Chapter 39 - .039 Short Protection
The next day, He Xiaoyun and Xu Lanxiang drove to the market to buy vegetables.
Because they left early and there were empty seats in the car, the two sat side by side, Wei Yuanhang and Wang Derong sat on their laps separately.
The car drove all the way from the city to the suburbs, and the neat streets were gradually replaced by low sheds and fields. Along the way, Xu Lanxiang explained to He Xiaoyun the changes in the neighborhood over the past few years.
Seeing that she seemed to be familiar with this film, He Xiaoyun asked curiously: “How many years has my sister-in-law been with Brother Wang in the army?”
Xu Lanxiang smiled and said: “What is your name, Brother Wang, call him Lao Wang. When he was promoted to deputy battalion commander, I will be here for four to five years. At that time, Rongrong was still in his stomach. , I can be regarded as the first batch to join the army.”
“That’s been a long time.” He Xiaoyun said.
“What about you? My sister-in-law is not afraid of you being angry. In fact, many people have been asking us Lao Wang before, wanting to introduce him to Wei. You see that he is young, decent, and has a future. Everyone knows. He must have a good day after he got married. How could I think that the old Wei Qiao married silently? If he hadn’t reported with the troops, everyone would have been kept in the dark. At that time, I was thinking every day, what is it like? You can be fascinated by the appearance of a goddess? As a result, you waited and waited until now. Why didn’t you come before?”
I’ve been here before, so I can’t fight every day? He Xiaoyun thought.
Of course, this can’t be said, she had to vaguely said: “The child is still young, and the elders in the family see me young, so they are not at ease.”
Xu Lanxiang nodded in understanding, “Yes, I think you are not too old and you are still a little girl. By the way, how old are you?”
“twenty two.”
“It’s really young, seven or eight years younger than me, how did you meet Old Wei?”
He Xiaoyun continued to bite the bullet and said nonsense: “We are in the same brigade, and we knew each other since we were young.”
“So it’s still a childhood sweetheart? No wonder that the other little girls, Lao Wei, didn’t like any of them before.” Xu Lanxiang said with a smile.
He Xiaoyun also smiled and quickly changed the subject, “Where are my sister-in-law and Lao Wang? How did they meet?”
“I, I used to work in a quilt factory. The workshop director and Lao Wang’s old boss were classmates. Later, our factory formed a friendship with the army.”
“Then my sister-in-law fell in love with him at first sight?” He Xiaoyun guessed.
Xu Lanxiang chuckles and said: “How can I? I didn’t look at him at the time. Don’t look at me like this. I was also a flower plant in our factory back then. Although the old Wang looks pretty good, he is a rural man, at home. There are so many people and complicated. I think if you get married, it would be tiring to be in relationships. So I didn’t think about him at the beginning, because he was so stubborn. Every time the troops rested, they ran outside our factory to guard. This guard comes and guards Go, I don’t know what’s wrong, I just agreed in a daze.”
He Xiaoyun joked: “How could a clever person like my sister-in-law agree in a silly way? It must be willing.”
“I’m still smart, and the stupidest person is me.”
The two chatted all the way, and it didn’t take long before they arrived at the market.
Xu Lanxiang is skillful in picking vegetables and bargaining with vegetable farmers. He Xiaoyun basically only needs to follow her to buy.
“By the way, what are you going to do?” Xu Lanxiang asked her.
“A braised pork elbow, sweet and sour pork ribs, pan-fried fish, and three more vegetable dishes. Does my sister-in-law think this will work?”
“Where can I go? It’s enough for you to have a stove, and it’s definitely not enough for you to burn it. Move the one from my house tomorrow.”
“Okay, then I will thank my sister-in-law first.”
The two bought a lot of fresh vegetables, bought a maltose for each of the two children, and went back home.
He Xiaoyun handed it to Wei Jianwei when he went out in the morning to invite guests. Seeing his reluctance, she wanted to laugh a little. She obviously had a good relationship with those comrades-in-arms. Why did she think of inviting them to dinner? Reluctant?
Because it was the closest to Lin Yuefei’s office, Wei Jianwei was the first to inform him.
After Lin Yuefei heard this, he exaggeratedly pulled out his ears, “What? Old Wei, what did you say? Let me go to your house for dinner tomorrow?”
Wei Jianwei’s face was written knowingly.
Lin Yuefei thought about it, and soon figured it out, and said with a smile: “It was my younger brother and sister, didn’t they? She asked you to come and invite us to eat at home.”
Now Wei Jianwei didn’t even want to talk to him.
But Lin Yue flew into the air, and deliberately said next to him: “Why do I remember that two days ago, someone said that I didn’t cook my meal at home? Old Wei, who do you think it is?”
