The two sisters-in-law thought Xu Jiajia was saying that they were trying to sow discord, and they shook their heads together: "No, we didn't mean any harm."
Xu Jiajia could tell whether they had bad intentions or not: "I didn't say you had bad intentions just now, and I know you meant well, and I appreciate it."
The two sisters-in-law obviously didn't expect Xu Jiajia to say that. They were stunned for a few seconds and felt embarrassed. It seemed not good for someone to say such things when he just came to the army.
The two sisters-in-law apologized and left in a hurry.
Old Lady Xu listened to the entire conversation in the hall. She looked very unhappy: "The family members in this army are more annoying than the gossipers in our village. You just came to the army, and they came to your house to talk about these messy things. They are just doing it on purpose."
Xu Jiajia didn't care at all: "It's okay."
Old Lady Xu thought about it and felt that there was no need to get angry for unfamiliar people: "These two people are too gossipy. Don't have any contact with them in the future."
Shen Yuebai came back with food soon.
He borrowed a few lunch boxes from someone.
The bottom was filled with rice, and the top was filled with vegetables.
There were four dishes in total.
There was meat, tofu, beans, and vegetables.
There was enough food.
Enough for five people.
Shen Yuebai was very busy.
As soon as he put down the bowl, he was called away by his comrades.
Xu Jiajia and others were left at home to clean up.
There were cabinets in each room, and they were newly made.
The old lady was delighted: "This cabinet is better-looking than the ones made in our hometown."
Xu Jianguo grinned: "This is a big city, the master has a wide range of experience, and the cabinets made must be better-looking than those in small places."
In fact, what made Xu Jianguo happiest was not the furniture, but the electricity.
There was no electricity in his hometown, and everything was done with oil lamps, which was very inconvenient.
He often thought, it would be great if there was electricity.
The four of them were busy for an afternoon.
It took them a while to decorate the new home.
Shen Yuebai came back and saw the brand new home, and was slightly surprised: "It was very fast, and the house was made beautiful in one afternoon."
Xu Jiajia was so tired that she kept pinching her feet: "You can get food this afternoon, and start eating at home tomorrow."
Shen Yuebai nodded: "Okay--"
...
The news that Xu Jiajia came to the army spread quickly.
Several family members gathered together to gossip.
"I heard that Deputy Battalion Commander Shen's country wife is here. Have you seen her?"
"I didn't see her, but many soldiers did. They said she was very delicate and tender, and didn't look like a country girl at all."
"Is she pretty?"
"She is pretty, of course. I heard she is prettier than the flower in the art troupe. However, I heard that even her family members came this time."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the person who was speaking.
"What do you mean?"
The person who spoke looked around and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Deputy Battalion Commander Shen's wife's family will also stay in the family compound in the future."
"What? Who follows the army, and brings a family with him? Isn't this a joke? Doesn't Deputy Battalion Commander Shen have an uncle? He actually let his wife bring his father-in-law and grandmother to follow the army?"
"Who knows what's going on? Usually, Deputy Battalion Commander Shen only brags about how powerful his wife is, and never reveals a word about the family relationship."
"I have been in the army for many years, and this is the first time I have seen someone bring his family with him."
"Yes, if you live with your father-in-law for a long time, there will definitely be conflicts!"
"I don't know what Deputy Battalion Commander Shen is thinking. He actually agreed to such a ridiculous thing!"
