“Yuan Qiang, the three of us can go. Your task is to bring Xiang Ling over.”
Yuan Qiang was very happy to hear this.
He hadn't seen Mao Xiangling for several days and really missed her. He wondered if she was sleeping better.
The four split into two groups and agreed to meet at home.
Yuan Qiang drove himself into the medical university, intending to go to the dormitory building to find Mao Xiangling, not knowing if she was there.
Ge Qiuqin was busy washing clothes in the yard; Xia Enruo was collecting more and more clothes.
Not only do they need to be washed, but many clothes also need to be trimmed and mended.
However, the thought of earning a few cents by washing a single garment made her willing to do it, no matter how tiring it was, and she was very happy doing it.
Zhang Xin hadn't been home for a long time. Every time he returned to the city, the first thing he did was go to Chen Yan and get all lovey-dovey. The two of them simply rented a house outside and started living together.
Today, taking advantage of returning to the city early, he went back to the compound to see the children.
When Ge Qiuqin saw Zhang Xin return carrying a bag of apples, she stood up and asked:
"You're back, sir."
Now, when she sees Zhang Xin, she no longer seems to feel the excitement and longing she once did.
In the past, she would have loved for Zhang Xin to come home from the army every day to see the children and her.
Ever since her mother-in-law and Zhang Lei came to visit and started bullying her, and Zhang Xin has hardly come back for the past six months.
Ge Qiuqin has finally come to terms with things. Before, she always depended on men, waiting for them to send money back for her and her child to spend.
She didn't get much money, but she was beaten a lot. During that time, there wasn't a single part of her body that wasn't sore, and she was covered in bruises.
He wasn't even allowed to give his parents a little money; he was living a truly pathetic life.
Now that I'm making money with Xia Enruo, not only are my wallets fuller, but my children can eat whatever they want.
I have money to buy whatever I want, and I don't have to ask anyone for money to give to my parents.
It really proves what Xia Enruo said: it feels so good to spend money you earned yourself.
"Yes, the military is too busy, so I came back to visit today since I have less to do."
You've washed so many of Xia Enruo's clothes; you've really become her servant. You'll have to just deal with it from now on.
"You have no shame, but I still have one in the army."
Zhang Xin got angry when he saw the clothes all over the yard. This Ge Qiuqin was just embarrassing him. People would think she was a nanny who did sewing and washing.
As a military wife, she should at least have some principles. It's really irresponsible of her to follow Xia Enruo around like that.
Chen Yan is still the best. She has a good job and a good figure. Wherever she goes, other men envy her.
Ge Qiuqin ignored Zhang Xin's words, took the apple, and followed him into the house.
As soon as Zhang Xin entered the house, he lay down on the sofa. Ge Qiuqin put the fruit on the floor and then went to the kitchen to pour Zhang Xin a glass of water.
Are you staying home today?
Ge Qiuqin asked.
Zhang Xin noticed that her attitude was different from before, and he was a little puzzled.
In the past, as soon as I came back, Ge Qiuqin would immediately ask me what I wanted to eat, and then go to the kitchen to boil a pot of water, waiting to wash my feet in the evening.
She looked at the fruit she brought back and it lit up. She took it and went to the kitchen to wash it for the children.
Now she not only puts the apple on the ground without even looking at it, but also asks herself if she lives at home.
That's strange.
"I'm not staying here; I have to go back to my unit later."
Seeing Ge Qiuqin's cold attitude, Zhang Xin didn't want to spend the night, so he simply went to Chen Yan's place that night to enjoy her company.
"Okay, I got it. By the way, you should give me my living expenses for this month."
After hearing this, Zhang Xin reluctantly took out money from his pocket with a stern face, counted out 40 yuan, and handed it to Ge Qiuqin.
Ge Qiuqin took the money and stuffed it into her pocket.
She's not short of money now; she can earn up to ten yuan a day at most. But Xia Enruo is right.
As her husband and the father of her child, Zhang Xin has an obligation to provide living expenses for the family.
"Do you want an apple? I'll wash it for you."
Ge Qiuqin asked a question.
"I won't eat it. Wash one for the third and fourth children instead."
"They've just eaten and can't eat anymore."
Now, with four children, they have fruit and snacks every day, unlike before when they would be happy just to eat a piece of rock candy.
When Zhang Xin saw that the apples he had bought failed to arouse any interest from his family, he immediately felt unhappy.
Don't forget to come back. I can't stand the sight of those three women now.
He picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and then got up to leave.
"Okay, if there's nothing else at home, I'll head back to the unit. Call me if you need anything."
Ge Qiuqin followed behind to see him off.
"Okay, got it. Drive carefully."
Her tone remained calm.
Zhang Xin frowned. In the past, she shouldn't have said, "You can't stay here today, so stay at home for the night."
"Alright, don't bother seeing me off. You can go back now."
Zhang Xin replied and walked out of the courtyard.
After seeing Zhang Xin off, Ge Qiuqin continued washing clothes in the yard.
And you know what? Xia Enruo's washing machine really came in handy.
Without it, if I were to wash these clothes by hand, my arms would probably be too tired to carry them after a day of overworking.
Xia Enruo and Gu Shaoxuan rode in Shaojun's car back to the military family compound.
The three of them bought several bags of vegetables.
Xia Enruo even bought some seafood at the black market today.
Seeing that the group was carrying large and small bags, Ge Qiuqin went over to help them carry them.
"What? What's the occasion that you bought so much delicious food?"
"Sister Qiuqin, don't cook, come to my house for dinner later. We're having a get-together today, so call all the kids over."
"Xia, you're cooking again. I need to learn a few tricks from you today. I'll come inside and help you after I finish washing these two pieces of clothing."
