Chapter 288 Difficulty in Communication
Yang Fen came over and said, "Miaomiao, what do you think of my daughter? Although she is one year older than Xiao Shijie, she is very well behaved. She can wash her own clothes and cook for herself. She is capable!"
She said this.
Yang Fen's youngest daughter, Wu Fangfang, is eleven years old this year. She looks like her father, tall and big, with skin like Yang Fen, a little dark.
When she heard Yang Fen talking about herself, Wu Fangfang ran over, sniffed and said, "Aunties, my mother is right, I am really capable.
Brother Shijie, you can consider it. I will marry into your family in the future. I will dig the land and plant crops, and you will cook at home. I want to eat the rat buns you make!"
Strong taste!
Xu Weilan almost laughed out loud.
He Miao looked at Wu Fangfang's dark face and casual personality, and felt a little amused. "What's the point of talking about marriage or not, you little kid?"
Yang Fen said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. We are the only ones here, no one else. Let's arrange a baby marriage first."
Xiao Shijie was there taking care of his younger brother and had no idea that someone was targeting him.
He Miao is a beauty lover, and so is Zhu Changfeng.
Little Shijie is even more so!
He Miao knew his son well and shook his head, "Sister Yang! Stop talking. You've taught the little girl a bad lesson."
Zhao Chunhua immediately pushed Wu Fangfang and said, "Fangfang, go check over there and see if your dad and his friends are back. Go and help move some benches or something."
Only then did Wu Fangfang run away.
Zhao Chunhua immediately looked at Yang Fen seriously and said, "This is not the way to educate your daughter. It will spoil her. She is already 11 years old."
Yang Fen, however, looked unconvinced. "Sister Chunhua, what do you think you should teach your daughter to be like? If she becomes like your wheat ear, you won't get anything out of her even if you hit her with a stick! Humph!"
Zhao Chunhua was immediately annoyed. "Yang Fen, I'm kindly reminding you, what do you mean? What's wrong with my Mai Sui? She just doesn't like to talk! Is she not diligent? Is her academic performance not good?"
She also wanted to attack her own Fangfang for being shameless, talking about getting married at such a young age.
But considering that the girl was still young, her words would hurt the little girl.
But Yang Fen is stupid and talks about everything, including her wheat ears.
Chen Yin saw that something was wrong and immediately advised, "Hey, stop arguing, Sister Chunhua, Sister Yang, stop arguing! Nowadays, we advocate freedom of marriage. Dating is a good thing. Get to know each other first, then talk about marriage.
"We don't have arranged marriages anymore. It's useless to say anything now! Stop arguing!"
Yang Fen snorted, "For Sister-in-law Chen Yin's sake, Sister-in-law Chunhua, I won't argue with you! But don't say anything, I've corrupted my daughter.
My girl is generous and straightforward. She says whatever she wants to say. It's better than not being able to fart at all!"
Zhao Chunhua was furious. "What do you mean you can't even fart? Isn't it normal for a girl to be shy and reserved? Yang Fen, what right do you have to say that I am a girl? It's true that she doesn't like to talk!
There are millions of people in the world, and they all have their own personalities. What's wrong with that? "
Xu Weilan saw that Zhao Chunhua was really angry. She thought about how Yang Fen had said it not only once but a second time. It was not good for a good gathering to be ruined like this.
She immediately stepped forward to persuade them, "Sister Yang Fen, Sister Chun Hua, stop fighting. Girls who don't like to talk are quiet and beautiful, while girls who like to talk are chivalrous. They each have their own merits."
Yang Fen looked at Zhao Chunhua smugly, "Sister Chunhua, did you hear me? This is called the style of a chivalrous woman. Look at your mouth, you don't know how to speak!"
Zhao Chunhua rolled her eyes in anger and wanted to tear Yang Fen's mouth apart!
Why is she so annoying!
Zhao Chunhua was really angry.
Yang Fen really deserved a beating, and she said lightly, "Little Shijie will definitely choose my Fangfang, not your Mai Sui!"
He Miao couldn't bear to listen any more.
Xu Moli on this side immediately frowned, "Yang Fen, what nonsense are you talking about? The child is only a little old, why are you choosing so much?
As an elder, you shouldn't make fun of the younger ones like this. Use your brain! Don't say anything out loud. If you let the word get out that Fangfang wants to get married at such a young age, who will be willing to be your relative in the future?
What good is it to ruin your reputation as a lady? And Mai Sui, that girl is shy and doesn't like to talk, how did she offend you? You are going to use her to drag you down.
I think even if you live to be a hundred years old, you still won’t understand life and can’t control your mouth. In the future, you will ruin your husband’s future and your child’s reputation!”
Xu Moli was originally the director of the women's department of the military region. She was a sharp-tongued person with a serious look. After she yelled at her, Yang Fen instantly wilted and dared not say a word.
Xu Weilan looked at Xu Moli in agreement, and at the same time advised: "That's what Sister Chunhua just said. Sister Yangfen, think twice before you speak."
Yang Fen was really thick-skinned. She was not annoyed when being criticized by Xu Moli. She just laughed and said, "Oh, I am uneducated!
I had no idea that the matter was so serious. I thought Sister Chunhua was disgusted with my Fangfang and wanted Mai Sui and my Fangfang to take away Shijie. "
Damn it!
It's really irrelevant.
