Chapter 25: Chief Gu's Young Wife
Su Ying could only respond awkwardly, thinking, "Why don't you tell me where Mrs. Wu's house is?"
The man talked for a long time and finally got to the point, pointing to a yard in front.
"That's the one with the fenced vegetable garden. They're probably cooking right now. Look, there's smoke coming out of the chimney. Go quickly. I live next to hers. If you're bored, come over and talk to my wife. She's from Northeast China and very outgoing."
Su Ying couldn't help laughing.
"Brother, you are actually very generous."
After thanking them, Su Ying looked at the chimney of Mrs. Wu's house and wondered if it would be inappropriate for her to go there now. It would feel a bit awkward to run into someone else having a meal there.
But she didn't know the other sister-in-law, so she had to go to Sister Wu's house first before she could find the other one.
After thinking about it, she went to the cafeteria first.
This was her first time in the cafeteria. Of course, she had only been married for a few days, but there were so many people in the cafeteria. At first glance, it was a sea of people in green military uniforms, all tall and straight, walking with the wind.
Su Ying stood at the door, looking at these spirited soldiers, and her mood felt much better, and she was full of energy.
But when she walked towards the window, she saw someone she knew, Li Weimin.
There weren't many women here, and Su Ying was wearing a white sweater and black trousers. She looked light and pretty, and attracted a lot of attention just by standing there.
After waiting in line for a long time, Su Ying felt uncomfortable being stared at, and finally it was her turn.
She stood by the window and spoke to the fat chef serving food inside.
"I want one meat dish, two vegetables, two steamed buns, and one rice."
Her voice was crisp and clear, with the unique clarity of a young girl.
This time, there were more people around her. A slightly plump woman patted the young soldier standing in front of her.
"Are you stunned? You don't even want to eat? Teacher Lin never saw you like this when he came to eat before."
When it comes to Teacher Lin, many people are embarrassed. They all want to pursue her but fail. Teacher Lin is an elementary school teacher and lives in the staff housing compound with her uncle. She is beautiful and cultured. Many young soldiers like her. However, she has high standards and looks down on ordinary people. This has not stopped people from showing their courtesy to her. She has always been a celebrity in this compound.
The soldier scratched his head in embarrassment, but couldn't help but glance at Su Ying.
She had a curvy figure, and even the sweater showed off her slender waist. Her hair was long and white, and in the eyes of those who trained in the wind and sun all day, Su Ying was so white and glowing.
"This girl looks so thin, but I didn't expect she can eat so much."
"What can be eaten? Maybe they are making food for their family. I don't know whose daughter she is. Who has such a beautiful daughter? Why don't I have any impression of her?"
The women were discussing and staring at Su Ying.
The fat woman took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and ate them while waiting in line.
"Is this Chief Gu's daughter-in-law? I saw her yesterday when she came in by car. Judging from her figure, it must be her."
As soon as the fat woman finished speaking, someone started teasing her.
"Sister Yan, you have a very good memory for figures."
The fat woman spat at the melon seed shells.
"Go, there aren't many young girls in our courtyard except Teacher Lin. But this girl looks really too young. How much older is she than Chief Gu?"
When the others heard this, they seemed quite excited, and some of them even came straight up to Su Ying.
"Hey, are you Chief Gu's family?"
Su Ying took the aluminum lunch box from the chef, closed the lid, and nodded slightly.
"Um"
