Chapter 29 Chapter 29 "Dazhu and I will follow the army."...

Hearing Jiang Qiuyue say this, Lin Zhengrong suddenly became nervous, "What do you think?"

"I didn't want to move to a new environment before because I felt I was already familiar with the place and it would be troublesome to move around so often. Besides, Aunt Niu and her family are very nice people. After moving, no one knows what the new neighbors will be like."

Every move was a gamble, but now Jiang Qiuyue had to make a choice. "If it was just me, I wouldn't mind. I would fight back when the enemy came and block the water with earth. But Beibei and Nannan are still so young. If someone sets their sights on them, I can't defend myself."

"Who?" Lin Zhengrong frowned.

Jiang Qiuyue relayed Jiang Xiahe's words, "Auntie Niu also reminded me that Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui will be back soon. They are not good people either. Lin Erzhu and Qian Li are smart and know how to be afraid, but these two may not be the same."

"You're right. No matter how many bad guys there are in the military compound, if things get out of hand, there are still troops to take care of it. It's not like in the village, where there are a lot of gossipy people. So I decided that I would take my children with me to follow the army!"

Having made up her mind, Jiang Qiuyue will never regret it.

She is a forward-looking person, and all her choices are for a better life. Of course, she uses the living expenses given by Lin Zhengrong, and she also has to be responsible for the two children.

Lin Zhengrong raised his thin lips slightly. He didn't need to try to persuade Jiang Qiuyue. These things in the village pushed Jiang Qiuyue to join the army.

It’s good to join the army. After joining the army, let’s see how those young men will still call you “Sister Qiuyue”?

At this moment, Lin Zhengrong was only thinking about the young men in the village, but forgot that there were more unmarried young people in the army.

But that’s a story for later. Right now, Lin Zhengrong is very excited. “I’m going to call Political Commissar Wang and ask him to help me apply for a house!”

"Don't worry, let's go tomorrow." Jiang Qiuyue saw that it was getting late, "One or two days won't make a difference, it will be dark soon."

"It's a pity that I just built the wall and the kitchen. No, I have to think of a way, otherwise as soon as we leave, the house will definitely be occupied by Wang Chunhua!"

Jiang Qiuyue didn't want to give advantage to Wang Chunhua's family.

Jiang Qiuyue went to make dinner first. She mixed the batter and cut some diced mushrooms and scallops. She would not cook at night, but would eat while boiling the pot.

When the water in the pot is boiling, pour the batter along the side of the pot, close the lid and wait for it to simmer, then scoop it into the pot. Repeat this process several times, and when pouring the batter for the last time, add the mushrooms and dried scallops and cook together.

Add chopped water spinach and chopped green onions before serving. It’s a pity there is no meat, otherwise some minced meat and shrimp would make the soup more delicious.

Jiang Qiuyue likes spicy food, so she added a spoonful of chopped pepper sauce and a handful of fried sauerkraut. It tasted sour and spicy, perfect for eating in the summer when you have no appetite.

The two children learned to eat spicy food from Jiang Qiuyue and also added chopped pepper sauce. They ate until they were sweating and even drank up the soup.

Jiang Qiuyue prepared some hot water and asked them to take a shower first. She went back to her room to figure out what to take away and what to give away.

At the same time, at the Jiang family, Yun Lang came over and said, "Mom, I know it's not easy for you these years. Let's not worry about some things. Let the past be the past, otherwise you will feel wronged when you think about it."

His words "It's not easy" touched Fang Zhaodi's heart. After being married to the Jiang family for so many years, Jiang Yuanzong had never said such words.

"Yes, you are right. The person is dead, what else can we do?" No matter how much she hated Yu Qingqing, she couldn't just dig her out and scold her. Looking at the reasonable Yun Lang, Fang Zhaodi felt fortunate that the Yun family had a reasonable person.

Fang Zhaodi was crying, and Yunlang turned around to look for someone, but didn't see Jiang Xiahe, "Mom, where's Xiahe?"

