After hanging up the phone, Song Li asked the post office staff about the time. It was already half past eleven. She had been on the phone for nearly half an hour.
Worried that Mrs. Wang and Huang Lili might be worried about her, she paid the phone bill and hurried to the stall.
Song Li didn't know why, but just after she left the cold skin stand, Huang Lili discovered that she was missing.
Huang Lili's neck became sore from listening to Song Zhi talking about dressing tips, mainly because the person standing in front of her was taller than her, so she had to stand on tiptoes and stretch her neck to see Song Zhi who was talking in front of her.
It's no wonder that Comrade Song Zhi's arguments are very logical and make a lot of sense.
She moved her neck and glanced behind her, and found that Song Li, who was standing behind her, was gone.
Huang Lili was too distracted to pay attention to the activities. She looked around but didn't see Song Li.
This scared Huang Lili.
Before leaving this morning, Jiang Weiguo specifically reminded her that Captain Fu's wife had a poor sense of direction, and asked her to pay more attention to her when she went out, and it would be best if they went together wherever they went.
He also said that Captain Fu was already old and had finally found a wife, so he shouldn't lose her.
Although the latter sentence was a joke, Huang Lili knew how important Song Li was to Fu Yanci.
She listened to Comrade Song Zhi talking for a few minutes, but she actually lost Song Li!
"Has anyone seen Little Sister Song?" Huang Lili called out to the sisters-in-law who were concentrating on listening to Song Zhi impart some dressing tips.
Mrs. Wang was the first to come back to her senses. She glanced behind her, not at Song Li, but at Director Huang's anxious face, feeling a little puzzled.
Do you think Director Huang is making a big deal out of nothing?
Song Li is an adult. She is not here. Maybe she went to the toilet or was busy with something. She will definitely come back to find them when she is done. Is Huang Lili so anxious?
She didn't know about Song Li's "directionlessness" yet, so she consoled her, "Director, don't worry, little Song Mei may have gone to the restroom."
Huang Lili was anxious, but it was not impossible that what Wang Sao had said was possible.
She stood there and waited for a while. Five minutes passed and Song Li still didn't come back. Huang Lili couldn't wait any longer and walked to the public toilet nearby.
"Wang Jia, I'm going to the restroom. You wait here for a while. If Xiao Songmei comes back later, please run over and let me know."
Although Mrs. Wang didn't know how anxious Huang Lili was, she still nodded.
Dahongsao at the side grabbed Huang Lili and said helplessly, "Director, Captain Fu's wife is not a child anymore. She is not unfamiliar with the road. She must be busy with something. Why are you so anxious?"
Why does she feel that Director Huang is a little too concerned about Captain Fu’s wife?
Huang Lili said anxiously, "She is directionally challenged and really doesn't know the way. What if she can't find her way back?"
Dahong's wife was speechless. "The town is not big. Even a child of 14 years old can recognize which road it is. Captain Fu's wife is an adult. How could she not recognize the road?"
Even if she is directionally challenged and doesn't know the way, she still has a mouth under her nose, right? If she gets lost, won't she ask for directions? "Captain Fu's wife's mouth can make Old Lady Li angry and run away, but she still can't find the way back home?
"Song Zhimei's family sells cold noodles in the whole town. I just asked a passerby and found out. Director, don't worry. We will wait here peacefully. Captain Fu's wife will definitely come back by herself later." After a pause, she continued, "Wait ten minutes. If she hasn't come back in ten minutes, we will all help to look for her."
Huang Lili thought about it and it made sense. The town was not big. Even if Song Li didn't know the way and got lost, she could just ask anyone and find them.
Thinking of this, she was no longer in a hurry. She listened to Dahong's sister-in-law's suggestion and took back her step.
Song Zhi, who was standing in front of the stall and grinning happily, immediately stopped smiling when he heard the word "Captain Fu".
In ancient times, there was a saying that if you love a house, you will love all of its people. In Song Zhi's eyes, it means that if you hate a house, you will hate all of its people. When she heard the surname "Fu", she could think of Fu Yanci.
However, is the "Fu" battalion commander mentioned by Dahongsao Fu Yanci?
She remembered that there were two people with the last name "Fu" in the army. Although they were not the same "Fu", they were pronounced the same.
She was not sure whether the person Dahongsao was talking about was Fu Yanci, and she felt that it could not be Fu Yanci, but Fu Yanci was indeed a battalion commander at present.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Zhi planned to inquire about Fu Yanci's news.
She smiled and said, "It turns out that the beautiful heroine is also a military wife like all of you sisters-in-law. I thought she was a lesbian from the military."
Dahongsao echoed, "Don't blame you, big sister. It was me. When I first met Captain Fu's wife, I mistook her for a new female comrade in the regiment." She said with a "tsk" sound, and said in disbelief, "I never thought that Captain Fu, a man as cold as ice, would marry such a delicate beauty."
As she spoke, she didn't know what funny thing she was thinking about. She chuckled at the other military wives and asked mysteriously, "Do you think Captain Fu is as cold in front of his wife as he is in the past?"
A military wife shook her head and said, "I don't think so. Captain Fu's wife has a heart problem. What if Captain Fu gives her a cold face and scares her out of her heart disease?"
Another military supporter nodded, "I also don't think Captain Fu would." As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Xiuxiu beside her and said sarcastically, "Xiuxiu has more say in this. Wasn't her husband Li as cold as Captain Fu before he got married? After he got married, he was like a different person. Not only is his face no longer cold, sometimes he can even see a smile on Deputy Captain Li's face." As she spoke, she shook Wang Xiuxiu with her arm.
"Xiu Xiu, tell us, has Deputy Battalion Commander Li become gentler after getting married?"
Wang Xiuxiu's pretty little face was red at this moment.
Before Li Jianguo married her, he really had an icy face that kept strangers away, similar to Captain Fu now.
After marrying her, she was not sure whether Li Jianguo was cold to others, but he was indeed very gentle to her.
Wang Xiuxiu blushed and nodded uncomfortably, "Men are indeed two different people before and after marriage."
When the other military wives saw Wang Xiuxiu blushing, they couldn't help laughing.
Originally they were talking about Song Li's disappearance, but then they strayed into other matters.
This is probably the magical power of married women.
Song Zhi saw that the topic was straying further and further away, and she was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. She hadn't confirmed whether the "fu" battalion commander they were talking about was Fu Yanci.
She felt uneasy until she understood.
