Chapter 394 A wife who is too capable is not a good thing
"What did Political Commissar Lu ask you to do?"
"I can't tell her." Qi Jingchuan thought to himself that if they could really set up a factory, his wife would be very happy, but if they couldn't in the end, telling her now would just be a waste of her joy.
It would be better to wait for Political Commissar Lu to have a result before letting him speak in person.
Cen Yan immediately understood that if it were a military secret, Qi Jingchuan would have told her long ago.
She didn't press the matter further.
"I left you some food in the pot, I've already eaten. Now I'm going to the front to have a meeting with the ladies."
“You women have meetings every day, more often than I did in the army.”
Qi Jingchuan was depressed. Since seeing off the people from the department store, it had been four days since he had paid his dues, and he was feeling restless.
He thought he could do it tonight, but his wife went to a meeting again.
Hearing Qi Jingchuan complain, Cen Yan couldn't help but laugh, "What can we do? The previous meeting was about working on side businesses and focusing on production."
"The meeting I attended this time was for the Military Spouses Alliance. Everyone had to go, let alone me, the new leader."
After saying this, Cen Yan finished dressing and walked out on her own.
Qi Jingchuan sat in the house eating, but the more he ate, the less he enjoyed it. His wife was too capable; it wasn't a good thing.
During the day, I'm busy with work at the health center, and at night I still have to manage production.
He was both worried that his wife wouldn't get used to life with the military and that she was getting too close to the other women in the military, and that they would neglect him for a long time.
Cen Yan arrived at the gathering place of the military wives' alliance and saw a large group of people crammed into the room, while Wang Lijuan was giving a passionate speech on the stage.
When she casually asked where they were, the people around her were overjoyed to find that it was Cen Yan who was speaking, and they quickly told her about the progress of the meeting.
I also asked when I would start teaching them how to make lipsticks.
They were genuinely grateful to Cen Yan.
Before Cen Yan arrived, they were unemployed and couldn't earn money.
But now that they've been working with Cen Yan for a while, they're wearing new clothes and shoes and are willing to use hair oil to comb their hair.
We can eat meat at home every now and then; such a life was unimaginable in the past.
Even the men who came back from the garrison said that the women were now more capable and confident, well-nourished, and their spirits were completely different.
As the saying goes, "When you're well-fed and warm, you start thinking about sex." After making money with Cen Yan, they not only had enough to eat, but their marital relationships also became incredibly harmonious.
In response, Cen Yan only said that it was all thanks to the efforts of her sisters-in-law, and that she had merely acted as a matchmaker.
After Wang Lijuan finished her speech, it was Cen Yan's turn.
After going on stage, Cen Yan didn't know what to say, so she simply spoke her mind, thanking her sisters-in-law for taking care of her and for everyone's understanding.
Finally, let's get down to business.
Streetlights are going to be installed on the road from the residential compound to the elementary school!
Cen Yan paid the money and hoped that the women in the compound would help out, such as delivering water and meals to the comrades who came to help from the barracks.
Cen Yan naturally took on the responsibility of providing the food for the cooking, since the work would only last for two days and the people from the barracks wouldn't eat much.
But the sisters-in-law refused.
They said that the streetlights were for everyone's use, and they couldn't let Cen Yan contribute both money and effort, only to have to give up her family's ration of grain in the end.
They discussed that each family would donate one kilogram of grain to cook for the comrades in the barracks, which would also be considered as contributing money and effort to the construction of streetlights in the family compound.
Shan Xianxian was going out for a walk to digest her food. Since Aunt Yu had left, she had been cooped up at home for quite a while with no one to play with.
Seeing that the room was noisy and lively, she went over to take a look.
What she witnessed was something she couldn't believe.
