I slept in the living room these two days. I opened the door in the morning to let some fresh air in and get rid of the smell in the room.
The smell in the house is actually gone, but this is the seaside, and sometimes the sea breeze feels quite cool.
Liu Qingyue began to like this kind of life.
He had just gotten up for a short while when the three military wives he had just met on the island came to call him.
One is called Yang Hong and the other is called Zhao Yumei.
The oldest one is called Cui.
All three of them came to join the army before the New Year and have long been accustomed to life on the island.
The one who lived the best was Yang Hong, because she was an intellectual herself. She went to high school and later married her husband and worked for a few years. But her relationship didn't go well, so she left the supply and marketing cooperative.
Then come and join the army.
There are not many intellectuals like this on the island, so Yang Hong teaches in a school on the island, teaching the children of the soldiers on the island to read and so on.
The one who had the hardest life was Cui.
Because she was the oldest and had given birth to four children in her hometown, she had a huge quarrel with her mother-in-law, which was so serious that her husband went back home to discuss it and then brought her to join the army.
But the relationship between the two was not good, because she did not have Yang Hong's high education, nor Zhao Yumei's pretty face, but she had a diligent work ethic.
Zhao Yumei is a relatively ordinary person. She has a good relationship with her husband and has a son and a daughter.
Because the children are a little older, I work in the canteen on the island. This way I can take care of the children and have some income.
Liu Qingyue heard all this from them. The three of them came together and asked her to go shopping with them.
On the way to buy groceries, Cui smiled and said, "On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the sweet vegetables are fresher because they have a special method to ship them here."
"Sister Cui, you know so much!" Liu Qingyue praised her. Sister Cui's face changed, and then she sighed softly, "What's the use of me knowing all this? My relationship with my husband is still not good. I don't have a job like those two!"
The pressure of having four children was really too great. One of them was only a year old and couldn't get away from home at all. Cui was now very worried.
"It's a great thing that you can take care of the children. You take care of four children, cook for your husband, clean the house, and do laundry. Isn't this what you have sacrificed?"
"If you ask me," Liu Qingyue rolled her eyes, "Sister Cui, although you are a little older, women also have the right to love beauty. You can still dress up and be more confident. There is no need to focus all your attention on your husband."
Cui's level of literacy was limited, and she didn't quite understand what confidence meant. Liu Qingyue explained it to her, and then they all chatted and laughed as they went to the place where they could buy groceries.
They had just bought the freshest vegetables and were about to return when Liu Wanwan arrived.
Liu Wanwan came with Wang Guiyin again today.
Wang Guiyin saw Liu Wanwan running away with vegetables in her hands, saying, "Hurry up! Don't hang around there! The freshest vegetables are almost sold out!"
Liu Wanwan was not very happy when she first arrived, because Wang Guizhen came to her to buy vegetables early in the morning and kept asking her how much her betrothal gift was.
She couldn't make up nonsense, so she could only say that she hadn't gone through the betrothal gift process yet, and would do it when she returned to her hometown.
Wang Guizhen chuckled twice at that time, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
Why are you running now?
Liu Wanwan looked up to see where the vegetables were the freshest, and suddenly saw Liu Qingyue and three military wives coming over.
Seeing these three military wives, Liu Wanwan's face turned a little ugly, because these three people had been surrounding her at the outermost edge that day, and there was another one who was strong enough to feel her pulse.
If they hadn't sang the same tune, I wouldn't have ended up in that situation.
It’s all their fault!
"I met your good sister again. It seems that her belly is less than two months old. Why is she sticking out her back like that?" Yang Hong, who has the most lively personality, rolled her eyes.
Liu Qingyue had no intention of talking to Liu Wanwan at all, so she called three people and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Liu Wanwan suddenly blocked Liu Qingyue's way, chin held high, "Brother Shan and I will be taking a ship out to sea in a few days to get our marriage certificate!"
Having said that, Liu Wanwan took a step forward and leaned close to Liu Qingyue's ear, "Are you feeling particularly sad now? You must feel that I stole your things, right?"
"Sister, nothing belongs to you. I can take everything away from you!"
After she finished speaking, she smiled slightly.
When Liu Qingyue heard these words, she was so angry that she clenched her fists and really wanted to beat her up.
"Don't regret it. Although you don't like that deputy leader, he is rich. That's why you agreed to him, right?" Liu Wanwan was still chattering non-stop, and Liu Qingyue took a deep breath again.
His fist clenched a little tighter.
"Hey!" Liu Wanwan looked at Liu Qingyue but she was not angry at all. She continued to push, "So you are doing this for money. You said the deputy captain..."
Before she could finish her words, Liu Qingyue raised her hand and slapped Liu Wanwan in the face, then grabbed her clothes to prevent her from falling.
