Chapter 27: One Third-Class Merit and One First-Class Merit
Jiang Tang hid the money carefully in the room and looked at the newly delivered wardrobe and bed. They were indeed carefully selected and the quality was much better than before.
I rearranged the room, put on the national bed sheet with peony flowers, placed two pillows side by side, two pillowcases, and smoothed out the wrinkles. Now it was clean and comfortable.
In addition, Liang Kailai not only gave a bed and a wardrobe, but also the clothes and supplies that Fu Sinian had left in the army office.
Fu Sinian didn't have many things. In total, he only had a few sets of military uniforms and a few military books. His things were very few. He usually wore training clothes for military exercises.
These clothes were neatly placed in the closet, next to Jiang Tang's clothes.
Thinking of Fu Sinian's good figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his perfect clothes hanger, I should buy him a few more clothes. The military uniform looks good, and the suit looks good too. It's a complete uniform temptation.
When Jiang Tang was tidying up the house, he could hear laughter coming from the yard. It was Chaochao and Yueyue playing in the yard.
She wiped her hands, went out to take a look, and was suddenly dazzled by a beam of bright light.
Jiang Tang quickly closed his eyes, raised his hands to cover them, and then slowly opened his eyes, and found that the light was reflected from the palms of Chaochao and Yueyue.
"Chao Chao, Yue Yue, what are you playing?"
As soon as the two cubs heard Jiang Tang's voice, they immediately turned around and surrounded Jiang Tang.
Chaochao and Yueyue each held something like a five-pointed star in their hands and raised their hands together to hand it to Jiang Tang.
"Mom, look, this is from Dad. Dad said it's a gift."
"It's specially given to Yueyue!"
Yueyue emphasized her voice in a babyish tone, with a look of pride on her face.
Jiang Tang looked down, and her bright eyes were stunned.
She originally thought it was some metal five-pointed star that Fu Sinian had casually given to the children to play with, but when she looked closely, she realized that the gift was so heavy.
Because, that is a military medal.
Chaochao’s was a third-class merit, and Yueyue’s was a first-class merit.
He was awarded first-class merit and is still alive.
Jiang Tang couldn't bear to think about how Fu Sinian had risked his life and what dangerous missions he had completed to receive the medal of first-class individual merit. That was definitely a brilliant moment in his military career.
He actually gave this medal, which best proved his merits, to Chaochao and Yueyue so casually. The two children held it in their hands like a toy.
Because it sparkles in the sun, they use it to refract sunlight.
And the mission bonus that Fu Sinian earned at the risk of his life... was ruthlessly squandered by the original owner.
Even though Jiang Tang was not the original owner, she suddenly felt that the three of them, mother and son, were really sorry for Fu Sinian.
Chao Chao keenly sensed that Jiang Tang's reaction was not right, "Mom, is this something important?"
Jiang Tang nodded. "These are very, very important things. Dad risked his life to earn them. They are like Chao Chao and Yue Yue. You are Dad's most precious children. These two medals are also Dad's treasures. I can't just play with them casually. Let's put them away, okay?"
When Chao Chao heard that this was something her father had paid for with his life, she quickly let go and handed it to Jiang Tang, "Chao Chao, listen to your mother."
Yueyue likes shiny things, and she is reluctant to let go of the medal with her little hands.
It's so shiny and beautiful~
The little girl pouted, reluctant to part with it, but finally handed it to Jiang Tang and said softly, "Yueyue also listens to her mother."
"You're so good." Jiang Tang patted their heads and praised them. "You'll be allowed to have two candies as a reward tomorrow."
When she heard that there was a reward, Yueyue immediately became happy and smiled cheerfully.
She counted on her fingers and said to Chao Chao, "Brother, did you hear that? We can have two candies tomorrow, two for Yueyue and two for brother, which makes... four candies."
"If Dad has two and Mom has two, then we...we..."
In the process of increasing from four to eight, Yueyue’s little fingers were not enough.
Chao Chao said immediately, "There are four people in our family. Two candies per person means four times two, which is eight."
Yueyue opened her mouth in amazement, "Wow...Brother is so awesome. Brother, if each of us has four candies, how many candies will that be?"
"Four candies per person, sixteen candies in total."
"Ten...ten...pomegranates...?"
When Yueyue mentioned candy, her mouth was wet with saliva. It was difficult for her to pronounce the "shi" sound with saliva in her mouth, and her saliva was about to flow down as she spoke.
