Because Gu Yunduan often called Ye Zhaozhao "wife," Yuanyuan gradually learned what "wife" meant and immediately became unhappy.
“Uncle Zhou, I can’t marry two people. I think my brother is better.”
Gu Yunduan beamed with joy upon hearing her daughter's eloquent and righteous refusal.
Although my daughter is young, she has her own opinions, just like Ye Zhaozhao.
Zhou Dawu was surprised by Yuanyuan's words; she was so individualistic at such a young age.
As expected of Gu Yunduan's daughter, the children took the peach cakes and ran out to play.
Gu Yunduan and Zhou Dawu discussed whether or not to treat everyone to a meal.
Gu Yunduan felt that his wife was too tired from treating everyone to dinner, so he suggested that he make something and send it to everyone later.
Sun Xiuhua also thought the suggestion was good and made an appointment to go with Ye Zhaozhao.
Ye Zhaozhao happened to be home on the weekend and planned to make some sweet cakes to send over to everyone.
Put water and sugar in a pot, and after the water boils, add the flour in two or three batches.
Once the batter has thickened, place it on a work surface to cool completely. After it has cooled, knead it into a smooth dough.
Roll the dough into small balls, wrap them in white sugar, and fry them in oil until golden brown on both sides.
As soon as the sugar cakes were made, the triplets came to the kitchen, drooling over them. Ye Zhaozhao waited for the sugar cakes to cool down a bit before giving them to them.
There is a daycare center in the military area, and the triplets have been going there for a week.
The teachers at the daycare are great. Every time Gu Yunduan picks up the triplets, they look like they haven't had enough fun.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were attending primary school in the military region when Sun Xiuhua brought her homemade egg pancakes to their door.
"Zhaozhao, would you like to try my egg pancake?"
Ye Zhaozhao reached out and took a small piece; Sun Xiuhua's egg pancakes were the best.
Ye Zhaozhao nodded. Sun Xiuhua gave her two bills, and she planned to give the rest away.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua took the triplets out.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Tuan Tuan, Yuan Yuan, and the three children from Sun Xiuhua's family going to play on the mountain.
"Tiezhu, you're only allowed to stay at the foot of the mountain. Don't run around, or I'll break your legs."
Sun Xiuhua instructed that Tiezhu was the oldest among the children, and that they should all call him "Big Brother".
As the eldest brother, he naturally has a responsibility to protect his younger brothers.
"Mom, I know."
Sun Xiuhua had lived in the family compound longer than Ye Zhaozhao, and she knew where everyone lived, so she took Ye Zhaozhao there and introduced them to each other.
"Shall we go to Deputy Regiment Commander Wen's house first?"
Upon hearing this surname, Ye Zhaozhao instinctively thought of Wen Qiaoling, but a woman opened the door.
Seeing that they had come to deliver something, he accepted the items from their hands without expression.
Then he closed the door and went inside, which froze Sun Xiuhua's smiling face. What kind of person is this? He's supposed to be a deputy regimental commander, how rude of him!
"We received noodles, sugar, and eggs, so we should say thank you when we receive these things."
Sun Xiuhua was furious, and Ye Zhaozhao comforted her for a few moments.
Wen Renjie noticed what the woman was holding and asked a question.
Who delivered it?
"It seems to be Gu Yunduan's lover."
Upon hearing the name Gu Yunduan, Wen Renjie's face showed a hint of sadness.
Unexpectedly, he and Gu Yunduan were still assigned to work together. He thought about how Gu Yunduan had stolen the limelight before.
"Men can't stand it," the woman said, looking at the sugar cake.
“Renjie, she’s already given everyone sugar cakes, so we should treat everyone to a meal too. We can’t let them outdo us.”
"You're right, you should arrange this."
Fortunately, the next few families we visited were all quite friendly, and Sun Xiuhua introduced each one to her.
Ye Zhaozhao only remembered the general outline, thinking she would become more familiar with it later, and walked for an hour.
Finally arriving at the last house, both Sun Xiuhua and Ye Zhaozhao were exhausted.
This time, a plump woman opened the door and saw the things in Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua's hands.
They were incredibly enthusiastic. Sun Xiuhua gave Ye Zhaozhao a wink.
This is the correct way to receive things; Ye Zhaozhao's family gave them six candy cakes.
Sun Xiuhua gave out four egg pancakes. Who wouldn't be happy to receive such a thing, except for the first family surnamed Wen?
The woman said her husband was a battalion commander. After learning that Ye Zhaozhao was Gu Yunduan's lover, the woman spoke up.
"Zhao Zhao, I see you're younger than me, so I'll call you that. Can I talk to you about something?"
Upon hearing Jin Mandong say this, Ye Zhaozhao instinctively felt it wasn't a good thing, and sure enough, the next second, she heard her say something.
"I heard that Commander Gu refused to live in the family dormitory. That's great!"
If you don't need it, you can give us your spot in the staff dormitory.
Jin Mandong's family of more than ten people are crammed into this house, which is really too cramped.
Gu Yunduan had told her about this before, and it was Ye Zhaozhao's idea to live in the family compound.
However, she wasn't very clear about the details of this quota, and she believed that the military region would be fair and just, so Ye Zhaozhao declined.
"You should apply to the military region leaders for this."
Upon hearing Ye Zhaozhao's refusal, Jin Mandong's face immediately fell, and she looked at the sugar cake in her hand.
She couldn't bear to return it, thinking that Ye Zhaozhao, being new, would be easy to manipulate.
That's why I spoke to her, but I didn't expect her to be so disrespectful. She wouldn't dare say something like asking the boss for help.
This house is enough for their family.
The reason for the crowding was her personal reason; Sun Xiuhua disapproved of Jin Mandong's actions.
If you want to live in the staff dormitory, go talk to the leader yourself.
What are we talking about here? After delivering the items, he took Ye Zhaozhao's hand and walked back.
Although she hadn't been there long, she knew a little about Jin Mandong.
