Chapter VII

Jin Xiuzhu, who had just entered the door, paused for her steps, she looked up at the voice, and directly faced a middle-aged woman with short hair with short ears, with a round face and thin eyebrows, and a lot of fine lines at the corners of her eyes when she smiled.

She didn't look at Jin Xiuzhu, but turned her head and asked the woman next to her, "I should be right?" Last time, Qian Yufeng wore this dress, saying that her mother-in-law made it herself, and she showed it off for a long time. ”

The living room of the house is not big, there is a square table in the middle, several men gather around to drink tea, and the women sit and chat at the door, holding melon seeds in their hands, and the melon seed shells are thrown directly on the ground, and there is nowhere to put their feet in a mess.

The woman who was questioned had a thin face, smiled awkwardly when she heard this, and saw that everyone around her was looking at her, so she quickly said, "I don't know." ”

I hate it to death in my heart, and I don't want to do this kind of thing that offends people.

Liu Hongyue didn't seem to hear it, so she pretended to be surprised, "How could it be, you were there that day." ”

The expression is very exaggerated.

Jin Xiuzhu was about to speak, Jiang Mingchuan, who was originally walking behind her, suddenly stepped forward and protected her whole person behind her, Liu Hongyue still had something to say, seeing this scene, she felt a little unconfident, she also listened to some gossip before she dared to do this.

The woman who was sitting at a distance from Liu Hongyue greeted Jiang Mingchuan, "Camp Chief Jiang is also here, this is a girl, come in, it's cold outside." ”

Several men sitting at the table heard the movement and got up one after another, "Why did you come?" ”

"My brother and sister are here too? Come in and have some hot water. ”

"Two kids, huh? Not bad. ”

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became lively.

Jiang Mingchuan took the initiative to reach out and wrap his arms around Jin Xiuzhu's waist and greeted these people, "There was some delay on the way. ”

Then he introduced Jin Xiuzhu to Fu Yanyan, "Jin Xiuzhu, this is my daughter Yanyan." ”

Then he introduced the person, "This is Battalion Commander Wu, this is Battalion Commander Yang......"

Jin Xiuzhu and Fu Yanyan took turns calling people.

Wang Ling, who was busy in the kitchen, ran out to see, Wang Ling rubbed her apron with her hand and said enthusiastically: "It's finally here, wait a minute, there are still two dishes that will be ready soon, what's going on with Lao Yan?" I just went out and still haven't come back? ”

Jiang Mingchuan introduced Jin Xiuzhu again.

"This is the head of the regiment's lover, you just call your sister-in-law. This is Kim so-joo, my daughter-in-law. ”

When Wang Ling heard the words of her daughter-in-law, she took the initiative to stretch out her hand for a moment, but she still said enthusiastically: "Hello, hello, I met for the first time, and the hospitality was not good." ”

Jin Xiuzhu noticed, her face did not show any difference, she changed the basket on her right wrist to her left hand, stretched out her hand to hold it, and smiled on her face, "Hello." ”

Wang Ling saw the basket in her hand, and the smile on her face was a little more.

With so many people coming to the door today, Jin Xiuzhu was the first to come with something, even if she complained a little about these two people in her heart, she was in a better mood at this time.

"Come in and sit and rest for a while, and when Lao Yan comes back, you can start the meal, I'll go back to the kitchen, you guys talk first, and treat it as your own home."

With that, he hurried back to the kitchen.

Jiang Mingchuan continued to introduce Jin Xiuzhu, he introduced everyone, only the round-faced woman who spoke at the beginning did not introduce, and finally he greeted Fang Min, the lover of the political commissar Zhu, "She came here for the first time, and she is not very familiar with it, so she is troublesome sister-in-law." ”

The woman was the one who opened her mouth to let them in at the beginning, she was very young, but she was very comfortable with people, and she smiled gently, "Don't worry, I won't wronged her." ”

Jiang Mingchuan walked towards the men, and before leaving, he also took a bench for Jin Xiuzhu and asked her to sit next to Fang Min.

