Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Visiting Relatives
Zhuo Jia sat in the old courtyard, looking at her mother-in-law's angry face, shrinking her neck and not daring to say a word.
Ever since she received a call from Qiao Anchuan at the brigade headquarters, asking her to go to the army to visit her family, she had no objection. However, her father-in-law was sitting next to her at the time, so she said she would discuss it with her family, and then...
There is no need to discuss it at all because her mother-in-law doesn't want to!
Liu Hongying was so angry that she was spinning around on the ground, hands on her hips, saying, "Is there something wrong with Chuanzi's brain? It's so cold, and his wife has just recovered from a cold, but he actually wants her to come to him. Is he crazy?"
She was so angry that she wanted to let the second son's family take good care of themselves at home during this period, but the second son asked Zhuo Jia to go find him after just one phone call. How could she not be angry?
His father-in-law quickly said, "Hongying, don't worry. Chuanzi said that if Lao Er's family comes to see him, he will arrange everything. He will have his friend take Lao Er's family to the train, and Chuanzi will be waiting over there to pick them up."
He actually thought it wouldn't be a big deal to ask the second family to go find Chuanzi. After all, the second family didn't have anything to do at home, and as for the fever...
Look at the rosy complexion of the second brother's family. No one in the brigade can compare to him except Zhang Zhiqing from the Zhiqing point!
If we have to continue to support him like this, how will the others survive?
Liu Hongying was still a little hesitant. She walked around the room and suddenly turned to look at Zhuo Jia and asked, "Second brother's family, tell me, are you going to spend the New Year with your second brother, or are you staying home?"
She was confused. The second brother's family should have the final say on this matter!
Zhuo Jia from the second family: "..."
She glanced at her mother-in-law and said cautiously, "Mom, I have no objection to this matter. I'll listen to you."
Her mother-in-law was really aggressive when she scolded people, and when she got angry, she would not even spare her own son. How could she dare to express any opinion?
Besides, it doesn’t make any difference to her whether she goes to spend the New Year with Qiao Anchuan or stays in the team. It’s the same everywhere anyway!
Liu Hongying glared at her and finally said, "Get up and come with me to find your Uncle Liu and see what he says. If your Uncle Liu says that you are completely recovered from your cold and fever, then you can go. Otherwise, don't go."
Whether he is a son or not is not as important as his health.
Zhuo Jia nodded quickly: "Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you."
What's the matter with being a man or not? Her mother-in-law has the final say at this time. Besides, her mother-in-law is doing this for her own good.
So Zhuo Jia followed her hurried mother-in-law out. When they arrived at the health center, Zhuo Jia didn't have time to speak, because Uncle Liu waved his hand as soon as her mother-in-law expressed her purpose.
Uncle Liu waved his hand and said, "I just took Chuanzi's pulse a few days ago. He's fine. He just had a slight fever. He'll be fine once it goes away."
In the entire brigade, he had never seen many people in better health than Chuanzi's family!
Liu Hongying was relieved then. To be honest, she was also scared. The last time, He Zhiqing from the neighboring brigade also caught a cold and fever. Later, it was the second family who sent him to the hospital. They said that he almost died. How could she not be scared!
After leaving the clinic, Zhuo Jia looked at her mother-in-law and asked, "Mom, can I go find Qiao Anchuan now?"
In fact, when she received the letter asking her to go, she didn't feel anything, but this time she received a call, well, it's not impossible for her to go!
But she didn't dare to have any thoughts at this time!
Liu Hongying waved her hands and said, "Go ahead."
She is not the kind of person who would forcibly break up a couple. Before, she was worried about the health of the second son. Now that everything is fine, why is she still trying to stop him?
Besides, there are already many children of the same age as the second child, but the second child finally got married, but passed away just two days after the wedding, so he still has no children.
Now the second son wants his family to go visit relatives, so she doesn’t have to stop them. What if they come back with a child after visiting relatives?
With this idea in mind, Liu Hongying agreed very readily this time!
Liu Hongying, the only one who tried to stop them, had no objection, so Zhuo Jia called Qiao Anchuan and told him that she didn't have to worry about what happened next and just had to wait for Qiao Anchuan to make the arrangements.
While Zhuo Jia was waiting for news from Qiao Anchuan, she sent Zhang Yunhuan away first. Zhang Yunhuan was indecisive before going home, but after he decided to go home, he got a certificate and bought a train ticket, and everything happened very quickly.
