Chapter 63
"Sure, sure."
Uncle Mao smiled naively, feeling very grateful to Tang Wan for bringing him such a big business.
Just when the atmosphere was just right, a strange voice interrupted.
"Oh, so many cabinets, it's a waste of money, this is a hedonistic style, it's not good."
Qiu Dazao's voice was particularly annoying, and the harmonious atmosphere just now was instantly destroyed.
Someone immediately echoed Qiu Dazao, "Yes, yes, my husband said we should save money on this because our family is poor."
"We can't follow this lifestyle and build a cabinet and just put it anywhere in the house."
"Look, she's still riding a bicycle. She's already spent all her allowance as the deputy commander of the army."
“…”
It’s just a few cabinets, and not everyone thinks so, but some people don’t dare to offend Qiu Dazao.
"My chest of drawers is made of the simplest wood from the mountains. It doesn't have any fancy designs. It's just for storage."
Tang Wan calmly said to the flustered Fourth Uncle Mao, "Fourth Uncle, there are many people in your team who use this cabinet, right?"
"yes."
Uncle Mao scratched his head in a naive manner and said, "Not only the members of our brigade, but also the educated youth who went to the countryside use it.
It’s not something fancy, it’s just that I made it to be solid and durable.”
Uncle Mao didn't know that Qiu Dazao was the head of the regiment's mother, he just knew to tell the truth.
"Did you hear that?"
Zhang Hongyan put her hands on her waist and said, "Every household uses this product, why can't we use it?"
She then said to Fourth Uncle Mao, "Brother Mao, I also want a wardrobe and a chest of drawers like this.
Without a cabinet, I have no place to put the dishes and chopsticks. My children are naughty and I am afraid they will get the dishes dirty. "
She sounded particularly righteous, as if to say, if you have the guts go ahead and report it.
They are not afraid.
Qiu Dazao was choked and when he saw Tang Wanzheng and Zhang Hongyan laughing, he became so angry that he lost his mind.
"She dresses up like a seductress all day long, and I don't know who she's trying to hook up with!"
These words made everyone freeze, and their eyes fell on Tang Wan.
She was pretty, and even when she wore a very ordinary plaid dress with dark green pants, her face looked lively and pretty.
With the nourishment of Lu Huaijing last night, Tang Wan's little face was rosy and her big eyes were full of light. She was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes away.
But it is not the seductiveness that Qiu Dazao described, but pure and dazzling.
"Aunt Xu, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want."
Lu Huaijing, who had heard the noise in the house, walked out. It was not appropriate for him to interfere in women's affairs.
But he can't insult his wife.
"My wife is naturally beautiful. I can't smear mud on my face just because others are jealous of her beauty and feel inferior, right?"
The man looked serious and his words made everyone laugh and cry, and Qiu Dazao's face turned red.
"puff……"
Zhang Hongyan couldn't help laughing and said to Tang Wan, who had red lips and white teeth:
"Your deputy commander Lu is a man who protects his wife, unlike my old Wang, who is a wooden stake."
"sister in law."
Tang Wan's face flushed at the teasing. She glanced at Lu Huaijing who was bandaging his face and said angrily:
"What truth are you telling?"
"You are naturally pretty."
Lu Huaijing was gently touched by her eyes, and his heart was filled with sweetness. His daughter-in-law is the best.
Seeing them flirting with each other in broad daylight, Qiu Dazao spat, "Shameless!"
"Aunt Xu!"
Lu Huaijing was really angry, his eyes were sharp, "My wife and I are a legally married couple.
Who said that we husband and wife can’t look each other in the eye in public? "
To be able to become a deputy regiment commander at such a young age, Lu Huaijing had been on the battlefield and killed people.
When his usually restrained aura was released, not only Qiu Dazao but also the military wives present were shocked.
"I……"
Qiu Dazao didn't dare to look at Lu Huaijing again. At this moment, Xia Qing appeared with Xu Qiao.
"Mom, Heping and Weimin are crying out that they are hungry. Go back and cook for them."
"Oh, okay."
Qiu Dazao, who often quarreled with Xia Qing, ran away very fast this time, fearing that Lu Huaijing would lose his temper.
The other wives of soldiers who were watching the excitement also said awkwardly: "We are still warming up the food at home, we can't let it get burnt."
"I have a cupboard at home, so I won't fight."
“…”
Everyone ran as fast as they could. Zhang Hongyan rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"They are all bullies who only care about the weak and fear the strong."
Perhaps because Tang Wan had helped her on the train, she particularly liked Tang Wan and naturally stood firmly on her side.
"I'm sorry, my wife, Old Xu, is a person who loves to take advantage of others.
You can't stand seeing others doing well, and you always pick on you. I'll talk to Old Xu about it later."
Xia Qing looked like a well-educated person with a good personality. Tang Wan felt that she and Captain Xu were not the same kind of people.
She shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, she just can't stand me. It has nothing to do with you."
"If I wasn't pregnant, Old Xu wouldn't have asked her to come over and help take care of the baby."
Xia Qing sighed lightly. Fortunately, Qiaoqiao was an obedient child. She would come to her every time her mother-in-law got into trouble.
"Given your mother-in-law's temper, you have to take good care of the baby in your belly."
Zhang Hongyan has a straightforward personality, and considering how much Qiu Dazao cares about his two older grandsons, he will definitely be partial to one in the future.
"Thank you for the reminder, sister-in-law."
Xia Qing smiled at them, then took Xu Qiao away. Zhang Hongyan couldn't help shaking her head.
"How could such a good lesbian marry a divorced man who is much older than her and has three children?"
"Maybe she has her own ideas."
Tang Wan had no intention of prying into Xia Qing's private affairs. Zhang Hongyan handed the money to Uncle Mao and hurried home to cook for the children.
Uncle Mao agreed with Tang Wan on the next delivery time, and Tang Wan also ordered a wooden barrel.
She likes to take a bath, and she can secretly use the space at night.
Everyone in the yard left. Tang Wan looked at Zhang Hongyan's house and asked Lu Huaijing in a low voice.
"Why didn't you invite Political Commissar Wang to dinner yesterday?"
"He has been attending meetings these past two days and is not in the army."
Lu Huaijing closed the gate and they went to the kitchen together. The closet was quite large, just enough to store all the bottles and jars in the kitchen.
Even the food in the house can be locked in the cupboard.
Perhaps because of last night's conversation, Lu Huaijing's eyes looked at Tang Wan more tenderly.
This made Tang Zhou, who was burning the fire, feel that the atmosphere was weird.
"Can we have noodles for dinner?"
Tang Wan naturally rolled up her sleeves and took out the dough from the basin. She had prepared it before going to Maozhuang Brigade.
"sure."
Lu Huaijing grinned upon hearing this and said, "I'll go get some ginger and scallions."
He quickly disappeared into the kitchen. Every household in the courtyard planted ginger, onions and garlic in their own plots.
It’s just that Tang Wan is not familiar with everyone, so she has never looked for anyone else.
When Lu Huaijing came back with the ginger and scallions, Tang Wan had already fried a few eggs.
Lu Huaijing chopped the ginger and scallions and put the Tang Wan noodles into the pot. Soon, three bowls of super simple egg noodles were ready.
Although it is very simple, it is very fragrant, with good color, aroma and taste. Just looking at Lu Huaijing makes me feel greedy.
