Zhan Yihan reached out and took Su Jinyue into his arms, gazing at her with a look of tenderness. He caressed Su Jinyue's soft hair lovingly, "Are you still busy tomorrow?"
"Is there something?" Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhan Yihan, then put her arms around his neck and rested her forehead against his.
"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and the army is organizing a rice dumpling-making activity. It's open to couples, and the winning couple gets ten extra rice dumplings." Zhan Yihan lowered his head and kissed Su Jinyue on the forehead. He didn't care whether there were rice dumplings or not, but he had never participated in any activities with Jinyue before.
"Okay." Su Jinyue responded happily. She had never participated in any military activities.
"Can you make rice dumplings?" Zhan Yihan smiled slightly and gently rubbed Su Jinyue's nose with his nose.
"Of course, I, your wife, can both work in the living room and cook in the kitchen." Su Jinyue said with a proud smile.
"You missed one sentence." Zhan Yihan lowered his head and kissed Su Jinyue's red lips, then picked her up and walked towards the bedroom.
Su Jinyue patted Zhan Yihan's shoulder coquettishly and responded enthusiastically. She already knew what she had omitted to say: "Can you enter the bedroom?" This bad guy!
The auditorium was bustling with activity early in the morning. On the long table made up of more than a dozen small tables, all the ingredients needed for making rice dumplings, such as rice leaves, glutinous rice, dates, red beans, egg yolks, etc., were already placed.
Almost every couple in the military family compound participated in today's rice dumpling wrapping competition. It's not often that couples participate in such activities together, and not only can they take their own rice dumplings home, but the winning couple also gets an additional ten dumplings.
Su Jinyue, Zhan Yihan, Tian Cuifang and Wang Pengcheng walked into the auditorium together.
"It's really lively here," Tian Cuifang said with a smile. It had been a long time since she'd attended such a lively event. Originally, Lao Wang hadn't wanted to join because his dumplings always had the fillings exposed, but after learning Zhan Yihan was joining, he changed his mind. Even Zhan Yihan, a quiet man, was willing to accompany his wife, so he naturally didn't want to be left behind, so he joined along.
"Captain Zhan, Sister-in-law Zhan, Captain Wang, Aunt Wang."
"Sister-in-law Zhan, Auntie Wang, do you want to participate in the rice dumpling making activity?" Military wives kept coming forward to greet Su Jinyue and the other three.
"Yes, I haven't made rice dumplings for a long time. I don't know if I can make them well." Tian Cuifang said with a smile.
"Aunt Wang's dumplings are so beautiful, you're definitely the winner this time," said Sister Li with a smile. There had been similar events in previous years, but not with couples participating together. Tian Cuifang always won, as she made dumplings quickly and beautifully, each one roughly the same size.
"Sister-in-law Li, please don't say that. If I lose, I'll be so embarrassed," Tian Cuifang said with a smile. Her dumplings were indeed beautiful, but this was a competition between husband and wife, and the final victory depended on the result of their combined efforts.
"Aunt Wang, you are too modest. How could you lose?" Sister Liu said with a smile.
"Don't flatter me. We have several new young women in the military family compound. Their rice dumplings are definitely not any worse than mine," Tian Cuifang said with a smile. She knew whether everyone was sincere or just trying to flatter her. If her husband, Lao Wang, hadn't been the regiment commander, they wouldn't have acted like this.
"That's true. Sister Zhan is obviously a smart person. The rice dumplings she makes must be as beautiful as she is."
"That's for sure, Sister-in-law Zhan, you have to show us today."
Su Jinyue smiled. "Of course I'll do my best. I'm not sure if the dumplings are good enough." Today was her and Yihan's first time participating in an event at the military district, so she naturally wouldn't embarrass herself. Although these military wives praised her, there was a clear hint of disdain in their eyes.
"We'll go first." Su Jinyue really didn't like hearing such hypocritical words, so she walked towards where Zhan Yihan was.
Tian Cuifang also followed Su Jinyue. She also didn't like dealing with these military wives.
After Su Jinyue and Tian Cuifang walked away, several military wives gathered together and started talking in a low voice.
"She's still wrapping zongzi with those hands. I'm sure they'll tear the leaves if they scratch them."
"What's the point of being good-looking if you can't even have a child."
"Isn't she a doctor? How could she not have children? Maybe she just doesn't want to."
"Sister-in-law Zhan and Sister-in-law Wang have a really good relationship, like mother and daughter."
"Maybe they can really become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Sister Zhan has hooked up with Sister Wang's son. I saw them going out together yesterday."
"Don't talk nonsense. It would be bad if Sister-in-law Zhan and Sister-in-law Wang heard it."
"So what if I heard it? What should I be afraid of? It's just that the regiment commander is a bit pitiful. He married a Pan Jin..." Before the military wife finished her words, she felt like she was slapped hard on the mouth and screamed in pain.
Hearing the soldier's wife's cry of pain, everyone looked at her and saw that her mouth was slowly swelling up, and soon it looked like there were two sausages hanging there.
"Sister Wang, why did your mouth suddenly become like this?"
Mrs. Wang wanted to speak, but found that she couldn't speak at all. She was so anxious that tears were about to come out.
"Sister Wang, please say something."
Mrs. Wang tried several times but couldn't speak. She could only look sad, point to her throat and shake her head.
"Can't speak anymore? Are you possessed?"
"What did you eat this morning? Did you eat something wrong?"
"I'm sure you just said something you shouldn't have. I'm saying you can't let people say bad things about others."
"You'd better let Sister Zhan take a look at you, otherwise it would be all over if you really become mute." A military wife suggested.
Mrs. Wang nodded and walked towards Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue was discussing different types of zongzi with Zhan Yihan when she saw Mrs. Wang come out and exchange a smile with Zhan Yihan. She had been talking so loudly that not only she heard it, but Yihan had heard it too. She could tolerate it, but Yihan wouldn't let her be slandered, so he taught her a lesson. It was better to be silent, so she wouldn't have to spew filth.
Mrs. Wang walked up to Su Jinyue and pointed at her throat anxiously.
"Have bees stared at your mouth? There are the most bees in this season, and they especially like to stare at people who talk nonsense." Su Jinyue looked at Mrs. Wang sarcastically.
Sister Wang avoided Su Jinyue's sight with a guilty conscience. Could it be that she heard what she said? She spoke very quietly.
"I can't cure your mouth. You should go to the military hospital." Su Jinyue said, no longer paying attention to the other party, and walked towards the middle-aged man who had just walked in with Zhan Yihan. She was not that magnanimous. She could not heal someone who had slandered her so much.
