The four words that came out of Qin Nian's mouth left her somewhat stunned.
"But wouldn't marriage make things even more complicated?"
Fan Juan was already getting a headache just thinking about all the things she would have to face after getting married, even before the wedding was over.
Qin Nian remained silent, thinking about her married life, which was indeed troublesome. However, since her mother-in-law arrived, everything had been resolved with her help, allowing her to focus solely on her career. All her initial worries were being alleviated by her mother-in-law's arrival and every action she took.
"There are some troubles, but I have a good mother-in-law. Military marriages are protected, so I don't have to worry about anyone interfering. He is very busy with work and we don't have much time to spend together. I have my own job and I don't accompany him to the military base, so I don't seem to have the same troubles as other families."
"Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up for talking like that? Ah! I also wish I had a mother-in-law like Aunt Yang, so I wouldn't have to worry about the troubles that come with marriage."
Fan Juan couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Xianjun and Liao Yuanjie came out to move firewood together and overheard their conversation. Although there was a wall between them, the open air made it difficult to block out sound.
"If you were to become Liao Yuanjie's revolutionary partner, it seems there would be no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts, and his sisters are also very busy."
"He is indeed a good person, but I still want to focus on my career. My years of hard work are not for marrying into a good family, but to use my strengths to contribute to the progress of this society."
Fan Juan was very clear-headed.
Separated by a wall, Shen Xianjun patted Liao Yuanjie on the shoulder, then carried firewood to the kitchen to continue his work.
Liao Yuanjie stared at the wall for a long time. Giving up was out of the question. His mother died early, and his father never remarried. It would be hard to find a mother-in-law like Aunt Yang. But he also had his advantages!
The men of the Liao family are so loyal!
"Do you think if I apply to work in the mess hall for a few months, I can learn to cook well?"
Liao Yuanjie suddenly spoke, and Shen Xianjun's hand trembled slightly before he burst into laughter.
"Didn't you not believe me before?"
When Liao Yuanjie heard Shen Xianjun laughing, he quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth. "Doesn't he have any shame?"
"Do you think there's a chance for someone of your level to be assigned to the mess hall?"
"So how did you get there?"
Liao Yuanjie was curious.
“When I was a recruit, I was good at cooking during field training, so I was transferred to the mess hall. Also, my mother never spoiled me. Whether the food was good or not, I had to cook when she was busy, otherwise we would all go hungry.”
His grandmother even had a fight in the village over this matter, saying that his mother was unfilial. Now that he thinks about it, he was already eight years old at the time and had been spoiled by his grandmother. If his mother hadn't been so firm, he probably wouldn't be where he is today.
For the first time, Shen Xianjun felt that he was a terrible person when he was a child. His mother disliked him but didn't abandon him. She was definitely his biological mother.
When the mutton was almost cooked, Shen Xianjun put the radish in.
Hu Jun and Lin Hui rode their bicycles to meet Yang Yufen, who was still busy at the meeting place. After locking their bicycles, they went over to help.
"Aunt Yang, I'm here to have dinner at your house tonight. You won't mind, will you?"
Lin Hui stepped forward to help move the table.
"No problem, no problem at all. It's more lively with more people."
Yang Yufen took one look at Lin Hui, and she had a very deep impression of this kid.
After closing the shop, the group returned to the courtyard. Dean Hu was already chatting with Commander Liao, with Qin Nian and Fan Juan accompanying them. A group of children surrounded them, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Mom, Big Brother, you're back! Perfect timing, time to start dinner."
Shen Xianjun and Liao Yuanjie carried the table out. With more people, it was more spacious to eat outside in the courtyard, and the children also had a place to run and play.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Lin Hui greeted Shen Xianjun; the two had been living in different places since they began their advanced studies.
What brings you here?
Shen Xianjun hadn't forgotten Lin Hui; during his studies, this guy was the one who caused him the most trouble.