"I don't know, she should be in the kitchen." The second daughter was always quiet and did things silently. Fang Zhaodi's attention was elsewhere all day long and she never paid attention to her second daughter.

"You should have a good rest and take care of your old body. Yaozu still depends on you." Yunlang mentioned Jiang Yaozu very considerately. Fang Zhaodi then felt that Yunlang was a good person who could understand her difficulties.

After comforting Fang Zhaodi, Yunlang went to look for Jiang Xiahe. There was no one in the kitchen. Finally, he saw Jiang Xiahe in the vegetable garden. He looked around and made sure that no one was there before he went over. "Someone said that you went to Taohua Village today. Why did you go to Taohua Village? To look for your third sister? Didn't she no longer care about your family?"

Yun Lang asked several questions in a row while holding Jiang Xiahe's arm tightly.

"Let me go first." Jiang Xiahe was hurt.

"Answer me! What were you doing?" Yun Lang stopped pretending when there was no one else around. "Or did you say that you and your lover made an appointment to meet in Taohua Village? You felt that your father was dead and no one could take care of you, so you wanted to rekindle your relationship with him?"

Jiang Xiahe had a childhood sweetheart named Zheng Wenbin. After they became adults, Zheng Wenbin told her that his family was already preparing the betrothal gift and it would be enough in about half a year, so he asked Jiang Xiahe to wait for him.

Jiang Xiahe was very happy to marry the man she loved, especially to be able to leave her parents' home. She was looking forward to it day by day, but in the end, she was ruined by Yun Lang.

At first, Jiang Xiahe jumped across the river, but was rescued by Yunlang, who said that if she didn't marry him, he would kill Zheng Wenbin.

The Yun family has many brothers, and Jiang Xiahe knows what kind of people they are. She has no choice but to choose to marry Yun Lang.

But she hated Yunlang and prayed that he would have an accident every day.

Seeing Jiang Xiahe didn't say anything, Yun Lang's possessiveness made him furious. "Don't think I can't find out if you don't tell me. When I meet Zheng Wenbin, I will make him pay. Jiang Xiahe, don't even think about escaping from my grasp in this life. Come back honestly tomorrow morning, or I'll keep my word!"

"Yunlang, what if I don't?" Jiang Xiahe asked expressionlessly.

"Hmph, where else can you go if you don't want to? Stay in the Jiang family for the rest of your life? Do you think that's possible?" Yun Lang sneered, "Think about what happened to your dad and my mom. Having an affair will lead to death. Are you willing to let Zheng Wenbin die?"

Every word he said hit Jiang Xiahe's pain points.

Watching Yun Lang leave, Jiang Xiahe couldn't stop trembling. When she returned home, her mother really advised her to go back to the Yun family tomorrow.

"You've already married Yunlang, and the adult matter is over. Mom doesn't care about it anymore, so don't be petty."

Fang Zhaodi sighed as she spoke, "Among the four brothers of the Yun family, only Yun Lang is good. The other three are beasts. Fortunately, you married Yun Lang, otherwise I don't know what to do."

"Mom, do you really think Yunlang is a good person?" Jiang Xiahe asked.

Fang Zhaodi said as a matter of course, "Of course, among so many people, only Yunlang understands my difficulties. Although he is Yu Qingqing's son, he is different from Yu Qingqing. I see that he cares about you, so you should go back and live a good life with him and give him a few children. In the future, Mom and Yaozu will have to rely on you sisters for help."

In the end, Fang Zhaodi was still thinking about her son.

Jiang Xiahe had completely given up on her mother. She said no more and turned back to her room.

One night, Lin Zhengrong made a phone call at dawn. Wang Zhong was very happy to hear that Lin Zhengrong decided to bring his lover to join the army.

"Your call came at the right time. There just happened to be a two-bedroom apartment available. With your level, you are qualified to apply for it."