Jin Xiuzhu is still being cared for so much for the first time, and she doesn't need to deal with it herself, remembering the days in the Hou Mansion before, every time she was bullied, she could only knock out her teeth and swallow blood, and then she gained power, and she also learned to bully others, and threw the concubines who had bullied her to the temple and threw them to the temple, so that they didn't have any chance to fight back.

Opposite her was the round-faced woman who was laughing at her just now, and the other party's face was a little ugly now, probably because she hated Jiang Mingchuan's deliberate neglect.

This kind of experience of being supported and protected by others made Jin Xiuzhu feel very good, but she was not a good person, so she looked at the other party with a cramped look and explained: "The man in front of me is also a soldier, but he died in the first half of last year, I gave birth to a daughter, and I was not treated well in my mother-in-law's house, if it wasn't for Camp Commander Jiang who came to visit us, we wouldn't know where the way out would be in the future......"

As he spoke, he lowered his head, raised his sleeve and wiped his reddened eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Camp Chief Jiang said that he would take care of me and the child in the future, but I didn't ask for anything, and took the child and left with him." This dress is indeed Sister-in-law Qian's, I was afraid that I would embarrass Camp Chief Jiang by coming here to eat and dress too poorly, so I made some food and sent it to Sister-in-law Qian, saying that I wanted to borrow her clothes to wear overnight, and I would return them to her tomorrow. ”

After speaking, tears rolled down like beads. In just a few words, she praised Jiang Mingchuan, Qian Yufeng and herself, no matter how poor she was, she didn't borrow other people's things in vain.

Such a comparison makes the other party even more unreasonable and mean.

The two children stood behind Jin Xiuzhu, He Yan was still young, he couldn't hide his thoughts, and when he saw Jin Xiuzhu crying pitifully, he who had always been silent and timid, immediately glared at Liu Hongyue opposite, with unkind eyes.

Only Fu Yanyan's eyes widened in surprise, she looked at Liu Hongyue, who was besieged by others with their eyes, and then looked at Jin Xiuzhu, and suddenly felt that the woman in front of her was a little strange, because in her memory, Jin Xiuzhu never showed weakness.

Fang Min sighed, reached out and patted Jin Xiuzhu on the back, "It's okay, it's okay, the good days are still to come?" Battalion Chief Jiang is a good person, and the two children are also well-behaved, not crying or crying. ”

"yes, what's wrong with borrowing clothes? My children's clothes are all given by relatives, whose family is so rich? ”

"It's okay, next time I borrow my clothes, who dares to gossip I'll tear her mouth."

These words made Jin Xiuzhu laugh, and when everyone saw her laughing, they chatted enthusiastically again, but the topic revolved around Jin Xiuzhu, and Liu Hongyue interjected two sentences and no one agreed, especially the few people around her didn't know whether they wanted it or not, and slowly moved the stool to Jin Xiuzhu's side, and their faces were even more difficult to see.

But the conversation didn't last long. Soon Head Yan and Political Commissar Zhu came back, several women stood up, there were a lot of people, and Head Yan simply turned around and went out to borrow a table next door and came back.

Several women were divided into two groups, some swept the floor, and some went to the kitchen to help serve the food, Jin Xiuzhu was afraid that she would break the food and attract attention, so she only moved the chair outside, and stood beside Jiang Mingchuan while moving.

Jiang Mingchuan heard Jin Xiuzhu's words just now, although he was a little touched in his heart, he also knew that she was careful to think a lot, but he couldn't get angry, and even had a trace of envy in his heart.

For dinner, there is a table for men and a table for women and children.

The child does not go to the table, stands next to him with a bowl, and tells his mother what he wants to eat, and some children are lively, and will run to the father's table to point to what he wants to eat.

