Ning Mingde: "!!!"
He was ecstatic.
Looked at Maodaner excitedly.
Just as I was about to ask something, I saw Maodaner suddenly stand up and rush to the door with a small bag in his arms.
Before leaving, she stopped and turned to look at him.
She said uncomfortably, "My grandma told you to rest more and stop focusing on work."
Damn it? Damn, I don’t care about that! Chief Ning thought.
Old Lady Ning was like every other mother in the world. If she didn't see her son, she would be disgusted if she saw him too much. She was especially dissatisfied when she saw him not knowing how to get along with his grandson.
After saying this, Maodan quickened his pace and left the study quickly.
"Dad knows. Thank you for your concern, son." Commander Ning raised his voice, his tone full of excitement.
Oh, my son calls me dad and cares about me.
Ning Mingde's voice was loud and passed through the crack in the door of the study room and reached the ears of Old Lady Ning.
The old lady couldn't stop laughing.
finally!
Successful.
Let Maodaner call him dad willingly.
Old Mrs. Ning complained in her heart.
As soon as Maodaner went out, he saw his grandmother's face which was full of satisfaction and a bit complicated, and his face turned red.
"Grandma, why are you here?"
The child had a stunned expression, his mouth slightly open, his fur a little ruffled, like a spoiled black cat whose tail had been stepped on, his eyes showing a hint of alertness and a hint of guilt.
"..." Old Mrs. Ning looked helpless. "What can I do? I'm just passing by. Why are you feeling so guilty?"
Maodan'er's face froze.
Old Lady Ning gave her grandson some face and didn't dwell on the matter. She walked out slowly, muttering, "It's just calling dad, what's there to be embarrassed about? This child... is really awkward."
Maodaner heard it clearly, and the blush on the little boy's face deepened.
Take a deep breath.
"Grandma, I heard it!"
Don't be so loud when you whisper!
Old Mrs. Ning did it on purpose, of course she had to let him hear it.
"I heard it! Tell me, are you feeling uncomfortable?" She looked at her grandson, full of energy.
Only after arriving at the military region did Grandma Ning realize how promising her son was!
Mingde hired a live-in aunt to do the laundry and cooking. She didn't have to do anything, wasn't familiar with the neighbors, and had no mood to go out and socialize. Watching her son and grandson make fun of her became the old lady's only hobby.
Maodaner couldn't argue with his grandma, so he sighed heavily and rushed back to his room.
Aunt Wang saw this and was very helpless, "You are teasing Maodan again."
"A big ice cube gave birth to a small ice cube." Old Mrs. Ning joked.
He added, "If I don't tease him, he'll have a sullen face every day and just stay home. He's become a numb person!"
Aunt Wang would not say that the host family's child has a bad temper. As a grandmother, she can say whatever she wants. She is a worker and has to know her limits.
"There's nothing wrong with being quiet and patient. There are a lot of naughty kids in the staff housing complex, and there's noise at home every day, which isn't good either," she said.
Old Lady Ning smiled and said, "I actually hope Maodan can be more lively."
Thinking of the twins from the Gu family, I hope Lin Zhao can take the children with her to join the army as soon as possible.
Aunt Wang said nothing more.
…
Maodaner returned to the house and opened his bag. There were so many colorful banknotes in it that the children were dazzled.
He can send lots of letters to the twins.
The child smiled, revealing his cute little fangs.
He took out fifty cents and put the rest of the money into the drawer. Maodaner took the letter, put on his backpack and left the house.
Walk straight outside.
Seeing this, Old Lady Ning said, "It's time for dinner, where are you going?"
"Go find Meng Jingmo and send a letter to Yubao and Hengbao." Maodaner explained.
"Come back soon."
Maodaner responded and left briskly.
Old Mrs. Ning had a smile in her eyes.
I really like the Gu family’s twins. I’m so happy just to send them a letter.
She couldn't even imagine how excited her grandson would be when Yu Bao and Heng Bao came.
