Chapter 102 Is your gratitude just lip service?
Ever since Gou Yuexiang and Xu Nuo had a quarrel last time, Zheng Huangen beat his two sons severely, smashed the telescope, and scolded Zhuang Tian.
Therefore, Zhuang Tian was unhappy and did not come to the compound for a while.
Gou Yuexiang has been quarreling and getting angry with Zheng Huangen these days because Zhuang Tian didn't come back.
She was angry and didn't plan to cook dinner today. She heard someone knocking on the door. When she opened the door, she saw Zhuang Tian right in front of her.
Gou Yuexiang was overjoyed: "You're back! Tiantian, come in quickly! I was just saying that I won't cook for your damn uncle and those three bastards tonight. Let them eat in the cafeteria. Now that you're back, I'll make you something delicious."
"Aunt, I have no appetite." Zhuang Tian looked listless.
She threw her bag on the sofa and sat on it.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was unhappy, Gou Yuexiang couldn't help but worry.
It would have been fine if she hadn't asked. But when she did, Zhuang Tian burst into tears: "Aunt, I was punished today."
"Don't cry, don't cry. Tell me quickly, what happened? Aren't you very hardworking? Why did you get punished?"
Zhuang Tian sobbed: "It's all because of Xu Nuo!!"
"Xu Nuo?! Why is it because of her again? This woman is really haunting us? What's going on? Tell me and I'll help you vent your anger." Gou Yuexiang stood up and rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight.
"Aunt, what can you do? Have you forgotten the last time she made you speechless?"
"Forgot? How could I forget? It's so shameful, so shameful!" Gou Yuexiang was so angry when she mentioned it, pointing at the dilapidated house and said, "We were originally living in a building, but I don't know what Captain Lu said to your uncle. After he came back, he insisted on moving out, and look, he moved here."
"This place is bigger than the upstairs, it's actually not bad." Zhuang Tian could see that Gou Yuexiang was very angry, and didn't want to make her even angrier, so she just said a few perfunctory words.
"What a bullshit! Look at this house... Haven't I lived in the countryside long enough? Why am I living here?"
This time they moved to an old house not far from the small vegetable garden in the northeast corner.
This house is where the big leaders lived in the past few years. It has a small courtyard and three brick houses.
The place is big and the yard is spacious, but it is inconvenient to use the toilet.
A few years ago, all the leaders of the division headquarters who lived in this courtyard moved away to another staff housing compound, and these old houses were left behind.
Gou Yuexiang doesn't like this house, but the military wives who come from the countryside and bring four or five children with them dislike the crowded upstairs and prefer to live in this kind of courtyard.
"Aunt, please don't talk about this house. I'm in a bad mood. Can you comfort me?"
"How can I comfort you?" Gou Yuexiang was a little worried. "It's no use for me to comfort you. If I want you to be happy, I have to get this job, right?"
"Yeah." Zhuang Tian nodded and admitted, "But it seems difficult. Director Guo said that my uncle asked someone to find her. But her meaning is... it's difficult. Now that I've been punished, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."
"The fact that you haven't been fired proves that you still have a chance."
"Aunt, how can you still be so naive! I'm not fired right now, but it's only a matter of time before I leave."
Gou Yuexiang's eyes rolled, and a bad idea came to her mind: "How about this, I'll go find a fortune teller and ask him to tell my fortune for me."
“Great Immortal!!!” Upon hearing this, Zhuang Tian’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Yes, the immortal is omnipotent! Let the immortal transfer all the good luck he promised to you!" Gou Yuexiang said, "I remember there was a way to destroy a person's good luck, black dog blood or dung soup would work."
"Aunt, you are engaging in feudal superstition! You are doing this in the military compound. Do you think my uncle is doing his job too smoothly?"
Zhuang Tian was almost speechless.
Her aunt is the person who loves her the most and treats her the best. She is very happy and satisfied with this.
But, my aunt is the most stupid person in the family. Why would she do anything else but organize this kind of activity?
If people knew about this, my uncle-in-law would be in trouble.
Now it was Gou Yuexiang's turn to worry: "This one won't work, that one won't work, what do you think will work?"
"Forget it, just think of it as me grumbling. I won't be fired for the time being anyway."
Just as Zhuang Tian finished complaining, Zheng Huangen came back.
"Tiantian is here? Why? Are you angry with your uncle, so you deliberately didn't come for so many days."
"No, I'm just busy these days."
"That's good."
"Bullshit!" Gou Yuexiang was very dissatisfied with her husband. "You think a grown man like you can accomplish anything every day? You can't even arrange Tiantian's work, and you still have the nerve to come back."
"What are you talking about? This is my home. Where should I go if I don't come back? If I go to sleep at another woman's house, wouldn't that be even more of a problem?" Zheng Huangen also disliked Gou Yuexiang.
Other people's wives are gentle and virtuous, why did you marry a stupid and stupid one?
I don't know what's going on in my mind all day.
"Go out and weed the vegetable garden in the northeast corner! When I came over there, I saw Political Commissar Liao working there! Go and do some work too, don't just sit there! Look at how other men care about their women? And look at what you are like?"
It just so happened that Zheng Huangen didn't want to stay at home. This atmosphere made him unhappy, so he went to the corner of the yard, picked up a hoe and started to hoe the ground.
After work, Xu Nuo returned home.
Before entering the door, I ran into Bai Qiu Ning who was carrying tools and going to weed the vegetable garden in the northeast corner.
"Xu Nuo, you've been planting these vegetables for quite some time now, you need to go and check on them. If you don't, you won't be able to harvest anything in the fall."
"Sister-in-law, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten it." Xu Nuo said with a smile, "Then wait for me, I'll put down my bag and go with you."
"Okay, hurry up then."
As soon as Xu Nuo entered the house, he smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine coming from the kitchen. A few days ago, the Chinese medicine for replenishing blood and qi sent by her mother-in-law Cheng Wanying had arrived, but because there was no clay pot at home, she had never boiled the medicine.
I smelled something today. Could it be that Lu Chen was making medicine?
Sure enough, she hung up her bag and was about to go to the kitchen to check the situation when Lu Chen came out with a bowl of black Chinese medicine soup.
"Hey, you came back so early today?" Xu Nuo was a little surprised.
"I haven't been too busy in the army lately, and I thought about the Chinese medicine that I haven't boiled yet, so I went to buy a clay pot to boil it for you. I'll put it here and let it cool down before drinking."
"Thank you! Woohoo, Lu Chen you are so kind!"
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Thank you? Your thanks are just words?"