Jin Xiuzhu hugged Fu Yanyan to her lap, Fu Yanyan took the spoon and scooped it up and ate it by herself, while eating, she remembered that Jin Xiuzhu taught her to chew slowly last night, her back should be straight, and she subconsciously did it, He Yan was too, standing obediently next to him, Jin Xiuzhu would eat whatever he wanted, and the two children were not noisy or noisy, in stark contrast to the few children next to her who were gobbling up meat and clamoring to eat meat.

He Yan doesn't care, neither of them are close, it is natural to be restrained outside, but such a small female doll can be so well-behaved and sensible, which is really surprising to the sharp-eyed people present.

Fang Min, who was sitting next to Jin Xiuzhu, turned her head and looked at it several times, feeling that the mother and daughter were very delicate and delicate, and it made people feel comfortable when they looked at it, although she didn't have a child yet, but if she really wanted to give birth, she hoped to give birth to such a well-behaved one.

After eating, the people in the house chatted for a while, and when Wang Ling came out after washing the dishes, no one said goodbye one after another.

Jin Xiuzhu and Jiang Mingchuan were left behind, and when the people were almost gone, the two followed to say goodbye, Jin Xiuzhu pretended to remember, picked up the basket in the corner next to her, and then took out the plate inside with a smile, "The first time I came, I didn't know what to send, there were no good things at home, so I made some food myself, and I hope I don't dislike it." ”

Lift the lid and reveal a beautiful pile of bean cakes on the plate, beautiful golden yellow, which looks very attractive in the soft light.

Wang Ling and Head Yan both showed a hint of surprise on their faces, they had lived for most of their lives, and they had never seen this kind of food.

Captain Yan didn't think about it and said, "This is a good thing, you can take it home and eat it yourself." ”

The child standing behind him stuck out his head and pulled his father's clothes vigorously when he heard this, "Daddy." ”

I wanted him to take it back, and when he saw that his father ignored him, he looked at his mother again.

Head Yan's face was a little embarrassed.

Wang Ling didn't want to wipe her man's face, so she had to follow the words: "That's right, you take it home to eat, there is still food at home, and calling you to eat is to recognize people, familiarize yourself, the army is a family, don't like these." ”

"Sister-in-law said these words politely, this is also a piece of my heart and Camp Commander Jiang, you and the regiment commander take care of the two of us, we are also grateful to you, it is not a valuable thing, it is all done by yourself, and it does not cost anything. If you don't, it will make me a little sad. ”

Jin Xiuzhu said so, and Wang Ling couldn't say anything more, so she had to smile and go to the kitchen to get a dish to load.

Sending people out of the door, the smile on Wang Ling's face didn't fall, and as soon as she and Head Yan turned around, they saw that their boy's mouth was already full, and he slurred his words while eating: "It's delicious, Mom, you come and eat it too." ”

Wang Ling glanced at him angrily, "How old are you, no one has any younger brothers and sisters who are sensible." ”

At dinner in the evening, she also saw that the two children of Camp Chief Jiang's family were more sensible than the other.

Yan Xing snorted twice, expressing dissatisfaction.

Next to him, Head Yan also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Don't talk about your son, you too, I obviously invited Xiaojiang's family, why did you call the others too?" ”

Wang Ling was a little weak-hearted and found a reason for herself, "I'm not thinking about how lively people are." ”

Yan Xing directly pierced her thoughts, "No, you obviously told Aunt Qin and Aunt Liu to see what good people Jiang Mingchuan has fallen into, but you don't even want Aunt Zhao, or is it not a fairy?" I don't believe that so many people are shouting, and they can't reveal their true form. ”

was retold word by word by his son, Wang Ling's face was a little unbearable, and she glared at him angrily, "The homework is finished, right?" ”

Yan Xing puffed out his face.

