The regimental commander's wife had gone on another spending spree. By evening, almost everyone in the compound knew. Before Cao Da could even clear the table after he left, the first wave of people had already arrived.
The neighboring women came in with smiles: "Oh, Ye is still washing the dishes?" The older woman spoke first.
You can't hit a smiling face, and since they've come to your home, even if they're uninvited, you should still be polite to them, right?
He put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "What brings you all here today, ladies?"
"Oh, we heard you bought a new TV, so we wanted to come and take a look and feast our eyes."
I heard CCTV is airing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" right now, it's really good! Ye, why don't you turn it on and watch it?
With people already in this state, how could I refuse?
Ye Wanying pursed her lips, stepped forward to turn on the TV, and then switched to CCTV: "Well, sisters-in-law, you see, I'll go and clean up that mess first."
Ha, I can't possibly have to accompany him all by myself, can I?
How big is your face?
"Okay, go ahead, we can watch it ourselves."
Sure enough, the group of women had already been captivated by the content on television.
Ye Wanying turned around and took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, but she didn't expect that the second group of people had already arrived. Most of them were people Ye Wanying had only met a few times and didn't even know their names. Seven or eight people were crammed into the living room, filling the sofa and chairs.
Actually, this situation is quite common at this time. Not every household can have a television, so those who don't will naturally go to the homes of those who do have televisions to watch their own.
If it were in a village, and someone had a gazelle, the whole village would probably go to see it.
The living room was quite lively, as there were quite a few people there; with seven or eight women watching TV, it was naturally not quiet.
"How could Guo Jing be so stupid? Huang Rong would have preferred Ouyang Ke."
"If I were Huang Rong, I would choose Ouyang Ke. He's handsome, from a good family, and very smart. He's such a perfect match for Huang Rong."
"I think Guo Jing is great. He's so honest. You can only keep a man if you marry an honest man."
However, just as this group was having a heated discussion, a third group arrived. Suddenly, the entire living room felt like it could barely hold all of them.
"Oh, 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'! I watched a few episodes at Sister Tao's house before, it's really good!" one of the women who came in exclaimed in surprise.
............
The father and son, who had just dropped Cao Da off, were walking down the corridor when they heard the chattering of the women in the house.
Tuanzi frowned immediately and asked, "Dad, why are there so many people in our family?"
Gao Dan naturally realized something and reached out to steady his son's head: "Come on, let's go for another drive!"
Pfft, Commander Gao didn't want to go home and face so many women, so he chose to go out for another stroll.
Tuanzi was confused: "But Daddy, I want to watch TV!"
Want to watch TV? There's nothing for you to watch right now!
Gao Dan simply picked the guy up: "We'll look at it when we get home!"
The little dumpling was reluctantly carried away by his father...
........
Fortunately, nowadays TV dramas only air for a maximum of two episodes, and there aren't as many commercial breaks, so they finish airing quickly.
The women in the room, finally satisfied, bid farewell to Ye Wanying: "Ye, I'll be going now. Come back tomorrow!"
Are you coming again?
