Lu Shishen stood straight, and his long legs made his military uniform look particularly good. He was simply a walking clothes rack. Seeing him gradually approaching towards them, Yang Niannian actually felt a little uncomfortable, and her chest was pounding like a deer.

Before he even got close to them, Zhou Bingxing asked in a loud voice, "Why are you not cooking at home? What are you doing here?"

"I brought Nian Nian here to see the vegetable garden. We'll sow some vegetable seeds here so that it will be convenient to eat vegetables." Wang Fengjiao replied.

Zhou Bingxing glanced at the thin Yang Niannian and felt that her small body could not lift the hoe at all. He didn't say it in front of Lu Shishen and Yang Niannian.

Lu Shishen's eyes fell on Yang Niannian. Seeing her thin waist and slender wrists, he said calmly, "If you don't know how to grow vegetables, I'll ask the buyers to bring them back if you want to eat them."

Zhou Bingxing thought, see, the regiment commander has the same idea as him, and feels that Yang Niannian’s small body is not capable of wielding a hoe.

People in the countryside say that when looking for a wife, you should look for a strong one, and there is some truth to this.

Yang Niannian is pretty, but it’s a pity that she can only be a vase. His wife is still better.

Although Zhou Bingxing was reluctant to let his wife do heavy work, he always felt that his wife was good.

"I have Master Wang to teach me. If there is anything I don't know, I can ask her."

Wang Fengjiao was so happy to be coaxed by Yang Niannian that she assured him, "Captain Lu, don't worry. I am good at growing vegetables and I promise to teach Nian Nian a lesson."

Seeing his wife happy, Zhou Bingxing also grinned, "Captain, let's just ignore them and let them do what they want. They will be bored staying at home once the kids go to school."

A hint of deep meaning flashed in Lu Shishen's eyes but he didn't say anything. Coincidentally, Song Qiancheng and Sun Dashan also came back from the army. When they saw them here, they took the initiative to say hello.

Back at the family compound, everyone was more relaxed, meeting like old friends, without so many rules, and occasionally even cracking a few jokes.

However, Song Qiancheng and Lu Shishen were only friendly on the surface. They greeted each other when they met, but they had no interaction in private. Song Qiancheng even had some opinions about Lu Shishen.

There are many reasons for this, but the bottom line is that he originally stood on the side of Sun Dashan. Who would have thought that Sun Dashan had been in the army for quite a while, but he didn't make any achievements to move up.

However, Lu Shishen has extraordinary abilities, and I don’t know if he is lucky, but he makes great achievements every time he goes on a mission and becomes the team leader at a young age.

Seeing the two walking away, Wang Fengjiao rolled her eyes and said, "Deputy Battalion Commander Song didn't even talk to Ye Meijing properly. She is so evil that she ruined a good vegetable plot."

Zhou Bingxing was just about to go home when he heard his wife's words and asked casually, "Whose vegetable garden did you destroy?"

"It's Captain Lu's." Wang Fengjiao told the whole story from beginning to end. "You said she occupied someone else's vegetable garden. Is that right? She would rather destroy it than give it to Nian Nian."

Hearing this, Lu Shishen frowned but said nothing.

Zhou Bingxing frowned. He was not in a position to get involved in women's affairs, but he also felt that Ye Meijing had gone too far. "Niannian is new here and she is still young. You should take care of her more and don't let her get bullied."

"Need I say more?" Wang Fengjiao glared at him in reproach.

Yang Niannian smiled and continued, "Sister Wang treats me like a younger sister and is usually very nice to me."

The four of them quickly arrived at Zhou Bingxing's house. He and Wang Fengjiao entered the yard, and Yang Niannian followed Lu Shishen home. This time he deliberately slowed down his pace, so it was not so difficult for Yang Niannian to follow.

Lu Shishen looked down at Yang Niannian, who was shorter than him and only reached his shoulders, and said calmly, "As long as you are right, you don't have to be afraid of anyone. If anything goes wrong, I will take care of it."

If anything goes wrong, he will be responsible.

It was a rather plain sentence, but to Yang Niannian's ears, it sounded better than any love words. This man looked cold and indifferent, but in fact, he was quite caring.

Yang Niannian couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and stared at him with her eyebrows curved, and deliberately asked, "What if I am wrong? Are you going to join others in criticizing me?"

Lu Shishen had never been in contact with girls. Faced with such a tricky question, he just answered truthfully according to his inner thoughts, "If you don't understand, go home and close the door. I will explain the reason to you and will not criticize you in front of outsiders."

If his daughter-in-law makes a mistake, he will teach her to correct it, and it is not the right of others to humiliate or bully her.

Seeing Lu Shishen's serious expression, Yang Niannian almost laughed to death, her eyes curved into crescents, "I'm going to cook. An An will be hungry when she comes back later."

I don’t know why Yang Niannian was smiling so happily. Her smile was like a ray of sunshine reflected into Lu Shishen’s chest, and his whole heart was warm.

He followed Yang Niannian into the kitchen and saw Yang Niannian preparing to steam rice. He rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to help wash the vegetables. Yang Niannian took a small piece of bacon and threw it into the basin, asking him to wash it together.

She whispered, "You're training in the army is hard, and An An is still growing, so you can't live without meat. You can wear worse clothes, but you can't eat too bad."

"My allowance plus various subsidies make 100 yuan a month. You don't have to be so frugal, and you don't have to care what others say. Just spend what you need to spend."

Lu Shishen put the washed bacon on the cutting board, picked up the kitchen knife and cut the bacon into small pieces. The shriveled bacon was like cutting a carrot in his hands.

Yang Niannian was secretly glancing at Lu Shishen's arm. When she heard that his allowance was so high, she was so surprised that her mouth opened wide.

You know, the average salary of employees in Ancheng factory is only about 20 yuan, and some technical workers only make 40 or 50 yuan a month. Lu Shishen actually makes 100 yuan a month. No wonder he could send 20 yuan to Yang Huiying every month before.

Pork costs 90 cents per pound in the market. Considering Lu Shishen's salary level, it's okay for his family to eat meat every day.

Thinking that Lu Shishen didn't seem to have much expenses on a daily basis, Yang Niannian blinked, "Your allowance is so high, don't you save a lot of money?"

Lu Shishen thought that Yang Niannian suspected that he had hidden a secret stash of money, so he explained, "The allowance for being a group leader is only this much. The money before that was sent back to my hometown to build a house."

That’s right. Wasn’t it all Lu Shishen who sent back the money that the Lu family gave to Yang Huiying before?

Thinking of this, Yang Niannian felt a little sad again, and she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Lu Shishen didn't know why she was so lively just now and became so listless again after just a few words.

He rarely took the initiative to find a topic, "What kind of small business are you planning to start?"

Speaking of this, Yang Niannian was also a little puzzled, "I haven't thought about it yet, let's go around the city tomorrow and take a look."

Lu Shishen's eyes fell on Yang Niannian's clothes. Her clothes were so white from washing that they had frayed edges on the cuffs. It seemed that she had worn these clothes for at least three or four years.

He frowned and said, "Let's buy two sets of clothes."

I heard that it is popular to have three big items when getting married in his hometown. He and Yang Niannian did not hold a wedding and did not give a betrothal gift. After all, he was treating her unfairly in terms of etiquette.

Yang Niannian was just about to speak when she heard hurried footsteps outside. She looked up and saw Li Fengyi running towards her in a hurry.

Seeing Lu Shishen cooking, Li Fengyi was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly remembered that he had something important to do, "Captain, the old leader has something urgent to ask you."