Several educated youth who said they wanted to go home for the New Year had not yet left, but Zhang Yunhuan had already boarded the train!
However, Zhuo Jia didn't have to wait long at home before she received a call from the county. It was Qiao Anchuan's friend Peng Kuo, who said that he had helped buy the train tickets for 10 a.m. and would come to pick Zhuo Jia up at that time.
"We're leaving tomorrow. Have you packed your things?" Qian Yulan asked as she sat next to Zhuo Jia.
Today she was sending cotton shoes to Zhuo Jia. She had made them a few days ago, thinking of giving them to Zhuo Jia as a New Year's gift during the Spring Festival. However, Zhuo Jia asked to celebrate the Spring Festival at her second brother's place, so she sent the cotton shoes in advance.
Zhuo Jia nodded: "Yes, I've packed it. There's nothing much to pack. I'll just take some of my own clothes. Qiao Anchuan has arranged everything."
As for how to arrange it, she didn't ask a single question. Why ask? She couldn't help at all. Besides, she still trusted Qiao Anchuan.
Qian Yulan smiled and said, "That's great. My second brother is a caring person. Just go there and enjoy your life."
It's not just her who thinks so. Her mother-in-law also thinks so. Her mother-in-law was frying hairtail fish in her hometown, saying that her second brother liked to eat it. While frying, she kept muttering, saying that it was someone's daughter-in-law who was being served, and that she could finally send the ancestor away.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh, hahaha.
Zhuo Jia gave her sister-in-law a strange look, pouting and saying dissatisfiedly, "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. Even without Qiao Anchuan, I'm still enjoying myself."
Is she enjoying a good life because of Qiao Anchuan?
It’s obviously not the case. She is blessed!
"You're right. What I mean is that when you meet the second brother, you have to enjoy a better life than you do now." Qian Yulan quickly changed her words.
That’s right, Jia Jia herself is also a blessed person, and this blessing has nothing to do with the second child.
Zhuo Jia raised her chin and snorted, "Qiao Anchuan is enjoying himself, right? I came all the way to see him, bringing him the sweater I made for him, and the delicious food our mother made for him."
Although her mother-in-law was not soft-hearted when she scolded her son, after she was sure that she would go to Qiao Anchuan's place, her mother-in-law was ruthless in looking for people to exchange things for fish and meat. If Zhuo Jia hadn't thought the things were too much, her mother-in-law would have wanted to make a bunch of dumplings and freeze them at night for her to take with her!
Qian Yulan: “…”
There is nothing wrong with what he said, and Zhuo Jia doesn't have to worry about anything, as there will be someone to see her off and on the bus. But in the bus, Jia Jia still has to sit alone for such a long time.
Thinking of this, she felt that being her second brother's wife was not easy.
Seeing her sister-in-law looking at her with a strange look, Zhuo Jia quickly changed the subject: "Sister-in-law, why did you come here alone? Where are Xiao Wei and the other three?"
Although the snow wasn't heavy this time, it was very cold. I heard that many students caught colds. Adding to the cold weather, these students had frozen hands, feet, faces, and ears...
So the school simply gave the students a holiday, and also wanted to let the students have a good year. That means there were no exams, and they said they would take the make-up exams when school started.
Zhuo Jia didn’t know what kind of mood the school was in when they made this decision, nor did she know what the students’ parents thought, but she knew that the students were very happy, even Xiao Wei, who was at the top of the class.
How happy are you?
I am so happy that I take Xiaoru, Hehe and Xiaopeng out to play every day, and I won’t bring them home without eating!
Alas, she is leaving tomorrow and will not be back until after the New Year. As a result, none of these three children came to see her. How heartless.
After talking for a while, Qian Yulan went home.
After her sister-in-law left, Zhuo Jia went to the east room to take out her bamboo suitcase, put the thinner cotton jacket and trousers in it, and then put in a set of clothes, as well as Qiao Anchuan's sweater and trousers. Winter clothes are thick, and the suitcase will be full if you can't put many in. She also had to reserve space in advance, because she didn't forget to take food with her mother-in-law.
As for the milk powder, malted milk and other things, she didn't take anything. She would wait until Qiao Anchuan bought them. She believed that Qiao Anchuan would definitely have a way!
…
The next morning before seven o'clock, her mother-in-law and father-in-law came over. Looking at the big bag her mother-in-law was holding, Zhuo Jia was glad that her suitcase was big enough and the things she needed to bring were few, otherwise the suitcase would not be able to hold them all.
