The military district is only half an hour farther from Shilitun than from the market.

Just as Shuying told Mrs. Gao that she wanted to buy lobsters, she also wanted to return the maltose, sugar and cloth that Chen Wei had given her last time.

This eldest cousin is not someone to be trifled with, and she doesn't want to get into any trouble by accepting her things.

After riding for an hour and a half, we arrived at Shilitun. Shuying first asked the villagers where the educated youth work station was and what time the work would end.

Suddenly a new face appeared in the village, and her appearance was so distinctive that the villagers dared not look at her. The women working in the wheat fields also talked about her. Before, they thought that the young women who had just come from the city were quite distinctive, but they didn't expect that this girl's delicate appearance completely overshadowed the young women who had just come from the city. And her skin color was not as white as this one. It was so white that it was dazzling and eye-catching!

After asking about the location of the educated youth center in the village, Shuying rode his bicycle towards the center.

The youth educated center in Shilitun was even more rudimentary than the one in Hongyang Commune where she lived. There were a few rooms made of loess, and the yellow earthen walls had several cracks from the sun.

It is surrounded by a simple earthen fence.

At this time, some educated youth had returned from work in groups of three or four. Shuying approached and asked two female educated youth who had just returned.

"Comrade, may I ask if Comrade Chen Wei has returned?" Shuying asked.

Coincidentally, Shuying met Tian Chunhua's sister Tian Lanhua this time. Tian Lanhua recognized Shuying and tried to get close to him, saying, "Hey, you are Chen Tuan's wife, right? Why are you here at our educated youth center?"

Tian Lanhua asked as she looked at the bright and beautiful tree shadow with envy and hatred. Not only was she well dressed, she also wore a watch on her wrist.

This watch is at least one or two hundred yuan. Oh my God, how can Chen Tuan's wife be so lucky? She is much luckier than her elder sister.

Before going to the military district, the person she envied the most was her elder sister, who was stupid but found a reliable and capable man like her brother-in-law.

After staying in the military area for a while, the person she envied the most was Chen Tuan's wife.

Apart from having an exceptionally pretty face, she was from the same countryside as her, so how could she marry the extremely capable Chen Tuan and enjoy a life of luxury?

Tian Lanhua has always felt that since her elder sister could marry a man like her brother-in-law, why couldn't she also marry a capable and talented man?

Being an educated youth in the village is really not a good thing. Tian Lanhua used to just want to take advantage of others, but now she is planning to go to the military district someday and ask her elder sister to introduce her to a soldier who has the ability to give her a good life.

"Who are you?" Shuying didn't recognize her at first. It was only when she said that Tian Chunhua was her sister that Shuying recognized her. After looking at her carefully, he found that the female educated youth in front of him did look a bit like Captain Wang's daughter. However, Captain Wang's daughter had a round face, while Captain Wang's sister had an oval face. Apart from some freckles on her face and dark skin, she was indeed pretty, but her eyes were much more shrewd than Captain Wang's daughter.

Tian Lanhua was still thinking that Chen Tuan’s wife’s husband had a higher military rank than her brother-in-law, and she and her sister were colleagues, so she wanted to get close to him, and maybe he could introduce her to a good partner.

Immediately, Tian Lanhua became particularly attentive to Shuying, to the point where it was almost overwhelming.

"Mrs. Chen Tuan, Comrade Chen Wei took a leave of absence this morning. How do you know her? Who is she to you?"

In fact, Tian Lanhua and Chen Wei had a pretty ordinary relationship. Tian Lanhua especially couldn't stand Chen Wei's aloof and weak look, especially since Chen Wei was the prettiest among the female educated youth, and many male educated youth in the village showed their courtesy to her, which made Tian Lanhua extremely jealous.

Shuying didn't want to cause trouble so he naturally didn't reveal the true relationship. When he learned that Chen Wei was not there, he took out the bag covered with a black cloth and asked her to help pass it on.

"Okay, okay, I'll pass it on to you later. My sister told me that you take special care of her." Tian Lanhua didn't feel embarrassed at all. She lifted the cloth in front of Shuying. When she saw malted milk, sugar and cloth inside, her eyes almost popped out and she was so greedy.

The female educated youth next to Tian Lanhua saw the things in the basket and her eyes became greedy and she kept drooling.

Since they went to the countryside, they have gotten up earlier than chickens and eaten worse than the pigs raised in the village. Those from better-off families can still get some allowance, but those from average families can only eat coarse grains and mixed grains and hard steamed buns.

Tian Lanhua and the female educated youth next to her were really jealous of Chen Wei at this moment, especially Tian Lanhua. What was the relationship between Chen Tuan's wife and Chen Wei? Why was she so generous to her?

Tree Shadow: “…”

As if he knew what they were thinking, Shuying said, "The things in this basket belong to Comrade Chen Wei. She had something to do and stayed at my house for a few days. Just let her know when you pass it on to me."

Although Captain Wang's sister is not very reliable, there is still a female educated youth to help keep an eye on it, so the things should not be lost.

Tian Lanhua and the female educated youth suddenly realized, but Tian Lanhua thought more about it. She felt that Chen Wei must have deliberately taken these things to the military region to show her courtesy to Chen Tuan's wife. Look, in the past few days, she has been particularly close to Captain Lu's family.

In all likelihood, she wants to cast a net in the military area and ask Chen Tuan's wife and Captain Lu's family to introduce her to a good match in the military area. Isn't this trying to snatch the good match from her?

