Rebirth of the Military Family 94: Transfer

  The two girls were just about to go out when Zhai Mingquan happened to come over with his son, who was holding a dog.

  Yu Xuan looks at Di Jun's small figure walking a dog, somehow it all seems a bit awkward.

  "Uncle Di..."

  Dai Mingquan walked in with a big smile on his face, leading his son by the hand.

  "Yucai, where's your dad? Your uncle sent a dog over to your house, it can help your dad watch the orchard."

  Geng Mei was very interested in the dog he brought with him. With a dog around, her husband could also take a break.

  "Zhai brothers, sister-in-law, how can I thank you?"

  Dai Mingquan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, why be polite? Bai Dage and I are old friends. By the way, where's my brother? Has he gone up the mountain?"

  Geng Mei nodded, "Have you two eaten yet? If not, let's just have something simple at our place?"

  Dai Junchi shook his head, "Auntie, we've eaten and come back. Where's Haoran? Did he go up the mountain with Uncle too?"

  Although Xiao Zui asked about Bai Haoran's whereabouts, her eyes kept staring at Yueting.

  Geng Mei looked at the little guy with affection and pulled his hand, saying, "Auntie will take you to the orchard to find Uncle and Haoran."

  Dai Mingquan led the dog, while Geng Mei pulled along two children as they exited the door.

  When they arrived at the entrance of Jin De's house, they saw that the new woman was standing at the door with a child, but when she saw Geng Mei and others approaching, she seemed to be afraid of people, shrinking her head and hiding behind the door with the child. As for what the person looked like, Geng Mei didn't see clearly either.

  "Alas, I wanted to say hello to her, why is she still hiding?"

  Dai Mingquan's eyes were sharp and he had caught a glimpse of the other person's appearance just now, which was different from the original one.

  "Sister-in-law, has this neighbor changed wives or something? Why isn't it the original old lady? This one looks a bit younger."

  Geng Mei smiled bitterly, "Of course not, the original one ran away these two days, this one was already in a relationship with someone outside before. As soon as his wife left, he brought her back. I thought we were all neighbors and would get to know each other sooner or later, but I didn't expect him to be so afraid of people. Forget it, let's just leave it alone."

  Yu Shui pulled her hand, "Mom, what's the hurry? Maybe she's not mentally prepared yet. Besides, her current identity is a bit awkward, isn't it? Malan Flower hasn't divorced Jin Decai yet, has she?"

  Haha, don't mention it, it's really none of our business, let's just focus on our own orchard.

  While walking quickly, he found a topic to chat with Yu Xuan. Accompanying the little guy to talk, Yu Xuan didn't feel tired at all. After all, this child seemed more mature in his thoughts than children of the same age nowadays.

  I don't know if it's because of Junchi's mother teaching him well or if this little guy is just smart, but anyway, when talking about anything, the two people can always get along.

  Dai Mingquan walked the dog beside him, secretly pleased. He now had some admiration for his own son, who he hadn't realized was quite capable, able to chat with such a clever little girl.

  When Bai Wengong saw them, he fell in love with the dog led by Di Mingquan at first sight.

  "Wow, Old Jia, this dog you brought isn't ordinary, doesn't look like a regular local dog."

  Dai Mingquan was beaming with joy.

  "Hey, Bai, your eyes are really poisonous! Let me tell you, this is a retired police dog I got from a friend. You'd better take good care of it, and in the future, it'll be useful for guarding. With it around, no one will dare to come near this orchard."

  Bai Wenguang stretched out his big hand and started stroking the dog's head. At first, the dog still had some reaction, but as time went on, it didn't show its teeth or growl anymore, and instead let him stroke it very docilely.

  Bai Haoran looked at him with some delight and joined in, "Dad, why didn't the dog bite you?"

  "Bai Wenli stroked the dog's fur while explaining, 'Hao Ran, don't underestimate it just because it's a dog, it understands human nature. If your Uncle Zhai wasn't here, it wouldn't have let us touch it. Alright, Old Zhai, come with me to walk the dog, or else this guy won't follow me.'"

  The two brothers walked into the depths of the orchard with their dog in tow.

  "Old Bai, I'm about to be transferred to another unit."

  Bai Wengui heard this news and simply nodded his head. "It must be related to your last meritorious service, I guess you should have been promoted this time?"

  Dai Mingquan patted him and laughed happily, "Nothing can be hidden from you, but I don't know much about the situation over there either. I reckon it'll take some time before I can come visit you again. If anything happens in the future, you go find me, my family hasn't moved away."

  Bai Wenli smiled and joked, "That's right, if you move away with your whole family, where would I go to find you? Ah, now that you're being transferred, it won't have any impact on this side of the family, will it?"

  Dai Mingquan shook his head, "It's okay, the Third Battalion is not far away."

  Bai Wen thought about it and felt that if the whole family moved over, they would also have to deal with the problem of adjusting their work arrangements, so he estimated that Zhai Mingquan wouldn't be able to take care of these things for a while.

