Chen Jianguo noticed that she had been eating less recently, and she no longer wolfed down her food like before. Instead, she ate slowly and elegantly, taking small bites.
Worried that she would be hungry at night, I took a bowl of noodles from the pot and left it for her.
Xu Zhaodi thought that Tian was frightened and would have nightmares and couldn't sleep at night, but he fell into bed and had no dreams all night.
On the contrary, Chen Jianguo tossed and turned in bed and took a long time to fall asleep.
In the past, if anything happened to anyone in the compound, she would definitely make sarcastic remarks and make impeachments with exaggerated details.
But after seeing her bravely fighting the human traffickers today, Chen Jianguo couldn't help but think that maybe she was kind-hearted, but he had been prejudiced against her and didn't realize it before.
Early the next morning, Xu Zhaodi was awakened by a knock on the door.
She was half asleep and murmured, "Come in."
When Chen Jianguo pushed the door open and came in, the sleeves of his brown shirt were half rolled up, revealing his wheat-colored forearms. His strong muscles were clearly visible, and he looked very muscular.
He had a brand new orange towel draped over his arm and was holding a red enamel basin with a peony print on it.
Xu Zhaodi was in a daze. She was wearing a vest with her bare arms exposed, except for her injured arm which was wrapped tightly and looked badly injured.
She looked at Chen Jianguo with sleepy eyes, and before she could react, Chen Jianguo's ears turned red and said, "I'll give you a foot massage. After that, I'll go do morning exercises and bring you breakfast later."
As he spoke, he reached out to lift the quilt to apply some water to her feet.
Xu Zhaodi was wearing shorts on her lower body. She reacted and quickly reached out to grab the quilt.
These two elephant legs are really scary because they are thick and strong except for the skin.
Xu Zhaodi blushed slightly and said, "I'll stretch out my feet."
Chen Jianguo felt a little headache. He almost mistook her for a man. It was really terrible.
She used to be irritable and rough, but now she has made changes and she can't behave so rough anymore.
Even though they had lived under the same roof for half a century, he really didn't know how to get along with women.
After Xu Zhaodi stretched her feet out from under the quilt, Chen Jianguo applied a foot mask to her feet and then washed them with liquor for a few minutes. When he left the room, his back looked a little stiff and his ears looked red.
After two cold compresses, the swelling on the instep has subsided a lot and the pain is much less than yesterday.
I originally wanted to sleep a little longer, but the slogans from next door were loud, neat, and penetrating, which made me feel refreshed, so it became difficult to fall asleep again.
She got up, washed, and tidied the room. Chen Jianguo came back with two lunch boxes in his hands.
He calmly placed the lunch box on the table. When he opened it, there were two steamed buns, two boiled eggs, a portion of fried vegetables, and millet porridge in the other lunch box.
"Take your time to eat. I'll get lunch from the cafeteria at noon."
After Chen Jianguo said this, he looked at Xu Zhaodi's injured foot and told her, "Try not to move and have a good rest."
From yesterday till now, this man seems to care about her.
During the break on the training ground, Chen Jianguo sat aside and thought, Xu Zhaodi had an ankle injury and had more than a dozen stitches on her arm. With such a big cut, she would need at least a month to recover.
It just so happened that the work at the pig farm was hard, and he wanted to take this opportunity to speak to the committee and leave the opportunity to other family members.
When the time comes, he will find a way to find her another job in town.
Zhang Qingdong sat over, threw himself on the ground, and said, "Brother Chen, is my sister-in-law okay?"
"It's okay, I just need to take a good rest for a while."
"This is all my fault." Jiang Wan is his fiancée, and this incident was caused by Jiang Wan, so doesn't that mean he has to be blamed?
Zhang Qingdong continued, "Brother, I never thought that my sister-in-law is such a righteous and brave person. From today on, she is the person I admire the most."
It was the scene yesterday that made Zhang Qingdong feel that he was really a piece of shit in the past. When others said that Xu Zhaodi was a shrew, he thought they were right.
He is worse than a woman.
Now it seems that he and those people who like to gossip are scum.
Chen Jianguo said nothing. Until now, he still found it hard to believe that she had changed so much in just a few days, as if she had changed her heart.
Under normal circumstances, if her finger was cut by an insect, she would definitely run to the infirmary immediately.
When he looked at the wound, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that it was pretentious. If it had been two steps later, the wound would have healed.
But yesterday, she bled so much and it looked painful, but she didn't say a word.
Xu Zhaodi was digging wild vegetables yesterday morning and went to the city in the afternoon. The women in the compound hadn't seen her all day, but now they were standing at the bottom of the building holding their child and discussing the matter without any hesitation.
Yang Liqiu, the wife of Wei, held her child and said, "Have you heard that the higher-ups have applied for a few job quotas for us family members at the pig farm?"
Feng Xiujuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this.
"The work at the pig farm is dirty and tiring. Whoever wants to work there can do it. Who cares?"
Before Feng Xiujuan came to the military compound, she worked in a pig farm in the village. She worked so hard all day long and only got a few hours' pay. When she went home at night, she smelled like pig manure. Anyone who wanted this crappy job could do it, but she didn't want it anyway.
Yang Liqiu didn't like what Feng Xiujuan said. Most of the women in the compound came from rural areas, and the men in their families had to rely on the allowance of a few dozen yuan to support their wives and children, as well as their rural fathers, brothers and sisters.
If a job is assigned to you by your superiors, who wouldn't want to fight for it?
Yang Liqiu's husband, Feng Wei, is the deputy battalion commander. Feng Xiujuan relies on the fact that her husband is the battalion commander and usually puts on airs in front of these people. Yang Liqiu didn't like the tone of her voice at this moment.
We are all from the countryside, and no one is superior to anyone else.
Yang Liqiu glanced at Feng Xiujuan and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, your family is well-off, and you don't like the ten yuan a month salary.
Fortunately, sister-in-law, you didn't like her. If you had, you wouldn't have had the chance."
"What do you mean by that?"
Among this group of women, only the shrew Xu Zhaodi dared to confront him face to face. Before Xu Zhaodi was defeated, another fearless woman, Yang Liqiu, came along.
Yang Liqiu pulled her lips and smiled: "Didn't your Captain Jiang tell you that the quota has been confirmed?
It just so happens that Captain Chen’s wife is inside.”
When Feng Xiujuan heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and said sarcastically, "Her, that fat bitch?
She is fat and lazy, and her reputation is bad in our compound. How could the leaders not know about it?
Giving such people a job opportunity is simply bringing discredit to our compound.”
Although she looked down on this job, she couldn't let that shrew Xu Zhaodi snatch the position and take advantage of her.
Seeing Feng Xiujuan like a chicken hatching eggs and getting its hair standing on end, Yang Liqiu sneered and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't like this quota anyway, so why do you care who gets it?
Don’t you think so?
Several women holding children nearby remained silent. Upon hearing about such a good job opportunity, they also wanted to strive for a spot to subsidize their family expenses. No one had expected that such a good thing would fall into Xu Zhaodi's hands.
Xu Zhaodi was injured, and when she was at home and nothing happened, she moved a stool to sit on the balcony to bask in the sun. Looking at the large area on the balcony, she thought that raising chickens and ducks was not allowed in the city, so she might as well buy a few flower pots and grow some vegetables.
As a result, the voices of these people talking soon entered Xu Zhaodi's ears.
