"Mom, mom."
Yanyan cried so hard, even though she was just calling for her mother, Xiang Nuan could sense her dissatisfaction and accusation from her crying.
"Mom is here. Mom is back. Look, what fun things did Mom bring you?"
As she spoke, she took out a small rag doll from her bag. Yanyan stopped crying the moment she saw the doll, but she started crying again after just a few seconds, but her two little hands were still tightly holding the doll.
Xiang Nuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and coaxed the little girl for a long time before she stopped crying.
After coaxing the child, Xiang Nuan said goodbye to the nanny and took the child home.
When she arrived at her house and was about to open the door, she saw an old lady who was much older than Wu Xiaoying coming out from next door.
Just now when she got home to put her things away, she heard some noise next door, but she was in a hurry to pick up her daughter so she didn't pay attention. Yao Jinhua's family had been gone for so long, it was normal for someone to live next door.
The old lady looked up and down at Xiang Nuan and Yan Yan in her arms, then grinned, "You are Captain Yan's wife, right? I heard that you went to the provincial capital to study? You just came back, right?"
Xiang Nuan nodded politely, "Yes, Auntie. I just came back today."
The first time Xiang Nuan saw Yu Caihua, she didn't want to have much dealings with her. The pair of shrewd and calculating eyes embedded in her kind round face made people feel uncomfortable for some reason.
"We just moved in a few days ago, and we'll be neighbors from now on. I heard that you had a good relationship with your previous family? They say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Let's interact more often in the future. My son was also just transferred here. He is in the same battalion as your husband and is an instructor."
Yan Fangming and her son Jiang Fei are now leaders of the same level in the same battalion. Now that their families live next to each other, she naturally has to help her son build good relationships with his neighbors.
Xiang Nuan frowned in confusion when she heard this. Isn’t Yu Guangcheng the instructor of Yan Fangming’s battalion?
She didn't ask Yu Caihua even though she was confused. Instead, she smiled and said, "Really? That's a coincidence. The kid's dad is almost off work, so I'll go home and cook. We'll talk later."
Yu Caihua smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, you go ahead and do your work."
After Xiang Nuan opened the door and entered the house, she stopped smiling and turned back home. She went into the kitchen and said to her daughter-in-law Qi Guifen who was cooking, "I just saw the young wife in the east. She has a small face and a figure. She looks like a grown-up girl even after giving birth to a child. She doesn't look like an honest person, but like a foxy woman."
Hearing this, Qi Guifen helplessly stopped what she was doing and looked at her and said, "Mom, don't say that. It might be bad if someone hears it."
This mother-in-law has a big mouth and has offended many people because of it, but her voice is not taken seriously in the family and she dare not intervene at all. She can only give a reminder like she is doing now.
But she thought it was a reminder, while Yu Caihua felt that she was being taught a lesson by her daughter-in-law. Her face turned cold and she cursed loudly, "I'm not stupid. Didn't I say this behind closed doors? I think you really don't know your last name. You still dare to teach me a lesson? What? Do you still want to ride on my neck and shit? You're a useless thing!"
"Mom, I'm not teaching you a lesson, I'm just reminding you."
After eight years of marriage, she gave birth to a daughter and never got pregnant again. Her mother-in-law was very resentful, and Qi Guifen also felt sorry for her husband.
"Bah! I asked you to remind me? What? Hurry up and cook! You're wasting time, do you want to starve me to death?!"
Yu Caihua slapped Qi Guifen on the shoulder, and Qi Guifen grimaced in pain instantly. Her mother-in-law never hit her in the face, for fear that outsiders would see and ask questions, which would have a bad influence on her husband. In the eyes of outsiders, her mother-in-law has always been a kind and open-minded mother-in-law.
Xiang Nuan told Yan Fangming in advance that she would be back at noon today, so Yan Fangming went straight home after work. When he saw the smoke coming out of his chimney, the curve of his mouth widened infinitely, and his feet walked faster and faster.
