After entering July, the temperature is getting higher day by day, and the humid and hot weather makes people irritable and uncomfortable.
It's dawning early now, so Jiang Yan gets up much earlier too.
Every morning, she would cook some mung bean soup and ask Lu Yunsheng to take it to the regiment. They still had to train in the summer, so they had to be careful not to get heatstroke.
During the day, I study, research pharmaceuticals and translate manuscripts at home.
In the evening, when the sun was about to set and the temperature was cooler, everyone chatted in the open space in the staff quarters.
The weather is hot, so people are willing to go out only at this time.
Yuan Sufeng sat in the open space, fanning herself with a fan. She couldn't help but smile at the energetic children, "I really envy them. They don't even feel the heat."
Feng Yingchun continued, "My brat wanted to go out at noon, but I stopped him."
Ye Fengjiao was still holding a basket and preparing things for the child. She glanced at the closed door of Zhuang Cuizhu's house and whispered, "I haven't seen Sister Cuizhu and her cousin much recently. Is something good coming?"
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen them for several days."
Yuan Sufeng interrupted, "It shouldn't be that fast. I think Zheng Peirong is a person with her own ideas. She will choose carefully and won't get married casually."
"Although we are not sisters, we grew up together. Are you going to marry me off so easily?"
"I won't marry."
As they were talking, Zheng Peirong's voice was heard from a distance. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zheng Peirong running over crying.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Zheng Peirong became more and more embarrassed and angry, and ran straight back to Zhuang Cuizhu's yard, and then Zhuang Cuizhu also came over.
Zhuang Cuizhu looked unhappy, but Ye Fengjiao was not one to read her expression, so she asked directly, "Sister-in-law Cuizhu, didn't you go on a blind date for Zheng Peirong? What happened?"
Zhuang Cuizhu sighed and complained to everyone, "This one is not good, that one is not good enough, she has looked at more than ten of them, but she is not satisfied with any of them. What can I do?"
Every family has its own problems, so everyone has the best choice but to try to smooth things over.
"Take your time, you will always find something you like."
"Yeah, don't worry."
Zhuang Cuizhu sighed, "Sister-in-law, you guys chat slowly, I'll go back and take a look."
When Zhuang Cuizhu returned to the yard, the two of them broke out into another fierce quarrel. Ye Fengjiao went straight to the door to eavesdrop.
Everyone listened attentively, but they couldn't hear clearly.
Zheng Peirong looked at several candidates in a row, but either she disliked their appearance or their low positions. So Wu Xiaolin introduced her to a man with a very high position, but this man was a little old and had a grown-up son.
Not long after, Ye Fengjiao came over with a gossipy look on her face.
"Do you know who Zheng Peirong's blind date is?"
"yes?"
"Tell me about it."
"It turns out he's the military district chief of staff. Oh my god, Zheng Peirong is going to climb up the social ladder now."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked.
Jiang Yan was also a little surprised. She remembered Lu Yunsheng saying that Chen Lin was the son of the military district chief of staff.
Yuan Sufeng was surprised, "The military district chief of staff must be in his forties or fifties, right?"
"He's in his forties, which is relatively young for his position."
"He is indeed a bit old. He is old enough to be Zheng Peirong's father. What does Sister Cuizhu think?"
Ye Fengjiao was puzzled. "It's so good to be the military district chief of staff! Zheng Peirong will be the chief's wife if she marries him. The only problem is that he has a grown son who may be older than Zheng Peirong."
"They are too old. Even if they marry, life won't be easy."
Everyone was talking in low voices, but since it was someone else's family affair, they couldn't interfere, so they just listened to the gossip.
During dinner in the evening, Jiang Yan curiously asked Lu Yunsheng about the situation of the military district chief of staff.
"I have met him once or twice. He was quite friendly, but people in that position are not friendly in front of others."
"I remember Chen Lin mentioned that when he was a few years old, his mother died while giving birth to her second child, and the child did not survive. After that, the Chief of Staff never remarried."
Jiang Yan picked up some food for Lu Yunsheng, and then whispered, "Zheng Peirong's blind date is the military district chief of staff."
"What?"
Lu Yunsheng was astonished, "The Chief of Staff is more than twenty years older than Zheng Peirong."
"What do you think?"
At the same time, Wu Jinchao and Xu Lei also exclaimed, and both of them were not optimistic about this marriage.
This is just like an old cow eating young grass. The old man and his young wife will be laughed to death.
Zheng Peirong's blind date story shocked the entire family compound that night, but it soon calmed down.
A few days later.
Qian Shuping came back with his wife and children.
Qian Shuping's wife is called Ye Jinxiu. She looks very quiet, like a beautiful girl from a small family. She is a little timid and always keeps her head down when talking to others.
She and Qian Shuping have a daughter named Qian Hongyin, who is five years old. The little girl has the same timid personality as her mother.
The two of them seldom go out.
Except for when he first arrived and gave some local specialties from his hometown to each household, he rarely went out at other times.
Jiang Yan and her sisters-in-law knew that the mother and daughter had just arrived and were not familiar with the place, so they only occasionally sent them some fresh vegetables.
"Thank you, Sister Jiang Yan." Ye Jinxiu lowered her head to thank her, not daring to look at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan knew that people with Ye Jinxiu's personality were afraid of contact with outsiders, so she said softly, "It's okay, sister-in-law, you go ahead and do your work. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
After seeing Jiang Yan off, Ye Jinxiu quickly closed the gate and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the fresh vegetables in the basket and then looked at her daughter beside her.
"Yinyin, the aunts in the family compound are all very nice, right?"
Qian Hongyin nodded and said in a childish voice: "Better than anyone else in the village, and better than grandma and grandpa."
On the way home, Jiang Yan met Zhuang Cuizhu and Zheng Peirong, and Zhuang Cuizhu gave her a handful of candy in front of her.
"Sister Jiang Yan, come and share in the good fortune. My sister is getting married to a military officer and will be getting married tomorrow. Here are some wedding candies."
"Congratulations." Jiang Yan hurriedly congratulated her and asked curiously, "Which officer did you marry?"
Zheng Peirong looked embarrassed, but Zhuang Cuizhu said happily, "It's our military region's chief of staff, but don't tell anyone else, it's not good to publicize it."
"Okay, I got it." Jiang Yan nodded and expressed her joy again.
Afterwards, Zhuang Cuizhu knocked on the doors of other houses in the family compound one by one.
Zheng Peirong got married.
She was going to marry the chief of staff of the military region. Everyone was a little surprised. Zheng Peirong's attitude that day was obviously unwilling, but somehow she agreed.
The next morning.
Gao Shulin drove away with Zhuang Cuizhu and Zheng Peirong.
As a result, in the afternoon, the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion, Chen Lin, returned from his studies. After reporting to the troops, he immediately asked for leave and returned to the military region.
Jiang Yan and Lu Yunsheng were happy.
His biological father married a stepmother who was younger than him, and Zheng Peirong was also a person with her own ideas. Chen Lin's life would be difficult in the future.
