Hualing was feeling quite smug these days, especially after learning that Platoon Leader Chen had been commended for his achievements. The joy she felt upon hearing about Taiguo's troubles was simply indescribable.
In celebration of Chen Shouwang's commendation, she had made a special trip to the agricultural market to buy meat, vegetables, and fine wine. It was only proper to celebrate his achievements in a fitting manner.
She wondered how Cheng Su was taking it all.
As she put down her vegetables and heard the bustling noise from next door, Hualing's curiosity got the better of her.
Cheng Su's front door was wide open, and Hualing knocked before entering.
Cheng Su and Chunhua were deep in conversation while, in the living room, a man tinkered with something, and another person was speaking outside the window.
"What's all this about?" Hualing asked, observing the commotion.
Chunhua replied loudly, "Cheng Su's family is getting a telephone installed at home!"
