Looking at the four sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table and raising his eyebrows, he said nothing. He just gave the four people a cold look. The four people instantly understood and took their bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen to wash them.
After watching the four people enter the kitchen, Gu Cheng'an shook his head and laughed. It seemed that it would take a long time to make the children behave themselves.
He walked to the door, took his coat and put it on. After the four people came out, he wrapped scarves around them and left with them.
He Wanqing was at Shen Ping's house, standing at the window. She watched the two adults and one child go out to the training ground before she left and went home.
On the way, He Wanqing chatted with the neighbors in the staff housing estate for a while before going home.
After returning home, she looked at the living room that had been tidied up, closed the door and went into her room to rest.
It’s the recent Chinese New Year, and she has been busy since the holiday. Now that her child has been taken away, she finally has some time to rest alone.
As soon as I lay down in bed, I remembered the clothes in the washing machine in the space, so I lifted the quilt and slipped into the space to hang the washed clothes on the balcony.
She threw the clothes that the triplets had just changed into the washing machine. After the clothes were washed and hung out to dry, she returned to bed, no longer feeling sleepy. She took the book from the bedside table and began to prepare for class.
This year she no longer teaches in primary school, but has passed the exam to be promoted to junior high school.
Thinking about the large number of classes in junior high school, and in order to have more time to accompany her children in the future, she picked up a pen and started to read again the textbooks that she had prepared countless times since the holiday.
While reading, I was revising the lesson plan I had written earlier, and I didn't stop until I heard a child crying downstairs.
Putting her textbook aside, she threw back the quilt, put on her clothes, and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Gu Chengan, who had just returned from get off work, saw her entering the kitchen and hurriedly stopped her from preparing to cook.
"Wanqing, stop cooking. The deputy headmaster is having a dinner party today. Let's go and eat the ready-made food."
He Wanqing, who was holding a pot and preparing to add water, heard this and left the kitchen to look at Gu Chengan, who was hanging the key at the door:
"Really? Why didn't you tell me at noon so I could go and help!"
When her family hosted a dinner a few days ago, everyone came to help. Now that she's not going today, won't this give people the opportunity to gossip about her?
"I forgot."
Looking at her expression, Gu Chengan, who had already guessed her thoughts, spread his hands. He was really only concerned with educating his children at that time and had completely forgotten about this matter.
"Okay, I got it." Putting the pot on the shelf at the kitchen door, she untied her apron and walked towards the room.
As I walked, I was thinking about the gifts I could bring with me, because I couldn't go empty-handed.
She thought about all the things she could bring from home, and finally decided to take a cured chicken from the space. After all, all the things in the house that could be given as gifts were gone, and the only thing she had was cured meat, which she had made at noon.
Just two minutes after entering the room, she came out with a cured chicken: "Let's go, this should be enough."
Looking at the cured chicken in her hand, Gu Chengan's mouth twitched a little, and he really wanted to ask her how many pickled goods she had prepared.
"Okay, but you gave bacon to other people's homes a few days ago, why did you give bacon chicken today???"
He glanced around the house and finally looked at the balcony, only to find that the bacon hanging there was gone.
"We've just eaten the last one at noon. Let's go quickly. We can't keep them waiting." After saying that, she walked around him, took the cured chicken and went out.
When she got downstairs, she met Chen Ping, who was also carrying a cured chicken like her. The two sisters looked at each other and were both speechless about their men.
Gu Chengan and Su Benjun, who were going downstairs behind the two of them, saw the two sisters whispering in front of them and suddenly got a headache again.
They really didn't mean to not tell them to go and help, they just forgot to discipline the children at noon.
Deputy Captain Liu's home and the other two families live in the same building, but not in the same unit. The four of them took the children who were playing downstairs and arrived at the destination in a short walk.
As soon as she entered the room and saw the people in the room, He Wanqing wanted to go home. She never expected there would be so many people.
"Sister Liu, I'm sorry. My husband went home at noon to educate my three brothers Mo Bai, and forgot to tell them about your family's dinner party. Otherwise, I would have come early to help."
As soon as she entered the door, she handed the cured chicken in her hand to Deputy Headmaster Liu's wife in front of the family members and sisters-in-law who were talking. While apologizing, He Wanqing explained why she did not come to help cook dinner.
"Sister He, what you said is true. We all know what happened to your Mo Bai brothers at noon, so it's not your fault that the captain forgot to mention it when he got home.
You and Sister Shen Ping, come over and sit down to eat. It doesn’t require much preparation and I can finish it in a short while.
What's more, we have the help of Sister Zhang and Sister Wu, so there is no need for you to come. After all, my kitchen is so small, and it will be difficult to accommodate more people.
You and Gu Tuan can just come, but why did you bring a cured chicken with you? It makes me feel embarrassed! ”
After saying that, she looked at Chen Ping again. After seeing her apologizing and handing over a cured chicken, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
Then she glanced at the people in the room, and took the cured chicken into the kitchen: "Everyone sit down and eat slowly. I made the cured chicken for us as a snack."
As soon as Sister Liu said this, the two sisters-in-law who came to help with cooking immediately echoed her, and their faces did not show any sign of gossiping just now.
As soon as the three of them entered the kitchen, the other people in the living room stood up to greet them, but it was an hour later when they actually got to eat their meal.
After another hour of eating, He Wanqing and Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief as they helped clean up and went downstairs to go home.
"Sister, it's really more comfortable to live in the western suburbs." Looking back at the corridor behind her, Chen Ping sighed.
"Well, we are all family members here, so there is no need for all these polite things. Of course it is comfortable there.
But we have to come to the staff quarters. Fortunately, we don’t come here often in a year, otherwise I would go crazy. ”
She felt that the atmosphere in this family compound was much worse than the army where her father had served before. These women could set up three traps in their words. Fortunately, she and Shen Ping were smart, otherwise they would have been tricked by someone again tonight.
"Yes, at noon, Benjun told me that the local school was also recruiting teachers and asked me to transfer over. Fortunately, I had the foresight to refuse."
If she doesn't refuse, she will have to compete with the kids at school, and with the sisters-in-law in the family compound after get off work. It's too tiring and she can't handle it.
Turning to look at Chen Ping, she saw the lucky look on her face and smiled gently: "It's okay, your Su Benjun is now a regimental staff officer, and he will be able to get closer after a few years of hard work.
At that time, even if those people want to talk to you, they will do it behind your back and will never dare to drag you into the conversation. ”
"Sister, come on, I've been to the family compound where my aunt lives before, and it's not much different from here.
Besides, considering Benjun's age, by the time he reaches the point where I don't need to be careful in dealing with those people, he will probably be ready to retire. ”
Shaking her head, she saw that they had arrived at her own unit, waved to her, and went upstairs with her son.
