The family compound is actually quite lively in the evening. Even though many families have televisions, they don't keep them on all the time.
Adults prefer to chat in the yard.
Evenings at this time of year aren't very hot.
When Shen Jichuan took Wen Qiao out to deliver wedding candies, there were actually quite a few people in the courtyard.
"Deputy Division Commander Shen is free today, he's out for a stroll."
"Wow, this girl is pretty! When did you get a daughter in your family?"
The older woman who greeted Shen Jichuan originally lived in the countryside and had just come to the city to help her son take care of his child. Wen Qiao worked during the day and attended classes at night, and didn't like to go out, so she didn't actually know many people.
Shen Jichuan glanced at Wen Qiao beside him and said, "Auntie, take a good look, this is my girlfriend, Wen Qiao."
"We're having our wedding soon, so come to the banquet whenever you're free."
"Wen Qiao, grab some wedding candy for everyone."
Wen Qiao immediately grabbed some wedding candies from the bag and said with a smile, "Everyone, please have some wedding candies."
The children didn't care about the old man marrying a young wife; they ate the candy as soon as they saw it and crowded around Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao gave each of them two or three pieces, and also gave some to a few of the women who were chatting with her.
"He who eats another's food is bound to him," so these talkative women dared not gossip anymore. Instead, they kept praising Deputy Division Commander Shen, saying how lucky he was to have found such a beautiful wife.
Shen Jichuan achieved his goal. After saying a few words to everyone, he left with Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao thought Shen Jichuan would take her to Director Zhou's house, but the direction he was going was wrong...
Wen Qiao asked, "Aren't we going to Director Zhou's house?"
Shen Jichuan: "Let's go to Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's house first."
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang?
Wen Qiao suddenly thought of Yu Yuehong. Could it be Yu Yuehong's house?
Just as Wen Qiao was thinking, they arrived.
Shen Jichuan called out from the doorway, "Is Deputy Battalion Commander Wang home?"
Wang Qiangjun didn't come out, but Yu Yuehong came out of the main room first. The house they lived in was different from the houses of Shen Jichuan and others; it was an apartment building, and Wang Qiangjun's house happened to be on the first floor.
Hearing someone call, Yu Yuehong came out.
Upon seeing Shen Jichuan, Yu Yuehong immediately felt guilty.
"Deputy Division Commander Shen, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"
"Is Deputy Battalion Commander Wang not at home?" Shen Jichuan asked deliberately.
At this moment, Wang Qiangjun came out of the house with a steamed bun in his mouth. When he saw Shen Jichuan, he immediately came over to him politely.
"Deputy Division Commander Shen, what brings you here? What instructions do you have for me at this time? Please tell me."
Shen Jichuan remained aloof and serious.
But he reached into the pocket that Wen Qiao was holding and grabbed a handful of candy.
"Wen Qiao and I are getting married soon, so I'm bringing some wedding candy to your family. By the way, I'd like to tell your family that it wasn't Wen Qiao who seduced me; I was the one who took a liking to Wen Qiao first."
"As a military family member, you shouldn't always gossip."
"You guys go ahead and eat, we're leaving."
Having made his meaning clear enough, Shen Jichuan turned and left with Wen Qiao.
Wang Qiangjun stood there stunned for a long time before slapping Yu Yuehong across the face.
She angrily cursed, "You gossipy old woman, I told you long ago, talk less and do more, stop spouting useless nonsense, what did you promise me?"
"Now it's all good, even Deputy Division Commander Shen has come to see me."
"Deputy Division Commander Shen is getting married, what are you doing jumping around here? Do you think you're a badger in a melon patch?"
"Yu Yuehong, let me tell you, if I can't get ahead because of your foul mouth, we should break up now, and you can go back to where you came from."
