Yang Niannian frowned, but resisted the urge to chase the man away.
"What can I do for you?"
Hu Qiaomei smiled and talked to herself.
"I just moved here a few days ago, and I have a lot of things to buy at home, so I haven't come to visit you."
"I went to town today to buy pots, pans, and other things. Although the food in the cafeteria is delicious, it is not cost-effective for a family to always eat in the cafeteria. It is better to cook by ourselves. Otherwise, people will say behind my back that I am a lazy woman."
Seeing that she said a lot of things but didn't get to the point, Yang Niannian lost her patience.
"Just tell me what you want from me!"
Hu Qiaomei scolded him without hesitation, "You are really impatient. I was just about to say that."
She didn't beat around the bush. "I came back from town today, and I heard from Hongli that your baby is not your baby, but Deputy Headmaster Lu's baby. I also heard from them that your baby now recognizes you as his godmother, right?"
After hearing this, Yang Niannian still couldn't figure out what she wanted to do, so she nodded and said, "Yes."
Hu Qiaomei was happy, thinking that the rumors were true, and she spoke out.
"I also heard that your child has no mother..."
Yang Niannian couldn't listen any more, "Why are you talking like that? What do you mean by motherless? How did he come into the world without a mother?"
"Hey, why are you so anxious? Wait for me to finish what I'm saying!" Hu Qiaomei quickly explained, "I heard his mother is gone, so I gave him to your family to raise."
Yang Niannian held back and didn't say anything. She wanted to see what Hu Qiaomei was trying to do!
Hu Qiaomei glanced at Yang Niannian's expression before continuing.
"How can a grown man like Deputy Commander Lu take care of a child? He is busy in the army all day and never comes home. How can the child be left alone?"
"Deputy Captain Lu is so young, it's impossible for him to live alone for the rest of his life, right? Sleeping alone in the middle of winter, without even a warm blanket, how lonely it would be!"
"I have a younger sister from my mother's family. She's 22 years old this year and she's pretty good looking. I thought I might as well match her up with Deputy Headmaster Lu. My sister is virtuous and capable. She doesn't mind that Deputy Headmaster Lu has been married before and is willing to be a stepmother to his children. She's a perfect match for him."
She came back from town and heard about this. She just left her things at home and came over.
Thinking that the two families were neighbors, they would definitely talk more intimately than others. When she entered the house and saw that Yang Niannian was the person she gave a ride with, she felt even happier.
This thing! Nine times out of ten it will be accomplished.
Yang Niannian was speechless for a while. Not to mention Lu Nianfei himself, her scalp tingled when she heard it, and she said with a cold face.
"You want to introduce someone to someone, don't you first find out the situation clearly? Deputy Captain Lu is not divorced, and his wife is not dead. Are you introducing him to someone because you want him to make a mistake?"
Besides, if you really want to introduce someone to Lu Nianfei, go find Lu Nianfei! Why look for her?
She is An An's godmother, not Lu Nianfei's godmother.
"Ah?" Hu Qiaomei's smile froze on her face. She opened her mouth and asked, "She's not dead? If she's not dead, why did her child come to join the army but she didn't?"
She thought that Deputy Captain Lu’s wife was dead, so she wanted to hurry over to avoid being overtaken by someone else. How could she be alive after all this time?
"You can go ask Deputy Captain Lu! I can't talk about other people's affairs behind their backs." Yang Niannian said.
Hu Qiaomei stared at Yang Niannian for a while, and seeing that she looked unhappy, she became suspicious.
"I'm introducing a date to Vice Captain Lu, but you don't seem happy about it. Are you planning to introduce your relatives to him?"
Hu Qiaomei said whatever she thought of without considering whether she might offend others by saying so.
"His wife is still alive and they haven't divorced. Who can I introduce to him?"
Yang Niannian discovered that Hu Qiaomei had a strange mind. Not only was her words offensive, but she was also a little bit stupid.
Most people would not ask any more questions if they heard that the other party’s wife was not dead. But Hu Qiaomei was different and even started to suspect her.
Hu Qiaomei realized later that Yang Niannian seemed unhappy.
She curled her lips and spoke in a roundabout way.
"I feel that the people in the military dependents' home are not as honest as the villagers in the countryside. It is said that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. The villagers treat their neighbors very kindly."
Yang Niannian felt that there was no way to communicate with Hu Qiaomei. "I want to rest for a while. If there is nothing else, you can go back first!"
"Why are you chasing people away?"
Hu Qiaomei was also a little unhappy. She stood up with a sullen face and walked away with her hips twisted.
Yang Niannian took a casual glance and found that there seemed to be a red spot behind her buttocks. Before she could see clearly, Hu Qiaomei walked away.
She subconsciously glanced at the bed sheet, her head suddenly ached, and she almost died of anger.
This woman is so rude. Doesn't she feel anything when she has her period? She even got it on her bed sheets.
I lifted the bed sheet and took a look. I saw that the bedding underneath was not dirty. I was immediately relieved. Fortunately, the bed sheet was made of thick cloth.
She got out of bed, found a pair of scissors, cut off the dirty parts that Hu Qiaomei had made and threw them away, and threw the unstained parts into the washing machine.
The sheets outside were dry, so she brought the bedding and quilt covers into the room, and Wang Fengjiao came over with the needle and thread.
"Sister Wang, you're here at the right time. I was just about to call you." Yang Niannian took off her shoes, got on the bed, and spread the quilt flat on the bed.
Wang Fengjiao helped her spread the quilt cover flat. "I just saw you take in all the quilts that were hung out to dry, so I guessed that the quilt covers were hung out to dry. It's convenient to have a washing machine. A quilt cover this thick can be dried in half a day after it is drained."
"Yes, when you wash thick things like sheets and quilts in the future, just bring them here to wash. It will be convenient and save effort." Yang Niannian said.
Wang Fengjiao was happy when she heard this, but she didn't really want to take the things over.
People have good intentions, but she cannot be without a sense of boundaries. A washing machine costs several hundred dollars and consumes a lot of electricity.
She herself was reluctant to buy this thing, so how could she have the audacity to use someone else's?
After the two of them spread the bedding and quilt cover flat, Wang Fengjiao took the needle and thread to help sew the quilt.
In order to protect the cotton from being kicked, the quilt cover and mattress were sewn together with needle and thread in those days.
Wang Fengjiao is deft and efficient at work, and she can thread the needle very quickly. The two of them chatted while they were busy.
"I was always worried about you and Captain Lu having a baby, but now that An An's father is back, I can finally put my mind at ease."
"The children you and Captain Lu have in the future will definitely be smart and beautiful, unlike the four brats in my family. They are better like me, but they all look like their father, and they all look like bachelors."
Yang Niannian replied sweetly, "No, I think the brothers are all good. They have excellent academic performance and thick eyebrows and big eyes. They are still young now, and when they grow up, they will definitely be outstanding. You can just wait to hold your grandson!"
Wang Fengjiao smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, "Niannian, your little mouth is really good at talking."
She suddenly thought of something and said, "I saw your bed sheet drying outside and there's a tear in it. Was it gnawed by a mouse?"
