"Sister-in-law Mo!"
"Sister Chen!" Yu Qing'er smiled and nodded to the other party.
In fact, she was not used to being addressed like this at first. Everyone called each other sister-in-law according to their husband's surname. Later, she gradually got used to it. After all, they were more familiar with each other, but not that familiar - at least Yu Qing'er felt that when people called her Qing'er, they were not that close.
So this name now strikes a perfect sense of distance.
Whenever she sees a military wife she knows, Yu Qing'er will take the initiative to greet her, and everyone gets along politely. After all, their husbands are in the same army, and it always helps to have a harmonious relationship.
"Are you going out?"
"Yes, I want to buy some food."
"Mo Tuan is so lucky! There's food to eat as soon as you get home. Don't indulge yourself too much!"
"Not really. I'll wait for him to come and do it together." Yu Qing'er said honestly. She had done it in advance and also waited for others to come and do it together. She just didn't want people to think that Mo Hongshen did nothing at home.
Little did she know that Mrs. Chen became even more envious after hearing this.
"You have bad taste too. The girl from Mo Tuan is good-looking and still does housework at home. Your life is really enviable! The one at my house just comes home and waits for food, and doesn't help at all."
In the military compound, many sisters-in-law are unemployed. To them, men are heaven, and serving men is their most important job, so they basically do all the work at home.
Or perhaps, most women in this era are like this.
Yu Qing'er disagreed with this.
So after Mrs. Chen expressed her envy, Yu Qing'er didn't say anything else. After all, if she said too much, people would think she was doing it on purpose, which would be detrimental to the development of relations between neighbors.
"Mrs. Chen, I'll be leaving first. I still have to go buy groceries." Yu Qing'er said.
"Goodbye!"
When they went to buy groceries together, they met Mrs. Fang again. Yu Qing'er had a good impression of her. They were both younger military wives in the compound and had more common topics.
The two of them bought groceries together and chatted at the same time.
Mrs. Fang: "What vegetables are you going to buy tomorrow?"
Yu Qing'er: "I want to buy some chicken wings, potatoes and beef."
Mrs. Fang: "Your family's life is too easy, but it's also true that your husband is the head of the group, so his life is quite normal."
Once sensitive topics are involved, Yu Qing'er will become much more cautious.
"Yes, for the sake of convenience, I always fried some vegetables to get by in the past few days. My mouth is almost tasteless. I have to have some meat today." Yu Qing'er explained.
But Mrs. Fang didn't say anything. She was a carefree person and said whatever she thought. There was no such thing as hiding her true feelings in her words.
"By the way, Sister Mo, do you have a job?" Sister Fang asked curiously.
"Not yet," Yu Qing'er said honestly, without hiding anything. After all, the sisters-in-law in the compound were also potential customers. "But I plan to open my own clothing store in the future. What about you? Are you working?"
Mrs. Fang was a chatterbox. "I don't have a proper job. Most of the military wives in our compound are like this. They have to stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. When they have time, they can do some part-time jobs. I've done a lot of them before, such as helping people run stores and taking some small handicrafts to make at home. After all, they are charged by the piece, and everyone is in the same situation!"
