Mrs. Xu raised her chin and said, "Yes, what's the problem?"
Old Mrs. Zhang choked.
Of course she was fine, she was just shocked.
Even if you go to your daughter's house, you can't stay there for more than a few days, let alone follow the army with your grandson-in-law.
"No, no problem. I think your grandson-in-law is pretty good."
Speaking of this topic, Mrs. Xu suddenly had more to say: "That's a must. My grandson-in-law is not only good-looking and capable, but also very good to me and his father-in-law."
Although Mrs. Zhang loves to nag, she has a good heart. She is a little envious, but not jealous: "That's good. Don't we old people expect young people to be filial to us?"
The two bought some vegetables and seasonings and went home together.
Mrs. Zhang invited Mrs. Xu to her house for a chat, but Mrs. Xu refused: "Let's go later. I have to prepare dinner and take it to my granddaughter."
Mrs. Zhang was stunned: "Where is your granddaughter? Do you still need to deliver food to her?"
Mrs. Xu said proudly, "My granddaughter works at the Public Security Bureau."
Old Lady Zhang patted her thigh and said in a much louder voice than before: "This is a good job. Was it the deputy battalion commander's grandson-in-law who found it for you?"
Mrs. Xu shook her head and said, "No, it was my granddaughter who was established in my hometown and won a job. She thought she couldn't move here and didn't even plan to accept it. Later, the provincial leaders helped her move here."
When Mrs. Zhang heard that he didn't want it anymore, her heart ached and she cried out in regret. But when she heard the last sentence, her heart slowly relaxed and she felt a lot better.
"This is good leadership, this is good leadership."
The two old men chatted for a while and then went back to their homes.
Old Mrs. Xu bought a piece of meat and a chicken, and the rest were some side dishes.
She was going to stew the hens with dried mushrooms.
In the past, Mrs. Xu cooked in a very orderly manner.
Later, Xu Jiajia found two recipe books at a scrap yard.
Mrs. Xu didn't know many words, so she taught her one by one.
Over time, Mrs. Xu's cooking skills also improved.
The fragrance of the dishes she cooks can be smelled from far away.
"Oh, who made this dish? It smells so good!"
"놋Mushrooms, 놋Chicken, they are so delicious!"
"It smells so good. I want to eat it."
"Nana, nanny, I want to eat chicken too."
“…”
If you have any shame, just smell the fragrance wafting in the air.
Shameless, just come and ask for it.
"Sister-in-law Xu, my grandson wants to eat chicken. Can you give him a few pieces?" The one who said this was Old Lady Hu. She favored boys over girls, and did not allow the five granddaughters born to her eldest daughter-in-law to join the army. They all stayed in their hometown to work and earn work points. So she brought her sixteen-year-old daughter Hu Mingyue and her seven-year-old grandson Hu Yitao here to join the army.
Old Mrs. Xu had heard people mention her before and didn't have a very good impression of her. Now that she saw her mean look, she felt even more disgusted.
"No, I don't know you well, why should I give you a few pieces? Besides, chicken is so expensive, don't you know the price?"
How dare you come to my house?"
Mrs. Hu thought that Mrs. Xu was new and had to give her some respect, but she didn't expect her to be so blunt and not give her any respect at all.
"We are all from the same family. You can't even give me a few pieces of chicken. Why are you so stingy?"
Xu Jiajia, who had just finished her shift, came back and happened to hear this. She parked her bike aside and looked at Mrs. Hu without blinking, "You are so generous, why don't you bring your food over to us?"
Old Mrs. Hu glared at Xu Jiajia and said, "Why should I give you my family's food? You look pretty, but how can you be so vicious!"
Xu Jiajia hated people who took advantage of their age the most. She said directly, "You are old but have only wrinkles on your face. You come to my house and ask for a few pieces of chicken meat. Are my grandmas your parents or your ancestors? Do you want to support you until you die?"
Mrs. Hu was speechless after being humiliated by Xu Jiajia. She pointed at Xu Jiajia angrily and it took her a long time to find her voice: "You, you..."
Xu Jiajia interrupted her expressionlessly: "You can't even speak clearly, and you're still going around visiting people everywhere, embarrassing yourself."
