Liu Shu and Sun Xiuhua had never been exposed to foreign languages before, but they both studied very hard.
They also gave the two girls textbooks to take home and study.
When Ye Zhaozhao arrived at the school, a female teacher with whom she hadn't had much interaction before came over.
"Teacher Ye, I heard you're a military wife. Is your husband a brigade commander?"
Although she was smiling, Ye Zhaozhao didn't want to say anything more to her and just nodded.
Seeing that she nodded, the woman ignored her subconscious distance and moved a little closer.
"Teacher Ye, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch together. Today they have stewed eggplant and potatoes."
This eggplant and potato stew in the cafeteria is only available on Wednesdays, and it's even more popular than meat.
People's living standards have risen sharply, and they no longer crave meat every day like they used to.
"No need, I brought my own food."
Ye Zhaozhao refused, and Jia Jing wanted to say something more, but Jiangsu Su came over.
"Teacher Jia, class is about to start, aren't you going?"
"Go, go, I'll go right now."
Jia Jing left, and Ye Zhaozhao knew that Jiangsu Su was intentionally helping her.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. This Teacher Jia doesn't do things without a reason. She's targeting you because she definitely wants to get something out of you."
After hearing what Su from Jiangsu said, the others nodded in agreement, agreeing that it was indeed true.
She had just refused in the morning, but Teacher Jia came over again in the afternoon, this time bringing Ye Zhaozhao some pastries.
"Teacher Ye, these are made by a pastry shop near my home. There's always a line to buy their pastries every day. You should try them."
"No need, I'm not very hungry right now."
Seeing that Ye Zhaozhao was unyielding, Jia Jing wasn't angry. She thought that it was normal for her to be a bit aloof, as she was the wife of a brigade commander.
"Teacher Ye, I just wanted to ask you, what are the requirements for recruiting soldiers in your army?"
Jia Jing has a nephew who has been staying at home doing nothing for two or three years and has been trying to find a job through her connections.
She never found him. She overheard other teachers saying that Ye Zhaozhao's husband was a brigade commander.
Joining the army is good, so she wanted her nephew to join the army. But given his appearance, going through the proper channels would definitely not work.
So she wanted Ye Zhaozhao's man to pull some strings for them. Jia Jing was afraid that Ye Zhaozhao would refuse, so she added another sentence.
"We're willing to spend some money."
Jia Jing thought that since they were all working together, she should definitely give Ye Zhaozhao face.
Then Ye Zhaozhao looked troubled and said to Jia Jing.
I never interfere in my man's affairs, and besides, he wouldn't listen to me anyway.
If he knew I had agreed to your request so rashly, he would probably be upset with me.
"What's wrong? Is your man treating you badly?"
Jia Jing had forgotten that she was asking about joining the army and looked at Ye Zhaozhao with curiosity.
Ye Zhaozhao saw the undisguised desire to see her make a fool of herself in her eyes, and instantly lost all goodwill towards her.
No one wanted to talk to her anymore. Teacher Jia didn't care; she was now certain that Ye Zhaozhao's man was treating her badly.
I heard before that her man even came to pick her up from school; it seems like he just wanted to save face.
Although her nephew's matter was not resolved, she was overjoyed to see Ye Zhaozhao make a fool of herself.
Seeing her like this, the people in the office looked down on her.
This kind of person can't stand seeing others doing better than them.
After getting off work, Jia Jing returned home, and her mother urged her to get back to work.
"Tell me, have you taken care of your nephew's matter yet?"
"Mom, I found out the wrong information before. Although her husband is a brigade commander, he treats her badly and apparently beats her."
At this moment, Jia Jing's vanity was satisfied; ever since Ye Zhaozhao went to the school, she had become an excellent teacher.
This made her very resentful. No matter how glamorous she seemed on the surface, how could she possibly be happy marrying a man who beat her?
Even though her husband isn't a brigade commander, at least he doesn't hit people.
"Then what about your nephew's matter?"
"Let's think of another way."
Ye Zhaozhao didn't care what Jia Jing thought and went back to the family compound after get off work.
Sister Liu is frying mushrooms for the children in the kitchen. These mushrooms were picked by Bian Zhaoyue from the mountain.
The children especially love fried mushrooms; they think they taste even better than meat.
Each person's face was filled with anticipation as they waited for Sister Liu to bring out the fried mushrooms.
The children couldn't wait any longer; Da Wu and Xiao Wu were practically drooling.
Ye Zhaozhao wanted to try but was worried about getting burned. Seeing the children waiting patiently, she decided to leave them alone.
Once the mushrooms had cooled down, the children started eating them, each one looking completely satisfied.
At this moment, a girl appeared at the gate of the courtyard. She was wearing the same clothes as Meng Xi, and also had the same style of leather shoes.
However, Meng Xi is particularly clean; her clothes and shoes are always spotless.
The girl's clothes were dirty, and her shoes were black. The girl didn't care about Ye Zhaozhao.
Seeing them eating mushrooms, I went over and snatched the plate away.
She stuffed a mouthful of mushrooms, but that wasn't enough; she put the mushrooms in her pocket. The mushrooms were still oily after frying.
She just stuffed it into her pocket like that. Her clothes were so dirty, you can imagine that her pockets weren't clean either.
Ye Zhaozhao and Sister Liu were both frowning as they watched. Da Wu and Xiao Wu were looking at the girl after the mushrooms were snatched away.
"Who are you? What right do you have to steal our mushrooms?"
"Auntie, how could you take all the mushrooms? You should apologize to everyone right now!"
Meng Xi said in a serious tone that her mother had taught her that good friends should share with each other and not keep things to themselves.
"You still remember I'm your aunt? I'm older than all of you, shouldn't I be allowed to eat more mushrooms?"
Seeing her like this, everyone thought she was unreasonable.
