Chapter 52: Girls, don't mock other girls

~9 min read 1,669 words

In the last few days, Shen Man had been a bit "neglectful of her proper work," only caring about cultivating feelings with Brother Jiang Ye and going to the beach.

She hadn't been managing the space seriously; the Spiritual Liquid and seed sowing in the space were all being handled by Tangyuan—a peerless good cat~

"Meow-woo."

Master, I want to eat sponge cake. When you go to buy furniture with the big boss tomorrow, can you buy sponge cake for me?

"Of course you can. You are my most precious pet. Let alone sponge cake, even if you wanted to eat large yellow croaker, I would get it for you."

Shen Man hugged Tangyuan on the soft couch and rubbed it for a long time, rubbing it until it purred shyly and started kneading milk unconsciously, only then did she stop.

Shen Man read a storybook in the space for a while, and after feeling a bit sleepy, she left the space, lay on the Guesthouse bed, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and went to sleep.

Perhaps because there were many prospective military wives staying at the Guesthouse for the next week, the boiler room was burning coal.

The heat passed through the pipes and was transmitted to every room. It was warm, and she had a good night's sleep.

This night, some were happy, and some were worried.

At dawn, the sea level was dyed with sparkling gold, and the sonar on the passing passenger ships made a woo-woo sound.

A new day began.

Jiang Ye always kept the habit of waking up at 6 o'clock, spending five minutes washing up, five minutes jogging to the canteen for breakfast, and then going to the training ground for various training sessions.

Because Deputy Regiment Commander Qian Honglu was dismissed, a deputy position opened up in the regiment he commanded.

Besides Lu Xiu Bai, who was recovering from his injuries, there were five battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders under him.

He summoned these five battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders to a meeting to first decide on the military's future management model.

Finally, he announced that they should all be prepared; in half a month, he would conduct an assessment for the five of them.

Cultural subject: combat plans and proficiency.

Comprehensive quality subject assessment: including physical fitness, combat coordination, and command ability.

Hearing the Regiment Commander say this, all five showed grateful and excited expressions.

The treatment of a Deputy Regiment Commander was completely different from that of a battalion commander or deputy battalion commander!

They all knew that Lu Xiu Bai was Regiment Commander Jiang's future brother-in-law, and they had originally guessed whether this good opportunity would directly support his brother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, it was they who were narrow-minded!

How could they think of Regiment Commander Jiang like that?

At this moment, the five were completely convinced by Regiment Commander Jiang because of the fair, just, and open Deputy Regiment Commander assessment opportunity he gave them!

After Jiang Ye handled this matter, he went to get the slip, borrowed the military truck, and went to pick up his little girl to go outside the Sea Island together to buy furniture and items for their future home...

Over at the Guesthouse, Wang Mingkui had eaten a lot of gossip last night, and now looking at the little girl Shen Man, her eyes were even more compassionate.

So, besides providing breakfast for her, she also peeled a salted duck egg for her.

"Little Shen, you're thin. You should nourish your body more in the future; otherwise, with your small frame, how will you handle the physique of the one at your place after marriage?"

As a woman who had been married for many years and had two children, talking about lewd topics was as natural as could be.

Shen Man had been cramming knowledge recently, but there was a big difference between text and practice.

Hearing it suddenly, she didn't understand.

After pondering for a few seconds, she reacted, and her face turned bright red, as red as rouge, as if it were about to drip blood.

"Sister Wang."

Shen Man begged for mercy; her skin was still thin, and she really couldn't handle being teased like this.

"Hey, after the collective wedding is held, you and the one at your place will be a legitimate couple.

Some things, sister is an experienced person, let me tell you, a girl's body is important. Don't be too shy to speak up, and let the one at your place bully you.

If you feel uncomfortable, you have to say it; don't hold it in.

Two years ago, there was a young wife who was shy and embarrassed to mention it, and as a result, she had a stomachache in the middle of the night, a corpus luteum rupture, and was sent to the Military Region Hospital for emergency treatment. She almost didn't make it..."

