"Sister Xiaoqing, you seem a little weird."

Xu Jinling said quickly, "You are wrong, Jin'er. Your attitude towards Mr. Sheng's wife doesn't seem like that of a fellow villager. Instead, it seems like you are right, um..."

Dongfang Xiaoqing pursed her lips and smiled. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Xu Jinling say,

"You look at her like she's treating your daughter-in-law for the first time. Hahahaha, Xiaoqing, your son is only three and a half years old. Captain Sheng's wife is handsome and well-dressed. I like her, but she's already taken. We can't do anything to ruin a military marriage."

After Xu Jinling finished half-jokingly, Dongfang Xiaoqing's face naturally became more serious, and she continued: "I like Xinyue too much, so I want to give her all the delicious food. Besides, my family's Mr. Li likes Captain Sheng the most. I am here to love the house on behalf of Mr. Li."

Dongfang Xiaoqing handed the small bowl to Zhan Xinyue, asked her to eat slowly, and then returned to sit next to Li Xiangqiang.

"Thank you for your hard work, my wife. Come, comrades, you went out and saved a very important person. The commander of the Haishi Military Region called to praise you. I am very happy for you. As your brigade commander, I am also very proud. Each of you will be awarded a third-class merit. Tomorrow morning, I will announce it to the entire army."

Li Xiangqiang raised his glass and said, "Cheers."

When Li Xiangqiang stood up, the people at the two tables had already stood up. They raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

"Okay, comrades, I'll give you half a day off. You can eat and drink as much as you want during this meal. As long as you don't get drunk and start a fight, you can drink as much as you want." Li Xiangqiang sat back in his chair.

"Hahaha," Li Erhu took a sip of wine. Hearing the joy of the third-class merit, he couldn't control his emotions and laughed excitedly, "Brigade Commander, don't worry, I will fall asleep when I'm drunk. I will only snore and won't hit anyone."

Li Hu couldn't bear to watch it, so he pulled his silly brother.

Li Xiangqiang said with a smile, "We should just relax and not be too reserved when we eat and drink together at the welcoming banquet."

The chief of staff simply walked over to Li Hu's table, holding a glass of wine and said, "You drink without making trouble and just sleep, which shows that you have good drinking habits. Come, let me toast to you comrades and congratulate you on your third-class merit."

Everyone stood up immediately and drank from their glasses.

In their own territory, the warriors enjoyed their meal. Sheng Tunan drank wine and occasionally gave Zhan Xinyue a piece of abalone and a spoonful of crystal shrimp.

Dongfang Xiaoqing calmed down a lot. Seeing that Zhan Xinyue was being taken care of by Sheng Tunan, she resisted the urge to pick up some food for her. She just scooped a bowl of soup for her and told lesbians that drinking more soup would be good for their skin.

Zhan Xinyue smiled and thanked him. Dongfang Xiaoqing quickly said, "Xinyue, you're new here. If your family needs anything, tell me and I'll take you to buy it."

"Thank you, Aunt Xiaoqing." Zhan Xinyue still smiled and thanked her, but she was full of doubts. When Dongfang Xiaoqing first met her, she was obviously so nervous that she avoided her. Now her attitude has changed 180 degrees, which is definitely abnormal.

Li Xiangqiang had been drinking with the chief of staff and Sheng Tunan, but his eyes had never left Dongfang Xiaoqing. He drank a glass of wine thoughtfully and decided to take a break in the afternoon and have a good talk with his wife.

After eating and drinking, everyone went home.

Sheng Tunan was the group leader and was assigned an independent courtyard on the island. There were three rooms, a living room in the middle, a bedroom on the east and west sides, a dining room, and a kitchen at a 90-degree angle.

It is worth mentioning that there is an independent bathroom with a flush toilet. "Don't curse, don't curse, flush toilets existed before liberation."

Zhan Xinyue toured the room from front to back. There were not many furnitures in the room, but it was clean and tidy, with bright windows and desks. There were also curtains with a print of a panda eating bamboo.

Sheng Tunan said apologetically: "Xinyue, this house is a bit shabby. You have suffered with me."

"I think it's good. I like the sea, and I am satisfied to live by the sea. And there is a bathroom, which is very convenient."

Zhan Xinyue drank and was not as shy as usual. Instead, she was clingy. She hugged the man's strong waist and said softly, "I checked. The floor of the bathroom is still new. Did you tidy it up the last time you came back?"

"Yeah." Sheng Tunan was 25 centimeters taller than Zhan Xinyue. He picked up his relatively petite wife and kissed her lips: "Can we take a shower together? Let's see if the bathroom is easy to use?"

Because he was getting married, Sheng Tunan not only renovated the bathroom, but also bought curtains. In the past, as a single man with a small yard around him, he was not afraid of being seen.

Now that such a beautiful daughter-in-law has moved in, her privacy must be protected. Even if the spring scenery is infinitely beautiful, it can only be appreciated by one person.

I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so theoretically I could take a bath, but Zhan Xinyue thought that it was not good to indulge in sexual intercourse during the day, and that drinking too much and then doing strenuous exercise would harm the body.

Fortunately, Sheng Tunan listened to the advice and would not force his wife. He took a cold shower alone, packed the luggage with Zhan Xinyue, spread new sheets, and wanted to hug his wife for a nap.

Zhan Xinyue was afraid of heat. There was only a fan but no air conditioning at home. It was very hot in the island, and if she slept with this big white kid in her arms, she would sweat even with the fan on. She quickly ran to another room to rest.

Sheng Tunan felt a little disappointed because he didn't have a wife to hug him, but he was more afraid that Zhan Xinyue would get too hot, so he moved the fan to the next room, found a long rattan chair, and slept under the big tree behind the house.

On Sunday, Li Yuchen was in kindergarten, and the relatives who had been invited to the kindergarten went to the market. No one was at home, so it was a good time to tell a secret.

As soon as Dongfang Xiaoqing got home, she said to Li Xiangqiang, who had come back with her and was drunk but not drunk at all, "Old Li, I have something very important to tell you."

Li Xiangqiang sat down, made himself a cup of tea to sober up, took a sip, and asked, "Are you going to say that Comrade Zhan Xinyue is your daughter?"