Liu Hongying glanced at the things she brought and said nothing. Instead, she took out a small bag that was so small that it could be ignored from the big bag: "Here are the food I prepared for you to eat on the road. You will be on the road for three days."
She knew that the second son's family would definitely not remember to prepare anything, so fortunately she prepared it.
Zhuo Jia took a curious look. Inside the bundle were several boiled eggs, an omelet wrapped in oil paper, and a lunch box...
She couldn't help swallowing. Although she had just finished breakfast, she felt hungry again!
"Let's eat on the train." Looking at her expression, Liu Hongying knew what she was thinking and said unhappily.
Well, it’s no wonder she was worried about letting Zhuo Jia go find the second brother alone. It was really Zhuo Jia’s behavior that made her feel uneasy.
Liu Hongying, who was worried, reminded him again: "When Lao Er picks you up, remember to ask him to call home and tell them."
Otherwise she will always be worried about it!
Zhuo Jia nodded obediently: "I understand, mother."
After giving a few instructions to the other people in the family, Qiao Anchuan's friend Peng Kuo came. Liu Hongying then talked to Peng Kuo a lot before letting Zhuo Jia go.
Zhuo Jia sat in the car. Although she felt that the road was not very good, it did have one advantage. At least it was not cold.
When they arrived at the station, Peng Kuo smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I bought you a sleeper ticket. I know some people on the train, so don't worry. I've already made arrangements. I'll take you to the train to meet them."
This is an important matter entrusted to him by his brother. It concerns how his brother will spend the New Year, so he must take it too seriously.
Moreover, his brother is 25 years old this year, 26 years old in terms of age. He is almost 30 years old and still has no children. Wow, he already has two children!
Zhuo Jia pursed her lips and thanked him: "When Qiao Anchuan comes back, ask him to invite you to dinner at home."
It was just right for her to go and check it out in advance this time to see how Qiao Anchuan’s cooking skills were progressing!
Peng Kuo couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will take your sister-in-law and two children with me when the time comes."
The two of them didn't say a few words before the train arrived at the station. They stopped talking for a moment. Peng Kuo helped Zhuo Jia carry her suitcase and took her to the sleeper car.
After helping Zhuo Jia find a berth, a flight attendant came over soon and asked them to get to know each other. Then Peng Kuo hurriedly got off. He had to, as the train was about to depart!
Zhuo Jia sat on the lower bunk, looking at the scenery outside. As the car speeded up, Zhuo Jia couldn't help but yawn. She got up early today and felt sleepy.
She looked at the other people in the sleeper compartment: a mother and daughter, two elderly people, and a middle-aged man. They all looked decent people, so she breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the journey would be smooth.
As she was thinking, she fell asleep.
"I don't want to eat. These are all cold. I want to eat the food on the train."
Zhuo Jia was still asleep. She was startled when she heard these sharp words. She subconsciously sat up straight and found that the noise was made by the mother and daughter.
The mother took out a lunch box, which should be the food she brought from home, but was rejected...
She took one look at the young female comrade and had only one thought in her mind: I was wrong!
The middle-aged woman seemed to notice other people's gazes. She felt a little embarrassed and said hurriedly, "Then wait, I'll buy it for you."
After saying this, she took the lunch box and ran away.
Zhuo Jia pretended that she saw nothing and took out eggs and omelets from her bag. However, she ate a few eggs but didn't eat the omelets because they were too cold!
She touched her still-unfull stomach, took out her lunch box, took the kettle she carried with her and went out to get some hot water!
After Zhuo Jia left, the young woman started to act strange again: "Huh, she just left like that without asking anyone to help look after her luggage. If she loses anything, don't blame me."
"Jingjing, stop talking nonsense." Xie Lian said with a frown.
There are five people in their sleeper berth. If something is really missing, none of them can escape. Besides, when the female comrade got on the train just now, the conductor came over to greet her. They all saw it. Those who can get a sleeper berth must have some connections, so no one will cause trouble for themselves.
Alas, looking at her daughter, she couldn't help sighing. It was all her fault. She and their old Sun were busy with work and neglected their daughter's education. This time she took leave and sent her daughter to old Sun to take care of her.
Sun Jing said angrily, "I'm not kidding. There are all kinds of people on this train. Who knows, someone might just want to come here and take advantage of the situation."
Others: “…”
At this moment, even the other two old men and the middle-aged man looked over. This female comrade really had a lot on her mind.
