The sisters-in-law wanted to see Lin Qingyan right now, but Lu Zhengting's words clearly indicated that he didn't want them to go over now, fearing they would disturb his wife's rest.

"Alright, alright, we won't go now, but we'll see each other sooner or later."

"Sisters, I need to go back and unload the furniture, I have to go now."

"Okay, let's go."

The three of them walked ahead, while the other women couldn't contain their curiosity and all wanted to see Lin Qingyan.

Gu Mingzhou's apartment was closer to the main gate, so Lu Zhengting had to pass by his house to enter and exit the compound. When Lin Sisi saw the large wardrobe that Lu Zhengting had bought in the yard, she couldn't help but think of herself. When she and Gu Mingzhou came here, Gu Mingzhou hadn't even bought a single piece of furniture.

Later, she bought a few basic pieces of furniture, but in her house, there was not even a large wardrobe with a mirror, let alone a wooden box for clothes. Her clothes were all folded and placed on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Later, when Gu's mother was coming, Gu Mingzhou was afraid that she would see through his deception, so he made two wooden boxes.

Lu Zhengting was so good to Lin Qingyan, and so willing to spend money on her, that she couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Lin Qingyan again.

It must be because Lu Zhengting's third leg hasn't healed yet, which is why he's spending money to appease Lin Qingyan. Otherwise, why would Lin Qingyan be worth it?

Lu Zhengting, Lao Sun, and Lin Zhiheng brought the furniture back. Before they even entered the house, Lu Zhengting told Lao Sun to wait outside.

"I'll go in first and see if my wife is awake."

He tiptoed inside, afraid that making even the slightest sound would wake Lin Qingyan.

Seeing his cautious demeanor, Old Sun couldn't help but shake his head.

"Finally, someone has managed to handle this most difficult troublemaker in the military."

Lu Zhengting walked into the room and found that Lin Qingyan had already woken up and was standing by the kang (a heated brick bed) folding clothes.

Seeing this scene, a feeling of warmth called home instantly filled his entire chest.

Lin Qingyan noticed him return and turned to look at him.

"Zhengting, where did you go again? When I woke up, I saw that you brought back so many things, but I didn't see you and Xiaoheng."

"Xiao Heng and I just went to get the furniture. Now that you're awake, I'll have Master Sun bring it in."

He went out and called Old Sun, saying that they could move the furniture inside now.

After unloading the wardrobe, washbasin stand, and small stool, they still had to move other furniture, while Lin Qingyan continued to organize things at home.

Lu Zhengting quickly pulled a second load of furniture past the gates of those family compounds, and the sight of the truck full of stuff stunned the women there.

"Comrade Lu, we're getting more and more curious. What kind of angel is your wife? Look at all these things you're bringing home, how much did it cost?"

Lu Zhengting smiled smugly yet gently, "It's worth it no matter how much money it costs."

After he finished speaking, he waved to his sisters-in-law, "I'm leaving now, I'm not going to chat with you anymore."

The women started whispering among themselves again.

"Look at him, look at him, he's so smug. He must have a fairy hiding in his house."

"That's right, why don't we go take a look now?"

"Okay, let's go take a look."

The women walked a few steps, but the one in the lead suddenly stopped.

"No, no. They already said his wife is resting at home, so let's not bother her. She'll be going out sooner or later, we'll see her eventually."

"Okay, let's wait at the door and see if she wants to go out and pass by here."

"She'll definitely pass through here, so let's just wait."

By the time Lu Zhengting brought over the remaining furniture and finished unloading it, it was already noon, almost lunchtime.

Lu Zhengting said, "Wife, Xiao Heng, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch first, and then cook at home after we buy the pots and pans. Wife, if you don't want to go to the cafeteria, I'll bring the food back, and we can eat at home."

"Anywhere is fine. But it's too much trouble to call back, let's go together."

"good."

They had just finished discussing it when Sister Zhang arrived. She went into the house and saw that there was only furniture inside.

"You don't have a pot or stove here, so you can't cook lunch. Why don't you come to my house for lunch?"

Lu Zhengting didn't have any objections. He used to often go to Battalion Commander Zhang's house for meals, but he also often brought things with him.

Lin Qingyan felt a little embarrassed. There were three adults in their family, while the other family had two children, making a total of four people. In these days, food was precious, so it wasn't appropriate to go to their house for a free meal.

"Sister-in-law, we appreciate your kindness, but with so many of us, let's eat in the cafeteria."

"It's alright, there are four of you, and I can afford to feed you. Okay, don't refuse anymore, just come to my house."

Lin Qingyan and Lin Zhiheng both glanced at Lu Zhengting. Lu Zhengting smiled and said, "Since it is my sister-in-law's kind invitation, we can only accept it."
