Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Give Bai Xiuxiu some advice

"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here." Jiang Qiuyue held Gao Juanjuan's hand. "I wrote you a letter, but you probably haven't received it yet."

Gao Juanjuan was also very happy. "No, I didn't receive it. I followed the army's car to Haicheng today. What about you? Are you here to buy something?"

She saw Jiang Qiuyue's backpack, which was covered with newspapers, but she could smell the scent of salted fish.

Jiang Qiuyue said, "I got a bicycle ticket and now I want to go and see the bicycles."

Knowing that Gao Juanjuan would be alone this time, Jiang Qiuyue asked if she wanted to go shopping together.

"Okay. I'll go with you to buy a bicycle. You don't know, the sales clerks in department stores are all very discerning. I've been here a few times, maybe they'll be nicer when they see me." Gao Juanjuan had bought a bicycle and other things before, so she had good conditions and some of the sales clerks already knew her.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the bicycle store, the salesperson recognized Gao Juanjuan at first sight and called her Sister Juan in a friendly manner. When she learned that Gao Juanjuan was accompanying someone to buy a bicycle, the salesperson immediately introduced her enthusiastically, "Look here, sister, there are Phoenix, Feiduo, and Forever brands of bicycles. Let me see your bicycle ticket, most of the tickets can only buy one brand."

Seeing that Jiang Qiuyue's bicycle ticket was a national pass, the salesperson immediately looked at Jiang Qiuyue differently. She knew that Gao Juanjuan was a military doctor, but Gao Juanjuan couldn't get a national pass, which showed that the identity of this girl in front of her was even more extraordinary.

In the salesperson's mind, he already regarded Jiang Qiuyue as a distinguished customer and thought that he should treat her well, maybe they could have a good relationship in the future.

Jiang Qiuyue didn't know that the salesperson had thought so much. She picked a Phoenix brand bicycle and spent 280 yuan.

The moment Jiang Qiuyue got the bicycle, she couldn't wait to try it out. It felt so good to have a bicycle!

She also accompanied Gao Juanjuan to buy some fabrics, and the two went to a state-owned hotel for dinner. Only then did Gao Juanjuan say that the bicycle ticket Jiang Qiuyue gave her was very rare.

Gao Juanjuan thought it was Jiang Qiuyue's husband who gave it to her, and she praised him, "Your husband is quite capable. He was able to get a bicycle ticket that can be used all over the country. This is not easy to get."

"Is there any difference?" Jiang Qiuyue did not explain that it was given by Commander Yu.

Gao Juanjuan said, "Look, our food coupons are divided into local and national ones, and the national ones are harder to get. The same is true for bicycle tickets. Most people have ordinary bicycle tickets. If you exchange your ticket with others, it can be worth 20 yuan more than the ordinary ones."

Jiang Qiuyue cried out in disappointment, "I didn't know there was such a trick. If I knew, I would have exchanged it with someone else."

"Haha, it's okay, because there are not many people who want national bicycle tickets, and it's hard for you to change them." Gao Juanjuan asked where Jiang Qiuyue lived, and said in surprise, "I'm going to your place on a business trip in two days, so it's a good opportunity for me to go see you. How are Beibei and Nannan? I've been missing them since we separated last time."

"They are doing well. They have made new friends and sometimes ask about Aunt Juanjuan. The two kids still remember the candies you gave them." Jiang Qiuyue invited Gao Juanjuan to her home for dinner. "The food in our cafeteria is just average. You must come to my home for dinner. I will cook you my signature dishes!"

She invited Gao Juanjuan warmly and she was happy to accept. After agreeing on a time, Gao Juanjuan had to take the army's car back, so she had to leave first.

When Gao Juanjuan returned to the army, she learned that her mother was hospitalized again, so she rushed to the hospital.

These past few days, her parents have not been in good health. They are both worried and sigh every day. They are not happy and don't pay much attention to their health.

"Juanjuan, do you think mom can't wait until the day when our family is reunited?" Sun Fengying saw her daughter coming and began to sigh again.

"No, Mom. You are only fifty-four, so young. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will definitely be able to wait until that day comes."

