Chapter Ninety-Nine is like a painting
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I thought I wouldn't see you until tomorrow. Sure enough, you still love me the most, hehehe..."
"Oh, okay, okay, hurry up and come inside, your hair is still wet!"
Shen Yuzhu pulled Zhao Yue off her body, took the towel from her shoulder, covered her hair, and gently rubbed it.
Bai Chunyang and Mu Qing were also very happy to see her, and the group walked happily into the house.
“Shen Zhiqing, you have no idea how much this girl has been talking about you. If it weren’t for Company Commander Ren stopping her, she would definitely have gone over to be a third wheel for you and Captain Zhou.”
Zhao Yue pouted, looking a little embarrassed.
"I didn't."
As Mu Qing put her things away, she mimicked Zhao Yue, "I~ didn't~ have any~."
Zhao Yue couldn't stand seeing her laugh at her, so the two of them immediately started arguing.
Shen Yuzhu and Bai Chunyang watched the two of them bicker for a while.
"Shen Zhiqing, how is Wangshu?"
“She’s doing well. There’s more work in the fields now. If she were still one of the educated youth who went to work in the fields, she would definitely be exhausted by now. But working at the agricultural research institute has made things much easier. She gets paid, and most importantly, she doesn’t have to go to work so early. She can go home early most of the time. It’s good. Don’t worry about her.”
Bai Chunyang breathed a sigh of relief. How could she not be worried? Wang Shu was the type of person who wouldn't say anything even if she suffered a loss.
Qiao Nianyu's family members were obsessed with protecting her, and her younger sister had suffered countless hardships. She dared not think about it; if she didn't side with her, she would have no family left.
"As long as she's doing well, I'll go see her when I'm on vacation."
"That's great. Now she and Manxiu live in the courtyard they built themselves, each with their own room. And a few of us are raising a few pigs with Wang Zhiqing. The piglets are being raised very well."
"Oh? That's great! Wang Shu isn't very sociable, and I've noticed that some of the other girls in the dorms at the educated youth settlement aren't exactly friendly either. It's good for her to live alone, it's good for her to live alone!"
Zhao Yue had been pressing on Mu Qing for a long time without letting her get up, but as soon as she heard "piglet," she immediately let go.
"Sister-in-law, what did you say? You're raising pigs? Does that mean I can eat meat at the end of the year?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll make braised meat for you later, you greedy cat."
Zhao Yue looked at Shen Yuzhu with sparkling eyes. Bai Chunyang and Mu Qing were very envious. These were only sisters who had met halfway through their lives, yet they were so close. Last time Zhao Yue went to the provincial capital, she came back with so many bags and packages.
She even said that Shen Yuzhu bought them all, and that she had already said she didn't want them anymore, but she kept buying them for her. It's really enviable.
“When I came back from the provincial capital this time, I saw several pretty hair accessories at the department store and bought them. Xiaoyue, you can share them. This bag contains some food that I made myself. You can share it with each other. I'll make more when you're done.”
Haidilao's special mushroom and beef sauce is delicious with rice or noodles. After eating it at the food warehouse, she couldn't stop eating it. She craves it if she doesn't have it for two meals.
I've been craving this lately, so this time I brought four cans for Zhou Congsheng and four cans for Zhao Yue, cough cough cough... Just to be fair, so that when this little girl starts making a fuss, I won't know what to say.
"Oh, sister-in-law, you're so kind. Zhao Yue, you're so lucky. Do you need a younger sister? I'd like to be your younger sister too."
Mu Qing stared at Shen Yuzhu with her big, bright eyes, but before she could speak, Zhao Yue blocked her way.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? I just gave you a hair accessory and some good food, and that's not enough. You want to steal my sister-in-law? Let me tell you, my sister-in-law only has me as her sister, and no one else can take her away." She had barely finished speaking when she remembered Ren Baobei from the provincial capital. She turned to Shen Yuzhu, "Right, sister-in-law?"
Shen Yuzhu: "...Hmm!"
That look in her eyes—you couldn't disagree!
Zhao Yue was overjoyed and clung to Shen Yuzhu's arm tightly. Before long, someone ran over and said that someone was looking for Zhao Yue.
"Zhao Yue, your brother is here. He said he wants you to take your sister-in-law downstairs."
Shen Yuzhu wanted to cover her face. How long had it been before she started shouting? Wasn't she afraid of being laughed at?
"No, I'm not going. I don't have a brother like him. My sister-in-law just arrived, and he's already telling her to go home before she's even had a chance to settle in. What, is he some kind of landlord? Why should we listen to him?"
Everyone: "......"
Where did your sister-in-law come from if you didn't have a brother?
"Alright, I'm not leaving tonight, I'll stay at the guesthouse. Cong Sheng probably just finished the formalities, I need to go with him. Or you can stay with me tonight?"
Zhao Yue shook her head in distress; she had training tomorrow and probably couldn't go out.
Shen Yuzhu patted her shoulder and said, "Your brother has already submitted the marriage report and the application form for the family compound. Once the marriage report is approved, the family compound will be arranged soon. You can come to see me whenever you want, even every day. I'll cook you something delicious!"
"Really? Sister-in-law, are you going to join the army?"
She slapped her forehead as soon as she finished speaking, "Oh dear, I'm so stupid. Zhou Congsheng is such a cunning person. We're already married, how could he not lure you into his own bed? Hehehe... Sister-in-law, I'll be able to see you more often from now on, aren't you happy?"
".....happy."
Zhao Yue then happily escorted Shen Yuzhu downstairs.
After they left, Mu Qing suddenly leaned close to Bai Chunyang and asked, "Chunyang, doesn't Zhao Yue look like a complete idiot?"
Bai Chunyang: "...Very similar!"
Zhou Congsheng stood at the entrance of the female soldiers' dormitory, arms crossed, his mind filled with thoughts of a wonderful future. The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
Under the poplar tree, he leaned against the wall, the breeze ruffling the hem of his white shirt. In the hazy night, he looked like a painting, which caught Guan Yiting's eye. She gasped, and was completely stunned.
Shen Yuzhu and Zhao Yue came out of the dormitory, and Zhou Congsheng quickly went to greet them and took their hands.
Are you cold?
"It's not cold, Xiaoyue, you go back first. I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon, so you probably won't have time to talk to me. When you're on leave later, go to Xiangyang Production Team with Comrade Bai, and I'll cook you something delicious!"
"Okay, sister-in-law, you should go back and rest. I'll come visit you as soon as I have a holiday."
Zhou Congsheng tugged at Shen Yuzhu. She was leaving tomorrow, and he didn't want her to waste a single second on someone else, even if that person was his own sister.
Because he was in the army, he held Shen Yuzhu's hand for a short distance before quickly separating their hands and deliberately keeping a distance. However, he kept looking at Shen Yuzhu with an unstoppable smile on his face.
Guan Yiting felt a pang of pain in her heart, clenched her fists tightly, and looked at him with eyes full of resentment.
