Chapter 31

Qiao Xifeng was overjoyed that the two nosy aunts were going to visit Qiao Baozhu.

Turning around, he smiled at Zhao Haiyang: “Haiyang, I want to accompany my eldest and second aunts to visit Sister Sanya.”

Zhao Haiyang nodded gently: “Okay, then you guys come back early.”

Qiao Xifeng turned around and followed her two aunts towards the family compound. The three of them soon arrived at the gate of the compound.

“Hey, why is there someone standing guard at the door?”

When Qiao Dagui saw the majestic soldiers at the gate, she was so scared that she shrank her head and dared not move forward.

Qiao Ergui was extremely upset at this time. She was only thinking about the 500 yuan betrothal gift in the third brother’s pocket and never expected that she couldn’t even get in the door.

Qiao Xifeng looked at the two aunts who looked like they had never seen the world and felt extremely disgusted.

She left the two bumpkins behind and walked to the gate of the family compound. She said to the young soldier at the gate, “I want to go to family compound No. 28.”

The young soldier had good eyesight and could see the three of them from a distance.

There’s no way, these three people are too eye-catching together.

The young woman was like a proud rooster, with her neck raised and her chin up, looking at people with her nose. If you didn’t know, you would think she was the daughter of some big leader.

The two old ladies who were with her were standing across the street, staring at the gate with shifty eyes and whispering to each other.

The young soldier guessed that the two old ladies must have come to the family compound for the first time. He had never seen a soldier standing guard before, and he was so blatant.

“Hey, I said I was going to family room number 28. Didn’t you hear me?”

Qiao Xifeng had lived in the staff housing compound for several years and recognized the young soldier standing guard at the door at a glance.

The sense of superiority that came from being a superior person came out again.

The young soldier glanced at her and said, “Hello comrade, please show me your ID.”

The little soldier’s official manner made Qiao Xifeng laugh.

“Show your ID? What ID? I didn’t see what ID others showed when they wanted to go in.”

“I am Shen Xiao’s family member. Shen Xiao knows that he is the youngest battalion commander in your regiment.”

The young soldier’s eyes flashed. The day before yesterday, Captain Shen had instructed that all civilians who came to see him should be allowed to pass. He knew that Captain Shen got married yesterday, and he estimated that there would be no shortage of guests in the next two days.

However, the domineering woman in front of him didn’t seem to be from the same family as the six majestic wedding cars that accompanied the wedding yesterday.

I couldn’t help but ask again to confirm: “What is your relationship with Captain Shen?”

Qiao Xifeng raised her head, looking proud: “I am Shen Xiao’s relative?”

When they heard Qiao Xifeng say that she was a military dependent, Qiao Dagui and Qiao Ergui ran over in surprise and surrounded Qiao Xifeng, chattering non-stop.

“What? You are also considered Captain Shen’s family member?”

“Sister-in-law is also considered a family member.”

“If that’s the case, then we are also the battalion commander’s family members.”

“That’s right, hehe, we are also relatives of high-ranking officials.”

The two old ladies looked so excited that Qiao Xifeng blushed and regretted following these two idiots.

“Comrade, I’m Shen Xiao’s sister-in-law. I’m not a bad person. Please let us in.”

There was a hole on the ground at this moment, and Qiao Xifeng really wanted to crawl into it. She had no time to show off to the young soldier at the gate. She just wanted to get in quickly.

“Yes, yes, yes, I am the aunt of Captain Shen’s new daughter-in-law.”

“I am the second aunt, young comrade, we are really the family members of Captain Shen, please let us in.”

The young soldier had been at the gate for more than a year and had seen all kinds of weird scenes. He was sure that the three people were not dangerous and let them in.

As soon as they entered the family compound, Qiao Xifeng’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. Because the two sisters, Qiao Dagui and Qiao Ergui, had been exclaiming and sighing since they entered the family compound.

“It’s worthy of being a family compound. Look how flat the ground is.”

“These small courtyards are so beautifully maintained. The houses are all built exactly the same, and my god, the courtyards are all the same size.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, there’s a big elm tree in this yard. When the spring comes, the money from the elm tree will make a man die.”

Qiao Xifeng’s eyes rolled up to the sky. She really couldn’t understand why these two country bumpkins praised the family compound of a corps regiment to the sky, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

With Qiao Xifeng as their guide, the two sisters of the Qiao family quickly found their brother.

At this time, Qiao Changhai had just finished painting the first layer of white lime and was sitting in the yard drinking tea and chatting with Qiao Baozhu.

Hearing the familiar laughter coming from outside the fenced yard, Qiao Changhai frowned.

“This duck-voiced laugh sounds like your second aunt.”

Qiao Baozhu was stunned: “Second aunt? How does she know where my home is?”

Qiao Changhai snorted coldly: “She’s just asking around. What about the 500 yuan betrothal gift? Who wouldn’t be jealous?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Ergui had already walked to the gate of the fence and waved at the father and daughter in the yard.

“Third brother, you really live here.”

“Xifeng is quite amazing. She found the right place the first time she came.”

After Qiao Ergui finished speaking, Qiao Baozhu saw Qiao Xifeng’s meaningful face.

It turned out that she was here…

Qiao Baozhu just found it funny. Qiao Xifeng hated her so much that she couldn’t wait to come to watch the fun on the second day of her wedding.

Unfortunately, Qiao Baozhu guessed the three people’s wishful thinking.

The three of them were destined to return empty-handed.

“Why is Xifeng here too?”

When Qiao Changhai saw Qiao Xifeng coming to his house, he lost his composure.

“Are there any aunts like you? The child is ignorant, and you are also ignorant, right? How can you go to your parents’ home to visit on the second day after your wedding? If you tell others about it, people will laugh at you.”

Qiao Dagui and Qiao Ergui had already expected that Qiao Changhai would be angry, and the two sisters looked at each other.

Qiao Ergui said in a nonchalant tone, laughing at Qiao Changhai: “It’s a new era now, who still cares about the old rules?”

“Besides, Third Brother, you are still scolding me. Where did you hide when your daughter went out yesterday?”

Qiao Dagui agreed with her sister and explained as she walked into the yard.

“Yesterday, Sanya’s brother-in-law didn’t come to pick up the bride, and we didn’t see you. You guys made such a mess of a wedding that I couldn’t sleep all night. How could I feel at ease if you didn’t come to see me?”

On their way here, the two sisters had already thought of a reason to come uninvited. Under the banner of caring about the third room, no one could find fault with it.

Qiao Changhai looked at his sisters, a sneer appeared on his lips. They were sisters born from the same mother, how could he not know what kind of people they were?

“Now that you can see that I’m not dead, are you relieved?”

“When the new son-in-law comes home, let Baozhu take him to your house to introduce him to the family. You should leave quickly and don’t let the neighbors see you. It would be bad if there was a misunderstanding.”

As soon as the Qiao sisters arrived, they were mocked by their brothers for trying to climb up the social ladder and their faces turned red with embarrassment.

Unfortunately, Qiao Xifeng has lived two lifetimes but still doesn’t understand the ways of the world.

A pair of eyes, clear and stupid, asked Qiao Changhai foolishly.

“What could be the misunderstanding?”
