Yang Niannian also had a lot of things in her hands, and she felt embarrassed to buy more, but the two most important things were not bought yet, and she couldn't cook at home.

"Sister Wang, I haven't bought the coal stove and coal briquettes yet."

Wang Fengjiao led Yang Niannian back and said, "I have an old coal stove at home. You can use it first. Next time you come to the city, you can buy a stove core. My husband knows how to fix the stove. It is much better than the one we buy."

Yang Niannian's eyes lit up, "That's great, thank you, Sister Wang."

After walking around for more than an hour, Wang Fengjiao realized that Yang Niannian was a novice in life. She didn't know anything about prices and had little knowledge of life. Fortunately, Yang Niannian knew what was right and what was wrong and listened to advice, so she was happy to teach her more.

"It's too expensive to buy coal briquettes. I always buy coal and make them myself. My family bought 400 kilograms of coal. The weather was bad the past two days, so I haven't made any briquettes yet. I'll give you 200 kilograms when I get home. You can make some briquettes at noon and use them tomorrow."

Yang Niannian flattered Wang Fengjiao with a lot of compliments, making her happy, and gossiped with her about all the affairs of the sisters-in-law in the staff compound.

"Hongli is a two-faced person in the hospital. You can't trust what she says. Ye Meijing has been married for three or four years, but her stomach has not moved. She came back from her hometown yesterday after seeing a doctor..."

Yang Niannian was listening with great interest when the shopping cart arrived. Seeing that they had bought a lot of things, the soldier came down to help them carry the things into the car.

None of the three noticed that a military jeep drove past from behind.

The old leader sitting in the back seat of the jeep recognized Wang Fengjiao and asked Lu Shishen, "The girl with Wang Fengjiao looks a little unfamiliar. Whose family member is she?"

Lu Shishen sat upright, pursed his lips and answered, "Mine."

After a pause, he added, "My wife."

The old leader frowned, "Why does your wife look so different?" He had seen the photo of Lu Shishen in the marriage report, and she looked completely different from this girl.

The girl in the photo has regular features and a mature look, while this girl has a childish and pretty face. They are completely not the same person.

Lu Shishen did not hide it from the old leader, "The photo you saw before was her sister Yang Huiying."

The old leader was a sharp man, and he immediately realized that something was fishy. "Tell me what happened specifically."

"Her sister went to college and didn't want to marry me, so I forced her to marry me. She was the one who got the marriage certificate with me." Lu Shishen told the truth in a concise manner.

The old commander's face darkened. "When I heard your wife came to the army yesterday, I felt something was wrong."

She was studying at university, why did she suddenly come to join the army?

The old commander continued with a stern face, "It is illegal to cheat on a military marriage. How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Lu Shishen was the person favored by the old leader and was the successor he focused on training. Someone actually cheated into marriage and joined the army. As long as Lu Shishen said a word, this matter would be investigated to the end.

"She is also a victim in this incident. She stayed here last night and didn't leave. It has an impact on her reputation. I have to be responsible for her."

The image of Yang Niannian with tearful eyes appeared in Lu Shishen's mind, and his cold expression softened a little unconsciously.

The old chief glared at him angrily and snorted, "You usually act serious, but you suddenly become wise after seeing a beautiful wife. Why are you still talking about responsibility... Well, since you've taken a fancy to her, just live a good life and don't do anything that will affect your future."

He trained these soldiers himself, how could he not know what kind of people they are?

With Lu Shishen’s temper, if he didn’t like someone, he would have sent the person away yesterday.

"Yeah." Lu Shishen responded.

The old chief glanced at him. If the car wasn’t so small, he would have kicked Lu Shishen to vent his anger.

Thinking of Yang Niannian's childish face, the old leader asked seriously, "Have you reached adulthood?"

Lu Shishen replied, "She is twenty years old."

The old commander was silent for a while, then said with a serious expression, "We can't just let this go. Those who cheated in marriage and came to the army must be severely punished."

He was referring to Yang Huiying.

Lu Shishen pursed his lips and said, "Wait a minute, now is not the time."

…

"A-choo, A-choo..."

As soon as she got off the shopping cart, Yang Niannian sneezed several times in a row. Wang Fengjiao joked, "Captain Lu must be missing you."

Yang Niannian smiled innocently, "Sister Wang, please stop teasing me."

"I'm not kidding you. All newlyweds go through this. When my husband first got married, he never spoke loudly to me and even poured me water for washing my feet at night..." Wang Fengjiao's eyes narrowed into slits when she thought of the time when she first got married.

The two of them carried a bunch of stuff into the family compound. On the way, they met a few military wives who greeted them sourly, "Oh, you bought so many things. Wouldn't it cost Captain Lu a month's allowance?"

Wang Fengjiao continued, "We just got married and there's nothing at home, so don't we have to buy something?"

Several military wives curled their lips, and after the two men walked away, they whispered to each other, "Captain Lu's wife really knows how to spend money, and she doesn't know how to live at all."

"I think she's quite greedy, and what she's holding in her left hand seems to be a candy bar."

"There was a girl in our village who was as beautiful as her. But because she was greedy, she was cheated by the second-rate guy from the neighboring village who would buy her some food from time to time. Before she even got married, her belly got big..."

…

Wang Fengjiao helped Yang Niannian carry the things home, and then went back to bring the old stove over. "Niannian, you can use this stove first. When Bingxing comes back later, I'll ask him to bring the coal over."

"Thank you, Sister Wang."

Yang Niannian stuffed the candy into Wang Fengjiao's hand and said, "I bought a lot of candy. You can take some back for the children."

Wang Fengjiao is a kind-hearted person. She helps without expecting anything in return. But when she saw Yang Niannian was so capable, she felt a little embarrassed.

"No, no, save it for An An."

These days, everyone’s conditions are not good. Life is difficult. It’s good enough to have enough food and clothes. There is no money to buy snacks for the children.

Candy is a good thing in this day and age.

Wang Fengjiao is reluctant to buy it until the Chinese New Year.

Yang Niannian smiled sweetly, "Just think of this as the wedding candy I'm treating the children to."

After she said that, Wang Fengjiao couldn't refuse. It was almost noon, and she had to go back to cook for the children, so she didn't stay long.

Yang Niannian had just put the kitchen utensils in place when she heard a deafening sound of a tractor outside. She went out to check in confusion and saw a tractor parked outside the yard.

Two burly, dusty men jumped out of the car, looked at Yang Niannian and asked, "Is this Captain Lu's home?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Yang Niannian nodded in confusion.

Upon hearing this, the two of them said nothing more, picked up the bricks and unloaded them into the yard. Yang Niannian was confused, "Why are you delivering bricks?"

One of the men took the time to respond, "Build a toilet and a bathroom."

The tractor made a loud noise, and almost everyone in the surrounding area was alarmed. Several military wives came to join in the fun. When they heard that they were going to build a bathroom and a toilet, they were so envious that their eyes almost fell to the ground.

What kind of conditions are these? The bathroom and toilet are built into the yard.

This Yang Niannian is really pampered.

Before they had even finished their meal, word spread that Yang Niannian was unwilling to use the public toilet and bathroom, and was pestering Lu Shishen to build a toilet in the yard.
