Lu Ye had a house in the military compound. It was originally only one room, and he didn't cook, so it was more than enough for him to live in. After submitting his marriage report, he asked the General Affairs Office to take over the empty room next door, and he cleaned it up.

One room was used as a bedroom, and one was used as a dining room and living room. He also bought new furniture and decorated it beautifully, waiting for Ruan Qiqi to move in.

They first went back to Lu Ye's residence. He lived in the staff building, in the same compound as Lu Desheng.

However, Lu Desheng and Mo Qiufeng were of higher status and lived in a Western-style house with a courtyard, while Lu Ye lived in a four-story family building. His room was on the third floor, and the stairs were on the left, leading to the two innermost rooms.

There were stoves all over the corridor, and a lot of clothes were hung out to dry. In the open space downstairs, several women were sitting and chatting, while they all had work in their hands.

Some were picking vegetables, some were knitting sweaters, some were sewing shoe soles, some were mending clothes... their hands and mouths never stopped, and they were all chatting very enthusiastically.

When they saw Lu Ye and Ruan Qiqi approaching from afar, they were all stunned. They wanted to ask but didn't dare to. Lu Ye was well-known throughout the military region for his bad temper.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, is this beautiful girl your girlfriend?"

A brave military wife mustered up the courage to ask.

"I am your cousin, and I am giving you wedding candy!"

Lu Ye was in a particularly good mood today, with a smile on his face. He also grabbed a handful of wedding candy and shared it with them.

"Oh, congratulations to Deputy Battalion Commander Lu. We didn't know about this, or we would have gone to the wedding banquet no matter what."

"Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, you two are truly a perfect match, made in heaven!"

"I wish Deputy Battalion Commander Lu a son soon!"

The auspicious words from the women came one after another, as if they were free of charge. Lu Ye was so delighted that his face was as bright as a flower. He grabbed a handful of wedding candies and distributed them to them.

Ruan Qiqi stood beside them, smiling slightly and not saying anything. She looked like a quiet and introverted girl.

Several military wives thought so, and they were worried that she would not be able to subdue Lu Ye in the future. When Deputy Battalion Commander Lu went crazy, even the commander could not withstand him. Such a gentle and timid girl, with thin arms and legs, could not even beat Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's little finger!

Ruan Qiqi smiled at them and said politely, "Hello, sisters-in-law, please take care of me in the future!"

"Hello sister, please take care of each other in the future!"

Several women were very enthusiastic. The youngest among them was already thirty years old. They looked at the young Ruan Qiqi as if she were their own daughter.

After the two of them went upstairs, a woman sighed and said worriedly, "This girl speaks so softly, she must be timid, she will suffer in the future!"

"Hush, keep your voice down. If Deputy Battalion Commander Lu hears you, you'll be in big trouble!"

The other women were startled and subconsciously looked upstairs, fearing that Lu Ye would hear them.

The women were only worried for a few minutes. After all, they were not familiar with Ruan Qiqi and had a lot of troubles in their own families. They didn't have the energy to meddle in other people's affairs. However, they were very curious about Ruan Qiqi.

"She is so fair and pretty, she must be a girl from the city. Deputy Battalion Commander Lu is so good, it is impossible for him to date a girl from the countryside."

"I don't know what her job is, but she looks quite educated."

"People with high education can find jobs easily and get high salaries. We are not like that. We have no education and can only sit at home and receive subsidies!"

"Be content, at least you get a subsidy every month, and your children's household registration has been changed from rural to non-rural. Unlike me, I don't even know when I can officially join the army!"

A woman in her thirties smiled bitterly and sighed.

The other women all looked annoyed and tried to comfort her: "Shuhua, your Captain Peng is so capable, he might be promoted next year, and then you and your mother can officially join the army."

"Thank you for your good words!"

The woman named Shuhua smiled. Although she said this, she didn't hold much hope.

Her husband had been a company commander for six years. He was already 34 years old, but had only 12 years of military service and did not meet the requirements to accompany the army.

Now she either has to wait for promotion or wait another three years. She thinks the latter has a better chance of success. After all, she can see the end of three years, while the chance of promotion is too slim.

