"Sis, I didn't expect you to arrive so early."
Mao Xiangling greeted Xia Enruo, and she noticed Yuan Qiang, whose military green uniform was particularly eye-catching.
"Xiangling, we just arrived too. Let me introduce you. This is my husband's comrade-in-arms, Yuan Qiang."
Yuan Qiang stepped forward and extended his hand.
"Hello, comrade, my name is Yuan Qiang."
Mao Xiangling put down the thermos and shook hands with him. The moment they touched, Yuan Qiang felt as if he had been electrocuted.
"Hello, PLA comrade, my name is Mao Xiangling."
Yuan Qiang was stunned. He held Mao Xiangling's hand tightly and wouldn't let go. Mao Xiangling felt a little shy when she saw him staring at her, and she forcefully pulled her hand out of his grasp.
"Ah...ah, Comrade Mao Xiangling, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Xia Enruo watched from the side, and when Yuan Qiang saw that Mao Xiangling was about to do something foolish, he quickly went to help her.
"Xiangling, how's the injury on your hand?"
"Sis. I feel much better today. The pain is gone. I went to the school hospital this morning to change the dressing. Some of it has already scabbed over. It should be fine after another week of rest."
Yuan Qiang also noticed that one of her hands was wrapped in bandages, and wondered what kind of injury she had suffered.
"Xiangling, the clothes are washed, take a look."
Xia Enru spread out the clothes, and Mao Xiangling grabbed at them.
"Sister, you're so clean. Hmm, there's even a faint fragrance when the wind blows."
"Girl, if you think it's good, then it means my skills weren't wasted."
Xia Enru folded the clothes and said.
"Sis, I knew you were a reliable person from the first moment I saw you yesterday. I have two more pairs of pants with me, I'll bring them over to you in a bit, you still can't get your hands wet these days."
"Xiangling, bring it here. I won't charge you; consider it a favor by acknowledging you as my sister. Are you carrying a thermos to get hot water?"
Xia Enruo saw the thermos that Mao Xiangling had placed on the ground and asked.
"Yeah, I'll bring some hot water back to the dorm."
"Isn't this an opportunity?" Xia Enruo quickly pushed Yuan Qiang over.
"Xiangling, your hands are not good, it's really difficult for you to carry both clothes and a thermos. Let Yuan Qiang help you carry the thermos to fetch water, it's a good way to promote the helpful spirit of the People's Liberation Army."
Mao Xiangling felt a little embarrassed. How could she ask someone for help when they had just met?
"No need, Yuan Qiang. I can do it, I'm not that dramatic."
Yuan Qiang had already picked up the thermos and Mao Xiangling's clothes, and said.
"Xiangling, don't refuse. Your hand is injured, let me help you. Isn't it true that you should turn to the People's Liberation Army when you're in trouble?"
Seeing Yuan Qiang like this, Mao Xiangling felt strange.
"this……"
Seeing her fidgeting, Xia Enruo quickly continued the conversation.
"Stop with all that. Let Yuan Qiang help you. Go on, I'll wait for you two here. Yuan Qiang has never been to the medical university before. Xiangling, you give him a good introduction to the beautiful campus scenery."
Mao Xiangling stopped talking and led Yuan Qiang toward the water room.
Xia Enruo watched the two figures walk away, and they really did look like a couple.
"Time to bring in the laundry! Time to bring in the laundry!"
Xia Enruo was still standing in the same old spot. She would be selling boxed lunches at the school gate tomorrow. She had been there for two days and many students were familiar with her. They would come over and deliver clothes to her.
As soon as Yuan Qiang and his companion left, Xia Enruo began taking orders one after another.
Along the way, Yuan Qiang walked beside Mao Xiangling, looking incredibly energetic. Standing over 1.8 meters tall with a buzz cut and an upright posture, he was an attractive sight wherever he went.
"All the students are looking at you. People's Liberation Army soldiers rarely come to our school."
Mao Xiangling said.
"Maybe it's something new to them. By the way, Xiangling, how old are you this year? I'm 26."
Yuan Qiang introduced himself.
I am 21 years old.
Mao Xiangling returned.
"21 is good, you're young."
Yuan Qiang stammered at this point, unsure of what to say next.
"You're so funny. We're only 5 years apart, but you're making it sound like you're old. We should both be young."
Mao Xiangling turned her head and smiled at Yuan Qiang.
"By the way, after you get the water, could you tell me about your school? It's my first time here."
"Okay, but our school is very small and there's nothing special about it."
.................
Gu Shaoxuan was helping his wife look at clothes at home, and he sat by the door, not daring to be distracted at all.
Tian Xiuli came out to pour water and saw Gu Shaoxuan sitting at the door like a door god. It was really strange. He wasn't like this before. He would always come home coldly, go into the house, and not come out to say a word.
"Chief of Staff Gu, are you sunbathing?"
Tian Xiuli came over to greet her.
"Sister-in-law, I'm watching over Enruo's clothes, afraid they'll blow to the ground in the wind."
Upon hearing this, Tian Xiuli was truly surprised. Chief of Staff Gu had taken the initiative to help Xia En with so many tasks, which was unprecedented. Xia En had worked so hard for so long, and it was clear that he had earned genuine affection with his sincerity.
"That's wonderful. We're happy to see you two so loving."
Gu Shaoxuan knew that Tian Xiuli had lent his family the cart, which saved Xia Enruo a lot of effort. However, he felt a little embarrassed that his family was using other people's things all the time, so he decided to buy it for Xia Enruo instead.
"Sister-in-law, I haven't had a chance to thank you yet. Your family lent Xia Enruo their cart, which saved her a lot of effort when she came to collect the clothes."
"Chief of Staff Gu, Xia has helped me before. Neighbors should help each other."
Gu Shaoxuan felt increasingly relieved to hear that Xia Enruo was getting along better and better with her neighbors.
I remember when she first came, every time I entered the compound, she would complain to me about Xia Enruo, saying that she wasn't the one who did it. My head was throbbing with frustration.
