Hu Qiaozhen didn't stay long. After a brief chat, she took her child back to her sister's house.

When Hu Qiaomei saw the two children eating fruit candies, her eyes widened.

"Yang Niannian also bought some fruit candies?"

Hu Qiaozhen knew her sister's character, but when she saw her sister like this, she couldn't help but feel disgusted, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Mrs. Yang was quite generous and gave each of them a handful of candy."

Hu Qiaomei pulled her daughter into her arms, took out all the candies in her pocket without saying a word, peeled one and put it in her mouth, and said.

"I am so unlucky that I have raised an ungrateful person like you. You have no filial piety at all and you only know how to stuff the food into your own stomach."

Seeing that his daughter was about to cry, he immediately raised his hand to threaten her, "Why don't you try crying? All you do is cry all day long. Can't I cure you?"

Hu Qiaozhen quickly pulled her niece behind her and changed the subject.

"Mrs. Yang said I might be pregnant with twins. Do you think I should go to the hospital for a checkup?"

Hu Qiaomei rolled her eyes and said that the nose was not a nose and the eyes were not eyes.

"You might as well buy a few pounds of meat with that money. Are twins that easy to give birth to? There are so many military wives in the military compound, have you ever seen anyone give birth to twins? Just listen to her nonsense."

Hu Qiaozhen thought about it and it made sense, but the idea that had just come to her mind was extinguished by her sister.

Hu Qiaomei bent down and picked up her son, "Mom will take you to visit relatives."

Hu Qiaozhen saw what her sister was thinking and quickly stopped her, "Sister, have you forgotten what your brother-in-law told you? Do you really want to go back home? If you dare to provoke Sister Yang, I will complain to my brother-in-law."

Hu Qiaomei was so angry that she put the child to the ground and poked her sister hard on the forehead.

"I shouldn't have brought you here in the first place. You're such a traitor. I should have let our mother find someone for you to marry."

Hu Qiaozhen didn't say anything. As long as her sister didn't make trouble for Yang Niannian and affect her man's future, she would accept it if she said a few words to her at home.

…

At this moment, Yang Niannian was looking for Wang Fengjiao with candy in her hand. From a distance, she saw Wang Fengjiao sticking her butt out and building a rabbit nest with adobe bricks.

Zhou Haiyang shouted before he even got close.

"Mom, Aunt Yang is back."

Wang Fengjiao didn't even raise her head. "If you are tired, go back and rest. Don't talk nonsense here. Your Aunt Yang is studying in Beijing. She probably hasn't had her holiday yet."

Zhou Haiyang was anxious, "Mom, I didn't lie to you, look up!"

As he said this, he threw the brick in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Aunt Yang."

The other three children also saw Yang Niannian at this time and jumped around happily.

"Aunt Yang."

Yang Niannian smiled and waved, "Hurry up and wash your hands and come over to have some candy."

Zhou Haiyang took the candy like a naughty monkey.

"Thank you, Aunt Yang."

After saying that, he led his brothers and sisters to wash their hands and share the candy.

"Niannian, why did you come back so suddenly? I thought Haiyang was just being lazy and making up stories." Wang Fengjiao was no longer in the mood to work. Seeing Yang Niannian about to come in, she quickly shouted, "Don't come in. This place is full of rabbit shit and it's very dirty. Let's go back and talk."

As he said this, he bent down, washed his hands in the bucket, and prepared to go out.

I haven't seen Wang Fengjiao for half a year. She has lost a lot of weight and her skin has become darker.

When a person loses weight, his or her facial features appear more three-dimensional and the whole person looks completely different.

Yang Niannian made up an excuse and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you in advance."

After taking a look at the rabbit nest, he found something wrong. "Sister Wang, didn't you expand the rabbit colony? How come there are only a dozen rabbits?"

"Well, all the rabbits have been sold. These will be sold after a while." Wang Fengjiao smiled and walked out of the rabbit nest.

"Ah?" Yang Niannian was a little surprised. "Is it because it doesn't make money, or is it because the army doesn't allow breeding?"

Wang Fengjiao pulled Yang Niannian towards the military dependents' quarters and said, "Old Zhou will be retired at the end of August. It's inconvenient to take these rabbits with him, so we can only sell them first."

As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "I have lived in the army for so many years, and this place is like my home. I really have to leave, but I feel reluctant. The children are all grown up, and Lao Zhou is getting older, so demobilization will be good for the children."

Although Yang Niannian was reluctant, she also understood, "So after you return home, do you plan to continue breeding?"

"Raise it, why not?" When Wang Fengjiao mentioned raising it, her eyes lit up. "I have contracted a place in my hometown where it is more convenient for raising livestock. I have already thought about it. When I go back, I will directly contract the hilltop above my village and raise livestock on a large scale."

Through raising rabbits for some time, she discovered that if she wants to make money, she has to be daring.

Relying on farming a few acres of land, I can only have enough food and drink, and I can't even afford to support four children to go to college.

Yang Niannian encouraged her, "Sister Wang, if you want to do it, just do it boldly. If you have any problems with rabbit sales in the future, just come to me and I will definitely find a way to help you. Your hometown is not far from Beijing, so it will be troublesome for you to contact me."

"Niannian, what you said makes me feel more at ease. I can work hard now. If I make money in the future, I will buy a few houses in Beijing and move in to be your neighbor."

Wang Fengjiao believed that Lu Shishen would be transferred to Beijing, and the young couple would definitely settle there.

The two quickly returned to Wang Fengjiao's home, and she poured a bowl of cold boiled water for Yang Niannian.

In those days, people didn't have teacups at home, so when guests came, they would pour water from bowls. Yang Niannian was used to it, so she took a sip from the bowl and listened attentively to what Wang Fengjiao had said about what had happened in the Military Family Compound over the past six months.

Hu Qiaomei and Ding Lanying are indispensable in all matters, big or small.

"You don't know, Director Ding has had a hard time in the past six months. He even fainted from anger several times."

"Director Ding introduced several people to Yuting, but Yuting didn't like any of them. This was already bad enough for her, but Junhao brought back a girl two months ago, saying she was his girlfriend from college."

"This girl has a nice face, a decent height, and seems quite polite, but Director Ding refused to agree to it, and despised her because she was from the countryside. He kept saying sarcastic things to her, but the girl was a strong-willed person, so she broke up with Junhao and went home."

Wang Fengjiao described the incident vividly, and when the mood was right, she even clapped her hands.

"This is a disaster. Junhao was so angry that he drank rat poison and foamed at the mouth. He lay at the door of the military compound twitching. Fortunately, Captain Lu found him in time, poured soapy water into his mouth, and sent him to the hospital for treatment. He is now fine."

Yang Niannian had never met Ding Lanying's son, but she didn't expect that he was a warrior who charged forward for love.

Curiously asked, "Did Director Ding agree?"

"How can I not agree? If I don't agree, my son will be gone." Wang Fengjiao sighed, "To be honest, Director Ding hadn't agreed yet. It was Political Commissar Zhang who nodded first."

Yang Niannian smiled and blinked, "When are you getting married?"

Ding Lanying's family will probably never have peace in the future. The seeds of conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been sown before her son gets married.

Wang Fengjiao, "Director Ding has been upset about marriage again recently. Junhao insisted on getting married on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, saying it was the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet. I don't understand young people's thoughts, but Director Ding thinks that July is unlucky. Isn't this another fight with her son?"
