Chapter 90

"It's good that you think so."

Lu Huaili knew that it was very difficult to change one's background, and it was a good thing as long as her third sister-in-law lived a down-to-earth life with her third brother.

The aunt and sister-in-law were speechless again, and later Tang Wan invited Lu Huaili to have dinner.

Lu Huaili refused, "My child is still waiting for me at home, so I will go back first."

She turned to leave, and Tang Wan took out a bunch of grapes, wrapped them up and handed them to her.

"Take it back and feed it to the children."

She also accepted her apple. Tang Wan has always been the kind of person who would feel embarrassed to take advantage of others if they were nice to her.

Seeing that Tang Wan's expression was sincere and it didn't seem like she was just being polite, Lu Huaili accepted the words and left.

Just after seeing off Lu Huaili, it was already getting late. Tang Wan noticed with her sharp eyes that Captain Cheng had returned.

After a while, a fierce quarrel broke out across the street.

She could still vaguely hear Captain Cheng's scolding and Cheng Xiaoyue's roar.

A few minutes later, she watched in amazement as Cheng Xiaoyue rushed out of the yard angrily.

This person is really troublesome.

With Lu Huaijing away, Tang Wan lives a carefree and comfortable life without having to worry about being exposed.

She went out occasionally and took Tang Zhou out to eat meat and rice every day.

More than a week later, Tang Zhou had become visibly rounder and no longer as skinny as before.

The same is true for Tang Wan. The scar on her forehead has even disappeared, and her skin is white.

In the past few days, she has successively obtained orange trees, pear trees, apple trees, persimmon trees, and grapefruit trees from the homes of fellow villagers in the neighboring brigade.

Some were branches and leaves, others were planted from seeds, and she even transplanted wild chestnut saplings from the mountains into the space.

Two more chickens were caught for Tang Zhou to raise, and the vegetables, onions, ginger and garlic that were planted earlier have also grown.

Everything at home is thriving, and Tang Wan and Tang Zhou are living a prosperous life.

That evening, she was collecting beans and radishes that were about to dry up.

Just then I saw Cheng Xiaoyue coming back outside with her arm around a man.

The man looked to be in his thirties, and perhaps because he was in the military, he had a tall and straight figure.

Not handsome, but not bad either.

Perhaps noticing Tang Wan's gaze, Captain Duan and Cheng Xiaoyue turned their heads at the same time and saw her.

"This seems to be Vice Captain Lu's home?"

Captain Duan's eyes lit up slightly, and Cheng Xiaoyue, who had been smiling just now, suddenly frowned.

"Yes, Lao Duan, let's go in first. We can't keep my brother waiting for too long."

Captain Duan is not as good-looking as Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, nor does he hold a higher position than him, so Cheng Xiaoyue doesn't want him to have any contact with Tang Wan.

She was afraid that Tang Wan would laugh at him.

However, Captain Duan said, "Let's go over and say hello to her."

This is the deputy regiment commander's wife, and Captain Duan feels it is very important to establish a good relationship with her.

The smile on Cheng Xiaoyue's face froze, and she opened her mouth impatiently, wanting to refuse.

But when she met Tang Wan's cold eyes not far away, she felt a little unconvinced.

"We can just tell my brother about our marriage. Is it necessary to tell her?"

"She is the wife of Vice Colonel Lu. It is a good thing to have a good relationship with her."

Captain Duan stared at Cheng Xiaoyue suspiciously, "You two live opposite each other, have you offended her?"

"How come?"

Cheng Xiaoyue screamed in her heart, but was afraid that the man who was nailed to the board would dislike her, so she said:

"She has only been with the army for a short time, so we are not familiar with each other."

"It's good that there is no enmity."

Captain Duan heaved a sigh of relief and whispered to Cheng Xiaoyue, "Yueyue, we are going to get married in the future.

I hope that after you get married, you can help me handle the relationships in the compound, make friends with military wives, and don’t offend people easily.”

He was busy recently and did not notice what Cheng Xiaoyue had done, otherwise he would not have said such words.

Hearing this, the smile on Cheng Xiaoyue's face froze again, and she nodded slightly.

"I see."

"Let's go and say hello to my sister-in-law."

Captain Duan brought Cheng Xiaoyue towards Tang Wan's house.

Tang Wan put the dried radishes into a separate bag, packing them out little by little.

Battalion Commander Duan smiled at her in a friendly manner, "Hello, sister-in-law. I am Comrade Cheng Xiaoyue's boyfriend."

"Hello."

Tang Wan nodded slightly, her eyes falling subtly on Cheng Xiaoyue's face, not knowing what she was thinking.

Does she think they have a good relationship?

Cheng Xiaoyue looked a little embarrassed, but in front of Captain Duan, she still called Tang Wan softly:

"Sister-in-law, my brother agreed to my marriage, so I brought Lao Duan over to sit with us."

In fact, there was no agreement at all. Tang Wan heard it clearly. They often quarreled during this period.

Captain Cheng was so frustrated that he wanted to break off relations with Cheng Xiaoyue, but she still insisted on doing so.

"Um."

Tang Wan nodded lightly, her attitude was not very enthusiastic, which made Cheng Xiaoyue feel a little embarrassed.

Captain Duan was a man, he didn't notice this, he said to Tang Wan cheerfully:

"When Xiaoyue and I get married, please come and have a drink at the wedding."

"Yes, if you invite me."

Tang Wan looked at Cheng Xiaoyue with a smile. She probably didn't want to invite her, right?

As expected, Cheng Xiaoyue's face didn't look very good, but she still followed Captain Duan's words and said:

"Of course you will be invited."

She clenched her hands into fists at her sides, her fingertips digging into her palms without feeling any pain.

It was obvious that she and Lu Huaijing knew each other first, so what is Tang Wan so proud of?

Battalion Commander Duan turned his head and noticed Cheng Xiaoyue pursed her lips, and asked with some doubt:

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

He was a rough man and did not notice that something was wrong with Cheng Xiaoyue. He thought she was suddenly feeling unwell.

"No, my brother must have been waiting for a long time."

Cheng Xiaoyue didn't want to stay at the door of Tang Wan's house for a moment. She always felt that if it wasn't Tang Wan.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt dissatisfied that she would be the one marrying Lu Huaijing.

"good."

Captain Duan nodded generously and said goodbye to Tang Wan, "Goodbye, sister-in-law."

"Slow down."

Tang Wan curled the corners of her lips slightly. This marriage was requested by Cheng Xiaoyue, and she hoped it was what she wanted.

Before the two of them had gone far, a postman rode over on a bicycle.

A look of joy appeared on Cheng Xiaoyue's face. It must be a letter written to her by her mother.

She is getting married, and her family might even send her a dowry.

"Excuse me, who is Comrade Tang Wan?"

The postman stopped his bicycle and glanced at Tang Wan and Cheng Xiaoyue with a puzzled look.

Cheng Xiaoyue's smile froze. She felt a little embarrassed and tried to leave.

Tang Wan had already opened the gate and came out. "Hello, comrade. I am Tang Wan."

"There's a letter for you."

The postman handed the letter to Tang Wan and said with a smile, "It seems to have been sent from the newspaper office."

"Okay, thank you, comrade."

When Tang Wan nodded with a smile, Cheng Xiaoyue stopped and looked at Tang Wan with some curiosity.

As the postman rode away on his bicycle, Tang Wan looked at the letter in his hand with joy.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any relatives in the newspaper office?"

Cheng Xiaoyue couldn't hold back her curiosity and looked over here.
