"Sisi, look at this."
When Lin Sisi saw the jade pendant in Gu's mother's hand, it was exactly the same as the one she had lost in Mopan Village. Even the string was the same as hers, and she had even made a mark on the string. This string also had a mark, so Lin Sisi was basically certain that this was the one she had lost.
Why did this jade pendant end up in Gu's mother's hands?
Mother Gu noticed her surprised expression: "You can tell too, this is a good thing, right? I heard that carrying this thing will bring good fortune in having children, so I brought it for you. You can secretly carry it with you, maybe it will help you get pregnant."
Lin Sisi could hardly believe it when she heard what Gu's mother said. The jade pendant that she had lost could actually be returned to her hands again.
She must be the person most destined to have this jade pendant, otherwise it wouldn't have come back to her after all the twists and turns.
Since they are so destined to be together, the jade pendant should surely bless her.
Mother Gu handed the jade pendant to her, saying, "I'm giving it to you now. You must wear it carefully. I'll give you three more months. After three months, I want to hear the good news that you're pregnant."
Lin Sisi stroked the jade pendant, her heart filled with joy at having it returned, and she didn't pay much attention to what Gu's mother said.
On the surface, she nodded repeatedly to Gu's mother: "Mom, Mingzhou and I have been working hard. I believe that with the blessing of this jade pendant, I will be able to get pregnant sooner and let you hold your grandson soon."
"Mmm." Lin Sisi's words successfully pleased Gu's mother. "I've already asked for leave from work and will be staying here for a few days. I'll cook you some delicious food and help you get better so you can get pregnant sooner."
Gu's mother originally disdained serving this daughter-in-law, but she was eager to have a grandson, so she had no choice but to treat Lin Sisi better.
"Thank you, Mom."
After receiving the jade pendant, Lin Sisi immediately put it around her neck and, as before, hid it inside her clothes.
She quickly tried to please Gu's mother: "Mom, would you like to go somewhere for a stroll? I'll go with you."
"I'm still a bit tired. Let's decide where to go after I've rested."
"OK."
Lin Qingyan was asleep at home when Lu Zhengting and Lin Zhiheng returned. In order not to disturb her, they moved quietly and tried not to make any noise.
Lu Zhengting brought over his bedding, some clothes, a thermos, a basin, towels, a lunchbox, and other miscellaneous items.
After putting these things away, he still needed to move the furniture, so Lin Zhiheng went with him.
There are carpenters in the army who make furniture for the soldiers living in the barracks and the officers and their families in the family compound. In short, they are responsible for the furniture making for the entire army and are in charge of logistics.
If it involved military matters, then other carpenters would do it.
Old Sun has a truck that delivers furniture. Lu Zhengting asked for two cabinets, one of which was a large standing cabinet with a mirror specifically for his wife, three wooden boxes, a square table for dining, two washbasin stands, and four small stools.
The cabinets, wooden chests, and washbasin stands were all painted, and the stools were made of solid wood, which would be more breathable to sit on in the summer than if they were painted.
Old Sun's truck can't carry that much at once; it will take at least two trips.
Their first trip involved moving the large wardrobe, the washbasin stand, and the four small stools.
The women in the residential compound don't need to go to work. They stay home to take care of their children, make clothes and shoes, or gather in groups of three or five outside the compound to chat idly.
Lu Zhengting was so well-known in the army that not only the soldiers and officers knew him, but almost all the women in the family compound also knew him.
The main reason he attracted the attention of these women was not only because of his outstanding abilities, but also because of his exceptionally good looks, and because he was known throughout the army for his aloofness from women.
Several of his sisters-in-law had tried to introduce their relatives and sisters to him, but he never approached women, so they had to give up. Even when they managed to bring their girls to him, he would simply reject them with the excuse that he "didn't want to find a partner yet."
When they pulled the furniture back to the family compound, there were several women sewing shoe soles in the sun.
They saw Lu Zhengting pulling a new large wardrobe with a full-length mirror, and there was also a washbasin stand in the car. These are usually things that people buy when they get married. Could it be that Lu Zhengting is also getting married?
They were all very curious about this, so they stopped Lu Zhengting.
"Comrade Lu, did you buy the large wardrobe and washbasin stand on this vehicle?"
Lu Zhengting smiled and nodded, his handsome and masculine face beaming with pride.
"I bought it. I'm getting married."
He unconsciously turned up the volume, wishing the entire residential compound could hear him.
You're married!
Unsurprisingly, the astonishment on the faces of those women upon hearing the news was no less than that of someone struck by lightning on a clear day; they all stared at Lu Zhengting in disbelief.
One of the women walked up to Lu Zhengting and asked, "You're really married? When did it happen?"
"It's true, I really got married, just a few days ago. But it wasn't here, it was at my maternal grandmother's house."
"Where's your wife? She must have come with you, otherwise you wouldn't have needed to buy all this furniture."
They all wanted to see what Lu Zhengting's wife looked like.
Lu Zhengting was outstanding in the army, and his wife must be a rare beauty, one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand.
“My wife did come, but she was tired from the journey and is resting at home now. When I have time, I will introduce her to my sisters-in-law.”
