Chapter 198: I'll keep you in suspense~

After the first person applauded, there was the second and the third.

The sisters-in-law clapped their hands non-stop.

Jiang Rou was facing everyone, so she saw the first person who started applauding.

"Ms. Hong!"

Jiang Rou spoke unexpectedly.

She had no idea when Yang Hongping came in, nor did she hear any approaching footsteps, which was enough to show how focused she was just now.

Lin Yulan then also noticed Yang Hongping.

He hurriedly said, "Sister Hong."

Following the sound, the other sisters-in-law turned their heads one after another, saw Yang Hongping, and stood up hurriedly.

Yang Hongping had the aura of an old revolutionary. Even though she was always friendly and amiable towards other people, everyone still respected her subconsciously.

No one dared to speak loudly, and they all made way and gave their seats to Yang Hongping.

Yang Hongping was the most relaxed one and spoke with a smile.

"The newspaper was just delivered to me, and after I read it, I wanted to send it to you. I didn't expect you to be so quick. Are you interested in all of them?"

"Sister Hong, we were lucky. We met the young comrade delivering newspapers on the way. After much persuasion, we borrowed a copy from him. We have to return it later."

Chen Meilan replied.

She was being conservative in saying this.

Ever since Li said before he returned that he would write about his heroic deeds in the newspaper, several sisters-in-law have been waiting every day to see what was in the newspaper.

We were lucky today as a supply ship happened to come by.

As soon as a new batch of newspapers arrived, the sisters-in-law saw the photo at first glance.

The photos have been published, so you can probably guess what the news is about.

A group of people are rushing to grab a newspaper.

After hearing this, Yang Hongping probably knew what was going on, but didn't say anything.

Instead, he nodded.

"Just take the newspaper. Don't ask if it's worth borrowing. I'll talk to the young comrade. You can keep the newspaper. But don't do it again next time. The army is a place where discipline is important."

"Don't worry, Sister Hong, there won't be a next time."

"Sister Hong, can I have a few more copies of this newspaper? I'm in this photo! I want to cut out the newspaper and hang it on the wall. It will look so nice."

"Sister Hong, I want it too, I want it too..."

Yang Hongping agreed, "Okay, this is not an unreasonable request. I will write to Li and ask him to keep a few extra copies so that everyone can have one."

After the wish is fulfilled.

The sisters-in-law were so happy.

Yang Hongping looked up at Jiang Rou and asked.

"When I came in just now, I saw you reading the newspaper to everyone. You read it very well. Were you a radio announcer before?"

"No." Jiang Rou used the original owner's experience to explain, "Sister Hong, I just graduated from high school, but was delayed by some things afterwards. I didn't get a place in college, and I haven't participated in the job placement yet. I didn't have a job before."

“Not a broadcaster?”

Yang Hongping was a little surprised when she heard this. The announcer's voice condition is secondary. The most important thing is the ability to understand words.

The newspaper was just delivered today, and Jiang Rou just saw it, but she was able to read it so fluently.

Yang Hongping said with emotion, "That's really rare. You are very talented in this area."

"That's right! When Rou was reading the news just now, I cried. It was so touching."

"Me too, me too..."

"Sister Hong, you mentioned before that we also want to have our own radio station on the island. When the time comes, let Sister Rou be the announcer. It will definitely be suitable."

Yang Hongping nodded, "This is a good idea. When the radio station is ready, you can give it a try, Sister Rou. Reading news and family letters to everyone can also enrich your life."

Does this count as finding a job?!

Jiang Rou originally thought that the situation on the island was different from that in the city. There were no restaurants or factories, and the only thing she could do was wash clothes and take care of children.

Days will get boring after a while.

With Yang Hongping's words, Jiang Rou now has something to do in the future.

No matter whether you get paid or not, just sit down and talk about it first.

"Sister Hong, I will definitely complete the mission!"

Jiang Rou happily agreed.

With Sister Hong around, everyone spoke more seriously and there were fewer flashy jokes.

In addition, Yang Hongping obviously had something to discuss with Lin Yulan, so it was not appropriate for the others to stay any longer. After some conversation, they began to leave in twos and threes.

Jiang Rou was also ready to leave.

Lin Yulan looked at her several times, and it was obvious that she had something to say, but considering the presence of the people around her, she couldn't speak at this time.

Before leaving, Jiang Rou took the initiative to walk to Lin Yulan's side.

"Sister Yulan, I'm leaving today. I promised to learn knitting from you. I'll come back to you tomorrow. You must teach me."

Jiang Rou looked at Lin Yulan while she spoke and blinked, hinting at her.

Lin Yulan was stunned for a moment, then responded, "...Okay, come tomorrow morning, I will definitely be at home."

"No problem, it's settled."

Jiang Rou gently held Lin Yulan's hand before turning and leaving.

…

Jiang Rou stayed at Lin Yulan's house for a long time during this trip.

Thinking about Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua, the two children were alone at home, and they quickened their pace as they walked back.

"Xiaochuan, Xiaohua, I'm back."

Jiang Rou pushed open the door and walked into the yard. She saw the two children in the sunlight at a glance and met Zhou Xiaochuan's gaze.

On the contrary, after she entered the room, Zhou Xiaochuan turned his eyes away in surprise.

"Why are you still playing in the yard in such a hot sun? It's so sunny. Xiaohua must be sweating. Come on, let's go inside."

"Ah... It's already this late. Are you hungry? I should have made lunch a long time ago..."

"What should I eat for lunch today? I harvested some eggs this morning, and the cucumbers in the yard are ready to be picked. How about some egg noodles with some shredded chicken and cucumber? It's sour and sweet and delicious."

Cold noodles?

To Zhou Xiaohua, this was something she had never heard of before.

Aren’t all noodles hot? Why are some of them cold?

The little glutton immediately followed Jiang Rou's footsteps and walked into the kitchen together, standing on tiptoe to watch Jiang Rou busying around.

Zhou Xiaochuan was originally walking behind, but he hesitated for a moment and caught up in the blink of an eye.

Usually when Jiang Rou cooked, Zhou Xiaochuan would help Jiang Rou light the fire and take the initiative to sit behind the stove.

But today…

Zhou Xiaochuan didn't sit down for a long time, but stared at Jiang Rou's face instead.

It was as if he was trying to read something from Jiang Rou's face.

When Jiang Rou went out, she said she was going to take care of something at school, but after she came back, she didn't say a word about it.

Did those people agree?

Still don't agree?

Zhou Xiaochuan's dark eyes were filled with confusion, anxiety, and... nervousness.
