Chapter 28 Eating Watermelon



The old master looked at the girl in front of him, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Are you interested in making clothes?"

"A little bit, but I don't plan to make clothes." Because she has more important things to do, to gain goodwill points.

Although making clothes is possible, it is too slow and she has no skills. She now has a general direction - agriculture.

The old master sighed with regret and stopped forcing himself. After all, there was no one to carry on his craft.

"This dress is not difficult to make, but you have to wait a little longer. I still have a few sets of clothes that I haven't finished." The old master answered Song Zhi's previous question.

"Okay, how much will it cost to finish all of these?" Song Zhi nodded to show her understanding. The master had wasted a lot of time making this sofa cushion a few days ago, and there was a first-come, first-served order for making things. She was not in a hurry for the next two days.

"A top is eight yuan, a pair of pants is six yuan, two tops, two pants and a vest, the vest is five yuan, the total is 33 yuan. Since you are an old customer, I will give you 30 yuan this time." The old master was very willing to make more friends, and this girl looked like she came from an extraordinary family.

"How can that be possible? It's not easy for you to make money." As he said that, he counted out 33 yuan and stuffed it into the old master's hand.

After Song Zhi left, the old master looked at the money in his hand and had a better impression of this girl. It was not because of the three more dollars he gave her, but because of the girl's attitude towards work. She was an upright person and not being greedy could avoid most of the problems in the world.

Song Zhi hurried home before noon. Thinking that there were not many vegetables left at home, he decided to go to the vegetable market to buy some.

I rode my bike around the corner to the vegetable market and happened to meet Qian Jiali who was coming back from lunch.

But she was riding her bike fast, so she just smiled and nodded as a greeting.

Qian Jiali looked at Song Zhi who was passing by her. She heard yesterday that she bought a new bicycle and rode it to town. It was a small women's bicycle.

She didn't care much about it at first, thinking it was just a bicycle. She would buy one when her husband got his salary this month and she saved enough money.

As a result, today, when she saw Song Zhi riding his bicycle past her, her face turned ugly, and she felt that the woman next door was mocking her.

She felt very disdainful in her heart. This kind of woman would definitely be the target of criticism in the compound in the future. She had just arrived for a few days and she was repairing the toilet and buying a bicycle. She was not considerate of her man at all.

Although she herself is not considerate and most of her family's money is spent on her, she never reflects on herself and only feels that it is her right to spend money. She married a rural man and gave him face.

It's only right that all the family's money be spent on her.

As she was thinking, she arrived home. Seeing the cabbage porridge on the table again, she became even more angry. "Why is this again? Can't we buy some meat? Aren't you tired of eating this all day?"

Tian Yangjiang is a quiet and honest man. He doesn't like to talk. After training every day, he runs straight back to cook for Qian Jiali. Everyone in the army knows that he is afraid of his wife.

Seeing his wife scolding him, he was not angry at all. Instead, he comforted Qian Jiali and said, "I went too late this morning and the meat is gone. I will go early tomorrow morning to cut some meat and we can cook it."

Seeing his servile appearance, Qian Jiali became even more aggressive. "I asked you to cook a meal, but you can't do it well all day. I really don't know what you can do?"

Tian Yangjiang seemed to have figured out that his wife was in a bad mood today. He couldn't say anything nice, and he couldn't get anything out of her. He mumbled for a while, not knowing how to answer Qian Jiali, so he sat at the dinner table in silence, listening to his wife scolding him.

"Eat, eat, eat. Is that all you do? You can't even say a word. Don't send money to your parents this month. Let's buy a bicycle first." Qian Jiali said righteously after scolding him.

Tian Yangjiang's face turned grim when he heard her say this. "My parents are still waiting for me to send money back to buy medicine. Can you slow down the bike?"

"Why are you delaying? I say you don't need to take this medicine. Look how much money you've spent on medicine since I got married. The money I was given could have bought you a few bicycles. Last year you said you were going to buy one, but this year you haven't even seen the shadow of a bicycle. The New Year is coming soon. When are you going to buy one?"

When Tian Yangjiang heard what his wife said, he knew he had to buy it, but he couldn't ignore his parents. His parents were old, and he only had one sister. It was hard enough for his sister to take care of his parents alone at home. Her in-laws were already very unhappy. If he didn't send money back, the family would be in chaos.

"Okay, let's buy it. I'll go ask the political commissar for an advance on my salary."

"You are not allowed to go. What do you mean by advance? If you advance this month, won't you use it next month?" Qian Jiali didn't want to let the neighbors laugh at her, so she stopped them angrily.

"Carrie, our father needs to take medicine all the time for his illness. He can't stop taking the medicine." Tian Yangjiang was used to hearing his wife accusing him and had never refuted her. Today was an exception.

Qian Jiali was also stunned. Her husband had never had his own opinion and always listened to her in everything. If she told him to go east, he would never go west. But today the sun rose from the west.

"Okay, if you plan to keep sending money back, we'll get divorced."

Tian Yangjiang's face was full of disbelief, but more of it was anger. He was originally an ordinary-looking country man who relied on his strength to join the army. At the age of 27 or 28, he had no connections or background, but he fought alone to reach his current position. He was indeed a very powerful person.

But at this moment his eyes were bloodshot and his face was red, which looked very creepy.

Qian Jiali was also frightened by his appearance. She became a little panicked and threatened, "What are you doing? Do you still want to hit me? Don't forget that you are a soldier. If you dare to hit me today, I will make you pay for it."

Tian Yangjiang didn't know how the two of them had ended up in this situation. Since his wife was a city girl who married him, a rough man from the countryside, he knew that his wife had many grievances in her heart and that she had no choice but to marry him at that time.

But since he had married her, he should shoulder the responsibilities of a husband. Before the wedding, he was full of hope and joy. He wanted to work hard to make a name for himself in the army so that his wife and family could live a good life. However, his wedding night was a cold shower for him. His wife did not like him, and he could even see disgust in her eyes.
