Chapter 79 : Sister-in-law, Someone is Looking for You

Hearing this, Su Ranran was stunned.

“What job?”

Seeing her confused look, the others were also a little surprised.

“Don’t you know yet? The regiment arranges jobs for the wives of soldiers who follow the army.”

But after all, the town is not big, and there are very few suitable positions.

Occasionally, there is one, but you have to be educated to get it. They are mostly illiterate or semi-literate. To put it bluntly, even if the regiment wants to arrange jobs for them, they can’t do it.

After waiting for a long time, there’s a job that can be done, but it’s still in the county.

It is not easy to go back and forth.

Although Su Ranran is an educated youth, she has a real high school education and is the wife of the deputy head of the regiment. It is much easier to arrange a job for her than for them.

Hearing this, Su Ranran suddenly remembered the first day she came to the island, when Shen He asked her if she wanted to go to work.

At that time, her mind was full of rice cultivation, so how could she care about work? She refused casually.

“I know, I didn’t sign up.”

Hearing that she didn’t sign up, several wives were very surprised.

“Why? Then sister Su, are you not going to work?”

After all, it’s a job.

Having a job means having a salary. Who can refuse a salary?

Su Ranran shook her head. “I won’t join in the fun.”

Hearing this, several people’s faces turned a little complicated.

Originally, they were worried that she was well-educated and her husband had a high rank, so she might get a job before them.

But who knew she had never thought about it at all.

With the loss of a strong competitor, several people were relieved.

Only Li Lanru said with some disapproval on her face “Women still need to have a job to be safe.”

Having a job is equivalent to having someone to rely on. This is her deepest experience since she started working.

Before she had a job, she could only rely on her man’s support to live cautiously. She didn’t dare to speak loudly or talk back, for fear that he would stop giving her household expenses if he was unhappy.

But since she got a job, everything has changed. She has a salary, and she’s not afraid even if he doesn’t give her household expenses.

Thinking of the shock on his face when she talked back to him for the first time, Li Lanru felt very happy.

Hearing Li Lanru’s words, the hearts of the military wives who had just relaxed were lifted again.

They were afraid that Su Ranran would change her mind after hearing her words.

Just after thinking this, they saw Su Ranran say with a look of approval “Women really need to have a job.”

Upon hearing this, several military wives couldn’t help but secretly glare at Li Lanru.

Li Lanru just couldn’t keep her words to herself, and now she was glared at by them, feeling a little embarrassed.

When she was about to make up for it, she heard Su Ranran say “I’m not in a good condition right now, and there’s something fussy in my stomach. I won’t consider the work for the time being, let the sisters-in-law sign up.”

Hearing that she really didn’t want to go to work, several people were completely relieved.

When they realized that Su Ranran was pregnant, they congratulated her one by one.

“It’s a little uncomfortable in the early months, but it won’t be so uncomfortable after three or four months.”

While saying this, they shared their pregnancy experience with her.

People of this era basically have children one after another, and every family has several kids. When it comes to experience, they are all very knowledgeable.

Although Su Ranran also reads parenting books, no matter how many books she reads, it is not as profound as other people’s personal experience.

Therefore, she listened with great interest.

Seeing that she was listening seriously, several people became more and more excited, wishing to teach her everything they knew.

I don’t know how long it passed, until the familiar sound of footsteps came from the gate. Su Ranran realized it was Shen He returning from the military camp.

The others also saw Shen He and stopped talking one by one.

“Ranran, then we’ll go back first. If you don’t understand, feel free to ask us.”

After the conversation, Su Ranran had successfully changed from “Su’s sister-in-law” to “Ranran.”

Several people said their goodbyes warmly, and to anyone who didn’t know them, it would seem like they were old, close friends.

“Then thank you, sisters-in-law.”

Su Ranran didn’t know whether she was shy or something, but she couldn’t dare look at Shen He who had entered the yard. She pretended to be calm on the outside while sending off the military wives.

Even without turning around, she could still feel the man’s burning gaze.

Once the group left, the yard returned to peace again.

Su Ranran looked back and noticed that Shen He had not gone anywhere. Thinking he might have gone to read again, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

But she didn’t plan to disturb him.

After a pause, Su Ranran went to the kitchen to make lunch.

But as soon as she entered the door, she saw Shen He preparing rice to cook. Looking at his serious back, the disappointment in her heart vanished, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

On the table were the dishes he had just brought home.

There were tofu sticks, kelp, fish, and shrimp, which were all unique foods from the island.

Seafood isn’t worth much here, and it’s not as pleasing as two leaves of vegetables.

When Su Ranran was about to start dealing with the dishes on the table, Shen He stopped her.

“Let me do it.”

When she looked up, she met the man’s incredibly soft eyes.

Just like what she saw when she woke up in a daze this morning.

Su Ranran felt a little helpless. “It’s just cooking, it’s not tiring.”

But Shen He didn’t seem too relieved.

Especially after last night’s loss of control, he had been worried all morning.

Rubbing her little head, he said, “Today, you try my cooking skills.”

Hearing this, Su Ranran looked at him with some suspicion, a little unbelieving.

Shen He smiled slightly and didn’t say much. He started to cook seriously.

This was the first time Su Ranran had seen him cook.

In the past, it was rare for the men in the Shen family to cook.

She watched his slender hands slowly open the fish’s belly. Although his movements seemed slow, in a short while, the fish in the basin was cleaned.

It was a real pleasure to watch him handle the fish.

Although he didn’t look particularly skilled in the kitchen, he didn’t seem like a kitchen disaster either.

Su Ranran was fascinated by him while lighting the fire.

A man who can cook is really irresistible.

His gentle and restrained look from last night flashed through her mind, and Su Ranran suddenly felt her face get hot.

Seeing her blushing, Shen He thought it was too hot, so he pointed to the stool next to him and said, “Wait there.”

Su Ranran: …

Before she could say no, a soldier’s voice suddenly came from the door.

“Sister-in-law, someone is looking for you outside the gate.”
