Tan Fuya explained, "It's just doing needlework; I like making clothes."
Da Mei slapped her thigh and said, "What a coincidence! My daughter-in-law also likes to make clothes. After Sister Yu Min went to Nantong to help, she made all of Fan Fan's clothes."
Look how smart Fanfan looks in his little military uniform! Xiaoxiao even altered his little hat for him. He's definitely a child from the military region.
Tan Fuya agreed, saying that Fanfan was very cute and her clothes were indeed very nice, but she felt that girls looked better in red, especially since Fanfan had a very festive appearance.
Lin Damei said warmly, "You'll be staying here for a while, so I'll show you around the compound. It'll be easier for you to go out on your own later. Old Zhu is quite busy with work, so he won't have time to show you around for a while."
According to Lao Ming, Lao Zhu will be busy for a whole year! Only a short time has passed, it's still early!
Tan Fuya was naturally happy: "Old Fu and I have both heard that the military region is very mysterious, and we have always wanted to see it for ourselves. Thank you, Da Mei."
Lin Damei reminded everyone, "You should wear thicker clothes. Right now, everyone is sunbathing, so this is a good opportunity to introduce them to you."
After Lai Lanhua was sent away, Ji Jicheng was also arranged by Old Ji to work in a factory outside. The Ji family finally calmed down, and Xiaolou returned to peace. Everyone has their own troubles, so who has time to care about other people's affairs?
Lin Damei took Tan Fuya and his wife out, visiting every shop, nursery, and supply and marketing cooperative. She also introduced them to several of her old friends, but didn't mention their husbands' jobs.
After going around in circles, Lin Damei received feedback from her sisters: They saw the person, just like you said, and they left.
So she took the couple back home. Lin Damei said, "You're new here and not familiar with the house. The layout might be a little different from what you have in the south. Let me explain."
Actually, she wasn't familiar with the layout of the Zhu family's house, and didn't know how to introduce it. But she was familiar with the kitchen, so she focused on introducing the kitchen, making it easy to see where everything was.
Tan Fuya was very grateful. Whether it was introducing the compound or making friends, Da Mei was very sincere. All she saw in the compound was genuine kindness.
Tan Fuya was a little embarrassed: "I cooked some dishes last night, mostly cooked food that I brought from home. I only cooked two myself, and I just used the kitchen utensils haphazardly. Please excuse my poor cooking."
Lin Damei waved her hand dismissively: "How can someone who's just arrived know everything? Old Zhu is unreliable, but that kid Lin Wu has connections. Old Zhu's family hasn't run out of fine food. It's almost noon, so I'll make lunch for you. Let me tell you, I'm a really good cook."
Tan Fuya was pleasantly surprised: "Really? I also like cooking, let's cook together."
Lin Damei agreed, and the two of them competed to do their best. However, after seeing each other's process and skills, they were both speechless.
Lin Damei: ...How can you compare? Sister Fuya cut the potatoes to the same length and thickness, and the knife was so fast it left afterimages. She even put the chopped vegetables on separate plates. Her skill and precision are obviously inferior.
Tan Fuya: ...Da Mei's dishes are so unique, I've never seen them before. The colors are so pleasing to the eye, and they smell so good. I must learn how to make them.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "What are you all standing there for?"
If someone has prepared a meal and you just stare at it blankly, of course you should eat it!
Lin Damei was the first to come to her senses: "It's almost time, I should go back and cook."
Zhu Fanfan tried to persuade her to stay: "Grandma Da Mei, it's too much trouble for you to cook all by yourself at home. Why don't you eat at my house?"
With so much food, there would be leftovers after several meals; she didn't want to eat it all and have to eat it for the next meal.
Tan Fuya then realized that they had made too much food; even two adults and a child couldn't finish it all. She immediately urged them to stay, saying, "Da Mei, this is the result of our joint efforts. You must stay."
Lin Damei wanted to refuse, but she was forced to stay. After lunch, Tan Fuya and Lin Damei cleaned up the dishes.
Da Mei said, "There's nothing to worry about after lunch. Fanfan is used to taking a nap, so you can all rest together. It's very safe here, and it's fine to leave the door open."
Tan Fuya thanked her, and Lin Damei then left.
Tan Fuya exclaimed, "The people in the compound get along so well."
There was no fawning over the powerful and belittling the weak, no sarcastic remarks, and no need to overthink a single word. Everyone got along like a family.
Fu Minghao laughed and said, "Otherwise, why would it be called a military region? Fu Ya, don't have too much contact with the wives of the military region women in the future, and if you do have contact, don't ask about military matters."
The people who can live in the compound are all military families. In particular, this small building was not simply built according to a template. Many parts are related to feng shui. The people who live here are probably in important positions. Their identities are somewhat sensitive now, so it is not advisable to cause trouble.
Tan Fuya was puzzled: "We'll just talk about things related to women; I'm not interested in things related to the military."
Fu Minghao still reminded him, "We're just here to see if Fanfan is doing well."
Tan Fuya was a little confused. Weren't they here to see Fanfan? And Yumin too? She just didn't expect Yumin to go and help.
Fu Minghao said, "We've been on the train for several days, how could we possibly have gotten enough rest last night? Let's go and rest for a while!"
He came here also for the public-private partnership, but he didn't know the specifics. However, the actions of the higher authorities had been somewhat unusual lately, and there were gradually many restrictions on entrepreneurs. He was afraid that something might change, and he was afraid that he couldn't explain it clearly over the phone, so he came here specifically to find out the information.
Otherwise, did he really run away to escape the troubles caused by his daughters? You underestimate him.
He was relieved to see that his granddaughter was doing well here. It was much better for the child to stay with the Zhu family than with the Fu family. If it weren't for Brother Zhu spoiling Fanfan, Fanfan wouldn't dare to bare her teeth at him.
After hearing what Fu Minghao said, Tan Fuya was indeed a little sleepy, so she yawned and went to rest.
Zhu Fanfan entered the space and began a new round of harvesting. However, while she was still harvesting, she heard a noisy noise next to her. Zhu Fanfan came out of the space and listened carefully. It was Grandma Da Mei's house.
Suddenly she realized something was wrong. It was normal for her to hear things outside, but she was in the space just now, so how could she have heard everything clearly?
After leaving the space and going downstairs, I saw my grandparents leaning against the door, their ears almost perked up, listening intently. Could it be that watching the excitement is ingrained in their bones?
Zhu Fanfan, with her sharp mind, heard the voices next door. It was Ye Shuhua speaking, or more precisely, criticizing Grandma Da Mei for being heartless, saying that she didn't care about children who weren't her own, and that she should help Ming Yunshan if she had connections.
