Chapter 147: Afternoon Military Area Dishes
Wen Qiaoling didn't care what they said. She just waited for Ye Zhaozhao to take out the things. Seeing that it was a bottle of sauce, Wen Qiaoling asked.
"Zhao Zhao, can I have something to eat?"
"Sure, you can eat it."
This is the pickled radish that Ye Zhaozhao made herself, and brought it to eat with her meal.
Wen Qiaoling poured a little and gave it back to Ye Zhaozhao, without taking anything else, and just ate it.
"Zhao Zhao, this is so delicious. Can I buy some of this radish from you?"
"No need to pay, I'll bring you some next time."
Ye Zhaozhao said directly, seeing that she liked it, Ye Zhaozhao gave her the bottle in his hand.
She brought three bottles, and Wen Qiaoling asked others to try them as well.
The others took a bite and didn't compete with her, a pregnant woman.
"Zhao Zhao, my mother-in-law has moved back and won't let me own the house."
Liu Xiujuan looks very happy today, and it's obvious that she has reconciled with her man.
Ye Zhaozhao was also happy for her. It was not easy for two people to get together, and it was not easy to run a family.
If divorce is really not worth it just because of this, Xue Fangfei watched them finish speaking.
To thank Ye Zhaozhao for her translation, I gave her some toys to take back for the children to play with.
She bought all these toys herself, even Liu Xiujuan got one. She took the toy car and asked curiously.
"Why did you buy so many toys?"
On the one hand, Xue Fangfei wanted to thank Ye Zhaozhao, and on the other hand, she bought it for her brother. Everyone was stunned.
"Aren't you your father's only daughter?"
"Yeah, but I have a younger brother."
Then Xue Fangfei said that these younger brothers were all born to her father's other women.
Everyone was shocked, even Ye Zhaozhao didn't expect it.
Director Xue looked such a serious person, so Liu Xiujuan asked another question.
"Doesn't your mother know?"
"I know. She thinks it's her fault that she can't have a son, and she doesn't blame my dad."
How could this be possible? Xue Fangfei had already gotten used to this.
She gets along well with her younger brothers, and her father is also nice to her.
Ye Zhaozhao said she couldn't understand it, but this was someone else's life.
When Ye Zhaozhao went to class, Teacher Xu found her and told her that there would be an English proficiency test next week and asked Ye Zhaozhao to prepare in advance.
The test includes four parts: listening, reading, writing and speaking. Ye Zhaozhao was very confident, but Jiang Tong looked worried when the get out of class was over.
Liang Fu came over and asked her if he could study with her because Ye Zhaozhao's spoken English was the most standard.
Ye Zhaozhao thought that Jiang Tong wanted to come anyway, so she nodded and agreed.
Then the two chatted for a few minutes, and Ye Zhaozhao knew that he was no longer a tutor.
Ye Zhaozhao was still curious. The tutoring job paid well and was easy, so why did Liang Fu just refuse to go?
"Zhao Zhao, I heard from my classmates that it's because of that lady of the house?"
"What happened to the mistress?"
Ye Zhaozhao learned about the incident from Jiang Tong. It turned out that the hostess fell in love with Liang Fu because he was a college student and looked good.
She told Liang Fu that she could pay for his schooling, but after being rejected several times, Liang Fu never went again.
Ye Zhaozhao didn't expect it to be like this. There really are all kinds of people.
Ye Zhaozhao has been studying with Jiang Tong and Liang Fu for a whole week, and it's the weekend.
Thinking about the pickled radish I promised to bring to Wen Qiaoling, I planned to return to the military area.
"I won't go back. Yun Zheng said he would come over in the evening."
Jiang Tong and Gu Yunzheng have been married for some time. At the beginning, they lived in harmony with each other, but recently, they felt something was different.
"Okay, then I'm leaving."
When Ye Zhaozhao returned to the military region by car, Sun Xiuhua came over.
"Zhao Zhao, you're back just in time."
"Sister-in-law Sun, what's wrong?"
