Seeing that it was a handful of White Rabbit candies, He Hongxiu quickly refused, "Sister, this is too expensive. You should keep this precious thing for yourself to nourish your body."

Jiang Yan grabbed He Hongxiu's hand and stopped her from returning the candy. "Sister-in-law, I just arrived and don't know anyone. I'll have to trouble you to introduce me to everyone and our family compound."

As she spoke, Jiang Yan deliberately said in a somewhat sarcastic tone: "If you are so polite, then I won't ask you for help. You are the wife of the political commissar, how dare I trouble you."

He Hongxiu was not angry at all. Instead, she smiled brightly. "What you said is not a problem at all."

Jiang Yan smiled sweetly, "Sister-in-law, I see there are comic books in your basket. You must have children at home. Just consider it a gift from your new aunt."

"Okay, then sister-in-law, I will take advantage of you this time and make our three little ones happy for once."

He Hongxiu hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the candy.

First, I didn't want to disappoint Jiang Yan. She had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place, so she would definitely be worried about various things. If I refused, she would probably think a lot.

Second, although the man was a political commissar and had a good salary, he had to support two adults and three children and send some money back home from time to time. His life was indeed not well off, and things like milk candy were never within his consideration, which was unfair to the children.

In order to make He Hongxiu feel better, Jiang Yan asked, "Sister-in-law, I don't know much about our situation. What vegetables can we grow at this time of year? I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative with Yunsheng tomorrow and buy some seeds."

Having just received the gift, He Hongxiu already felt indebted. When she heard Jiang Yan's request, she said generously, "Hey, why waste that money? I harvested a lot of seeds last year. I'll give you some when the time comes. It'll be enough to plant in your yard."

"That's great, sister-in-law, you've helped me a lot. Please think of me when you do good things like this in the future."

As she spoke, Jiang Yan grabbed another handful and put it into He Hongxiu's bamboo basket.

"No problem. If there is something good in the future, sister-in-law will definitely be the first to tell you."

He Hongxiu agreed readily. Seeing Jiang Yan grab another handful of candy, she hurriedly said, "That's enough. This White Rabbit candy is not cheap. One handful is enough. If there are a few more, the little guy might not be able to finish it."

"This isn't for you. It's for my lovely nephews and nieces. You have no right to make decisions for them."

Without waiting for He Hongxiu to speak, Jiang Yan continued, "Okay, it's decided. Sister-in-law, go back and cook. The political commissar is waiting for your hot meal."

"Oh," He Hongxiu slapped her forehead and said hurriedly, "I have to go back to cook. Sister, when you are free in a few days, sister-in-law will take you to the sea."

"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, come and call me when the time comes."

"Okay, go back."

He Hongxiu hurried home, humming a little tune along the way.

Before I even reached the front door, three radish heads, big and small, ran out from the yard one after another.

These are He Hongxiu’s three children, two boys and one girl. The eldest and third are boys, and the second is a girl.

"Mom, what took you so long? I'm hungry."

"Mom, what did you buy?"

The youngest boy tugged at He Hongxiu's bamboo basket and exclaimed in surprise, "Candy, Mom bought candy."

He Hongxiu tapped the little ones' foreheads and said lovingly, "You only know how to eat. This is not bought by mother. How could mother afford to buy such an expensive thing?"

"This is from Aunt Jiang Yan, the newcomer to Uncle Lu's house next door. She said it's a gift for you. Remember to thank Aunt Jiang Yan next time you see her, okay?"

"I know."

The three little guys nodded obediently, their eyes fixed on the bamboo basket.

He Hongxiu smiled and took out three and shared them among the little ones.

Put away all the rest. This is such a good thing that you can’t eat it all in one day. Just give it a sweet treat once in a while.

"Mom is going to cook, you guys play by yourselves and don't be naughty, understand?"

The three of them said in unison: "Okay."

After getting the candy, the three little guys quickly opened the packaging and put the candy into their mouths but did not chew it. Instead, they used saliva to slowly melt the candy so that they could eat it for longer.

"sweet."

“It smells so good.”

"Aunt Jiang Yan is so nice."

The three little ones sat in a row on the stone slabs near the gate, from tall to short, their young faces full of childish innocence.

In the distance, at the end of the road in the military family compound, two figures in military uniforms, one tall and one short, slowly walked over.

"Since the girl doesn't mind, don't take it to heart. Live a good life with her in the future. It's not easy to find such a cultured and sensible girl."

Sheng Pinghua spoke earnestly to Lu Yunsheng, who was a head taller than him.

He was just about to get off work when he saw Lu Yunsheng running over. He thought it was some urgent matter, but this guy actually said he wanted to apply for marriage.

Sheng Pinghua's expression at that time was exactly the same as that of his wife He Hongxiu.

Not many people in the regiment knew that Lu Yunsheng was infertile. Only he, the regiment commander, and several other leaders knew about it.

After all, it was not a glorious thing, so no one made it public. Otherwise, he would have introduced several of his sisters and nieces to Lu Yunsheng long ago.

"I know."

Of course Lu Yunsheng would treat Jiang Yan well. Where else could he find such a good daughter-in-law? Thinking that Jiang Yan had just arrived, he said, "Political Commissar, Jiang Yan is new here and she is not from the south. She may not be able to adapt to the new environment. Please take care of her, sister-in-law."

"Don't worry about this, I will tell your sister-in-law."

As the two were talking, they saw three little guys at the door, and the little guys also saw Sheng Pinghua and the others.
