The next morning, Yang Niannian was woken up by Lu Shishen in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she found that he was not wearing a military uniform. Then she suddenly remembered that she was going out shopping today.

He asked, rubbing his eyes.

"What time is it?"

"Seven o'clock. The clothes are warm. Get up and wash up first."

Yang Niannian nodded, sat up and put on her sweater. Seeing Lu Shishen bringing the military coat over, she quickly spoke.

"Jiang Yang and Yue Yue bought me a down jacket. It's in my luggage bag. Can you help me take it out? I'll wear it."

There was no place to hang clothes in the room, so she took off her clothes last night and put them in her bag.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shishen turned around and opened his luggage bag. Inside was a down jacket that reached below the knees. It felt very thick, and although not as warm as a military coat, it was almost as warm.

Said in a calm voice.

"They are brothers and sisters who have taken great pains."

Yang Niannian said with a smile as she put on her clothes.

"Of course, I have a very good eye for people."

She turned around in her down jacket and asked, "How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

Lu Shishen said "hmm" with a doting look in his eyes, and hung the bangs that were covering her forehead behind her ears.

"There's hot water in the bottle, go wash up first."

Yang Niannian stretched, took her toiletries and went out of the house. When she came back, Lu Shishen had already made the bed and the quilt was folded into a square block of tofu.

She suddenly remembered what Sister Ping had said before, and asked with a smile, "Do you feel annoyed every time you see me not folding the quilt neatly?"

Lu Shishen took the wash basin from his hand and put it on the ground, shaking his head and answering, "I don't have obsessive-compulsive disorder."

He had heard this word from Yang Niannian before.

Yang Niannian stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder, "I was right about you."

She took her watch out of her pocket and checked it. It was almost half past seven. "Oh, it's almost half past seven. Let's get out!"

Lu Shishen nodded, took the key and walked out. After closing the door, the two of them went downstairs one after the other. They happened to meet Tao Hua who was about to go to the bathroom at the stairs.

Seeing Yang Niannian dressed so beautifully, his eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Hey, big sister, you look really nice today. Are you wearing a down jacket? I heard that down jackets are very expensive nowadays. The one you are wearing must cost at least several hundred yuan."

When I saw Yang Niannian wearing a military coat before, I thought she didn’t seem very tall and was chubby. Now that she has put on a down jacket, I suddenly realize that she not only has a slim figure, but her height also looks a lot taller.

It's beautiful no matter how you look at it.

Yang Niannian didn't want to show off, so she smiled and said, "It's not too expensive. I bought it in a small city, so the prices are cheap."

Tao Hua knew that Yang Niannian was humble, and seeing that Lu Shishen was also wearing casual clothes, she knew that the two were going to accompany relatives, so she did not continue to disturb them.

He said with a smile.

"Are you going to accompany your relatives today? Go quickly! Don't keep them waiting anxiously."

"Then we'll go first."

Yang Niannian smiled and continued walking downstairs.

Tao Hua looked at her from behind with envy. She was pretty, had a good figure and was well-educated. No wonder Captain Lu loved her so much. Look how pretty this spoiled girl was!

Only if you live like this can you say that your life is not lived in vain.

When it was time for rehearsal at nine o'clock, Tao Hua went downstairs early and told the military wife who arrived earlier about her encounter with Yang Niannian in the morning, and she started praising her.

"That down jacket Nian Nian looks great in. It reaches below the knees and looks thick and warm. It also sets off her figure. You can't buy it without spending hundreds of dollars."

Song Fen was surprised. "Captain Lu is really willing to spend money on my sister-in-law. The Plum Blossom watch she bought last time also cost several hundred yuan."

Sister Ping added, "They haven't had any children yet, and Nian Nian is pretty and a college student. No matter who she marries into, she will definitely be cherished."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Manzhi walked out of the corridor and saw that everyone was standing and chatting, and no one was rehearsing, so she asked casually.

"You're all standing around and not rehearsing, what are you talking about?"

Tao Hua smiled and said, "We are talking about Nian Nian. Today, Nian Nian wore a down jacket. It looked very nice. I think that down jacket must have cost several hundred yuan."

Lin Manzhi frowned. "If you want to talk, wait until we're done with rehearsal. Now is rehearsal time, not time for idle chats. Let's all go to rehearsal! We can't make mistakes this year like we did last year."

Song Fen looked embarrassed. Tao Hua also saw that Lin Manzhi was unhappy, so she quickly took the others to rehearse.

Xu Yinglian came over and pouted.

"What kind of family does Captain Lu come from? How come he is so rich?"

Lin Manzhi rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.

"It's just a glamorous appearance, but it's hard work behind the scenes. What's there to envy?"

After saying that, he turned around and went to rehearse.

Xu Yinglian felt that what Lin Manzhi said made a lot of sense. How much does a regiment leader get paid?

Although it costs less without children, my wife is still in college, and I have to give some to my parents. There is also money for food, drink and social interactions. So, when you add it up, how much money can you save in a year?

Yang Niannian’s watch and down jacket took up most of her allowance.

If you have a daughter-in-law like this, sooner or later you will squander all your family fortune.

…

Yang Niannian didn't know that she was wearing a down jacket and people were talking about her behind her back. When she and Lu Shishen came outside, Du Weili had already arrived.

Jiang Yueyue was leaning on the car window and shouting from a distance.

"Brother Lu, sister, we are here."

When Jiang Yang saw the two people coming out, he opened the car door attentively.

"Brother Lu, you and Nian Nian should sit in the back! Yue Yue has been asking to sit with you guys."

Lu Shishen nodded, helped Yang Niannian into the car, and then bent down and sat in.

The car, which originally had quite spacious space, seemed extremely crowded with him sitting in it. Lu Shishen's head almost touched the roof.

Du Weili usually didn't think the car was small, but now he suddenly felt that he should change to a larger car.

The road from the troops to Beijing City is paved with mortar and is not very smooth, so he felt that he had to say something ugly in advance.

"Captain Lu, you're sitting so straight. I'm really afraid that the car will bump up and hit your head."

Lu Shishen said calmly.

"It's okay, just drive normally."

Yang Niannian also knew that Lu Shishen was used to sitting in a certain way, and it was completely impossible for him to sit with his back hunched.

Just say to Du Weili.

"Just drive! It's okay."

"Then I will drive boldly, you guys sit tight." Du Weili stepped on the accelerator and accelerated forward.
