Chapter 282: If a child leaves a tooth mark on their face, it won't be easy to marry a wife when they grow up
"That little girl from the Ji family has quite a bit of strength today; she bit Xiao Mantou's cheek with a 'paji' bite, scaring everyone's heart out..."
"There's such a thing? Let me take a look, tsk, there is a mark that hasn't faded yet."
"That little girl, she wanted to grab the milk bottle in Xiao Mantou's hand; thinking about it makes me want to laugh..."
"Children, it's good that they haven't grown teeth yet; if they had grown teeth, one bite might really leave a tooth mark."
"Indeed, we have to watch closely in the future. If a child leaves a tooth mark on their face, it won't be easy to marry a wife when they grow up."
"Then whoever bit, whoever is responsible."
"What if it's a boy who bit?"
"Simple, then swear to be brothers."
"Girl?"
"Just set a doll marriage; it's all fate."
The two old men were laughing and joking, with a joking tone.
Shen Man was ashamed and didn't get involved, thinking about dripping a drop of Spiritual Liquid into the milk powder when she made it for her son at night.
On this side, in the family quarters, Political Commissar Ji's house.
Political Commissar Ji came home and saw the big girl with open features, and recognized that she was his wife's eldest niece.
"Amei, haven't seen you for a few years, you've grown into a big girl."
"Hello, Uncle."
"Hey, sit, don't be reserved. I'm the master of the outside, and your aunt is the master of the inside. At home, even I listen to your aunt."
Political Commissar Ji put down his briefcase, talked while washing his hands, wiped the water droplets on his hands, and then picked up his daughter and kissed her.
"Cousin, Dad is right. At home, we all listen to Mom. You don't have to be reserved. If Mom sees it, she'll think we don't welcome you."
Ji Weiguo's eye-catching ability was not bad; following his father's words, he gave his cousin a reassurance.
His father reminded them brothers privately that when cousin came to the house, they should be very welcoming and give cousin a sense of security.
He and his brother kept it in mind and would definitely let cousin relax and live at ease.
"Mm, Uncle doesn't need to worry about me. The cousins are all very well-behaved. I will definitely get familiar with the house as soon as possible and listen to you and Aunt."
Wang Amei was very moved in her heart. After all, she hadn't seen her uncle for many years, and her uncle was a Political Commissar with a high rank in the army and had a dignified temperament. Being able to talk to her so gently already showed that he welcomed her very much.
"Alright, alright, don't stand and talk. The food is ready. Old Ji, come and eat. Amei, you come and set the bowls and chopsticks. After eating, we'll give Si Si a bath, spray on some toilet water, and I'll take you to line up to watch TV in the propaganda room!"
"Good."
Wang Amei heard her aunt's instructions and went to help without saying a word.
She wasn't here as a guest; she had something to ask of her aunt and uncle, so she naturally had to perform well, otherwise, eating and drinking for free, she couldn't pass the conscience test in her heart.
"Mother of the child, is there any cloth coupon at home? Take time to make two dresses for Amei. A little girl should dress beautifully, otherwise, when she marries in the future, she might not be able to wear them."
"Do you still need to say this? After the day after tomorrow, I'll adjust my shift and take Amei to the supply and marketing cooperative outside the Sea Island to tear some cloth, and then take it to the military wife with a sewing machine in the family quarters to make two beautiful dresses..."
"Aunt, I have clothes to wear, no need to spend money."
"Clothes are clothes, dresses are dresses.
You, listen to Aunt. Next week, the island will hold a matchmaking friendship meeting. I'll let your uncle arrange a quota for you. You look first to see if there is anyone you like.
No matter if it's an officer or not, let your uncle take a look for you. Don't rush. If you don't meet anyone you like this time, we'll wait until next year; anyway, it's held every year..."
"Then, I listen to everything Aunt and Uncle say."
Wang Amei's face was stained with red clouds, lowering her head and not daring to look at her aunt and uncle, only daring to eat rice.
Aunt and Uncle were really good to her; as soon as she came, they wanted to give her cloth coupons to make new clothes...
Ji Weiguo and Ji Weijia were told in advance that cousin came to the house to prepare for matchmaking and marriage.
If she didn't find a suitable person, she would stay and help take care of her sister, so Mom would be much more relaxed.
So hearing her parents give cousin cloth to make new clothes, the two brothers didn't say they wanted them too.
On major issues, they were a family and would be united.
They wouldn't be ignorant and fight for everything.
Just like that, Political Commissar Ji's house had an eldest niece living there, and life wasn't more chaotic; on the contrary, because of the arrival of the eldest niece, the house was much more orderly.
Although Wang Amei saw everything different from the rural hometown, she was sensible and didn't mean to compare with others.
The bitterness of "living under someone else's roof" that others talked about, she didn't feel at all in her aunt's house.
On the contrary, her aunt's family took good care of her emotions and really treated her as one of their own, without being cautious or bossy.
She felt respect, care, and family bonds.
Time flew, and in a blink of an eye, it was May 1st Labor Day.
Except for individual key positions that didn't have holidays, most positions had holidays.
Shen Man was one; she had a holiday.
Sister-in-law wasn't; sister-in-law had to be on duty and adjust her shift.
However, no matter who had a holiday, the two sisters-in-law could ensure that the children were taken care of, and the trivial matters at home and things that needed to be purchased had to be purchased.
Shen Man missed her man a bit; the days without him by her side seemed exceptionally long.
Sometimes she wanted to share fun and interesting things, but the side was empty.
Sometimes the changes and growth of the children, when she wanted to share, that kind of longing was like a vine, spreading in her heart.
It was a kind of busyness, a kind of longing that couldn't be forgotten even if she tried to forget it...
"Manman, there is a military wife at the door, saying she made an appointment with you to go outside the Sea Island to buy things."
"Oh, coming."
Shaking off the wild thoughts in her brain, Shen Man took her satchel, checked her clothes, and after confirming they were simple, hurried out of the room.
"Grandfather, Master, thank you for your hard work taking care of the children this morning. I'm going to buy things outside the Sea Island with the military wives, and I might come back at noon. If I don't catch the passenger ship, it will be in the afternoon. You don't have to worry. I'm riding a bike, and there is bicycle transportation, so I won't be tired..."
"Good, go early and come back early."
"Safety first."
"Mm, good."
Before leaving, Shen Man kissed the children's cheeks, then simply explained to her grandfather and master, and then pushed the bicycle and left the house.
Elder Lu stood at the door, watching the back of his granddaughter riding away.
Don't know why, his right eyelid had been jumping since he got up in the morning.
Hope, he thought too much.
Did he not sleep well, so it jumped?
Haibin City Train Station—
"Chug—chug—chug—"
The train starting from the Northeast station finally arrived.
The man with a compelling temperament and a clear appearance opened his sharp eagle eyes at the train's arrival reminder... ===== CHAPTER 283 =====
