After putting away the luggage, it was already getting late.

It’s winter now, and it gets dark quickly. The light outside the window has already dimmed.

Gu Qinglin looked at the woman beside him and said, "I'll take you to the cafeteria to get food and familiarize you with the route."

Shen Man nodded, and looked at the sky outside, "Okay, let's go early."

Go early and come back early, and you can catch up and take a nap.

On the way.

Gu Qinglin kept introducing her to the surrounding situation and told her about the situations of several nearby neighbors.

"The person who lives next door to us is Sister Yunxiang. She is warm-hearted and easy to get along with. She usually helps out neighbors when they have problems."

"There's also the old lady from the Yang family who lives across the street. She looks difficult to get along with, but in reality, if you don't provoke her, she generally won't conflict with others."

…

Shen Man listened quietly to Gu Qinglin talking about these things. After he finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that there was an empty yard next to theirs.

"Who will move into that place in the future?"

Gu Qinglin was stunned for a moment, remembering what he heard from his comrades at noon today, that Lu Zhengguo's mother had already boarded the vehicle bound for the army, and it was estimated that she would be here in a few days.

If Lu Zhengguo applied for a house, he might actually live near them, and they would be seen often in the future.

Gu Qinglin pursed his lips and said, "No one has applied yet, so I don't know."

Shen Man asked casually and didn't take it seriously.

"Let's go. I'm starving to death."

Gu Qinglin smiled and said, "We'll be there soon."

The army cafeteria is not far from the family compound, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.

Soon, the two arrived there. They had originally planned to eat in the cafeteria, but there were too many people in the cafeteria, and many eyes were fixed on Shen Man.

She was not used to being watched by so many people while eating, so she ordered a few dishes to eat at home.

After Gu Qinglin sent her back, he gave her some instructions and then returned to his dormitory.

After all, they haven't gotten married yet, so he can't stay here forever.

Shen Man returned to her new house again. The water tank was full, the thermos was filled with hot water, and there were even a few packs of her favorite cakes and White Rabbit milk candies on the table.

All the details can make people feel warm.

Shen Man opened a White Rabbit candy, put it in her mouth and ate it. It was so sweet that it seemed to be sweet enough to penetrate into one's heart.

She unpacked the meal she had just prepared.

The top dish is the delicious sweet and sour pork ribs, followed by scrambled eggs and white rice.

It smells so good that it makes me hungry.

After dinner, Shen Man washed up with hot water from the kettle. Just as she was about to go to bed, she suddenly realized that the quilt cover was the big red dragon and phoenix quilt cover she saw at the supply and marketing cooperative in the town yesterday.

Just looking at the color makes me feel so festive.

Because Gu Qinglin said he had already prepared it, she did not buy any more at that time. Unexpectedly, he secretly went back and bought the quilt cover.

Shen Man sat on the bed, touching the bright red quilt cover in her hand, which was obviously made of good fabric. She hesitated for a moment, and finally took out another quilt cover from her luggage and changed it.

After all, these are things prepared for the wedding, so I'll change them the day after tomorrow.

The day dawned, and it was the night before their wedding.

Gu Qinglin took into consideration that Shen Man didn't know many people here, and tomorrow was their wedding day, so he found Sister Yunxiang who lived next door and went to her house to talk to her.

Sister Yunxiang's husband was also acquainted with Gu Qinglin. Although they were not familiar with each other, they could still talk to each other. Therefore, when he mentioned this, Sister Yunxiang agreed to come down.

After dinner that afternoon, she went to see Shen Man.

"So, you two are getting married tomorrow, are you nervous?"

Shen Manwei paused while weaving her sweater, her face slightly flushed, "I am a little nervous, but it's okay."

In her past and present lives, she had experienced such a marriage before, and there was no one familiar around her, so she was naturally confused and nervous.

However, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing to be nervous about.

Even if they couldn't get along after marriage, they could just divorce. Anyway, with the money she had and the reform and opening up in the next few years, it would be enough for her to divorce and still live a good life.

Sister Yunxiang looked at Shen Man's blushing face and couldn't help but be distracted for a moment, "Xiao Shen, you have such a handsome face. A woman would be moved when she sees it."

"Tomorrow night, Captain Gu will definitely hold you tightly. Under the dim light, it will be hard to see him. With his physique as a soldier, you will probably suffer."

"But it will only be uncomfortable at the beginning. Let him go slowly. Don't be reckless. Slowly get used to it, and you will feel comfortable."

Sister Yunxiang leaned close to Shen Man's ear and whispered, "These are all my past experiences. I will teach you all of them tonight. You must enjoy it tomorrow night."

"From what I can see, Captain Gu is not a rude person. You should be able to enjoy your first night."

Shen Man's face flushed instantly, and she lowered her head slightly to avoid Sister Yunxiang's gaze, "Sister, what are you talking about? Don't say it, your face is red."

Sister Yunxiang gave her a blank look and said, "What's the big deal? This is what happens to all women when they get married. I'll tell you more so that you can suffer less tomorrow night."

"On the night of our wedding, my husband didn't know the seriousness of the matter at all. He clung to me like a wolf that had been naive for a long time and wouldn't let go."

"I couldn't even get out of bed the next day. We were in the countryside, and the whole family was crammed into a small yard. We could hear everything at night."

"But he is so aggressive and has no privacy at all, and the whole family can hear everything."

"I was just like you now, thin-skinned and embarrassed. But now I think it's nothing. Everyone who gets married has to go through this. If others hear about it, they hear about it. It won't hurt anything."

Shen Man was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked towards the room.

"Sister-in-law, is this room...soundproof?"

She didn't want everything she said to be heard clearly by the people next door.

Sister Yunxiang waved her hands, winked and smiled, "Don't worry, our small courtyard is not like those newly built buildings. As long as you don't break the bed at night, it's basically okay."

"But if your head gu is too powerful, I can't guarantee it. After all, your brother-in-law is older now, and he is not as good as before. I haven't tried it, so I naturally dare not guarantee it to you."

Shen Man: “…”

She'd better not listen to such private matters.

Sister Yunxiang covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay, okay, I won't tell you."

"It's getting late now, so go back first and I'll come back to accompany you tomorrow morning."

After the people left.

Shen Man finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before going to bed, she thought she would not be able to sleep, after all, she was getting married tomorrow, but she didn't expect that she would fall asleep soon after lying in bed.

She drifted off to sleep.

It was not until the next morning when Sister Yunxiang knocked on the door that Shen Man got up from the bed, changed her clothes, washed and packed up...

"Have some meat buns first. They were sent to you by your family's head patron early this morning. They are still warm."

"He really loves you. Whose groom is running over here early in the morning to bring food to his new bride?"
