Chapter 150: A poor man has a strong will

The military wives have great craftsmanship, making everything from insoles to scarves, and even fake collars for shirts.

The girl who gave her the fake collar was a little young, and looked about the same age as Chu Sangning. She smiled shyly and said, "I made it myself, and the sewing is not very good-looking."

Chu Sangning retorted, "No, she's very beautiful."

Seeing that she liked it, the girl smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, pointing at Chu Sangning's collar and saying, "If your clothes are not dry after washing, you can use this as a replacement."

Chu Sangning touched her collar somewhat awkwardly. She was wearing a white shirt underneath, so it wasn't a fake collar, right?

Knowing the girl's intention, Chu Sangning smiled and said, "Thank you, it's really useful."

"Wen Zheng's wife's craftsmanship is really good. I made these socks myself. It's cold here, so you can put on a layer of socks when you wear cotton slippers at home. Young girls should take good care of themselves, otherwise you will get sick when you get older."

Almost everyone in the family building had arrived. Even those who couldn't come due to some matters asked others to deliver the gifts they had. The exchanges between people showed their appreciation for each other.

Today you treat us to a meal and I bring some food; tomorrow your family needs help with something and I lend a hand; these are all interpersonal relationships.

The women sat at one table, a few children sat at another, and even the military officer's wife brought her daughter with her. Chu Sangning had a very deep impression of her.

It’s been such a long time since we last saw each other, but the little girl’s face has become plump and her eyes are sparkling.

"Come in and sit down. We'll be eating soon."

The children's table was filled with Arctic Ocean, candies, chocolates, and more than ten dishes. The little guys were dancing with joy.

"Children like to make noise, so don't disturb you." The military wife smiled gently, sat next to Chu Sangning and talked to her.

"That's no big deal. Children are just a little naughty." Chu Sangning is lively and active by nature, and likes any child as long as they are not naughty.

Everyone enjoyed the pork trotter soup, crispy pork belly, and fried spinach. The women talked about family matters and their conversations could not be separated from their children.

Chu Sangning had no say in the conversation. They were all married, some even had two children, but she was the only one who was still single.

Somehow the topic suddenly turned to her, and a woman jokingly asked, "Chu Zhiqing, when are you and Battalion Commander Jiang planning to get married?"

"That's right, we are still waiting to drink your wedding wine and share in your joy."

In the past, Chu Sangning was very resistant to getting married and getting a marriage certificate, but now, she pursed her lips and smiled softly, "When there is good news, I will definitely let everyone know."

All the people in the house were women. They didn't drink or fight. After dinner, they helped to clean up the kitchen and carried their own benches and tables away. Unexpectedly, Chu Sangning chased them out.

Each of them stuffed a bag of food in their mouths, "Don't be disgusted, sisters-in-law. Heat it up for the children when you get home."

What's so bad about rejecting pickled vegetables? Besides, there's nothing left to eat now, so who can complain that meat isn't tasty?

I just felt that Chu Sangning was too polite. I already felt embarrassed to bring the children over for dinner, and now they didn't even want to accept the food or the food.

"No, no, keep it for yourself."

"How can I take it back? Sang Ning is too polite."

It was like the scene at home during the Chinese New Year when the elders gave their children New Year's money. Several children looked up at their mothers blankly, pushing and shoving each other.

In the end, they continued to do it with embarrassment. After the women took their children home, they saw the things inside and smacked their lips in amazement, "Chu Zhiqing is really generous."

Pour the pig's trotters and chicken into a bowl, it's a whole big bowl, enough to eat for two days.

The military wife did the same. She poured the food given by Chu Sangning into the basin and was cleaning the house when she saw her own daughter following her. She suddenly took out a handful of toffee chocolates from her pocket and handed them to her.

"Mom, have some candy."

The military wife thought that the young lady had stolen it, and frowned, "Nier, what did mom tell you? We are poor but ambitious. How could we steal the candy from your sister Chu's house?"

Xu Nier was still a child. Seeing her mother’s stern face, she was so scared that she couldn’t speak, and tears fell down her eyes.

“But…but they took it all.”

"Just because they took it, you have to take it? If they go to rob in the future, will you follow them?" The military wife's eyes were full of guilt. She had no money in her hands, and the lady had never heard anything good come out of her mouth.

It was wrong for her to steal candies and chocolates when eating. She didn't teach her well.

"It's Mom's fault. Nell, remember, you are not allowed to take things from me in the future, okay?"

"I know. I won't do that again."

When Chu Sangning came over, he saw the mother and daughter of the Xu family hugging each other and crying. The key door was not closed tightly, and the crying was faint and could only be heard clearly if you were very close.

She stood at the door, hesitating, not knowing whether she should go in or not at this moment. Just when Chu Sangning wanted to turn around and leave, and find a suitable time to come back.

Xu Nier glanced and saw it, "Mom, Sister Chu is here."

The military wife wiped her tears and said, "Sang Ning."

Chu Sangning was very embarrassed, holding the clothes in her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, these two clothes of mine are no longer wearable. You have great craftsmanship, can you alter them so that they can be worn by the children?"

Worried that the army's wife would not accept it, Chu Sangning jokingly said, "Please don't mind me wearing it."

"I don't mind, I don't mind." The military wife took the cloth. It was soft and could be made into an autumn shirt or pants if it was shortened. The material was good.

"The child was ignorant and just grabbed a handful of candy. I was just scolding her, but I didn't expect that I couldn't hold back my tears and shed two tears."

Chu Sangning suddenly understood. Seeing the embarrassment in the woman's eyes, she smiled and said, "It's nothing. Come to my house often in the future, Ni'er."

After parting with the Xu family mother and daughter, Chu Sangning told Jiang Xingyan about this matter when he came back, and sighed: "What a tiring mother, she has to take care of the children every day."

Jiang Xingyan stared at Chu Sangning intently. Hearing her words, he couldn't help but laugh secretly. She was still a little girl, but she spoke like an adult...

Chu Sangning didn't hear Jiang Xingyan's answer. He turned around and saw someone staring at him. He rolled his eyes at him unhappily, "What are you doing? I was just talking to you."

"Well, we won't let our children suffer in the future."

Jiang Xingyan also knew about the Xu family's affairs, which was caused by the chaos at home. As soon as Sang Ning married him, he brought his people here to follow the army and lived his own life.

As he was talking, Jiang Xingyan suddenly hugged Chu Sangning's waist, his tone full of expectation, "When is the New Year? I can't wait."

It was still early for the New Year, so Chu Sangning pushed him away, took a towel and went to the bathroom to wash up, and said softly, "Hmph, wait a minute."
