Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 359 Making Dumplings

As Wu Caiyun spoke, she craned her neck to peer into the room behind Zhao Zhaodi.

Her curious gaze seemed to want to pierce through the door and peek inside.

"Sister Wu, please come in and have a seat. I'll tidy up and come downstairs right away."

With a warm smile on her face, Zhao Zhaodi quickly opened the door and stepped aside to let Wu Caiyun into the house.

Zhao Zhaodi picked up the kettle on the table and quickly brewed a cup of steaming hot, fragrant tea, which she then gently placed in front of Wu Caiyun.

"Sister Wu, please have some tea. My place is rather simple."

“We’re all the same. I heard from Battalion Commander Chen that you’ve always lived in Beijing, so you must be having some trouble adjusting to life here.”

Sister Wu took the tea, took a sip, and then said.

"Fortunately."

As she spoke, Zhao Zhaodi picked up a comb and quickly combed her slightly messy hair, then said...

"Sister Chen, please sit for a moment. I'll go wash up and come right away."

"Well, you go."

Sister Wu said.

Zhao Zhaodi picked up the basin and toiletries, went to the kitchen to wash up, quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth, then returned to her room and hung the towel to dry.

Finally, she walked quickly to the dining table, sat down, and began to enjoy the sumptuous breakfast that Chen Runping had prepared for her.

Watching Zhao Zhaodi busily working in an orderly manner, Wu Caiyun couldn't help but sigh:

"Zhao Di, this Battalion Commander Chen is such a good man who loves his wife!"

Look at you, sleeping until now before getting up, while he had already taken care of everything for you long ago.

Oh dear, you young people are so lucky!

Unlike us military wives, who have to get out of bed before dawn every day as soon as we hear the reveille.

First, she had to prepare breakfast for her husband and children. After they finished eating and left, she had to rush to the military camp's market to buy groceries.

After buying groceries and returning home, a whole host of housework awaits: washing clothes, cleaning—nothing can be skipped.

Moreover, transportation here is not very convenient, so we often have to grow our own vegetables to ensure that our family has fresh vegetables to eat.

Only in the afternoon can I rest for a little while, but soon I have to start preparing dinner again.

Wu Caiyun picked up her teacup, took a sip, and continued to talk at length about her daily life as a military wife.

As Zhao Zhaodi listened to Wu Caiyun's story, she maintained a smile throughout, occasionally nodding in agreement to show her understanding and agreement.

But she didn't say much, perhaps because she was immersed in the happiness of being cared for.

After finishing breakfast in Kuasu, Zhao Zhaodi hurriedly followed Wu Caiyun downstairs.

They arrived at a room on the first floor. Wu Caiyun gently pushed open the door and smiled at Zhao Zhaodi, saying:

"This is my home! In this building, mine is a bit more spacious, so whenever a new military spouse moves in, they always come here to get together."

As she spoke, she warmly welcomed Zhao Zhaodi into the house.

Upon entering the room, Zhao Zhaodi discovered that it was a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. Moreover, there was a small, exquisite courtyard outside, which made her feel exceptionally warm and cozy.

At this moment, four military wives had gathered in the room, one of whom was holding an adorable baby who looked to be only a few months old.

When Zhao Zhaodi entered, everyone greeted her with smiles, and Zhao Zhaodi politely nodded in response to everyone's greetings.

Following that, Wu Caiyun introduced everyone one by one, allowing them to get to know each other more quickly.

Before long, everyone was sitting around the dining table, ready to make dumplings together.

Although Chen Runping never lets Zhao Zhaodi step into the kitchen at home, cooking is a basic skill for Zhao Zhaodi as an international student.

So, without hesitation, she washed her hands and joined in making dumplings.

At first, Zhao Zhaodi was a little shy and hesitant, but fortunately, Wu Caiyun was very good at adjusting the atmosphere, and it didn't take long for the whole scene to become relaxed and pleasant.

While making dumplings, everyone chatted casually about life in the camp and various rules and regulations, as if they were having a casual conversation.

The children were laughing and playing nearby, their clear, bell-like laughter filling the room with life and energy.

Not long after arriving here, Zhao Zhaodi quickly adapted to and integrated into the current environment and atmosphere.

Everyone was curious about her student life in the United States and started asking her questions.

Zhao Zhaodi, on the other hand, was very warm and friendly, patiently answering every question asked by everyone and sharing her experiences and observations without reservation, thus resolving many of the mysteries in the hearts of those present.

At this moment, Wu Caiyun, who was skillfully kneading dough on the side, chimed in:

"Actually, there are quite a few couples like you and Battalion Commander Chen who are separated by distance and rarely see each other!"

In most cases, they only come back once or twice a year.

Normally, it's just the six of us women with our children living together in this building.

What a coincidence! Another military wife recently went back to her parents' home to visit them, so you probably won't be able to meet this time.

As for my husband and his wife, they are very busy during the day and don't have much time to spend with us.

Our days are incredibly monotonous and dull; it's nothing more than the same routine of taking care of the family and looking after the children.

"But thankfully, family members like you come to visit from time to time, which gives us more opportunities to learn about the interesting things happening in the outside world."

Everyone nodded in agreement, continuing to quickly wrap dumplings while chatting about all sorts of things.

Somehow, the conversation gradually turned to their children and husbands.

After all, for these women, talking about their men and children is perfectly natural, and once they start talking, they often can't stop...

"Oh dear, my little rascal is such a troublemaker! He's practically climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles if I don't discipline him for three days straight."

Look at how wonderful other people's daughters are! Just like yours, so quiet and considerate. I'm so envious!

The speaker was Xu Hui, who shook her head helplessly, looking like she had no way to deal with her son.

The other person smiled and comforted them:

"What boy isn't mischievous? As the saying goes, mischievous children are often smarter!"

"Look at your son, he's such a clever little devil, and he's even become the leader of this group of kids!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.

at this time,
