Thinking about this, Qiao Jianian went to the cafeteria to get his meal.
On the way to get lunch, Qiao Jianian happened to meet Tang Wanhua who was coming home from get off work.
She was wearing a neat military uniform and holding a bag in her hand. She looked capable and energetic. When she saw him, she asked, "Why did you come to get food so early today?"
"Wanhua..." Qiao Jianian said awkwardly, "My mom and my sister are here."
Tang Wanhua paused and looked up at him: "Why are you here so suddenly?"
"They... missed me and came to see me." Qiao Jianian did not mention the ridiculous "dream" reason, so as to avoid making Tang Wanhua feel unlucky.
Not to mention Tang Wanhua, even he felt it was unlucky.
Tang Wanhua was silent for a moment, then nodded: "It's rare for mom and sister to come here, so let's stay a few more days before leaving."
Qiao Jianian breathed a sigh of relief and was grateful to his wife for her understanding.
However, Tang Wanhua made it very clear that they should stay for a few more days before leaving, instead of letting them stay here forever.
At this time, in the Qiao family courtyard, Qiao Jiawei was excitedly rummaging through Tang Wanhua's wardrobe.
There were a lot of clothes hanging in the big wardrobe, all of them belonged to Tang Wanhua.
There were bras, all of which were made of shaking cloth. Qiao Jiawei touched and selected them. She wore rustic clothes in the countryside, but Tang Wanhua had so many beautiful clothes.
"Mom! Look!" She pulled out a light blue blouse skirt with soft fabric. "This material is really good!"
Feng Guilan touched her skirt and smacked her lips: "How much does this cost..."
Qiao Jiawei couldn't wait to put on the skirt, turned around in front of the mirror, and asked proudly: "Mom, do I look good in this? Do I look like a movie star?"
Although Feng Guilan didn't know what a "female star" was, she saw that her daughter looked much prettier in the dress and nodded repeatedly: "It looks good! My daughter looks good in anything!"
Qiao Jiawei looked at herself in the mirror happily, but she felt sour in her heart.
How did Tang Wanhua live so well? These beautiful clothes must have been bought with her brother's allowance!
"But then again, this skirt belongs to your sister-in-law, right? You're wearing her clothes before your sister-in-law comes. Will she be angry and not let us live here?" Feng Guilan said with some concern.
Qiao Jiawei pouted: "What are you afraid of? Didn't my brother buy this skirt with his money? What's wrong with me wearing it?"
When Feng Guilan heard this, she thought it made sense and said no more.
His son used his allowance to buy her a skirt, so it's okay for her daughter to wear it.
Just then, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Qiao Jianian and Tang Wanhua walked in one after another.
Qiao Jiawei was still immersed in self-admiration and didn't notice someone coming in. She lifted her skirt and turned around again: "Mom, do you think I can be selected if I wear this to the interview at the Macao Workers' Union?"
Feng Guilan was just about to nod and praise Qiao Jiawei, but she noticed two people coming in.
There was another female comrade next to Qiao Jianian, who was her daughter-in-law Tang Wanhua.
Feng Guilan met Tang Wanhua's calm gaze and suddenly panicked: "Wan, Wanhua is here..."
Qiao Jiawei turned her head suddenly and saw Tang Wanhua standing at the door. Her face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
What's wrong with her wearing a skirt?
Tang Wanhua's eyes fell on the skirt worn by Qiao Jiawei. It was her favorite skirt, which she had just bought last week.
The air froze for a moment.
Qiao Jianian coughed awkwardly: "Um...the meal is ready, let's eat first."
Tang Wanhua didn't say anything, but glanced at Qiao Jiawei calmly, nodded and said, "Mom and little sister are here, why didn't you tell us in advance before you came? I only knew you were here after hearing from Jianian."
Feng Guilan opened her mouth and said: "Isn't this what Weiwei dreamed about..."
"Well, my little sister dreamed about us and missed us, so she came to the army to see us." Qiao Jianian interrupted and said, "Jiawei, change your skirt and come to eat."
Tang Wanhua said, "If my little sister likes this skirt, she can wear it. It looks pretty good on her."
Qiao Jiawei clutched the hem of her skirt, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.
What was that look in Tang Wanhua's eyes? Was she looking down on her?
Humph, what’s the big deal? She will still be abandoned by her brother and get divorced!
Qiao Jiawei gritted her teeth and swore secretly: since she had come to the army, she must grab everything that belonged to her!
