Chapter 159 Forced Demobilization
Xu Wanning picked up the kettle, which was filled to the brim.
She took out a few water glasses, dried a few glasses of water, and poured a basin of hot water for Mother Lin and Lin Quan.
"First soak your feet and rest for a while."
Even though he was lying on a soft bed, he was still a little tired after not sleeping well for several days.
Lin Quan hurriedly took the basin from Xu Wanning's hand.
"Sister-in-law, I'll just come. You should take a rest."
Xu Wanning had just responded when she heard someone calling the door outside the house.
"I'll go out and take a look."
Outside the fence, the braid was holding a ceramic basin with several white-faced steamed buns in it.
"I just saw you passing by my house with several people. I thought you should be back, so I specially brought some white flour buns for you."
Mahua braid handed the basin to Xu Wanning: "This is what I am going to do today I just steamed it in the morning, it's delicious."
"Thank you." Xu Wanning took the basin without being polite, "My mother-in-law and sister-in-law are here, but I'm a little tired after riding in the car for a few days, so I'm taking a rest now. I'll introduce you to them tomorrow. I might ask you to get in touch with them more during this period."
After all, Mother Lin and Lin Quan have just arrived in Beijing and are unfamiliar with everything around them.
Twist braid is a familiar little girl, so it is most suitable for her to contact Mother Lin and the others to break this barrier.
"Don't worry, I promise to let them integrate into our military family quickly."
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. You can go and have a rest."
As he said that, he got closer to Xu Wanning and lowered his voice. : "I'm telling you, Chunfang has been looking for trouble these days, so you have to be more careful."
"I know that, thank you."
After entering the room, Xu Wanning placed the white-faced steamed buns on the table. He went up and explained to Mother Lin: "This is sent by our neighbor. We just arrived and we probably won't be able to start cooking in a short time."
"These are white-flour steamed buns. Look, this one is almost half a catty. " It's heavy. This is too expensive, An Ning, please give it back quickly."
Even if the Lin family's conditions are better, Mother Lin still thinks that white flour steamed buns and white rice are the best things in the world.
Many people in their village don't even have enough to eat, let alone white rice and flour.
This girl makes seven or eight white-faced steamed buns as soon as she makes a move. This friendship is too precious.
Xu Wanning smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll just give it back when I find a chance next time."
Twist is a careful person. When he brought the steamed buns over, he even deliberately rubbed them around the pot. They are still warm now. of.
Xu Wanning handed a big steamed bun to Mother Lin and Lin Quan respectively, "I only ate dry food on the train, and my stomach feels uncomfortable. Eat the steamed bun while it's hot."
A meal on the train was too expensive, Xu Wanning wanted to buy it, But Lin's mother and Lin Quan both persuaded her.
How much would it cost for seven people, three adults and four children, to eat every meal on the train?
Xu Wanning didn't want to get angry with Mother Lin over such a trivial matter, so she ate dry food with them.
The four children were already sleeping in their small rooms, so Xu Wanning packed up the remaining steamed buns and waited for them to wake up before eating them.
"Mom, you and Lin Quan sleep for a while, and I'll go out."
The dinner time agreed with the family was around five-thirty, and it was only just over two o'clock now, so she could do a lot of things.
Mother Lin was getting older, so she couldn't resist the waves of sleepiness, so she and Lin Quan sat back to back on the wooden sofa to take a nap.
Although Aning said that separate rooms were arranged for her and Lin Quan, she went in and saw that the mattress and sheets on the big bed were brand new, and she could even smell the sun when she got close.
The old woman didn't dare to touch this good thing, so she could only lean on the sofa.
Xu Wanning had already dug out the things she wanted from the package and went out. She didn't know that Lin's mother and Lin Quan had wronged her in order not to mess up the house.
Xu Wanning knocked on Sister-in-law Ren's door with the specialties she brought from the Black Province.
"Comrade Xu, are you back? Come in quickly."
Sister-in-law Ren enthusiastically let Xu Wanning into the room and quickly peeled an apple for her.
"Come on, come on, have an apple, it's very sweet."
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Ren."
Xu Wanning also gave Sister-in-law Ren what she had brought.
"They are all specialties I brought from my hometown. They are just dried mushrooms. They are delicious and cannot be bought outside. And this, canned oranges, is made by myself. I brought a lot of them. Sister-in-law, you can give each of your sons a little."
"Comrade Xu, this is too expensive
." Sister-in-law Ren looked embarrassed: "I have never seen canned oranges, but the canned yellow peaches in department stores cost five or six yuan. One can, I’m afraid it’s just a lot more canned oranges.”
“Well, I’ll keep one can, and you can take the rest back.”
Xu Wanning held down Sister-in-law Ren’s hand: “Sister-in-law, don’t be polite to me, I told you. I made it myself, and the cost is very low."
After hearing what Xu Wanning said, Sister-in-law Ren accepted the can without any burden.
"By the way, sister-in-law, did anything big happen in our family home while I was away?"
The smile on Sister-in-law Ren's face instantly faded, and she cursed "bad luck."
"Do you remember Hou Chunfang? I don't know how that person's brain grew, but she forcefully forced her cousin to demobilize."
What? demobilization?
Isn't Hou Chunfang's cousin sister-in-law Yang's lover, Captain Shen?
Judging from Sister-in-law Yang's tone, Captain Shen might be promoted to battalion commander. Why was he suddenly demobilized?
"It's not because of the house!"
"She didn't change houses with you, so she forced her cousin's family to change houses with her. Her cousin didn't agree, so she made the matter bigger."
Sister-in-law Ren suddenly lowered her voice . Voice: "I heard that before her cousin joined the army, he committed something in his hometown. Later, when he joined the army, the village cadres suppressed it and concealed it from the people sent to investigate. Hou Chunfang exposed this matter. , her cousin was forced to demobilize. "
Demobilization is just a nice way of saying it, but they all know what the actual situation is.
Xu Wanning was amazed when she heard this.
"Then Sister-in-law Yang probably hates her to death."
"That's not true!" Sister-in-law Ren shook her head helplessly and sighed: "But the organization praised Hou Chunfang. After all, her cousin's crime was not a small one."
"However, after this incident, the organization has explicitly banned it. You are not allowed to change houses in the future."
Whoever gets it will belong to whom. If you don't want to at the beginning, you can tell the organization that if you can coordinate, you will coordinate. If you can't, you must obey.
"Will this matter affect Chief of Staff Shen and Lin An?"
"Don't worry, Old Shen can handle it."
Hearing this, Xu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how you say it, the matter of changing houses has come to an end.
