Chapter 721
The second watch arrivesββ
"Hey!" Zhou Mikang sighed heavily, as an answer to the question raised by Chu Xia.
"Zhou Mikang......" Chu Xia looked at him seriously, "Is it normal for women to have to defend a man to the end in the eyes of your men?" β
"It's not ......" Zhou Mikang shook his head, "I'm not so narrow-minded, the company commander's wife is too anxious, he just left for two months, and she got married."
Moreover, the company commander's son also changed his surname, and for this matter, the company commander's grandmother was so angry that she fell seriously ill, and the organization also talked to the company commander's wife, but the result did not change.
The company commander's wife said that she couldn't live alone with the child, and if the child didn't change her surname, the man she married couldn't be good to the child, she said that when the child grew up, she would tell the child the truth, and if the child was willing to change his surname back, she wouldn't stop it. β
"The company commander's family can leave the child to raise, right?"
"The company commander's parents died when he was very young, and it was his grandmother who raised him, and at that time his grandmother was over eighty years old, and it was impossible for her to raise the little great-grandson, so he could only let the company commander's wife remarry with the child.
The organization sent someone to secretly investigate the company commander's wife, and found that she was very good to the child after remarrying, and the child's stepfather was also very good to the child, so she went. β
"I see...... Chu Xia nodded suddenly, and then couldn't help sighing, "Speaking of which, the most pitiful thing is the company commander's grandmother, by the way, is she okay now?" β
"It's fine. The old lady is physically tough and now lives in a nursing home. Our comrades-in-arms took turns to visit her, and they all treated her as a grandmother. β
"You've been there, too?"
"Of course."
"Then why don't you take me there?" Hatsu glared at him dissatisfied. "Is it because you still don't believe me and treat me as an outsider, so you don't let me participate in your social circle?"
Zhou Mikang looked at his little wife with a black line: "Can you not think about it so complicated?" I haven't been to see Grandma Wang since I met you, if you want, I'll take you to see it when I come back from the capital. β
"Okay." Chu Xia nodded, and continued to do something for 100,000 things, "Why don't you go to see the company commander's grandmother for so long, is it because you married a daughter-in-law and forgot the old man?" β
"It's not." Zhou Mikang was so angry that she nodded her head, "I'm so tasteless in your eyes?" In the beginning. It's because the Zhou family went through such a big hurdle, and later, they were sent over to garrison, and when they came back, they were busy like spinning tops every day, and they didn't have time to come out.
Don't think I'm an excuse, the main old lady lives far away, it takes about an hour and a half to drive there, and it takes about four hours to come and go.
A couple of comrades-in-arms live over there. I often go over to take care of the old lady, so I don't have anything to worry about, but even if you don't mention it today. I'm also going to visit the old lady in a few days, and of course, I'll take you with me. β
"What did the man the company commander's daughter-in-law marry?" In early summer, I consciously changed the topic. It's just that it's also a topic that the head of the regiment doesn't like to carry out very much.
"It's an ordinary worker. She said that she would never marry a soldier again in her life......" sighed heavily. The regiment commander looked at his little wife, "In early summer, I don't have to be picky, because we all see the company commander's kindness to his daughter-in-law."
We don't ask the company commander's daughter-in-law to be a widow for him, we just think that for the company commander's sake of treating her so well, it is reasonable to wait for the company commander to marry after the anniversary, hey......"
Chu Xia can understand Zhou Mikang's current mood, and although she doesn't know the company commander, when she heard Zhou Mikang say this, she also felt that the company commander's daughter-in-law had done too much.
Of course, maybe the company commander's daughter-in-law thinks that if the company commander is really good to her, he shouldn't trade his own life for someone else's, and being able to make such a choice means that she doesn't put the two of them in the most important position, so why should she put him in the most important position?
Although this explanation is a little untabled, this is the most real reaction of some people when they encounter this kind of thing, and she does not agree with it, but it seems to be the most likely when she thinks of the company commander's daughter-in-law.
From a woman's point of view, especially from the future generations, she can understand, but men in this era can never understand this practice.
However, ......, Chu Xia looked at Zhou Mikang: "She did that, no one scolded her?" β
"Yes." Zhou Mikang sighed, "It's not an ordinary scolding, but she still goes her own way, and later, no one pays attention to it.
In the past, the company commander was so good to her, she always locked the company commander outside, even if the other party went back late because of work, she was not happy, and now the worker she married, after getting off work, played poker with her co-workers and came home late, but she happily made supper for the other party. β
"There's a word called cheapness, don't you know the way?" Chu Xia patted him comfortingly, "Don't think about it if other people's lives can't interfere, or is this the happiness she wants, right?" β
Zhou Mikang smiled at his little wife: "It's still my daughter-in-law who is smart, and we big guys can't figure it out, but my daughter-in-law actually grasped the point with a sharp point." β
"I'm an outsider, I just listen to you like this, without emotion, of course I can sort it out more clearly......" Chu Xia said as he yawned, "I'm sleepy, I won't talk to you anymore." When the words fell, someone's little head tilted, and he actually called out, and he was speechless when he saw the head of the regiment......
