The military master pledged his life to the country, and the military wife pledged her life to him.

Hearing this, Sang Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "Do you know how to translate?"

Lin Xi nodded and said, "I also want to work part-time as a translator."

"Really?"

Sang Xiao was delighted.

“Let me recommend a publishing house to you.”

Without waiting for Lin Xi to speak, Sang Xiao turned around and walked out, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll go back and get you the materials that need to be translated. After you finish translating them, I'll mail them together. If the publishing house is satisfied, we can make an appointment to go to the post office together to pick up the letters next time."

After saying that, she left in a hurry, without giving Lin Xi any chance to speak.

Zhao Yufen from next door heard the noise and couldn't help but whispered by the wall after Sang Xiao left: "Xixi, was the one who came just now Qin Zhengwei's wife?"

"Sister-in-law, did you hear everything?" Lin Xi asked.

"No, no, I saw her just now when she passed by my gate, but she was chattering away. How come she's no longer as cool and aloof as before?"

"Yeah, I was quite surprised too, but it looks quite cute."

Lin Xi even suspected that the reason why Sang Xiao pretended to be aloof in front of others was because she was afraid of exposing her funny and impetuous nature.

"Where has she been? She's in such a hurry."

"She went home to get some information for me and will be back soon."

"Oh, then is there anything in your house that you need my help with? I'll help you now."

"Most of the work in our house has been done by Fu Huaichuan, Ningning and the three children. Now even I have no place to intervene. But sister-in-law, if you have nothing to do, come over to our place to play. We have a lot of people here."

"No, no, I don't get along with that guy."

Although Zhao Yufen didn't say it explicitly, Lin Xi knew she was talking about Sang Xiao.

To be precise, Sang Xiao had given Zhao Yufen the cold shoulder before, so Zhao Yufen didn't like her and didn't want to get too close to her.

"But if you and Ningning need my help with anything, just call me in the yard," Zhao Yufen reminded.

"Don't worry, Sister Zhao, I won't be polite with you."

Sang Xiao ran home in a hurry. In addition to the translation materials, she also took some English books that she didn't need but she thought might be useful to Lin Xi. However, because the situation was very tense these days, Sang Xiao deliberately carried a cloth bag to avoid any trouble if she was seen.

After returning to the Fu family, she locked the gate.

Seeing her sneaky look, Lin Xi couldn't help but want to laugh.

But he also knew why Sang Xiao was so cautious.

Although it wouldn't be a big deal if others knew about it, I was afraid that someone would deliberately cause trouble.

"Ningning, you are not allowed to tell anyone else what you hear or see, understand?"

"Can't Fourth Brother tell me either?"

"Your fourth brother knows what I'm going to tell your sister Sang later."

"Oh!"

Sang Xiao walked in and sat down on the bench.

"Ningning, can you pour a glass of water for Sister Sang? Sister Sang is afraid that your sister-in-law is waiting anxiously, and she didn't even have time to drink water when she got home."

"I'll go right away."

Fu Ning stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

I just walked halfway and turned back.

Sang Xiao was now taking books and materials out of the cloth bag.

"These are the books I read the most when I first started translating. This is the material that the publisher just sent me not long ago. I need to translate it. I gave you some of it. You can try to translate it. If you encounter something you don't know or don't understand, you can ask me. Although I'm not sure if I'm a qualified teacher, I will definitely tell you everything I know and understand without reservation."

Fu Ning waited for a while, and seeing that Sang Xiao was breathing heavily, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and turned to go to the kitchen.

Watching him leave, Sang Xiao couldn't help but say, "Don't tell me, Ningning is a really good kid, but my two little ones are also very obedient."

"Do you have a daughter or a son?" Lin Xi asked.

Hearing this, Sang Xiao was surprised and asked, "You don't know? Didn't Lao Qin and Xiao Fu tell you?"

Lin Xi shook his head and said, "No, I didn't ask."

"I have two sons, one is twelve years old and the other is eight years old."

"Wow, then you and Political Commissar Qin got married very early!"

"He and I were childhood sweethearts, so I married him right after I graduated from college. We gave birth to our first child the same year we got married. We had no plans to have a second child, but I always felt that not having a daughter was a pity. After all, Lao Qin and I are not ugly, so we tried our best, and who knew it would be another son!"

Sang Xiao looked disgusted whenever she talked about her two sons.

"But you really can't tell that you gave birth to two sons." Sang Xiao looked to be no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old, not at all like someone in her thirties.

"Like you, I don't do anything at home except translating the materials sent by the publishing house. I leave everything to Lao Qin and my two sons when they come back."

Hearing this, Lin Xi immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "It's rare to find women as happy and smart as you and me nowadays."

In this era, most women are like Zhao Yufen next door, who takes care of all the household chores. When men come home, they just eat, sleep, rest and play.

"I want to be friends with you. You really understand me. Those women out there don't know how to enjoy life, but they even dare to scold me, saying I'm a lazy woman. My husband and kids are willing to pamper me and follow my will. Do I have to make myself suffer like them just to avoid being called a lazy woman? Why?"

Sang Xiao got angry when she talked about these things, but she quickly changed the subject and said, "But I guess you will soon be on the list of lazy women in the family compound."

"Just go ahead, I don't care anyway."

Sang Xiao: "Me too, so every time I go out I pretend to be someone I don't want to be around. This may make me a bit infamous, but at least I can keep my ears clean."

"Sister Sang, drink some water!"

Fu Ning came quickly with a cup of warm water.

After Sang Xiao took the water and realized that Fu Ning had mixed it with warm water, her eyes once again revealed her love for Fu Ning.

"Xixi, aren't you going to teach Ningning? Hurry up and teach him. Don't waste his time because of me. It's a good opportunity for me to learn from him. I won't be pissed off by those two debt collectors every time I have to help them with their homework."

"As long as you don't find it boring, then let's start talking?"

"Yes."

Sang Xiao's face was full of anticipation.

After she truly witnessed how difficult it was for Lin Xi to teach Fu Ning and how patient Lin Xi was, her admiration for Lin Xi became like a surging river. She also really didn't expect that Ningning, who looked very smart, was so... not very smart when it came to learning knowledge.

So while Lin Xi was taking a break, she sneaked up to Lin Xi and said, "Xixi, can you tell me why you are so patient?"

"If I had half the patience, we wouldn't have such a fuss when it comes to helping our kids with their homework."

"You eat at the army cafeteria at noon anyway, why don't you stay at our house for lunch today? You'll know why I'm so patient in the evening. But you have to help me wash and cut the vegetables. Usually, Sister Zhao from next door helps me with this."

"I'm good at this job, so I don't need her to do it. But I'm not eating your food for free. Please take this money. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be too embarrassed to eat. If you give me the money, I'll be able to eat more comfortably."

After saying that, Sang Xiao took out the five dollars that she had not been able to give away before from her pocket.

Lin Xi: "..."

"You won't feel at ease if you don't give us the five dollars, right?"

"Yes, it is!"

"In that case, I'll take it. I'll ask your child and Political Commissar Qin to come to our house for dinner tonight. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable taking the five dollars."

"Really?" Sang Xiao said in disbelief.

"If you say so, I will agree immediately. You don't know that since Lao Qin had that meal at home, he has been nagging in my ear non-stop, so noisy that I don't let him sleep in my bed at night."