Maodaner came to the Meng family with ease.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
There was a regular knock on the door.
Jing Mo immediately realized who it was and ran out.
"Mao Dan'er..."
Maodaner got straight to the point and asked, "I want to send a letter to Yubao and Hengbao. Are you coming?"
Meng Jiusi came out and happened to hear these words, and couldn't help laughing.
This kid is more active than him.
"We want to go too. Give me the letter and I'll mail it." Meng Jiusi said in a gentle voice.
Maodaner hesitated, "Is it okay?"
I hope it won’t be lost. He’s thinking too much.
"Okay." Meng Jiusi didn't know what the child was thinking and emphasized again.
Maodaner thought for a moment, took out the letter from his bag, smoothed the wrinkles on the envelope, handed it over with both hands, and politely thanked him, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Meng."
"It's okay." Meng Jiusi said.
They were about to go out, planning to mail the letter and go to the cafeteria for lunch.
I can walk with Maodaner for a while.
On the way, the two children were chatting about this and that.
As I was walking, I saw a mother and daughter in front of me. The woman who looked like the mother was poking the little girl's head and scolding her.
"Can you please walk faster? At this rate, the store will be closing soon!" Su Yuxian's face was filled with impatience, and she wanted to slap her annoying stepdaughter twice. How could she have thought before that... this burden was likable.
Definitely possessed!
Several months had passed since Lu Baozhen's "acting like a ghost," and time had proven that she had become just another ordinary child. Su Yuxian's fear had vanished, and she now disliked her stepdaughter in various ways, disliking her for free. She'd put on a show of putting on a good show when Lu Yizhou was around, but once he left, she'd intensify her beatings and scolding of Lu Baozhen.
Old Lady Lu knew that her granddaughter was not living a good life, but since Lu Baozhen was not a grandson and had no good fortune, she just pretended not to see it.
Lu Baozhen didn't have enough food to eat and suffered from mental stress from time to time. Although she had been in the military region for such a long time, she hadn't gained any weight, her cheeks were still sunken, and her eyes were lifeless.
Maodaner recognized the person in front of him and exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Baozhen?"
Lu Baozhen turned around and saw him, with a look of strangeness in her eyes.
"You don't recognize me?" Maodan was stunned. "I'm Maodan, Maodan from the Harvest Brigade."
Su Yuxian didn't recognize Mao Dan'er at first sight——
He had changed a lot. He had gained weight, was wearing new clothes, and was carrying a small satchel that was only carried by children of cadres. His hair was cut neatly, and his eyes were bright. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the child of the regiment commander.
How could this be the kid from the Harvest Brigade, who had dog-bitten hair, dressed like a beggar, was skinny, and rarely spoke?
"Mao Dan'er?" Su Yuxian's eyes widened, a look of surprise on his face. "Why are you here?!"
Maodaner glanced at her and said, "My father and I are here to join the army."
"Dad? Didn't your father die a long time ago?!" Su Yuxian blurted out.
This made Maodan unhappy.
"My father is not dead, my father is fine!" Maodan said with a cold face.
Jing Mo could understand Maodan'er's feelings and explained for him, "Maodan'er's father was away on a mission and didn't come home. He came back after completing the mission. Maodan'er's father was very kind to him and took him and his grandmother to join the army!"
It’s so annoying when adults talk without knowing the situation!
Su Yuxian could guess with just a little bit of guessing that the Ning family had made a comeback.
Maodan'er's father is a veteran and can still stay in the army. He should be a regimental commander at least now, right?
The more I think about it, the hotter my heart becomes.
Her eyes sparkled, and a warm smile appeared on her face. "Mao Dan'er, where do you live? We're from the same place, so we should help each other. I'll come to your house someday to get to know you."
"I came to the military area earlier than you did. I know a lot of things you don't know. I can help you."
Maodaner looked at her calmly, his dark eyes seemed to be able to reveal the falsehood in people's hearts.
"No need." He refused. For him, rejecting others was as easy as breathing.
