As soon as Yang Niannian finished speaking, a big hand covered her hand, and she hurried to explain.
"It's not my hands that are cold, it's my feet. I've only been sitting for a while and my feet are already cold. Are the feet of those sentries standing guard all frozen and swollen in the winter?"
"..." Lu Shishen did not comment. His current status was different, and he could not warm her feet at this time. "After the show, I will take you home. You can sit in the bed and warm yourself. I will bring you dinner."
There were no braziers in the army, so we could only sit in bed to keep warm.
Yang Niannian is not the kind of person who makes unreasonable demands. She is pampered when she should be, and not pretentious at all when she shouldn't be.
He whispered, "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. My feet are just a little cold, not that uncomfortable."
Seeing how sensible she was, Lu Shishen felt even more sorry for her. After a few shows ended, he immediately sent Yang Niannian back to her residence.
He even filled a hot water bottle with hot water to warm her feet. She felt sleepy as soon as she got into bed and slept until Lu Shishen came back to pick her up for New Year's Eve dinner.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Lu Shishen wanted to pack something for her, but Yang Niannian woke up, looked at the time, and quickly got dressed and got out of bed.
Lu Shishen said.
"It's cold outside. You might catch a cold if you go out right after waking up. I'll pack some for you to eat."
Yang Niannian shook her head and refused. "I am now the wife of a commander. My every move is being watched by others. If I don't do well, people will gossip about me behind my back. I have to pretend to be good. Anyway, I don't have to show up on weekdays. It's better to cooperate during these few days of the New Year. You just became the commander, and I can't let people say that I am putting on airs as the commander's wife."
Seeing that she was talking seriously, Lu Shishen did not refute her. After she put on her shoes, he put a military coat on her jacket.
"Dress warmly."
Although there was no mirror in front of her, Yang Niannian could feel that she was wrapped like a big black bear, and she felt that this affected her image a bit.
"I'm just going to have a meal and will be back soon. There's no need to wrap it so thickly, right? It won't look good if it's wrapped up like this. It will affect my image."
Lu Shishen helped her button up her military coat. "Everyone knows that you are good-looking. No matter what you wear, it won't hide your temperament. Be obedient and put it on."
Yang Niannian was overjoyed by the compliment, "Then wear it! You are getting sweeter and sweeter, and you are getting better and better at coaxing people."
The two of them went out together and happened to meet Lin Manzhi and Xu Yinglian who were also preparing to go to the cafeteria. After greeting each other, Xu Yinglian deliberately slowed down her pace and walked behind Yang Niannian.
He muttered to himself.
"Look at her, what's going on? She was dressed like a new bride at noon, and now she's dressed like a fat winter melon. She looks weird."
Lin Manzhi added in a light tone, "Maybe he got cold this morning!"
Xu Yinglian couldn't keep quiet and became more and more excited as she talked.
"Tsk, I think she bought one for herself because she saw you looked good in the big red coat that year. Look at her, she's as thin as a dried carrot, she can't hold it up at all, and she can't have your temperament no matter how much she wears it. And this military coat, it covers her from head to toe, as if the military coat has become a spirit."
Although Lin Manzhi did not agree, she felt very good when she heard Xu Yinglian say this.
She even pretended to be noble and said, "Red clothes are picky, not everyone is suitable for them."
"Isn't it?" Xu Yinglian pouted, her eyes and nose almost twisted together, "Master Lu really spoils her. She hasn't gotten pregnant after being married for several years, but Master Lu still holds her in his hands and treats her as warmly as a newly married couple."
Lin Manzhi sneered, "What you saw was just what others wanted you to see. Commander Lu is in a high position now, so even if it's just for show, he has to commend them for their harmonious family."
Although she didn't explicitly say that this was all for outsiders to see, her meaning was clear.
Xu Yinglian agreed again and again, "I was saying that Master Lu doesn't look like a caring person. He seems to be quiet, but it turns out he has so many thoughts. He must have been eyeing the position of Master for a long time. You can't judge a person by his appearance."
Lin Manzhi didn't say anything. Anyway, these words didn't come from her mouth. If someone heard them or spread them, it would have nothing to do with her.
She is not like Xu Yinglian, who always opens her mouth and tells everything.
Lu Shishen and Yang Niannian's identities are different today than before. Gossiping about them might lead to her husband being singled out for punishment.
They quickly arrived at the cafeteria. As soon as Yang Niannian sat down, the military wife next to her greeted her warmly with a smile on her face, even ignoring Lin Manzhi who came in behind her.
This feeling of disparity made Lin Manzhi feel very uncomfortable, but she did not show it.
Dinner was the same as lunch, also dumplings, but with some meat dishes.
After dinner, everyone went back to their residences. Except for the sentries on duty, everyone else took leave in the house. The soldiers played arm wrestling in the dormitory. Those who had family members visiting returned to their residences to spend the New Year's Eve with their wives.
When Lu Shishen finished his work and returned to his residence, Yang Niannian had already fallen asleep. She slept so deeply that she didn't even notice someone entering the room.
Lu Shishen looked at her peaceful sleeping face and fell into deep thought...
In the next few days, Yang Niannian either slept or stayed in bed reading, or went out for a walk with Tao Hua and Song Fen.
Originally, the wives of the soldiers planned to return to the military compound on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, but a heavy snow fell on the night of the fifth. The snow was so heavy that it snowed for one day and two nights, and the snow outside was almost up to their waists.
It was inconvenient to go back, so the military wives decided to stay and celebrate the Lantern Festival before going back.
I don’t know if it’s because the weather is too cold, but Yang Niannian is like a sleepyhead every day, feeling sleepy all the time. She goes to bed early at night, can’t get up in the morning, and even takes a nap at noon.
Even Tao Hua noticed something unusual.
"Big sister, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Why do I feel like you've been sleeping every day these days?"
Yang Niannian stretched lazily. "I don't feel uncomfortable, I just feel very tired. Maybe it's because people get lazy in winter!"
Tao Hua felt something was wrong. "You sleep for such a long time every day, don't you feel dizzy? Can you fall asleep at night after sleeping during the day?"
Yang Niannian shook her head. "I don't feel dizzy. I just feel sleepy soon after dinner."
Tao Hua felt strange. She had never seen Yang Niannian sleep so well before.
She speculated, "Sister, when did your period come? Are you pregnant? My sister was like you when she was pregnant before. She was always sleepy, and her mother-in-law scolded her for being lazy and yelled at her all over the village. Her husband listened to her mother-in-law's instigation and beat her up. Later, she went back to her parents' home, and my mother took her for a check-up and found out that she was pregnant."
Yang Niannian was bored at home, and when she heard Tao Hua's words, she instantly became interested in eating melons.
"What happened later? Did your sister get divorced?"
Tao Hua subconsciously said, "How can you get divorced so easily after just getting married? You will be laughed at by others."
Forehead……
Yang Niannian felt upset when she heard this, "You were beaten right after getting married, and you don't want to divorce? If you have a child, won't it be easier to control you in the future?"
