"Zhao Yong, didn't he go to the countryside last year?"
"Yes, I want him to come back. After all, he is a junior high school student and young, so he will definitely learn things quickly.
Don't worry, I promise to make you obedient. As for the price, our family can afford 800 yuan. Sister Wang, this is the limit I can offer. If it's more, Gangzi and the others will have objections."
She gave birth to five children. Zhao Gang married his master's daughter. In order to learn skills, he temporarily lived with his father-in-law and became a half-son-in-law. Zhao Shu got married.
Zhao Yong is the third one. He is an average child and does not receive much attention, but that does not mean she doesn't care about him.
Wang Taozhi thought about it and felt that the price was a bit high. If he tried to make some arrangements, he would definitely be able to sell it at a higher price, but he couldn't guarantee whether the other party was reliable or whether he could come up with the cash.
He Xiaotuan said that the fewer people who knew about his job sale, the better, and he still had to find acquaintances to conduct the transaction privately.
She nodded. "Okay, wait a couple of days. I'll come find you when things are settled. Go write a letter to Zhao Yong and ask him to pack his things. Remember to prepare the money. I won't wait for you."
This is settled. Du Chunhua couldn't help but feel overjoyed. "Don't worry about the money. Even if I go to my parents' house to borrow, I won't give you anything less. Sister Wang, I really owe you a lot this time. Otherwise, I don't know when my Yongzi will be able to come back."
"We've been friends for over ten years. How could I not think of you when something good happens?"
…
Haicheng Military Region Family Compound
"Brother Rui, have you packed everything? My brother just sent a telegram saying he has a new grandson. Should I pack two cans of milk powder and their old toys to take back?"
"Sure. I have a truck to pick me up on this mission, so I can leave everything. I'm packing the kids' things right now. Do you think I should bring you some extra clothes?"
"No, I want to take some cloth from the wardrobe. I specially asked someone to exchange it for me. The colors and patterns are beautiful and suitable for Dongbao to wear."
He Xiasheng sat on the chair, holding his face and watching Qiao Rui bent down to pack things. He didn't know what he was thinking, but his eyes became more and more obsessed.
He Xiaofeng, who had a face similar to his father's, walked up to her and said, "Mom, are we still staying at grandma's this time? Can we go to the mountains to play?"
"There are a lot of mosquitoes and snakes in the mountains. Have you forgotten that you and your sister were bitten several times last time? This time you are staying at your aunt's house."
He Xiaoyun frowned, "My aunt-in-law is fighting with me for meat. I don't like her."
That’s right, even the twins who only went back home during the Chinese New Year were subjected to indiscriminate bullying by the original owner.
He Xiasheng didn't even blink when he heard this. "You guys don't lack meat to eat, so what's wrong with giving her up? My aunt is no better than your cousins in the Qiao family."
The so-called cousin was the one who came over to snatch their toys and pushed the two children to the ground.
He Xiaoyun stopped talking immediately. She was afraid of comparison in everything. Compared with the people in the Qiao family, her aunt was simply too gentle.
He Xiasheng didn't care what the child thought. He was only thinking about going back to visit his senior brother and master, asking for more health-preserving prescriptions, and collecting some good medicinal herbs to nourish Qiao Rui.
The man had been away on missions for several months in a row, and she felt distressed seeing it.
There was a commotion outside, followed by a knock on the door. Huo Tingxun opened the door and straightened up, saluted, "Battalion Commander, the regiment commander is looking for you."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
He Xiasheng suddenly felt that this person was hateful and ruined their time together, so he reluctantly sent Qiao Rui out.
Listening to the girls in the nearby family compound praising Deputy Battalion Commander Huo for his handsome appearance and upright character, he felt disdainful.
Donkey dung balls may look shiny on the surface, but Huo Tingxun's ambition is so pungent that he's about to turn into game.
In particular, he has little respect for his own men. He runs to the commander every now and then to show off, and goes to his house to help, saying that he is enthusiastic. But why don’t you see him helping those enlisted men?
Hypocrisy! This man wanted to take all the credit for the team's achievements. If the Huo family hadn't been demoted due to problems, who knows who would be the chief and vice chief in the camp now.
Qiao Rui is still better. He values family, disdains to flatter others, concentrates on training his subordinates, and learns combat deployment whenever he has time. His military exploits are all earned through his own hard work.
So what if he was the head of the group? If he dared to offend me, the chief of surgery, he would be given the lightest anesthesia and die in pain if he got hurt in the future.
However, the team leader also knew what was going on and did not let a few words shake his trust in Qiao Rui.
Glancing at his children, He Xiasheng said calmly, "You guys clean up first. Don't leave Daddy alone. I'm going out for a while. Don't open the door for anyone who comes."
After giving the instructions, she hurried out the door, thinking of taking back the few clothes that she had asked the tailor to make for Qiao Rui. She was going back to her hometown to visit her relatives and couldn't wear military uniform all the time.
…
The name of He Ruixue's nephew was decided upon: He Yannuo. He Xiaotuan spent several days reading books and then discussed more than a dozen words with Lu Lan before deciding on the name.
Preparations for the baby's full moon party had to be made, so Wang Taozhi moved the vegetables into her cellar like a hamster hibernating, and she stopped selling the produce from He Ruixue's vegetable garden.
She will store the ones that can be preserved, and blanch the green leafy vegetables that are difficult to preserve in boiling water and then dry them. Then she will soak them, chop them up, and mix them with chili and sesame oil. It will become a cold dish that the locals love.
After seeing her parents off, He Ruixue packed up and went to the class reunion.
The gatherings nowadays are not as elaborate as those in later generations. They are just for everyone to get together and strengthen the relationship among classmates.
As a celebrity in the class, He Ruixue received a notice from Jiang Mengheng early on, and the venue was set at a classmate's home because his father was a level 5 chef and his cooking was delicious.
As soon as she walked in, people couldn't help but marvel at her. He Ruixue was pretty and tender like a flower bud in high school, but now she has a more calm aura.
This face seemed to have grown up, becoming more beautiful than before, with such grace and demeanor that people couldn't bear to look away.
"Rui Xue is here, welcome. Brother Jiang told us to reserve the best seat for you. Please take a seat."
The person who greeted her was Jiang Mengheng's junior brother from high school, Lu Cong, who was a slightly fat man.
He Ruixue nodded, walked to the seat he designated and sat down. Someone immediately poured her some water. Well, this time it was Jiang Mengheng who did it himself.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
His skin was thicker than when he just graduated, but he still blushed when he faced the goddess. He glared at Lu Cong and said, "Xiao Cong, can you call me Ruixue? Show some respect and call me Comrade He."
"Yes, I was presumptuous."
Lu Cong comes from an ordinary family and is currently working as a temporary worker. It is unknown when he can get a permanent position.
It was not until he really entered society that he realized that his high school deskmate Jiang Mengheng was the most important person he could come into contact with. If it were not for this class reunion, he would not even be qualified to talk to him.
When he came, he made up his mind that no matter what, he would satisfy Brother Jiang today and at least let him complete his work for the sake of their past friendship.
