Chapter 10



"What?" Liao Meixian looked at Xu Jiajia: "Is he, is he your fiancé?"

Xu Jiajia looked disgusted and said, "He's my ex-fiancé. My current boyfriend is a military officer, a deputy battalion commander, and he's handsome."

Speaking of Shen Yuebai, Xu Jiajia's smile became even brighter. She showed the watch on her wrist and said, "He bought this. Originally, there was a three-way wedding, but the time was too short and he didn't get the ticket."

Liao Mei asked for it enviously. She touched her watch carefully and said, "My dad said this ticket is the hardest to get and the price is very cheap."

Xu Jiajia named a price: "One hundred and eighty."

Liao Mei took a deep breath and said, "Oh my god, that's a lot! Did you say one hundred and twenty?"

“The style is good, the price is good.”

Liao Mei was full of envy. Thinking of something, she looked at Xu Jiajia with burning eyes: "We are good sisters, right?"

Liao Mei looked as if she was going to eat Xu Jiajia, which frightened her. She subconsciously pulled up her collar and took a step back: "What are you going to do?"

Liao Mei was amused by her actions: "What do you think I'm going to do?"

Xu Jiajia pushed her away: "Talk nicely and don't get too close."

Liao Mei found that her student had become more cheerful and fun than before.

Thinking of the business, Liao Mei coughed lightly and said seriously: "I want to find a military officer, but I don't have the resources in this area. Can you ask your partner to introduce one to me?"

As she spoke, Liao Mei felt more and more that she was wrong: "I have high standards. As long as I can follow the army and have a sense of responsibility, that's enough."

Xu Jiajia could guarantee: "I'll ask for you."

Liao Mei was actually quite anxious: "The sooner the better. I'm afraid it will be too late and I'll end up going to the countryside as an educated youth."

Xu Jiajia nodded: "Okay——"

After Xu Jiajia left Liao Mei's house, she went to the meat processing factory again.

The student who works in the meat processing factory is a man named Wang Jun.

He has an average appearance, is tall, and appears to be honest, but is actually cunning.

Yes, he is very loyal to his classmates.

If you need anything, ask him for it. As long as he can do it, he will never refuse.

When Xu Jiajia told him what she wanted, Wang Jun almost choked on his own saliva: "Sister, how much meat do you need?"

Xu Jiajia easily said a number: "Seven kilograms, if we can get more, two or three kilograms more will be fine."

Wang Jun was about to cry: "You, from today on you are my sister, you are my aunt, you have already gotten 7 jins, and you still want me to get more, how can you go to heaven?"

Xu Jiajia took out three pounds of meat tickets from her pocket. These were given to her by Song Hanyong. "Don't worry, I will make it difficult for you. With the meat tickets, it will be easier, right?"

Seeing the meat tickets, Wang Jun's tearful face finally showed a little smile: "Seven catties, how can there be more? I still need to find someone to help me. Of course, I can only get five catties at most."

Xu Jiajia nodded readily: "Okay, one catty is 60 cents, seven catties is 2 yuan, I'll give you 6.2 yuan, and you can buy a pack of cigarettes for me with the remaining 2 yuan."

Wang Jun knew Xu Jiajia three times, but this was the first time he saw her act so generously. He was quite surprised: "The cigarette only cost one yuan. You gave too much."

Xu Jiajia is still very worldly-wise: "You can buy the extra ones."

Wang Jun grinned and said, "We are all students, why are you being so polite?"

Xu Jiajia: "It's just a token of my appreciation, don't complain."

Wang Jun would not complain, he would just think that this student is really capable: "Come and get the meat tomorrow morning."

Xu Jiajia nodded: "Okay——"

When Xu Jiajia and his wife got home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Mrs. Xu left dishes on the table for them: "Have you eaten yet? I guess you will be back at this time. The dishes are all hot."

Xu Jiajia raised her thumbs up and praised the old lady with a smile: "Grandma, you are really amazing. You can even guess this."

After saying that, he paused for a moment and continued, "I've eaten, I've eaten, I'm hungry again, I want to eat some more."

I'm hungry and I want to eat.

This is grandma's love, I can't let her down.

Old Mrs. Xu was carrying a kerosene lamp and was about to go to the kitchen to serve rice, but Xu Jiajia stopped her and said, "Grandma, sit down. I'll do it."

