"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you say that?" Political Commissar Zhang frowned, his expression serious. "How can you, as a family member of a military political commissar, be like those gossipy country women?"
Ding Lanying looked down upon country women the most. When she heard her husband use this word to describe her, she became so angry that her eyes sparkled and she sat up to question him.
"Who are you calling a country woman? Tell me clearly, who is a country woman?"
"What are you arguing about?" Political Commissar Zhang turned around and closed the door. "If the people watching TV hear you arguing here, what will they say about you behind your back?"
"Watch TV, watch TV, why do they all come to our house to watch TV?" Ding Lanying didn't stop talking, her voice even got louder. "Yang Niannian has a color TV at home, why don't they bring their children to watch it?"
In the first few days, when everyone came to her house to watch TV, Ding Lanying was very happy and felt that her family was the only one with the best life in the entire military compound.
Yang Niannian bought a color TV but was still unpopular.
But as time went on, she felt a little annoyed. She had to move the TV outside every night. Even when she was sleepy, everyone was still watching it enthusiastically.
Military wives don’t have to go to work in the morning and their children don’t have to go to school. They can sleep in in the morning, take a nap at noon, and stay up as late as they want at night.
She is different. She has to go to work in the morning and sleeps too late at night, so she can't get a good rest at all.
Political Commissar Zhang suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, "Why have you become like this now?"
Ding Lanying then realized that she really looked like an uneducated and unreasonable woman.
But she was angry!
She was so angry that she had no place to vent. She was almost going crazy.
"I am mad at Yang Niannian. Ever since she moved into the military compound, how many things has she done to embarrass me?"
"Why are you so angry when he got admitted to university?"
Not to mention what happened before, just talking about the fact that Yang Niannian was admitted to university, Political Commissar Zhang also felt bad, but he was not confused. The other person was capable, but he did not provoke them.
Ding Lanying choked. What could she say?
She said she was jealous that Yang Niannian was admitted to university and performed better than her daughter, and was envious of Yang Niannian for being admitted to Peking University?
She didn't want to admit it, but she was indeed angry about it, and she said this while gritting her teeth.
"How did she get into Beijing University?"
"Don't worry about why she passed the exam." Political Commissar Zhang said sternly, "Didn't you give her a silk banner last time? Didn't it just come in handy?"
When she heard about the banner, Ding Lanying became even angrier, but she was not in the right. She was depressed for a long time and glared at Political Commissar Zhang.
"Don't worry about the banner or not. I think her identity as a college student is not legitimate."
It seemed that he would feel better only if he did not admit that Yang Niannian was admitted to university based on her own ability.
Knowing that his wife was only angry in front of him and would not say anything in front of outsiders, Political Commissar Zhang took a deep breath.
"Okay, Yuting is cooking in the kitchen, go over and take a look, don't let her waste the food."
Ding Lanying was still upset, but she was a strong-willed person who cared about her reputation. No matter how unhappy she felt, she didn't want to be laughed at by outsiders.
He put on his shoes and got out of bed, then saw Zhang Yuting cutting the potatoes into shreds very skillfully, and frowned.
"Who did you learn to cook from?"
She never let her daughter go into the kitchen.
"My classmate rented a house near the school. During holidays, we often cooked together and gradually learned how to cook."
Zhang Yuting feels that now that she has grown up and graduated, it is time for her to learn more life skills.
She thought her mother would praise her.
Who would have thought that Ding Lanying would immediately put on a stern face, "Your father and I worked so hard to raise you, only to have you work as a nanny and cook for others? No wonder the school you got into was not very good, you were led astray by those bad people in the school. I told you to have less contact with those people, but you didn't even get in, right?"
Zhang Yuting's smile froze on her face. "Mom, I didn't do anything wrong. Cooking is common sense. I learned how to cook for you and dad. Shouldn't you be happy?"
"Why should I be happy?" Ding Lanying sternly taught, "Your hands will be used to hold scalpels in the future, not kitchen knives. If you want to get married in the future, you have to marry into a family of scholars, or a good family that can afford a nanny. Why are you learning to cook? Do you really want to be a housewife?"
