"We're almost out of eggs at home, wait for me to go with you."

Actually, Wu Mei was just saying that because she was afraid Zhao Qinglan wouldn't be able to find the grocery store. They only ate eggs a few times a month, so why would they buy more when they were almost out?

The two left together with a child.

Li Huai had been away for several days, and when he returned, he brought back a strange woman. The news spread throughout the residential area yesterday, and everyone knows that he has remarried.

I wonder how many families were discussing this new face at their dinner tables last night, and some even compared her to Zhu Kexin from before.

Zhao Qinglan's appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Everyone knows Wu Mei, so they will naturally greet each other when they meet. Wu Mei will also introduce Zhao Qinglan and the other person to each other.

By the time they reached the grocery store, Zhao Qinglan had already gotten to know quite a few family members.

The grocery store was specially opened to make things convenient for the troops and their families. It mainly sold common groceries and other necessities. If you wanted other clothing or other items, you had to go into town to buy them.

Seeing Zhao Qinglan, a completely unfamiliar face, the staff at the grocery store became curious. Once they learned that she was Li Huai's current wife, they treated her quite politely.

However, as soon as she left, she started discussing it with her colleagues.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Li is quite lucky; he's married to a number of beautiful women."

"Hmph, what's the use of looking good? It's what matters that you can live with someone for a long time. The one before that ran away anyway."

"That's true, but this one looks more pleasing to the eye than the previous one. He's quite polite, though. That one, oh my, he's got eyes that are on the sky."

As soon as Zhao Qinglan left, the eldest child in the family started plotting with his younger brother.

"Erwa, do you remember what your brother told you? You must never surrender to that woman."

"Brother, her cooking is so delicious!" Erwa said, licking his lips with satisfaction.

"All you know is eating, you're useless." The eldest son said, exasperated.

"You're eating really well too," Erwa pouted, looking aggrieved.

The older brother was speechless at his straightforward younger brother's words.
