Su Ruanruan glanced out the window and could hear the sound of a car gradually moving away.

"He went back?"

Fu Wenjing nodded slightly, "Let's go back. My wife, please sit down first. I'll bring a basin of water and wipe the kang."

Of course Su Runrun couldn't just sit and wait, leaving Fu Wenjing to do the work alone, so she followed Fu Wenjing to the kitchen.

There was a board covering the water tank. When the board was lifted, it was seen that it was full of water.

Fu Wenjing walked out, saying, "There should be firewood in the yard. I'll get some and boil some water so you can wash it later. But there's no big basin, so you can just make do with it for now. I'll get one tomorrow."

Su Ruanruan was not idle either. She scooped some water into the basin and carried it into the east room.

There was no rag in the room, so Su Ruanruan simply tore off a piece of her own clothes that was as old as it could be and used it as a rag.

Wipe the kang mat, kang table, kang cabinet, then wipe the square table, desk and bookcase.

After Fu Wenjing came in, he also tore off a piece of cloth to wipe it together.

After changing the water twice, I finally wiped it all clean.

At this time, the water in the stove was boiled. Fu Wenjing brought in a basin of warm water and asked Su Runruan to wash first. He went to the kitchen to clean up.

After sitting in the car for more than twenty hours and being busy just now, Su Runruan just felt sticky and sticky.

Although she could only scrub it, she didn't mind at all.

After washing my body and changing into pajamas, I felt relaxed all over.

Su Runrun came to the kitchen with water and saw that Fu Wenjing had already cleaned the kitchen.

This action is really good, and Su Runrun was amazed by it.

"I've already washed it, you should go and wash it too." Su Ruanruan said to Fu Wenjing.

Fu Wenjing shook his head. "Don't worry. It's daybreak. I'll go get some water and fill up the water tank."

Fu Wenjing explained to Su Runruan that there was a water tower in the compound, but because it was too large, the water pipes were not connected to the households. There was a public pool in one area, and every household could go there to wash clothes and vegetables.

However, for convenience, every household will prepare a large water tank at home, and when there is no water, they will go to the sink to get it.

"Is it daybreak already?"

Su Ruanruan was surprised and turned to look outside. Sure enough, she saw that it was already dawn outside.

They have been busy for half the night!

Fu Wenjing went out with two buckets to fetch water, while Su Runrun stood at the door, looking around the entire yard.

There was a brick path in the middle of the yard, with weeds growing on both sides of the land.

Just by looking at the lush growth of these weeds, you can tell that the land is quite fertile.

It would be a shame not to grow some vegetables on such fertile land.

Su Ruanruan was just thinking about what to plant when she saw Fu Wenjing coming back carrying two buckets of water.

The water in the water tank had been used up by them. Fu Wenjing first poured some water into the water tank, scrubbed it, and then poured all the remaining water in.

The water tank was very large, and even after pouring two buckets of water into it, it was only one-third full.

Fu Wenjing ran two more times before he finally filled the water tank.

It was already past six o'clock. Fu Wenjing found two aluminum lunch boxes and said, "I'll go get some food. My wife, don't fall asleep. Eat your fill before you go to sleep."

"I know, you should come back soon."

After watching Fu Wenjing walk out the door, Su Runrun turned and went into the east room, opened all the bags she had brought, and began to put them away.

The cotton-padded clothes and trousers that Wang Maoni made for Fu Wenjing were all stored in the innermost part of the kang cabinet. It was still summer and they could not be worn yet.

There weren't many clothes in the closet. At first glance, they were either green or white, all military uniforms and shirts.

Su Ruanruan put her clothes aside and put the materials she brought at the bottom of the cabinet.

As for the various pickles, salted vegetables, dried vegetables and mushrooms that Su Ruanruan brought, they were all taken to the kitchen and put away in different categories.

The cupboard was completely empty, not even a bowl or plate, let alone oil, salt, sauce or vinegar.

Even though Fu Wenjing had said before that he always ate in the cafeteria, Su Runrun still sighed when she saw the empty cupboard.

Fu Wenjing's life is truly a typical bachelor's life.

Just as Su Ruanruan was sighing, she heard a voice at the gate, "Fu Qi is back? When did he arrive?"

Hearing this, Su Ruanruan turned around and walked out. Just as she reached the kitchen door, she saw a woman walking in.

The woman was in her twenties or thirties, with short hair that reached her ears. She wore a white short-sleeved Dacron top and grey trousers with her shirt tucked into the waistband, making her look very capable.

When Su Ruanruan was staring at the woman, the woman was also looking at Su Ruanruan in surprise.

After a moment, the woman spoke first, "Who are you?"

Su Ruanruan smiled slightly, "I am Fu Wenjing's wife."

"Ouch!" the woman exclaimed, her face full of shock. "Fu Qi is amazing. He hasn't been home for so many years, and when he went back, he actually brought back a wife. And such a young and beautiful wife. This is really an old cow eating young grass!"

Fu Wenjing is seven years older than Su Runrun, so it's not wrong to describe him as an old cow eating young grass.

Before Su Ruanruan could say anything, the woman came up to her quickly. "What's your name, sister? How old are you? I live next door to you. My last name is Niu Guifang. My husband is the instructor of the third company and works with Fu Qi. My husband and I are older than Fu Qi. He calls me sister-in-law, so you can call me sister-in-law too."

Niu Guifang is a generous and graceful person who speaks very fluently. When she speaks, she always has a bright smile on her face and is very kind.

Although it was the first time they met, Su Ruanruan had no aversion to her.

"Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Su Ruanruan and I am 18 years old."

"Ouch!" Niu Guifang exclaimed, "This is so young! Soft girl, when did you get here?"

Soft girl?

Hearing Niu Guifang calling her that, Su Runrun almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but fortunately she held it back at the last moment.

"We arrived at about 3 o'clock in the evening."

"Arriving in the middle of the night is really a torture. Have you guys not rested yet? Where has Fu Qi been?"

"He went to get food. He said he would eat something and then rest."

Niu Guifang nodded repeatedly, "It's time to eat something, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well. You just arrived, so have a good rest today. I'll take you around tomorrow, it's very lively here!"

Fu Qi was always in a hurry in this yard, and wasted the good land. Fortunately, now that I have a family, I can tidy up the yard, grow some vegetables, raise two chickens, and you can cook for yourself.

If you want to raise chickens, I'll take you to get two chicks later."

Su Ruanruan had been planning this before she came, but she didn't expect that Niu Guifang would bring it up before she even opened her mouth.

Su Ruanruan nodded repeatedly and thanked her, "I thought so too, so thank you first, sister-in-law."