Wang Mingkui didn't usually talk much, but she had heard from her husband, Ji, last night that this girl's family situation was special: her parents divorced early, her mother passed away three years ago, and that father had long since remarried!

In short, not only was the little girl likable, but her background was also very pitiful.

Boys were one thing, but for girls, as a woman and a mother, she couldn't help but pity this girl and wanted to nag a few more words.

Shen Man lowered her head shyly and responded in a low voice:

"Thank you, Sister Wang, I'll keep it in mind."

As a proper medical student, she knew the symptoms Sister Wang mentioned were corpus luteum.

If this thing ruptured after strenuous exercise, it had to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible; it couldn't be delayed.

Sister Wang was able to give her advice from the bottom of her heart, and she appreciated it.

It could be considered the first big sister she had met and befriended after coming to the Sea Island.

"So well-behaved, eat more. If the porridge isn't enough, I'll get you some more."

Wang Mingkui just loved such a well-behaved and likable little girl. Her own two sons were playing in the mud or asking for food every day; they weren't considerate at all!

"It's enough."

Shen Man drank the porridge in small sips. In the eyes of others, she was gentle and delicate, and every movement was very beautiful.

The prospective military wives who were originally gulping down their porridge subconsciously learned to imitate her, and the slurping sounds gradually quieted down.

There was a big difference between being pleasing to the eye and wolfing down food.

Military marriage was their stepping stone, an opportunity to change their ordinary, poor fate.

From now on, they also wanted to become elegant, calm, and better.

Whenever Shen Man accidentally made eye contact with other prospective military wives, she would show a friendly smile.

Girls, don't mock other girls.

When girls are away from home, isn't it better to help each other, encourage each other, and achieve each other?

"Hello, my name is Ye Qinghong. Can we be friends? We can look out for each other in the Jiashuyuan in the future."

"Sure! My name is Shen Man. When we have time in the future, we can go to the beach together."

"Mm-hmm, thank you. You're beautiful; I've never seen a girl as beautiful as you."

"You're also very cute. Let's not talk for now; my partner is here to pick me up. Let's chat another day."

"Mm-hmm."

Ye Qinghong's face was filled with joy. So the beautiful girl's name was Shen Man.

What a nice name.

More importantly, judging from her clothes and food, her family background must be very good, but she had no airs at all and was unexpectedly approachable.

This could be considered the first friend she had made among these prospective military wives!

After the collective wedding was over, she would be able to follow the army smoothly. By then, living in the same Jiashuyuan and both being military wives, they would definitely have plenty of time and opportunities to play together.

However, not everyone thought like her.

There were also prospective military wives whose eyes flashed with jealousy. They were all prospective military wives, so why could that Shen Man get special treatment? She had seen it; that receptionist had diligently peeled a duck egg for her!

And she, her bowl was empty, with only salted green beans...

It was unfair, too unfair!

But she wouldn't be stupid enough to ask herself; instead, she chose to pretend to mention it inadvertently while washing clothes with other military wives in the water room—

"Hey, I wonder what rank the officer is that the military wife named Shen Man is with? How come she gets special treatment? And gets to eat salted duck eggs!"

"Maybe she's the receptionist's sister."

"Sun Meili, don't tell me you're jealous because the little girl is beautiful?"

"Zhao Cuicui, don't talk nonsense. I'm just curious. What, do you want to fight me?"

"Heh~ I'm too lazy to fight you. You're narrow-minded and jealous, and you won't let me say it.

Fine, fine, fine, I won't say it. Everyone, let's disperse; be careful about being used as a gun by others."

"You—"

Sun Meili's face twisted for a second. Furious, she wrung out her clothes and stormed back to her room to sulk.

"Cuicui, do you know her?"

"I know her. We're from the same brigade. She's a notoriously lazy woman with a loose tongue. You guys be careful in the future and don't get used by her."

"Hey, thank you, Cuicui, I'll keep it in mind."

"I'll keep it in mind too."

The prospective military wives in the water room all patted their chests in fear.

Sure enough, where there are many people, there is right and wrong.

They hadn't even moved into the Jiashuyuan yet, and there were already a bunch of issues... ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