Shen Yuebai, a grown man, didn't have the nerve to let Xu Jiajia do this. He put two snakeskin bags on the table and said, "Let me do it."

Xu Jiajia didn't argue with him and took out a newly bought flashlight from her pocket and gave it to him: "There is a cooking pot in the kitchen. You can see it when you go in."

Shen Yuebai turned on the flashlight, and a beam of white light passed through the dark kitchen, making it bright in an instant.

He walked over, found the bowl, then opened the lid of the pot and started serving the rice.

Mrs. Xu looked at the flashlight and was a little confused. After a long while, she asked, "Is this new?"

Xu Jiajia nodded, and then began to talk about Shen Yuebai's carefulness: "Well, Ah Yue said it's convenient to use this at night, so he bought it specially for you."

Old Mrs. Xu's eyes were wet. Such a good child was actually ruined by Shen Dazhu and his wife. "Jia Jia must treat Xiao Shen well in the future. He is not easy."

Xu Jiajia patted her chest and said, "He is my husband. I will treat him well. I will treat anyone well. Grandma, don't worry. I will beat anyone who bullies him."

Old Mrs. Xu was amused and said, "You have such small arms and legs, who can you beat?"

Xu Jiajia clenched her fist and waved it in front of the old lady: "Grandma, don't look down on me, I'm very powerful."

Xu Jiajia believes that no matter which generation, girls must have the ability to protect themselves.

So no matter how busy she was in her previous life, she would always spend two hours a week learning Taekwondo.

Mrs. Xu recalled the scene where Xu Jiajia knocked Li Chengye down in the state-owned hotel and nodded along with her words: "It's really amazing!"

Shen Yuebai felt warm at heart when he heard the conversation between the two. For the first time, he felt at home.

Although his uncle was wrong to him, his two aunts got along well with him. They often criticized him and even warned him not to go to their homes.

If that were the case, he wouldn't have joined the army at such a young age.

At that time, because he often did not eat enough, he was sixteen years old, pale and thin, and only about 1.6 meters tall.

Fortunately, the conscription requirements were high at that time.

"Jia Jia, eat first." After confirming the wedding date, Shen Yue called Xu Zhi without hesitation and directly called Jia Jia.

There was not much food at home, so Mrs. Xu exchanged some eggs for meat and made two cold dishes.

These dishes look simple, but they are usually very luxurious.

"Xiao Shen, there aren't many dishes. Don't be dissatisfied. Just eat whatever you want."

Shen Yuebai thought the eggs tonight were especially delicious: "With so many dishes, how could I complain about them?"

After they finished eating, they took out the things they had bought.

There are mirrors, enamel basins, enamel pots, quilts, sheets, pillowcases and so on.

However, these quilts are all red.

These beddings are usually handmade by the bride's family, implying good wishes for the newlyweds.

Old Mrs. Xu touched the soft quilt, her wrinkled face full of emotion: "Time flies so fast, Jia Jia is getting married soon."

Xu Jiajia hugged Grandma Xu and said, "Grandma, you and Dad raised me. I will stay with you until you grow old."

Mrs. Xu smiled kindly and said, "You will be joining the army in the future, so how can you stay with us until we grow old?

You, take care of your own little family. I have your father to take care of them, so you don't have to worry about them."

Shen Yuebai was very envious of such a family, and felt that it would be more lively if everyone lived together: "Grandma, I will apply for a bigger house, and you can go with Dad to join the army."

Old Mrs. Xu shook her head: "If you want to use it, use it. The army is well organized and disciplined. There is no room for chaos. You live in the same house as your father does, just like me living at home."

The next morning, at daybreak, Mrs. Xu got up and took out the cotton wool she had made that morning.

Old Mrs. Xu collected quite a few of these cotton wools.

She planned to sew a quilt weighing twelve kilograms, two quilts weighing ten kilograms, and one quilt weighing eight kilograms for Xu Jiajia.

Xu Jiajia got out of bed with a shaky head and saw Old Lady Xu sewing a quilt. She yawned and said, "Grandma, let me help you."

Old Mrs. Xu pushed her away and said, "After washing up, go have breakfast and don't get in the way here."

Xu Jiajia rubbed her eyes and said, "Okay."

Just after I finished washing, a woman rushed into the yard and yelled towards the main room: "Old lady Xu, get out here!"
