The bed board suddenly made a "bang" sound when it touched the ground.

Before Lu Ting could react, the ground below suddenly collapsed.

"Bang--"

Lu Ting carried Su Miaoyan and quickly got off the bed. Almost the instant they got off, the bed collapsed with a loud crash.

Next door, Ma Yingchun was awakened by the noise and subconsciously looked up at the window.

I sighed twice. Sure enough, this newlywed couple is really something.

Su Miaoyan was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt herself flying, which woke her up almost instantly.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she stared at Lu Ting.

Su Miaoyan blinked blankly.

"Lu Ting, this is..."

She found herself lying in Lu Ting's arms in a strange position.

Her hands were still around his neck.

Lu Ting never expected such an unexpected thing to happen to him.

He avoided her gaze, his eyes fixed on the bed.

He said, "The bed collapsed."

Su Miaoyan: ...

The bed collapsed?

Almost instantly, all her drowsiness vanished. Su Miaoyan turned around and found that the bed, which had been perfectly fine just moments before, had made intimate contact with the floor.

Su Miaoyan: ...

She said, "Lu Ting, where shall we sleep tonight?"

Lu Ting carried Su Miaoyan to another room. "I'll go get the blankets. We'll make do here for tonight. I'll buy some things to fix the bed board tomorrow."

"Oh, okay."

Su Miaoyan sat obediently on the bed board, her feet touching the ground, and then stood up to the side.

Fortunately, the bed was clean enough that they didn't have to clean it again, and the two of them were busy until midnight before they finally fell asleep.

When Su Miaoyan woke up the next day, Lu Ting was nowhere to be seen. She got up and went to the living room, where she found soy milk baked buns and corn on the table, with a note underneath.

Su Miaoyan read the contents and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Lu Ting went to training, and specially bought breakfast and put it on the table.

He said he would wait for her at the cafeteria entrance at noon to have lunch together, and that he would tell everyone about the wedding banquet during training.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will happen tonight.

Su Miaoyan put the note down to wash up, then quickly finished her breakfast, changed into clean and neat clothes, and prepared to go out.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Ma Yingchun, who was heading to the orchard, as soon as they stepped out.

Su Miaoyan paused, then politely greeted, "Hello."

Coming out from next door, they must be the neighbors who live next door, right?

When Ma Yingchun saw this person who looked as beautiful as if she had stepped out of a painting, and thought of the voice she had heard last night, her ears burned red.

She said loudly, "Hello, girl."

Su Miaoyan asked, "Auntie, do you live next door?"

Ma Yingchun nodded, "Yes, I live next door. You're Commander Lu's wife, right? You can't call me 'Auntie' then."

Su Miaoyan asked, puzzled, "Why can't I call you 'Auntie' because she's Commander Lu's wife?"

“Because the officer in the Lu regiment is higher than my husband, you look younger. If it really doesn’t work, you can call me sister-in-law.”

Su Miaoyan seemed to understand something, "Then I'll call you sister-in-law."

Ma Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, oh right, Commander Lu's wife, I heard from Commander Lu that your family is having a banquet tonight."

As he spoke, he took out a red cloth bag from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "This is a small token of our appreciation from Lao Wei and me. Please don't find it offensive."

Su Miaoyan was stunned when she was suddenly stuffed into someone's arms. "This..."

Fearing she would refuse, Ma Yingchun advised, "Just accept it. You're going out now to buy things at the supply and marketing cooperative, right? Or should I give you some tips?"

This morning, when Wei Deyao went out, he repeatedly told her to be very polite to Commander Lu's wife, and not to ignore, look down on, or distance herself from her just because of her family background.

Ma Yingchun struggled with her conscience for a long time before convincing herself, so she was exceptionally warm and polite to Su Miaoyan when she met her this morning.

Su Miaoyan was a little overwhelmed, but she still accepted it generously and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'll bring some things to your house another day. But you don't need to help me carry these things; I can manage on my own."

It's necessary to maintain good relationships, but it shouldn't be too troublesome.

Su Miaoyan knew perfectly well that these people were being polite to her only because of Lu Ting.

Ma Yingchun didn't insist. "No need to return the favor. From now on, we're neighbors. If you need any help, just call us anytime. I'm right next door."

Su Miaoyan nodded and smiled, "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."

"Then I'll head to the supply and marketing cooperative first, so I won't take up any more of your time."

"Okay, okay, take care, Commander Lu's wife."

Su Miaoyan greeted them with a smile, put away the red cloth bag, and quickly walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

Watching the figure gradually disappear, Ma Yingchun scratched her head. This capitalist's daughter doesn't really have that much of a capitalist's air about her.

However, you can only know a person's face but not their heart; let's get to know them better and see how things go.

Little did he know that tomorrow he would be speechless with shock at Su Miaoyan and his opinion of her would change.

After saying goodbye to Ma Yingchun, Su Miaoyan hurried towards the military region's orchard. On the way here yesterday, Lu Ting seemed to have pointed out the approximate location to her, and she still remembered it.

After taking several detours, Su Miaoyan finally saw the orchard in the distance.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over.

The orchard was tended by a retired veteran who was over fifty years old and still unmarried, with no relatives in his family. Out of consideration for his superiors, he was given a leisurely job tending the orchard.

When someone arrived, and it was a stranger again,

Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, Old Soldier Xu asked, "Are you here to pick fruit?"

Su Miaoyan nodded, "Yes, I wanted to ask how much the fruits and vegetables here cost?"

Old Soldier Xu quoted a series of prices, and Su Miaoyan thought it was quite cheap, so she immediately said, "Okay, Uncle, then I want to go in and pick them."

Veteran Xu handed over the key, somewhat curiously asking, "Why haven't I seen you at the military region before?"

Su Miaoyan said, "I married Lu Ting and just arrived with the army yesterday."

Veteran Xu suddenly realized.

Su Miaoyan: "Then I'll go in, Uncle."

"Okay, let's hurry up."

Su Miaoyan took the key and went inside to pick some fruits and vegetables she needed. She came out shortly afterward.

Seeing that she had only picked a small amount, Old Soldier Xu didn't ask any further questions.

After all, he's small in stature, so he probably isn't very strong either.

After weighing the items, Su Miaoyan paid the money, returned the key, and headed to the supply and marketing cooperative. There, she bought some pork, a free-range chicken, and some vegetable and fruit seeds before returning to her courtyard.

Almost as soon as she entered the courtyard, Su Miaoyan replaced these things with chicken and pork from her space, as well as fruits and vegetables.

The items bought from the supply and marketing cooperative were placed in the spiritual spring water in the space to be nourished. Once the nourishment was complete, they would be put into the processing workshop for processing.

We'll make chicken meatballs and beef meatballs later.

After finishing dealing with these things, Su Miaoyan glanced at the time and realized it was almost noon. She immediately went out to the cafeteria to find Lu Ting for lunch.

Now that everyone had finished their training, Su Miaoyan walked through the bustling crowd and saw...
