Xu Zhaodi sat quietly, waiting for Chen Jianguo to speak.
Chen Jianguo didn't know how to start, and scratched his wrist in annoyance.
Will the relationship that has finally improved deteriorate because of my questioning?
"Well...we had a meeting tonight, and Commissioner Zhou praised you."
?
Xu Zhaodi was puzzled.
Are you sure you are praising yourself, not criticizing?
After saying this, Chen Jianguo wanted to slap himself.
In fact, he wanted to ask her what she had done to be called to the interrogation room, and at the same time remind her to be careful with her words in the future. But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he didn't know how this came out.
I guess deep down he was afraid of quarreling with her, so as to avoid becoming the laughing stock of others the next day like Jiang Dahai and his wife downstairs.
He was really scared during the past six months.
When she curses at people, she really does it without any reason.
It's rare that the two of them have such a good time together these days, so we should naturally cherish it.
Chen Jianguo saw that Xu Zhaodi also had a suspicious look on her face, and then continued: "He said that your behavior is very open and honest, unlike what others say."
After saying this, Chen Jianguo said nothing more.
Xu Zhaodi was puzzled: "Is that it?"
"That's it. They also said at the meeting that they're going to hire someone to give classes to the families of the soldiers in the next few days. When your ankle is healed, remember to go."
"I see."
"Go to bed early."
Chen Jianguo felt a little guilty. In fact, he himself didn't understand what he was thinking.
He just thought that maybe changing the way they communicated would be good for both of them.
Xu Zhaodi entered the room and heard the couple who were quarreling downstairs quiet down and fall asleep within a few minutes.
Wei and his wife Yang Liqiu were also in this building. They were lying on the bed. Wei said, "Don't gossip with Captain Chen's wife in the future. If I hear you gossiping about others, you will take the children back to your hometown in the countryside."
Yang Liqiu was really afraid of Wei. Life in her hometown in the countryside was so hard, she didn't want to go there.
Here, at least they don't have to get up early and go to the fields late every day to earn work points, and they can eat fine grains and meat from time to time.
If you live in the countryside and eat sweet potatoes and potatoes every day, who can stand it?
Yang Liqiu pursed her lips, huddled in the quilt and whispered, "I know."
The reason why Jiang Dahai and his wife quarreled so fiercely tonight must be because of what happened during the day.
Wei asked, "Do you know who reported Captain Chen's wife?"
“It wasn’t me, it was Feng Xiujuan who did it.
In the morning, this group of women were standing downstairs gossiping about Xu Zhaodi. Xu Zhaodi poured a basin of foot washing water on her head. Feng Xiujuan was so angry that she went to find her leader.
I didn’t lie, many sisters-in-law saw it.”
Wei frowned as he listened. In the compound, people hated this kind of villain the most.
If she can report others, she can also report another person. It’s better to stay away from her.
Wei said, "The boss has been very kind to me. You should be more respectful to your sister-in-law in the future. Go to bed quickly."
Yang Liqiu was dissatisfied. They all came from the countryside, so why should that fat woman be superior to her?
There is nothing you can do about it, since your man is one level lower than you.
That night, after returning home, those who had attended the meeting did some ideological work on their families, and the effect was remarkable. The whole next day, there was no one downstairs in the building in the compound, and it looked much quieter.
Xu Zhaodi rested at home for five or six days, and the swelling in her ankle completely subsided and the pain was gone.
Over the past few days, thanks to Chen Jianguo's daily foot massage, she was able to recover so quickly.
All the wild vegetables dug last time were eaten, and most of the pheasant eggs went into her mouth. Chen Jianguo was reluctant to eat them.
After spending the past few days together, Xu Zhaodi felt that this man was actually quite good. He had a good temper and was patient. More importantly, he was responsible for the family.
Nowadays, most men are chauvinistic. There are probably very few men like Chen Jianguo who can roll up their sleeves and cook after get off work.
Seeing that the weather outside was good, Xu Zhaodi wanted to go to the woods to pick some wild vegetables to fill her stomach at night.
She would rather eat wild vegetables than eat cornmeal all day.
Try to save as much as you can with the food coupons you have. Now is the time to lose weight, so it’s okay to eat less. Wild vegetables are healthy and can be used as a meal replacement.
As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Jiang Wan coming from the town carrying a lot of bags.
Every time I saw Jiang Wan, she was wearing a very beautiful skirt.
Today she was wearing a white and green plaid knee-length skirt and a pair of white leather shoes. She had shoulder-length black hair with the upper part of her hair tied into a bow with a white ribbon. She looked very pretty and was obviously from a different world from the other women in the compound.
Seeing Xu Zhaodi, Jiang Wan smiled sweetly and walked towards Xu Zhaodi.
"Are you feeling better, sister?"
"Better."
Jiang Wan saw Xu Zhaodi carrying a basket and asked, "Sister, are you going to town? The bus to town just arrived today, and we have to wait three days."
"I'm not going to town. I'm going to the opposite hillside to pick wild vegetables."
Jiang Wan felt distressed, knowing that the stitches on Xu Zhaodi's arm had not been removed yet, so he quickly put the cloth bag in his hand at his feet, reached out to take the basket from Xu Zhaodi's hand, stuffed the two cloth bags into it, and pulled Xu Zhaodi into the building.
"Sister, don't go digging wild vegetables. I'll go to town this morning to buy you two cans of malted milk and some peach cakes.
I also bought you two kilograms of brown sugar and a hen, which are all for your body to nourish.
My mother told me on the phone that she wanted to thank you very much, saying that you are my lifesaver. "
Xu Zhaodi felt warm in her heart when she saw Jiang Wan holding her hand.
In her previous life, she also had a sister like this, born to her stepmother. On the surface, she looked like a harmless animal, but in fact she was hiding a knife and stabbed her again and again.
Xu Zhaodi was pulled to the door of her house. Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Sister, open the door quickly. I'll help you carry these things in."
Only then did Xu Zhaodi react.
"Xiao Wan, listen to me. Take all these things. You were frightened that day. Take them to nourish your body."
Xu Zhaodi stood there without moving. Jiang Wan bent down, reached into Xu Zhaodi's pocket, took out the key, and opened the door himself.
For some reason, Xu Zhaodi couldn't get angry at all when she looked at her face.
The door opened, and Jiang Wan walked in familiarly, carrying something.
This was her first time visiting Xu Zhaodi's home. There were few furnitures, and the house was clean, tidy, and spacious.
Jiang Wan put two cloth bags on the floor, took out a few pieces of peach cakes, two buckets of malted milk, and a piece of brown sugar wrapped in oil paper from the new one.
The other bag should contain hens. When she picked it up and walked to the balcony, a clucking sound came from the bag.
"Sister, I don't know how to cook, otherwise I would kill this chicken myself and make soup for you."
When Jiang Wan came out from the balcony, Xu Zhaodi had already poured him a glass of water.
Jiang Wan took it and drank it. Before Xu Zhaodi could remind her that it was hot, Jiang Wan shouted, "Hot, hot, hot..."
Xu Zhaodi looked worried and amused.
She should be the little princess who was raised in the palm of her mother's hand, carefree, uninvolved in worldly affairs, simple and kind.
For some reason, I envied her.