[In the 1970s, there were three conditions for accompanying the army: deputy battalion level, 35 years of age or older, and 15 years of military service. Meeting the deputy battalion level was not affected by the last two conditions, but if the level did not reach the deputy battalion level, the last two conditions had to be met at the same time to be able to accompany the army.]

"Deputy Battalion Commander Lu is so lucky to be able to join the army at such a young age."

Everyone was deeply moved and envied Ruan Qiqi very much.

Ruan Qiqi, who was envied by everyone, was being pressed down on the bed by Lu Ye and making love with him, under the euphemism of making love in the bridal chamber.

Because Lu Ye said that this was their new house and the one in Ruanjiawan didn’t count.

Ruan Qiqi was too lazy to correct him. If he was greedy, he had to find so many excuses. But she was also greedy. After all, they were still in the period of honeymoon and were in love with each other. She was not tired of that kind of thing yet.

Because they were going to Lu Desheng's place in the evening, the two of them restrained themselves and only did it for two hours.

Lu Ye went to boil some hot water for Ruan Qiqi to take a bath, and he himself went to take a cold shower.

An hour later, the two men brought a bag of mugwort cakes and millet cakes, ten of each, and went to visit Lu Desheng.

The corridor was very lively. The military wives were cooking and the air was filled with the aroma of various dishes.

Ruan Qiqi saw a few women downstairs, greeted them, and said that she wanted to go to her father-in-law's house for dinner.

After they left, other military wives started asking around and found out that she was Lu Ye's cousin and Commander Lu's daughter-in-law. They were envious and jealous again.

When we arrived at Lu's house, it was already dark. The gate was not closed and opened easily when we pushed it.

Ruan Qiqi went to check the growth of the vegetables immediately and shook her head as she saw that the seedlings were very thin and all of them were malnourished.

Lu Desheng and Lin Manyun were just about to have dinner. There was a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a soup on the table. As soon as they picked up the chopsticks, they heard Ruan Qiqi's voice.

"We're back!"

Lin Manyun's face changed drastically and she felt a dull pain in her heart.

Lu Desheng's temple also began to hurt reflexively.

They lived a very comfortable life these days. The sky was blue, the air was fresh, the flowers were fragrant, and they ate well and slept well every day. It was so good that they even forgot about Ruan Qiqi.

"Lao Lu, my heart hurts. I don't want to eat anymore."

Lin Manyun's face looked very ugly. This time she was not pretending. She was really in pain and angry.

She stood up and was about to go back to her room to hide from the God of Plague, when she saw Ruan Qiqi walking in, followed by Lu Ye.

"It's time to eat. Lu Ye and I haven't eaten yet. Let's eat together!"

Ruan Qiqi treated him as if he was at home, not being polite at all. He went to the kitchen and got two bowls of rice, even scraping off the rice crusts.

"There's too little rice and vegetables, not enough for us to eat. How about cooking some more?"

Ruan Qiqi looked at Lin Manyun and grinned at her.

"I'm not feeling well. If you want to eat, cook for yourself."

Lin Manyun's face became even uglier. She was not a maid, so why should she cook for these two crazy people?

"Forget it, Lu Ye, let's go to your stepfather's house to eat later. Just say you didn't eat enough at your biological father's house. Let's bring these local specialties to your stepfather as well."

Ruan Qiqi had just put the gift on the table, and now she took it down and placed it at her feet, and would take it away after dinner.

Lu Desheng's temples were throbbing. If these two rebellious sons really went to eat at Mo Qiufeng's, he would lose all his face. He would definitely be ridiculed by that woman Yuan Huilan, saying that he couldn't even afford a meal!

"Man Yun, go cook, make more!"

Lu Desheng gave the order with a fierce look on his face, his tone brooking no room for refusal.

No matter how unhappy Lin Manyun was, she dared not disobey and had to go to the kitchen to cook. She did not dare to do less, so she cooked a big pot of rice and five dishes, including bacon and cured fish. While cooking, she felt so angry that her heart ached and she wanted to spit in the dishes.

"You don't want to spit, do you?"

A faint voice came from behind her, and Lin Manyun was so scared that she almost dropped the spatula. She turned around and saw Ruan Qiqi clinging to the door frame. She hated this crazy girl so much that she wanted to kill her with a spatula.

[The third update is finished. From now on, it will be a day of trouble. Good night, have a sweet dream]
