On the eighth day that Ye Qingtao had arrived at the family compound, Gu Jingming went to the army early. Ye Qingtao, who had rarely slept in, got up at seven o'clock.

She put on the small military coat that Gu Jingming had requested for her, put on waterproof and moisture-proof leather boots, put on a scarf and a hat, prepared some dry food for lunch, and went out.

It takes a long time to go up and down the mountain, and it takes even longer to search for herbs.

It was her first time going up the mountain, and although she had a map of the surrounding area, she didn't know the situation on the mountain.

She didn't expect a big harvest this time, she would be lucky enough to be able to find the way.

When Ye Qingtao went out, the morning sun had just risen and it felt somewhat warm on her body.

Many people in the family compound had gone out, and when they saw her come out, many of them looked at her with confusion.

Some people greeted her enthusiastically. Most of these people were normal, but some were hostile to her.

"Hey! Is this Chief Gu's new wife? She's so pretty!"

"I haven't seen you go out for a while. Are you feeling unwell or are you not used to the environment here?"

"You're wrapped up so tightly, are you getting ready to go out?"

After a lot of effort, they saw Ye Qingtao come out. The military wives were extremely enthusiastic and surrounded her in an instant.

Ye Qingtao originally thought that if she went out early, she could avoid the crowd and leave here quietly.

She didn't expect these people to be so curious about her. She was surrounded before she even reached the gate of the staff quarters.

"I caught a cold a few days ago and my hands got frostbite, so I didn't go out."

"I was planning to go to the market to buy some things today, so I got up a little early."

It is said that one should not hit a smiling person, so everyone greeted her with a smile. Although Ye Qingtao was in a hurry to go up the mountain, she still stopped and responded one by one.

Those who can live in the family quarters are families of active-duty officers, non-commissioned officers, civilian cadres, and some veterans who have served for many years.

And only immediate family members and spouses can accompany the troops.

Most of the people who greeted her were military wives, and there were also some officers' underage children among them.

Not many people can live in the family quarters, and every time a new person comes in, it attracts everyone's attention.

What's more, the person who brought his family here this time was Gu Jingming, the most famous war god in their military region.

He became the head of the group at a young age and his work ability is first-class.

Every time there is a difficult task, he takes the lead in carrying it out.

Gu Jingming has led countless soldiers during his years in the army. Even among them, many of their husbands and fathers had served under Gu Jingming.

The troops managed by Gu Jingming have strict discipline and strong execution, and are rated as advanced every year.

Whenever we went out on a mission with Gu Jingming, he would always plan a detailed battle plan, and everyone who went out would be able to perform their respective duties.

It is precisely because of his seriousness and rigor that the casualty rate is always very low. Even in some tasks with a high risk factor, he can save everyone's lives.

This shows how high Gu Jingming's reputation is.

Ye Qingtao is pretty and tall, but a little too thin.

Her slender body was wrapped in a military coat, revealing only her small face, the size of a palm.

Her skin is fair and tender, and she looks fragile.

Many military wives have been with the army for many years, and have been exposed to the cold wind in the mountains every day, and their skin has long become dry and rough.

Some of the younger ones don’t look as pretty and charming as Ye Qingtao.

They are all military wives following the army, and Ye Qingtao is an exception among them.

Most of the others who looked at Ye Qingtao with hostility were older girls among the military dependents.

These girls are already sixteen or seventeen years old. They grew up listening to Gu Jingming's glorious deeds and often watched his heroic figure. They had the idea of ​​marrying him since they were young.

I finally made it to adulthood, but unexpectedly Ye Qingtao got there first.

Her idol and the man she had dreamed of marrying since childhood was possessed by another woman.

And this woman doesn't look much older than them.

In comparison, they naturally feel unwilling and it is normal for them to be hostile to her.

Ye Qingtao glanced at them indifferently, then quickly looked away.

Ye Qingtao exchanged greetings with everyone and was about to leave. When the two military wives heard that she was going to the market to buy things, they immediately followed her enthusiastically.

"Come on, come on. I'm going to the market too. Since this is your first time there, you probably don't know the way. Let us take you there, okay?"

"Yes, yes. Although the market here is not big, the things sold are quite diverse. Just tell us what you want to buy and we will take you there."

The sisters-in-law put their arms around Ye Qingtao, one on each side, and were extremely enthusiastic towards her.

"But, but..."

Ye Qingtao originally planned to go up the mountain, but now it seems he should give up.

The main reason was that she had never been to the market before, and there were indeed a lot of things to buy.

It's impossible that Gu Jingming has to buy even a needle and thread?

"There's nothing to worry about. Just come with us to the market."

"All right."

Ye Qingtao had no choice but to agree in the end.

The two military wives enthusiastically took her arms and talked to her about this and that along the way.

Ye Qingtao was not familiar with the situation here, so it was just right for her to learn more about the surrounding situation from them.

The market is very close to the family compound, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.

However, this market is really small, but there are many varieties of things for sale.

What makes Ye Qingtao happy is that this place is worthy of being called China's Medicine Capital, and there are actually people selling medicinal herbs on the street.

“There are only a few small villages around this market, and there are not many people buying and selling goods.”

"The prices here are not expensive, and we have daily necessities. If you really want to buy something rare, you still have to go to the big market in town."

"But it's a bit far, you have to drive there. I've been here for several years and only went there once in the past two years."

The military wife who was speaking was named Li Huifang. Her husband had been a company commander many years ago, and she had been with the army for several years.

She has been here for a long time and is familiar with the situation here.

"I have only lived in the family compound in the past two years, but I have never even taken a ride in a military vehicle, let alone go to the market."

Wang Xiaoyu's husband is just a platoon leader in the army. If she had not been old enough to join the army, she would not even be qualified to join the army.

The reason why they are so enthusiastic about Ye Qingtao is actually out of selfish motives.

Gu Jingming served in the army for 10 years without getting married, but when he returned, he suddenly got married.

The wife he married is so fair and tender, so he naturally loves her very much.

What's more, many people privately saw Gu Jingming going to the supply and marketing cooperative to carry back large and small bags of things.

There are also rumors that Gu Jingming personally serves tea and water to his wife, and also helps her soak her feet and massage her feet. Someone even saw Chief Gu carrying a basin to the yard to pour water!