Tian Lanhua hurriedly sent the educated youth around her away. After she left, she hurriedly told Chen Wei about how close she was to Cao Rou, the family of Captain Lu, and deliberately provoked her: "I don't know what Chen Wei has done for Captain Lu's family. Captain Lu's family has been visiting from time to time in the past few days, and Chen Wei has also been pretending to be sick and asking for leave to go to the military district from time to time. This morning, she asked for leave again to go to the military district. Mrs. Chen, didn't she come to see you?"

Without waiting for Shuying to return, Tian Lanhua added fuel to the fire and said that Chen Wei was particularly good at being attentive and pretending to be weak to seduce people. She let the men help her with all the work in the fields and did nothing herself.

Therefore, you must never introduce any good partners to Chen Wei.

After returning the things, Shuying asked the villagers who usually went to the market to sell loaches and eels.

Someone happened to be there at noon, and in addition to loaches and eels, his family also caught lobsters and snails.

The snails and lobsters are quite big, filling up a small bucket.

He mentioned lobsters once when he went to the market. They looked ugly and had an earthy smell. People who had never eaten them really didn't know how to eat them. They were even worse than loaches and eels. After that, he no longer sold lobsters or caught them.

Coincidentally, today, a few children at home mischievously grabbed a small bucket of lobsters.

The middle-aged man never thought that this ugly and fishy lobster could be exchanged for money, but it made his whole family very happy, and the children were even happier.

The middle-aged man also recognized the tree shadow. She had bought loaches and eels from his stall many times before. He was definitely a big customer.

Ever since she started buying eels and loaches from his stall, his family has been living a lot better lately.

Shuying bought a bucket of lobsters, a bucket of eels and snails, but she was too lazy to buy loaches, so she decided not to buy them this time.

Shuying paid 20 cents more for a bucket of lobsters than for a bucket of loaches and eels, one dollar per bucket, which made the middle-aged man and his family very happy.

In the eyes of the middle-aged man, catching lobsters in the fields is not troublesome. A small bucket of lobsters only takes a few hours. It is simply making money. It is much easier than earning work points by working in the fields. You have to know that in the village, if a strong man like him works day and night all day, he can only earn ten work points if he dies.

The middle-aged man was very excited and asked him if he wanted to go to the next market. He would then let a few children at home go and catch them.

Shuying thought about it and thought that eating lobster occasionally was fine, but not often. However, seeing that the children in the middle-aged man's house were eager to see her, Shuying said straightforwardly, "Go to the next market! Bring me a bucket!"

"become!"

While riding back to the military area, Shuying was still thinking about what Captain Wang's sister said. Why has her husband's eldest cousin suddenly become so close to Cao Rou recently?

In the evening, when the Gao family was having dinner in the main hall, Mrs. Gao picked up her bowl and suddenly said to her husband, "It's been almost a year since my sister-in-law and Chen Tuan got married, but how come she is still as thin-skinned as an unmarried girl!"

Gao Tuan was too lazy to gossip about women, but the three Gao brothers were quite interested and listened attentively while eating.

"Go away, what are you three boys listening to?" Mrs. Gao hurriedly drove the three boys away from the table and told them to eat and play outside in their yard.

After the three boys left the table with their bowls of rice and laughed, Mrs. Gao said, "It seems that my sister-in-law and her husband really want a child! I asked my sister-in-law today, and she didn't deny it!"

"It would be great if the couple had a baby sooner! I think Commander Chen is thinking about it too!" Since Xia Lina got pregnant, Commander Fang has been talking about this and that in the army, making sure everyone knows about the pregnancy. Commander Chen is probably jealous and wants a baby.

When Captain Gao mentioned Deputy Captain Fang, Mrs. Gao also thought of Xia Lina. Since she became pregnant, Xia Lina had often told the other sisters-in-law in the military region and her about her pregnancy.

Just now when she was cooking dinner, she came to her and told her that she was pregnant and wanted to eat sour food. Deputy Captain Fang also planned to go to the back mountain to pick red bayberries for her tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

That would be fine, but her words were a little unpleasant to the ear, and she even hinted that she was good at fertility, while my sister-in-law had a delicate body and it was difficult for her to bear children.

She didn't tell this to her brother and sister-in-law for fear of upsetting them.

For dinner, Shuying prepared delicious dishes as usual, including braised pork, long beans stewed with eggplant, and seaweed egg soup. After playing outside, Chen Yi came home sweating all over and climbed onto the table. When he saw the meat dishes on the table, Chen Yi smiled happily, but soon his heart ached again.

The little boy's painful look made Shuying couldn't help laughing.

"Auntie, meat is expensive! We have to support a younger brother in the future." Chen Yi sighed like a little adult.

Shuying deliberately joked: "How about our family eat salted vegetables every day like Gaoyuan's family?"

Chen Yi was so scared that he shook his head, turned around and hugged Shuying, buried his face in her arms and smiled. He also knew that his aunt was deliberately joking with him.

He knew from his younger brothers that his family had the best food. His auntie's cooking was especially delicious, unlike Gao Yuan's mother and Fang Xiaobao's grandmother who were picky.

Chen Xi was returning to the main hall from outside the courtyard when he overheard the conversation between the boy and his wife. He first handed over this month's salary plus allowances and various receipts to his wife.

This man gets his monthly salary allowance on the same day every month and gives it to her on the same day. Shuying is used to it and plans to leave some money on him. Chen Xi would usually ask for it, but this time he refused, saying that he doesn't need to spend much money on a normal day. He looked at her with deep eyes and told her not to save money and not to learn from Mrs. Gao to make salted dishes every day!

He can afford to support as many children as she wants!
