"Qianxue, the child is crying, quickly comfort him."
...
Ye Zhaozhao spent two days finally finishing knitting the vest. It was her first time knitting, so she was a little slow. She was thinking of having Gu Yunduan try it on when she got back in the afternoon.
When Gu Yunduan returned in the afternoon, he said he had to go on a mission. Ye Zhaozhao pretended to be calm. She knew that this was their job and mission. She packed a few clothes and some dried meat for him.
The jerky was ready, and Gu Yunduan would often nibble on one when he had nothing else to do. Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Yunduan told Ye Zhaozhao to wait for him and then left.
As soon as Gu Yunduan left, Sun Xiuhua arrived. Seeing Ye Zhaozhao's red eyes, she knew that Ye Zhaozhao was feeling unwell. The two talked for a while.
Sun's sister-in-law said that when she first joined the army, she couldn't accept Zhou Dawu going on missions. But after several years with him, her child is now five years old, and she has gradually gotten used to it.
But she still felt uneasy. Only the military wives could understand the difficulties involved. With Sister-in-law Sun's encouragement, Ye Zhaozhao was no longer sad.
After dinner, Ye Zhaozhao took a shower and went to bed. Unexpectedly, she couldn't sleep. She didn't feel anything when Gu Yunduan was around, but now that he was gone, she suddenly felt empty inside.
Ye Zhaozhao didn't fall asleep until late at night. In the morning, Sun Xiuhua came to wake her up and asked if she wanted to go to the market, which was in the village.
The villagers bring out their own things to sell, and the military wives will buy whatever they need. This only happens twice a year, the next time being before the Lunar New Year.
Ye Zhaozhao took the money and tickets, then carried her basket and went there. It was her first time seeing such a market, and she was curious about everything.
"Zhaozhao, I need to buy a duck so I can stew it for Zhou Dawu when he comes back from his mission."
Ye Zhaozhao felt that Sun Xiuhua was really good to her man. Ye Zhaozhao thought she should also nourish Gu Yunduan, so she bought a duck. The two of them carried the duck on the road.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Ye Qianxue. Ye Qianxue was holding one child in her arms and had two others with her. She looked haggard and much older than before.
Seeing Ye Zhaozhao, Ye Qianxue felt jealous, especially because of her face, which never tanned no matter how much sun she got. Ye Qianxue had already tanned several shades darker, while Ye Zhaozhao remained so fair.
Just as she was about to lose her temper, she remembered that Gu Yunduan, whom she had married, was infertile and died young, and she instantly felt relieved. She grabbed the children, turned around, and left, with Sun Xiuhua muttering a complaint.
"It's really tiring to raise three kids by herself. I don't know what she was thinking. What was she thinking, becoming a stepmother?"
Ye Zhaozhao agreed with Sun Xiuhua's words. Everyone said that Ye Qianxue doted on her three children, but she felt that some things were not good if they went too far. There is some truth to the saying that a doting mother spoils her children.
Upon seeing Ye Qianxue, Ye Zhaozhao suddenly remembered what she had said about Gu Yunduan dying early. Could it be, no, it definitely couldn't be. Suppressing her thoughts, she continued browsing.
By the end of the day, Ye Zhaozhao had bought quite a lot of things: vermicelli, cotton, sweet potato starch, and dried sweet potatoes. Once she felt she had bought enough, she went home with Sun Xiuhua.
When she got home, Gu Yunduan wasn't there. She went to the mall and got a bowl of snail rice noodles and a cup of cola. She could indulge herself tonight.
She doesn't usually use the system, for fear of being discovered. Gu Yunduan is a soldier, so she has to be even more careful.
"Host, we've reached the level required for leveling up. Do you want to level up?"
Ye Zhaozhao took a closer look. The points were earned by helping everyone improve their meals and hunting wild boars. After leveling up, she could unlock the next area.
She was a little curious about what would be unlocked next.
"want."
"Upgrade successful. It can be used normally immediately."
Ye Zhaozhao couldn't wait to open the system...
