Chapter 9

“Mom, the chicken, meat, rice, beans and so on that we ate today were all bought by me when I went to the city today.

I bought twenty kilograms of rice and five kilograms of mung beans and put them all in the rice jar.

Two pounds of pork belly, I ate half a pound at noon, and the rest is hidden in the cupboard! ”

Chen Jiao had expected Wu Guilan to ask this question sooner or later, so she opened her mouth and answered.

“This… there are so many…”

Wu Guilan was so shocked that she could hardly believe her ears.

Twenty kilograms of rice!

The last time she saw so much fine grains was when her son came back four years ago.

Chen Jiao smiled and said, “Mom, I am really sober now and will not be fooled by Chen Zhiqing and Zhang Zhiqing anymore.

No matter when Zhengxu comes back in the future, I will live a good life with you and Yangyang and Nannan. ”

“I will help you take care of the household from now on, and you don’t have to work with the strong laborers just to earn more work points.

It’s not worth it to exhaust yourself. ”

Wu Guilan had never thought that her daughter-in-law would one day be so thoughtful and considerate. Hearing these words, she was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

She wiped her tears and said, “Okay, okay, Jiaojiao, let’s live together as a family. That’s better than anything else!”

Lu Lingyang, holding his well-fed sister’s hand, looked at Chen Jiao suspiciously.

When the bad woman spoke, he didn’t hear any other voice in her heart.

Could it be that the bad woman was telling the truth?

Has she really changed and wants to live a good life with grandma and him and his sister?

The moment this thought came to his mind, Lu Lingyang immediately denied his own idea in his mind.

No, it’s impossible!

A bad woman can’t suddenly become good.

She must have done it to show them so that they would become complacent and then do something worse.

The vigilance in Lu Lingyang’s eyes increased instead of decreased.

Chen Jiao ignored him.

The little hedgehog was used to being on guard against her, and it would be hard to change his mind in a short time.

She took Wu Guilan to talk to the team leader, and asked him to assign work for women in the future, so that Wu Guilan would not have to work hard with the strong laborers.

The team leader is the eldest uncle of the Lu family, whose name is Lu Liming.

He was aware of Wu Guilan’s family situation and was usually very caring towards her, always trying his best to arrange lighter work for her within her full work points.

Lu Liming looked at Chen Jiao suspiciously, but he was still happy for Wu Guilan.

He nodded repeatedly and said, “Okay, okay, it’s best if you think so, Shen Zhiqing.

Don’t worry, your uncle won’t assign heavy work to your mother in the future. He will assign the same work to your mother as other female comrades do. ”

After Lu Liming finished speaking, he looked at Wu Guilan with satisfaction, “Sister-in-law, your daughter-in-law has grown up. You can finally have some hope in these hard days. Just wait for Zhengxu to come back…”

Lu Liming stopped talking halfway.

Lu Zhengxu has been gone for four years and there has been no news. It’s hard to say whether he can come back!

*

“Dad, Dad…”

As soon as Lu Liming finished speaking, his son Lu Hu ran over while shouting.

“Huzi, what’s wrong? What happened?”

Lu Liming asked quickly.

Lu Hu took two deep breaths, and seeing Wu Guilan was also there, he said breathlessly, “Aunt Guilan, you are here too.

Please go back quickly!

A military vehicle came to our village and headed towards your house. It must be Zhengxu who returned. ”

Lu Hu’s words were like a drop of cold water splashing into a frying pan, instantly causing an uproar in the entire Dajiang Village.

All the members who were working in the fields gathered around.

“Huzi, what kind of military vehicle is it? The one with four wheels, right?”

“Yes! With four wheels, it looks like an iron tortoise, very impressive.”

When everyone heard Lu Hu’s words, they all gasped.

“Oh, to be able to be sent back by the Iron Turtle Cart, Zhengxu must have made it big and become a high-ranking officer in the army.”

“Guilan, your hard days are finally over.

When Zhengxu comes back this time, he will definitely pick you and your daughter up to live a good life with the army! ”

“I have a distant relative who joined the army. She said she had a great life in the army and didn’t have to work.

The troops provide rations, money coupons, and meat coupons every month!

The last time my relative came back, he looked plumper, which shows that he is living a good life. ”

…

Everyone started to congratulate Wu Guilan.

Wu Guilan also responded with a smile on her face.

Lu Lingyang held Lu Yaling’s hand with one hand and tugged at the corner of Wu Guilan’s clothes with the other hand.

A pair of dark grape eyes looked at Chen Jiao as if guarding against thieves, “Grandma, let’s go with Dad to join the army, don’t let bad women go!”

Wu Guilan’s face froze, and she looked at Lu Lingyang sternly, “Yangyang, don’t say that!

This is your biological mother!

And your mother has changed now, so you are not allowed to be rude to her! ”

Lu Lingyang pouted and said dissatisfiedly: “She was always so bad before, and she even wanted to sell me and my sister.

Now that she is better, her father is back.

She must have heard the news that her father was coming back in advance, and was afraid that her father would not take her to enjoy a good life, so she pretended to be nice. ”

Chen Jiao: …

Oh, this little brat, although he is young, he is very smart and his analysis is well-reasoned.

Just as Chen Jiao finished her thought, she met the little guy’s provocative eyes with a hint of arrogance.

Chen Jiao: …

Well, if Lu Zhengxu really becomes a successful officer, she should divorce him quickly!

Anyway, this year is already 76 years old, and the college entrance examination will be resumed next year.

She has collected back the debts owed to her by those two scumbags Chen Haoyu and Zhang Fangfang. She should not have to go to work, and the money and food will be enough for her to eat for a year.

Then she will prepare well for the college entrance examination, and if she passes, she won’t have to worry about having no food to eat. If she waits patiently for a few more years for the market economy to develop, maybe she will be able to make great achievements.

When Chen Jiao thought about this, she felt that the future was full of hope, and she felt a little excited.

In this era, the hardship will only come in the past two years. In a few years, gold will be everywhere. This is much better than the end of the world when people would eat each other for a piece of biscuit!

Chen Jiao didn’t notice Lu Lingyang’s shocked and confused expression.

After all, he is only four years old and his knowledge is limited.

He really didn’t understand what Shen Jiao was thinking about, the college entrance examination and the marketing manager.

But there is one word he understands: divorce!

He knew that as long as the bad woman divorced his father, she would no longer be able to live with them.

Is the bad woman really willing to divorce his father?

Lu Lingyang was a little bit unconvinced.

When Chen Jiao and Wu Guilan arrived home with their two children, they saw a camouflaged military jeep parked in front of their yard from afar.

The people who came along to watch the fun had already surrounded the gate of the courtyard and the military jeep in three layers, making it impossible to get in or out.

It was only after Lu Liming shouted that everyone made way for Chen Jiao and Wu Guilan to enter with their two children.

“Hello, Auntie! Hello, sister-in-law!”

After Chen Jiao and Wu Guilan went in, they did not see Lu Zhengxu.

Instead, a tall and strong soldier in military uniform stood at attention, saluted them and greeted them.

Wu Guilan had never seen such a scene before.

I was so frightened by the military salute from my fellow soldier that I trembled.

Lu Yaling also hid behind her grandmother.

Chen Jiao had a bad feeling in her heart.

If Lu Zhengxu was really promoted and returned safely, the first person they would see when they returned should be Lu Zhengxu.

She calmed down, smiled and walked forward to greet him, “Hello, comrade.

Excuse me, has Zhengxu not come back? ”
