"Honey, don't worry, I've already spoken to them, Shuanzi won't be coming back."
Ye Zhaozhao understood what Gu Yunduan meant and nodded as she went to Sun Xiuhua's house to pick up the triplets.
When they arrived, the triplets were sitting quietly eating.
Upon seeing them arrive, Sun Xiuhua invited them to sit down and eat together. Zhou Dawu was still giving a mission report at the military region, and Gu Yunduan also had to go there.
Gu Yunduan left, and Ye Zhaozhao sat down with Tuantuan and Yuanyuan. Sun Xiuhua handed bowls and chopsticks to the three of them.
"Zhaozhao, is everything settled?"
"Okay, Sister-in-law Sun, thank you for taking care of the children for me during this time."
Ye Zhaozhao was truly grateful, but Sun Xiuhua shook her head, saying that if it weren't for Ye Zhaozhao...
She can't possibly earn money at a farm; she already has savings.
"I should be thanking you. You did pay me, so I have to take good care of you for the ten yuan."
Ye Zhaozhao knew that Sister-in-law Sun was joking. The two chatted casually, and Sun Xiuhua mentioned the family next door.
"Zhaozhao, let me tell you, the man next door is impotent."
Ye Zhaozhao was puzzled as to how Sun Xiuhua knew others were not good enough, and then Sun Xiuhua explained.
Because she heard that the man made a lot of noise every night.
Sun Xiuhua lives next door, so it's hard for her not to hear it. It must be this man.
All talk and no action, it always ended in three minutes, leaving Sun Xiuhua speechless.
One night would be fine, but doing it every day was unbearable for Sun Xiuhua; it was severely disrupting her rest.
When Zhou Dawu returns this time, she plans to make the wall thicker.
Ye Zhaozhao now understood why Sun Xiuhua had dark circles under her eyes. She had thought it was because she was too tired from taking care of the baby. After Sun Xiuhua finished speaking, she realized that the dark circles were caused by the baby.
She also mentioned seeing a colleague and a chef in the kitchen.
He openly touched her thigh and held her hand; the important point is that this woman and the chef were both married.
Both of them have families, and Sun Xiuhua just hopes that their wives and husbands will come and catch them cheating. She loves a good show, and once Sun Xiuhua starts talking about it, she can't stop.
They also talked a lot of gossip about the family compound, and after listening to them, Ye Zhaozhao felt like the world had exploded.
——
With fewer classes at school during this period, Ye Zhaozhao shuttled between the military region and the school.
When she didn't have classes, she lived in the military area. The results of Shuanzi's case came out.
On the surface, it was said that Shuanzi had run away, but in reality, he was sent by the Public Security Bureau to do hard labor in the Northwest.
It was because Gu Yunduan called the police.
The residents of the family compound asked their daughters and discovered that Shuanzi had made unwanted advances towards Yuanyuan as well.
He didn't even spare other girls.
He even promised other female classmates that they would get candy if they let him hug or kiss them. Luckily, the girls in the family compound didn't lack candy.
Otherwise, the consequences would be severe. Once everyone finds out, they will hate Shuanzi and Jin Mandong's family even more and support Gu Yunduan in calling the police.
That day, Ye Zhaozhao was still asleep when she heard a loud banging on the door. Without even thinking, she knew it was Sun Xiuhua coming over.
"Sister-in-law Sun, why are you up so early?"
On her hard-earned day off, Ye Zhaozhao really wanted to sleep until she naturally woke up. Sun Xiuhua didn't have time to explain much and only said one sentence.
"The supply and marketing cooperative is restocking today, and everyone is rushing to buy things."
Ye Zhaozhao had heard Sun Xiuhua say a few days earlier that, although it was Kyoto, the military region was like this.
The supply and marketing cooperative didn't have a complete range of goods; you had to fight to buy them.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhaozhao immediately sobered up and went back to the room to find the children still asleep.
He took the basket and followed Sun Xiuhua to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Before the two even got close, they saw a long queue at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Ye Zhaozhao thought to herself, it's not even five o'clock yet, this is too terrifying. The main problem is that the transportation is not well developed, and it is not easy to go to Kyoto.
Besides, they're all women, so even if they went, they wouldn't be able to buy much. The military region's supply and marketing cooperative is closer and more convenient.
The supply and marketing cooperative is open, and they still have pork today. The salesperson saw everyone scrambling for it and slammed his hand on the table.
"Don't fight over it, there's plenty of pork today, everyone gets some."
That's what they said, but no one let their guard down. Ye Zhaozhao felt like she was about to be squeezed into a meat patty. Luckily, she and Sister-in-law Sun arrived early.
They were standing right in the middle of the line, with a long line behind them, Ye Zhaozhao asked.
"Sister-in-law Sun, are all these military family members?"
"Not entirely, there are family compounds, family buildings, and people from various departments."
Ye Zhaozhao thought that everyone needed to eat, so it was Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua's turn.
Sun Xiuhua quickly selected the pork belly, which weighed thirty jin in total.
The two of them were to share 15 jin each. Sun Xiuhua knew it was first come, first served, so she didn't hesitate and went with Ye Zhaozhao to divide the meat.
After the meat was distributed, Sun Xiuhua wanted to buy some other things. Ye Zhaozhao always thought that once they got the meat, everyone would be free to fight over it. She didn't expect that rice, flour, and oil would also be a matter of fighting over.
"Excuse me, don't push! My child is missing."
Someone shouted, and when everyone heard that the child was missing, they forgot all about grabbing their things.
Everyone started looking for the woman's child; it seemed like everyone was helping to find the child.
The woman hurriedly bought meat from the salesperson, but after searching around, they still couldn't find the child.
Knowing that the woman did it on purpose, Sun Xiuhua immediately became angry.
"Who would joke like that?" Just as everyone was about to criticize the woman, she said...
"Isn't this my child?"
There was a cloth shoe lying in the corner, but no one bothered with her and continued to grab the things.
After the woman finished shopping, seeing that Sun Xiuhua and Ye Zhaozhao were about to leave, she spoke up.
"You're from the family compound too, right? Let's go together. My husband works in the logistics department. My name is Qin Xuehua."
