When Political Commissar Zhang returned home from the army, he saw Ding Lanying sitting alone in the main room. He felt a little confused and looked around the rooms on the east and west sides, but still couldn't see his daughter.

"I heard Yuting is back. Where is she?"

Ding Lanying frowned and spoke in a cold tone.

"Leave."

Political Commissar Zhang immediately understood what was wrong, "Did you two have a fight?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't asked, but after asking this, Ding Lanying's pent-up emotions exploded.

"Yuting has been spoiled by you, just like her brother. She wants to piss me off to death. If you hadn't stopped me from taking care of her, she wouldn't have been brought up like this by Yang Niannian."

Political Commissar Zhang frowned, "Why are you bringing Yang Niannian up again?"

Ding Lanying stood up excitedly, "If Yang Niannian hadn't been behind this, would Yuting be so close to Lu Nianfei? Yang Niannian saw that Yuting was innocent and deliberately instigated Yuting to be close to Lu Nianfei. Her purpose was to ruin Yuting's reputation and take revenge on us."

She became angrier and angrier as she spoke. "You don't know how badly others say things behind our backs. We are going to lose face completely."

Political Commissar Zhang also frowned, "Speak a little more quietly, are you afraid that others won't hear you?"

Ding Lanying's eyes widened with anger. "Are you still afraid of being heard? Do we still have the face to do this?"

"What are you yelling about?" Political Commissar Zhang snorted, "Lu Shishen will be transferred in the second half of the year. By then, no one will be able to oppose you."

Ding Lanying was stunned for a moment, then her emotions suddenly stabilized. "Where is Lu Shishen going to be transferred to?"

"Jing City." Political Commissar Zhang sat on the stool with a stern face, "If you hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't have to worry about Yu Ting's affairs now. Once Lu Shishen goes to Jing City, his future will be limitless. Even the old leaders can't be compared with him."

At the end, she added, "Women have narrow horizons."

When Ding Lanying heard that Lu Shishen was going to be transferred to Beijing, she felt even more upset than when she first heard that Lu Shishen was promoted to regiment leader.

She doubted the authenticity of the news. "Are you sure he will be transferred to Beijing? How can he, a peasant with no background, be transferred to Beijing?"

"The old leader has become his wife's godfather, how much more background does he need?" Political Commissar Zhang asked in return.

Ding Lanying choked and felt as if her heart was being bitten by thousands of ants, but she still remained stubborn.

"I just don't like him, so what? Not to mention that he was transferred to Beijing, even if he became the emperor, I still don't like him. He is just not worthy of being my son-in-law."

Political Commissar Zhang was too lazy to argue with her. "It's so late, why did you let Yuting go back alone? The child finally came back, and you can't control your temper."

"I slapped her, and she left in anger. I couldn't stop her." Ding Lanying said as if she had done nothing wrong.

"Did you hit Yuting?" Political Commissar Zhang stood up excitedly.

Ding Lanying glared, "What's the matter? Are you going to help her fight back?"

Political Commissar Zhang didn't want to argue with his wife, so he left the main room with a gloomy face, pushed his bicycle out of the yard, and was worried about his daughter going back alone, so he had to go and see if she had gone to the hospital.

When Yang Niannian brought the dishes out of the kitchen, she saw Political Commissar Zhang pushing his bicycle and walking out in a hurry. She guessed in her heart that he might be going to see Zhang Yuting.

Speaking of which, Political Commissar Zhang's vision is broader than Ding Lanying's.

However, it was thanks to Ding Lanying's mischief, otherwise, Lu Shishen might have really been arranged to have a blind date with Zhang Yuting.

After dinner, Yang Niannian gave the clothes she bought to Zhou Haiyang and his brothers, which made the brothers very happy.

She kept calling her Aunt Yang and happily took the clothes into the house to try them on.

Wang Fengjiao felt very embarrassed, "Niannian, how can I let you spend so much money?"

Yang Niannian smiled and said, "Sister Wang, I have been in the military dependents' home for such a long time, and I am grateful for your care. Captain Zhou will be retired next month, and we don't know when we will meet again, so I wanted to give the children some gifts."

Wang Fengjiao was so happy to hear that Yang Niannian always remembered her kindness.

To be honest, she was reluctant to part with them.

But the children are getting older, and Old Zhou is getting old too. Captain Lu has been transferred to Beijing, and there is no one to take care of Old Zhou. For long-term considerations, they really have to leave.

…

In the blink of an eye it was August.

Ma Xiuzhu was unable to come because her leg was hit by a hoe and she needed to rest for a while, but Zhang Junhao's wedding was held as scheduled.

Because the girl's family was not from Haicheng, only her parents and brother and sister-in-law came, and the girl got married in a small hotel.

Yang Niannian and Wang Fengjiao went to the city to buy quilt covers a few days before the wedding and gave them to Ding Lanying's family to add to the festive atmosphere.

Other military wives gave washbasins and bed sheets and quilt covers, but the materials were different.

Ding Lanying specially hired a chef and set up a simple big pot in the yard at her doorstep to entertain the military families.

Even though she was not satisfied with her daughter-in-law, she still did her best to save her face and always greeted people with a smile. People who didn't know her would think that she had chosen her own daughter-in-law.

Zhang Junhao’s girlfriend is pretty and looks capable and independent-minded, and she’s not at all stage-shy.

Even when Zhang Junhao's relatives came to make trouble for the wedding, she handled the situation skillfully. This made Ding Lanying proud, and the smile on her face became more sincere.

The weather was hot and after standing in the yard for a while, people felt as if they were going to have a heat stroke. However, the children did not mind the heat and waited in the yard to pick up wedding candies.

Yang Niannian stood in the yard for a while and was sweating profusely. There was no need for her help here, so she said to Wang Fengjiao.

"The banquet hasn't started yet. Let's go to my house and sit for a while. It's too hot here."

Wang Fengjiao wiped her sweat and followed Yang Niannian and said, "It's really a sin to get married in this season."

Yang Niannian glanced at the chef who was waving the iron spoon and said, "I see today's main dish is braised pork. In this weather, the food will go bad, right?"

Wang Fengjiao, "It's hard to say."

As soon as the two returned to Yang Niannian's house, An An and Yue Yue ran back from outside. Both of them had red faces from the sun and their hair was wet and stuck to their faces.

Wang Fengjiao asked, "Why aren't you guys playing there anymore? You still have to hand out wedding candies later."

Yueyue shook her head like a rattle, "It's too hot! I'm almost getting heatstroke."

She went there purely to see the bride and for fun. If she wanted to eat candy, her brothers and sisters would buy it for her and there was no need for her to fight over it.

Yang Niannian helped Yueyue wipe the sweat off her face. "Go inside and turn on the fan. Don't get a heat stroke. I'll call you when the meal starts."

An An Yue Yue responded, then happily ran into the west room to watch TV while enjoying the fan.

Wang Fengjiao sighed, "Nian Nian, I can see that children raised in wealth are different. Look at my kids. They are crowded in Director Ding's yard in such a hot day, waiting to pick up wedding candies."

When she makes money in the future, she will also raise her sons well.

Yang Niannian was about to respond when Zhou Haiyang suddenly ran into the yard in a hurry.

He ran and shouted, "Mom, Aunt Yang, something happened. Director Ding and the bride are fighting."
