Bian Jiuxiang is very popular in the family compound.
After knowing that she had given birth, many military dependents came to the health station with their belongings to see her and to admire the twins, which were the only ones in the military compound.
Among them, Fang Ping from the third regiment leader's family came the most frequently.
It's not just because she is good friends with Bian Jiuxiang, but also because of her husband's partnership with Political Commissar Zhou.
There are no secrets in the family compound, especially since Mrs. Qian's commotion was seen by many people. In less than half a day, everyone knew what they should and shouldn't know.
Fang Ping's husband is a partner with Political Commissar Zhou, and she has a good relationship with Gu Guifen, so naturally she would not ignore it at this time.
After she and a few other good sisters drove away Mrs. Qian who wanted to see her grandson, she took the initiative to take care of Gu Guifen during her confinement.
Zhou Guifen had suffered a lot and was still sleeping. Fang Ping comforted the two little girls and told them to call her next door if they had any problems. Then she rushed to find Bian Jiuxiang. In the entire residential compound, the two of them had the best tempers.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to tell me?" Bian Jiuxiang had already taken a nap and was now leaning against the pillow drinking water. Seeing his friend's face full of gossip, he asked with a smile.
Fang Ping dragged a stool and sat beside the bed: "Hey, Yuegui, you still understand me."
Then, she pointed to Gu Guifen's ward next door and said in a low voice, "This matter has become a big deal. That old woman is promoting feudal remnants in the army. She must not live in our army anymore. If anyone dislikes her and reports her, Political Commissar Zhou will be in big trouble. Oh, I almost forgot, Political Commissar Zhao has already called Political Commissar Zhou for a talk."
Bian Jiuxiang's attitude toward Political Commissar Zhou was the same as that of her sister-in-law. She didn't think he was innocent at all.
But after all, she was her husband's colleague, so she couldn't say anything to rub it in. She just curled her lips and said, "It's none of our business. But what about Sister Guifen?"
Fang Ping smacked her lips twice, and she also felt that it was not easy to talk about Political Commissar Zhou, so she followed Yue Gui's meaning and changed the subject: "She hasn't woken up yet, ah. Her face was so pale, it was a bit scary to look at. Fortunately, she survived, otherwise the children at home would be miserable. Oh, I don't know whether I should say that Guifen was a blessing in disguise. The troublesome old woman was sent back to her hometown. Without the troublemaker, she can be the master of the family, but this loss is too great."
Chen Nongmo once again felt the sadness of an unhappy marriage from Sister Ping's chattering.
She thought that if it were her, with her personality, she would choose to divorce.
But in this day and age, divorce is a very rare occurrence.
Most people have a deep-rooted idea that they can just endure it and it will pass. There are always conflicts between couples and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In fact, when it comes down to it, it’s all because of lack of money.
Chen Nongmo believed that if Sister-in-law Gu Guifen was very rich, she would have long since stopped wanting to endure this humiliation.
Thinking of this, she sighed silently, no longer thinking about these things that affected her mood, and quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks that her sister-in-law had just used, then smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll send the dishes back first and let Qiuhua's mother come over."
Bian Jiuxiang smiled and said, "Okay, there's no need to rush to ask mom to come over, let her take a break. You too have been busy until now."
Chen Nongmo also laughed: "That's nothing, you're tired from giving birth to a child."
After saying this, he said hello to Sister Ping, then looked over at his two little nephews before leaving the ward.
Fang Ping said with a sigh: "Yuegui, you are in a very lucky place. Not only your husband, but also the most difficult mother-in-law and sister-in-law in other families love you."
Although this statement sounded a bit boastful, Bian Jiuxiang still responded with a smile: "I think so too."
= Chen Nongmo didn’t know that she had become the best sister-in-law in the eyes of her sisters-in-law.
She carried the bamboo basket all the way back home.
I found that Qiuhua’s mother was indeed not idle and was preparing lunch in the kitchen.
Chen Nongmo pushed open the half-open kitchen door: "Let me do it."
Cao Qiuhua turned around: "You're back? How's your sister-in-law?"
"That's fine. Sister Fang Ping is chatting with my eldest sister-in-law and I'll cook. You can go to the health station and keep her company."
"Okay, I've prepared food for Yue Gui, just make some for us, don't worry, just make some dough balls or something."
Chen Nongmo looked at the time and found that there was only half an hour left before his elder brother and Shao Zheng would be back. He really didn't have time to cook more dishes, so he agreed: "Okay, let's make noodles. But everyone is very nervous these days, so I'll crack a few more eggs."
Cao Qiuhua, who had already taken off her apron and was carrying the chicken soup, responded, "All right."
When it was time for dinner, Chen Nongmo only waited for Brother Shao Zheng to return.
She didn't seem surprised: "Brother went to see sister-in-law?"
Snowflakes were falling outside again. Shao Zheng stood there with his hands spread out, letting his little friend brush off the snowflakes on his body, and then he led the man into the house: "Yes, don't worry about him."
As he spoke, feeling the little hand in his palm seemed to be colder than usual, he stopped, held her hand and placed it on his neck to warm it.
In fact, the abdomen and other areas must be warmer, but he didn't have the courage to do so.
Chen Nongmo didn't expect the man to behave like this. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately smiled and said, "I'm not cold."
"Why are your hands so cold?"
"You just touched the cold water, it's okay, it will be fine in a while." Although she said that, she didn't take her hand away, but leaned on him.
Shao Zheng liked the little girl's dependence, so he put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms, and with the other hand he turned the little hand that was almost covering her neck over, treating her equally.
Like making pancakes: "Puff"
"What are you laughing at?" Shao Zheng looked down at the man.
