Yun Qiao replied: "No, it's still two years away."
Zeng Qi was surprised: "Oh, you are younger than I thought. Only sixteen years old, more than a generation younger than me."
"Sister-in-law, you look young too." Yun Qiao said this sincerely. Although Zeng Qi's skin was a little rough and there were some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, she looked good and had a good figure. She was well-proportioned and looked very energetic at first glance, and did not look old at all.
Zeng Qi could naturally feel the sincerity of Yun Qiao's words.
She was also very happy in her heart. After all, what woman doesn't like to be praised for her youth?
She touched her face and said modestly, "You're still young, what's the point? I'm already over 30, and if I wait a few more years, my child will be your age."
As she spoke, she took Yun Qiao into the east wing and asked her to put down her luggage first.
"Girl, you can stay here tonight. This room is where my eldest daughter lives, so you can squeeze in with her tonight. Although the west room is empty, it hasn't been used for more than half a year. It's covered in dust, and even if you clean it up, it's still very cold. I wouldn't feel good if you caught a cold living in such a cold room."
Yun Qiao was already very grateful that Zeng Qi was willing to provide her with a place to live, so how could she be picky?
"Thank you, sister-in-law. You're so kind. I'm already very grateful that you can arrange for me to stay at your home." Yun Qiao thanked her sincerely: "You can just call me Yun Qiao."
"You're such a talker, girl." Zeng Qi said with a smile, "My daughter is eleven years old and hasn't come back from school yet. I'll introduce you to each other when she comes back. You two are about the same age, so I think you'll get along well."
Yun Qiao agreed.
Coming out of the east wing, He Tingjun came up to me and said, "Sister-in-law, Yunqiao, you two can talk for a while. I have to go back to the dormitory."
"By the way, sister-in-law, when I come over later, I'll bring back some meat dishes from the cafeteria so you don't have to cook tonight."
Zeng Qi refused: "Tingjun, no need. There are so many people at home. Your brother Yang and those two boys are all gluttons. We have to rely on you to bring food to the cafeteria. How much food do you need to bring to make it enough? Don't bother with that. We have everything at home, and cooking is not a problem. Just listen to my sister-in-law and don't go to the cafeteria. Just come directly from the dormitory."
"I understand." He Tingjun responded, but he didn't intend to listen.
After He Tingjun left, Zeng Qi turned to Yun Qiao and asked, "Can you light a fire?"
Yun Qiao hesitated for a moment and said, "I guess so."
Zeng Qi couldn't help laughing: "If you can, you can. If you can't, you can't. What do you mean by being able to do it?"
"I've never made a fire before. I've always used a stove." Yun Qiao felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. Making a fire is easy. Just add some firewood and watch it burn."
Zeng Qi brought Yun Qiao to the kitchen.
Zeng Qi had already started cooking before Yun Qiao and the others arrived.
The dough has risen but hasn't been kneaded yet.
The peeled carrots were placed on the chopping board, and there was a small bowl of black fungus soaking in the bowl next to it.
Yun Qiao took a quick look and guessed, "Sister-in-law, are you preparing cabbage dumplings?"
Zeng Qi nodded: "Yes. Do you know how to wrap it?"
"I will." Yun Qiao rolled up his sleeves and went to the side to wash his hands: "Let me help you."
"Okay, let's go together."

The other side.
He Tingjun, who had just come out of the single dormitory, was stopped halfway by Battalion Commander Yang Yuanfan.
"Tingjun."
He Tingjun stopped and saluted him: "Battalion Commander."
Yang Yuanfan returned his military salute and asked with a smile, "Tingjun, I heard you brought a family member back with you on your leave this time?"
