Yu Sui, who was following behind Sister Yan Zi, thought: Is eleven o'clock on time?
On the notice that Sister Yan Zi showed Yu Sui at that time, it clearly said twelve o'clock?
If this isn't a typo, then someone must have done it on purpose, right?
But Sister Yan Zi herself didn't explain or question it. She just smiled and turned to greet Guan Changqing, "Sister, you're getting more and more beautiful. Look at this scarf! Oh my god, which big city sent it from? Why is it so beautiful?"
Guan Changqing was very pleased with such exaggerated praise.
She waved the scarf proudly: "I didn't expect you to know that this scarf of mine came from a big city, haven't you? You're right, it was sent to me by my aunt in the capital! My aunt got a promotion, and she has everything you need at home. There's no need to buy a scarf like this!"
Sister Yan continued to praise with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, your face looks more prominent when you wear it."
Yu Sui behind him wanted to laugh.
Guan Changqing's face is generally a bit pointed, like a fox, and his two front teeth are a bit protruding. From the front, he looks a bit charming and beautiful, but from the side, he looks like his teeth are bulging outwards!
Sister Yan Zi’s compliment really hit the nail on the head. You could say she was complimenting, “outstanding” is definitely a compliment, but you could also hear it as “protruding”, then... hehehe, only those who are protruding know!
Guan Changqing still has self-awareness.
When she heard this adjective, her face suddenly turned ugly.
But you can't use your own shortcomings to blame Sister Yan Zi, wouldn't that deepen the description?
Guan Changqing could only hold his breath.
Yu Sui looked back at the other military wives, and they all lowered their heads and held back their laughter tacitly.
Yu Sui really admires Sister Yan Zi. She looks like a cheerful person, but when she gets up to mischief, she becomes very mean and mean. Hahaha!
Just these two small words dealt a heavy blow to Guan Changqing's arrogance. For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became a little subtle.
Sister Yan Zi, however, showed no signs of being a stranger. She reached out and pulled Yu Sui over, introducing her to the woman sitting at the head of the table:
"Sister Yuan, this is the family member of Captain Xia from the Border Defense Company under our Third Battalion. She's from Jiangnan and has inherited the pastry-making skills from her ancestors. My supply and marketing cooperative is in need of pastries from there, but if we were to purchase them specifically, the transportation would be troublesome, so I specially invited her to come here as a technician to teach us how to make pastries. She'll be here for a few months."
Sister Yuan looked at Yu Sui with interest. "Oh, Miss Jiangnan... Hey, whose family member are you talking about? Captain Xia, is it Xia Linsheng?"
Sister Yan Zi: "Yes, it's Xia Linsheng."
Finally, Sister Yuan said, "I know. It's the one who was reported for forcing a young girl to marry."
Yu Sui: “…” People with bad mouths will have retribution. I want to know where your retribution is?
Everyone around looked at Yu Sui.
Sister Yan Zi clenched her hands around Yu Sui's arm.
Yu Sui smiled and said loudly, "Yes, it's the bastard who was reported for forcing a young girl to marry. Fortunately, the person who reported it has been locked up in a mental hospital. Anyone who says that our Xia Linsheng forced her is a psychopath! We don't bother with psychopaths!"
With the emphasis on the words "mental illness" in the title, everyone can hear that this is a veiled attack.
The whole audience was tactfully quiet for a moment.
Sister Yuan felt a little embarrassed and could only cough dryly to clear up her gaffe. "Ahem, yes, that's right. Only a psychopath would say that. Uh, what's your name?"
Sister Yan Zi was kindhearted. She gently pinched Yu Sui and started to smooth things over: "Yu Sui, her name is Yu Sui. Yu Sui, this is our regimental commander's sister-in-law. Her surname is Yuan. She has stayed in our family compound the longest. She is the backbone of us military families. Call her Big Sister!"
Yu Sui knew that Sister Yan Zi was reminding her to put the overall situation first and not to destroy the relationship at will.
You still have to give face to Sister Yan Zi.
Yu Sui nodded slightly: "Hello, Sister Yuan."
"Okay, okay, hello Yu Sui, then please sit down, everyone, have some sunflower seeds, drink some tea, ah, drink tea!" Sister Yuan said a few words casually, then turned around and called Guan Changqing: "Changqing, everyone is here, why don't we get started? How do we organize this social gathering? You're the one who will lead it, so you go!"
Guan Changqing took a while to adjust herself to the word "protruding", but her mood had not yet adjusted. She glanced at Sister Yan Zi angrily and was about to say something when the cotton curtain at the cafeteria door was lifted and a person in a red scarf rushed in.
Sister Yuan immediately stood up and waved, "Lily, come sit here! Where have you been in such a cold weather?"
When Yu Sui heard the name Lily, she couldn't help but look at the person who came.
The girl with the red scarf just happened to pull down her scarf and saw Yu Sui.
She was stunned for a moment, then came over to greet Yu Sui first: "Aren't you that Yu, Yu...Yu what's your name?"
Sister Yan Zi: "Her name is Yu Sui."
Ding Lili rolled her eyes and smiled at Yu Sui with a somewhat obscure smile: "Yeah, what a coincidence. The last time I met you, you said you were a military wife. Which battalion commander's wife are you?"
Yu Sui understood the meaning of this smile - I hope you don’t remember what I said to you before.
Yu Sui also smiled: "Oh, I don't remember where I have seen such a beautiful girl like you. I am not the sister-in-law of the battalion commander."
Ding Lili was obviously satisfied with this answer, and her smile widened. "If it's not the battalion commander's sister-in-law, then it must be the sister-in-law of one of the political instructors, or is she here to visit relatives?"
Those who can live in the family compound with the army must be at the battalion commander level or above, or have served for a long time and their families come to visit, so Ding Lili asked this question.
Guan Changqing spoke up: "She's not from any battalion commander's family, nor from the instructor's family. She's from the company commander's family, Xia Linsheng's relative. Someone used their power to bring her here."
Yu Sui saw that Ding Lili's smile quickly faded from her mouth, and the surprise in her eyes was so great that Yu Sui's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
Yu Sui: “…” No way, the person she said she liked that day was Xia Linsheng?
Ding Lili did not answer Guan Changqing's words. She lowered her head and sat down quietly in the empty seat next to Sister Yuan.
Sister Yuan urged Guan Changqing again: "How about we start? You said you prepared a program, so why don't we enjoy it?"
Guan Changqing excitedly shook her scarf:
"Oh, I told you all before, everyone has to perform today. It's the end of the year. Our regiment's New Year's party can't always have the same programs. Our families should also give a few performances to show our condolences to our fellow soldiers. Everyone, listen up, everyone has to perform today. You must perform. Anyone who doesn't will be punished. In the end, the best and most outstanding performers will perform for the soldiers at the regiment's New Year's party. Let's draw lots to arrange the order. Sister Yuan goes first."
