"Forget it, don't say it. If she hears it, she will never associate with us again. Her son is an officer, there will always be a time when he won't be useful. When my son is older, I will let him join the army to defend our country!"
The important thing is to save her face. If she tells others that she has a son who is an officer, others will look up to her.
When Miao Xiuying returned home, He Miao carried Niuniu on her back with a back fan and cleaned everywhere. She kept the house in tidiness.
She waved: "Xiao He, come here, I want to tell you something!"
He Miao stopped what he was doing, shook Niuniu on his back, and asked with a smile: "Mom, what's wrong? If you have anything to say, tell me, I'm listening!"
Miao Xiuying walked in a hurry and was sweating. He Miao poured her some water, and she gulped it down and wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth.
She said, "Xiao He, we plan to go to the island in a few days. First, Xiao Yan misses us. Second, we need to arrange Xiao Li's marriage. He is not a child anymore and we are all anxious. Third, we want to take the second child with us. We will let you take over for a few days at the supply and marketing cooperative. We will give you the salary for those days. Can you do it?"
Of course He Miao was happy to be able to go to work. She nodded and said, "Mom, sure. I'll send Niuniu to her grandmother and ask her to take care of her for a few days. How long do you want to stay? I'm not used to you not being at home. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. It's all about helping each other."
An old person in the family is like a treasure, and Miao Xiuying is the backbone. She can keep order at home.
Miao Xiuying said uncertainly: "I'll play there for two or three months. I'll call you when the time comes for details. I'm sorry to bother you with family matters.
If you have anything, send me a telegram. Lao Er won't be here for long. Let's put things in perspective. Take it if you give it to me."
Regardless of whether or not we can complement each other, we can't just ignore the work!
He Miao said in a gentle voice: "Mom, don't worry and go have fun! I will clean up the house. When the second child is born, we will have more sisters-in-law. In the future, the New Year will be very lively! We will also have someone to talk to and give advice."
He Miao had a gentle personality and Miao Xiuying liked her very much. She turned into the house, took out the shoes she had made and stuffed them into her hands.
"Mom, this...is this for me?" He Miao was a little surprised. He thought it was made for Jiang Yan, but he didn't expect that there would be a share for him.
Miao Xiuying glared at her: "What do you think of your mother? What she has, you have too, take it!"
He Miao was still somewhat moved, and her voice was hoarse: "Thank you, mother!"
She really found a good mother-in-law! In other families, the daughter-in-law does it for the old lady, which is the opposite of Tiangang. It doesn't make sense for the old lady to do it for the daughter-in-law. Only Miao Xiuying can think of it.
"Don't be polite, take care of the house and wait for me to come back! I'm going to go out for a while, you cook first!"
She also had to go to the black market to arrange the work so that her subordinates would not be unable to find anyone and would wander around and be caught by the Red Guards.
Lu Jianguo was happily packing his luggage in the house, already imagining picking up all kinds of seafood at sea and coming back to show off.
On the island, after Jiang Yan and Lu Li returned, she asked him to take care of Lu Xiao at home while she went to the provincial capital.
Lu Li's eyes widened, a little regretful: "Sister-in-law, can't you take me with you?"
Jiang Yan was helpless: "We are both not at home, what should your brother do?"
Lu Xiao said, "Let him go with you! You'll have a companion on the road. I can walk on my own with a cane. Are you worried that I can't take care of myself? That's not true!"
Men are like that! Jiang Yan still wanted to save face, so he asked, "Really? He's at home, and you have someone to keep you company!"
She was going to the provincial capital to buy some home appliances, and also to Xinhua Bookstore to take on some translation work. Once she had several jobs, she would be happy to get paid.
Lu Xiao affirmed: "No, he's noisy and I find him annoying. I'd rather read a book!"
I have been obsessed with the picture books drawn by Jiang Yan recently. They are so good that even he, who gets sleepy as soon as he picks up a pen, can enjoy reading them.
When he gets better, he'll go back and show off.
Hey, this is drawn by his wife, isn't it amazing? Wait for him! This man who shows off his wife will not miss any opportunity to attack single people.
It's just a hobby for people.
Lu Li looked resentful: "Brother, no one would dislike their own brother like you do!"
Lu Xiao looked disdainful: "Go carry your sister-in-law's bag, don't let her get tired, or watch out for your butt."
Sure enough, he was thinking about kicking him in the ass again!
He said bitterly: "Okay, brother, let's go!"
Jiang Yan waved: "Brother Lu, see you later!"
After saying that, the two of them left again. Lu Xiao continued to read with his head down. When Song Jingfeng came in, his expression was indescribable.
Is this still their iron-blooded, cold-blooded and ruthless soldier king? He was killed by a comic book.
Lu Xiao said without even raising his head: "What's the matter? Don't bother me if there's nothing else!"
Song Jingfeng threw a pile of reports on the table. "Here, this is what my superior asked me to give you. Please deal with it as soon as possible."
Lu Xiao raised his head and said expressionlessly: "I'm still a patient!"
Song Jingfeng sat down and smiled: "This is even better. I don't have to run around and can focus on dealing with the report. Hey, where's my sister-in-law? Why don't I see her?"
Normally when she comes, she always hangs around Lu Xiao. She’s not used to it when she’s not around.
Lu Xiao said calmly: "I went to the provincial capital to do some work. You talk a lot, why don't you finish all these at once! You are the deputy head of the group, why did you leave everything to me?"
Song Jingfeng shook his head like a rattle and refused, "You know, I'm not cut out for this job.
My eyes hurt, my head hurts, and my whole body aches, but I still have to lead the team on a mission! Brother Lu, please stop torturing me, you are just right."
Lu Xiao's eyes were dark as he glared at him angrily: "Don't I have a headache just watching this? You are trying to pass the buck, I..."
"Hey, Brother Lu, what are you talking about? Why can't I hear you all of a sudden? Who is it? Who is calling me? I'm coming!"
What he said was irrelevant and he rushed out immediately. It was the same old routine.
Lu Xiao's face was filled with black lines, as expected of him.
Wait until he gets better and see how he deals with this kid who dares to fool around with him.
However, I still accepted my fate and dealt with the report. As the head of the group, these were all basic things. I couldn't be illiterate, so how could I carry out my work?
He devoted all his energy to defending his country.
After Jiang Yan and Lu Li left the army, they went to the bus station to take a bus to the provincial capital, and the two spent one yuan on the fare.
Jiang Yan found a seat by the window, holding an orange peel in her hand, planning to take a deep breath when she felt carsick to relieve the nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness.
She didn't understand. She had traveled through time and space, had great strength, all the standard features of a heroine, so why would she still get carsick?
Wouldn't it be good to let her be the most perfect heroine in the era classification? I haven't seen any heroine who is as carsick as her, which is embarrassing.