When Wang Zhong answered the phone, Chen Guowei and others were also in his office. After hanging up the phone, Chen Guowei immediately asked, "When will Zhengrong come back?"

"He didn't say anything, he just asked me to help him apply for a house first, and when he has arranged his family affairs, he will bring his wife to follow the army." Wang Zhong looked at Chen Guowei's application form, "Don't worry, the new houses in the family compound will be built, and there will definitely be one for you."

After suggesting to Lin Zhengrong that his lover join the army, Chen Guowei was also tempted. Although his rank was not as high as Lin Zhengrong's, there was still hope if he waited in line for a while.

"Thank you, Political Commissar. I have waited for so long, a few months won't make a difference. I am just curious about what kind of person Zhengrong's lover is. He rarely mentions her and is always mysterious." Chen Guowei said with a smile.

"Didn't he say that his wife is very simple?" Wang Zhong was not as curious as these young people. "When the people come, you will see them. Besides, this is Zheng Rong's lover, not an unmarried girl. What are you looking forward to?"

He waved his hand, signaling Chen Guowei and the others that they could leave.

Chen Guowei left with a smile. After leaving Political Commissar Wang's office, he thought about Lin Zhengrong's plan to bring his wife to join the army. As a good brother, he suggested, "Zhengrong usually helps us a lot. Why don't we help him clean up his house first?"

"Sure, we brothers will fuck him for two days and we will definitely clean him up!"

The others expressed their agreement. They were all comrades-in-arms and had a good relationship. They just had to wait for Lin Zhengrong's house to be approved and then they would go and pack up.

After the brothers agreed, Chen Guowei wrote a letter to Lin Zhengrong, telling him not to worry and that he would help arrange the matters concerning the family compound.

The letter did not reach Taohua Village so quickly, as the gossip from Jiangjia Village reached Jiang Qiuyue's ears first.

It was Aunt Niu who said, "I heard from Zhuangzhuang's mother's second aunt's third niece that your second brother-in-law and your second sister had a quarrel and they even came to blows. He almost strangled the other to death!"

"Ah?" Jiang Qiuyue asked what happened.

"She said that the village captain saw it, otherwise who knows what would happen. She said that your second brother-in-law was a very kind person, completely different from the other people in the Yun family, but she didn't expect that he was so mean in private. Your second sister is also a person with a hard life. She is very pitiful. I heard that she lost her child before, otherwise she would have had hope."

Aunt Niu shook her head and sighed as she spoke. In their view, having a child means hope.

Jiang Qiuyue, however, thinks that not having children is a good thing. Otherwise, having a child with Yunlang would be troublesome.

However, although Jiang Xiahe seemed silent, she was actually a person who did big things at heart. The fact that she aborted the child showed how much she hated Yun Lang.

"No one in the Yun family is good, it's impossible for someone good to suddenly appear. It just means that Yun Lang was good at pretending before." Jiang Qiuyue said.

Auntie Niu nodded and said yes, "Let's not talk about them. What do you think of the suggestion I made to you last time?"

"I was just about to tell my auntie that I have made up my mind. Dazhu and I will follow the army." Jiang Qiuyue said, "But I am a little worried. What will happen to this courtyard after I leave?"

"That's easy. Auntie will help you watch it." Auntie Niu said subconsciously.

Jiang Qiuyue said no, "I know you mean well, auntie, but you know what kind of people my parents-in-law are. Once we leave, they will definitely find ways to take the house. Even if I give you the key to keep, they will say that the relationship is broken off, so what? It is a fact that they raised Dazhu, and they are coming to live here for a while, not to take the house away. Then they will bother you every day. Auntie, you are so good to me, I can't cause you trouble."

Jiang Qiuyue knew without a doubt what her parents-in-law would do.

Aunt Niu thought about it and realized that Wang Chunhua was really that kind of person. She became worried and said, "That's true. If you let them live in the house, it will be impossible for you to come back."

