When they returned to the military region, Xue Yanchen told his wife and grandmother to rest first. He unloaded everything from the car by himself, then returned the car to the commander's family, leaving a two-pound piece of pork in the car as payment for the use of the vehicle.

Qiu Aizhen said, "You're too kind. What else do you need?"

She genuinely liked the young couple and was willing to let them use her things without expecting anything in return.

However, because she herself has three sons, she likes Luo Jingyan more.

Xue Yanchen left the meat behind and then left.

Luo Jingyan stood guard over the new coal stove, wondering what to burn.

Xue Yanchen said, "There are special places in the army that supply coal briquettes. Officers who meet the requirements for accompanying their troops are usually issued a certain number of coal coupons every month. I'll go buy coal briquettes now."

Xue Yanchen returned to his dormitory to get his coal coupons, and half an hour later, he pushed a cart full of coal briquettes back to the dormitory.

Luo Jingyan was tidying up in the kitchen. He unloaded the coal briquettes and piled them in the corner of the kitchen. Unconsciously, a feeling called "the warmth of home" welled up in his heart.

He was no longer alone outside.

He now has a house, a wife to keep him company, and a home of his own.

While Grandma Xue was away, he couldn't resist pulling his wife into his arms.

Luo Jingyan was wiping the bowl with a rag: "What are you doing? It's broad daylight, it's not good if someone sees you."

"I'll only hold you for a little while. In two more days... I really want that day, that night, to come right now."

Upon hearing the last three words he uttered, Luo Jingyan blushed and pushed him away, saying, "You're being a pervert again."

“You’re my wife now, we’ve already registered our marriage, how can I be considered a scoundrel? This is just fulfilling my legal marital obligations.”

Luo Jingyan looked towards another room: "I'm afraid Grandma will hear."

"Okay, I won't say anything more." Whether I say it or not, I'll still have to do it when the time comes.

The next day, the weather was fine. Luo Jingyan and Grandma Xue left the guesthouse early in the morning and came to the military region, where they even made breakfast.

Right after they finished eating, Xiao Wang came with Commander Lu's orders and called Xue Yanchen away.

The weather outside was warm and pleasant, so Qiu Aizhen brought over three military wives.

"I heard from Sister-in-law Aizhen that our Battalion Commander Xue is getting married. I wanted to come and see what the bride looks like yesterday, but she said she was going to make quilts for the newlyweds today, so I waited until today to come. I want to see what kind of lovely girl is worthy of our Battalion Commander Xue."

Hearing the voices coming from inside and outside the house, Luo Jingyan quickly got up to greet them. When she saw that it was Qiu Aizhen with her three sisters-in-law, she greeted them with a smile, "Aunt Qiu, you and your sisters-in-law are here. Please come in and sit down."

The person who spoke just now was Commander Jiang's wife, named Jing Yanhong. She was completely stunned when she arrived at Luo Jingyan's place.

"Hey, I was wondering what Battalion Commander Xue's wife looks like. She's prettier than any girl I've ever seen before."

Luo Jingyan said modestly, "Sister-in-law, you're so good with words."

"I'm telling the truth, she's much prettier than Li Xue from our local performing arts troupe, don't you think?"

These military wives all knew that Li Xue had once pursued Xue Yanchen. It's all her fault for being so quick to talk; why did she have to bring up Li Xue?

However, Jing Yanhong really didn't mean any harm; she simply wanted to praise Luo Jingyan.

Qiu Aizhen said, "Don't mention Li Xue. We're here today to make quilts for the newlyweds. Let's talk about our work."

"Aunt Qiu, you and your sisters-in-law don't need to rush, sit down and rest."

Luo Jingyan brought them stools, as well as candy and melon seeds to eat.

Everyone was very happy: "Xiao Xue's wife is not only beautiful, but also has a sweet tongue and is very sensible."

"That's right, Comrade Xue is very lucky."

Of the four military wives who came, Qiu Aizhen and another military wife surnamed Cheng were from the city, while Jing Yanhong and another military wife surnamed Ding were from the countryside.

The military wives from the countryside here are all excellent at needlework. Qiu Aizhen and Jing Yanhong are among the best at needlework among the military wives from the city.

After eating some candy and melon seeds, the military wives got up and started working.

They moved swiftly, carrying Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan's double bed from inside the house to the yard, where they made quilts on the bed.

The courtyard is not only warm but also well-lit, making it perfect for needlework.

While they were cooking, Luo Jingyan assisted them, and Grandma Xue was also there to help. Around noon, Luo Jingyan went to the kitchen to cook.

She bought pork, vermicelli, cabbage, and potatoes yesterday to make stew for these military wives.

Before she had even finished cooking, the aroma wafting from the kitchen was enough to make the military wives swoon.

"Oh my, is this Xiao Xue's wife cooking? It smells so good, it could make your nose fall out."

Smelling the aroma, Qiu Aizhen couldn't help but exclaim, "I never expected Jingyan to be not only beautiful, but also skilled at catching criminals and enemy agents, and her cooking skills are also so good."

Oh my, if she had such a wonderful daughter, her life would be complete.

She was extremely envious of Luo Jingyan's parents.

After Luo Jingyan finished preparing the meal, the military wives had also finished most of the work. Luo Jingyan served the food, told them to wash their hands, and then they could eat.

The military wives ate the food and praised Luo Jingyan even more.

"Xiao Luo, who taught you to cook? Your cooking is so delicious, even better than the chefs in our canteen and state-run restaurants. Could you teach your sister-in-law sometime?"