"Well, the military section had some food this afternoon, and I was thinking of getting your portion."
The military region has land, and the wives of the soldiers used to apply fertilizer and water the crops, and now they are ripe.
The military district organized everyone to distribute the food, and Ye Zhaozhao thought he had finally made it in time.
In the afternoon, Sun Xiuhua and Ye Zhaozhao set off with their backpacks.
When they arrived, Jin Mandong and Qi Hongmei were already there. They were the most active people in the entire family compound.
Zhu Cui saw them and waved them over. Qin Xuehua was standing in front of them.
When she saw the two people, Qin Xuehua didn't smile as usual.
Sun Xiuhua didn't say anything either, and whispered to Ye Zhaozhao.
"Zhao Zhao, Qin Xuehua and her husband went to the hospital for a checkup. Guess what happened?"
"Sister-in-law Sun, please speak quickly."
"The doctor said it was Qin Xuehua who couldn't have children."
Ye Zhaozhao wondered why Qin Xuehua was so different from her previous enthusiastic self. Ye Zhaozhao pulled Sun Xiuhua, hinting her to stay away from her.
"Zhu Cui, is your factory closed today?"
Sun Xiuhua was bored waiting in line, so she chatted with Zhu Cui, who had taken a leave of absence to come back specifically to help distribute the dishes.
After all, the food is only distributed once a year. As they were chatting, they heard Qi Hongmei arguing with the soldiers who were distributing the food.
"Comrade, can you give me another bag of potatoes?"
Qi Hongmei stared at the small bag of potatoes eagerly. The soldier was embarrassed and refused.
"No, sister-in-law, these dishes are rationed for each household. If I give you more, there will be nothing for others."
The soldiers said so, but Qi Hongmei still couldn't bear to give up. Seeing this, the people behind her started talking.
"What's wrong with Qi Hongmei? It's just a small bag of potatoes. Why would she be so angry?"
They are all military wives and usually consider their husbands' face. At this time, someone who knows the situation said something.
"Forget potatoes, Qi Hongmei's family is barely making ends meet right now."
"how come?"
It turned out that it was about the last time Dadong was chatting and laughing with a female employee, although he moved out afterwards.
But Liao Juanzi couldn't swallow this humiliation, so she ran to the factory and made a big fuss.
Dadong was fired and now stays at home doing nothing every day.
Liao Juanzi was busy playing cards in the county town every day, so the family only relied on the platoon leader's allowance.
It would be strange if she wasn't poor. After hearing what she said, everyone felt that Qi Hongmei deserved it.
Instead of this, it would be better not to let Dadong get married.
Seeing that Qi Hongmei refused to leave, the soldier threatened her to go find the leader, and only then did Qi Hongmei leave.
The vegetables allocated to Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua's families were the same: ten kilograms of cabbage, five kilograms of radishes, five kilograms of potatoes, five kilograms of pumpkin, and five kilograms of beans.
There's no need for their men to come with these things; the two of them can move them back.
Today the food was distributed and the canteen prepared a big pot of rice. Gu Yunduan went to the canteen to get the rice and ate it.
Qi Hongmei’s house, she said to her husband.
"Dadong's job is gone, and your salary alone isn't enough to cover our expenses. Why don't you find me a job?"
The man thought so too. His son stayed in bed every day and his daughter-in-law was nowhere to be seen. If this continued, they would not be able to make ends meet.
The man went to see Director Jiang the next day.
"You want a high-paying job?"
"Yes."
Director Jiang felt that the platoon leader was a bit shameless, so he said that there were no jobs with high salaries.
Then I thought of Ye Zhaozhao. Even though he was the leader of a group, he was not picky.
A platoon leader wanted a high-paying job, and Director Jiang originally wanted to just say a few words to get rid of him.
But someone told him that the people who carried manure and fed the pigs had run away.
There was free time at work. Yes, Shen Jianxing and Li Cuiping waited for several days but Ye Zhaozhao didn't come to see them.
Wait until they come knocking again.