Wei Jianwei turned and walked out. He caught up with him and said humbly: “Old Wei, you are not an inviting person. At least you have to have an invitation, how about an invitation?”
Seeing that Wei Jianwei ignored him, he smiled again: “There is no invitation, you should at least say a word of invitation, for example, ‘Lao Lin, please come to my house for dinner tomorrow.’ This is what it looks like.”
Wei Jianwei finally had enough of him and reacted. After he stood still, he turned around and stared at him, and said: “I see, you are not free tomorrow, I will go back and say, let you cook for one person tomorrow.”
He left after speaking.
Lin Yuefei was silly on the spot. It took him a long time to recall what he meant, and hurriedly clashed to catch up, “Who said I’m not free tomorrow? I’m free! I’m very free. Old Wei? Old Wei! Don’t let you let it go. My younger siblings don’t cook my food! I was wrong, Old Wei, don’t be so stingy…”
In the afternoon, Wei Jianwei ran into Wang Liqiang, the commander of the first battalion on the playground. Before he could speak, Wang Liqiang said, “I heard that your daughter-in-law wants to invite us to dinner tomorrow?”
Wei Jianwei responded indifferently.
Wang Liqiang patted him on the shoulder and smiled: “Why are you so unhappy? I have heard your sister-in-law say. After the younger brother and sister came, you stick to her every day. How can this be done, old Wei, a man, how can you have a love for your children?”
“It really shouldn’t be,” Wei Jianwei nodded in agreement, and then changed the subject, “I suddenly remembered something, that **** in the cultural troupe back then…Do you think my sister-in-law would like to know her?”
Wang Liqiang’s smile was stagnant, but he quickly fought back with a grinning grin, “As soon as you say it, I also remembered that there is a **** from the arts and crafts troupe, and I should let my younger brothers and sisters get to know each other.”
The two played dumb riddles. Actually, there was no secret. It was just a few years ago that the art troupe had a friendship with their troops. At that time, Wang Liqiang was interested in a lesbian, and the other party’s friends fell in love with Wei Jianwei.
At that time, the leader deliberately grouped the four of them into two pairs, but unfortunately the **** had no intention of Wang Liqiang, and Wei Jianwei had no interest in her friends.
Wang Liqiang told the people around him that he was dead, and he was not allowed to tell Xu Lanxiang about this.
Others were forced by his lewdness and prestige, only Wei Jianwei was not threatened, and before today, he thought that he had no handle in the hands of the other party. But now, when Wang Liqiang mentioned the female soldier who liked him at the beginning, although he asked himself a clear conscience, he subconsciously felt that this matter could not be let He Xiaoyun know.
At this moment, the two men grabbed each other’s pigtails, and no one wanted to make fun of anyone.
The two of them looked at each other in silence, and they both read: “You are ruthless.”
Then, at the same time turned and left with disgust.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, He Xiaoyun got up early and hurried to the market. This time Wei Jianwei went with her.
Last time, because she couldn’t mention it, she only bought rice and noodles for a few days. Now that she has free labor, she can buy more with peace of mind.
In addition to two pork knuckles, small half-scalloped ribs, and two fishes, I bought some fruits and sugar to entertain the children. Vegetables and eggs are available at home, so I don’t need to buy them for the time being.
The two went back to the family building. Wei Yuanhang heard the movement and ran over from the next door: “Mom and dad, you are back.”
Fearing that there were too many people in the market, he could not take care of him. In the morning, He Xiaoyun put him at Xu Lanxiang’s place. He said a lot of good things to coax him, and promised to come back and buy delicious food, so that the child nodded obediently. Just like that, he still felt Very wronged.
He Xiaoyun took out a few candied haws, “You and Rongrong each have one, and you have to give each of Rongrong brothers and sisters one, go.”
The child ran away happily holding the candied haws.
Not long after, Xu Lanxiang came over and said, “You can buy it for Xiaohang. The gluttonous monkeys in our family can’t fill their stomachs with how much they eat.”
“It won’t cost much.” He Xiaoyun smiled.
Xu Lanxiang shook her head, rolled up her sleeves to help, “Is this basin used for washing vegetables?”
He Xiaoyun hurriedly said: “I can do it by myself, and I am not polite with my sister-in-law. I have all thoughts about it. When I open the fire for a while, I will call you to help me.”
Xu Lanxiang waved her hand, “I’m idle at home, and I’m still idle at home. Rather than watching the monkeys make a fuss, it’s better to hide quietly in your place.”
Seeing that she had already started to work with a basin and vegetables, He Xiaoyun had no choice but to let her say, “Sister-in-law can eat more, otherwise she won’t be able to get back the hard work.”
“It’s up to you to say it.”
The two of them washed vegetables, and Wei Jianwei carried a bucket to fetch water.
