Yang Niannian turned around and wanted to go back to the house, but suddenly her eyes met with a woman who came out of the next house. Thinking that they would be neighbors in the future, she smiled at the woman as a greeting.

The woman was stunned for a moment, staring at Yang Niannian and looking around, then asked uncertainly, "Who are you?"

Yang Niannian blinked, "I am Lu Shishen's lover."

"You are Captain Lu's wife?" The woman opened her mouth in surprise, her voice like a megaphone, "Oh, why haven't I heard that Captain Lu's wife is coming to join the army? Aren't you in college?"

Um... everyone in the family compound knows that Lu Shishen's wife is a college student???

Yang Niannian was just trying to find an excuse to fool people when people from other houses heard the noise and came out to see what was going on. "Are you Captain Lu's lover?"

Yang Niannian simply didn't explain and nodded coquettishly, "I, I just arrived, you guys chat, I'll go back to the room first."

Yang Niannian went into the room, but the discussion outside did not stop.

"She looks only 18 or 19 years old? She still has baby fat on her face. Why did Captain Lu find such a young wife?"

"She's still in college, how can she not be young? She's really handsome, no wonder Captain Lu likes her."

"Someone should be sad this time!"

Is anyone sad?

It seems that someone here is still thinking about Lu Shishen. Well, it would be strange if no one is thinking about such a young, promising and handsome man.

As the sun set, Yang Niannian felt a little hungry and her stomach was rumbling.

For fear of running into those sisters-in-law and being asked questions, she didn't dare go out. Just as she was wondering when Lu Shishen would come back, there were two knocks on the door.

She opened the door and saw Lu Shishen standing at the door in the afterglow of the setting sun, holding two aluminum lunch boxes in his hands.

Lu Shishen walked around Yang Niannian and entered the house. He placed the lunch box on the dining table and opened it. "It's time to eat."

Her stomach had been rumbling for a while, and Yang Niannian was indeed hungry. She walked over and sat down, and found two pieces of braised pork in the lunch box. Her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your army treatment is pretty good, and there's even braised pork to eat."

In that age of material scarcity, a whole family depended on a few acres of land to make a living. They were lucky enough to have enough food to eat, and they would not eat meat until the Chinese New Year.

What's more, the family is supporting a college student who usually eats whole grain noodles and sweet potatoes. There is no oil in his stomach at all. When he sees meat, the original owner's body becomes very greedy.

Lu Shishen had just picked up the chopsticks to eat when he saw her eyes sparkling. He then gave her two pieces of braised pork from his lunch box and lowered his head to eat.

Yang Niannian felt warm in her heart and thought that Lu Shishen was not bad. She was a little happy in her heart and took another piece of braised pork back to him, "You have one too."

Lu Shishen paused for a moment, then continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Adhering to the principle that every grain of rice is hard-earned, Yang Niannian ate up all the rice in the lunch box. The original owner was lucky to have porridge at home, and had never experienced the days of eating rice like this.

She wiped her mouth with great satisfaction, and looked at Lu Shishen seriously, "I've thought it through. I'm willing to stay and live with you, as long as you don't look down on me for not being a college student."

Lu Shishen nodded expressionlessly and said “hmm”, his tone was calm, “Just stay here tonight, I’ll apply for a bigger house tomorrow. The shower and toilet are all downstairs. I have something to do, so I’ll be back late, so go to bed if you’re tired.”

Yang Niannian originally wanted to say that this room was big enough for two people to live in, but before she could say anything, Lu Shishen had already walked out with an aluminum lunch box.

She closed the door and stood there for a while before pushing open the door to the inner room.

There was only a bed and a large wooden box in the inner room. The bedding on the bed was folded neatly without a wrinkle. The box was covered tightly. The floor was clean without any dirt. It was obvious that he was a very hygienic person.

Yang Niannian put the package on the wooden box. She only took a set of spare clothes with her. These were given to the original owner by Yang Huiying because they were too small. The original owner was reluctant to wear them at home.

The entire building's showers and toilets are all on the first floor. The toilets are a row of eight squat toilets with nothing blocking the middle, so there is no privacy at all. Fortunately, no one is using the toilet at the moment.

The bathroom is also shared, about seven or eight square meters, with a row of faucets hanging on the wall, just like a large bathhouse in the north.

Although the conditions here are simple, in this era, for most people, these conditions are already quite good.

You have to know that there are no bathrooms in the homes of farmers in the countryside. Women can only use a large basin to wash in the house, while men can directly jump into the ditch to take a bath.

It was not dark yet, and the sisters-in-law in the family compound were busy cooking. Yang Niannian took a quick shower when no one was in the bathroom. After a day of hard work, she was all sweaty, and taking a shower made her feel much more refreshed.

She washed the clothes and went back to the house to rest. She was really tired after running around all day and fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.

She didn't know how long she had slept. She woke up in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she saw a dark shadow standing beside the bed. Yang Niannian was startled and sat up suddenly.

"Don't be afraid, it's me. I didn't turn on the light because I saw you were asleep." The dark shadow beside the bed suddenly spoke.

Hearing Lu Shishen's voice, Yang Niannian breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly remembered that she was in the army and lying on Lu Shishen's bed.

She rubbed her eyes, her voice still sleepy, "What time is it?"

"Ten o'clock."

Lu Shishen sat down on the edge of the bed, taking off his shoes with his back to Yang Niannian. It was too dark, and one could only barely see that he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt. His broad back was like a mud wall, exuding an invisible sense of oppression.

Thinking about what was going to happen next, Yang Niannian felt a little nervous. Chaotic images were flying around in her mind, and she hesitated whether to follow Lu Shijianshen.

The two are now a formally married couple.

Unexpectedly, after Lu Shishen lay down, he just said "Go to sleep" and then there was no movement. Lu Shishen slept soundly, and his body didn't touch her at all. He had no intention of touching her at all. While Yang Niannian breathed a sigh of relief, she secretly cursed herself for having impure thoughts.

After living for two lifetimes, Yang Niannian slept in the same bed with a man for the first time. She thought she would suffer from insomnia, but she fell asleep soon after.

After a good night's sleep, when she woke up the next day, Lu Shishen had already gone to the army. There were two aluminum lunch boxes and a note on the dining table outside.

There were only two words written on the note: breakfast.

Yang Niannian felt a little secretly happy in her heart. This man seemed to be taciturn and had an expressionless face, but he was actually very considerate.

Yang Niannian had just finished her meal when Li Fengyi arrived as if on time. When he saw that Yang Niannian hadn't spoken yet, he chuckled twice.

"Sister-in-law, the leader asked me to help you move."