Zhuo Jia didn't think so much when she went out, because there was only a suitcase and some food on her berth. She had a lock on the suitcase. As for money and other things, they were all in her cross-body bag.
She filled her lunch box and kettle with hot water, and asked a passing flight attendant to help her hold it for a while. She took the time to go to the toilet.
Then I walked through the crowd and back to the sleeper car little by little. It was so difficult, really so difficult. I must be cautious when traveling long distances alone in the future!
…
It was only during the next three days that Zhuo Jia truly felt the inconvenience of taking the train. She was thankful more than once that she had a sleeper ticket because the berths were less crowded. Otherwise, it would have been inconvenient to go to the toilet, let alone eat.
But during these three days, she was also tormented quite a lot. That female comrade named Jingjing was really troublesome. But she also had one advantage, that is, she didn't trouble outsiders, so she could be regarded as watching the fun along the way!
When they finally arrived at the station, Zhuo Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief. When the train stopped, she was eager to get off. The attendant that Peng Kuo had just found came over and told her to wait until there were fewer people on the train before getting off, so that no one would steal her money.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
Thieves nowadays are really arrogant!
She was not the only one who was not in a hurry to get off the bus. Except for the mother and daughter who left early, everyone else in their compartment waited until there was no one else around before leaving.
During these three days, even though Zhuo Jia was not an outgoing person, she got to know everyone in the carriage. It seemed that the mother and daughter were visiting relatives in the army just like her, while the other three men were on business trips.
What a coincidence, the people in this carriage got on the train at different places, but got off at the same place!
When she got off the train with her suitcase, she hadn't taken two steps when she saw Qiao Anchuan striding towards the train.
Seeing this situation, Zhuo Jia looked around and found a place where she would not be in the way and waited for Qiao Anchuan to come and pick her up.
"Jia Jia, how are you? Are you tired?" Qiao Anchuan saw her at a glance, walked to her side, took the suitcase from her hand, and asked with some concern.
Well, he was both happy and worried. He was happy that Jia Jia was willing to take such a long train ride in the middle of winter to see him, but he was worried that Jia Jia could not adapt to such a long train ride.
He drove over to pick up Jiajia early in the morning, just wanting to see her earlier. Three or four months have passed since they got married!
Zhuo Jia spoke frankly: "It's okay. It's a sleeper berth, so I wasn't too tired. It's just a little inconvenient to travel by myself."
At first, she just dropped her suitcase and left. Later, when she got familiar with the other people in the carriage, she asked them to help watch over her suitcase.
Qiao Anchuan felt even more distressed when he heard this. He carried the suitcase in one hand and protected Zhuo Jia with the other as they walked out: "Then let's go back now. I've packed up the house. You can have a good rest when you get home."
He knew that Jia Jia had a fever and was sick a few days ago, so she had to go back and rest.
Zhuo Jia was a little curious. She looked up and asked, "Home? Qiao Anchuan, have you applied for a house here?"
That shouldn’t be the case. Didn’t they say before that she couldn’t join the army?
Qiao Anchuan shook his head and nodded again: "It's not to accompany the troops, it's to visit relatives. We have newly built several buildings in our family compound, and there are not so many sisters-in-law accompanying the troops, so there are still empty houses, and the family members who come to visit are arranged there."
So he cleaned up the house before Jiajia came, bought food and drinks, and started cooking when Jiajia came. Of course, he was the one who started cooking!
Zhuo Jia was a little surprised that there were actually buildings. She thought that the houses here in the staff compound were all the same as those with yards in her hometown. After all, it was quite remote!
But her surprise came to an abrupt end when she saw the two people sitting in the car. Although she knew that they were also going to the army and guessed that their destination might be the same, she didn't expect that they could ride in the same car. This was really...
What a bad fate!
"Comrade Zhuo Jia, what a coincidence." Xie Lian was also a little surprised to see her.
However, since everyone has the same destination, it seems there is no problem taking one car.
Zhuo Jia smiled, pursed her lips and said, "It's quite a coincidence."
After saying this, she looked at Sun Jing again and sighed in her heart. It seems that her days in the staff quarters will not be too boring!
Qiao Anchuan asked in surprise: "Jia Jia, do you know Sister Xie?"
Well, Sister Xie is Captain Sun's family member. When she knew he was coming to pick up Jia Jia, the captain came along...
Hey, where is their leader?
