Chapter 55: Enthusiastic Sister-in-law He, Neighborly Relationship



"Oh my god! Is that Captain Lu and his wife? That truckload of new furniture, holy shit, how much is that going to cost?"

"It must be several thousand at least!"

"I really didn't expect that Commander Lu, who usually seems cold and unapproachable, would be so doting on his wife. He bought a whole carload of things as soon as he arrived."

"Come on, let's hurry over and help..."

Seeing Lu Lingxiao driving away, the people who had gathered together to gossip ran towards the staff quarters.

When everyone arrived at the family compound, they were surprised to see that there were rare and large items such as a television, a washing machine, and a sewing machine in the car.

Oh my God!

Commander Lu is really spoiling his wife!

Look at those rare items, which one of them doesn’t make you jealous!

However--

When everyone saw Qingfeng Zhiyi's face, they suddenly came to their senses.

No wonder Commander Lu dotes on his wife.

So he married a beautiful young woman!

However, this girl looks really young, probably only sixteen or seventeen years old, not even an adult yet. In that case, Commander Lu is like an old cow eating young grass.

With such a large age gap between them, shouldn't they spoil each other a bit?

Feng Zhiyi naturally felt the scrutinizing gazes behind her.

It's actually quite complicated, to be honest.

Some were simply curious, some were envious, some were shocked and surprised, and some were... jealous and envious.

Although there were only a few envious and jealous glances, they gave Feng Zhiyi a sense of what was going on. This kind of person was not easy to get along with. In the future, she would just greet him when they met, and there was no need to get too close.

"Captain Lu, you're back? We just saw you pulling a cart of stuff back from the playground, so we thought we'd come over to lend a hand."

An enthusiastic voice rang out from the crowd. As soon as the voice fell, Ma Dazui walked forward in three or two steps.

"Sister-in-law He".

After recognizing the person, Lu Lingxiao gave a brief greeting and said, "I've already sent someone to call Qin An and the others. They'll be here in a bit. Sister-in-law He, why don't you get to know Zhiyi first? These are all large items, so we won't need your help."

Upon hearing this, Ma Dazui immediately said, "Alright! Then I'll talk to Zhiyi first and get to know each other."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhiyi quickly helped Lu Ziheng to his feet and then turned to Ma Dazui, greeting him with a smile, "Sister-in-law He."

Ma Dazui immediately replied with a smile, "Hey, Zhiyi, I think you're not very old, so we'll call you Zhiyi from now on. My name is Ma Hongying, and I'm the wife of He Jian'an, the battalion commander of the First Battalion. My husband happens to be in the regiment led by Regiment Commander Lu."

"From now on, we are all family members of the same regiment. If you have any problems in the family compound, feel free to come to me."

In fact, Ma Dazui's real name is Ma Hongying, but because she likes to gossip, the family members in the residential compound call her Ma Dazui.

However, she is a very nice person and is considered one of the easier family members to get along with in the compound.

But don't be fooled by her cheerful, straightforward, and enthusiastic demeanor; she's actually very protective of her family and children.

If anyone dares to bully her child or gossip about her behind her back, she will definitely be incredibly fierce and give those gossiping family members a good dressing down.

As soon as I see her, I hide.

Feng Zhiyi replied with a smile, "I'm new here and still quite unfamiliar with the environment. There are many things I don't understand, so I'll have to trouble Sister He to guide me in the future."

She had a good impression of Mrs. He and felt that she was a little different from other military wives.

How should I put it?

It’s just the first feeling that’s different.

"No problem! Leave this to me!"

Ma Hongying patted her chest and readily agreed.

She noticed that Feng Zhiyi had no airs of a regimental commander's wife and spoke in a gentle and soft manner, which instantly improved her opinion of Feng Zhiyi.

Unlike Jiang Qin from the Third Regiment, who was arrogant because her husband was the deputy commander of the Third Regiment and she was the deputy commander's wife, plus she was from the city.

They think they are all country folk with no culture.

Therefore, since Jiang Qin joined the army three or four years ago, she has only interacted with family members who are also from the city or with family members whose husbands hold higher positions than her husbands.

As for those of them who came from the countryside, let alone walking around with them, even if they bumped into each other on a regular day, people would simply turn their heads away and pretend they didn't see them.

"Sister-in-law He, wait for me a moment, I'm going back to the car to get something." After saying that, Feng Zhiyi turned around and got into the car.

She picked up a bag of fruit candies and a bag of peanuts from under her seat. She bought them at the department store just to give them to the family members so that everyone could share in her and Lu Lingxiao's joy.

When Feng Zhiyi came down carrying candy and peanuts, Qin An and the others arrived just then.

Seeing this, she had no choice but to hand the bag to Ma Hongying and ask her, "Sister-in-law, this is wedding candy that Ling Xiao and I are offering to everyone. Could you please help us distribute it while I go inside to help?"

"Okay, okay! Sister, you go ahead and do your work. Leave this to me." Ma Hongying was very straightforward and immediately responded with a smile.

But when he took the two bags of peanut candy, he couldn't help but secretly click his tongue.

Captain Lu and his wife are so generous!

She actually bought a whole bag of wedding candy and peanuts, which must have cost a lot of money. If it were her, she would definitely be heartbroken.

However, she just muttered a few words in her heart, picked up the peanuts and candies in her hand and started distributing them to the family members who came to watch the fun.

Feng Zhiyi glanced at the wedding candy and saw that Ma Hongying was distributing two candies and six peanuts to each person, which was very fair. She couldn't help but smile slightly.

He let Ziheng take his younger siblings to play in the yard and then went into the main room to help.

Feng Zhiyi also wanted to invite everyone into the house to sit down, but the house was empty and there was not even a stool, so she could only distribute some wedding candy to everyone outside to make it festive.

After Lu Lingxiao and his men unloaded and arranged the furniture from the car, they would invite several key members of the group and their families to their home for dinner the next day.

That's the rule.

Because every military spouse who comes to the military unit to accompany their husbands is required to invite everyone to their home for a housewarming meal so that they can get to know each other better and have better neighborly relations in the future.

......

Just as Feng Zhiyi was busy putting away the small items that Lu Lingxiao and the others had moved in, some minor friction occurred outside the yard.

The reason was that several military wives had many children at home, and they felt that the few candies given by Ma Hongying were not enough to fill their children's stomachs.

So I muttered a complaint, "That's so stingy!"

When Ma Hongying heard this, she immediately disagreed, "Feng Zhirong, Wang Qiuju, both of you, please explain clearly, who is stingy?"
