"Sister, you are Captain Fu's wife, right?"
The young wife from the opposite door came out with smiling eyes and round face. At first glance, she looked like a grown-up painted doll, which made people unconsciously like her.
Jiang Yuman also had a good first impression of her and nodded, "Yes."
"Captain Fu is so lucky to have such a beautiful wife." What the other party said was very true.
Jiang Yuman recalled that during this period, she had met many military wives who were very kind to her, so she also said, "You too."
"Oh, if you are good-looking, you will speak sweetly. I know what I look like!"
The two chatted briefly, and Jiang Yuman learned that the other person's name was Du Qiuxi, the wife of the commander of the third battalion.
Just three months ago, she brought her children to join the army.
Du Qiuxi was a very outgoing person, and while she was talking, she saw Jiang Yuman open the door and followed her in.
However, since the two were talking, Jiang Yuman didn't think too much about it.
Everyone in the family compound is of the same status and they are very warm to each other. Mrs. Bai from next door often comes over to chat with her.
Du Qiuxi found a random seat in the yard and sat down, praising their table and basin from time to time.
Finally, she asked casually, "By the way, Sister Yuman, your baby is still young, right?"
"Not even one year old."
Du Qiuxi said: "My baby is only a little older than yours. You need to take good care of a baby who is not even one year old."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuman was a little surprised, "You have a child?"
It's no wonder she was surprised, the other person looked very young and didn't look like a mother at all.
"Yes, there is also a boy."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the gate of the next door open.
Du Qiuxi instantly remembered her past and lowered her voice, "Sister Yuman, I came here this time because I want to ask you for a favor."
"What help?" Jiang Yuman glanced and didn't agree directly.
The liking I had for Du Qiuxi just now disappeared at this moment.
"Family members accompanying the troops can go to the military area to work in the factory."
Du Qiuxi didn't notice and said what she was thinking directly, "Your baby is not even one year old yet. You can let one sheep go, or two sheep go. Sister Yuman, see if you are willing to help take care of my baby."
"When I get my salary, I will give you money too."
There was something suggestive of negotiation in the conversation, and the tone was very nice.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuman fell silent.
So, the other party saw that her child was still young and wanted to use her place as a nursery and ask her to help take care of the child?
For a moment, she was speechless.
How can herding one sheep or two sheep be compared with a child?
As long as she agrees, the safety of their children will be with her in the future. If something really happens, who will take the responsibility?
"Sister Yuman," Du Qiuxi said tentatively when she saw Jiang Yuman was still silent, "What do you think?"
"Not very good."
Jiang Yuman refused directly, "It's better for the mother to take care of the child herself. I don't have the energy for that."
"How could there not be?"
Du Qiuxi was a little anxious, "Sister Yuman, I heard that you used to be a primary school teacher in a rural area. It should be easy for you to take care of children."
Jiang Yuman has been here for so long that she usually chats with the sister-in-law next door.
Those sisters-in-law occasionally went out to gossip, and Du Qiuxi would hear them.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have waited for Jiang Yuman today.
Ever since she joined the army, she has always wanted to work in a factory to earn a salary, but unfortunately her child is still young.
Now that Fu Siyi is younger, he feels that as long as he offers to give money, Jiang Yuman will definitely agree. Now that I've been rejected, I'm filled with disbelief.
“There’s a big difference between elementary school students and babies.”
Jiang Yuman had no good feelings towards her at all and said directly, "I have my own things to do, you can find someone else."
Du Qiuxi's face froze and he left after sitting for a short while.
As soon as she went out, Jiang Yuman quickly closed the gate.
"Girl, did the guy next door come to your house just now?" Bai Ping asked, standing at the courtyard wall.
The walls of the family compound are low, so you can chat without a stool.
Jiang Yuman nodded.
"Don't pay attention to her." Bai Ping curled her lips, "Don't be fooled by her smiling face all day long, she has bad eyes."
After a pause, he asked, "What did she just say to you?"
Jiang Yuman knew Bai Ping's character, so she roughly told him what had just happened.
"Luckily you didn't agree!"
Bai Ping warned: "Otherwise, given their family's situation, you'll be in trouble."
She wanted to talk to Jiang Yuman about the situation, but at this moment, the two children at home started crying.
Bai Ping could only walk over and settle the case while cursing.
Seeing that she was busy, Jiang Yuman didn't wait any longer. She put Xiaoyi aside and started cooking.
The child needs more care as he grows up. Jiang Yuman needs to keep an eye on him even when she is cooking.
Fortunately, Xiaoyi was a relatively thrifty child. He only moved his hands and feet from time to time and did not struggle or cause any trouble.
Seeing his chubby little body almost lying on his legs, pinching his feet and looking at her, Jiang Yuman felt funny and a little painful.
Nowadays, most chairs are for adults to sit on, unlike later generations when there are special chairs for children.
He sat uncomfortably.
Jiang Yuman was thinking about taking some time to draw a picture to see if she could find someone to make a small chair for her.
When Fu Jingchen came back in the evening, she mentioned it to him.
Fu Jingchen said: "I will go to the next military district to do some business in a few days. I will do it then."
"What are you doing?" Jiang Yuman asked curiously.
"Go pick someone up."
As soon as Fu Jingchen saw her look, he knew what she was thinking, "I can't take you out."
Seeing Jiang Yuman folding her hands and not saying anything, he paused and coaxed her, "Wait another week, when I'm on vacation, I'll take leave to take you and Xiaoyi out."
Jiang Yuman reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Then he took the letter from the table and said, "By the way, the letter from my parents arrived today. I thought I would wait for you to come back and open it."
Fu Jingchen held Fu Siyi in his arms, tore open the envelope, and the three of them leaned together to read the letter.
The handwriting in the two letters is clear, and you can tell at a glance that they are from two different people. In the letter from Fu's mother, she concerned about everyone in detail and expressed her longing for them.
In Fu Wangshan's letter, half was exhortations to the adults, and the remaining half was inquiries about Xiaoyi's situation.
For example, can you call grandpa and grandma now? Can you be more cute?
The last words are: take care of your wife, children and family, don't worry too much, please send Xiaoyi's photo when you have time.
Looking at these words, Jiang Yuman and Fu Jingchen looked at each other, as if they could imagine the feelings of the old couple when they wrote these words.
The two adults watched it seriously, but Xiaoyi lost interest after a moment and reached out to grab it.
Fu Jingchen held his son's hand, picked him up and observed him carefully, then wrote back to his father.
The first sentence is: Xiaoyi seems to be a little cuter, but he still can't call grandpa and grandma, and he can't even call Haitang right. Manman and I will continue to teach him...
