Chapter 286 Gossip

After hearing this, Liu Yinyin actually heard a lot of useful information.

Miao Yan smiled and said, "My husband Huang said that the school has been renovated and we can enroll the children in two days."

For them, the opening of school is a good thing.

They all have children, and if they can drop them off at school during the day, they won’t have to worry about it.

Gu Yanyan was not old enough to go to school, so Liu Yinyin and Gu Chengdu didn't pay much attention to the news in this regard.

Liu Yinyin is actually more concerned about the nursery's affairs. However, although Gu Cheng and his team have raised their opinions with their superiors, things have not been implemented yet and it takes time.

I don’t know whether the nursery can be established.

Ma Guilan sighed, "You guys are so out of touch with the news. I don't even know who the school teacher is."

Yu Jingjing, the wife of Captain Liao, also has a son. She was surprised and said, "Who is it? I'll buy two things and send them to her later. Please forgive her for worrying about it. My family is too naughty."

She was worried whether the teacher could control her son and make sure he didn't get into any trouble.

Ma Guilan lowered her voice and said, "They are all military family members. One is Deputy Commander Zhou's wife Yu Xiaoxiu, and the other one..."

Afraid that the men outside might hear them whispering about the army leader, Ma Guilan spoke in a very low voice: "I heard that she is also a family member of the army, and the daughter-in-law of Brigade Commander Wei."

"Really?" Miao Yan asked in surprise, "Is Commander Wei's wife particularly educated?"

Brigade Commander Wei...Liu Yinyin had also met him once. He was quite old, probably around 50 years old.

But I have never met his wife Liu Yinyin.

Ma Guilan grumbled, "I heard he was a high school student."

Miao Yan said excitedly: "With Commander Wei's wife as a teacher, I feel relieved to send my child to school."

Nowadays, high school students are also educated people. Moreover, considering that Commander Wei’s wife is older, she must have experience in educating children.

Ma Guilan forced a smile: "That's not necessarily true. You don't know anything yet, right? Commander Wei's wife has just joined the army. She is only 20 years old this year..."

"What?" Miao Yan exclaimed, "Twenty years old? Is she the wife or daughter of Commander Wei?"

Ma Guilan quickly asked her to lower her voice: "She is the young wife that Brigade Commander Wei just married. She used to be a female soldier in the art troupe. I heard that she dances very well and sings beautifully."

A hint of disdain immediately flashed across Miao Yan's eyes. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words back.

After all, she is the wife of a military leader, and it is not good for them to plot against her behind her back.

Especially the men outside, if they knew that they were secretly plotting against their leaders, they would probably turn against their relatives!

Ma Guilan and Yu Jingjing thought the same thing. Although they complained in their hearts, they didn't say anything.

The topic was quickly moved away.

Miao Yan is a local from Qingshi and is familiar with the situation on the island. She told the group, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter. In summer, typhoons are most likely to hit the island. You should be careful and close the doors and windows at night. Don't try to stay cool."

A typhoon is no joke. When the wind is strong, people may be blown away.

Miao Yan added: "It's easy to have power outages when a typhoon hits, so remember to prepare more candles."

There is no need to worry about other things. The houses in the family compound are built sturdily enough. As long as the doors and windows are closed, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Ma Guilan regretted it immediately after hearing this: "I saw the candles at the market this morning, but forgot to buy them..."

However, the supply and marketing cooperative also sells candles, so I can go buy some later.

The time passed quickly as they worked and chatted. When it was almost time for dinner, a strong aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.

There were only two vegetarian dishes left to cook, so Ma Guilan asked a few people to go out and eat first, and she could do the rest of the work by herself.

There were already two large tables set up in the living room. There were quite a lot of people there, so everyone was sitting crowded together. The younger children didn't even have a seat and had to sit directly on their parents.

Gu Cheng was eating with Gu Yanyan in his arms at the moment, and there was an empty seat on the left.

Liu Yinyin walked over and sat down.

Ma Guilan prepared two tables of delicious food, which included eight courses.

Braised pork, stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts, crab with scallion oil, braised prawns, stir-fried squid with onions, clams with garlic, steamed sea bass and steamed egg.

The vegetarian dishes include spicy and sour potato shreds and stir-fried cabbage, which have not yet been served.

The staple food is mixed-flour steamed buns.

There was no other way. There were too many guests, and Tian Pinggui’s monthly food allowance was limited. He also had to send food back home every month.

There was not enough white flour at home, so we had to mix it with cornmeal.

In fact, being able to eat mixed-flour steamed buns is already a luxury for ordinary people.

We all lived through hard times, when food was precious, and no one thought mixed-wheat steamed buns were bad.

Nowadays, not many families can afford to eat white flour every day.

The person sitting next to Liu Yinyin happened to be Yu Xiaoxiu.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. Liu Yinyin almost didn't recognize each other. She whispered, "...Sister Xiu, I heard that you are going to be a teacher in the school?"

Yu Xiaoxiu has become different from before. How should I put it...she used to be thin and small.

Now, her body has become much rounder, and Liu Yinyin almost suspected that she was pregnant.

Yu Xiaoxiu smiled shyly: "Well, I just went to try it out, but I didn't expect that I would be recruited."

She actually didn't have the idea of ​​going to work. After all...for her, the most important thing was to have a baby as soon as possible.

Yu Xiaoxiu was still a little worried. She didn't know what her mother-in-law would think when she knew she was going to work.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "You have experience, no one is more suitable for this job than you."

Yu Xiaoxiu forced a smile and said nothing more.

Seeing that she looked depressed, Liu Yinyin exchanged a few words of greeting and didn't say anything else.

Gu Cheng put a big shrimp into her bowl and said, "Eat first."

Liu Yinyin narrowed her eyes and smiled at him: "Got it, Captain Gu!"

Tian Pinggui, who was sitting on the other side of Gu Cheng, saw this and teased, "Look, it's still Captain Gu who loves his wife and is afraid that she will be hungry. Let's eat slowly and don't eat like starving ghosts."

Soldiers do eat fast.

Liu Yinyin's face turned slightly red after hearing what he said.

Ma Guilan had just brought out the dishes. Upon hearing this, she glanced at Tian Pinggui and said, "Do you think everyone is like you, only thinking about their own stomachs?"

Tian Pinggui laughed and took an empty bowl to put the food in: "Eat less, leave a bite for my wife..."

Gu Cheng kicked him and said, "If there is any food left over later, I will stuff it into your mouth."

The table was well-prepared with food, especially the mixed-wheat steamed buns, which filled a whole basket and satisfied everyone.
