"It's decided. This is it."
Shi Xiaohua clenched her left fist and hit the palm of her right hand, staring at Jian Yuelan's house with a determined look in her eyes.
"People have already left the island, why are they still occupying such a big house?"
She muttered and turned around, ready to go back and talk to her man about changing houses.
As a result, when he turned around, Jian Yuelan's face came into view.
“Huh—”
She was so frightened that her whole body shuddered and she couldn't control herself and stepped back, bumping into the fence.
"Sister-in-law Ye, why are you back?"
She greeted him tremblingly, fearing that Jian Yuelan would make her fly out again.
"This is my home, I can't come back?"
Jian Yuelan didn't answer but asked instead, thinking that her question was very strange. "My old Ye didn't leave, he just went to study. Why does it sound like he was kicked out from the house?"
"That's not what I meant. I, I'm just asking out of curiosity."
As if she had successfully convinced herself, she said with certainty, "Yes, I'm just curious. Don't blame me, Sister Ye."
Jian Yuelan said, "What are you doing at my door?"
"I……"
Being stared at by Jian Yuelan's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, she took a deep breath and said quickly, "I see that the vegetable garden in the yard is full of weeds. It's a pity. I'm thinking about going in to help pull some weeds."
At this point, she smiled flatteringly and said, "Such a good dish can't be wasted, right?"
This statement did not offend Jian Yuelan, but it offended Zhang Nan, Lu Hehua and Chen Qiuju.
After all, Jian Yuelan had agreed with them when she left that the vegetable field would be divided among the three families and the vegetables in the field would also be given to them.
They have been taking care of the vegetable garden during this period and have been weeding diligently, but how come the weeds are growing everywhere?
"Where is the grass growing? Find a blade of grass and let's take a look."
Chen Qiuju asked with a dissatisfied look on her face.
Shi Xiaohua was afraid of Jian Yuelan, but not Chen Qiuju. Hearing the sound, she pointed at the weeds outside the vegetable patch and said, "You can't see such a big weed."
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and fell silent.
What the hell is this weed? It's purslane.
Lu Hehua wondered, "Your family doesn't eat purslane?"
Shi Xiaohua, “…”
Eat naturally, but isn't this just making excuses?
"It's okay."
As she stumbled, everyone realized that this guy was making excuses.
Jian Yuelan was too lazy to argue with her, "Hurry up and go back to make dinner, Longlong is almost done with school."
"Oh yes, I'll be leaving first then."
She nodded hurriedly and ran away.
After running for a few steps, he felt unwilling to give up and turned back.
"Sister Ye, can I discuss something with you?"
Zhang Nan and the others, who were originally planning to go back home, stopped and looked at her.
Jian Yuelan paused as she opened the gate, lowered her eyes and looked at her, "Tell me first."
"I just want to exchange houses with your family."
Jian Yuelan frowned, suspecting that she was hallucinating.
How could Shi Xiaohua have such an out-of-the-box idea?
It is true that the family quarters do allow military dependents to exchange houses, and they just need to submit a report after the exchange.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, the two men who exchange houses have the same rank and both parties are willing to make the exchange.
However, Comrade Lao Wang, the man from Shi Xiaohua's family, is a deputy battalion commander.
Not to mention that Jian Yuelan and her colleagues couldn't get a house in their area based on his rank, even the housing in Zheng Wan's area depended on the situation.
"Does your Comrade Lao Wang know about this idea of yours?"
Zhang Nan asked her with a confused look on his face, feeling that he had learned a lot today.
I have never seen such an outrageous person.
Shi Xiaohua's eyes suddenly widened. "Why should we let Lao Wang know? Sister Ye and the others haven't lived here for a year, so what's wrong with switching places with me?"
"This house isn't theirs. It would be a waste to leave it empty. It would be better to let someone in need live here."
She puffed out her chest and said, as if she was the one in need, "Like me."
"Sister Ye, I'm not trying to embarrass you, but our place is too small. I have a baby with me, so there's just not enough space for our family of four to turn around."
Having said that, she looked at Jian Yuelan eagerly, "Sister Ye, you are so beautiful, you must be willing to switch with me, right?!"
Jian Yuelan was left at a loss whether to laugh or cry by her words. Shi Xiaohua had grown smarter and had even learned how to use moral blackmail.
What a pity—
"Comrade Shi."
She smiled and said, "I think you should go back and discuss this with your comrade, Lao Wang. If he agrees and supports your idea, then you can come back to me."
Since reasoning with Shi Xiaohua was pointless, he just sent her away. Shi Xiaohua didn't dare to fail to tell her husband, Lao Wang, about such an important matter.
When Comrade Lao Wang finds out what happened, he will teach her a lesson.
Shi Xiaohua had no idea what was going on in her mind. She thought Jian Yuelan meant she agreed, so she immediately smiled and said, "Well, I'll go back and talk to Lao Wang now."
Without waiting for anyone's reaction, she left happily.
Jian Yuelan and the others looked at her cheerful figure from behind. After a long silence, Zhang Nan said:
"There's going to be a fight."
Chen Qiuju sighed, "I used to think Xiao Xiaocao was unreliable, but now I realize Shi Xiaohua is even more unreliable."
At least Xiao Xiaocao has become a better person since she started working and had an income.
Apart from liking to watch the show and join in the fun, there is nothing wrong with him stabbing others in the back.
Shi Xiaohua...
Tsk, let’s not talk about it.
"Xiao Jian, go back quickly and ignore her. Deputy Battalion Commander Wang is a reasonable comrade and won't let her do whatever she wants."
Jian Yuelan was not worried about this, but she still appreciated Chen Qiuju's kindness.
"Okay, thank you sisters-in-law. I'll go back to the house and clean up first."
"Okay, we'll go back first."
It was getting late and they were busy making dinner, so they really couldn't continue chatting.
Otherwise, the men and children will have nothing to eat when they return home.
So, the four of them went back to their homes.
With the doors and windows closed, the house wasn't actually that dirty, and not all the things were taken away at the time. After all, it wasn't a complete departure, it was just a temporary one.
Therefore, household items such as quilts and sheets were packed up and placed in the cupboard.
I didn't even bring a washbasin or bucket.
After fetching water, Jian Yuelan spent more than half an hour cleaning the place. She then went to the cafeteria to have dinner, carrying the things she had prepared for Huang Yang's father and the old patriarch.
Then he went to visit the old patriarch, asked him to hand over the things that belonged to Huang Yang's father and others, and then he talked about business with the old man.
"What did you say?"
When she finished, the old man sat up from the recliner, looked at her in disbelief, and said, "You want to recruit women from our tribe to make clothes for you?"
"right!"
The women in the old patriarch's clan are all clever and skillful, and are good at weaving, dyeing and making clothes.
It's still purely handmade.
