Seeing that she was carrying a lot of things, Lu Jinyuan reached out and took them from her: "I am Lu Jinyuan, Nian Nian's husband."
"Hello." Xiao Haili had met Lu Jinyuan a few times before, and now that she saw him again, she felt that her friend had excellent taste.
"How much did you drink?" Ran Jinnian asked, worried that he had drunk too much.
Lu Jinyuan blinked: "Wife, I didn't drink much."
Ran Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was awake.
"Is this a dinner party today?" When Xiao Haili arrived at the courtyard, she saw that there were quite a few people in the yard, and she didn't dare to come in directly.
"Yes, have you eaten yet?"
Ran Jinnian suddenly thought of something.
"I ate it."
Xiao Haili ate two steamed buns on the way.
"You've come all this way, what could you have eaten on the way?" Ran Jinnian didn't believe her, and she pulled Xiao Haili into the house.
Zhou Hongying, Yao Yurong, and a few others were helping to tidy up the table when they saw an unfamiliar face. Was this a new family member?
Ran Jin introduced her to her sisters-in-law: "Sisters-in-law, this is my good friend. She's here to be a teacher at the military region."
"Hello, sisters-in-law." Xiao Haili said shyly.
Zhou Hongying immediately understood.
"There's still some food left, you can make do with this for now." Ran Jinnian pulled her into the kitchen again.
Xiao Haili's stomach had been rumbling for a long time, and now she couldn't resist the aroma of the food.
Her eyes reddened slightly: "Jin Nian, thank you."
"You eat first, I'll go out and take a look." Ran Jinnian pretended not to see her tearful eyes and gave her space to eat by herself.
Political Commissar Yan and Chief of Staff Liu were already drunk.
Yan Qingxue was unable to support Political Commissar Yan on her own, so she had to ask Lin Beixiao and Song Mingyi for help.
Chief of Staff Liu was Zheng Anbang, and Xie Hongzhi helped him back.
"Jinyuan, then we'll be going."
Song Mingyi spoke.
Yan Qingxue remained silent.
Once everyone left, only a few women who had helped with the cleaning remained in the yard.
"Sisters-in-law, you've all worked so hard today." Ran Jinnian expressed her gratitude.
Zhou Hongying said, "We didn't do anything, so please don't say such things."
"I'll take care of the rest myself. You guys should go back and get some rest."
Ran Jinnian checked the time.
"We have more people, so we can pack up faster. It will be slower if you and Commander Lu pack up together." Everyone refused to leave.
Xiao Haili didn't have time to be sad in the kitchen; she quickly finished her meal and came out to help.
Everyone chatted and laughed as they cleaned up the mess.
"Sisters, you've worked hard. Take these steamed buns and cornbreads back with you; they'll be perfect for breakfast tomorrow." Ran Jinnian divided the remaining coarse grain steamed buns and cornbreads into several portions for her sisters-in-law to take away.
This is a very common thing. Uneaten food is often taken home by relatives and friends, not only to avoid waste, but also to strengthen relationships.
"Then we won't stand on ceremony."
Everyone took a portion, then carried the table, bowls, and chopsticks away.
The lively courtyard suddenly fell silent.
"I'm so tired." Ran Jinnian didn't actually do anything today, but she just felt tired for some reason.
When Lu Jinyuan heard his wife say she was tired, he subconsciously reached out and massaged her shoulders.
Xiao Haili sat on the stool, looking at the loving young couple with a hint of envy in her eyes.
Ran Jinnian remembered that Xiao Haili was there, so she quickly slapped Lu Jinyuan's hand away: "Haili, I'll take you to the elementary school to find Director Chen tomorrow."
Xiao Haili was a little worried: "Can I really become a primary school teacher in the military region?"
If she can't stay in the military region, she doesn't know where else to go in this vast world.
"Of course."
Ran Jinnian then took a good look at her and saw that she was still wearing the same clothes as she had worn a few years ago, which told her that she was having a very difficult time.
"You must be exhausted from traveling for several days. Get some rest early tonight." Although Ran Jinnian wanted to chat with her, she thought that it was not urgent for her to travel so hard.
Xiao Haili rushed over after receiving the telegram. She hadn't eaten or slept well on the way, and now she was exhausted.
