Early in the morning, He Xiaoyun and Wang Chunhua arrived at Jianwei's uncle's house. Because she already had two daughters-in-law, Wang Chunhua, who was quite experienced, was taken away to discuss the details of the wedding banquet. He Xiaoyun went to the kitchen backyard to wash and choose dishes with others.

Those who came over to help were both young and old wives from the same brigade who were familiar with each other. As soon as He Xiaoyun arrived in the kitchen backyard, someone greeted her: "Have you eaten breakfast? There are still porridge and steamed buns in the pot. You can eat before you work."

He Xiaoyun replied: "I've eaten before I leave the house."

"Just come and say if you're hungry, are you afraid this aunt won't give you food?" The other party joked.

He Xiaoyun also laughed.

Someone asked her again: "When will you and Jianwei leave?"

"This time, the holiday is only twenty days, and there are only four to five days left."

A few people were curious, and they asked about the situation in the army, such as where she went to live, where they eat, and whether she would go to work in the fields there...

He Xiaoyun answered them one by one.

"It's good for you and Jianwei. I have a nephew who has been in the army for seven or eight years. His wife still can't join the army." Someone said.

Another said: "I guess it isn't enough years. Jianwei has been in the army for more than ten years. By the way, Xiaoyun, how much is Jianwei's monthly salary?"

When this question was asked, everyone else pricked their ears to listen.

He Xiaoyun still knows the truth that she shouldn't brag about money. But if she said it's low, they'll think she lied. If it's high, others will scheme something.

She then said: "There are dozens of yuan. Since Jianwei is a soldier, his expense was only clothes and food, sometimes if his comrades got injured or retired, he lent them money. When we arrived, he got two more mouths to feed. I also need to pay to buy some fresh vegetables and firewood when winter comes." 

"Open your mouth."

"Huh?" He Xiaoyun was puzzled and opened her mouth subconsciously. The next second, a sweet and soft thing was stuffed into her mouth. After chewing it, there was also the sweetness of honey and milk.

It was a wedding candy that Wei Jianwei specifically brought.  He grabbed one, but he didn't eat it himself and kept it for her.

After feeding her, Wei Jianwei helped her pick the beans. When the others saw it, they couldn't help but joke. He Xiaoyun was a little embarrassed and urged Jianwei to do something else.

Wei Jianwei looked at ease and he didn't get up until someone in front called for him. It happened that Wang Chunhua called He Xiaoyun into a room to go over. As soon as she left, the kitchen backyard began to be filled with whispers.

"It seems that the two of them are very cordial, didn't they say that those two couldn't get along?"

"You're obsolete. When Jianwei came back last year, I often saw him and Xiaoyun taking their child for a walk. If there's no harmony between them, will Jianwei even bring Xiaoyun to the army?"

"Really? I lived far away and didn't meet them. Good thing that they're better now."

"What do we even know about this young couple? They will fight sometimes and reconcile. Jianwei was willing to spend money on his wife. Before Xiaoyun joined the army last year, he sent her a lot of good things. When the postman came, I saw all the big and small bags from him."

The audience listened and sighed: "Her fate really became different. In the future, Jianwei will rise to a higher position, and Xiaoyun will still be his wife and enjoy the benefits."

"Right."

A few years ago, when He Xiaoyun made a fuss about marrying Wei Jianwei. The people watched her make a fool of herself, they didn't expect to envy her one day.

It shouldn’t be a problem now that he's four, right? This kid yelled every day that he was already a big child and big children need to sleep alone. (lol.)

However, the child might protest. If the partition was low, the child might bother them, but partitioning the wall is also another big bother.

Or I can simply leave him to Jianhua. A certain father thought very unreliably. (Yuanhang, wake up! Your father is planning to throw you away!)

Back home, Feng Qiuyue was in the hall, saw them, and asked, "Back so soon?"

"Xiaoyuan is sleepy, we're taking him back to sleep. Did sister-in-law eat at noon?"

"Yes, your eldest brother came back earlier and brought me something to eat."

"You are a pig, but I'm a normal person." He Xiaoyun said proudly, feeling better than him.

Wei Jianwei thought of something and laughed.

"What?!" He Xiaoyun fiercely asked, and her instinct is telling her it was not a good thing.

Wei Jianwei smiled a little and said, "You're not a mommy pig but you're cabbage."

"...What's the meaning of that?"

"You're the good cabbage that has been swept away by pigs."

He Xiaoyun endured for three seconds, but still can't hold it back, jumped up and beat him, "Damn, you're the cabbage!!!"
