Seeing that her "big move" hadn't worked, Wu Jinfeng didn't dare to continue pestering him. Didn't she see how dark Zhou Qimin's face had turned? She wouldn't gain much advantage if she continued to argue. After all, there was still time to spare, and Zhao Yunxiang couldn't escape from her home, so she might as well slowly figure out a solution!
The team members continued to distribute the food, and those who received food continued to move it home. Wu Jinfeng's incident in the warehouse was also regarded as a joke by the members of the first team and spread throughout the village.
By the time Zhou Chunping heard the rumor, Wu Jinfeng's reputation in Zhoujia Village had reached a new level. Zhou Chunping had no other way to remedy the situation except to go home and get angry at Wu Jinfeng a few times.
Zhao Yunxiang had to divide the food several times before finally bringing home several hundred kilograms of grain. Looking at the overflowing food cabinet on the rooftop, Zhao Yunxiang's heart was filled with joy. This was the fruit of her hard work for a year. With her own two hands, she had supported herself and her two children.
"Mom, hurry up and wipe your sweat." As soon as Zhao Yunxiang finished packing the last load of grain, the considerate Zhou Yuanyuan immediately handed her a wet towel. The towel still radiated warmth. This child had even boiled water without making a sound?
Zhao Yunxiang took the towel from Zhou Yuanyuan with a smile and wiped her sweat. The refreshing feeling made Zhao Yunxiang's heart swell with joy. Her Yuanyuan had grown up without her noticing!
"Mom, please don't cry. Yuanyuan will be obedient." Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little panicked as she watched the tears rolling down Zhao Yunxiang's eyes. Zhou Yuanyuan remembered that in her previous life, Zhao Yunxiang rarely cried. No matter how hard or tired she was, she would always face it with a smile.
"Mom, Jiasheng is also obedient." Zhou Jiasheng also hurried to express his wishes. While his mother was moving food, his sister asked to boil some water, and he rushed back and forth to help his sister move firewood. He was the one who lit the fire in the big stove!
"Good children, you two are good children." Zhao Yunxiang squatted down and hugged the two little bodies, her heart full of relief.
For the sake of her child, she, as a mother, had to stand up. No matter what, even if her mother-in-law had another trick up her sleeve, she would just follow through. Thinking of Wu Jinfeng's dejected look this afternoon, Zhao Yunxiang smiled slightly.
Serves her right! She deserves to be embarrassed!
Zhao Yunxiang knew she shouldn't think this way, but today was the first time she rejected her mother-in-law's request, in front of everyone. Wu Jinfeng didn't insist on her refusal, but chose to keep the peace, which gave Zhao Yunxiang a feeling of hope.
For the first time, Zhao Yunxiang discovered that her mother-in-law, Wu Jinfeng, had her weaknesses. Wu Jinfeng was a woman who cared deeply about her reputation. In front of the villagers, she wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted, as she would at home. Previously, Zhao Yunxiang had spoiled her, allowing her to have her way. Perhaps... she could exploit this to her advantage in the future?
At the same time, thousands of miles away in G Province, in the suburbs of N City.
In the evening, Zhou Zhixin led the team to complete a day of training and planned to go to the city to buy some candy for the children to send back. This year, there were fewer people on duty during the Spring Festival, so Zhou Zhixin reluctantly gave up the opportunity to reunite with his family and chose to stay in the army for the New Year.
The kids must have grown quite a bit taller, right? Since they can't see their dad during the New Year, it might be nice to let them eat the candy he bought and think about me. Zhou Zhixin was secretly calculating.
"Deputy Captain Zhou, there is a letter." The sentry at the door saw Zhou Zhixin and hurriedly took out several letters from the sentry box.
One, two, three, four. Why are there four letters? Is something going on at home? Zhou Zhixin was full of confusion and quickly glanced down.
One letter is from Yunxiang, another is from her parents in Zhoujia Village, another is from her brother-in-law Zhao Guohui, and the remaining one is from Wen Ziqing?
Who is Wen Ziqing? Zhou Zhixin thought for a long time, but couldn't remember.
Never mind, we’ll know who it is soon.
Zhou Zhixin held a few letters in his hand and didn't bother to go to the city. He turned around and walked towards the dormitory.
Thinking of Zhao Yunxiang, Zhou Zhixin's lips curved upwards. He wondered if she was doing well at home? Had she listened to him and gone to the production team less often? The work was too tiring. Yunxiang was delicate, and with two children to look after, she hoped she wouldn't tire herself out. Most importantly...after all this time, had Yunxiang thought about him?
Zhao Yunxiang's letters were very regular, usually one per month. In every letter, Zhao Yunxiang would say that everything was fine at home, she and her children were doing well, and her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law were also very good to her.
Every time Zhou Zhixin received a letter from Zhao Yunxiang, he would be filled with joy for the entire day. He considered himself to have accumulated great merit in his previous life to have married such a wonderful wife. Yunxiang was not only gentle and virtuous, but also provided him with a strong support system, which was the best way to support his work. Isn't mutual understanding and common progress the key to a husband and wife?
Life in the countryside was certainly hard, but thanks to his fifteen yuan monthly subsidy, the three of them could live a little easier. Zhou Zhixin always wrote home, urging Zhao Yunxiang to not overwork herself. With money in hand, she wouldn't have to work so hard in the production team, so she could stay home and recuperate. Yunxiang was a skilled dressmaker, so even if she didn't work, she could help make clothes at home, and their family could get by.
Zhou Zhixin had promised his father-in-law, Zhao Qingshan, that he would treat Yunxiang well after marrying her. Over the years, Zhou Zhixin had indeed lived up to his promise. While in the army, Zhou Zhixin lived frugally and sent most of his money to Yunxiang.
With his money to support the family, Yunxiang and the children would surely be fine. Zhou Zhixin felt full of energy whenever he thought of his wife and children.
When Zhou Zhixin returned to the dormitory, the first letter he opened was from Zhao Yunxiang.