Su Yuxian's smile froze on his face.
You ungrateful bastard!
If it weren't for his father's sake, who would care about him? !
Maodaner looked at Lu Baozhen and frowned, "You are so thin."
Thinner than he's ever been.
These words are not emotional at all, they are purely statements of fact.
"Aren't you full?" Maodaner felt strange. After he came to the military area, he ate very full at every meal and could even eat meat from time to time.
Can’t Lu Baozhen’s battalion commander father support her?
A big question mark appeared on the palm-sized face.
Lu Baozhen glanced at her stepmother secretly but didn't dare to nod.
She can't eat enough!
I don’t have enough to eat every day!
Lu Baozhen calls out to Lili in her heart every night, hoping to return to the past and live a life with an egg every day and endless candies. But Lili, who could fulfill all her little wishes... never appeared again.
She cried herself to sleep every night.
Su Yuxian was not afraid of Lu Baozhen's nonsense.
She said helplessly, "Baozhen is picky about food and very pretentious. She won't eat this or that. There's nothing I can do about it. She can't hold any weight on her body."
Maodan was skeptical.
Is that so?
He didn't ask any more questions, as the Lu family's affairs had nothing to do with him.
Meng Jiusi's gaze passed over Su Yuxian and fell on Lu Baozhen's face.
Picky about food? How can someone be picky about food when they can't even get enough to eat? Even if they lie, they can't find a decent excuse.
"Let's go." He said.
Su Yuxian asked Mao Daner: "What is this...?"
After she opened the military district, she had no job. Apart from tending to the vegetable garden, she spent the rest of her time on "diplomacy".
Anyone with a little status tries to build relationships with others, and they don't have a good reputation in the residential building.
Meng Jiusi's identity was no secret, so Mao Daner didn't hide it and said, "A new doctor at the military hospital."
Doctor, it’s a golden rice bowl!
Su Yuxian's eyes lit up.
It’s great to join the army. I can meet many great people.
Look, she even knows the doctors in the military hospital!
Lin Zhao definitely didn't know such a boastful person.
She still has the upper hand.
"You look so young." Su Yuxian didn't take Meng Jiusi's indifference to heart and caught up with him to build a relationship with him.
"Is this your son?" She glanced at Meng Jingmo and Meng Guangbai and praised, "He looks really smart."
Meng Jingmo: “…”
noob:"?"
Maodaner was confused.
?o?o?
Should I tell her that Uncle Meng is Aunt Lin’s brother?
After thinking about it, Maodaner didn't say anything. Let her be happy first. When Aunt Lin comes to join the army, she will know everything!
Meng Jiusi felt that Su Yuxian was noisy, and looked at her sideways with a cold look in his eyes, "Could you please stop arguing, comrade? You are a bit... noisy."
The smile on Su Yuxian's face almost disappeared.
She laughed awkwardly, "Look at me, I've forgotten the time while talking. We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
He barely managed to save his dignity and left in a hurry.
When the family members in the staff building saw this scene, they laughed out loud behind Su Yuxian's back.
"That new doctor is being pestered by the Lu family's daughter-in-law. Baozhen's stepmother is hilarious. She's trying to get close to everyone and doesn't even know what's going on."
"You vixen, you tried to hook up with my wife before, but I pushed you back!"
"Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's mother doesn't care about her daughter-in-law. If this continues, the Lu family's reputation will be ruined!"
"Of course I didn't. I kept hearing Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's mother scolding her, but what could I do? She just let it go in one ear and out the other, not taking it seriously at all."
A sister-in-law from a big city fanned her nose with her hand and said proudly, "That's how people from the countryside are. They've never seen the world and want to curry favor with everyone they see. Humph, what an ugly face."
…
Su Yuxian didn't know that her efforts to build relationships were treated as a joke by other military wives. She still thought she was very capable and could get along well with everyone.
Meng Jiusi and others got rid of Su Yuxian and were able to have peace of mind.
