Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 8
“Big Sis Qiu, since you said it like that, then I’ll fight. But my elder brother said that we can’t take someone else’s thing for no reason, so whether we win or lose, we’ll split half of it, right?” Xu Bao said in a serious tone.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” He wasn’t greedy for cheap things. The teachers and wives liked her for doing this. It was a good way to put it, and a generous way to do it.
The other three people were disdainful. If the teacher and his wife wanted to give it to you, they would think highly of you. They did not treat Xu Bao as a dish, and for the sake of their teacher’s wife, they played along.
Xu Bao went up. Xu Bao was not very familiar with the first match, and even his playing style still required the teacher and his wife to teach him. Just like this, a slow game, unexpectedly won.
The colonel’s wife was very happy.
Zhuang Meimei did not dare to laugh at her teacher’s wife, but she dared to laugh at Xu Bao. “I’ve often heard that people are idiotic when they are in Shanghai. I just learned how to play mahjong, and you’re already on good terms with me!”
Xu Bao smiled and didn’t reply. His wife’s expression was ugly. She was the one who was teaching him just now. Could it be that she was calling him an idiot? What was so special about him going to Shanghai?
Mrs. Zhuang saw that her daughter’s words made her unhappy, so she coughed and tried to smooth things over. “Continue.”
In the second round, Xu Bao was still in a dilemma. The head teacher and his wife anxiously tried to help him with his cards, but he actually managed to make it in time and ended it with a double flip! The teacher and his wife were so happy that they even started to laugh.
Xu Bao was in charge of playing cards in the third round, so he let his wife play. Some of the other teachers and wives also shouted that they wanted to play, but Xu Bao didn’t stop them. He just smiled and let her play.
The other three lost their cool and wanted to give up the fight, but this Madame Wu was only the wife of a Battalion Commander, so a new round began.
Sometimes, he would make some obvious mistakes, allowing Big Sis Qiu to correct him. This match lasted for a long time, but the result made the other three people cough up blood. To think that they were the same color, turning it over and over …
Again, the few of them searched their bags for money, but found that they didn’t have enough … Ye Zichen apologised awkwardly and said that he had matters to attend to at home, so he decided to come back next time …
The head teacher and his wife walked to the door with a big smile on their faces. It was rare for them to receive such treatment after playing mahjong so many times.
Zhuang Meimei looked at the woman standing beside the wife of her teacher with a more depressed expression. She looked at her smile and found it annoying, causing her to be at a loss for words.
“Sister, you’re really big sister’s lucky star. Let’s have dinner together tonight.” Qiu Zhu was in a good mood and insisted on having Xu Bao stay for dinner.
Xu Bao frowned and asked, “Big Sis Qiu, you still want a steak?” Not enough to eat … “Your family rules are strict, each person only needs a piece of meat. It’s better if I go back to eat …”
“Look at what you’re saying, you silly girl. He can’t even plead for a meal at my house, yet you actually think my house has no meat …” “Whatever, I’ll send an orderly to your house to say hello. You can stay for dinner tonight.” Qiu Zhu was in a good mood and decided on her own.
He cleaned up the mahjong table and won quite a bit of money. In addition to what the teachers and wives just lost, there was also what the three of them had brought, which added up to a hundred yuan. At that time, the best soldiers were given six yuan a month, which was something the entire country envied. But to see that any random mahjong would have nearly a hundred dollars to go in and out, it really was that corruption.
Qiu Lingzhu did not act pretentiously. She packed up the money and handed it to Xu Bao.
Xu Bao looked at the pile of money and said with a worried expression, “Big Sis Qiu, forget it. My big brother wants to know if I bet any money, and he wants to scold me to death when we get back. I came over to play quite happily, and even ate your food. I don’t want the money anymore.”
“How can that be? We agreed that each of us will split it into half.” Qiu Lingzhu came from the countryside. Although she loved money, she would not be greedy for it. It was someone else’s money. After all, her husband was a teacher, so he didn’t need to be greedy for this small amount of money.
Xu Bao was sitting in front of a pile of money. After thinking for a while, he said, “No way, Big Sis Qiu. If I earn more money from a game of mahjong than my elder brother earned in a month, he’ll be unhappy …”
Hearing this reason, the teacher and his wife thought it was true. As a man, he definitely didn’t want women to earn more than him.
However, hearing Xu Bao talk about my big brother, Qiu Lingzhu smiled and said, “You two are so funny. You didn’t call him master, and instead called him big brother.”
“I don’t understand either. Big bro said that you guys don’t like calling people ‘husband’ or ‘husband’. Just call them ‘big bro’. I think his subordinates also call them ‘big bro’.” Xu Bao acted as if he didn’t know what was going on and decided not to think about it.
“Forget it, Big Sis Qiu. I don’t want the money, but I like guns. How about you give me a gun? How impressive!” It can also be used against bandits. ” Xu Bao said with a look of yearning.
Qiu Lingzhu heard this idea. In any case, she didn’t have anything else in the division and had a lot of firearms. She saw with her own eyes that all the firearms in the warehouse were stored there.
