The service center announced that there would be mutton available today, so Wang Caiyan went to queue up without even having breakfast.
"Cai Yan, here, here, I'm here, come over here."
The one who spoke was Xiao Xiaocui. She was pregnant again. With a big belly, she enthusiastically asked Wang Caiyan to go over to her place and cut in line.
Wang Caiyan hesitated because the people behind her were staring at her covetously, as if they would immediately start to attack her if she cut in line.
Xiao Xiaocui also knew that the supply of mutton was limited, and it would be bad to cut in line blatantly, so she asked Wang Caiyan to wait on the side and she helped to buy it.
Wang Caiyan thought this was a good idea, nodded and stood aside.
Unexpectedly, there was not much mutton left at Xiao Xiaocui's place, and she could only buy three pounds after buying it all.
Someone at the back was not happy, "You can't buy so much. If you buy all that, what will the people behind you buy?"
Xiao Xiaocui raised her eyebrows, not afraid at all, and said, "Did I buy too much? I wanted to buy four pounds, but this is not enough!"
"You can't be so greedy. You can only buy one kilogram and leave two kilograms for the people behind you."
"I might as well not buy even a pound and give it all to you!" Xiao Xiaocui pouted and walked away with her big belly bulging.
At this time, someone in the crowd said, "Shrew."
Xiao Xiaocui immediately turned around and looked at the person who was speaking. "Du Juan, if you have anything to say, just say it in front of me. What's the point of whispering behind my back?"
Du Juan's face flushed a little and she kept her mouth shut without saying a word.
Xiao Xiaocui was a person who would not give up even if she was right. "Aren't you also from the countryside? Who are you trying to show off your arrogance to? You don't even go home to look at yourself in the mirror. You still dream of becoming a phoenix? You're dreaming!"
Du Juan no longer wanted to cause trouble, and couldn't stand Xiao Xiaocui saying that to her, so she immediately retorted: "What are you talking about? Who is arrogant? Who wants to be a phoenix?"
Xiao Xiaocui: "Of course it's you! Everyone in the family compound knows that you, Du Juan, have high standards. To find the right person, you have to find a cadre at the battalion level or above! Why do you dislike me? Isn't it because you think I can find a battalion-level cadre, but you can't?"
Du Juan was anxious, "Who can't find it?"
Xiao Xiaocui made a face and said, "I'm talking to you! You just can't find a husband, you can't get married, just wait to live in your uncle's house for the rest of your life!"
Seeing that Du Juan was about to cry, Xiao Xiaocui stopped triumphantly.
She gave most of the mutton to Wang Caiyan.
Wang Caiyan: "Is this enough for you to eat?"
Xiao Xiaocui said: "There are only three mouths to feed in my family, so of course it's enough. My uncle has a large family, so I'll give you some more."
Wang Caiyan nodded and asked her, "Do you and Du Juan have a problem getting along?"
Xiao Xiaocui sneered and said, "I don't want to pay any attention to her. She has been saying bad things about me behind my back, saying that I relied on my uncle to marry Gao Zhe, and that I have a bad temper and will end up with Gao Zhe sooner or later."
Wang Caiyan was surprised for a moment, "She doesn't seem like someone who talks behind people's backs."
Xiao Xiaocui said disdainfully, "She's just pretending... I heard that she went on a blind date with Xiao Zhu, but she didn't like him. Oh my god, Jane made me laugh so hard that my teeth dropped. She still doesn't like Xiao Zhu? In my opinion, she's not even worthy of carrying Xiao Zhu's shoes!"
Wang Caiyan: "Even you heard about it?"
Xiao Xiaocui: "This is not a secret... In fact, from Xiao Zhu's perspective, this is still a good thing. Fortunately, Du Juan is blind and didn't like him! Look at Du Juan, what's good about her? She's not good-looking, and she likes to pretend..."
Xiao Xiaocui complained about Du Juan, then suddenly looked at Wang Caiyan and said, "Why don't you try it with Xiao Zhu?"
Wang Caiyan was surprised that the topic turned to herself and was stunned for a moment, "Why, why...?"
Xiao Xiaocui said earnestly, "Don't think that Xiao Zhu is not an officer. That's because my uncle can't leave him and can't bear to let him go! But I heard from my aunt that Xiao Zhu will be promoted at the beginning of next year at the latest. He will be sent to the army as a platoon leader to lead soldiers. From the leader to the grassroots, his promotion path is already planned."
Xiao Xiaocui raised her eyebrows at Wang Caiyan, "Xiao Zhu is right in front of you now. This is the best opportunity to catch him. Don't let it go... As the saying goes, marry a man to feed him. Marry someone who has good conditions or a bright future. Don't be silly and be fooled by a few words from those men who have nothing."
Wang Caiyan said hurriedly: "I don't even know any man..."
Xiao Xiaocui: "I know, isn't this just a precaution for you? Young girls like you are most likely to be confused by emotions and then lose their minds."
Wang Caiyan thought it was funny, "We are from the same generation, but you act as if you are much older than me."
Xiao Xiaocui: "I'm not very old, but I'm an experienced person... Anyway, Xiao Zhu is a good young man. If I hadn't married Gao Zhe, I would definitely have done something to him."
Wang Caiyan just smiled.
She neither objected to what Xiao Xiaocui said, nor did she fully agree with it.
In her life plan, getting married is not so high on the list. Moreover, even if she wants to get married, there are still some principles to abide by. It is estimated that there will not be many people who can accept her principles.
So, even after that, every time Xiao Zhu came home, he would find an opportunity to talk to her. She probably noticed something, but it didn't cause much ripples in her heart, so she didn't respond to Xiao Zhu.
Xiao Zhu is interested.
Xiao Zheng said to An Hua, "He is always in a trance. The words 'broken heart' are almost written on his forehead. Is he still thinking about Minister Yang's niece?"
"You still remember about heartbreak?" An Hua teased him, then added, "But he may not be thinking about Du Juan."
Xiao Zheng asked: "Who are you thinking about?"
An Hua told Wang Caiyan about her idea, "...Caiyan is quite opinionated and has her own ideas. It's hard to say whether Xiao Zhu can realize her idea."
Xiao Zheng sighed, "Why is his relationship journey so unsuccessful?"
However, Xiao Zheng and An Hua did not pay too much attention to Xiao Zhu.
Something big happened at home.
Yuanyuan's ducks accidentally ate rat poison and were poisoned to death.
The whole family was facing a severe enemy.
It’s over, the little ancestor is going to make a big fuss.
