When Lin Manzhi heard that the other party was rustic, her frustration suddenly disappeared.

Before Lu Shishen parachuted in, everyone congratulated her and said that her man would definitely get a promotion this time. She was humble in words but actually she was confident of success.

She was still hinting at her parents' and husband's families, waiting to celebrate once things were settled, but suddenly news came from the higher-ups that Lu Shishen had been transferred over to take up the position.

Within a few days of the news coming out, people came directly to the army.

Her husband's promotion was dashed, and she was depressed for a long time. She even threw a tantrum and ignored her husband. She didn't even want to go to the army to spend the New Year with her husband.

So, in order to make her happy, her husband spent more than two hundred yuan to buy her a woolen coat, and only then did she feel better.

Unexpectedly, just one or two months after Lu Shishen was transferred here, his wife came to visit.

Haha, you are so clingy, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?

Lin Manzhi was happy in her heart, but she pretended to be a good person on the surface.

"Maybe it's because I'm at home taking care of my kids and don't have the energy to dress up! In the first few years after I had my kids, I didn't have time to dress up because I had to take care of them. Now that my kids are older, I can let them do it and I feel a little more relaxed."

Lin Yinglian looked flattering, "Sister-in-law, you are too modest. It's not like I haven't seen you when you were pregnant and taking care of the child. Your figure was still in good shape at that time. When you went out, people would think you were not married."

Lin Manzhi was so happy to be praised that she took out a piece of date paste cake from the drawer, which made Xu Yinglian so happy that she ate one piece and wanted to have a second piece, but Lin Manzhi had no intention of letting her have any more.

Xu Yinglian licked the corner of her lips and walked out of the house, looking back every few steps.

…

'A-choo'

Yang Niannian suspected that she had caught a cold because she was sneezing frequently.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, she put down the newspaper and planned to go to the cafeteria to eat. However, when she opened the door, she met Zhao Fengnian who was about to knock on the door.

Zhao Fengnian was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and smiled with his big white teeth.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to bring you lunch. The captain won't be back until tomorrow, so I'll bring you dinner as well."

Yang Niannian didn't know anyone here, so when she met Zhao Fengnian again, she felt quite familiar with him.

He took the lunch box and said.

"Okay, thank you."

Zhao Fengnian touched his head and smiled, "Sister-in-law, do you have any other needs? If you need any daily necessities, I will bring them to you."

Yang Niannian shook her head, "Thank you, no thanks, I brought all my own toiletries."

Zhao Fengnian didn't say anything more. "Okay, sister-in-law, then you should go eat quickly! I'm going to eat too. The army has a time limit for eating. If you exceed the time limit, there will be no food. I'll come back later to get the lunch box."

"Then go quickly!" Yang Niannian didn't dare to waste his time.

After seeing him leave, she closed the door and sat in the room to eat.

There were two lunch boxes, one containing rice and the other containing braised pork and potatoes, as well as a few slices of sausage and evergreens. There were both meat and vegetarian options, and the taste was very good.

These meals would not be bad even in the 21st century.

She was indeed hungry. She ate up all the food. She went out for a walk before finding the bathroom to wash the dishes.

When she came back, she happened to meet Tao Hua who came up to look for her. With Tao Hua was also Captain Li's wife.

As soon as she saw Yang Niannian, Tao Hua happily introduced her.

"Big sister, she is Captain Li's wife Song Fen, a few years older than you. However, Captain Li is not as old as Captain Lu, so you still have to follow me in calling you sister-in-law."

After she finished speaking, seeing Song Fen staring at Yang Niannian blankly without saying anything, she nudged Song Fen with her elbow.

Urged, "Call sister-in-law quickly!"

Normally, the two of them have a good relationship. Tao Hua treats Song Fen as a sister, so she can't wait to bring her to meet Yang Niannian.

Song Fen came back to her senses and said in surprise, "Sister-in-law, you are so young. I thought you were about the same age as me."

Oh my god, Lu Shishen is already the team leader, he must be at least thirty years old, right?

This daughter-in-law looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, young, pretty and with fair skin. How could she be the same person that Xu Yinglian described?

She suspected that Xu Yinglian either recognized the wrong person or deliberately harmed Yang Niannian in order to please Lin Manzhi.

Yang Niannian thought the name Song Fen was very interesting. She invited the two of them into the house with a smile in her eyes and asked them to sit down.

"There are no cups here, and I can't pour you some water. Don't mind." She picked up a biscuit from the table. "Try the biscuit. It tastes good."

Song Fen felt that this food was not cheap and it would not be good to eat here, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I'm not hungry."

But I was thinking in my heart, isn’t Captain Lu’s wife very polite and humble?

How could it be like what Xu Yinglian said?

Fortunately, she didn't believe what Xu Yinglian said.

Tao Hua also waved her hand, "Big sister, don't be polite, we just had dinner and we are not hungry."

Glancing at the melon seeds on the table, she grabbed a handful and gave half to Song Fen, "Let's eat the melon seeds."

Yang Niannian didn't want to eat the melon seeds Xu Yinglian gave her, so she just followed Tao Hua's words.

"These are sent by my sister-in-law next door. I don't like melon seeds very much, so you guys can eat them all!"

Song Fen was surprised, "Did it come from Captain Zhou's wife?"

Yang Niannian heard the hidden meaning in Song Fen's words, raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "She won't say it's what I want, right?"

Song Fen realized that she spoke too quickly and didn't know how to say it directly, so she just smiled awkwardly with the corners of her mouth.

Yang Niannian did not ask any further questions. She sat down beside the bed and changed the subject, "Do you all live in the military compound?"

Tao Hua nodded while eating sunflower seeds. "Yes, all the people above the rank of company commander live there, and everyone knows each other. Big sister, you can also ask Captain Lu to apply to move in, so that we can all be neighbors in the future."

Yang Niannian shook her head, "I'm still studying, so I can't move in for the time being."

"Ah? Reading?"

Tao Hua and Song Fen exclaimed in surprise at the same time and looked at Yang Niannian in disbelief.

Oh my god, it turns out that Captain Lu’s wife is a college student.

Just when I was about to ask her which university she was attending, there was a knock on the door.

Yang Niannian guessed that it must be Zhao Fengnian who came to get the lunch box, so she opened the door with the lunch box, and sure enough, she saw Zhao Fengnian standing outside the door.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to get the lunch box."

Yang Niannian handed him the lunch box and said, "Sorry for bothering you. I have already washed the lunch box."

Zhao Fengnian was a little surprised. When he first sent food to Deputy Captain Wei's wife, the lunch boxes she gave him were always unwashed.

In comparison, the team leader's wife is better. She is pretty, not arrogant, and doesn't treat him like a nanny.

"Sister-in-law, the water is cold. Just let me wash it next time."

Yang Niannian said seriously, "You are a soldier who protects the country. How can I, a freeloader, waste national resources?"

When Zhao Fengnian heard this, he was stunned for two seconds, and then he saluted Yang Niannian solemnly.

"Sister-in-law, you are the most conscious military wife I have ever seen."
