Chapter 327: So she went through the back door, so what?

Fortunately, as he continued to unpack, he unpacked a rabbit doll, which made Xiao Nuomi beam with joy.

Later, he unpacked a little tiger, which naturally went to Xiao Mantou.

Looking at the expensive health products unpacked all over the floor, Old Master Lu scratched his head, thinking, those old buddies wouldn't have emptied their family savings, would they?

Regardless, his secret financial support over the years hadn't gone down the drain. The higher they sat in the future, the more helpful they would be to his grandchildren and grandson-in-law.

Even if they didn't hold high positions, as long as he didn't die, some interpersonal relationships could be maintained forever...

Interpersonal relationships were the true wealth he left for his descendants.

For the next period of time, Old Master Lu began to trade for seafood and dried fish with the military wives in the family compound, sorting them into categories as return gifts to be sent back to the Capital.

These things were commonplace on the Sea Island and weren't worth much.

But in inland cities, they were rare and good things.

Just like that, without Shen Man and the others knowing, they had gained a bunch of "grandfather" connections.

It was another warm winter, and the Old Masters spent their second joyful New Year on the Sea Island.

When the spring came in March, they would pack their luggage again, leave the Sea Island, return to the Capital for a trip, stay at home for a month or two, and then, before the weather got completely hot, return to the Sea Island to continue their retirement.

Honestly, after living on the Sea Island for a long time, they weren't used to the weather in the Capital at all.

They couldn't explain it to their family; once their family retired, they would follow them to the Sea Island and understand!

Another page of the calendar on the wall was turned. Time flew, and it was the annual May Day.

On Labor Day, the Sea Island was changing with each passing day.

The first batch of military wives who came for matchmaking were all holding their own children to watch the fun.

They chatted about what they were like two years ago when they first came to the Sea Island. At that time, they were green, having survived the days of fear and anxiety that military wives generally had to endure, and the days of raising children alone and strong...

During this period, among the same batch of military wives, some became widows and left the family compound.

During this period, they gave birth to children collectively, and many of the babies were born in the same year, same month, and same day, all named "Patriotic," "Peaceful"...

Now the babies in their arms could crawl and were learning to walk.

Hearing the children call them "Mom," their hearts softened into a mess.

Now, seeing the annual matchmaking conference, they were all in the posture of people who had been through it, smiling at the girls who were as green as they once were...

Amei was nineteen years old this year. Last year, she didn't find a suitable partner. This year, her aunt made her a well-fitting floral dress. Looking in the mirror, she felt like she was in a dream.

When she first came to the Sea Island to rely on her aunt last year, she was still an ugly duckling.

She was the ugly duckling in the story Auntie Shen told them, inconspicuous, not good-looking, and even somewhat out of place.

Now, her skin was much fairer.

Her hair had also changed from dry and yellow to smooth and shiny like silk, as black as lacquer.

She had also grown four centimeters taller; she was now 1.62 meters tall!

Wearing the floral dress her aunt made, the new shoes Auntie Ye made for her, and applying the lipstick Auntie Shen gave her, her whole person had changed significantly!

The two little cousins, who were always carefree, praised her even more directly—

"Cousin is so beautiful today!"

"Oh no, Cousin has always been beautiful!"

"Beau-ti-ful."

Even Si Si, holding the toy tiger in her arms, beamed with joy and echoed her brothers.

"My Si Si says you're beautiful, Amei. Be confident, head up and chest out, and go to the matchmaking bravely."

Wang Mingkui encouraged her niece. Having raised her by her side for a year, she was like a flower carefully watered, now grown into a graceful young woman.

If she didn't meet someone she liked this time, it didn't matter; she could continue next year. Anyway, girls weren't useless just because they didn't get married.

She had already decided; next year, when the Red Education Garden was hiring, she would find a way to squeeze her niece in.

Not using connections when you have them is stupid.

So she went through the back door, so what?

If you're not convinced, come and bite her!

"Hmm, I know, Auntie."

Amei nodded and left the family compound with the girls who came to call her to go to the matchmaking venue...

"You little girl, why did you grab your brother's toy again? You deserve a spanking."

Wang Mingkui watched her niece leave, then combed her daughter's braids.

Hmm, two braids pointing to the sky, tied with red ropes, comparable to the "Fuwa" on the poster.

"Hit, hit!"

Si Si raised her smiling face, thinking her mother was playing a game with her, waving the little tiger excitedly, laughing as saliva sprayed out from her sprouting front teeth.

"Mom, Sister is spraying saliva."

"You sprayed too when you were little."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Fine, if you don't believe me, ask your dad. You didn't speak until you were two years old. I thought you were a little mute. I didn't expect that you'd be a chatterbox when you grew up..."

Ji Weijia was stunned. He had originally wanted to complain about his sister's saliva spraying on the chicken cake, but he didn't expect to accidentally learn about his "interesting story" when he was little. He was dumbfounded; how could he have been a little mute!

Woo woo woo.

At this moment, he didn't notice that while he was dazed, his older brother had already eaten two pieces of chicken cake.

Ji Weiguo: He didn't mind his sister's saliva.

Chicken cake, so fragrant.

By the time the younger brother reacted, there was only one piece of chicken cake left on the table...

"Mom! Big Brother stole it!"

"Mom, I don't mind Sister's saliva."

"Mom!"

"Ma, Ma!"

The voices of the three siblings rose and fell like sparrows, chattering, so noisy.

Wang Mingkui: Who said having many children makes the house lively?

Hmm, lively, so noisy!

So noisy!

Except for her little cotton-padded jacket, she wanted to pack the other two and kick them out the door. Whoever wants them, hurry up and pick them up!

Shen Man had been covering a shift for a week and could finally rest well today, taking care of the babies at home.

And so, on this lively and good day, Sister Qinghong and the others were holding their children and pulling her to watch together.

Thinking of the scorching sun, she wore a wide straw hat.

She also applied a layer of sunscreen on the faces of the two little ones.

Yes, sunscreen!

She didn't know which friend of Grandfather's sent it, but anyway, a box was sent, a full twelve bottles!

Besides giving them to her sister-in-law, colleagues, and Sister Qinghong and the others, she still had five bottles left!

Use it; why keep it?

One should enjoy life in time.

Pei Yan Ting was lazy and didn't want to move, but once she heard about watching the fun, she became interested.

A group of military wives, holding their children and pushing strollers, went to the gate of the military region in a mighty force to find a place to cool off, chat, and watch the fun.

And don't say, you really shouldn't say, I don't know which genius actually set up a place to sit in advance. Above the place to cool off, there was a straw-woven umbrella-shaped dome!

There were also fellow villagers selling fruit by the roadside, opened coconuts, bunches of bananas, seasonal fruits...

And Qingbuliang (a refreshing dessert)!

Amazing! ===== CHAPTER 328 =====

Incredible!
