Wang Yue had a small appetite and couldn't finish half of her meal. She pushed the half-eaten meat dish in front of her to Li Zhao and said, "I can't eat anymore. To avoid waste, can you help me finish it?"
The tone was awkward, yet contained a hint of righteousness.
Wang Cuilan looked up at Wang Yue without saying anything.
A dark glint flashed across Li Zhao's eyes. He ate the steamed bun in his hand with the food in the bowl in a few bites, then shook his head and said, "No, I'm full!"
Wang Yue curled her lips and dragged the plate back, "Alright, if you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it myself!"
It's meat after all! It's not like she really can't eat it!
Wang Yue was a chatterbox. After a short silence, she went back to chat with Wang Cuilan and Li Zhao. "I found out the name of our chief instructor for this military training. Do you want to know?"
"Oh?" You found out right away? Wang Cuilan was curious.
Wang Yue was delighted to see someone showing up, and excitedly said, "The chief instructor's name is Xie Zheng. I heard he's from a prominent family. He's only twenty-four or twenty-five, but he's already a battalion-level officer!"
Wang Yue held her blushing face in her hands. "He's handsome, has a good family background, and is very capable. What a good candidate for a husband! Why did you get married?"
Wang Yue wailed, "And I heard he's marrying a country bumpkin!"
Wang Yue bit her chopsticks fiercely and said indignantly, "How could the chief instructor marry such a wife? It's like a flower stuck in cow dung!"
"If all else fails, he can look at me. I have a good education and I'm pretty good-looking too. I'm definitely better than his current wife!"
Wang Yue was still muttering when Li Zhao interrupted her coldly.
"You're ugly, but you have beautiful dreams. If you have the time to dream, you might as well read more books to improve yourself, otherwise your brain will be empty and people will see you as a fool at a glance."
"And be careful when you speak, country boy. What's wrong with being a country boy? I'm from the country too. I'm no worse than any of you city people!"
Li Zhaoteng stood up and said to Wang Cuilan and the others, "I've finished my meal. Take your time eating. I'll be leaving first!"
Staring at Li Zhao's back without turning back, Wang Yue took a long time to come back to her senses. Furiously, she turned to Wang Cuilan and said, "What's with Li Zhao's attitude? I was just joking around, and she just went on a rampage. If you didn't know her, you'd think she was Chief Inspector Xie Zheng's country wife! Such a big reaction!"
There was not much reaction. Xie Zheng's wife Wang Cuilan said: "......"
The military training lasted for two weeks, and the school gave one day off after it ended. That afternoon, Wang Cuilan packed up her things and went home. It was at this time that several people in the dormitory learned that Wang Cuilan was also a "capital person"!
Wang Cuilan hurried home without even having time to put down her bag. She pushed open the door of the nursery and went to see her three children.
Only mothers know how it feels to not see your child for many days.
I worry about them constantly, wondering if they're eating well, wearing clothes, crying, making a fuss, or hungry.
A series of worries came to my mind. Even though I knew that there were people taking care of them and my worries would never happen, I just couldn't control it.
This is a common problem for mothers.
When Wang Cuilan opened the door, the three children had just finished their milk and were not asleep yet.
——The eldest child was sitting and playing with the building blocks that Wang Cuilan had specially asked Xie Zheng to polish very smoothly. The second child was trying to walk with the help of a soft pillow that Aunt An had placed aside for fear that they would not behave well and fall. The third child was deliberately causing trouble.
Sometimes he poked his brother's little finger, sometimes he touched his sister's little feet, and he had a lot of fun.
