After breakfast, I took the little one to our vegetable garden. The bok choy and pea shoots we planted earlier had grown so much that the three of us couldn't possibly eat them all.
Ye Wanying then planned to pick some vegetables and deliver them to Xiaoyu, the two brothers, and Tiedan's family.
After all, it's better to have leftovers than for them to rot in the ground.
I was surprised by what I found when I started picking. I picked a whole plastic bag full of pea shoots, weighing at least three or four pounds. I also picked a lot of bok choy, which I put in a basket. I also picked a few cabbages, cauliflower, and scallions. It was a very fruitful harvest.
Ye Wanying didn't need to deliver it herself. Soldiers would go out every day, and she could just ask them to take it with them. This was normal in the army. However, Ye Wanying would always give the soldiers who helped her some snacks, such as melon seeds, peanuts, broad beans, candy, or fruit.
After the mother and son came out of the vegetable garden, they were greeted by the comrade on guard at the gate, who said that James had arrived.
This time, James learned his lesson and didn't dare to force his way in again. He even brought his own translator and asked the sentry to call someone out.
............
Ye Wanying brought her son along, mainly because the little guy wanted to come along as soon as he heard that it was Uncle James, the foreigner.
Upon arriving at the gate of the camp, the little boy ran straight over, calling out, "Uncle, uncle..."
When James saw the little guy, he smiled and said, "Hi, boy."
"Uncle James, what brings you here?" Every time he called his name, the little guy was very envious. James, what a nice name.
When will I be able to have a foreign name?
"Oh, I'm here to deliver something to your mother."
The two spoke entirely in English, which suggests that the little guy's English grades will definitely not be too bad in the future.
The two of them chatted for a while before finally getting to the point.
James's translator, who was also his secretary's assistant, then took a large bag of prepared materials for embroidering longevity pictures from the trunk of the car.
"Miss Ye, everything is ready. You can start embroidering now."
Ye Wanying nodded: "Okay."
Last night I was worried that this thing might take a few days to arrive, but it arrived this morning.
James was very happy and didn't forget to mention the possibility of a pay raise again, but Ye Wanying refused, only taking what she was entitled to. This has always been Ye Wanying's principle, and she never oversteps her bounds.
A person who cannot even control his own behavior is a failure.
...
Anything from outside the military, especially anything with foreign connections, is subject to extremely strict inspections.
The large package that James delivered was checked by the guards at the gate at least three times before they allowed him to take it inside.
"It's all set, Miss Ye, thank you so much!" James said excitedly.
"It's only right that you contribute money and I'll contribute my labor."
Upon hearing the translated sentence, James looked on with admiration before following the translator.
Ye Wanying then called for the little one to leave.
Upon arriving at the family compound, the little guy went out to play with his friends. Ye Wanying gave him some instructions before carrying his things home. Without waiting for anything, they started playing right away.
For a longevity pattern, it would naturally look better if it were embroidered on both sides, giving it a high-end, elegant, and classy appearance. However, double-sided embroidery is definitely more complicated and requires more difficult techniques.
However, none of this was a problem for Ye Wanying. She embroidered for three hours straight, only realizing it was noon when she smelled the aroma of stir-fried dishes all around her.