Zhang Yuting was speechless when questioned. She felt that she was an ordinary person and just wanted to live an ordinary life.
Her mother hopes that her brother will become successful and she will become a great woman, but she is not that kind of person.
Hearing the noise, Political Commissar Zhang walked to the kitchen door and shouted in a low voice, "What are you making noise about again?"
After that, he said to Zhang Yuting in a gentle voice, "Go back to your room and rest first. I'll call you for dinner."
Zhang Yuting nodded, put down the kitchen knife and left the kitchen.
Ding Lanying was angry when she saw the dishes on the chopping board. "This child is getting more and more disobedient as he grows older. He even went to a classmate's rented house to cook without telling us. What if the other party is a bad person? How serious will the consequences be?"
Political Commissar Zhang was annoyed by her noise. "Okay, stop talking. My daughter has graduated and is working. She has her own ideas."
My daughter has always been very obedient and has lived up to expectations by being admitted to university. It would be even better if she can find a good husband in the future.
Thinking about finding a husband, Political Commissar Zhang fell into deep thought again.
He heard that Yang Huiying came to the army several times, but Qin Aonan did not go out to meet her. It seemed that Qin Aonan did not lie to him and there was really nothing going on between him and Yang Huiying.
It was also his fault that he was too impatient at the time. Now it’s a bit awkward and it’s not easy to bring up this matter again.
Forget it, let’s wait and see.
…
After dinner, Lu Ruoling took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Yang Niannian urged Lu Shishen to take a shower, and she changed the bed sheets.
He also gave Lu Ruoling a set of loose pajamas and underwear that had never been worn.
"This is pajamas. You will wear it after you take a shower and go to bed. The soap and towels I bought today are for your personal use only. The other towels and soaps belong to me, your second brother, and An An. Don't mix them up."
Lu Ruoling took the clothes and smiled innocently, "Second sister-in-law, are you so particular about this? We use one towel for the whole family. We use the same towel for bathing and washing our faces."
Yang Niannian's mouth twitched, "That's not appropriate. Don't use it like that in the future. It's unhygienic. Wear this set of pajamas and underwear first. I'll buy you two more when we go to the city tomorrow."
Lu Ruoling felt warm in her heart, "Second sister-in-law, I have never been as happy as I am today since I was a child."
She had a good meal today and slept in a room with a color TV. She was dressed in new clothes from head to toe. She didn't know before that there were special clothes to wear to sleep.
Yang Niannian saw Lu Shishen coming out of the bathroom and said to Lu Ruoling with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense. Your second brother has finished his shower. I'm going to take a shower now."
After saying this, he turned around and went back to the house to get a change of clothes and went to the bathroom.
Taking a bath at home is comfortable. There is soap to use, and you don’t have to worry about someone coming over suddenly, or snakes, insects, rats or ants on the ground.
Thinking that Lu Shishen was waiting for her in the room, Yang Niannian quickly took a shower and returned to the room. Seeing Lu Shishen standing beside the bed, she casually bolted the door, and with a wicked smile, she threw Lu Shishen on the bed and rode on his waist very skillfully.
She deliberately pressed his chest to tease him, and asked naively, "Lu Shishen, tell me, do you miss me?"
Lu Shishen's eyes were burning, and the longing in his eyes was almost condensed into a fireball.
He said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go turn off the light."
Yang Niannian blushed slightly and said shamelessly, "I won't turn off the lights tonight."
Lu Shishen's eyes darkened instantly, the ambiguity in the room reached its peak, and the eyes of the two became more and more passionate.
Just as Yang Niannian made some movement with her little hands, Lu Ruoling's voice suddenly rang out from outside.
"Second sister-in-law, did you give me An An's shorts by mistake? They can't even cover my butt. How come..."
"Don't come in."
Unfortunately, Lu Shishen's words were a step too late. With a loud bang, the old wooden door could not withstand Lu Ruoling's strong push and fell to the ground.