Chen Nongmo shook his head and didn't say the words that would spoil the mood in his mind: "Well, it's really funny to think about my brother's expression when he couldn't wait for Meimei and Lili."
This sounded quite sour, and there was still some distance between the two. Chen Nongmo found it funny, but did not point it out. Instead, he released his hand that was on his neck to keep him warm, and pulled him to the kitchen.
"Are we having noodles today?" Shao Zheng picked up the apron hanging on the wall and tied it on. When he saw the noodles covering the stove, he asked uncertainly.
Chen Nongmo nodded: "It's too late. When I came back from the hospital, there was only half an hour left before you got off work."
"That's great. Don't be too tired. I'll bring the next three meals from the cafeteria." He feels sorry for his girlfriend. His girl is only 19 years old, but he can't bear to see her suffer too much.
Thinking of this, the man handed his hand to the girl again: "Help me roll up my sleeves."
This guy, he can obviously roll it with one hand, but it seems like he can't do anything after he starts dating someone. Although he complained in his heart, Chen Nongmo still helped him roll up his sleeves with a smile: "You want to come down there?"
Shao Zheng lifted the lid of the pot and found that the soup base was already prepared: "Well, help me add some fire."
Chen Nongmo sat behind the stove, picked up a few straws and stuffed them into the stove hole, and used fire tongs to lift the straws a little to make the remaining sparks burn better, then asked: "Has elder brother announced the good news to the family?"
"I have applied. Several families have called. By the way, when I called the Bian family, it was Mr. Bian who answered the phone. He told Old Chen that Chen Yi is very suitable for politics. After Old Five finishes teaching this semester's courses, he will recommend him to take the internal recruitment exam in the second half of the year."
"Ah? When was it decided?" Chen Nongmo knew that his fifth brother Chen Yi was a man of rules and regulations, and he also understood that he always had clear goals, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Shao Zheng didn't rush to answer, but asked: "Is the fire on?"
"Ah? Oh, it's on fire." Chen Nongmo came back to his senses, quickly took another handful of wheat straw and threw it into the stove hole, then continued to look at the object.
Shao Zheng explained while stirring the batter: "This is the idea of Mr. Bian and Uncle Bian. They haven't had time to tell Lao Wu yet. It's a good thing. Lao Wu has always wanted to join the government."
"Yes. Which department will he join?"
"It's hard to say. We have to see the recruitment situation at that time. After all, even if some departments are not short of people, you can't get in even if you want to."
Chen Nongmo suddenly realized that she understood the truth and was just confused because of her concern.
But what Brother Shao Zheng said is right, it is indeed a good thing, and Fifth Brother will definitely be very happy.
= The dough balls won’t taste good if left in the pot for too long, so the two of them only made their own amounts.
When Chen Wuwen came back, the young couple, who had already finished lunch, were leaning on the sofa and chatting.
The brother-in-law, who was in a good mood, saw Shao Zheng hugging his sister. His face twisted for a moment, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Instead, Chen Nongmo stood up and said, "I'll go and get rid of the lump for you."
Shao Zheng glanced at the dark circles under his brother's eyes and followed the little girl into the kitchen.
Chen Wuwen, who had been used to prodding each other recently, scratched his head in confusion and went to the kitchen to scoop cold water to wash his face.
Chen Nongmo frowned: "After dinner, you can sleep for a while. Qiuhua's mother and I are at sister-in-law's place."
In the days when my eldest sister-in-law was about to give birth, my eldest brother was the most nervous person in the family.
High-intensity training during the day and restless sleep at night are unbearable for anyone.
Chen Wuwen nodded. Just now at the health station, his wife also said, "Go to bed soon."
"By the way, have you thought of a name for the child? My sister-in-law told you to choose one." Chen Nongmo asked again, remembering that his nephews didn't have names yet.
Chen Wuwen also had a headache when he mentioned this. Mei Mei Li Li was something he had come up with with great difficulty. "I've given up. I just mentioned a couple of names to your sister-in-law, but she didn't like any of them. I'll call the elders later and let them feel embarrassed."
Chen Nongmo was just about to ask his eldest brother to tell him what names his eldest sister-in-law had rejected, so that she and Shao Zheng could have some fun, when a deep male voice came from outside the door: "Chen Tuan, Shao Tuan, are you home?"
Shao Zheng stood up and went out: "At home."
Chen Wuwen knew that he was a man who could grasp the key points. He drank the last bit of noodle soup in the bowl, put down the bowl, and pointed at his sister from a distance: "Look at what's going on. Now they have to come to our house to look for Lao Shao."
Chen Nongmo smiled and said, "Brother, you should accept your fate as soon as possible."
"You stinky girl, have no shame"
Shao Zheng came back very quickly. Without the siblings asking who it was, he took the initiative to say, "It was Lu Tao. He said that the group would play ice hockey in the afternoon and asked if we had time to be the referee."
Before Chen Wuwen could speak, Chen Nongmo spoke first: "Why are you the referee? Aren't you two going to fight?"
She had seen her boyfriend play ice hockey with her own eyes, and he could be described as absolutely handsome.
Even though he has a gentle face, he is still heroic and full of hormones when playing ice hockey.
Shao Zheng saw the expectation in his little girl's eyes, reached out and took her hand, pinched her fingertips habitually, and said with a smile: "Want to watch me play?"
Chen Nongmo nodded repeatedly: "Will you fight? Can I go and watch?"
The man raised his chin and said, "Yes, of course. Wait and see your girlfriend win the game."
Chen Wuwen chuckled twice: "You are an old man, but you still want to fight with young people. Don't hurt your waist."
Shao Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to the sourness from the 32-year-old 'old man'. He raised his hand to rub the girl's head and said again: "Wait, I will win for you this afternoon."