Gao Juanjuan peeled an orange for her mother. "The doctor said that you fainted because you didn't eat well and suffered from malnutrition. Dad is in the army, so you have to take care of yourself."

"I'm sorry for making you worry." Sun Fengying combed her daughter's sideburns. She was too bored at home after retirement. When people are idle, they tend to think too much. Sometimes when her grandchildren come over, she is better because she has something to do to pass the time.

Gao Juanjuan understood her parents' worries and comforted them, "Nothing is difficult in this world if you are determined. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will have the chance to see your brother."

"Mom, don't worry, Dad and I have been looking for her and we won't give up."

Sun Fengying nodded. She really had to take good care of herself, otherwise it would be such a pity if she died like this.

She ate the meal cooperatively and promised her daughter that she would eat three meals a day on time in the future.

On the other side, Jiang Qiuyue had just gotten off the bus and the conductor helped her take down the bicycle from the roof of the bus.

"Thank you." After thanking the ticket seller, Jiang Qiuyue tied the backpack to the back seat and rode her new bicycle home.

"Hey, look, isn't that Deputy Captain Lin's lover?" Someone in the pavilion saw Jiang Qiuyue and immediately pulled the people around him.

Wei Meihua looked in the direction she was going, "It's really Jiang Qiuyue, Shufen, look, Jiang Qiuyue is riding a bicycle!"

Zhao Shufen was so suffocated at home that she couldn't help but come out for some fresh air. When she saw Jiang Qiuyue riding a new bicycle, she pouted and said, "Why are you showing off? It's just a bicycle, isn't it?"

"Yes, many people in the family compound have one." Wei Meihua added, blurting out without thinking, "Shufen, why don't you buy one?"

Zhao Shufen: ...She needs to have the ticket and money to buy it!

Bai Yong could definitely afford a bicycle with his salary, but he still needed a ticket. In addition, Bai Yong had to send money back home every month, and Zhao Shufen herself would help her parents from time to time.

A few years ago, she gave a lot of money to her parents to buy a job for her nephew. Now, Zhao Shufen doesn't have much money, let alone a bicycle, or even savings.

"I...I don't have enough money for my family." Zhao Shufen felt terrible.

Wei Meihua couldn't see that her man was just a chef in the cafeteria, not as good as Bai Yong, so she always followed Zhao Shufen to please him. She had already looked for Zhao Shufen several times for Jiang Qiuyue's matter, and since Zhao Shufen was willing to come out today, she thought Zhao Shufen forgave her.

"Of course it's useful. Your children are grown up and can ride a bicycle now." Wei Meihua couldn't see Jiang Qiuyue and became confused again, "Where did Jiang Qiuyue get the bicycle ticket? I remember that Deputy Head Lin didn't have a bicycle ticket."

Zhao Shufen also found it strange, but she didn't dare to say anything at this time. She heard from others that it might have been exchanged with someone else. She thought it was really possible and many people did this.

I just don’t know how Jiang Qiuyue changed it. If she bought it, that would be a capitalist act. She can report Jiang Qiuyue!

Thinking of the loss she suffered at the hands of Jiang Qiuyue, Zhao Shufen will not act rashly this time. She will wait for the opportunity and make Jiang Qiuyue more embarrassed than her!

Thinking of this, Zhao Shufen got up and went home. She saw another young man walking into the Lin family's house. Zhao Shufen climbed up the wall on a stool and peeked.

Bai Xiu Xiu happened to see this scene in the living room. When she saw her aunt coming in humming a song, she knew that her aunt was not holding her fart well.

"Hey Xiuxiu, didn't I tell you that the quilt cover needs to be washed three times before it can be clean? You obviously didn't listen to me." Zhao Shufen touched the quilt cover on the bed and found faults, "Take it off and wash it tomorrow. They all say you are diligent, but I think you are just doing it for show. You don't work carefully. Be careful that your in-laws will say something bad about you when you get married."

Bai Xiuxiu took a deep breath and changed the quilt cover. Zhao Shufen then asked her if the meal was ready.

