Chapter 106 Arrival
The old lady quickly remembered something and said to the naughty child seriously: "Xiao Xu, you are not allowed to call her sister from now on. You should call her aunt."
The little girl blinked her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes. She said stubbornly, "I don't... I just want to call you sister..."
Wen Kexin noticed that the naughty child started to make a fuss, and advised with a headache: "Auntie, there is no need to be so particular, just call her sister, it will make us feel closer."
The old lady smiled with relief and said, "Well, I like sensible children like you. In the car, I wanted to ask the comrade my son sent to pick me up to thank you... I didn't expect you two were a couple, and you are also in our army. Let's talk about it when we get home."
Wen Kexin murmured in her heart: What the old man said is quite clear.
"Auntie, what are you thanking me for? We are all acquaintances. I think I will help anyone who encounters this situation."
The old lady continued enthusiastically, "Thank you for saving my life! You are here to visit relatives and stay at the guesthouse, right? It's not convenient to eat there, so you can usually come to my house for dinner."
How shameless do you have to go to the chief's house for dinner?
Wen Kexin hurriedly shook her head and said, "Auntie, there's really no need. I can handle it alone. I will eat whatever my Song Mo eats."
She was surprised by the way she said the name "my Song Mo" so smoothly, and her face unconsciously turned pink.
Song Mo, who was driving, interrupted, "Auntie, my wife doesn't live in a guesthouse. I applied for a family quarters the day before yesterday, and the house is ready."
Wen Kexin was shocked. The day before yesterday? It should be the day I received the call from myself.
I felt deeply moved that this man acted very quickly!
The old lady blinked her eyes, as if she suddenly remembered something, and slapped her thigh and said, "I remember that before I went to my daughter's house, I would wander around the family quarters. There was a house that was unoccupied. It was not far from my home, and I could walk there in five minutes. This is really great. I will have a place to visit people in the future."
Wen Kexin was depressed again.
These grandparents and grandchildren are sometimes understanding and sometimes confused. It's hard to tell their personalities. I really don't want to associate with them.
Both of them would disturb people's sleep on the train. Who knows if they would do something like knocking on the door early in the morning?
Isn’t it annoying to be woken up even when you’re sleeping in?
On the surface, she didn't know what to say, but just said calmly: "Auntie, I can't stay for a few days. The autumn harvest will come soon. I want to go back to my hometown for the autumn harvest."
Song Mo, who was driving, believed it and was suddenly filled with disappointment.
I had wanted my young wife to stay with me for a few more days, but now I’m thinking about leaving before we even reach the military camp.
He blurted out: "Wife, we are not busy..."
The voice revealed deep disappointment.
Wen Kexin raised her hand and secretly touched his shoulder.
Feeling the slight movement of the young wife's hand, Song Mo immediately understood that what the young wife said just now was to fool the old lady. He suddenly felt cool and comfortable in his heart, as if he had drunk ice cream in the dog days of summer.
The old lady asked in confusion: "My daughter, you are too honest. What does the work of the production team have to do with you? By the way, why don't you join the army?"
"Auntie, I'm not old enough and I haven't got the certificate yet."
"You are too honest, kid. You can get the marriage certificate by giving gifts to the captain in your hometown and changing your age. My daughter-in-law, Xiaoxu's mother, also changed her age to get the marriage certificate. It is more important to enjoy the good life with the army and give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible."
The old man's considerate words just now disappeared in less than three minutes, and his calculating thoughts reappeared.
Such ideas are completely contrary to my own thoughts.
Wen Kexin suddenly remembered a saying from later generations: People with different ideals cannot work together!
Moreover, scientific research in later generations has proven that if girls get married and have children too early, it will cause irreversible damage to their bodies.
She didn't want to walk a single-plank bridge for her child and then die early.
He stated his attitude in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Auntie, since the country stipulates that women are allowed to register for marriage at the age of 18 and men are allowed to register for marriage at the age of 20, that makes sense. Besides, Song Mo is a soldier, and he would never do such a shameful thing to deceive his superiors and hide the truth from his subordinates."
The old lady was immediately embarrassed and secretly regretted bringing up her daughter-in-law's age.
After several contacts, she found that she had no advantage at all when talking with this girl.
Although Song Mo, who was driving, did not say a word, he could tell that his young wife's words were sarcastic.
Although he did not interact with these family members, the chief's mother and son were very famous in the family area.
Hearing what my young wife said, I guessed that something was going on.
He wouldn't ask questions when outsiders were present.
After listening to the young wife, not wanting to upset the old lady, she promptly said, "Auntie, my young wife has been spoiled since she was a child, and she lives in the countryside, so she doesn't think before she speaks. Please don't mind it."
Although the old lady was scolded, she remembered that the other party saved her grandson and said nonchalantly: "I don't mind, I like this girl's personality."
Wen Kexin immediately understood that the old lady must also be from the countryside. Not only was she self-righteous, but she also couldn't tell right from wrong.
Of course she understood what Song Mo meant and looked out the window.
After chatting for a while, we found that the jeep had left the city and arrived in the suburbs, and several mountains appeared in the distance.
Those hills are covered with lush green trees.
She changed the subject in time and said, "Brother Mo, how far is the camp? Are there any mountains there?"
Before Song Mo could answer, the old lady said in a boastful tone: "There are mountains around the military area, and the family members go up the mountains to pick mushrooms and chop firewood. I am too old to go up the mountains, but my son has a high position, and the orderly will take the initiative to do whatever the family needs."
Wen Kexin sighed inwardly, the old lady was really careless with her words. It was true that your son held a high position and had a service soldier.
They are working with the leader. How can they mix housework and work? It is not their responsibility to help, okay?
This kind of personality will definitely hold my son back.
What could she say about such a thing?
I can only continue to change the subject, "Brother Mo, when I was at home, I often went to the mountains to collect herbs. I wonder if there are any in the mountains here?"
Song Mo, who was driving, tightened his grip on the steering wheel and asked anxiously, "You didn't go to the mountains, did you?"
She has never been to the deep mountains, but she often wanders around the border.
Of course I wouldn't say that, so I quickly said in a scolding tone, "I'm not stupid, of course I'm picking herbs in the place where the villagers often collect firewood and pick mushrooms."
Song Mo slowly loosened his hands that were tightly gripping the steering wheel.
The old lady who was unwilling to be lonely interjected: "Girl, picking herbs is so tiring, how much money can you make? My son earns more than 100 yuan a month, which is enough for the family."
Wen Kexin was speechless for a while. The old man had a strong presence and was always refreshing.
Is it really okay to talk about the chief's son's salary like this?
She didn't want to talk, so she yawned, closed her eyes and dozed off.
The old lady talked to herself for a few words and didn't hear the two of them respond. She looked at her eldest grandson in her arms and found that he had fallen asleep and was snoring softly.
Then he closed his mouth and the car suddenly became quiet.
Time passed quietly and we arrived at the military camp.
The military jeep stopped at the gate for inspection. Wen Kexin heard voices, opened her eyes and saw the neat military camp outside. She asked in surprise, "Are we there yet?"
"arrive!"
Wen Kexin then realized that not only the naughty child had fallen asleep, but the old lady was also asleep.
She could only call out softly: "Auntie, we're home..."