Zhuo Jia didn't know what Qiao Anchuan was thinking. She smiled and said, "Well, Sister Xie and I are in the same carriage."
After saying that, she looked at Comrade Jingjing again. Very good. Comrade Jingjing was also looking at her with surprise. Hahaha, they are almost the same age, but there is a generation difference between them!
"That's a coincidence." Qiao Anchuan said in surprise. After that, he looked at Xie Lian and asked, "Sister-in-law Xie, where is our leader?"
How come we lost such a great leader?
Xie Lian wanted to sigh when she heard this, and waved her hand and said, "Old Sun is getting some hot water, he'll be back soon."
Perhaps because he was excited about seeing his daughter, and when he heard Jingjing say she was thirsty, Lao Sun went to the station to find a place to get hot water.
Qiao Anchuan: "..."
Qiao Anchuan, who vaguely sensed something, wisely didn't ask, but talked quietly with Zhuo Jia outside the car. When he saw their leader from a distance, he went up to him and said a few words. Then he came back and asked Zhuo Jia to sit in the front with him. As for their leader?
We also have to let their team leader go to the back to accompany my sister-in-law and niece!
On the way back, Zhuo Jiacai was so off the beaten path, and the road was really bumpy. Fortunately, she was sitting in the front. If she had sat in the back...
Before she left, she wasn't going to take the bus to the city anymore!
When they arrived at the family compound, Zhuo Jia just got out of the car and saw Comrade Jingjing also getting out of the car, but the way she walked was a little awkward, cough cough!
Sun Jing said angrily, "Dad, the roads here are too bad."
She will never come again!
Captain Sun: “…”
He wanted to turn around and say that Qiao Anchuan didn't drive slower, but when he saw Zhuo Jia standing next to Qiao Anchuan, he swallowed the words back. Forget it, it was the first time that Qiao Anchuan's family members came, so he should give the boy some face.
Qiao Anchuan pretended not to notice their leader's hesitation and said directly, "Leader, take your sister-in-law and niece home first. We will go home too."
Wait for him to send Jia Jia home before returning the car!
Xie Lian smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back quickly and let Xiao Zhuo have a good rest. The train ride must be tiring."
Anyway, she was really tired. Maybe it was because she was too old and couldn't stand the hardship anymore.
After a few more casual words, Zhuo Jia and Qiao Anchuan went upstairs.
When they reached the third floor, Qiao Anchuan put down the suitcase in his hand, took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. He waited for Zhuo Jia to go in before he carried the suitcase in and closed the door!
Zhuo Jia came in and took a look around first. The house was not very big, but it had everything it needed. It also faced the sun, so it was convenient for cooling quilts and drying clothes. She took a walk around the kitchen and bedroom.
As soon as he came out, he gave Qiao Anchuan a thumbs up: "Well prepared."
The kitchen is fully stocked with daily necessities, and the bedding in the bedroom has just been dried in the sun, which shows that a lot of care has been taken.
Qiao Anchuan smiled: "I started preparing since I wrote you the letter!"
He had just gotten married to Jia Jia and had been looking forward to her coming for a long time since they had been separated for so long.
Zhuo Jia was amused by this. She walked up to Qiao Anchuan, put her hands behind her back, raised her head and asked, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if I didn't come?"
You should know that Qiao Anchuan had already written a letter asking her to come, but she only decided to come after they talked on the phone.
Qiao Anchuan looked at the familiar face so close, and he felt his heart pounding. He swallowed and said, "We are so close, I knew you would come."
After saying this, he turned and walked out, saying as he walked, "I'm going to return the car, you take a rest first."
As he spoke, he opened the door and walked forward, then he tripped over the threshold which was as low as it could be!
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She just watched Qiao Anchuan fleeing in panic. In fact, she really wanted to say that no matter how fast Qiao Anchuan ran, she could see his red face!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She really didn't expect that after not seeing each other for such a long time, Comrade Qiao Anchuan's face had become even thinner. Just a few words of telepathy had turned him into this. This was really...
Give her a surprise!
The unscrupulous Zhuo Jia stood on the balcony and watched Qiao Anchuan drive away from the family compound. She couldn't help yawning. Although it was a sleeper berth, she hadn't slept well in the past three days. Forget it, she decided to go to sleep.
So when Qiao Anchuan finished delivering the car and ran all the way back home, he found that Zhuo Jia was already asleep.
He sat by the bed and watched Zhuo Jia for a long time before reluctantly going out to cook.