  "Now this workplace is not too far away, 'brother, you used to do well, I feel that you have development space in the future, you try to be a big official, and when I go out to mention you, it will be twice as face-saving.'"

  Dai Mingquan hooked his arm around Bai Wengu's shoulder, "Brother, I've been working hard to develop in the direction you told me, but the difficulty is a bit high in the future. I'm just a small police station chief, you understand..."

  Bai Wengui held onto the dog and gazed into the distance, "Brother, back when I was so poor, who would have thought there'd be a day like today? So anything is possible."

  Yu Tong and Hao Ran led Junchi to find delicious fruits in the forest while playing.

  "Geng Mei, haven't your family's apples been stolen recently?"

  Lao Lu's wife walked up from one side.

  Geng Mei listened to her tone and estimated that there must be something going on here.

  "Sister-in-law, have you lost your fruit?"

  Old Mrs. Lu sighed, "It's not just our family, the old Li family next door also lost some, and it's unknown who did it. The fruits were all knocked to the ground by them. Alas, this is really harming people! If they wanted to eat two fruits, that would be fine, but the good fruits that were still growing on the tree and hadn't ripened yet were all ruined like this... seeing me makes my heart ache. Tell your family's Old Bai to be careful too, alas, who knows which devil did it..."

  Old Mrs. Lu kept muttering about the situation of these few families.

  "Sister-in-law, it seems that we can't afford to lose anyone on our side. We have to keep a close eye on each other, or else who knows whose turn it will be next."

  Geng Mei was fortunate that their family had not suffered any losses so far, and the lesson from the previous incident was still fresh in their minds. They couldn't afford to be complacent now. Fortunately, Di Mingquan had sent them a guard dog, otherwise it would have been a disaster.

  "Geng Mei, I'm going to tell you something, but you mustn't spread it around."

  After Geng Mei nodded in guarantee, Old Lu's wife revealed a message, "I saw that day that Ma Lianhua left with a man, I felt that there must be something between them, otherwise why would she run away with a man? I said it was because of her feelings, and she had an affair."

  Geng Mei didn't know what to say about Ma Lianhua's situation, the couple neither of them willing to give in, and in the end it was probably their two children at home who suffered.

  "Sister-in-law, I saw Jin Decai bringing a woman back, I reckon in two days you'll be able to see her, and don't even mention that she's better-looking than Ma Lianhua."

  Old Mrs. Lu slapped Ge Mei, "Do you think men are fools? They spend money and find someone who is not as good as their own wife. What are they after? It's just that they like young and beautiful people, sigh, I've seen through it. Women who have been married and had children are not as attractive as those tender and delicate ones."

  Geng Mei covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister-in-law, I love hearing you say that, haha..."

  The old Lu woman couldn't help but burst out laughing after savoring the flavor.

  "But, you know, the men in our two families are a different story. Your husband Bai and my husband Lu are both good men, of course, as women, we should treat them well."

  Two women were joking around without any reserve, and when Yu Ting led the horse out, Geng Mei and the other woman laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

  "Auntie, look, this is a vegetable that sister picked, it's called longevity vegetable, she wants to bring it for grandma to eat."

  Geng Mei gently rubbed the little guy's short hair, "Hmm, you can take this back home and let your mom stir-fry or mix a cold dish with it. It's good for old people's health."

  Lao Lu's wife saw Xiao Jun Chi and couldn't help but take a few more glances with some delight.

  "Geng Mei, where did your family find such a good-looking child? It's really a beautiful child, they're all gathered together, it makes me jealous."

  Geng Mei laughed and patted her, "This is the child of Old White's friend, brought the kid over to play today, don't be envious, your family's kids are pretty good too. If I were to say, your three kids are the most promising, when they grow up they'll all be strong laborers, and when you're old, that's three daughters-in-law serving you, just wait for being a respected elder."

  Speaking of this, Old Lu's wife was not optimistic, "Pull it down, at this age, the mother-in-law is not as popular as before. Who looks at the mother-in-law's face now? I don't look at their faces and that's good enough. Relying on them is no better than relying on our family's Old Lu. The old couple will be a companion in their later years, relying on them is hopeless."

  Yu Sai and Du want to give Mrs. Lu a thumbs up, this woman's thinking is really thorough.

  Just as they were talking, Old Lu found them and said, "I was looking all over for you, old lady. I thought someone had run off with you. It turns out you ran here."

  Geng Mei couldn't help but laugh at this, "Old Lu, you're the only one who still fancies his sister-in-law. Who among young people would still fight over us? At home, it's all about being a mother hen!"

  Lao Lu couldn't help but laugh, "Younger brother and sister, no wonder your sister-in-law loves talking to you. After hearing what you just said, one would forget all their worries."

  Lao Lu has come over to look for someone, and the couple didn't stay here for long either.

  "Hey, Auntie, if Yueting and Haoran are free, can they come over to our place to play? My mom and grandma will make some delicious food for them."

  Geng Mei felt that something was up with this child, and indeed, it turned out to be an invitation for her own child to go over and play. She could understand why the young children were infatuated with each other, but Lao Jia's family only had one precious gem, and they were a bit lonely.
