After Xiao Zheng went to work, An Hua went home and started to pack up the luggage she brought, putting what needed to be put in place. If she suddenly thought of something missing, she would write it down on a piece of paper and buy it later.
While she was busy, a loud female voice rang out from outside, "Is Deputy Division Commander Xiao's wife home?"
An Hua hurriedly stepped out.
A woman in a blue homespun coat was standing in the yard with a group of other women.
The woman in the homespun jacket introduced herself, "My husband is the chief of staff here, Shi Weiguang, and he lives across the street from you."
An Hua asked: "Then how should I address you, sister-in-law?"
The woman then remembered to introduce herself, "Oh, my name is Zhou Meihua."
An Hua smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhou."
"Hey, hey, you too, you too." Zhou Meihua hurriedly urged the women behind her to introduce themselves.
At that time, the gap between rural and urban areas was huge, and they could basically be distinguished by their clothing. For example, the people headed by Mrs. Zhou were all wearing traditional clothes made of homespun cloth with buttons, and their hair was tied in a bun at the back of their heads, obviously they were from the countryside.
The women looked quite shy. They pushed and shoved each other for a long time before they started to introduce themselves one by one with a giggle. After that, they all looked at An Hua with a smile.
An Hua called out to her, "Sisters-in-law, come in and have a cup of tea."
Zhou Meihua waved her hands quickly, "No, no, we just came to see you, is there anything I can help you with?"
An Huayu: "Thank you sisters-in-law for your concern. I can still handle it for now."
Zhou Meihua stared at An Hua's hair, her eyes shining, "Mom, why is your hair like this?"
An Huan had her hair styled like a bun today, with only part of her hair tied up at the back of her head, leaving most of her hair loose, soft and smooth, like black waves.
She was wearing a yellow floral blouse, looking pure and charming.
Zhou Meihua clicked her tongue a few times, "Handsome, really handsome."
Another sister-in-law echoed: "She's so stylish and well-dressed! How did Deputy Commander Xiao, a rough man, marry such a city girl? She's really unique!"
Although these sisters-in-law have no ill intentions, "Western" is not a popular term nowadays. The book also says that Yuan Yu was particularly fond of his curly hair and spent a lot of time on its care and maintenance. Unfortunately, one day when there was a turmoil, he was forced to have it all shaved off, and it was shaved into a yin-yang style.
An Hua shuddered and immediately decided to cut her hair short.
"Listen to me, sisters-in-law. I am not a city girl. Before I came to join the army, I also had a job and lived on my own salary. I am also a...working woman!" An Hua smiled and began to establish her external personality again.
Some people don't believe it, "You are so white and tender, how can you look like a working woman?"
An Hua said seriously: "Working with your hands and feet is labor, working with your brain is also labor. As long as you do something, it is all labor. As long as it is labor, there is no distinction between high and low."
The women were confused and their ears were filled with the word "labor". In the end, only one impression remained in their minds - Deputy Commander Xiao's wife was a working woman!
An Hua said, "But I'm good at brain work, but not so good at manual labor. I see many people grow vegetables and melons in their yards. I want to ask you sisters-in-law for advice on this."
Is growing vegetables and melons a science? The women were all amused by An Hua's words. Their men often said that they knew nothing, but they really should let the men come and listen. Even the college-age daughter-in-law of Deputy Commander Xiao had to ask them for advice, so how could they know nothing? snort!
Everyone patted their chests and said:
"If you don't understand something, just ask us!"
"Even if we plant them now, you won't be able to eat them in a short time. My family has produced a lot of cucumbers this year. You can come and pick them anytime!"
"I'll bring you some tomatoes and lettuce grown at home!"
"I have a lot of onions at home. Don't buy onions anymore. Just pick them from me when you need them. We live next door to each other, so it's very convenient."
An Hua was moved by everyone's enthusiasm and invited everyone to come in and sit down again.
Zhou Meihua said: "No, no, no, I know you have a lot to clean up since you just arrived, so we'll leave first, Xiaoan, you go ahead and get busy."
Having said that, Zhou Meihua asked everyone to leave.
They came together to see An Hua, purely because they heard that she was the daughter-in-law of Deputy Commander Xiao and were curious.
After a closer look, I found that he was not only good-looking, but also had a great personality.
"She's a really nice person, much more friendly than Commander Chen's daughter-in-law, and not as scary as Ge Ren."
"It's a pity that she married Deputy Division Commander Xiao... Hey, do you think Deputy Division Commander Xiao would beat his wife? Can her small body withstand a punch?"
"That's incredible! Let's pay more attention to her house in the future and come here immediately if there's any disturbance. I don't believe that Deputy Commander Xiao would dare to beat someone in front of the neighbors!" These were said by Zhou Meihua.
"It's still Meihua's brain messenger!"
An Hua, who was separated by a wall, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She was not worried at all about the issues discussed by Zhou Meihua and others. Xiao Zheng just looked a little burly, and based on her intuition, she knew that he was not a domestic violence person.
But no matter what, her positive image has been initially established.
In fact, since An Bohuai sold the factory and company early on, the An family’s household registration certificate listed them as intellectuals.
But she couldn't be careless, An Hua silently reminded herself, it doesn't matter how pretentious and extravagant her family is, she must never show it to others!
After seeing Zhou Meihua and the others off, An Hua was just about to go back to the house when she saw a head sticking out from the wall.
Scare her!
It was the face of a young girl, and when she saw that she had discovered it, she quickly shrank back.
It's obviously a voyeur.
Over there is Yu Baoshan and Ge Hongying's home. The children in their family seem to be still very young, so the young girl should be Ge Hongying's sister who was going to bring millet porridge to Xiao Zheng in the morning.
An Huan frowned. If someone was curious about her, it would be like Zhou Meihua and the others looking at her openly. But if someone crouched in the corner and peeked at her, it would make people feel uncomfortable.
