you love my sister, take care of your family, and the family is harmonious, that's enough."
He'd seen plenty of conflicts between sisters-in-law, but his sister was his only remaining family member, and he couldn't lose her just to get married.
Shishi wrote the requirements in her notebook in a crooked and messy manner.
A mother-in-law who doesn't want to be difficult will simply have no mother-in-law at all.
A child who demands to dote on their younger sister, has happy parents as role models, and a domineering grandmother as a contrast, should understand the importance of family harmony.
Sister Ming has a son, she has a job, and she's beautiful and generous. You couldn't find a sister-in-law like that even with a lantern. Just get along well with her.
Hehe, they both expect the other to take care of their family, so they must take care of their own families too. They're a perfect match!

Fang Xiao was organizing logistics documents when she was startled by a bunch of heads suddenly piled up against the door frame, and the documents almost fell over.
While anxiously protecting the documents, I accidentally bumped into the tea mug next to me. The tea mug fell to the ground with a thud, spilling all the water inside. The tea mug, which was already full of historical marks, now had a dent.
Fang Xiao was used to being frugal and felt bad about the teacup, so she put down her documents to pick it up, but she slipped and fell on her bottom.
Her outstretched foot kicked the teacup away, and with another thud, the teacup flew into the wall, then crashed to the ground and rolled to her feet, breaking a hole in it, thus successfully meeting its end.
Fang Xiao: ......
The bunch of heads perched on the doorframe were also stunned.
Are they so excited because they just showed their heads?
One person, one teacup, and they put on a show right there?
The pain in her buttocks was nothing compared to the pain in her flesh. Fang Xiao picked up the teacup that had been with her for several years, her face full of reluctance.
He glanced at the group still slumped against the doorframe, his lips twitching. "What do you want?"
She didn't think the other person was looking for her; she assumed they were just hanging out nearby and happened to wander over.
Shishi didn't plan to go in; she just stayed where she was and relayed the message.
"Sister Fang, I've found you a very suitable partner. He meets all your requirements. When are you free? I'll arrange a blind date for you two."
I didn't ask Xiaomingzi earlier because Chou Chou said that men should accommodate women; that's called good manners.
