In a blink of an eye, Lin Yiman has been in the army for a week. Except for Wen Nuan teasing her that she can't see anyone in the morning, she has adapted well to the situation!
Men who have just started eating can be very active, so in the morning, Lin Yiman usually sleeps until almost noon. These days, even her lunch is heated up for her by Lei Hu who brings it back from the cafeteria at noon.
In the afternoon, after tidying up the house, Lin Yiman would go to Wen Nuan and chat with her. When she was at home before the New Year, she found her classmates who worked in the supply and marketing cooperative and got a lot of wool. She would knit sweaters while chatting with Wen Nuan.
Lin Yiman is very satisfied with this life. Although the man is a bit more troublesome, he treats her very well. Until now, except for washing dishes after lunch because he has no time, all other housework is done by the man.
Living so close to her little sisters and being able to visit them anytime, Lin Yiman became more and more grateful to Yang Chunhua and herself at that time!
That afternoon, Lin Yiman came to Wen Nuan's house again, carrying some peanuts and sunflower seeds that Lei Hu had brought back from somewhere.
"Sister-in-law Xiangyu is here too!"
"Yiman is here too!"
Lin Yiman greeted Wang Xiangyu, took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang. You know what, the kang was quite full and warm today. Yang Chunhua, Wang Xiaomei, Wang Xiangyu and Lin Yiman were all sitting in a circle.
"Haha, we have everyone here today. It would be great if we had playing cards!" Wen Nuan said with a smile, leaning on the folded bedding.
"Forget about playing cards. I do have peanuts and sunflower seeds!" Lin Yiman opened the peanuts and sunflower seeds she had brought and placed them in the middle.
"Sister Xiangyu, please continue!" Seeing that Lin Yiman had sat down, Wang Xiaomei couldn't help but urge Wang Xiangyu to continue talking about what she had just said.
"What were you talking about just now?" Lin Yiman asked curiously.
"Hi, Xiangyu was just telling us about the family quarters at the foot of the mountain," Yang Chunhua grabbed a handful of peanuts and gave them to Wen Nuan to eat.
"What's the matter? Tell it again. I didn't hear it before." It's no wonder that Lin Yiman is gossiping. It's really too boring. They can't go out because it's cold. There was a heavy snow a few days ago, and there was nowhere to go. These people have been feeling depressed for a long time!
"Okay, I'll start over!" Since she had nothing to do, she might as well start over. Wang Xiangyu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started over again.
"There is a family at the foot of our mountain. The man is also a company commander. His surname is Ma. His mother, wife and daughter all followed the army. But within half a month, he became famous in the family members' area!"
"It is said that his wife was a child bride. She has been serving the whole family like a slave since she was young. She works more than a cow, eats less than a chicken, and sleeps later than a dog. How pitiful!"
“How miserable!”
“How pitiful!”
"What a useless family!"
"That's right!"
"That's how it was. They grew up with bumps and bruises. When they were old enough, they didn't hold a wedding banquet, but just consummated their marriage. After consummating the marriage, Captain Ma went to the army, leaving his young wife alone in the den of wolves and tigers. However, the wife was also very determined. She found out she was pregnant just two months after the consummation of the marriage. Life finally got a little better, but it didn't last long. When the child was born, it turned out to be a girl, and life became even more miserable than before!"
"Captain Ma never went home all year round. Later, his father died and the women couldn't live at home anymore, so he went back and brought everyone to follow the army. Logically, the life of his daughter-in-law should have been better after they came to follow the army, but he didn't expect that her mother-in-law was an old pious woman who was unreasonable and beat or scolded her daughter-in-law all day long, and even didn't let her seven or eight-year-old granddaughter go."
"You don't know, that little granddaughter is seven or eight years old, but she doesn't even look as old as an average child of four or five! Moreover, I heard from the people in the family quarters that the little granddaughter's body is covered with bruises. It's simply a sin!"
The audience was filled with indignation.
"She is also a woman. How can she treat her daughter-in-law and granddaughter like this!" Wang Xiaomei said hatefully.
"That's right, especially the little granddaughter. Isn't she her family's blood? Why should she be abused like this?" Yang Chunhua also sighed.
"She is just bad!"
"Sister Ma doesn't care?"
"What's the point of caring? She admits her fault as soon as I tell her, but continues to abuse her as soon as I leave. If I say something more serious, the old woman will roll on the ground and throw a tantrum, saying that Sister Ma looks down on country people and bullies her. She's making Sister Ma lose face!"
"Then Captain Ma doesn't care?"
"He was a blind man. When Instructor Zhang found him, he went home and said a few words, really just a few words, and let his mother abuse him as she wished. Later, the people in the family quarters got used to it, and the days just passed!"
"In fact, it's because Captain Ma's wife is too cowardly. If she had stood up for herself, Captain Ma's mother wouldn't have dared to abuse her and her daughter like that!"
"Who says it's not true? This is why there must be something hateful about pitiful people!"
"Yes, but the recent commotion in Captain Ma's family is not because of this," Wang Xiangyu kept it a secret.
"Why, sister-in-law?"
"Hey, sister-in-law, please tell me!"
"Xiangyu, tell me quickly!"
"Well, let me tell you about it!" Wang Xiangyu had kept everyone in suspense for a long time, so she cleared her throat and continued, but she talked about the appearance of Captain Ma. "Captain Ma, although his children are seven or eight years old, his actual age is about the same as Jianshe and Lei Hu, that is, twenty-five or twenty-six years old. In addition, he trains in the army every day, so his figure is still very impressive, and of course he is also popular among old ladies!"
"Puff!" Wen Nuan just took a sip of water and sprayed it all out!
"Oh, Xiangyu, don't write such nonsense, your sister is still here!" Yang Chunhua said as she wiped Wen Nuan's mouth with a towel.
"Ahem, no more, no more," Wang Xiangyu said awkwardly. She knew that what she said just now was inappropriate, so she quickly continued, "Captain Ma looks like a decent man, and now someone has taken a fancy to him!"
"Someone's noticed?!"
"Who is it? I wonder if he's married?"
"Who is so blind?"
"Sister-in-law Xiangyu, please speak quickly!"
"Who else? It's the divorced daughter of Commander Wu!"
"Who is this again?"
"How did they meet each other?"
"Why did this woman get divorced?"
"Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me!"
"Well, this daughter of Commander Wu is 28 years old this year. She was married before. Her husband was also a soldier in our army, and he was a regiment commander. Unfortunately, she had a bad life. During a mission, she injured her leg and had to have it amputated. Then she retired and returned to her hometown to work as a security chief in a factory!"
"Isn't this good? The head of the security department is still an official!"
"yes!"
"But Mr. Wu's daughter doesn't think it's good!"