β¦β¦
Early in the morning, Liu Zhenqiang came again, and brought a thermos bucket that is extremely rare in this era, followed by an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, who looks very delicate, but unfortunately when looking at people, it always gives people a feeling of being a thief.
"That's Liu Zhenfen." Seeing the two of them coming in, Zhao Qiyan whispered to Chu Xia that in this family, she is most familiar with her sister-in-law's family, so every time she gets out of bed and activities, as long as Chu Xia is at home, she is by each other's side.
"Guessed." Chu Xia nodded, and his eyes turned lightly to Liu Zhenqiang's brother and sister, the two of them had already greeted each other all the way, and it could be seen that Liu Zhenfen was obviously nervous.
But even when she was in a nervous state, her eyes were still so unpleasant.
"Sister-in-law, this is the tonic soup that our mother made for you, drink it while it's hot. When she got closer, Liu Zhenfen was talking to herself, and she opened the lid of the thermos bucket, and the fragrant smell of chicken soup overflowed, she looked at Chu Xia, "Can you give me a bowl to use?" β
"Okay." Chu Xia beckoned to Xiaojing, "Bring a bowl here." β
After a while, Xiaojing took two bowls over, but Liu Zhenfen took one and handed the other back, "One is enough......" After speaking, she directly picked up the bucket and poured soup into the bowl, muttering in her mouth, "Sister-in-law, my mother has been busy for half the night in order to boil this soup, and there are medicinal herbs in it that nourish the body, I want to taste it, but my mother won't let me." β
"I don't want to drink ...... now" Seeing the thick layer of oil flowers on top of the chicken soup, Zhao Qiyan's brows wrinkled unconsciously, she also drinks chicken soup every day in Zhou's house these days, but there is no oil flower on it at all, and I don't know if Lu Dao is used to the chicken soup that does not bleach, or because of her body, she feels disgusting when she sees this chicken soup with oil flowers now.
"Slow talk, I'm going to dinner." Chu Xia quickly got up, "Sister, I'll leave the food for you." β
"Summer ......"
Without waiting for Zhao Qiyan to say more, Liu Zhenqiang stopped her: "Yan'er, this is the chicken soup that my mother boiled, you can drink it, Zhenfen is not reluctant to give your cousin to drink, it is ......" He glanced at his sister helplessly, and continued, "It was my mother who fell asleep when she stayed up, and there was only so much left." β
Hearing this, Zhao Qiyan stretched out her head to look at the thermos bucket, and immediately poured out this bowl for her, the bucket had already bottomed out, no wonder Liu Zhenfen only needed one bowl.
It's just, just a little chicken soup, why are they embarrassed to send it over?
"Liu Zhenqiang, do you think that I live in the Zhou family, eat the Zhou family, and drink the Zhou family, it is right?" Zhao Qiyan stared at Liu Zhenqiang and asked.
"Of course not......" Liu Zhenqiang smiled wryly, "I haven't lost my job, the family's money has to be calculated, Yan'er, come home with me, okay?" β
"Impossible." Zhao Qiyan shook his head, "What you did today disappointed me, I originally lived here because of my cousin's light, and I owe a lot of favors to others, but what about you, just bring me a bowl of chicken soup, even if I explain it to others later, they will believe it, but it doesn't mean that you did it beautifully."
If the pot is really dry, can't you make something else and bring it over? Regardless of whether the Zhou family has it or not, the mind must always be put out, right? The way you are now, you are simply telling the Zhou family that the kindness of others is taken for granted by you! β
Liu Zhenfen preemptively said: "Sister-in-law, my brother really has no money in his hands, my mother calculated it, and said that this way I can save money to spend my brother's salary, if I put it wide this time, I won't be able to live the next few days."
My sister-in-law doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and if I really don't have any money, I will come and borrow it, and my face will not be bright, right? That's not as good as we are, isn't it? β
That's a lot of rhetoric! Zhao Qiyan stared at Liu Zhenfen speechlessly, she really didn't know what to say about her, it just so happened that her mother and her father came to eat with her sister-in-law and uncle, and when they saw Liu Zhenqiang standing beside her, her mother greeted her: "Zhenqiang is here?" β
"Mother, I'm here." Liu Zhenqiang smiled flatteringly, "My mother got up in the middle of the night to make chicken soup for Yan'er, but she fell asleep, the soup was a little less, Yan'er was not very happy, mother, you persuade her, my mother really didn't mean it......"
This is really a rake, Zhao Qiyan looked at Liu Zhenqiang angrily, and really wanted to splash a bowl of soup on him...... (To be continued......)
