Chapter 11 Your dad has married a stepmother, can you still eat?
Jiang Cha was standing at the outermost edge. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thin woman squatting on the ground frantically picking up something.
She might have just come back from buying groceries, and the fruits and vegetables in the basket fell to the ground.
Jiang Cha was about to go over to help, but the aunts and grandmas who were originally enjoying the cool air and chatting all gathered over, blocking her view.
When she stood on tiptoe to look again, the woman had disappeared.
"Master Huo, do you really have a wife?"
"I've brought the person back, how could it be fake?" Huo Tingkun raised the hand that was holding Ye Surong, feeling very proud.
Ye Surong smiled cooperatively and greeted everyone, "Hello, my name is Ye Surong. I'm new here and will be living here from now on. If there's anything I don't understand, please feel free to give me some advice!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Cha sensibly took out a large bag of snacks from the back seat of the car.
There are toffees, biscuits, peanut crisps, sesame bars and egg cakes.
From now on, she will live here with her mother, so she has to find a way to build good relationships with these military wives.
Jiang Cha tried hard to recognize people.
Observe the expressions on those people's faces, whether they are friendly, indifferent, or unkind.
She also has a plan in her mind.
"Hello, sisters, aunts, and sisters-in-law. My name is Jiang Cha, and I'm Uncle Huo's new daughter. It's our first meeting, so I have some snacks that children like to eat. I'd like to share them with everyone!"
"Oh, this girl is so pretty!"
"Isn't it? She's beautiful and sweet-talking. Commander Huo has suddenly got a wife who looks like a fairy, and a daughter who is so beautiful. You will be grinning from ear to ear even in your dreams at night!"
Everyone laughed. After Jiang Cha distributed the things, the children who were playing came over, each of them holding a candy in their mouth and a biscuit in their hand, calling her Sister Cha Cha happily.
Jiang Cha never thought that she was already 38 years old in her heart, but after coming to the family compound, she became the leader of the children!
One of the neighbors lent a hand and soon helped Jiang Cha and the others move all the luggage they had brought from the car into the clean new house.
Huo Tingkun and Ye Surong thanked everyone. After everyone left, Jiang Cha began to sort the things they had moved.
Jiang Cha and Ye Surong moved all the valuables into the room and locked it up themselves. The living room was filled with clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, medical books and prescriptions, as well as many original Russian books.
"Su Rong, Cha Cha, how about using this room as a study?"
Huo Tingkun pointed to the empty room near the back window. It was empty except for a desk.
"I'll find someone to build a bookcase here soon. Then I'll build a table and put it here. You and Cha Cha can read here in the future."
Ye Surong and Jiang Cha thought it was a good choice. Of the remaining two rooms, Jiang Cha chose the smaller one and left the larger room to Ye Surong.
The three people here are busy sorting things.
But within the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the news that Commander Huo had brought his angelic wife to the family compound spread throughout the Chuncheng Military Region.
Everyone in the army cafeteria was eating and discussing this matter.
"You kid, you sound like it's true. Did you see Commander Huo bring his wife back with your own eyes?"
"I just went back to get some documents, and my mother told me that there are still cookies on our table that the commander's wife and his new daughter shared. How could it be true?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, Sensei Huo actually got married? I'm so curious about who the Sensei's wife is. How could someone like Sensei Huo, who can scare people to death with just a frown, actually get married? It's incredible."
Huo Jingchuan was queuing at the window. His comrades listened to the heated discussion among the people around them and stared at him, but no one dared to ask.
If Huo Tingkun is a lion that can scare people at first sight, then Huo Jingchuan is a lone wolf walking alone in the dark night, cold and murderous. Several of his comrades-in-arms looked at each other and bumped into each other, all of them very curious about this matter, but none of them dared to ask whether this matter was true or not.
Suddenly, a girl appeared in front of Huo Jingchuan.
The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing the uniform of the art troupe and had two braids, one of which hung down in front of her chest. Her hair was black and shiny.
She looked gentle, like a Wu Nong girl from the Jiangnan water town, with thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and her voice had a bit of the Jiangnan water charm.
Her name is Bai Shuyao, and she is the mainstay of the art troupe. She is beautiful and sings well. As soon as she appears, many people's eyes follow her steps.
"Brother Jingchuan, is what they said true?"
"What?" Huo Jingchuan responded perfunctorily when his name was called.
"They all said that Uncle Huo brought a..."
"Are you talking about this?" Huo Jingchuan suddenly realized: "Yes, my father found me a stepmother, and she should have moved to the family compound by now!"
"Is it actually true?"
"Huo Jingchuan, that's your stepmother, how can you still eat?"
Several comrades who were on good terms with Huo Jingchuan winked at each other and said something, not knowing whether they should congratulate Commander Huo on his second spring or praise Huo Jingchuan for his generosity.
