Chapter 350: Finally seeing her, Xia Yunshu's eyes were moist
The sentry was well aware of the comings and goings of the military wives in the Yu Family Compound. It was already noon, and the other military wives had already returned from the village, but they had not seen Wang Ziru return to the unit.
"My sister-in-law has been farming in a village near the army recently. If you want to find her, I can find someone to lead the way."
The sentry was very enthusiastic. He not only told them that his sister-in-law was farming in a village near the army unit, but also called another soldier who was taking a lunch break to lead them to the village to find Wang Ziru.
Boss Duan Yanfei was very unhappy. He had come all the way here, but it was fine if he didn't see Han Suijing, but what was there for him to meet Wang Ziru?
Unable to see Han Suijing, she just wanted to see her little sister Zhou Zijiao.
She had long wanted to see with her own eyes what Zhou Zijiao looked like after being tortured by training in the special forces.
Han Dixing saw the impatient look on his fiancée's face. He turned his head to glance at Xia Yunshu. The girl remained silent and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Yan Fei, if you want to find Zhou Zijiao, go to the female soldiers' dormitory to find her first." Han Dixing glanced at Xia Yunshu who was looking around, "You two come together, I'll go to the village to find my second sister-in-law."
Duan Yanfei's brows were deeply wrinkled.
Xia Yunshu was stunned for a moment, and then his heart started beating rapidly. He was about to see her!
What should she say when she sees the woman who replaced her?
"Forget it, forget it, now that we're here, I'd better go to the village with you." Duan Yanfei fanned the wind from his face impatiently, even though the troops could not feel the summer heat at all.
Kunming City has spring-like weather all year round. Even in the summer, it doesn’t feel hot at all in the deep mountains.
A young soldier led them out of the army, walked along the road for half a minute, turned into a mountain path, wound through a dense forest, and after about ten minutes, they walked into a valley.
The hillside that was originally covered with wild grass has now been divided into rows of fields. Several farmers wearing straw hats are watering and sowing vegetable seeds on the reclaimed wasteland.
Recently, since Han Suijing moved to the special forces with his wife and children, almost all the soldiers have heard that Han Bingtuan’s wife has summoned the wives of the soldiers in the family compound to go to the village to farm.
"I think your second sister-in-law just doesn't know how to enjoy her blessings. Since she's married to Han Suijing, wouldn't it be better for her to stay at home and cook and wash clothes while waiting for her husband to come home from get off work? She's just like the other women in the village, working hard in the village, and she doesn't even mind bringing shame to Han Suijing." Duan Yanfei couldn't help muttering.
"My second sister-in-law likes to grow some vegetables herself, and we should respect her choice." Han Dixing smiled gently.
The young soldier turned around and smiled: "I heard that my sister-in-law wants to grow vegetables to sell to the troops."
"How much can this be sold for? If you really want to make money, you might as well make a lot of money with my uncle." Duan Yanfei curled his lips, looking down on the little money for vegetables in the village.
The young warrior turned around and smiled. Although he didn't know the girl's identity, he could guess that her family background was not ordinary.
Enthusiastically introducing the situation of the village to them, "There is only one family named Yang living in the valley here, an old couple. You have to go through the valley and go to the other side of the mountain to see the densely populated village."
"Usually, my sister-in-law and the military wives would stop by Yang's house to rest after getting tired from work."
Han Dixing inexplicably felt a little more respect for his second sister-in-law. He looked at the barren slope that had just been reclaimed in the valley, which was quite large.
There were a lot of wilted weeds piled up on the roadside. Having grown up in the city, he knew that these weeds had only been cleared from the ground recently.
Although farming is hard work, you can also experience the joy of harvest.
The group walked into the village, but there was no sign of Wang Ziru.
"Don't worry, my sister-in-law is probably still resting at Yang's house. I'll ask the fellow villagers working on the opposite slope." The little warrior comforted a few anxious young people and shouted loudly towards the other side of the hill: "Hey! Fellow villagers, is my sister-in-law Ziru in the village?"
Several farmers working on the opposite slope raised their heads and looked at them.
"Comrade Ziru is having lunch at Yang's house."
Little Warrior: "Okay."
"Let's go. My sister-in-law is still in the village." The little warrior led them with a smile and continued walking towards the Yang family courtyard dam in the valley ahead.
Old Man Yang saw from a distance a group of people entering the village and walking towards their home.
He was collecting corn cobs from his backpack in the yard, and turned around to stare blankly at the group of people walking to the edge of his yard. Then he smiled and asked, "Little warrior, who are you looking for?"
"Master! We are from the army. We came to the village specifically to look for Sister Ziru. Is she at your house?"
Old man Yang was stunned, and a kind smile appeared on his slightly dark face. "Yes, Ziru said that the father and son of the Han Corps returned to Kun City for work today, and she was alone in the army. She stayed at our house for lunch at noon."
"Oh! It's good that sister-in-law is here. They are all sister-in-law's relatives and have come to the village specifically to find her." The little warrior walked into the courtyard, stretched his neck and looked towards the main room with a smile.
The three people who followed him into the village walked into the courtyard one after another.
A pleasant aroma of food wafted out of the main room, and there were two enamel plates on the dining table.
