After eating the melon, Yang Wenjing came home as instructed to help Song Li clean the stove.
Yang Wen talks a lot, and never stops for a moment.
In just the time it took to fix the stove, Song Li had already learned from her the situation of the entire family compound.
In the family compound, which wife is the most stingy, which wife is the most conceited, which wife is the most stingy, and which wife is the most aggressive and can make her man obedient, Yang Wenjing is like a know-it-all, she knows everything.
Song Li really wanted to ask, "Sister-in-law, are you setting up surveillance in someone else's home?"
But it must be said that through Yang Wenjing's popular science, Song Li knew which company to deal with and which one to stay away from in the future.
By the time Yang Wenjing had finished gossiping about the family affairs, the stove had been pasted.
Song Li quickly brought her a glass of water and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. Have a drink of water." She had been talking non-stop for most of the day, so she must be thirsty.
Yang Wenjing was really thirsty. She was a very generous person and didn't hesitate. She took the water handed to her by Song Li and drank it in a few big gulps.
Song Li reached out to take the cup, "Sister-in-law, I'll go get you another glass of water." It was obvious that she was thirsty, and she finished the large glass of water in just three or five gulps.
Yang Wenjing waved her hands, "Don't bother, I'm done." She pointed to the stove that had been pasted, and reminded Song Li, "The stove has just been pasted, and it needs to be aired out. You can't cook tonight. Wait until noon tomorrow to turn on the fire."
Song Li nodded, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
Yang Wenjing smiled broadly, "It's just a matter of convenience. Why bother asking if it's a bother or not? We all live in the same family compound, and it's only natural for us to help each other. Maybe my sister-in-law will have a way to bother my elder sister in the future."
Song Li smiled and replied, "If you need my help in the future, just let me know."
After meeting her, I found that Yang Wenjing is a nice person. Although she has a big mouth, she doesn't have any bad intentions. She has a carefree and generous personality. It's not tiring to get along with such a person.
Yang Wenjing smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries, then took the shovel and went home. "Okay, it's getting late, I'm going home to cook, and I'll talk to you later."
Song Li saw her out and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. When I have time, I will invite you to have dinner in town." Song Li really couldn't bring herself to invite her to have dinner at home because she had no confidence in her cooking skills.
Yang Wenjing didn't shy away, "Okay, when we have time, let's sit down and have a meal together."
After seeing Yang Wenjing off, Huang Lili also left. She invited Song Li, "Little sister Song, you and sister-in-law should go home. You haven't prepared the cooking utensils yet. You can come to my house for dinner in the next few days."
Song Li was too embarrassed to eat at someone else's house. These two children had already troubled Huang Lili too much. She smiled and refused, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about me, and don't send me food. There is food at home." Fearing that she would not believe it, Song Li went back to the house and took out a bag of snacks and a bottle of canned food, put them in a net bag, and handed them to Huang Lili.
"Sister-in-law, I brought a lot of snacks from home. I won't be hungry. Take these snacks and canned food home for the children."
Huang Lili quickly refused, "Little Sister Song, keep it for yourself, my sister-in-law has some at home."
Song Li knew that Huang Lili was just being polite, so she stuffed the net bag into Huang Lili's hand without hesitation and said, "Sister-in-law, this is a little gift from me. It's not a very expensive thing. Please don't be angry with me." As she said this, Song Li deliberately frowned.
Huang Lili knew that Song Li was pretending to be angry, but she still cooperated with her and said, "Don't be angry. You have a bad heart and can't stand being angry. Just let your sister-in-law take it."
Song Li's small gesture made Huang Lili feel a lot more comfortable.
She helped Song Li out of Fu Yanci's sake. Although she didn't ask for anything in return, the fact that Song Li remembered her kindness showed that Song Li was a good person and someone who knew how to be grateful.
When people interact with each other, isn't it just for the sake of give and take?
Huang Lili stayed for a moment before leaving and said, "Don't eat snacks for dinner. Snacks can't be eaten as a meal. I'll ask the children to bring it to you later." After saying that, without giving Song Li a chance to refuse, she picked up the net bag and left quickly.
Song Li: “…”
As soon as Huang Lili and Yang Wenjing left, the house became deserted.
Thinking that Sister Wang had helped her a lot, Song Li went back to the house to get a bag of snacks and planned to go to Sister Wang's house.
Mrs. Wang’s house is not far from Song Li’s house, just a few minutes away.
When Song Li arrived, Mrs. Wang was cooking.
Seeing Song Li, she came forward with wet hands, "Little Sister Song, why are you here? Come in quickly."
Then he turned around and called out to the girl among the two half-grown children playing in the yard, "Xiaohong, go get a glass of water."
The little girl named Xiaohong stared at Song Li for a few seconds, responded crisply, and went into the kitchen with a smile.
The other half-grown boy stopped playing and came over to Song Li, blinking his big eyes and staring at her with curiosity.
Mrs. Wang explained with a smile, "This is Captain Fu's daughter-in-law, hurry up and call someone."
The little boy called out "Auntie" obediently.
The sudden voice of "Auntie" made Song Li shut herself up.
She is only 22 years old and she is already an aunt?
What a sin!
She responded with a smile, and the little girl named Xiaohong came over with a cup of water, handed it to her, and politely greeted her, "Auntie, have some water."
Song Li, who was hit hard for the second time, said: "..."
She suddenly didn't want to stay in this place anymore.
She took the water cup with one hand and handed the snack in the other hand to Wang's wife. "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work. This is the snack I brought from the capital. I'll give it to you and the children to taste."
Sister Wang pushed the snacks that were handed to her and politely declined, "Little Sister Song, I didn't help you with anything. Take the snacks home and eat them yourself."
Song Li was not used to the politeness of pushing and shoving, so she stuffed the snack directly into the arms of the little boy who was staring at the snack eagerly, "Sister-in-law, don't be polite to me, it's not something expensive, just some local specialties, for you and the children to taste, if you refuse again, I won't dare to ask you for help in the future."
Sister Wang smiled helplessly, "Sister-in-law, just take it. Don't bring anything here again in the future."
Song Li smiled and nodded.
After delivering the things, Song Liwan declined Wang Saozi's invitation to stay for dinner at her home, and hurried back, making the excuse that she had something else to do at home.
When I got home, I saw Comrade Wu Xiaoyuan at the door.
Song Li walked over, looked at the thing at his feet, and asked uncertainly, "Comrade Xiao Wu, are you here to give me something?"
Coincidentally, the things he had on his feet were exactly what her family needed.
Wu Xiaoyuan picked up the pot on the stove and explained, "Sister-in-law, this is what Master Lu asked me to bring."
"Teacher Lu?" If she remembered correctly, this teacher Lu seemed to have gone to the hospital to see her last night.
She also heard it from her sisters-in-law on the bus.
I went to the health center to bring her a pot...
Could it be because of Fu Yanci's face?"
Xiao Wu nodded and explained, "Captain Fu is not at home, and my sister-in-law has just arrived. It is the leader's responsibility to settle every soldier's family."
Song Li didn't think much about it, just thinking that this teacher named Lu was a good leader who cared about his subordinates. She opened the gate and went in with the pot without Xiao Wu's help.
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, then followed Song Li into the yard.
He stood at the gate and said to Song Li in the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, someone will deliver firewood for cooking tomorrow. Will you be home tomorrow?"
Song Li thought for a moment and said, "I'm going out tomorrow morning and will be at home in the afternoon."
The pot was available, but the other missing items had to be bought in town.