As the two chatted, the head teacher’s wife suddenly thought of something and asked, “Oh right, what did you do to the Sweet Bean you brought with you last time? “It’s quite delicious.”
When he saw that bag of sweet beans on the table at home, he originally did not eat that kind of thing. However, the wrapper seemed quite familiar, as if he had seen it when he was young. When Master Liu took one out and took a bite, it made a crisp sound, and he thought of how his grandpa had always given him this kind of thing when he was young.
When the colonel’s wife arrived, Colonel Liu’s eyes were bloodshot as he held her hand. “Pearl, it’s been hard on you for so many years …”
The two of them suddenly had a good relationship and didn’t talk much during the day. The main reason was because the position of the teachers was getting higher and higher, and the common language between them was getting fewer and fewer. The two of them reminisced about the past for the first time that day, and after that, the more times the teachers came back to eat, the less complaints from the teachers and wives.
He grew to like Xu Bao more and more. He thought that she was his lucky star, so today he wanted her to stay for a meal to introduce her to his husband. She wanted to take Xu Baogan as her younger sister.
“That bean was brought by my old home. I don’t know if you like it, so I brought you a bag since I thought it was delicious. If you like it, I’ll bring you another bag next time.” Xu Bao said indifferently.
When Master Liu returned in the evening, Xu Bao saw a tall and sturdy man wearing a military uniform with a serious expression. She followed behind Big Sis Qiu, feeling inexplicably nervous, and when Master Liu turned to greet her, she saluted him like a soldier, “The Second Battalion Commander of the Sixth Regiment, Xu Bao, reported this.”
This caused the usually serious teacher to laugh out loud. Where did this girl come from? No wonder his wife was in a good mood these days. She suddenly became younger and less talkative. So it was because of this little girl. This was also good. She didn’t need to complain about gossip with the other wives of the captains all day long.
“Alright.” Master Liu also gave Xu Bao a salute.
Xu Baole said to his wife at dinner time, “Big sis Qiu, the teacher looks like the general in the painting. I have to go back tonight and tell my big brother that I’ve paid my respects to the teacher, and he even returned it.”
Well, I’m glad you’re here. I’m not as good as you in terms of rank. Who wouldn’t want their husband to get promoted?
Furthermore, although Xu Bao was whispering to his teacher’s wife, Master Liu was in a good mood. He thought to himself, “Which Battalion Commander actually married such a cute girl, and has good taste?”
After the meal, Senior Liu concluded, “Come over and play with your big sister when you have time. Next time when you come, call your big brother over as well.”
When Xu Bao saw that his teacher was talking to him, he stood up excitedly and saluted, making his teacher and his wife happy.
Wu Anguo always felt uneasy in the camp at night. Although he usually didn’t have anything to do with that little girl, if she wasn’t here, he would feel empty and uncomfortable. He had already been distracted several times.
“Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander?” Only after Song Yi Han called out twice did Wu Anguo come back to his senses. He laughed awkwardly, “Yihan, you can call me An Guo in private from now on. Who knows, our positions in the future might be even higher.”
“Hehe, Brother Wu is feeling uneasy. Is the beauty not by your side? If you want, then just go and fetch her.” Song Yihan smiled faintly.
“No need, that little girl, why would I miss her? I was worried that she would cause trouble, you know, she’s silly and didn’t hide anything from me.” Wu Anguo said against his own will.
Xu Bao had been delivered directly by his teachers. Wu Anguo was just saying something bad about his wife when he heard the car horn outside. He was so excited that he was the first to rush out.
“Big brother, I’m back.” Xu Bao also felt that he had left for a long time. As soon as he got off the car, he skipped over to his husband and gave him a bear hug.
Song Yi Han was also elated for a moment, but he still wore a smile on his face, but it was a stiff smile.
Wu Anguo didn’t think that this little girl would jump over in front of everyone. He felt a bit embarrassed, but it was also very enjoyable.
When Wu Anguo saw that the license plate was actually his teacher’s car, he felt incredulous. What happened next was even more incredulous. Last time he came to pick Xu Bao up, Liu Qingmei and two soldiers carried a large box in.
Then he saluted and left without saying a word.
Wu Anguo was a little curious. What was that thing? Xu Bao thought for a moment and said, “I won the money for Big Sis Qiu to play mahjong, she gave me a present.”
When Wu Anguo heard it was a gift, he didn’t have the nerve to ask anymore. He just didn’t know what was so heavy that he had to carry both of them.
Afterwards, Wu Anguo felt much more at ease, and he continued to convene the three capable generals to discuss the plan to hijack the weapons three days later.
Usually, Xu Bao would also stay by the side and listen obediently. Sometimes he would sit upright, sometimes he would get tired of leaning on Wu Anguo, because now that there were so many people in the Second Battalion, Wu Anguo was already very sensitive. This was not just a simple battle, maybe the leader of the village was not satisfied with his current army, so he would use a borrowed knife to kill someone, thus he would use the excuse of mahjong every night.
Everything was in place now, except the lack of guns and ammunition. A single gun was enough to take down a whole battalion.
Where could they get a gun? At this time, even if he had the money, he probably wouldn’t be able to buy it …