Duan Yanfei sniffed hard, "It seems that Wang Ziru is doing well in the village. She can even have lunch at a fellow villager's house at noon."
"My second sister-in-law has always been good at dealing with people and doing things. This matter is not difficult for her." Han Dixing still smiled good-temperedly.
Only Xia Yunshu's heart was beating fast, he had never been so worried before.
When Old Man Yang heard that these well-dressed young people were Wang Ziru's relatives, he quickly stood up, brushed off the corn silk stuck on his clothes, and warmly invited them to sit inside.
Inside the courtyard, several pairs of eyes were looking around curiously, and then a sweet song was heard coming from the stove room. Wang Ziru came out with an apron on her chest and a plate of food in her hands.
I inadvertently glanced at the courtyard outside and unexpectedly saw Han Dixing and Duan Yanfei.
Wang Ziru stopped humming the sweet song and called out in a sweet voice, "Duan Yanfei! Why did you bring Han Dixing to the army?!"
"Humph, you're allowed to move to the army and enjoy life, but we're not allowed to come over and have fun?"
Duan Yanfei was originally full of complaints, but when she saw with her own eyes that Wang Ziru was not only not working hard, but was also living so leisurely in the village, her pretty face wrinkled, and she walked into the main hall with a fierce momentum, dragging the steps of the Duan family without recognizing any relatives.
Later, Han Dixing turned around and thanked the little warrior.
He waved and watched the young warrior leave the village and return to his unit. When he turned around, he noticed Xia Yunshu standing there in a daze.
He reminded softly, "Yunshu, let's go inside and sit for a while."
Wang Ziru placed a plate of stir-fried corn kernels with diced chili peppers on the square table, rubbed her palms on her apron, and said teasingly, "Oh! You came here with great difficulty, but you got nothing. Han Dixing, I wonder if your second brother went back to Kun City this morning?"
"We didn't plan to come to the special forces beforehand. It's just that Yan Fei had a holiday these two days, and Xia Yunshu happened to come to Kun City to play, so we came together to visit my second brother and his wife. Who would have thought that I would miss my second brother on the way."
There was a warm gleam in Han Dixing's clear eyes. When he spoke, he was neither hurried nor slow, with ups and downs, and his voice was particularly pleasant to the ears.
"Don't say anything! These dishes look delicious. How about we have lunch here?" Duan Yanfei didn't have the time to chat with them. He walked to the square table and saw the dishes on the table. His mouth was watering.
Han Dixing had already walked to the threshold of the main hall and turned to look at the woman standing in the courtyard, "Xia Yunshu! Don't stand there in the sun. Come in. This is my second sister-in-law, Wang Ziru..."
Inside the courtyard, Xia Yunshu saw with her own eyes the woman who was clad in her body. She had a radiant complexion, a clear voice, a carefree look when she was talking to others, and a little helplessness when dealing with Duan Yanfei...
Every move she makes is full of confidence.
This scene deeply hurt Xia Yunshu's gloomy heart. She couldn't help but clench her hands, closed her eyes, and looked up. The other person seemed to be looking at her as well.
Wang Ziru teased, "Look at the two of you, you only care about yourselves. Since you brought your friends to the army to play, you didn't even bother to invite them in."
Wang Ziru talked about her brother-in-law and future sister-in-law in public, and Duan Yanfei didn't say anything in rebuttal.
He seemed very submissive in front of her.
Wang Ziru invited Duan Yanfei and Han Dixing to feel free to have a simple meal at Yang's house, so that she wouldn't have to go back home to cook.
Han Dixing felt a little sorry.
I thought to myself that they came into the village empty-handed, without even a thing in their hands, yet they were shameless enough to take the rice bowls from their fellow villagers.
"It's okay, Han Dixing, you don't have to be polite. As the saying goes, a guest is a guest. I am half the host of the village. Sit down and enjoy your meal." Wang Ziru smiled straightforwardly, pulling Han Dixing's sleeve, "Sit down and eat."
A figure came out of the main room and walked to the courtyard.
"This girl's name is Xia Yunshu? I heard that you are a neighbor of the Duan family in Dali?"
The girl from the Xia family in front of him lowered her eyes, her gaze focused on the pair of leather sandals on her feet.
Unable to help herself, Xia Yunshu glanced at the woman standing in front of her. She was wearing a pair of green-shoe Jiefang shoes that were used for farm work? !
Wang Ziru discovered that Xia Yunshu didn't seem to be shy, but just didn't dare to look at her.
She laughed cheerfully, "It's okay! Since you are Duan Yanfei's neighbor, we are also friends. Come in with me. You have come all the way from Kunming by car. It must have taken you two or three hours on the road. You must be tired, right?"
Wang Ziru could hardly see the face of the girl in front of her. She tried to look at her a few times, but only saw the girl's thin face and a somewhat inferior expression.
As she spoke, Wang Ziru reached out and grabbed Xia Yunshu's arm, pulling him directly towards the main hall. "Don't be polite! The food in the village is simple and plain. You are guests now. It's okay to have a meal."
Xia Yunshu's eyes were moist and her nose was sore. She didn't know how to deal with everything in front of her.
This was a scene she had never thought of in the past six months.