If you don't agree with each other, don't say anything.
I have never met anyone with such a dull brain and who is completely unable to communicate.
He Miao wanted to say something, but Xu Weilan grabbed her hand and signaled her not to speak.
Zhao Chunhua was almost enraged again and went berserk, but she finally endured it.
Xu Moli scolded Yang Fen again, but Yang Fen just laughed and said to Zhao Chunhua, "Hey, Sister Chunhua, don't be angry.
I'm just saying this casually, our girls are all good, all good."
Zhao Chunhua pushed Yang Fen's hand away and didn't want to talk to her. Her mouth was really stinky! It was really annoying.
Seeing that Zhao Chunhua ignored her, Yang Fen didn't care and continued to eat melon seeds and chat happily.
No matter how good you say about Yang Fen, she will always say something to piss you off to death.
You say she is a bad person, but she doesn't seem to have done anything against the law.
The gap between people is really huge.
Some people live in a daze, never clear-headed throughout their lives, but they live quite happily.
Some people live too clearly, yet too entangled. So there is no such thing as a perfect person. We just live our own lives.
This little episode did not affect the lively atmosphere today.
The whole military compound was filled with the aroma of delicious food. Occasionally, you could hear the kids setting off cannons, which was quite loud and full of the flavor of the New Year.
After this gathering.
These returning heroic warriors will all return to their hometowns with their families to celebrate the New Year.
So this is our last gathering before the New Year. Today is a day off for everyone, so of course we won’t go home until we are drunk and have a great time.
After the little episode with the military wives, everyone started to take their seats.
The chefs began to serve the dishes.
The delicious dishes one after another dazzled everyone's eyes.
Chen Yin asked Xu Weilan in a low voice, "Weilan, how can we make so many delicious dishes with the little money we saved? Auntie didn't add money herself, did she?"
"You're overthinking it. My mother's company has chicken farms, pig farms, vegetable gardens, and orchards. These things are all produced by our own company, so the cost is naturally low."
But it is true that her mother contributed some money.
Chen Yin still said, "Even if it's our own product, we should still charge the market price."
She made a small note in her mind and went back to discuss with a few military wives to give them some extra money. How could she let Aunt Qian pay for the cooking and now she was even paying for it herself?
Xu Weilan saw what she was thinking, "My mother has this intention, sister-in-law, please don't reject her kindness. You have really suffered in the past two years, and this is what you deserve."
Chen Yin smiled and said, "He has made sacrifices for the people of his motherland. That is what he deserves. It is our honor and our pride."
Xu Weilan was deeply moved.
Today's meal consists of ten dishes, one soup and one snack.
There are six main dishes, a braised pork elbow, roast duck, braised pork, braised chicken, steamed glutinous rice ribs, and braised fish.
Four family side dishes: shredded pork with Beijing sauce, sweet and sour cabbage, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and pork belly stewed with vermicelli.
One soup is white radish and lamb soup!
The snacks were naturally the crispy cakes made by Chen Yin, which came in five flavors: brown sugar, black sesame, pepper and salt, salted egg yolk, and meat floss. Each flavor cost two pieces, and a plate contained ten pieces. They were snatched up by the kids as soon as they were served.
As soon as the dishes were served, everyone sighed with satisfaction. They were so delicious!
A chef is a chef.
Today's staple foods include white rice and mutton dumplings.
The children like mutton dumplings more. After eating a few dumplings, they have a bowl of soup and a few pieces of crispy cakes. After eating, the kids happily leave the table and continue playing.
Pingping and Anan saw their brothers were about to run away again, so they tried to chase them with small cookies in their hands.
Xiao Shijie immediately blocked the way, "An An, brother, be good and eat your meal properly. You can't eat after you leave the table. Be good, brother will play with you, there's no rush."
An An was still very anxious. Watching those brothers walk away, his heart felt like it was flying away.
Pingping sat on the left side of little Shijie, slowly drinking the soup served by her brother, eating shortbread in small bites, her short legs swaying back and forth, looking very leisurely and comfortable.
An An was in a hurry to play, but he was not in a hurry at all. He finished the soup in his hand and looked at Xiao Shijie, "Brother...soup...drink..."
Xiao Shijie immediately served Pingping more soup.
When An An saw that Xiao Shijie was serving soup to Ping Ping again and not to him, he was no longer in a hurry to play and drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp and asked Xiao Shijie to serve as well.
Little Shijie never got tired of it. He took care of the two little ones happily, and his mouth was also busy.
Xu Weilan was delighted to see this. The two kids were so lucky!
With such a good brother, she thought these two kids would also be good brothers in the future. But it seems that she has no brothers or sisters in her family?
Given Xu Weilan and Qin Yan's situation, it is impossible for them to have a second child.
She is now thinking about the people around her, and she will definitely have many brothers and sisters in the future.
After dinner.
Everyone helped to clean up.
By the time we finished cleaning up, it was already dark and it looked like it was going to snow again.
Xu Weilan and Qin Yan planned to rest in the military compound.
Pingping and Anan seldom come to this house. They were particularly curious when they entered the house and looked around.
Qian Qiuxue was going back to the government compound, and she took Qiu Shu and Sister Mei with her.
The two children were left to Xu Weilan and Qin Yan.
It's already evening.
After visiting her other home safely, she took a small stool and leaned against the wall, calling her brother.
