Watching her father's departing figure, Zhang Lezhen bit her lower lip, tears silently streaming down her face.
It's been like this since she was little. Her parents never cared about her feelings and always made her lose face.
She thought this time the book club would be different.
This is what happened on the first day.
Xu Chunmai picked up the bag of candy from the table again.
She pulled Zhang Lezhen's hand and put it directly inside.
Zhang Lezhen looked at Xu Chunmai with teary eyes, "Chunmai, I..."
“If you think I’m meddling, there’s nothing I can do. But this bag of candy was bought with my husband’s money. We don’t want your father and your two younger brothers to eat it; that’s our right.”
Zhang Lezhen wasn't stupid; she naturally knew what was going on.
"Chunmai, thank you all." Zhang Lezhen said with a self-deprecating smile, "Don't laugh at me, I... I've never eaten candy before."
Xu Chunmai took out a handkerchief and wiped away Zhang Lezhen's tears, saying, "From now on, there will be lots of sweets, and life will get sweeter and sweeter."
Zhang Lezhen nodded, "Yes, thank you."
After Fu Linchuan settled all of Xu Chunmai's belongings, he went out with her.
The two of them went to the cafeteria.
On the way, Fu Linchuan was still praising Xu Chunmai, saying, "My wife has excellent eloquence; she will be a good teacher in the future."
Xu Chunmai smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, my love."
After Fu Linchuan accompanied Xu Chunmai to eat at her school cafeteria, he returned to his own school.
After all, Xu Chunmai's school started, and Fu Linchuan's school also started.
When Fu Linchuan returned to the dormitory, Lu Gaoliang and the others had already returned.
"Da Chuan, why are you only just getting back?"
Fu Linchuan said, "I'm taking my wife to school; they're registering today."
"Oh dear, I forgot to ask," Lu Gaoliang asked, "Did your wife get into a teachers' college?"
Meng Ziping said, "Look at the question you're asking. Your sister-in-law definitely has to pass the exam."
Xiong Zhenghao asked, "Is it registration day at the Normal University? Are your sisters-in-law and the others doing military training?"
He Qingyang sighed, "Military training is really tiring."
Wu Bin said, "If it's military training, prepare more food for your sister-in-law. Seriously, I was starving last year, I got hungry so fast."
Fu Linchuan listened as the group started chatting, each taking turns to say something.
He finally began to answer their questions.
“Yes, I accompanied her to the teachers’ college to complete the registration this year before coming back. They also have military training and are leaving the day after tomorrow,” Fu Linchuan said. “As for food, there’s no way to bring any. Didn’t they check everything when we entered the military camp last year?”
Wu Bin thought about it and said, "That makes sense. My wife must be suffering a lot during military training."
Fu Linchuan laughed and said, "No way, my wife is healthy and has great stamina, she's amazing."
Lu Gaoliang's eyes widened. "Really? Your sister-in-law looks like a delicate and pretty young girl."
Fu Linchuan said, "Your sister-in-law used to be able to do the work of three people at once when she was doing farm work. She was very capable."
"Linchuan, you're no good either." Lu Gaoliang finally found an opportunity to tease Fu Linchuan a few times. "You even made your sister-in-law do farm work."
Fu Linchuan nodded. "Indeed, I was wrong, so I corrected it later."
Lu Gaoling gave Fu Linchuan a thumbs up, "Not bad, not bad. It's great that you can admit your mistakes and correct them."
"My sister-in-law is in college now, let's get together sometime."
Fu Linchuan said, "Okay, let's wait until their military training is over."
Early the day after tomorrow, Xu Chunmai and the others went to the military camp.
Military training is tiring.
But for Xu Chunmai, compared to the hardships she had endured in the past, it was nothing at all.
Life is not stressful at all now, and I don't have to worry about Wu Chunhua's daily harassment.
Everything here was wonderful to her.
Xu Chunmai now has fair skin and is very beautiful.
Dressed in a green military uniform, she exudes a charming yet heroic air, making her truly captivating.
Fan Xinli went to pick up Fu Linchuan to discuss one last thing.
Fu Linchuan was eager to see Xu Chunmai.
Fan Xinli had met Xu Chunmai before, and he laughed, "You little rascal, you're missing your wife so much you can't eat or sleep, are you?"
Fu Linchuan laughed and said, "Uncle Fan, any family with such a beautiful daughter-in-law would probably be so eager to have her that they couldn't eat or sleep."
The military vehicle drove in, and Fan Xinli even asked where the teachers' college was training, and then took Fu Linchuan there directly.
It was lunchtime, and everyone had just finished eating in the cafeteria and was preparing to return to their dormitories.
Fan Xinli asked, "Should I tell their instructor to have Chunmai come over so you two can have a chat?"
Fu Linchuan waved his hand, "No need, no need, Uncle Fan, I just need to take a look. I can't break the rules because of me, and I don't want my wife to be distracted."
Fu Linchuan stood far away by a big tree, watching Xu Chunmai and Chen Xia return to their lodgings after they dispersed.
Fan Xinli laughed and said, "You're lucky, lad, to have such a good wife so early in life."
Fu Linchuan nodded with a smile, "Yes, luckily I acted quickly back then, otherwise I would have regretted it to the core."
He watched as Xu Chunmai walked to the door, when suddenly someone called out to her.
Fu Linchuan raised his eyebrows; he was a boy holding a lunchbox.
When Xu Chunmai heard the shout, she turned around and saw that it was a boy from her class named Zhu Jianzhong.
"Xu Chunmai, have you finished eating? I made some peach shortbread, thinking you could have some if you're hungry."
Xu Chunmai was quite surprised. They had checked the items when they came in and told them not to bring these things.
However, this is not something she should care about.
"Thank you, but I'm not hungry and I don't eat these. You can take them back."
Zhu Jianzhong was clearly disappointed; he didn't give away the things he was holding.
He took a liking to Xu Chunmai at first glance during the class meeting.
With that, Xu Chunmai turned around and started to walk inside.
Zhu Jianzhong called out, "Xu Chunmai!"
Is there anything else?
"I just wanted to ask if there's anything you like that I can get for you. We're here for military training, it's quite tough."
Xu Chunmai said, "There's nothing I like. If I did like something, my husband would get it for me. Thank you for your concern."
This is quite clear; she's telling Zhu Jianzhong that she's married.
If Zhu Jianzhong has any ideas, he should put them aside.
