When he arrived, he saw Chu Aili sitting on the ground, looking frightened.
Standing nearby were several military wives and an old bachelor who had been subdued.
"Old Huang, you're here. Quickly take your wife back."
Chu Aili thought it was him who came, but she didn't expect it to be an old bachelor.
If it weren't for her long-term understanding of her husband, which led her to discover the signs and shout for help in time, the consequences today would have been unimaginable.
What are you doing here?
He hadn't seen Chu Aili clearly because she was being blocked, but when he finally saw what she was wearing, his face involuntarily darkened.
Why are you dressed like that?
Looking at the gazes around him, Lao Huang felt that this woman was going to embarrass him.
Seeing his expression, Chu Aili dared not speak. She couldn't very well say that she dressed like that to win him over.
Old Huang angrily took Chu Aili away. As for the old bachelor, he dared to lay a hand on a military wife.
Punishment was inevitable, and Lao Huang ignored Chu Aili after returning home.
The news spread the next day that Chu Aili had gone to the grove dressed like that.
When Bian Zhaoyue and Lu Shiyun came to find Ye Zhaozhao, they described the scene to her.
"I don't know what Chu Aili was thinking, dressing like that so late at night, no wonder she's being targeted by old bachelors."
"Now she's completely too ashamed to face anyone."
Ye Zhaozhao thought it was great that Chu Aili didn't come out, through contact.
She knew that Chu Aili was a troublemaker, and that they could have some peace and quiet if she didn't come out.
Time flies, and the New Year is just around the corner. Bian Zhaoyue is the women's director of the family compound.
Once the task is assigned, everyone is gathered together for a meeting.
Ye Zhaozhao then realized that the camp was decorated every year, with "Fu" characters, Spring Festival couplets, and lanterns.
These tasks were all completed by the wives of military personnel.
As for the military personnel, they were responsible for cleaning the military area.
Early in the morning, Bian Zhaoyue called everyone to go to the camp, and Chu Aili followed at the back of the group.
As soon as they arrived at the camp, everyone got busy. Chu Aili took out a calligraphy brush.
Ye Zhaozhao saw that she was going to write the character "福" (fu, meaning good fortune). The character "福" and the Spring Festival couplets were written by her and another military wife.
Chu Aili was confident; she had been writing for so many years, but when she finished and showed it to everyone...
Everyone expressed their disapproval.
"Chu Aili, is this supposed to be a 'Fu' character? It looks awful! Can we even put this up?"
In contrast, another military wife who wrote Spring Festival couplets had beautiful handwriting, making Chu Aili feel guilty as she touched her head.
She hadn't practiced in a long time, but relying on the fact that only she knew how to write, she spoke loudly.
"This is what the character '福' (fortune) looks like. Do you even understand it?"
"Chu Aili, do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
Some military wives couldn't stand it anymore and, unafraid of offending her, told the truth.
Chu Aili glanced down at her own writing, which was indeed crooked and messy, just like her son's homework.
"I didn't write it well at first, wait for me to get used to it."
Although everyone disapproves of it, there's no one else here who would write it besides her.
Everyone just treated it as practice, and luckily we bought enough red paper.
Just half an hour later, she wrote many more, each one uglier than the last.
Bian Zhaoyue couldn't bear to let her write it; this red paper was money.
"Do any of you still know how to write the character '福' (fu, meaning good fortune)?"
Bian Zhaoyue asked, but no one answered. Chu Aili was extremely pleased with herself.
See, see, even if she doesn't write well, they can't find anyone else to write like her.
"Sister-in-law Bian, just use mine, mine is very well written."
Although no one said anything, their expressions showed their disdain, just as Chu Aili was feeling smug.
Ye Zhaozhao came over with a pair of scissors, and no one knew what she was going to do.
She took a piece of red paper and made a few cuts on it.
A "福" (good fortune) character appeared, and Bian Zhaoyue's eyes widened immediately upon seeing it.
"Comrade Ye, your skills are amazing."
"Yes, I've never seen paper cutting like this before."
"It looks so good, I want to put it up right now."
Seeing everyone praising Ye Zhaozhao, Chu Aili felt a little unconvinced, but then she looked at the "Fu" character in Ye Zhaozhao's hand.
I have to admit, it's really good-looking.
With Ye Zhaozhao's paper-cutting skills, Chu Aili was no longer needed and was assigned to other tasks.
Chu Aili had no choice but to go reluctantly. She pricked her hands several times while making lanterns and was disliked by the other military wives.
By the time everyone finished their work, it was already afternoon, and just then, a soldier came to tell everyone to go and distribute the meat.
The camp also distributes pork during the Lunar New Year, so everyone lined up.
Ye Zhaozhao was in line when suddenly a woman behind her spoke, pointing to the man in front of her.
"Comrade, that's my man. Could you switch places with me?"
Because all the couples who came today stood together, but she was a step too slow.
Ye Zhaozhao got there first, and she glanced at her.
"cannot."
Since it was agreed that we would queue, we should respect the rules. The woman thought she had misheard.
Seeing that Ye Zhaozhao had repeated herself, afraid that she hadn't understood.
"I said, the guy in front of you is my man, shall we switch seats?"
"No, that won't work."
The woman got angry when Ye Zhaozhao rejected her and immediately confronted her.
It's just a change of seats, right? Even the man in front of her turned around.
"Sister-in-law, that's my wife. Please move to another spot so you won't get in the way of getting the meat."
The woman thought that since the two of them had said so, Ye Zhaozhao should agree now.