When Xu Lanxiang saw it, he joked: “It’s your old Wei being considerate, no, it should be said that you taught him well. It’s like our old Wang, people have to shout and shout before they are willing to move, I said he would follow Like a stubborn cow in the field, take a step with a whip.”
He Xiaoyun was amused, “Maybe, Pharaoh just likes to hear his sister-in-law call him.”
“Bah, who wants him to like it.” Xu Lanxiang smiled and took a sip.
They washed for a while, and two more women appeared at the door. They looked into the room with some hesitation. When they saw Xu Lanxiang, they said with peace of mind: “I said that I was right. This is the home of Lao Wei and his younger siblings.”
Xu Lanxiang looked up to see them both, and smiled: “It’s not too late for you to come. If you are really like a guest, when Xiaoyun and I go to invite, then you can only let you drink the pot water.”
The two laughed and walked in, “How dare you? We don’t have such a big platoon.”
Xu Lanxiang introduced them to He Xiaoyun that the two women who came were the lovers of Lao Zhao and Lao Zhang she said yesterday, one named Huang, named Huang Lizhen, and the other named Li Xijin.
Looking at He Xiaoyun, the two couldn’t help but praise.
Huang Lizhen said: “Our old Zhang went home and told me that Lao Lin saw Lao Wei’s wife and said that she was more beautiful than the pillars of the cultural troupe. I didn’t believe it at the time. Now I see my younger brothers and sisters, but they are not handsome. It’s so good.”
Li Xijin also said: “The key is not only that people are beautiful, but also that they are in good shape. This old Wei doesn’t know what kind of blessing it is for Xiu to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law like his younger siblings.”
He Xiaoyun blushed with praise for them, and hurriedly asked them all to sit down, and then went to pour water.
Xu Lanxiang grabbed her and said, “A few of us, we don’t need to be polite. The two of us came early. They definitely came to work instead of drinking water.”
“Look at what you said, if we don’t want to do it, we have to do it.” Huang Lizhen said.
Xu Lanxiang snorted, “Why don’t you work? Those men are late now, and when they come, they all have to work, and they want to eat even if they don’t work. They want to be beautiful!”
Several people laughed at the same sentence, and Xu Lanxiang said again: “Let’s not call her sister-in-law, siblings, siblings, siblings, and we don’t even know who they are. Let’s just call the name.”
She is the oldest here, and since she said so, others naturally agree.
The four women chatting while working in the kitchen were not boring at all. It was Wei Jianwei who stood in the house for a few minutes after bringing water back. They were probably all women, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he hid before long.
After he left, Huang Lizhen smiled and said, “Have you seen? Just now, the look in Old Wei’s eyes turned towards Xiaoyun. Ouch, I want to avoid it.”
“What do you mean by you?” Xu Lanxiang said, “I found out two days ago. Old Wei, he, he wanted to wear Xiaoyun on his trouser belt when he went to work.”
“Tsk tsk, I can’t tell at all.”
“Xiaoyun is really good, give us some tips, how can we make Old Wei stick you so much?”
In the past, Xu Lanxiang was so jokes that He Xiaoyun couldn’t stand it. This time there were three, and she couldn’t bear it. She couldn’t help but blushed and pretended to be angry: “If you do this again, I will be angry.”
“Oh, don’t be angry, what do you do if you are angry and recruit Old Wei? We can’t beat him.”
Others spoke more happily.
He Xiaoyun had no choice but to escape under the pretext of playing hot water.
Wei Jianwei and Wang Liqiang were talking on the other side of the corridor, and when she saw her head downstairs, he followed.
He Xiaoyun drew water in the water room, turned around and almost bumped into him, patted her chest and said, “What are you doing?”
“Why don’t you call me to lift water?” Wei Jianwei was about to pick up the kettle in her hand.
How dare He Xiaoyun give it to him? If you ask him to bring it back, they will laugh more harder in a while.
She annoyed: “I blame you.”
Why do you blame him again? Wei Jianwei thought a little helplessly.
He Xiaoyun continued to murmur: “Wait, you still talk to Lao Wang and the others, don’t go back to the house, so that my sister-in-law and them will laugh again.”
Wei Jianwei probably guessed what happened. Seeing her embarrassed appearance, he thought for a while and said, “I will make an appointment with Lao Zhao and Lao Zhang to practice.”
After a few seconds, He Xiaoyun understood that he meant to vent her anger.
Although it seemed a bit unkind to count Huang Lizhen and others teasing her on their men, she couldn’t help but ask with interest: “Have you ever practiced with them?”
Wei Jianwei touched her head and said, “Don’t worry.”
“Then practice a little bit, don’t go too far?” He Xiaoyun suggested carefully.
“I have a sense of measure.”
After she heard it, she felt a little sweet in her heart, and she thought carefully to make you laugh at me. Now, you men will be taught by my men!
