Chapter 115: Being fooled, confused
Jiang Ning was no longer surprised by Liu Xiangmei's sudden appearance.
She didn't even bother to get angry.
"Sister Xiangmei, good morning."
Jiang Ning took the initiative to greet people, his fair face full of smiles, which made people feel soft at first sight.
Liu Xiangmei immediately answered cheerfully.
"Sister Ning, good morning to you too. Alas, you city people speak differently. Even when you greet each other in the morning, you are so polite and courteous. Unlike us, when we open our mouths, we always say 'Have you eaten?'..."
However.
The more polite ones are still to come~
"Sister Xiangmei, you are standing so high, it's too dangerous, what if you fall down?"
"Be careful, be careful. Let me help you down."
"Look at this stool. It's old and a little shaky. Don't stand on it again. It would be terrible if you fell down. It would take a hundred days to heal your broken bones. That would be really painful."
Jiang Ning was full of worry and concern.
She hurried over and helped Liu Xiangmei down from the stool.
Liu Xiangmei felt warm and comfortable in her heart.
She usually stands on a stool at home, and when she picks up something, no one cares whether she will fall.
Even if the men in her family saw it, they wouldn't help.
He is nothing like Jiang Ning, who cares about me with every word and takes good care of me.
"Thank you, Sister Ning. I will listen to you and will not stand on the stool anymore."
Liu Xiangmei was moved and said so.
She didn't notice the cunning behind Jiang Ning's gentle eyes at all.
Jiang Ning smelled the aroma of food in the air.
She turned her eyes and spoke immediately.
"Sister Xiangmei, breakfast must be cooking on your stove. The aroma is wafting out. Did you add too much water? Will it burn? If it does, it will be a waste of food."
Waste of food!
Liu Xiangmei is a person who wants to split every penny into two to spend, and she hates to hear these four words the most.
She immediately started to get anxious.
Jiang Ning continued speaking immediately.
"Sister Xiangmei, please go back and check it quickly. Make sure it doesn't get burnt."
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law will listen to you and go back to check it out!"
Liu Xiangmei nodded repeatedly, took a step without thinking, and hurried back to her house.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning raised the corner of his mouth, and his smile was beautiful and a little ostentatious.
His eyes sparkled, hiding a hint of joy.
She walked back to her room with easy steps.
In the house next door...
Liu Xiangmei stood in front of the stove, holding the pot lid in her hand, looking at the big iron pot where steamed buns were being steamed. There was one-third of water at the bottom of the pot.
She didn't make any breakfast!
It’s just a few steamed buns and steamed corn bread!
Even if the water boils away, it won’t burn!
When she was listening to Jiang Ning's words just now, how could she have forgotten about this matter in a daze? Instead, she believed whatever Jiang Ning said.
She obviously didn't mean to say that!
At the beginning, she was clearly asking about Yang Rui!
"Yes! It's about Yang Rui! This Ning girl didn't tell me anything! How could I be fooled by her? I'm so confused!"
Liu Xiangmei slapped her thigh, feeling so regretful and confused!
…
In the days that followed.
The sewing class is working hard to prepare for the arrival of new recruits.
Jiang Ning became more careful and serious when arranging workload.
Check and care about the condition of each sister-in-law.
To prevent something like what Yang Rui did when she concealed her injury from happening again.
Yang Rui and Zhao Shuisheng "quarreled at the head of the bed and made up at the foot of the bed", and the storm of that night was over.
However, the conflict, or generation gap, between the two has not disappeared.
Both sides took a step back, so it seemed that everything was at peace.
The days go by.
After unremitting efforts, the batch of sheets and quilt covers were finally completed.
Everything was neatly arranged and placed in cartons.
A squad of soldiers was sent from the military camp.
All the cardboard boxes were loaded onto jeeps and then transported to the troops, where they could be distributed to new recruits as they arrived.
Everyone has new clothes and new quilts, and no young person who has made contributions to the country will be treated unfairly.
When the soldiers moved their things.
The sisters-in-law looked at this scene and found it incredible and deeply moved.
"I didn't expect that we actually finished it! At the beginning, I thought it was impossible! There are so many things, and we are just laymen, how do you think we finished it?"
"What? You still look down on women. Haven't you heard of 'Women hold up half the sky'? We are also working people, we have plenty of power!"
"That's right! If anyone says that we only eat and do nothing, I will be rude to her! Look at the calluses on my fingers, they are all evidence! They are the traces of my hard work!"
The sisters-in-law chatted happily with each other.
Especially their eyes.
Sparkling, the most joyful thing ever.
This is a collective effort, everyone has contributed to it, and this honor belongs to each and every one of them.
Talking here.
A squad of soldiers over there also finished moving their things.
But these young men in military uniforms did not leave immediately. Instead, they -
"Line up!"
"March!"
The soldiers, with their heads held high and their chests puffed out, lined up in a row in neat uniforms, moving in unison.
They walked up to the sisters-in-law.
The teams lined up one by one.
Standing at the front of the team is the class monitor.
The squad leader held his head high and gave the order in a loud voice.
"salute--"
All in unison!
The young soldiers raised their arms and saluted the sisters-in-law in a proper manner.
military salute.
It is the highest respect a soldier can have.
Without even saying another word.
All the gratitude is in this action.
The majestic momentum is overwhelming.
The sisters-in-law were completely stunned when they saw this scene.
Some were panicked, some were excited, and some were moved.
"No, no... You said we have no status and didn't do anything special, so why are you saluting us? No, no, no, please don't! No!"
"I... Sister Ning! This is my first time! I've only seen them salute in unison when the leader appears. I actually felt it once today..."
"Oh my god! If I tell this to others, I'm afraid no one will believe it! My eyes are red... Sister Ning! Thanks to you for getting us to do this together! Otherwise, we wouldn't be where we are today!"
Any effort you make is made in the hope of being recognized.
The sisters-in-law smiled brightly and talked happily around Jiang Ning.
At this moment, Jiang Ning also felt extremely honored.
It is even more rewarding than completing a complex and gorgeous embroidery work.