Jiang Tang was amused by what he saw. He quickly put the medal in his pocket and used a handkerchief to wipe Yueyue's saliva.
At this moment, a passionate and hearty voice was heard.
"Hey, this is Captain Fu's son? He's only five or six years old, and he can even solve such a difficult arithmetic problem. What will happen to him when he grows up?"
As the voices were spoken, a woman in her early thirties, with a signature short hair and a mole at the end of her right eyebrow, walked into Jiang Tang's yard.
She had a bright smile on her face and was still greeting people warmly, "I came here uninvited, you won't kick me out, right?"
Jiang Tang looked at the person who came, and after seeing the other person's appearance and tone of voice, he quickly matched them with the character in the original text.
This person is called Zhao Xiumei, and her husband is the company commander of the seventh company, Zhao Weiguo. Both of them are from Northeast China, have very generous personalities, and are young couples from the same village, and have a very good relationship.
When Zhao Weicheng became a company commander and was qualified to allow his family to accompany him to the army, he immediately took Zhao Xiumei over.
This went on for ten years.
People from Northeast China are not used to the climate and diet in the southwest, but Zhao Xiumei persevered for the sake of their small family.
Zhao Weicheng's military rank was not high, and his status in the compound was not high either, but Zhao Xiumei was very popular in the compound because of her impetuous, righteous and straightforward character, and the sisters-in-law all loved to interact with her.
So Zhao Xiumei knows a lot of things and is a complete know-it-all in the compound.
When Jiang Tang read the original novel, he particularly liked Zhao Xiumei's bold personality and believed she was someone worth interacting with.
If there is any tragedy in Zhao Xiumei as a fictional character, it is that she gave birth to three daughters and never had a son, which is the biggest regret in her life.
Otherwise, how could we highlight the fact that the heroine gave birth to three boys?
"You are...Mrs. Zhao, right?" Jiang Tang's acting skills were on point, and his slight confusion was portrayed just right.
Zhao Xiumei was surprised, "You know me?"
"I don't know him. It's Ting Fu..." Jiang Tang paused, thinking it would sound too strange to call him by his full name. "My husband told me that the easiest person to get along with in the entire compound is Sister Zhao. He also said that there's nothing in the compound that Sister Zhao doesn't know. He told me to ask Sister Zhao for help if I encounter any difficulties. Sister Zhao is so kind-hearted that she will definitely help me."
After hearing these words, Zhao Xiumei was overjoyed.
To put it nicely, she is enthusiastic and righteous, but to put it bluntly, she is nosy. Her husband Zhao Weiguo dislikes her for visiting neighbors all day long and meddling in other people's affairs, even though he is the one being managed in the army.
I didn't expect to hear the recognition from Jiang Tang now.
Zhao Xiumei quickly stepped forward and asked curiously, "Did Captain Fu really say that to me?"
"Absolutely true." Jiang Tang's expression was extremely firm, and he didn't feel guilty at all.
Zhao Xiumei was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "Since Captain Fu said so, I will definitely take the responsibility. You..."
"Sister Zhao, my name is Jiang Tang, you can just call me Xiao Jiang."
"Xiao Jiang, you're new here, so there must be some things you're not used to or that are inconvenient. I live just a row behind yours, so if you need anything, you can come to me. Don't be afraid of trouble, I'll definitely be there whenever you call."
"Then I'll have to trouble Sister Zhao a lot in the future."
Zhao Xiumei finished her laughter and stared at Chao Chao and Yue Yue. "Look at these little faces, so pretty... They're five years old, right? This one is the little girl? How come they look the same? Are they twins, a boy and a girl?"
"They're twins, a boy and a girl." Jiang Tang introduced the two cubs. "This is the older brother, Fu Chaoyang, and the girl is the younger sister, Fu Chuyue. Their nicknames are Chaochao and Yueyue. They're five years old this year."
"They are really twins, a boy and a girl!" Zhao Xiumei's eyes widened when she heard this. She looked at Chaochao and Yueyue with joy, as if she wished they were her own children and wanted to steal them back.
It’s because these two children are so lovable.
Chaochao and Yueyue probably took after Jiang Tang. Normally, they were very wary of strangers, but when Zhao Xiumei looked at them, they obediently called out for help without any reminders.
"Hello, Aunt Zhao~"