Head Yan's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Tell me about you, people still want to make you good food, you have such a mind to target her, Jiang Mingchuan and Zhao Yun have only seen each other, and they haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, and this is a matter of two people, what is it for you to intervene in the middle?" Do you have to be happy if the two of you have no face? Jiang Mingchuan's parents used to be heroes in the war, and Jin Xiuzhu's husband was also a martyr, so no matter how good Zhao Yun is, it is worth your attention to the two of them? ”

Wang Ling was speechless. She didn't think about it so much, she just felt that she had finally taken a good look at the pair, and she was suddenly upset by someone in the middle, and someone coaxed her in her ear, so she messed around together.

In fact, tonight's impression of Jin Xiuzhu is still good, and she doesn't talk much and knows how to be polite. But at this time, I felt shameless when I was reprimanded by a man, "You also said that Jiang Mingchuan and Zhao Yun are a good match before, why do you blame me now?" I didn't do anything, didn't everyone eat very happily, what are you fierce, I'm tired and tired in the kitchen, what are you doing? I didn't see you help clean up after eating, where did you get your face to say me? ”

“……”

When the two quarreled, the bean cake had been almost eaten by Yan Xing, and in the end, there were two pieces left, and Yan Xing hurriedly ran back to his room.

——

Jin Xiuzhu and Jiang Mingchuan returned home and hurriedly boiled water to wash, Jin Xiuzhu washed first, and after washing, she sat on the bed to sort out the fabric she bought during the day, and when she bought the fabric today, she bought a sewing box by the way, she took her hand and cut it with scissors, her hand was fast and steady.

When Jiang Mingchuan came out of the bath, he saw her lowering her head and gesturing seriously, the soft candlelight hit her face, and everyone looked a little gentle.

Jin Xiuzhu measured her daughter's arm, and quickly stuffed her hand into the quilt and touched her little face, "Sleep." ”

The little girl looked at her fixedly, her eyes suddenly became a little moist, she was afraid of being seen, so she quickly closed her eyes.

Jin Xiuzhu didn't find it, and quickly sewed out a rough outline with a needle and thread, which looked like the ones she saw in the department store today, and after finishing her daughter's, she began to compare He Yan's again, she was going to draw a picture first, and wait until tomorrow to ask Qian Yufeng to buy cotton, and then really do it.

He Yan obediently stretched out his hand to measure her.

Jiang Mingchuan dried his hair and sat on the bed, Jin Xiuzhu glanced at him, thought about it, and said in a warm voice: "Thank you tonight, I heard those words as soon as I entered the door at that time, I really didn't know what to do, when you stood in front of me to protect me, I suddenly had a bottom in my heart, and no one has ever been so good to me." ”

Jiang Mingchuan was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that she would remember such a small thing in her heart, and she didn't know how to react for a while.

But my heart seems to have been injected with a warm current, and the whole person is warm.

No one ever said these things to him.

Jin Xiuzhu continued to smile and said: "Let's not mention the past, I will treat you as my real man in the future, let's live a good life, no one wants to underestimate us, what do you say?" ”

After speaking, he looked at him with bright eyes, with a bit of admiration and admiration in his eyes.

She has always known that men love to be heroes, and if she holds him high, and then casts her eyes with admiration, no man can stand it.

Sure enough, even Jiang Mingchuan, who has always been calm, is a little unbearable, he originally planned to live with Jin Xiuzhu as a respectful guest, Jin Xiuzhu is the wife of his comrade-in-arms, he can marry her, but he can't do disrespectful things, but now when he heard these words, his heart suddenly wavered, and after just a few days of getting along, he gradually realized a sense of home.

I don't know if it was because her voice was too good, or if the candlelight in the room was too dim, so he nodded his head in a ghostly way.

Kim so-joo smiled.

Jiang Mingchuan was a little afraid to look at her, so he quickly lay down, closed his eyes, and his mind was in a mess.

When Kim so-joo achieved her goal, she blew out the kerosene lamp next to her and lay down to sleep.

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, when Jiang Mingchuan and He Yan got up, Jin Xiuzhu and Fu Yanyan skillfully turned over and continued to sleep.

The father and son looked at the backs of the two and paused, and finally didn't say anything, lowered their footsteps and went out.
