After Sun Dajiang left, Qin Huairu began packing her mother-in-law's clothes, and when she had some free time, she specially steamed a pot of small cornbread for her.
After finishing their work, the couple went to the neighborhood office. Jia Zhangshi went to clean the toilets, and they didn't even see her. They could only leave their things behind and leave in a hurry.
In the evening, Jia Zhangshi, who had just finished cleaning the toilet, dragged her exhausted body back to the cowshed. Her experience today had made her forget about the dirt.
I was so tired when I got back to the cowshed that I immediately lay down on the dry hay on the ground.
Looking back on today's experience, it was even worse than being in prison.
However, after finally making it to dinner, when the staff brought over the cornbread, Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but burst into tears. This was too much of a bullying! What could one small cornbread possibly do?
Of course, these were not the worst of it; what truly haunted Jia Zhangshi at night was her sleep.
Swarms of mosquitoes treated her like a live target; no matter where she hid, she couldn't escape being bitten.
A few days later, Jia Zhangshi, who had gradually adapted, was able to take a nap at night. It wasn't that the mosquitoes had become vegetarians, but rather that she had become numb to them.
Even the staff monitoring her were amazed; it seems that the environment can indeed change a person.
With Jia Zhangshi gone from the courtyard, apart from Jia Dongxu, nobody really cared; everyone was busy living their own little lives.
In the courtyard of Ju'er Hutong, Ning Xiaowei gave her final instructions before leaving for work in the morning.
"Zhengguo, my brother is a blockhead. You have to help him out today and try to set them up. If you can make it work, there will be a reward!"
After Ning Xiaowei finished speaking, she playfully winked and made a knowing look.
Holy crap!
Sun Zhengguo is determined to give it his all for this reward.
"Honey, don't worry! I'll do my best, but could you tell me what the reward is?"
Ning Xiaowei smiled without saying a word, got on her bicycle, and rode off into the distance.
Sun Zhengguo was left alone, standing at the door, lost in thought.
Not long after Ning Xiaowei left, Wang Aifang's younger sister, Wang Aihua, arrived as promised.
At first glance, Wang Aihua is the kind of girl who is demure and charming, making a good impression on people. She is even prettier than her sister, and she is more than a match for Ning Dazhuang, that blockhead.
Sun Zhengguo felt there was a chance; it seemed his brother-in-law had a good chance of finding a partner.
After Wang Aifang introduced them and they became acquainted, Wang Aihua also called him "Big Brother".
This left Sun Zhengguo feeling helpless; if Wang Aihua and Ning Dazhuang got together, the way they addressed each other would really be a mess.
"Oh well! Never mind, at least things won't be chaotic for now."
Sun Zhengguo tried to console himself.
"Brother Zhengguo, Brother Dazhuang is coming over later, is there anything I need to be careful about?"
Wang Aihua asked shyly.
There was no other way. Ever since my sister came home and told us about it, the family members understood the situation and all expressed their unanimous support.
Although Ning Dazhuang is 6 years older than her, his qualifications are undeniable! Is being 6 years older really a problem?
For the sake of her future happiness, she was prepared to take a chance and see if she could get some useful information in advance.
“Aihua, you just need to take the initiative. My brother-in-law is a man who spends most of his time in the military. He might be able to fight, but if you ask him to talk about love, he probably won’t say a word for a long time.”
"hehe!"
"Brother Zhengguo, you're so funny. Maybe all soldiers are like that! That's called being upright."
"Okay! Girl, it seems you have a good opinion of soldiers. I think you two have a chance. Maybe in the future I'll have to call you sister-in-law."
Well! The term "future sister-in-law" made Wang Aihua blush deeply, unsure whether to respond or not.
"Beep beep beep!"
Several car horns broke the awkward silence, and Wang Aifang quickly led her sister inside to begin acting out the pre-arranged script.
After the two entered the house, Ning Dazhuang walked in from outside.
"Zhengguo, there's something going on at the military base. I'm not late, am I?"
"It's not late, brother. Please have a seat. I'll make myself a cup of tea."
Ning Dazhuang didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly on the bench under the pomegranate tree.
A moment later, Sun Zhengguo brought over a teacup and handed it to Ning Dazhuang.
"Brother, have some tea."
"Thanks!"
After finishing his cup of tea, Ning Dazhuang knew it was time to get down to business, so he stood up and prepared to run to the kitchen.
"No, brother, what are you doing?"
"Go to the kitchen and start a fire! What else can you do? Are you going to take pity on me and start a fire for me?"
"hey-hey!"
"You're a soldier after all, that's some serious awareness. Alright! I was going to give you some pointers, but since you're willing to be a cook, then go for it!"
Ning Dazhuang immediately realized there was a hidden meaning in those words; was there really such a good thing?
"No, brother-in-law, we're like family! Just tell me! What exactly is this scheme?"
"Alright, alright! Who told you to be my brother-in-law? Aifang said to call her if we need to start a fire."
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he didn't care what Ning Dazhuang was thinking and went straight into the house to get the medicine.
Ning Dazhuang was alone there. After thinking it over again and again, he finally decided to ask Wang Aifang for help. He was fine with the gun, but he was really no good with the fire poker.
So Ning Dazhuang arrived at Wang Aifang's house, but instead of going in, he stood outside and called out.
"Is Aifang there?"
Hearing the shouts, the two sisters inside the house gave Wang Aifang a wink, and Wang Aihua immediately understood and walked towards the door.
"Who are you? What do you want with my sister?"
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Ning Dazhuang was momentarily stunned and unsure how to respond.
"Oh! I know, you're Brother Ning, right?"
Ning Dazhuang, who was unsure how to respond, was surprised that this cute girl recognized him.
"Hey girl, my surname is Ning. I don't know what your relationship is with Wang Aifang."
“Brother Ning, I am Wang Aifang’s younger sister, my name is Wang Aihua. My sister told me that you would come to see her, so I guessed it was you. She went out to do something, but don’t worry, I’ll help you start the fire.”
After Wang Aihua finished speaking, before Ning Dazhuang could react, she rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
By the time Ning Dazhuang realized what was happening, Wang Aihua had already gone into the kitchen. Feeling embarrassed, he quickly followed her.
Upon arriving in the kitchen, Wang Aihua first filled the pot with water, then skillfully started a fire and added firewood, completing the entire action in one smooth motion.
Ning Dazhuang, who followed in later, saw the situation and couldn't very well run away to find some peace and quiet, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay in the kitchen.
“Brother Ning, you can go ahead and do what you need to do. You don’t need to stay here. I can manage on my own.”
"I'm not busy either, so I'll just keep you company and chat for a bit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Dazhuang felt it was inappropriate, worried that it might cause a misunderstanding.
"That's not what I meant. I just feel a little bad leaving you here alone."
"What does Brother Ning mean? You don't want to chat with your little sister?"
Well! Ning Dazhuang realized that he was really bad at dealing with girls. He kept going in circles and ended up blushing bright red.
"Just kidding, Brother Ning, you won't mind, will you?"
Wang Aihua appears to be a demure young lady, but she's actually quite quirky and playful. Surrounded by Ning Dazhuang, a blockhead, she doesn't seem dull at all.
"I don't mind, as long as you don't find me boring."
Ning Dazhuang was indeed a bit reserved around girls, but Wang Aihua was very talkative, and the two actually managed to chat together.
By the end of the conversation, the water had been boiled twice, but Sun Zhengguo still hadn't arrived.