"What's wrong with my stepmother? Aunt Ye is a very nice person. Not only does my dad like her, but my brother and I also like her. Do you have any objections?"
Huo Jingchuan glanced at them coldly, and those people shook their heads fiercely, "Don't dare, don't dare!"
If the parties involved have no objection, what other opinions can they have?
Bai Shuyao bit her lip, her face filled with shock and disbelief.
Uncle Huo actually married without saying a word? What should her mother do then?
Bai Shuyao's hands and feet were cold. There was a large empty space in front of Huo Jingchuan. He frowned impatiently, "Do you have anything else to do?"
It affects his meal time!
"I……"
Bai Shuyao stammered but didn't say anything in the end. She had to go back. She had to see with her own eyes what the vixen who seduced Uncle Huo looked like.
She turned around and walked away, her steps getting faster and faster. In one breath, she ran from the military canteen to her doorstep.
Before entering, Bai Shuyao heard intermittent crying coming from inside the house.
Bai Shuyao pushed the door open and saw Wang Qing lying on the table, crying out of breath.
On the square table, there was a bamboo basket filled with a few eggplants, peppers and bitter gourds. The brightly colored vegetables were covered with a thin layer of dust.
Bai Shuyao closed the door casually and walked in front of Wang Qing. All her gentleness and pity disappeared.
"What's the point of you sitting at home crying? They've already taken him to the family compound. Don't you know how to find a way to get Uncle Huo back?"
Wang Qing raised her head and wiped away her tears. "You make it sound so easy. He's already brought her back. How else can I get her back?"
She had been attentive to Huo Tingkun for ten years, doing his laundry, cooking, and asking about his well-being. She had tried every trick in the book, but Huo Tingkun just wouldn't respond.
"Did you see the woman he brought back?"
"I……"
Wang Qing lowered her head and said, "I don't dare to look."
Bai Shuyao was very disappointed. "Uncle Huo is the commander of the division. He needs to register his marriage. Before this, we didn't hear any rumors about him getting married. This means that his marriage was very hasty. He may not have registered his marriage. As long as they haven't obtained the marriage certificate, you still have hope of marrying him."
Wang Qing's tears stopped. "You're right, Yaoyao, I can't panic. What should I do now? As long as you tell me, I'll listen to you."
Bai Shuyao snorted coldly, "We've lived here for over a decade. There's no reason we can't defeat a vixen who just arrived!"
She pulled Wang Qing up from the bench and said, "Go wash your face now. Then do as I tell you!"
Jiang Cha and Ye Surong packed their own luggage. Huo Tingkun placed the books on the display cabinet in the living room, and followed Ye Surong's instructions to move boxes and put things away. The three of them were busy for an hour before they finally put everything in place.
"Are you hungry? Jingchuan will be back with food soon. He should be on his way now. Just hold on a little longer. We three grown men are not very good at cooking, so Jingchuan and I usually eat in the army cafeteria. The factory where Jingye works also provides lunch, so I don't have to worry about it much."
Huo Tingkun said, still a little embarrassed, "After lunch, I will take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities. You can take a look and see if there is anything missing. We will make a list and buy them together later."
"We need to buy rice, flour, sauce, and vinegar. I just went to your place and took a look. If a mouse gets into your house, it has to come out hungry. I don't know how you've managed to get by with two children for so many years."
"Now I have you, don't I? Whatever you say, we'll buy."
Jiang Cha also added, "I just checked, Uncle Huo only has three bowls at home, so we have to buy pots and pans as well!"
Ye Surong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The three of them were lying on the coffee table writing a list when Wang Qing's voice came weakly from outside the door.
"Brother Huo, are you home?"
The door to Room 305 was open. Wang Qing stood outside the doorframe. Her slender eyes were like rippling lake water in March. With a gentle smile, she continued, "Brother Huo, when I came to look for you this morning, I found that no one was home. Please give me the clothes you've been saving for the past few days. I need to wash the sheets, and I can wash them together at the pond!"
Washing the sheets in the middle of the day?
Jiang Cha frowned slightly and looked up, only to see the woman standing outside the door wearing a simple navy blue top and black pants. Her long hair was casually tied into a low ponytail, with a strand of hair hanging from her forehead to the side of her cheek.
She had a smile on her face and casually tucked the hair that fell on her cheek behind her ear.
This action looks natural, yet it is also invisibly seductive.
Jiang Cha remembered this woman. When the neighbors were teasing her mother and Uncle Huo, the basket in this woman's hand fell to the ground, and the fruits and vegetables in the basket fell all over the floor.
At that time, she felt that this woman was strange. It turned out that she was waiting for her and her mother here?
Sure enough, Ye Surong's expression changed slightly when she heard this.
