Chapter 203: Cake for Wang Xiulan

This time when I went home for the New Year, the team was bigger than before.

However, if you start directly from the provincial capital, you don't have to get up before dawn to take a bus to the county, then take a bus from the county to the city, and then from the city to the provincial capital, and so on.

They took a bus directly to the provincial capital railway station and arrived in more than half an hour.

You can even have lunch at home before leaving!

After dinner, Gu Ye’s bodyguard Zheng Qian sent them to the train station.

Four kids and a lot of luggage.

However, with the presence of two strong men, Gu Ye and Shen Guowang, Shen Zhiyou and Chen Cuijuan were left empty-handed this time.

My sister didn't go back with them.

Originally, Chen Cuijuan and Shen Zhiyou both asked Gu Ning to live together. Gu Ye had built a new house at home and there was room for them to live, but Gu Ning still refused.

My younger brother and his family went back and lived in my younger brother's wife's house. Everyone felt uncomfortable since she was a stranger there.

More importantly, my brother and sister-in-law went back to reunite with their family.

As for her...her biological parents who sent her away when she was just born, and her adoptive parents, she has no reason to go back.

She didn't know what kind of trouble she would bring to Gu Ye and the others if she went back, so she simply decided not to go back.

She spent the New Year alone in the staff housing compound. She had everything she needed to eat and drink at home, and she felt comfortable.

Before going back every time, Shen Zhiyou would first deliver a letter to her family.

Shen Dahe would always ask the commune's tractor drivers to go to the county bus station to pick them up.

The journey was much shorter this time, and when they got home, they felt more energetic than before. When the people from the production team saw them, they would not have dared to ask any questions if Shen Dahe and Shen Guoqiang had not been there.

"This is...Oh my god, Cuijuan and Youyou are back!"

"What, this is Chen Cuijuan!?"

Shen Zhiyou has been pretty since she was a child. Her two older brothers’ clothes all had patches on them, but hers didn’t, so everyone was used to her being pretty.

But how come Chen Cuijuan...she goes out to help her daughter take care of the children, and she looks younger and younger?

Before Chen Cuijuan came back, she specially picked out new clothes that her daughter made for her!

The dark blue cotton jacket really enhances your skin tone!

There is also that set of scarves and hats. Chen Cuijuan hasn't been exposed to the sun much in recent years, so her skin has become whiter, her face has gained flesh, and all her wrinkles have disappeared.

He looks like he is ten years younger!

"You guys are exaggerating, if I'm not Chen Cuijuan then who am I?"

Chen Cuijuan's mouth almost flew to the back of her ears with laughter, and she pretended not to know what they were surprised about, "How can people get younger and younger? Nonsense!"

When she spoke, Chen Cuijuan spoke Mandarin!

Although she has an accent, to the team members who have always lived in the production team and rarely go to the county town, Chen Cuijuan has the accent of a city person!

"Really? How come you can speak Mandarin now?"

He just happened to run into Liu Aihong who was out throwing away the garbage.

Chen Cuijuan almost didn't recognize Liu Aihong when she saw her, and Liu Aihong almost didn't recognize Chen Cuijuan when she saw her.

They are both in the same grade. Chen Cuijuan doesn't worry much and has only a few gray hairs, while Liu Hehua's hair is all gray and she looks twenty years older than Chen Cuijuan!

Liu Aihong stared at Chen Cuijuan and the others, and when they were about to pass by each other, she hurriedly lowered her head.

The others saw Liu Aihong's reaction and knew about her past conflicts with Chen Cuijuan, so they deliberately asked, "What's wrong, He Qing's mother? Did you almost fail to recognize her?"

"You see, this woman really needs to marry the right person. Look at Chen Cuijuan. She used to be worse than you, but now she lives like a city dweller!"

When she got home, Chen Cuijuan's first question was, "Why is Liu Aihong so haggard?"

"Well, I worked on the farm for three years before, and then I helped He Qing take care of the children. He Qing has given birth to five girls, and she wants to have more. She wants a son, but she doesn't want to take care of him. She left everything to Liu Aihong. Liu Aihong hasn't had a good night's sleep in years. How can she not look haggard?"

Shen Zhiyou knew that He Qing had so many children. In the book, He Qing gave birth to eight.

She wants to give birth to three more.

"It's not necessary to be like this with a child."

"Oh, that girl He Qing is exactly like her father He Jiabao, heartless. She ran to the capital to chase Jiang Wenbin and left the children at home. How can she not get old raising five children by herself?"

Chen Cuijuan: “….”

"Okay, let's not talk about them. Let's eat quickly. Guoqiang, you and Xiulan, bring out the food. After dinner, we'll go to your house. The house is clean and has everything ready."

Shen Zhiyou smiled and nodded: "Okay."

While eating, Wang Xiulan looked at her mother-in-law, who looked much younger, then looked at Youyou, who was still so beautiful after giving birth to four children, and her younger brother who was wearing a military coat. She felt very complicated.

Seeing her father-in-law Shen Dahe happily picking up food for Nian Nian, she rolled her eyes and cleared her throat: "Youyou, haven't you been transferred to the provincial military district now? Isn't that very big? It should be very short of people, right?"

As soon as her sister-in-law opened her mouth, Shen Zhiyou knew she was going to speak.

Nodding, "Yes, we are short of people. Sister-in-law, let me tell you, Goudan and Tiedan are both good seedlings, just like me, with good physical fitness. You should hurry up and let them study more, feed them more meat and rice, and when they are admitted to the military academy, they will be company commanders directly after graduation! When the time comes, you can get a promotion and get a dormitory, and take you and your brother and sister-in-law over. Maybe we can even be neighbors!"

Wang Xiulan was so moved by the picture painted by Shen Zhiyou that her eyes were brighter than light bulbs!

I even forgot that I originally wanted to ask my brother-in-law to help me get my child to join the army!
