Chapter 40
There was no gossip about Xu Di's incident, and everyone's focus was not on that.
Yang Zhaodi was driven back to her parents' home by her husband and was about to get divorced. This was explosive news in the family compound.
As for Xu Di, the most popular rumor is that the Xu family is protecting their child, and Xu Li is very weak, but they really dare to take action at the critical moment!
Xu Di doesn't care about these, she is in a good mood now. This is the first time in my two lifetimes that I have someone supporting me. It feels so good!
After get off work that day, Xu Di was the first one to rush out of the office gate, carrying the White Rabbit milk candy, peach cakes, fried dough twists, biscuits and other delicious food he bought at the grocery counter at noon.
This is what Xu Di promised to Xu Jun and Xu Ping'an, and he cannot go back on his word.
In order to take the big rooster out of the space, Xu Di deliberately went around to the back of the department store, where there was an alley that was a blind spot.
He took a tied rooster from the space and picked more than ten apples and pears, as well as a few large tomatoes.
After packing the things in a cloth bag prepared in advance, Xu Di hurried to catch the bus.
After getting off the bus, Xu Di subconsciously looked around. What happened yesterday still scared her and left some trauma.
After entering the family compound, Xu Di automatically heard about Yang Zhaodi.
"Have you heard that Yang Zhaodi was divorced?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? That's a divorce, a divorce. Don't talk nonsense, or you'll be accused of promoting feudal superstition."
"Really divorced?"
"How could it be so fast? The Women's Federation came to mediate, but her husband was determined to divorce. For so many years, she has been thinking about her parents' family, and her own children have to rank behind her parents' family. I don't know what she is thinking."
…
Xu Di listened to such discussions all the way and felt neither happy nor sad. It was just a personal choice.
"Second sister, you're back?"
"aunt."
As soon as Xu Di entered the room, Xu Jun and Xu Ping'an were waiting for him at the door.
"Oh, it's rare, Xu Jun, you're actually at home, not out playing?"
"Second sister, I wanted to pick you up at the station, but my sister-in-law has to cook, and I have to look after Ping An."
Xu Jun glanced at the bag in his second sister's hand, and wondered what she bought.
"Auntie, sugar."
Xu Ping'an still remembered what his aunt said and bought him candy.
"You have a pretty good memory, little brat. Here, Xu Jun, you two go and eat. Be careful not to get choked by the candy."
"Wow, second sister, you are the best. Ping An, let's go and have a good time with uncle."
Xu Jun took the cloth bag and took a look at it, and shouted excitedly, which made Xu Ping'an anxious. He kept calling him "Uncle, Uncle".
"Xu Di, what did you buy for them?"
Mrs. Xu heard her brother-in-law shouting in the kitchen, wiped her hands, and hurried out.
"Sister-in-law, I promised Xu Jun and Ping An yesterday, and I can't go back on my word.
Sister-in-law, I met someone selling roosters, and they were very big. ”
Xu Di handed another cloth bag to her sister-in-law. In addition to a tied-up big rooster, there were more than ten apples and pears, and several big tomatoes.
"Oh my, why is this chicken so heavy?"
"Sister-in-law, there are a few apples, pears and persimmons in there."
Xu Di's voice came from the bathroom, and Mrs. Xu quickly opened the bag.
"Xu Di, this rooster must weigh 15 to 20 pounds. Why did you buy so many apples, pears, and tomatoes? If mom knew, she would definitely criticize you for wasting money."
Mrs. Xu felt in her heart that Xu Di's hand was really loose. Since she started working, she often buys things for the family. If you calculate it, she spends a lot every month.
"It's okay, didn't we run into each other?"
Xu Di knew that her mother wanted her to save the money as a dowry in the future.
It's rare to meet such a good family, and Xu Di couldn't help but want to be nice to them.
This is how relationships between people work. If you are good to me, I want to be good to you too.
Love is mutual.
Mrs. Xu thought that when Xu Di got married, she would buy him a better wedding gift.
"Sister-in-law, we can't eat rooster tonight, right?"
"It's too late. Let's eat tomorrow. It's just right that my mom will have an early shift tomorrow and will get off work early."
"That's fine. I want to eat the braised chicken and potatoes that our mom made."
Mother Xu is a good cook and everyone likes the dishes she cooks.
"When you say that, I get hungry too."
"hehe……"
Xu Di was amused by her sister-in-law. She changed her clothes and put the dishes on the table, as it would be time to eat.
In the evening, Xu's mother came back and confiscated the delicious food from Xu Jun and Xu Ping'an.
"Mom, that was bought by my second sister for me and Ping An, why did you put it away?"
"You little brat, you're getting naughty, aren't you? Ping An is young and ignorant, and you are not sensible either, right?
Your second sister bought so much food, including toffee, peach cakes, and biscuits, and you two had no self-control and almost got drunk.
If you have a stomachache on Ping An night, I'll beat you. ”
Xu Jun thought about what he and Ping'an had eaten and didn't dare to say anything.
"Xu Di, you can't spend money lavishly in the future, do you hear me?"
"I heard it, Mom. I know I was wrong."
Xu Di didn't expect that the war would spread to him so soon. He glared at Xu Jun and said, "It's over. There will be no delicious food next time."
Xu Jun also regretted why he didn't pay more attention to safety. Alas, his delicious food flew away!
The Xu family lived a smooth life. Apart from worrying about Xu Mei who was far away in Yun Province, they really had no troubles.
Zhang Chaoyang, who was at an island base far south of the motherland, returned after completing his mission again.
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, there is a letter for you.
Zhang Chaoyang took the two letters from the signalman, took a look, and saw that they were from the same address and were both sent by Comrade Xu.
I glanced at the time and saw that it had been more than a month. I must have replied to his letter after receiving it.
Last time he got Comrade Xu's address from his grandmother, wrote a letter and sent it out.
More than half a month later, he set off after receiving the mission, and this time he was away for more than a month.
Holding the two letters, Zhang Chaoyang returned to his dormitory.
The weather here is hot and there are many mosquitoes. The entire camp is full of men, with no opposite sex.
In order to get rid of the conflicts at home, he hid it from his family, signed up for army, and came here to guard the border.
He didn't regret it, but he felt a little sorry for his grandmother.
Is she lonely? Do her parents, brother and sister-in-law, younger brother and younger sister often visit her?
However, given grandma's temper, she wouldn't look at them in a good light even if they went.
Because of his grandparents' affairs, the family relationships are a bit complicated. He doesn't want to get involved and doesn't want to rely on his grandfather's connections.
He came to the border to serve as a soldier and refused to be called back. His mother was very angry, but there was nothing she could do.
People think differently. He doesn’t understand his parents, and his parents don’t understand him.
Zhang Chaoyang shook his head and cleared the messy thoughts from his mind.
Looking at the two letters on the table, the handwriting is delicate and unobtrusive.
From what his grandmother said, he couldn't imagine how an eighteen-year-old girl could be willing to communicate with him.
Although, those of them who serve in the military are quite popular now. However, he was a border guard and the conditions were harsh, so he could not join the army.
If I marry him, it means we will be separated for a long time. When he has a child, he will have to raise the child alone, and he will not be able to go home very often throughout the year.
Because of these reasons, Zhang Chaoyang really has no hope of getting married.
However, looking at the two letters on the table, he hesitated.
I don’t know what Comrade Xu was thinking. Since he sent me two letters, he must have some ideas.
This is the first time in Zhang Chaoyang’s 23 years of life that he feels so hesitant.