Old Mrs. Hu felt a pain in her chest because of Xu Jiajia's anger.
She pouted.
Walk away quickly.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Xu came up to her and asked, "Jia Jia, why are you back?"
Xu Jiajia poured herself a glass of water and said, "Now that I've finished the work at hand, it's useless to just sit there idle. I might as well come back."
Old Mrs. Xu looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky and estimated that it was not yet eleven o'clock. "Will your boss criticize you for coming back so early?"
Xu Jiajia instantly remembered the helpless expression of the leader, and the corners of her mouth twitched, and she said with a smile: "No, I said hello to the leader before I came back."
Leader: “…”
A greeting to fight ghosts.
She just informed him.
Those who don’t know her might think she is a leader.
Mrs. Xu believed it and said, "I have said hello, but your leader is quite nice."
Old Mrs. Hu was not satisfied, so she went to her neighbor's house to sow discord.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Shen's grandmother is so stingy that she refused to give even a piece of chicken to my family when her family cooked it."
"You don't want to give me even a single cent. That's really mean!"
"Yes, we live in a big compound, and we see each other everywhere. She can do this!"
“…”
Those who don't know the truth think that Old Lady Xu is really that stingy, but those who are rational know that it is the Yuan family that is closest to the Xu family. Yuan Heye is eight years older than Shen Yuebai, but they are of the same level.
His wife is Zhu Yilian, she speaks very directly, without any twists and turns: "Meat is so expensive these days, you are not ashamed to come to someone's house and ask for chicken meat?
Don’t you have five chickens in your yard? If you want to eat them, just kill one. Why do you have to go to someone else’s house and ask them?”
Seeing that someone was standing on Mrs. Xu's side, Mrs. Hu became unhappy immediately: "My chickens are used to lay eggs, it would be a pity to kill them.
Kill a chicken for a piece of meat?
I’m not stupid.”
Zhu Yilian had never seen anyone who loved to take advantage of others so much. When she first came, Mrs. Hu also used her status as an excuse to cheat her out of a lot of delicious food: "Yes, you are smart, but unfortunately, I won't be fooled."
Old Mrs. Hu wanted to slap Zhu Yilian a few times: "It's none of your business."
Zhu Yilian sneered, turned around and closed the door to block out the sound from outside.
…
After eating.
Xu Jiajia took out two lunch boxes from the cupboard.
One is Shen Yuebai's and the other is Xu Jianguo's.
The family compound is only five or six minutes away from the troops.
She gave it to Shen Yue for free first.
The man on guard duty knew Xu Jiajia. When he saw her, he asked his comrades to go inside to look for her.
After a while, the soldier ran out, saluted Xu Jiajia, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, Deputy Battalion Commander Shen has gone on a mission."
"Ah——" Xu Jiajia was surprised: "He didn't even tell his family, when did he leave?"
The warriors really knew: "Ten thirty, the mission is very sudden."
When Xu Jiajia chose to be a military wife, she knew this would be the norm, and she quickly accepted it: "Thank you."
She handed the lunch box to one of them and said, "Share it between the two of you."
The man scratched his hair in embarrassment: "Sister-in-law, this is not good."
Xu Jiajia smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it."
Wait until Xu Jiajia walks away.
The warrior opened the box.
A rich fragrance wafts into my nose.
After seeing what was inside, he exclaimed in surprise: "It's chicken and pork. Let's have half each."
…
"What? On a mission?" As soon as Xu Jiajia got home, she told Old Lady Xu about Shen Yuebai's mission. She was surprised after hearing it, she thought that with Shen Yuebai's level, he only needed to train in the army, but she didn't expect that he would also be on a mission.
Old Mrs. Xu clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed silently: Please come back safely.
Xu Jiajia informed Old Queen Mother Xu of the news and went to deliver food to Xu Jianguo.
The sun is very bright at noon.
Xu Jiajia was afraid of sunburn, so she wore a bamboo hat with the brim just covering her face.
Afraid of the strong wind, he took his hat away.
She tightened her hat string.
Arrived at the machinery factory.
She saw a lesbian struggling with Xu Jianguo.
