Jiang Xuan turned around and saw a thin old woman, about 60 years old, walk in.

She wore a gray coat, her hair was gray and tightly coiled into a bun at the back of her head, and her face looked very harsh.

Zhang Guiying didn't like Jiang Xuan and the others from the first sight. They were pretty and loved to dress up, and they didn't seem to know how to behave properly. She said gruffly, "Did you just move in?"

"Yes, ma'am, we should be neighbors."

Zhang Guiying pointed at the pool, "Were you using water just now? Just washing your faces, look at the mess! Water is everywhere, look at the state outside the door!"

"Auntie, I'm so sorry, we just moved here and didn't pay much attention to where the water would flow."

Seeing that Jiang Xuan looked gentle and weak, and that her attitude was quite good, Zhang Guiying felt relieved.

She fears nothing more than encountering those annoying neighbors who won't listen to advice.

Zhang Guiying walked to the pool, tightened the faucet again, and continued to mutter while looking at the spout, "My God, how much water did you use? The floor is covered in water. If you're not careful, you might slip and knock out your front teeth."

Lu Fanxing said in her childish voice, "Grandma, you already said that we will be more careful in the future."

"You little brat, why are you so quick to speak? I'm saying this for your own good. Oh dear, why does this look like my stone?"

Zhang Guiying hurried outside the kitchen and exclaimed, "You moved my stone here?"

"Auntie, my child couldn't reach the faucet when washing his face, so I brought this over. If you need this stone, I'll help you carry it back."

"Oh dear, this is for pickling vegetables! How could you let a girl step on it?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I didn't realize this was for your pickling. I'll wash it for you right away."

Zhang Guiying said irritably, "What's the use of washing it clean? It's been stepped on by a stinky woman, how can it be pickled later?"

Jiang Xuan hadn't thought much of what was said before, but she didn't like hearing this last sentence.

"That's a really harsh thing to say. What do you mean by 'shameful woman'? Aren't you a woman?"

Zhang Guiying was furious. She had thought the woman was docile just a moment ago, but she started to get angry after only two sentences. It seemed she wasn't easy to get along with.

She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Your child stepped on the stone that was used to pickle my vegetables, and you still think you're right?"

Hearing the commotion, Lu Shengye came out. "What's wrong?"

Upon seeing Lu Shengye in his military uniform, Zhang Guiying broke out in a cold sweat and wilted.

She never expected that her neighbor would be a soldier.

Although there were soldiers in this large compound, they were a minority; the majority of the residents were people who worked in clothing and machinery factories.

She quickly said, "Oh, you see, I was in a hurry and spoke a little loudly, please don't mind. I'll wash that stone later, it's fine."

Jiang Xuan sneered and went into the house. She hated people who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Lu Shengye followed him in and closed the door.

"I've been thinking about it," Jiang Xuan said as soon as she entered the door. "There are still many places in the house where we need to spend money. We should save as much as we can. I'll go to Grandpa's place again tomorrow and move Dian Dian and Fan Xing's desks and chairs there."

Lu Shengye nodded. "Yes, their wardrobes can be moved over too. I'll find someone to help tomorrow, so you don't need to go over there."

"Okay, take DianDian to wash her face. That little guy is still angry with me."

"He went to sleep after he finished crying, and he's asleep now."

"Okay, then I won't wash him tonight. There's no hot water at home, and I'm afraid I'll startle him if I wipe him with cold water."

Lu Shengye nodded.

Fanxing said obediently, "Daddy, Aunt Xuanxuan, I'm going to sleep now. You guys should go to sleep early too."

Jiang Xuan: "Aren't you afraid to sleep alone?"

"I'm not afraid. Lu Diandian doesn't let me call him brother, and I don't like sleeping with him either."

"Okay, you go to sleep now. We haven't cooked at home yet. I'll take you out for breakfast tomorrow."

After Fanxing entered the room, Jiang Xuan took Lu Shengye's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go to sleep early too."

Lu Shengye froze completely.

"What's wrong?"

"Um, I'm not sleepy yet, you go to sleep first."

Kang Hyun: You think I went to sleep because I was tired?

Jiang Xuan knew what he was thinking, but she didn't know what he was nervous about.

You already have two kids, why are you pretending to be innocent?

Moreover, given the original owner's figure and appearance, could he really resist?

Never mind, he's probably a bit conservative; he'll probably only do it after we get our marriage certificate.

The marriage application has already been submitted, so a few more days won't make a difference.

Jiang Xuan changed into her pajamas and climbed into bed.

There was only one bed in the entire room. In both of his lives, Jiang Xuan had never lived in such a simple house.

There was no television, no books or newspapers. She lay in bed, mentally listing the things she needed to buy the next day.

Pots and pans, dining table and stools, and some small items such as clothes rack, mop, bucket, comb, and two tiny toothbrushes.

Buy some more white paper to paste on the walls.

We also need to help Fanxing set up a painting exhibition wall.

The experience of decorating a new house bit by bit sounds quite interesting.

Inside the house, Jiang Xuan had already imagined what her future new home would look like a million times.

Lu Shengye, standing outside, had a completely blank mind.

There were no tables or chairs in the living room, and Lu Shengye stood there like a log.

While lost in thought, Jiang Xuan came out, clutching her arm. "Ugh, it's so hot in here. I opened the window, and a mosquito came in and bit me."

Lu Shengye tried his best to control himself and not look at those two long legs.

His Adam's apple bobbed. "Wait a moment, I'll go get some Tiger Balm from Grandpa."

"No need, just apply some soap." Jiang Xuan picked up the soap and walked towards the door.

"I'll go get you some water."

Lu Shengye picked up the basin and strode out, returning shortly with a basin of water.

The soap is really effective at relieving itching. After applying it for a while, Jiang Xuan felt less itchy.

"You're not planning to stand here all night, are you? You're going to the military region tomorrow. Aren't you afraid of being criticized by your superiors if you're not in good spirits? Come on, go to sleep."

Lu Shengye's face flushed, and he felt a burning sensation behind his ears.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Jiang Xuan pulled him aside and said, "I really don't know what you're so nervous about."

"I'm not used to it."

Jiang Xuan got angry. "You're not used to how you had the child? You're just not used to me, aren't you? You're probably very used to your white moonlight, aren't you?"

What white moonlight?

Lu Shengye didn't understand, but he roughly knew who she was talking about.

That's so unfair! He's never even held a girl's hand!

"I..." Lu Shengye wanted to explain, but he couldn't.

For protection, the military region forbade him from revealing the true identity of Dian Dian Fan Xing.

"Can't say anything more, huh? Never mind, I was just venting, don't take it to heart." Jiang Xuan said dejectedly, picking up her pillow. "I'm going to sleep with Fanxing."

"No, you sleep here. Fanxing's bed is too small, it will be even hotter if two people squeeze together."

Jiang Xuan looked aggrieved. "Then what can I do? I can't just stand by and watch you not sleep, can I? If word gets out, people will think I'm abusing you."

Lu Shengye said in a low voice, somewhat awkwardly, "Don't be angry, I'm going to sleep."