This is Jia Jia's first meal in the family compound, so he has to show off his best cooking skills so that Jia Jia will be willing to stay a little longer!
And Zhuo Jia did not disappoint him, because she woke up, and was awakened by the smell of food. She took out a thin cotton jacket from the suitcase and put it on, and then came out wearing cotton shoes.
When she walked into the kitchen, she saw Qiao Anchuan wearing an apron that didn't fit her well, walking around in the kitchen. She walked in and was surprised to see that there was a stewed chicken. No wonder she thought so.
Hearing the noise, Qiao Anchuan turned around and smiled when he saw her: "Are you hungry? I'll get you a bowl of chicken soup first."
He prepared two dishes, and then got two servings of rice from the kitchen. They were both warming on the stove, waiting for Jia Jia to wake up and eat.
Zhuo Jia licked her lips and asked, "Is the chicken ready?"
As he said this, he touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry, really hungry."
Qiao Anchuan smiled when he saw her little gesture: "Okay, go wash your hands, and then eat."
He felt like he had been laughing all day and couldn't control himself at all. Of course, he didn't want to control himself!
"Yeah." Zhuo Jia nodded obediently.
After washing her hands, she also started serving the dishes and taking the bowls and chopsticks. When she smelled the fragrance of the food, Zhuo Jia's eyes brightened.
After taking a bite, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "It tastes better than when we first got married. Your cooking skills have improved a lot."
I have learned a lot, this is definitely a learning process!
Qiao Anchuan said with some pride: "If it tastes good, eat more. I went to the cooking class to learn how to cook!"
As long as he is a good cook, he is sure to keep Jia Jia for a while longer!
"This is a reward for you. Keep up the good work!" Zhuo Jia picked up a chicken leg and passed it to Qiao An.
But she discovered that Qiao Anchuan had been eating cabbage, and he only ate the chicken head and chicken feet, without eating a single piece of good meat. How could she meet such a good man?
She is so outstanding!
Qiao Anchuan stepped back with the bowl in his hand, wanting to say that he didn't like it, but he was glared at. Then he obediently took the bowl and continued eating!
Hey, Jia Jia came all the way to see him, how could he bear to make Jia Jia angry!
After dinner, Qiao Anchuan went to wash the pots and dishes without complaint, while Zhuo Jia moved a chair and sat at the kitchen door to chat. How could this not be considered an alternative form of participation?
"Jia Jia, I've boiled the water. You can just wash yourself first." Qiao Anchuan turned and said to Zhuo Jia.
He remembered that Jia Jia took a bath before going to bed every night.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
Although she has to wash it every day, why does it sound so unclear from what Qiao Anchuan said? Is it Comrade Qiao Anchuan who is not innocent, or is it her?
Although she was thinking about all sorts of things, her actions were not chaotic at all. Even when she drove Qiao Anchuan out, one could see Qiao Anchuan's red ears!
Zhuo Jia blinked and confirmed that the one who was not innocent was Comrade Qiao Anchuan.
She coughed and thought to herself, we are almost an old married couple, what is there to be embarrassed about?
Soon, Zhuo Jia realized that besides old couples, there was another kind of...
A long separation is better than a new marriage!
…
The next day, after Zhuo Jia woke up, the first thing she did was to check the time. After confirming that it was after eleven o'clock, she silently pulled the quilt to cover her head, then pressed her waist with her hand. Great, the familiar feeling was back.
Thinking of something, she pounded the bed hard with her hand. She couldn't understand why there was such a big difference between people. Qiao Anchuan could still go to training, but she couldn't get up from the bed?
Zhuo Jia, who refused to admit the gap, struggled to get up from the bed and walked towards the kitchen step by step with determination!
Ten minutes later, Zhuo Jia drank the leftover chicken soup from last night. She stood on the balcony, drinking while looking down. There were quite a few children here. It was already past eleven o'clock, and they were still playing outside.
She didn't stand on the balcony for long, because soon she saw some people in green military uniforms coming back one after another. Well, of course, the only familiar one was Comrade Qiao Anchuan from their family!
As if noticing her gaze, Qiao Anchuan looked up at her, smiled and waved, then ran over here. Others noticed Qiao Anchuan's actions and all looked up as he did.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She silently left the balcony with the bowl in her hand. "Stop talking, don't say anything. Comrade Qiao Anchuan is too ostentatious. This is not good. He'll get beaten easily!"
