Chapter 25 Shy
Zhan Zeye's response was to pinch her cheek without further explanation.

Tang Qiyue rubbed her cheek, and was so angry that she wanted to fight back, but she saw Zhan's mother stuffing a package into Zhan Zeye's arms.

“Take it with you and eat it on the way!”

"Write me a letter when you get there!"

"Don't worry about your family, just defend your country!"

……

Every word that Zhan's mother said was heartbreaking. Zhan Zeye responded while carrying his bag. Tang Qiyue, who was standing next to them, was also well-behaved and didn't say a word.

"Take good care of your wife. She is unfamiliar with the place!"

Mother Zhan held Tang Qiyue's hand and said, "Child, when you get there, don't keep everything to yourself. Ask questions if you have any, and order people around when you need to. If this kid doesn't listen to you, send a telegram to me and I'll scold him!"

Tang Qiyue agreed to all of them and could see that her mother-in-law was speaking sincerely for her.

Chen Dazhuang and his men honked their horns to remind them, "Brother Zhan, it's getting late. If we don't leave now, we may not reach our destination tonight!"

Only then did Zhan's mother stop and instruct Zhan Zeye and Tang Qiyue to get in the car quickly.

There was not enough space for so many people in the cab. Except for the driver and Chen Dazhuang who took turns driving in the front, everyone else was in the car.

Zhan Zeye got on the carriage first, leaned over and pulled Tang Qiyue up. There was a stool prepared on it. Zhan Zeye was tall and it was difficult for him to stretch his legs when sitting in the carriage, but he sat on the outside and hung his legs directly outside the car. At least this way it was not uncomfortable.

The car started and disappeared from the sight of Zhan Mu and the others. The people who were watching the excitement in the alley also left one after another, but what happened today was still spread very quickly.

Of course, these things had no impact on Tang Qiuyue and the others, after all, everyone had left.

But Zhan Chunying took her mother's arm and asked a question she had wanted to ask for a long time: "Mom, isn't my brother in the army? But why is he wearing a navy uniform when he comes back this time?"

Zhan's mother slapped her thigh suddenly. She didn't care at the time and just thought it was her son's new military uniform. She only reacted after her daughter reminded her.

Brother Zhan put his hands behind his back and shouted, "Chunying, shut up!"

Zhan's mother also hurriedly poked Zhan Chunying's arm twice: "Don't ask about your brother's affairs!"

Zhan Chunying scratched her head in confusion, but soon forgot about it. Instead, she went into the house and looked through the clothes Tang Qiuyue left for her. She loved every piece of it.

Mother Zhan pulled her eldest son into the house and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Brother Zhan shook his head: "If Xiao Ye didn't say anything, we should just pretend we don't know. It's better to know less about his affairs!"

While the mother and daughter were talking, Zhan's mother saw the pillow placed in the middle of the bed. She subconsciously lifted it up and placed it on the quilt, only to see a cowhide envelope under the pillow.

Zhan's mother was very confused. She opened the leather envelope and saw the money inside. Then she looked at her eldest son.

Brother Zhan also saw the money inside, and there was a note that read: For my mother!
Big Brother Zhan rubbed his face, knowing that Xiaoye didn't take the money he gave to his younger brother after all. He knew that their life at home was tight and he also knew that Xiaoye wouldn't take it, so he just kept it.

"Don't tell your wife about this money. I'm afraid she'll think too much. Her brothers from her mother's side have come to borrow money several times recently!"

Zhan's mother immediately put the money away and warned her eldest son that he might lose his mind and give all the money to his in-laws after his wife cried. Zhan didn't like to talk, but he was never stupid. He knew his wife's character very well and said directly: "This is Xiaoye's filial piety to you, you should keep it. If my brother-in-law wants to borrow money, I have to pay for it!"

Tang Qiyue had no idea what had happened in the Zhan family. She didn't even know that Zhan Zeye had left money for Zhan's mother. At this moment, she was surrounded by four military wives and being stared at.

Among these four military wives, they are the spouses and children of Chen Dazhuang and Hu Peng, and the other two military wives are the wives of two company commanders. They are older and have three or four children sitting around them.

Tang Qiyue really didn't want to deal with strangers, but she also knew that these were the neighbors she would live with in the future, so she had to cheer up and deal with them.

After eating the candies given by Tang Qiyue, the children became very nice to her. If their mother hadn't suppressed them, they would have chattered non-stop.

Zhan Zeye, two other company commanders and Hu Peng sat at the edge of the carriage, looking at the situation outside and talking about things in the army, but their attention was all on the carriage.

Tang Qiyue felt very uncomfortable as she didn't say anything and was being stared at. She saw that some children had finished their candies and wanted to take out some more candies to share with them, but then she saw a soldier's wife with a pale face and her fists clenched tightly.

Tang Qiyue noticed something was wrong and patted Zhan Zeye who was sitting next to her: "Make some room, someone is getting carsick!"

Zhan Zeye glanced at Tang Qiyue, and also saw the military wife with a strange look on her face. Knowing that Tang Qiyue didn't know how to address her, he kicked Captain Wang who was still talking.

"Lao Wang, your wife is carsick, bring your sister-in-law over here to get some fresh air!"

Captain Wang was a rough man. He was so busy talking that he didn't notice that something was wrong with his wife. He didn't get angry even when she was kicked. He moved to his wife's side to check on her and found that she was indeed motion sickness.

This woman has always lived in the countryside. She has only ridden in a donkey cart and never in a car, so it is unexpected that she gets motion sickness.

"Be patient, everyone else is fine, but you are the only one who has so much trouble!"

Captain Wang felt a little embarrassed and spoke unpleasantly. His wife was already feeling uncomfortable and now she also felt embarrassed and dared not move.

Tang Qiyue couldn't bear to watch it. Motion sickness is not something people want to do. As a husband, she didn't take care of him and even complained. It was too much!

Because they were not familiar with each other, Tang Qiyue couldn't stand up for Captain Wang's wife. She could only take out a piece of tangerine peel candy from her bag and hand it to the wife.

"Sister-in-law, this is tangerine peel candy. It should feel better if you put it in your mouth. If you still feel uncomfortable, just go to the side of the carriage and get some fresh air. It will also help a lot!"

Tang Qiuyue stuffed the tangerine peel candy into the hands of Captain Wang's wife and poked Zhan Zeye. Zhan Zeye was not angry, but just retracted his foot, touched Hu Peng and another Captain Huang, and gave up his seat.

"My maiden name is Zhao, and I'm older than you. Don't call me sister-in-law, just call me Sister Zhao!"

Sister Zhao moved to the side of the carriage and enjoyed the breeze for a while. The feeling of motion sickness subsided. She was able to speak with a tangerine peel candy in her mouth. She looked at Tang Qiyue with gratitude and spoke in a low voice.

She didn't dare let Tang Qiyue call her sister-in-law. After all, her man was only a company commander, while Tang Qiyue's man was a battalion commander.

Although Tang Qiyue didn't understand why she was not allowed to call her sister-in-law, she still agreed to what Sister Zhao said.

The other two military wives saw Tang Qiyue talking to Sister Zhao and introduced themselves one after another. Tang Qiyue then realized that the woman with short, neat hair was Hu Peng's wife, Xu Qiuju, the wife of Captain Huang was Sun Maisui, and the wife of Chen Dazhuang was Li Erhong, all of whom were much older than her.

Just as they were talking, the car suddenly jolted and the others were thrown all over the place. Only Tang Qiyue was held in Zhan Zeye's arms and was not affected.

There was nothing wrong at first, but a child suddenly shouted, "Shame on you! Uncle and aunt kissed me!"