Jing Mo felt that Maodan'er's attitude towards the man just now was strange, and looked at him, "Isn't that someone from your team? Don't you like her?"
"I don't like it, but I don't hate it either." To Maodan, it was just a stranger. How could he have likes or dislikes for a stranger? Not really.
Thinking of the twins, he said, "Yubao and Hengbao don't like her, nor do they like Lu Baozhen."
Jing Mo hurriedly asked, "Why?"
Xiaobai also looked over.
"They think Lu Baozhen is annoying and crybaby," Maodaner explained.
Jing Mo immediately stated, "Then I don't like her either. I won't play with her anymore!"
Yu Bao and Heng Bao are his cousins, so he has to be in the same camp with them, otherwise he would be a traitor.
He not only demands this of himself, but also of his younger brother.
"Xiaobai, you're not allowed to play with her either. Do you hear me? Or I'll tell Yubao and Hengbao that... you were playing with their enemy."
Maodaner: “…”
They're not enemies, they just dislike me.
Xiaobai nodded seriously, "I don't want to play."
Maodaner continued, "Yubao and Hengbao also don't like Aunt Su because she bullies Aunt Lin."
Meng Jiusi looked over suddenly.
What's going on?
Was that chatterbox bullying Zhao Zhao just now?
In an instant, those eyes that had always been gentle and clear turned cold.
"How did you bully me?" he asked.
"I don't know." Maodaner shook his head and added, "Yubao said Aunt Lin didn't suffer any loss."
Meng Jiusi's brows relaxed, "I'm glad I didn't suffer any loss."
He could be wronged, suffer losses, and face the evil of anyone, but he...could not bear to see his family members being wronged, especially his sister.
Jing Mo curled his lips, "That man beats children, he's as bad as my uncle and aunt."
"Grandma is bad too!" Guangbai added in a crisp voice.
When Meng Jiusi heard his two sons talk about the Yuan family, his heart was filled with ripples.
By the way, his transfer notice should have spread throughout the factory. I wonder if they will regret it after hearing the news.
As it turns out, of course it does!
Especially Yuan Qin.
After hearing the news, she didn't even have the energy to do housework the whole day. Her soul half flew out of her body, and she wandered numbly in this world like a wandering lonely soul.
Did she do something wrong?
She should have waited and not rushed to remarry. That way, her family would have been complete, right?!
If she goes back, will Jiusi forgive her and accept her?
Yuan Qin asked herself repeatedly.
The answer is no.
Her heart was overwhelmed with endless regret.
Kong Honghong couldn't stand her stepmother's half-hearted look and said sarcastically, "You're the one who wants to remarry, so who are you trying to show off to by acting half-hearted now?"
"No matter how good your ex-husband's job is or how bright his future is, you've already married my dad!"
"You are now the daughter-in-law of the Kong family. Don't do anything shameful, or I will never let you go!"
Yuan Qin was about to say something when Old Lady Yuan came to the Kong family's door.
She pushed the door open, grabbed Yuan Qin's shoulders, and looked excited.
"Qin, have you heard? My son-in-law's job has been transferred to another company and he's now working in a military hospital!"
News spread quickly in the factory, and everyone who should know knew that Meng Jiusi's work relationship had been transferred.
They only knew that his connections had been transferred to a military region, but which one it was was kept secret, and no one knew except a few leaders.
"I know." Yuan Qin was numb, with resentment flowing from her eyes. "Then what?"
"Then?" Old Lady Yuan poked her forehead with her finger, looking so disappointed. "What do you think? Why are you so stupid? Of course I'll go find him."
Yuan Qin looked at her mother ridiculously, "Mom, have you forgotten that I remarried? I married Kong Wu and am now the daughter-in-law of the Kong family."
Old Mrs. Yuan said confidently, "What's wrong with remarrying? It's not like you can't get a divorce."
Ever since she lost the cloth bag containing her money, the Yuan family had a hard time. In just a few days, her face became sunken and she looked more and more mean and difficult.
Kong Honghong's voice rose, "We can't leave!"
