"He was a man, and it seemed he knew Dr. Su before. He had a rather fun and humorous personality."
Jiang Wenwan found the young girl's comments somewhat interesting.
Have you had lunch yet?
Yingzi instinctively shook her head, then quickly nodded.
"Auntie, I've already eaten. I'm leaving now."
"stop!"
Upon being reprimanded by Jiang Wenwan, the little girl immediately stopped and looked at Jiang Wenwan somewhat guiltily.
You can tell from her appearance that she hasn't eaten yet.
"If you haven't eaten, you haven't eaten. Wouldn't it be better to come and eat with your auntie?"
Does your auntie still need a bite to eat?
"You're not allowed to leave, or I'll get angry!"
Yingzi twisted the hem of her clothes shyly.
"My sister-in-law won't stop feeding me now."
After Jiang Wenwan's scolding, Aunt Jiang still didn't give her sister-in-law a friendly look.
But at least they won't mistreat their sister-in-law too much.
"Who said you can only come over for dinner because your sister-in-law mistreats you?"
Look, my husband isn't home. Why don't you come over and have a meal with me?
If you don't come and have dinner with me, I'll just make do by myself. Can you really bear to do that?
Yingzi shook her head.
She pursed her lips and smiled at Jiang Wenwan.
She knew that Jiang Wenwan was just teasing her on purpose.
"Then, Auntie, I'll help you start the fire."
"Could you feed the geese for me? There's some hay over there, but those guys don't like to eat it. I'll have to take them out to find some fresh grass later."
Yingzi went over to help feed the geese.
"When the grass turns green, I'll help my aunt cut grass to feed the geese."
Jiang Wenwan thought of her own experience collecting cordyceps and asked her about it.
"No need for that. Can you ride a horse?"
Yingzi nodded.
Yes.
But I can only ride ponies.
“Riding a pony is fine too. There’s a school near the division headquarters. Shouldn’t you go to school?”
If it's a long way, I'll ride a pony.
Jiang Wenwan thought that since Xiao Ye had gone to school, Yingzi was already 10 years old this year and should go to school even more.
“But my sister-in-law didn’t say I could go to school, and I still have to help her with chores.”
Jiang Wenwan sliced a plate of donkey meat.
Take out the jellyfish skin I had prepared earlier, which is a bit too fatty, so I added some chopped green onions and cilantro, along with the clam meat she had soaked earlier.
I stir-fried it briefly, then added water, and once the water boiled, I added the noodles.
She prepared two bowls of noodles in no time.
"Come and eat. We'll have noodles for lunch."
Go wash your hands.
As for going to school, I'll talk to Aunt Jiang about it later. She won't stop you from going to school.
She's now a member of the Women's Federation, so she's very careful about her reputation!
I'll teach you, hehe. If your sister-in-law says she won't let you go to school, just use her connections with the Women's Federation as an example.
If she prevents you from going to school, threaten her to report her.
I guarantee I'll get it right every time.
Yingzi smiled, revealing her small white teeth, when she heard her say that.
"Thank you, Auntie. I'll mention it to my sister-in-law later. It's just that I'll need their money to go to school."
Jiang Wenwan handed her a pair of chopsticks and helped her put the donkey meat into her bowl.
"What's wrong with spending her money?"
You're not refusing to return it to her, are you?
"Once the caterpillar fungus is ready to be harvested, you can come with me up the mountain to dig it up and sell it for money. That way, you'll have some money, right?"
Yingzi's eyes lit up when she heard what she said.
"Really, can I also go and dig up caterpillar fungus to sell for money?"
"Of course, uh, it's not called selling for money."
That's our pharmaceutical factory buying cordyceps; we're willing to pay money to exchange it with the local people.
Yingzi immediately understood what she meant and nodded vigorously.
My aunt insisted on taking me with her back then; I wanted to go dig for caterpillar fungus to earn money too.
"No problem, let's eat first."
After the two of them finished eating, Aunt Jiang called Yingzi to come back for dinner.
"Auntie, my sister-in-law is calling me, I have to go back."
"Let's go back!"
After seeing Yingzi off, Jiang Wenwan also went out to the cafeteria to pick up her pet dog Xiao Hei's meals.
I had only gone halfway when a young man with a side-parted hairstyle, wearing a white coat, ran towards me from a distance.
This is exactly where Jiang Wenwan comes into play.
He slammed on the brakes, and Jiang Wenwan had already moved aside.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, military wife! I have something urgent to attend to."
Jiang Wenwan saw the unfamiliar young man and ran over in a flash.
It's obvious without even thinking that he must be the new military doctor.
"This young military doctor is always on the go; I wonder what he's up to this time."
Aunt Su walked over from the side; she found it hard to face Jiang Wenwan now.
He smiled at Jiang Wenwan, then turned to leave.
"Sister-in-law, why do you seem to be avoiding me?"
"Hehe, that's nonsense."
I didn't!
"I have something to take care of at home, so I have to go now!"
Jiang Wenwan immediately understood what was going on with her.
I shouted it out on purpose:
"Sister-in-law, isn't it better to go through the front gate?"
Sister-in-law Su almost stumbled and fell.
Oh my goodness!
What is Jiang Meizi saying in broad daylight?
Seeing her face turn bright red instantly, she quickly went home and closed the door.
Jiang Wenwan laughed uncontrollably behind her.
"Jiang Meizi, what's so funny?"
Seeing Sister-in-law Song approaching, Jiang Wenwan, being very professional, naturally couldn't reveal Sister-in-law Su's affair.
"It's nothing. I'm just happy because I'm thinking about how I can make money by digging for caterpillar fungus next month."
Sister-in-law Song sighed.
"I even said I'd take you to dig for cordyceps!"
Now that she's pregnant, I don't dare go far.
"Give me your geese then, and I'll help you herd them!"