"What's the big deal? They all have wives, and I never said I would beat them up before!" Qiao Anchuan said righteously after returning with food.
Those who don’t have wives wouldn’t come to the family compound at this time.
Zhuo Jia stared at Qiao Anchuan curiously for a long time, and finally even took action out of curiosity, muttering, "I have to take a good look. Are you shameless or thick-skinned?"
If you say he is thick-skinned, he blushes easily; if you say he is thin-skinned, he can say this with a clear conscience.
Qiao Anchuan grabbed her hand, held it in his hand and said with a smile: "Jia Jia, it's dinner time now. You can touch me as you like after dinner."
After saying that, he squeezed Zhuo Jia's hand and thought to himself, it's so good to have a wife by my side!
Zhuo Jia directly shook Qiao Anchuan's hand away and said unhappily, "Eat."
She was wrong. Qiao Anchuan was really thick-skinned, otherwise he wouldn't have said such words with a blushing face!
Qiao Anchuan quickly set the table and said while eating, "Jia Jia, if you're bored at home, you can go out for a walk after dinner, or go see the leader's sister-in-law."
After all, Jia Jia only knows Sister Xie now!
Zhuo Jia thought of Sister Xie, and then thought of Sister Xie's daughter, and shook her head firmly: "I'm not bored, you just do your thing, I will take care of myself."
Judging from those three days on the train, Mrs. Xie's daughter is too difficult to get along with. If she doesn't go, she's afraid that on the first day, there will be rumors that she had a fight with others!
"Okay, then I'll take you out for a walk after dinner tonight." Qiao Anchuan nodded.
He felt a little guilty. It was he who asked Jiajia to come, and Jiajia didn't know anyone here. She could only stay alone in the house, standing on the balcony and looking outside like before...
Seeing Qiao Anchuan's face getting uglier and uglier, Zhuo Jia took a breath, picked up a piece of chicken for him and said, "Don't think too much. If I want to go out and play, I will go out by myself."
Even if she can't play with those sisters-in-law, she can still play with those kids!
Qiao Anchuan looked up and said seriously, "I'll take a leave in two days and take you to the city to play."
He asked someone to exchange some cloth coupons and went to the city to buy new clothes for Jiajia.
Thinking of the bumpy road, Zhuo Jia shook her head firmly: "Just go about your business. You don't need to ask for leave."
If going to the city is such a pain, why go to the city!
This man really doesn't know how to live!
But sometimes, just because she doesn’t go looking for someone doesn’t mean that they won’t come looking for her!
"What are you doing staying at home all day?" Sun Jing asked with some dissatisfaction as she looked at Zhuo Jia who came to open the door for her.
She had just knocked on the door for a long time. If she didn't know that Zhuo Jia didn't know anyone, she would have suspected that she was not at home.
Zhuo Jia calmly reminded: "It's not all day, I just came yesterday."
What do you mean by a whole day? Even if all the time she spent in the family compound was added up, it wouldn't even be a whole day. So can we base our words on reality?
Sun Jing was choked, her face looked a little uncomfortable, and she rolled her eyes and asked: "Do you want to go downstairs to play? I'll take you there."
She knew that she couldn't win the argument with Zhuo Jia. This woman was the epitome of sharp-tongued!
"No, it's too cold outside." Zhuo Jia shook her head firmly.
She felt that her relationship with Sun Jing was not good enough. What if Sun Jing wanted to see her make a fool of herself?
She wouldn't abandon this person.
Sun Jing was angry: "No, why is it so cold outside? There are so many children playing outside. Besides, it would be embarrassing if you didn't show up."
On her way to find Zhuo Jia, she heard a lot of people discussing Zhuo Jia, and they were all extremely curious.
Zhuo Jia looked at Sun Jing and said with a smile: "Go and play. In my eyes, you are also a child."
After all, you have to call her aunt!
Sun Jing: “…”
After realizing what Zhuo Jia meant, she was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and asked, "Tell me, how old are you this year?"
She is also a child. Hey, is there a child as old as her in the world?
Zhuo Jia laughed even more happily: "Why do you care how old I am? Anyway, I call your mother sister-in-law. There is a generation gap between us."
Oh, it was only when they were on the train that she didn’t know about this relationship, otherwise she would have made Sun Jing so angry that she would have jumped up and down on the train.
Sun Jing was so angry that she jumped up and down: "You're going too far."
Zhuo Jia: "..."
Well, now jump!
