With only a week left, this wedding is too rushed.
Ran Jinnian didn't think much of it, since it was none of her business.
She counted the money and meat ration coupons from the drawer, then thought for a moment and took out a bag of fruit candies.
"I'm going next door. Just call me if you need anything," Ran Jinnian said to Lu Jinyuan.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Ran Jinnian pushed open the courtyard gate but did not go in.
"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in."
Zhou Hongying was busy inside the house.
"Sister-in-law, here's the money for the food you've been bringing to my family these past few days. Take a look."
Ran Jinnian handed her the money.
"What are you doing? We didn't eat anything good. We just ate whatever my family ate, just like Commander Lu ate." Zhou Hongying refused to accept the food.
"Sister-in-law, you've already taken such good care of Lu Jinyuan. How can I just eat your food for free?"
When Zhou Hongying saw that she had given her two more meat coupons, she said, "That's too much, too much. You don't need this many."
“Sister-in-law, Jin Yuan told me everything. Every time I cook meat, I bring him a big bowl.” Ran Jin Nian knew Zhou Hongying was honest.
She shouldn't take advantage of someone who treats her with sincerity.
"There's not much meat. Commander Lu is exaggerating."
"Sister-in-law, please take this money. If you don't accept it, I'll have to come to Sister Yao for help if anything happens in the future," Ran Jinnian said deliberately.
"Alright, alright, I really can't do anything with you." Zhou Hongying only accepted three yuan, refusing to accept the meat ration coupon no matter what.
Ran Jinnian had no choice but to think about making up for it later.
Zhou Hongying saw there was still a bag of fruit candies: "Take it back quickly, you're being too polite."
“Sister-in-law, you’re being too polite. This is just something I gave to the three children to sweeten their mouths.” After Ran Jin said this, Zhou Hongying had nothing more to say.
"You don't need that much. You spoil those three little ones too much."
Ran Jinnian ignored her words and handed out a few candies to each person.
"I heard that Commander-in-Chief Lin asked you to write an article?" Zhou Hongying went out this morning and when she came back, she heard everyone talking about it.
"Um."
Ran Jinnian gave a vague reply.
Before Zhou Hongying could ask anything else, Ran Jinnian changed the subject: "Sister-in-law, who is Yan Qingxue marrying?"
This kind of thing is more interesting to gossip about with women.
really.
Zhou Hongying immediately dropped what she was doing: "He's a new regimental commander. I heard his family has a powerful background; his ancestors were..."
Ran Jinnian was surprised by the man's background: "No wonder he was in such a hurry to get married."
"No, no, no." Zhou Hongying became even more excited: "Yan Qingxue is pregnant. This matter has caused quite a stir in the military region."
"ah."
Ran Jinnian was somewhat surprised, after all, people's thinking is still quite traditional. Being pregnant out of wedlock is considered a shameful thing.
"I heard that Commander Huo used to be a playboy in the headquarters military region..." Zhou Hongying told Ran Jin the gossip she had heard, word for word.
Ran Jin listened with great interest.
Zhou Hongying was so thirsty after speaking that she drank two large glasses of water before she felt much better.
"Also, Yu Xiuzhi ran away from her hometown a few days ago. Her face was covered in bruises. She had a fight with her mother-in-law at home." Zhou Hongying continued to talk about the lively things happening in the family compound.
Ran Jinnian simply listened.
“Her mother-in-law called, and Yu Xiuzhi and her husband had been arguing for several days, creating a chaotic situation.”
Ran Jinnian chatted with Zhou Hongying for a while, listening to all the latest happenings in the family compound, before finally going home.
As soon as she got home, she saw someone sitting there, chatting animatedly with Lu Jinyuan.
She looked closely and said, "Secretary Gao."
"Comrade Ran, you're back." Secretary Gao greeted him naturally.
