The next morning …
Mi Xaing 'er finished packing and turned to Yun Jingting. "Tiger, I want to go shopping. We came out in a hurry this time, so Mom and I didn't bring any change of clothes!"
Yun Jingting nodded. "Go ahead then. It's a pity that my leg isn't good. Otherwise, I'd accompany you. I'll tell the bus driver to send you there!"
That was good too.
Mi Xaing 'er didn't refuse. After all, she wasn't very familiar with the roads in the city yet.
Yun Laohu turned around to make a call.
Mi Xaing 'er left the room. The living room on the first floor was quiet. Shen Xiaofeng and Yun Mocheng had already gone to work. Yun Jingqi was sitting in the dining room eating porridge. When she heard some noise, she looked up happily. "Xiang' er, did you sleep well last night? Are you used to living here?"
She got up and scooped some porridge for her. "What are you going to do today? I took a day off, so I can accompany you to go shopping. I was thinking that since you're new here, it'll be more convenient for you to have a guide to familiarize yourself with the environment!"
Mi Xaing 'er was grateful for her thoughtfulness. "Sister, thank you. You're so thoughtful. I'm just about to go shopping!"
Yun Jingqi was a straightforward person. She clapped her hands and said, "Then it's settled! Let's go after eating porridge!"
Just as she finished speaking, Jiang Yumei came in. "Jingqi, sorry to bother you. Liu Hongxia is at the entrance. She wants to see you!"
Yun Jingqi had to treat her politely since the "little star" in the military was here. "Hurry up and invite her in!"
Jiang Yumei turned around and went out. After a while, Liu Hongxia followed behind her and the two of them entered the dining room together.
Today, Liu Hongxia was wearing a small floral dress with a thin black belt around her waist and a pair of black leather shoes. Her outfit and temperament were different from ordinary people. At first glance, one could tell that she was a "literary and artistic worker".
As soon as she saw Yun Jingqi, she immediately greeted her warmly. "Second Sister, you're home too? I thought you went to work."
Yun Jingqi stood up to welcome her. "I took a day off today and wanted to accompany Xiao Mi to take a look at the red clouds. How did you have time to come? You're a big star in our military region. It's an honor to have you here!"
Liu Hongxia smiled embarrassedly. "Second Sister, you're making fun of me again."
She was also a smart person. When she saw that Yun Jingqi deliberately stayed at home to accompany this "little sister-in-law", it could be seen that her status was very "stable".
She immediately turned to Mi Xaing 'er thoughtfully. "Third Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet."
Since she was being polite, Mi Xaing 'er had no reason to be arrogant. She nodded graciously. "Yes. Have you eaten? Why don't you have a bowl of porridge too?"
Liu Hongxia waved her hand. "I specially came here today. When I went home last night, I thought about it. Who is Third Brother? He's the one in our courtyard!"
She gave a thumbs up. "How can I just let Jiang Tingting pass on the invitation to invite you to my birthday party? I have to come personally. That's the only way to show my sincerity!"
She turned to Yun Jingqi. "Second Sister, you should come too. We're all acquaintances in the military region's courtyard. Let's all have fun together!"
Yun Jingqi smiled politely. "I won't be going. You're all young people!"
"You're not old either!"
Yun Jingqi sighed softly. "I'm old. My heart is old!"
Then she turned to Mi Xaing 'er. "You can go with Tiger. It's good to get to know more people!"
How could Mi Xaing 'er make a decision on this matter?
She didn't know the other party!
She hurriedly declined. "Let Tiger make the decision. Yes, wait for a while. I'll go look for him!"
She quickly went back to the room and told Yun Jingqi about this matter. "He specially came to invite you. What do you think we should do?"
Yun Jingting pondered for a moment. "Xiang 'er, I don't like to socialize at all. When I heard about this matter yesterday, I thought that it wouldn't be a bad idea to use this opportunity to introduce you to everyone. But then I thought about it. Why should I, Yun Laohu's wife, announce it openly and openly? Why should I use someone else's occasion to do it? So I won't go!"
She paused and asked Mi Xaing 'er in a gentle tone. "What do you think? It's not that I don't want to introduce you to everyone, but I have to give you a grand entrance!"
Entrance!
Mi Xaing 'er laughed. "Do you think this is an opera?"
She shrugged nonchalantly. "You know that I don't care about these formalities at all. I just want to live a carefree life. I don't intend to put on a show for others!"
