Chapter 152: Damn, it seems like someone kicked me
Not long after getting on the car, Wang Ziru filtered several military wives sitting opposite her one by one.
In Wang Ziru's eyes, these are just small characters who are not even as good as small shrimps.
Seeing the provocative tone of the woman who was regarded as the boss, Wang Ziru said slowly: "Why? You guys can't even do needlework, right?"
The interior of the car was pitch black, but the bright light of the Dongfeng car's headlights shone through a glass window at the rear of the cab.
The originally dark carriage was now a little brighter, and the facial features of the military wives sitting opposite could be more or less clearly seen.
"Needlework?" Li Juan was stunned, then she exchanged a glance with the military wives surrounding her on both sides and chuckled, "So when she said sewing wounds, she actually meant mending clothes, haha."
Wang Ziru's serious answer made the women laugh.
There were more than twenty soldiers sitting in the carriage, sharing a carriage with the soldiers' wives. The soldiers were really enlightened.
It was not yet time to go to bed, and the young warrior looked from time to time at the wives of soldiers sitting close to the front of the car, with envy and jealousy in his eyes.
Li Juan pursed her lips with a look of disdain: "What about her? Could she happen to know a little sewing?"
"Hahaha…"
The military wives sitting on both sides of Li Juan burst into laughter.
Zhu Yan bit her lips tightly, feeling extremely embarrassed. She had never expected that the women in this military family compound were so powerful.
When it comes to intrigue, the women in ten villages are far from being as good as you. Just one sentence from her can make you speechless.
"How about you guys? It's not possible that you can't even do needlework?" Wang Ziru was worried about her uncle and the young man who stayed in the family compound, but the laughter of these military wives washed away her worries. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at the four women opposite her.
Li Juan sat cross-legged in the middle and smiled faintly, "If the women in our courtyard only knew this, they would not be able to survive in the courtyard, and would run back to their hometown in the countryside within a week."
After a pause, she said with the attitude of a deputy wife who was reluctant to meet a subordinate, "My name is Li Juan, and my husband has been a company commander for six years."
"A man can be a company commander for six years. It seems that your man is a person who has no ambition to make progress." Wang Ziru tugged at her sleeves and said indifferently.
Li Juan was so angry that her mouth trembled. She sat up straight from the rain cover and sneered, "How can you, a country bumpkin, know what it means to be a company commander for six years? It proves that my man is a hard worker."
"You're right. If he doesn't work hard and is lazy, he won't be able to keep his position as company commander."
"you…"
Li Juan had never been ridiculed like this before, and her chest was heaving with anger.
Huang Chunmei, who was sitting on the far left of Li Juan, took out a small mirror and a small comb from somewhere, and continued to comb her hair while sitting in the dark carriage.
The oval face was relatively clean, with a tuft of small curls on the forehead and a bunch of long hair tied into a big braid at the back of the head, but the braid was tied with a hair tie in the middle, and the braid was deliberately left with long wavy curls.
It looks quite awkward. I wonder what the appreciation level of the hairdresser who designed this hairstyle for her is.
"What time is it? You still have the heart to look in the mirror?"
After being growled at by Li Juan, Huang Chunmei put away the mirror and small comb in dismay, and smiled faintly, "Sister Juan, we are just two country bumpkins, and you are so angry. Look at the three of us sisters, we should look in the mirror when we should, and eat when we should."
Then, Huang Chunmei tilted her head and looked at the two military wives, Song Ling and Lin Xiaowan, who were sitting on the right side of Li Juan.
"You guys brought some food, so give it to us as a midnight snack later."
Song Ling had her hair curled into shoulder-length curls, which made her look quite fashionable. She stroked the headband on her head and waved her hands.
With her personality as a rich girl who is afraid of getting her hands dirty while working, why would she bring food from home? She would rather let her man get meals from the army canteen for every meal.
She poked Lin Xiaowan with her finger, "She loves eating the most! Just ask her."
"Lin Xiaowan, what dishes did you bring today?"
Lin Xiaowan held a picture book she bought for her son in her hand, raised her round face that was very recognizable as Deng Gexing, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid a box of wild mushrooms is not enough for so many people."
"There are only four of us eating. Are you planning to treat those two country bumpkins for a midnight snack? Lin Xiaowan, when did you become so generous?" Huang Chunmei said unhappily.
Lin Xiaowan, who always knew how to gather herself together in a large compound like the one at home, looked at the two young wives opposite her and smiled in passing.
I didn't greet them on purpose.
But he did not verbally attack the two new military wives.
"This Lin Xiaowan is quite interesting." Wang Ziru said in her heart.
Wang Ziru and Zhu Yan are both from the same hometown. This is their first time in the army and they are temporarily assigned to serve as battlefield health workers.
After getting on the bus, without their respective men to look after them, the two of them sat quietly in the compartment next to the front of the bus and did not speak to each other.
On the other hand, the four military wives on the opposite side started chattering non-stop as soon as they got in the car.
This scene had already been heard clearly by Officer Zhang.
Officer Zhang was sitting in the front driver's seat. He could vaguely hear the wives of military officers in the back car chattering away. He opened the small window and said in a stern voice, "You wives of military officers don't understand the military travel discipline. You even forgot the discipline propaganda before departure?!"
