When the people around heard what Jiang Cuihua said, a trace of disgust flashed in their eyes.
Although they also came from the countryside, they had been in the city for a long time and rarely heard these unpleasant words. Now they heard people saying them blatantly, which sounded very ignorant and impolite.
Feng Xiujuan saw it, she coughed dryly and said, "Come on, let's go home first."
Before Jiang Cuihua could react, Feng Xiujuan pulled her away.
As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Cuihua said, "Sister-in-law, do I have no chance?"
Feng Xiujuan took a look at her sister-in-law. She was pretty, but still couldn't compare to Xu Zhaodi.
If she had come earlier, she might have had a chance, but now there was little hope. Chen Jianguo and Xu Zhaodi appeared in the compound together more and more often, and everyone with a discerning eye had seen it. The couple never quarreled and had a good relationship.
Feng Xiujuan said, "You probably don't have much chance, so forget it. If there's a suitable one in the future, your sister-in-law will introduce you to one."
"Sister-in-law, I'm not willing to give up. I still want to try."
Feng Xiujuan said: "Why don't you try it? Don't make a mistake..."
What a disgrace.
Feng Xiujuan didn't finish her words, and she didn't have the heart to hurt Jiang Cuihua, after all, she was her sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, when my brother comes, come with me to Captain Chen's house. I'll bring him a plate of cold noodles. The last time I came here, I often talked to him when I ran into him in the compound. He must remember me."
Feng Xiujuan thought about it and realized that she hadn't been to Xu Zhaodi's house for a long time, and she wanted to see whether her change was real or fake.
After Chen Jianguo received this mission, his superiors attached great importance to it. After a day of training, the people who were to be sent back were called by the political commissar to attend a meeting, and all those above the rank of platoon leader attended.
He kept thinking about taking over Xu Zhaodi's business. The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and he thought that the person might have arrived by now.
After the meeting, a group of men came out of the conference room in a mighty procession, and Chen Jianguo strode home with quick steps.
Jiang Dahai shouted from behind: "Why are you running so fast? There's no tiger chasing you."
Chen Jianguo was too lazy to pay attention to him and rushed home.
When the door opened, I saw Xu Zhaodi moved a chair next to the window. She stood on the chair, holding a nail in one hand and a hammer in the other, and gestured.
Chen Jianguo felt his heart tighten as he watched her, fearing that she might accidentally fall from the top.
This kind of rough housework is not for women.
Xu Zhaodi was startled by him. He rushed into the house in a hurry. If someone didn't know, they would think that there was an emergency at home.
Chen Jianguo ran very fast, but when he stood in the living room, he was still as steady as an old dog.
"How did you get here?"
"I came here, what's wrong?"
"I was going to pick you up after training, but the commissar called us to a meeting, and I just finished the meeting."
As Chen Jianguo spoke, he had already moved to the window.
Xu Zhaodi said, "I see. Go wash your face and cook yourself a bowl of noodles. I'll hang up the gauze curtain first."
After Xu Zhaodi finished speaking, she looked up at the window above her head.
It seemed that she had overestimated her height.
This window...seems a bit high.
Xu Zhaodi was barefoot, standing on tiptoe to barely reach the top of the window. Chen Jianguo's eyes followed her slender legs. She tilted her neck back, and the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window shone through the glass onto her slender neck. The white hair was translucent, like a white lotus root, which made people want to take a bite.
Chen Jianguo's Adam's apple throbbed and a strange look flashed across his eyes. He swallowed and suppressed the anger in his body.
Xu Zhaodi only felt her legs tighten. She looked down and saw Chen Jianguo holding her thigh with one hand and carrying her away from the chair.
ah--
Xu Zhaodi screamed in fright, and the nail in her hand fell to the cement floor with a crisp tinkling sound.
"Put me down now."
Chen Jianguo was not in a hurry. He easily picked her up and placed her on the table beside him. He squatted down, grabbed the slippers and put them on her feet.
"You are not allowed to do this kind of rough work at home in the future. It's very dangerous. What if you fall down when I'm not here?"
Chen Jianguo spoke with a complaining tone. After he finished speaking, he picked up the nails on the ground and stood on the chair with his tall body.
Xu Zhaodi looked up at his tall back. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on his body, as if his entire body was glowing.
The corners of Xu Zhaodi's lips curled up, and her heart felt warm.
Chen Jianguo gestured and said, "It won't work if you hang it like this. You need to use wire and clips. Zhang Qingdong has some. I'll go get some."
Before Xu Zhaodi could react, the sound of a door closing was heard from the living room, and the room became quiet again.
For some reason, she wanted to give Chen Jianguo a hug.
As the two of them got along, he really was like a seed, slowly taking root and sprouting in her heart.
Xu Zhaodi stared at the tightly closed door and her eyes inexplicably became red.
In fact, women don’t ask for much. If the person next to you can illuminate you like the warm sun, and the two of you walk forward hand in hand, it is also a very romantic thing.
Xu Zhaodi was shocked and realized that there was something cold in the corners of her eyes. She raised her hand and touched them, and found that they were tears.
She was really... attracted to this man.
Soon, Chen Jianguo's heavy and powerful footsteps were heard at the door. When he entered, he was holding a bundle of wire and a box of clips in his hands.
He measured the length of the window, cut the wire with pliers, fixed both sides with nails, clamped the gauze curtain with clips, hung it on the wire, and it was much smoother when pulled.
Chen Jianguo was also satisfied with the look, and he smiled and said, "This job is a matter of minutes for a man. Do you want to hang the remaining two windows as well?"
Xu Zhaodi nodded blankly, and Chen Jianguo carried a stool and went into Xu Zhaodi's room first.
Xu Zhaodi spread the remaining gauze curtains on the square wooden table in the living room. The room suddenly looked more upscale and, more importantly, comfortable.
When Chen Jianguo came out, there was not only an extra tablecloth on the table in the living room, but also a can of flowers in it. He paused and the corners of his lips curled up.
Xu Zhaodi had gone to the kitchen to cook noodles. Chen Jianguo was almost done and came out. He took his clean clothes and went into the bathroom to wash and change.
After rolling in the mud for an entire afternoon, I worked up a sweat; the sweat and mud mixed together and made my clothes stiff.
When he came out of the bathroom, Xu Zhaodi's noodles were just cooked.
Xu Zhaodi said, "Take your time to eat the pot. There's more left. I'll go downstairs to water the vegetables."
Chen Jianguo said: "Don't worry, I'll go with you after I finish eating."
A big bucket of water is heavy enough to carry down.
Xu Zhaodi smiled and said, "Okay then."
Just as she sat down at the dining table, there was a knock on the door. Chen Jianguo had finished his bowl of noodles. Xu Zhaodi said, "Go get the noodles and I'll open the door."
When the door opened, Xu Zhaodi frowned when she saw Feng Xiujuan and a strange woman at the door.