Of course, Yun Jingting understood his wife. He stood up with the help of his walking stick. "Then it's settled. Since Liu Hongxia is here, I'll go and greet her. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen her for many years!"
The two of them entered the dining room together and found a seat. Liu Hongxia quickly came over and chatted enthusiastically. They had grown up together, so they spoke more casually. "Third Brother, I heard that you've performed meritorious deeds again. This time, you're back to participate in the military commendation ceremony. You're really good! You've been performing meritorious deeds nonstop! Even my father praises you for being a tiger father!"
Yun Laohu was indifferent. He didn't care much about these awards and commendations. He deftly changed the topic. "Hongxia, it's your birthday today. Little birthday girl, you're twenty-three!"
"Yes, I'm twenty-three!" Liu Hongxia answered clearly. "Third Brother, I specially came to invite you. Since you're back, you should meet many of your old friends. Also, I'll introduce Third Sister-in-law to them!"
Also …
Yun Laohu just didn't want to bring her along.
In his heart, his wife's position had to be first.
He shook his head and smiled. "My leg is injured now, so it's not convenient for me to go out. Mi Xaing 'er has to stay at home to take care of me. She's also quite busy. Let's forget about it this time. When we're free next time, your Third Sister-in-law and I will definitely treat everyone to a proper meal!"
After speaking, he held Mi Xaing 'er's hand and looked at her gently. In that era, even couples rarely held hands in public. Moreover, Yun Jingting was a person who never revealed his feelings.
Just from this action and the look in his eyes, Liu Hongxia immediately understood that this Third Sister-in-law was Yun Laohu's favorite. He was prepared to grandly introduce his wife to everyone. Her birthday banquet was not of a high enough level.
She was also a smart person, so she didn't try to persuade him anymore. "Alright then, Third Brother. It's settled then. I'll be waiting for you and Third Sister-in-law to treat us to a meal!"
She stood up and turned to Yun Jingqi. "Second Sister, you're going to go shopping, right? Do you need me to drive you?"
Yun Jingqi raised her eyebrows. "Oh, you even know how to drive yourself!"
"Yes, I'm new. I borrowed a car from someone!"
Before Yun Jingqi could reply, Yun Laohu spoke first. "Hongxia, you're the new chauffeur. It's not that I don't trust you, but it's better if you don't drag my wife everywhere. I'm a little worried!"
These words …
Liu Hongxia covered her mouth and laughed. "Third Brother, your wife is a treasure. You're worried about her no matter who she is, right?"
She waved her hand playfully and turned to leave the Yun residence.
After Mi Xaing 'er finished breakfast, she tidied up and set off with Yun Jingqi to go shopping.
The two of them were not in a hurry. They walked around and strolled around.
Mi Xaing 'er first bought some clothes to change into and daily necessities. Then, she thought of buying a set of casual clothes for Yun Laohu. It would be more convenient for them to go out. Thus, she strolled to the men's clothing section. Just as she was picking out pants with Yun Jingqi, she suddenly heard someone cough behind her.
She turned her head to take a look.
Ni Dahai was standing in front of her with a smile on his face.
The two of them almost said in unison, "Why are you here?"
Ni Dahai scratched his head awkwardly. "I saw you from afar just now. After hesitating for a long time, I decided to come over to confirm. You've moved into the city and are following the army!"
After hesitating for a long time …
These words were not spoken blindly!
He had seen Mi Xaing 'er on the first floor of the shopping mall. He had wanted to come over to greet her, but when he remembered that she was already married, he hesitated!
He turned around and left!
He was still a little reluctant. He was afraid that Mi Xaing 'er would move out of Siyuan Village with the army. Without an exact address in the future, he would never be able to see her again.
He hesitated and followed her around half the shopping mall. In the end, he could not resist and came over.
Mi Xaing 'er was also a little surprised to see him. "Last time, you said that you were going to go back to the city to study. Why did you move back?"
Ni Dahai smiled awkwardly. "I'm not going to study. I fought with my old man for three days. I didn't eat or drink. Finally, I won. Tell me, what's the use of studying so many stupid books? It's better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. In short, I'm going back to the city to work!"
"Oh, you found a job?"
"I found one. I'm temporarily working as a temporary worker in the Bureau of Commerce. I'll see if I have a chance to be promoted to a permanent position!"
Ni Dahai and Yun Jingqi could be considered to have met once. He smiled politely as a greeting.
The three of them were chatting softly.
Suddenly, someone covered Mi Xaing 'er's eyes from behind. Her voice was sweet and crisp. "Xiang, guess who I am!"
