Can he say that he is that kind of superficial person? If Xu Niannian was ugly, he would definitely refuse to obey her even at the beginning.
There are benefits to being superficial.
Otherwise, how could the three kids look so good?
Xu Niannian patted Lu Ze on the shoulder:
"Do you think my aunt is pretty?"
"It looks good. It looks really good."
"That's fine, superficial or not, just treat it as a compliment."
Lu Ze smiled:
"My classmates in the nursery all envy me for having such an aunt. I can eat tomatoes at home as much as I want! She is also beautiful and can write books."
Xu Niannian felt very comfortable being praised:
"Tomorrow, I will give each of my classmates who praised me a tomato and let them eat it!"
Lu Ze nodded. As expected, his aunt liked to praise him. No girl in the world could escape being praised.
He looked at his uncle and sighed again, but his uncle was the kind of person who wasn't good at praising others.
It’s a real loss for my aunt to marry my uncle!
Sanbao looked at a few people chatting and no one paid attention to him, so he looked for his father to hug him with tears in his eyes.
Lu Huaijin had no choice but to hoarse his voice to coax his daughter.
If someone had told Xu Niannian before she gave birth that Lu Huaijin would one day become like this, she would never have believed it, but now it is actually happening in her life.
Things were progressing smoothly up to this point. The military wives in the family compound also began to believe in her abilities and started to admire this woman.
Some of those who were not selected before started to envy the treatment of others.
Who wouldn’t be envious? The mental outlook of the people working there has obviously changed, and they look more energetic.
If you ask how things changed, isn’t it because they made money?
Who wouldn't be tempted? It's boring to stay at home in this winter, just chatting with neighbors. It's better to make some money and improve your life.
So a deputy regiment's wife, Chen Xiaoxiao, came directly to the door:
"Xiao Xu, are you still hiring?"
When Xu Niannian heard this name, she couldn't help but look at her a little more:
"Who are you?"
If you ask about recruitment, you should call me director according to seniority. I don't know if he is serious about calling me Xiao Xu, or he doesn't take me seriously, or he wants to use my age to make an excuse.
If you come here to chat about family matters, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call me Xiao Xu considering my age.
"My name is Chen Xiaoxiao, and my husband is Jiang Fanglai, a deputy regiment commander. He is not from the same regiment as you, so our two families are a little far apart."
"Oh, so why are you here today?"
"Hey, isn't it true that the greenhouse vegetables in our army have been growing very well recently? I thought I'd come and help since I have nothing to do at home."
That's a good thing to say. Is it free to help me?
The visitor is a guest, Xu Niannian poured him a cup of tea:
"We have enough manpower in the greenhouse vegetables for now, and we would feel bad if you came to help for free."
Chen Xiaoxiao frowned. She just politely asked for help, so how could it be that her help was for nothing?
With that much free time, wouldn't she take a rest?
But the man spoke sincerely and poured himself a cup of tea, but he still couldn't figure out what Nian Nian was thinking.
Is it just a misunderstanding? Let's just say it directly:
"Xiao Xu, what I mean is, is our army still hiring? I'm just sitting around doing nothing at home anyway, so I might as well come here and make some money."
Xu Niannian laughed when he heard this:
"Other people have mentioned this to me before. We will definitely recruit soldiers together when the time comes. We have enough manpower now. Why don't you wait until next year to see?"
Chen Xiaoxiao frowned even more tightly:
"Let me tell you the truth. I didn't show up for the first recruitment. If I had, I don't believe you wouldn't have hired me. I used to be a good farmer in the village. Otherwise, you can fire someone and I'll take your place."
After traveling through time, Xu Niannian had witnessed the diversity of species, but no one had ever been so blatantly bad.
Just let others fire you directly.
How can I say it out loud?
"We have signed contracts with our employees and will not fire any employee at will. There is really no other way."
Chen Xiaoxiao felt that she was the deputy regiment's wife after all, and people would give her some face when she was outside, not to mention when she went home.
It was the first time she was rejected so decisively, and she felt quite embarrassed.
She took a deep breath and felt that Xu Niannian was still young.
If you don't understand the ways of the world, she will teach you:
"I remember the battalion commander's wife was there. I'm just a deputy regiment's wife, so I can't be inferior to the battalion commander's wife."
Xu Niannian was completely speechless:
"But this...I didn't recruit their men, I recruited them themselves."
Chen Xiaoxiao lifted her hair:
"So, you think they can compare to me? You are still young and don't know how to handle things outside. You have to be very good at dealing with people."
Xu Niannian's face turned ugly. She didn't drive the person away because she was considering the social etiquette.
Chen Xiaoxiao actually educated me.
"I think I'm just too worldly-wise. Otherwise, I would have just kicked someone like you out and never kept you for tea."
Once he started talking, he couldn't stop:
"You know, you're not as good as the people I hire. I want people who work every day, not some old princess who drinks tea in the office."
"Who are you talking about, old princess? How can you talk like that?"
"I'm talking to you. You come to teach me how to do things. If it comes to social etiquette, my man is of a higher rank than yours. Is it appropriate for you to call me Xiao Xu? And if you want to work under me, you have to call me Director Xu."
This is not a show of power, but she feels that no matter what the personal relationship between two people is, when it comes to serious matters, they should behave like serious people.
Otherwise everyone would be lazy.
"Also, when I come out to work, I will never rely on social skills, but on my strength. When you have the strength like me, come and teach me."
"Whether their husbands are battalion commanders or company commanders, they are all the same to me. Do you think people are divided into high and low?"
After saying that, he stood up.
Chen Xiaoxiao was so shocked by her remarks that she was speechless. Her brain seemed to be short-circuited. Was she just being lectured?
It feels like something is blocking my throat.
How dare she talk to herself like that?
Xu Niannian stood up and saw Aunt Zhou standing at the door.
Aunt Zhou was holding an old hen in her hand:
"Isn't it the wrong time for me to come? This is from my nephew. I also gave you one to replenish your body."
Xu Niannian restrained his expression:
"No, she's leaving. Come and sit down, auntie."
When Chen Xiaoxiao saw Aunt Zhou, the color on her face seemed to have an overturned palette, first changing from red to white, and then to blue.
She subconsciously wanted to complain, but when she saw the chicken in Aunt Zhou's hand, she hesitated.
Chickens are not to be eaten casually. The big, fat one in her hand, given away without permission, proves that the relationship between the two of them is special.