"Who said it wasn't?" Jiang Qiuyue didn't want to let Wang Chunhua's family get a bargain. Houses couldn't be bought and sold these days, otherwise she could find someone to sell it. "Let's not talk about this for now. There are still a few days. Auntie, the bed in my house can't be moved. You can use it when the time comes. There are also some things. I will sort them out when the time comes. You can see what you need."

Auntie Niu was too embarrassed to ask for it. "How can I take your things? It's not easy for you and Dazhu. Take everything you can."

"That's for sure. I don't have the ability to buy a brand new home. But some things can't be moved away, so I have to leave them behind. Don't be polite to me, or else I don't know who will benefit if you leave them behind."

After that, Jiang Qiuyue whispered, "But I'm going to join the army, so please keep it a secret for me, I don't want too many people to know it first, otherwise you know the people in the village, everyone will want to take advantage of it."

"I understand. Don't worry, Auntie is the strictest person!" Auntie Niu assured with a smile.

Jiang Qiuyue didn't agree with the tight-lipped point, but she would keep it a secret for as long as possible.

Seeing Lin Zhengrong coming back with a bamboo basket, Jiang Qiuyue went over to him with a smile, "How many fish did you catch today?"

Lin Zhengrong said with a smile, covering the bamboo basket with some Houttuynia cordata, "I'll take it to the kitchen first." He didn't let Jiang Qiuyue see what was in the bamboo basket.

Jiang Qiuyue didn't think much about it at this time. Aunt Niu saw Lin Zhengrong coming back and said tactfully that she would go home first. "If you two need any help, feel free to tell me. We have been neighbors for so many years, you don't have to be polite to me."

Thinking of Jiang Qiuyue saying that the bed was for her, she felt embarrassed, but she thought that she couldn't take the bed away, and her family just needed it, so she took it. After returning home, she searched the vegetable garden and filled a basket with vegetables, and asked her grandson to send it to Jiang Qiuyue, "Put it down and come back, and don't take your aunt Jiang's food again, do you hear me?"

Nothing in anyone's home is blown by the wind. These vegetables are her gift to you, and it would be bad to take Jiang Qiuyue's bed for nothing.

Jiang Qiuyue was dragged to the kitchen by Lin Zhengrong. When she saw the hare in the bamboo basket, her eyes lit up instantly. "Did you catch it?"

No wonder I didn’t let her see it just now.

"Yes." Lin Zhengrong said, "Just when I started fishing, I heard some movement in the bushes. It took me some effort to catch it. We haven't had meat in a few days, so it's a good idea to cook it today."

"You are so awesome!" Jiang Qiuyue drooled as she looked at the wild rabbit. When she heard Niu Zhuangzhuang coming, she asked Lin Zhengrong to put the wild rabbit away while she went out.

"Aunt Jiang, grandma asked me to deliver the vegetables." Niu Zhuangzhuang took out the vegetables from the basket and saw that Jiang Qiuyue was going to give him food. This time he obediently said no and hurried home.

"Kid, why isn't he hungry today?" Jiang Qiuyue said with a smile. After entering the kitchen, she asked Lin Zhengrong to clean the wild rabbit. After stewing it, she would send a bowl to the Niu family.

The vegetables she grew herself have not yet begun to be harvested, and all the vegetables she has eaten recently were sent by the Niu family. Now she has to join the army, and she doesn't know when she can see Aunt Niu again. She feels reluctant to leave.

While Lin Zhengrong was packing up the hares, Jiang Qiuyue mentioned Jiang Xiahe's situation, "Wait until tomorrow, go and take a look. This matter cannot be delayed. Yunlang is not a good person."

Lin Zhengrong explained clearly and asked Jiang Qiuyue how she planned to eat rabbit meat.

"Chop it into the size of two fingers. I'll get some taro and we'll braise it together later." Speaking of food, Jiang Qiuyue swallowed her saliva.