The leading military wife, Li Juan, relied on the fact that her husband was a company commander and did not take a mere clerk in the regiment seriously at all.
She acted like a wife of an official, and glared at the middle-aged man who turned his head and glared at them from the driver's seat. "Manager Zhang, can't you mind your own business? I asked, this train has to run all night, isn't it uncomfortable for us to sit in the carriage?"
"If you are afraid of suffering and pain, I can send you back to enjoy happiness."
Li Juan's face fell immediately after hearing this. She shut her mouth obediently and leaned lazily against the rain shelter.
As far as the eye can see, his eyes met with Wang Ziru's across from him.
The other person had no intention of averting his gaze. Instead, he stared at her coldly and with a hint of sarcasm.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a woman as beautiful as me?" Li Juan sneered.
Zhu Yan was frightened by the other party's momentum and was afraid that several women would start quarreling in the carriage.
Wang Ziru did the chest expansion exercise smoothly, not paying any attention to the other person. "We have been sitting in the car for several days, and I couldn't sleep. My body is almost falling apart. You are sitting opposite me, and I can't look at anything else except the opposite side."
The small window opened again.
Just when the soldiers' wives were getting anxious, they thought that Officer Zhang was going to scold them again.
But I heard Zhang say very considerately: "Comrade Ziru, if you and Comrade Zhu Yan are tired, you can lie down and rest..."
"Can we really lie down and rest?" Wang Ziru's eyes lit up. They had traveled through mountains and rivers to get to the unit and hadn't slept on a bed for several days. They were already extremely sleepy and their bodies were almost falling apart.
Zhang, the officer, said with a gentle look of concern for his subordinates, "I know you haven't slept for several days. You will have to take the lead there. If you feel tired, lie down and take a nap."
"Thank you for your understanding, we haven't slept for a few days. Let's take a nap first. Please call us when we arrive."
Inside the carriage, everyone else looked stunned and no one had reacted yet.
Wang Ziru and Zhu Yan had already haphazardly unpacked the packing ropes, taken down the outermost layer of sheets and spread them over where they were sitting.
Several warriors nearby quickly made way and crawled to sit in the middle of the aisle.
Wang Ziru is very good at sleeping on the floor. In her previous life, she was so sleepy that she could sleep on the floor in the operating room.
What's more, they now have two quilts.
Spread one quilt and keep the other to cover yourself.
The two of them lifted up the quilt for each other, took off their thick cotton clothes, and then lay down in the quilt, lying flat on their backs and falling into a deep sleep.
Seeing Wang Ziru and Zhu Yan lying down to sleep, the other military wives could only take a nap leaning against the cold car railings, their faces turning from shock to anger.
"Why can they sleep lying down while we can only take a nap sitting down?! I won't do that!" Li Juan wanted to follow their example immediately.
The other military wives looked around, and Huang Chunmei sighed, "Sister Juan, we don't have that much space."
"You bastard! You just arrived at the army and you're trying to trick me."
Gradually, except for Lin Xiaowan, everyone's face showed anger.
Li Juan was so angry that she kicked the quilt at her feet.
Wang Ziru had already fallen asleep at this time, but she felt like she was kicked in her dream. She mumbled, "I'll deal with you when I wake up."
…
Troops, family compound.
I had just arrived and it was a completely unfamiliar large compound.
Zhai Qingsong didn't dare to take the little guy out for a walk.
I just took Baoer to the men's restroom, relieved myself, went back to wash my face with cold water, and then carried the child to the bed in the small bedroom. "Go to sleep. We will go to town to buy some food to cook tomorrow."
"Uncle, I want my mom to hold me while I sleep." The little guy was thrown onto the bed by his uncle. He rolled over and sat up again, saying with a wrinkled face.
Zhai Qingsong had never taken care of a child to sleep before, so he didn't know how to put a child to sleep at night.
He turned off the lights, took off his clothes, climbed onto the bed, and forcibly pulled the little guy into the quilt.
"I still can't sleep, what should I do, uncle?"
In the darkness, Zhai Qingsong smiled, but he suppressed his smile and said, "Close your eyes first, and you will fall asleep soon."
During these days, while on the road, the child slept in his mother's arms for a while and then lay on his father's chest for a while, so for him, it was all high-quality sleep.
But adults' bodies are not made of iron. After not touching the bed for several days, Zhai Qingsong could hardly close his eyes once he lay down in the quilt.
"Uncle, shall we have egg noodles tomorrow morning?" The boy has already started to think about what to eat tomorrow morning.
Zhai Qingsong was half asleep. "Without fire, we can't cook noodles. Besides, we have to go to the town to buy food and a stove for cooking. I think we also need to buy beehive coal..."
"So should we take a bus to town or walk? Uncle, I'm hungry now and want to eat egg noodles. What should I do?"
"Everyone is asleep now, let's go too." Feeling that the little guy had crawled out of the quilt again like a loach, Zhai Qingsong casually touched the child's small body in autumn clothes and pulled him back into the quilt.
"Wow! Uncle is bullying me. I want to eat egg noodles..."
Suddenly, a child next door cried loudly. Zhao Cuilan packed her son's schoolbag and pouted, "A grown man doesn't go out to work and earn money, but can only stay at home to take care of the children. It seems that he is just a good-for-nothing! You must take good care of my things tomorrow, don't let him steal them."