"Your uncle is not at home, but you and I still have to eat. You are already a grown-up girl." Zhao Shufen was actually reluctant to let Bai Xiuxiu get married now. Since Bai Xiuxiu came home, she no longer had to work, and her life was so comfortable. However, her brother asked her to introduce a partner to his nephew, and she thought of Bai Xiuxiu. "Xiuxiu, what do you think about what your aunt told you yesterday?"

Zhao Shufen's nephew is lazy and likes to eat. He has developed a lot of bad habits due to his family's habits. He has already dated several girls in the local area, but every time he met them for a short time, he wanted to take advantage of the girls, and ended up ruining his reputation.

There was no other way, so the Zhao family thought of asking Zhao Shufen to help introduce them. But the young girls in the army had good jobs and looked down on ordinary employees. Zhao Shufen tried to find someone several times but to no avail, so she finally set her sights on Bai Xiuxiu.

Bai Xiuxiu's parents are dead. Although she has no work experience or education, she is good-looking and very capable!

Zhao Shufen settled for the next best thing, thinking that Bai Xiuxiu could do it if it was cheaper, so she mentioned the matter to Bai Xiuxiu.

Others may not understand the situation of the Zhao family, but Bai Xiuxiu has read the original novel. Zhao Jiajun is a rotten man, and she would rather die than marry such a man.

"Aunt, uncle said he would help me make a decision." Bai Xiu Xiu worked so hard to live, not to suffer, but to plan a good future for herself.

"Your uncle will definitely agree. You don't have to consider his opinion. I just want to ask you if you are willing." Zhao Shufen pulled Bai Xiuxiu. Seeing that Bai Xiuxiu didn't say anything, Zhao Shufen became impatient and asked, "Why, you feel wronged when I asked you to marry my nephew?"

"My brother's family only has one son, Jiajun. His sister also helps Jiajun from time to time. Jiajun also has a formal job. Just marry him and wait for the blessings. I think you are quite well-behaved, so I thought of marrying the two families together. Dear, if you hold your tongue and say nothing, do you still resent me in your heart? "

Bai Xiuxiu took a deep breath and said, "Aunt, my parents are gone, and my uncle is my relative. I have to listen to my uncle and grandpa and grandma about my affairs. If I make the decision on my own, they will definitely be angry."

She still has to live here, so she can only push the matter to the elders.

"Your grandparents only have their grandson in their eyes, they don't care about you." As for Bai Yong, Zhao Shufen had a headache because she had mentioned it to Bai Yong, but Bai Yong disagreed. That's why she thought of persuading Bai Xiuxiu. As long as Bai Xiuxiu nodded herself, Bai Yong would not insist.

Seeing that Bai Xiuxiu was silent again, Zhao Shufen could only give up for the time being, "Okay, okay, okay, you silly girl, you don't understand my kindness. But I tell you, your cousins ​​are grown up, and when they graduate, there will be no need for anyone to work at home."

This is a threat.

Bai Xiuxiu didn't respond and went to the yard with the quilt in her arms. Her red eyes were seen by Jiang Qiuyue, who waved to her.

Jiang Qiuyue quietly brought Bai Xiuxiu into the house and asked what was wrong.

Bai Xiuxiu wanted to say something, but she felt that she and Jiang Qiuyue were not close enough to whisper to each other. She shook her head, sighed, and turned to talk about her aunt peeking into the Lin family yard. "I saw that she looked very happy. I'm afraid she is trying to hate you again."

"Your aunt is a typical gossiper who can't stand seeing people doing well." Jiang Qiuyue snorted coldly, "She suffered a loss at my hands, and she will definitely not let it go."

"People like her have always had poor character. No matter where they go, they are still of poor character. Thank you for reminding me. I will keep an eye on her. It is not easy for you to make a living under her. I think she has not worked for a long time, so she is looking for trouble. My sister who is a military doctor will come over in a few days. I will ask her to bandage your arm. When you can't work, let Zhao Shufen do the housework. She will know your benefits."

Bai Xiu Xiu has always been a serious and hardworking person and has never had such little thoughts.

Jiang Qiuyue patted Bai Xiuxiu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Your uncle took you here, which means he treats you well. He won't send you back like this. Your uncle has the final say in your family. Just treat it as a vacation for yourself and rest for about a week."

Hearing Jiang Qiuyue say this, Bai Xiuxiu thought of her aunt wanting to marry her to someone like Zhao Jiajun, and a feeling of disgust swept over her. She nodded and agreed to Jiang Qiuyue's suggestion.

Two days later, Gao Juanjuan came to the hospital here to study. When she learned about Bai Xiuxiu's situation, she immediately agreed and tied Bai Xiuxiu's arm with gauze.

"Go home and tell them you sprained your hand and need to rest for about a week. I'll get you some vitamin tablets. Take them on time every day and show them." Gao Juanjuan and Bai Xiuxiu said.

Bai Xiu Xiu looked at her hands, feeling a little amused and helpless. She couldn't go back with Jiang Qiuyue, otherwise she would be so upset.

On her way home, many acquaintances saw her and asked her what happened. She said she sprained her wrist, and her neighbors asked her to rest.

"Xiu Xiu has a really hard life. She helps Zhao Shufen with work every day and I never see her go out to play."

"Who says it's not true? This is what it's like to live under someone else's roof. You know Zhao Shufen. Why would she take in someone else's child for no reason? It's because Xiuxiu is capable."

"I think Xiuxiu has become more and more beautiful, but it's a pity that my son is too young, otherwise I would have let her be my son's daughter-in-law."

…

As several people were talking, the topic came up: Bai Xiu Xiu's marriage. Some of them liked Bai Xiu Xiu, while others felt that Bai Xiu Xiu had no parents and was not worthy of their children.

However, Bai Xiu Xiu couldn't hear these words. She knew her uncle was at home and came back at this time on purpose.

Bai Yong learned that Bai Xiuxiu had sprained her wrist, and his brows furrowed. "The doctor confirmed it, is it okay?"

"Well, there are no broken bones. I just slipped my hand on a stone while washing clothes and twisted my tendon. I need to rest for a few days." Bai Xiu Xiu glanced at her aunt while speaking.

Zhao Shufen was not happy to hear Bai Xiuxiu say this. "Why are you so careless? How can you still work if you sprain your hand?"

Bai Yong said angrily, "The child is already like this, can't you let her rest for a few days? You are not handless and footless, you stay at home every day, now you can only gossip with others and don't work, right?"

"I..." Zhao Shufen just opened her mouth when Bai Yong said, "You take care of all the housework this week. Let Xiuxiu take a break. I have already made an appointment with someone to take Xiuxiu to see a date next week."

When Zhao Shufen mentioned Zhao Jiajun, Bai Yong became even more dissatisfied with Zhao Shufen. When he was a child, he was taken care of by his brother. Now his brother and sister-in-law are gone, leaving only a daughter. He can't watch Zhao Shufen push his niece into the fire pit.

Others don't understand what kind of person Zhao Jiajun is, but Bai Yong knows it very well. He is a hopeless bastard who is also lustful!

Zhao Shufen was unhappy when she heard that Bai Yong had found a blind date for Bai Xiuxiu, "Why didn't you discuss this with me?"

"What's there to say to you? I'm making this clear today. As long as I'm here, Xiuxiu will never marry Zhao Jiajun. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!" After saying that, Bai Yong asked Zhao Shufen to cook. He didn't want to listen to Zhao Shufen talk anymore. He felt annoyed when he heard her voice.

Bai Xiu Xiu had already returned to her little bed. She smiled secretly, thinking that Sister Qiuyue's method was really useful, because she heard Zhao Shufen starting to complain about why the coal stove couldn't be lit.

When Jiang Qiuyue took Gao Juanjuan home, she heard Zhao Shufen cursing. She whispered to Gao Juanjuan that this was Bai Xiuxiu's aunt.

Gao Juanjuan shook her head after hearing this and said, "This guy is really not good enough."

"Who said it wasn't?" Jiang Qiuyue sighed, and went to the door of Wu Shuangshuang's house and shouted, "Beibei Nannan, your aunt Juanjuan is here to see you!"
