Chapter 68: Wife, I've come to take you home

Over the next few days, Shen Man accompanied her grandfather and the prospective military wives to catch seafood, with a bountiful harvest. Everyone relied on catching seafood to successfully add dishes to their lunch and dinner.

They gained a lot of laughter, and the relationship between them also grew much closer.

At the same time, Old Master Lu moved into the Cadre Sanatorium on the Sea Island and was assigned the best room.

This place was very close to the military region. When it was built, it was located in a corner of the military region out of consideration for the future retirement life of retired officers.

A walk of five or eight minutes would bring them back to the troops, where they could guide new recruits on the training ground and use training equipment to exercise.

Of course, after these few days of rushing, the cement mortar for the shower rooms in the two small courtyards had dried.

The more complex septic tanks, flushing tanks, and shower devices were also installed.

Even a door had been opened in the middle of the courtyard wall, making it very convenient for the two families to interact.

When the political review for her brother and sister-in-law ended and they were preparing to get their certificates, Shen Man gave her brother the bankbook that belonged to him, which she had gotten from their biological father.

"I don't want his things!"

Lu Xiu Bai's first reaction was that he didn't want it, finding that person's things dirty.

"Don't be a fool; we can't let that mother and daughter take advantage of it, right? Besides, this is for your sister-in-law, not for you."

Shen Man saw it clearly and patiently persuaded her brother to accept the bankbook and let his sister-in-law handle it.

To put it bluntly, they couldn't escape the responsibility of supporting him in his old age, and forgiving their deadbeat father was impossible, so why shouldn't they take his compensation?

Could it be that they should let that mother and daughter take advantage of it?

"Speaking of which, I received a remittance; it's the compensation he gave. It comes every month, so I hope he lives a long life so he can keep working to earn money for me."

In front of her brother, Shen Man revealed her true nature for the second time.

Lu Xiu Bai felt that what his sister said made a lot of sense!

"Alright, I'll accept it and give it to your sister-in-law in a while."

"That's right. When you and your sister-in-law buy things, if you see sponge cakes, bring one for me."

Shen Man wasn't greedy herself, but Tangyuan really loved eating sponge cakes.

She was even thinking about building a baking oven in the courtyard later, having seen videos of a food blogger girl building one by hand and succeeding.

If she could experiment with baking sponge cakes herself, she wouldn't need to take the passenger ship to Haibin City to buy them so often in the future.

It was quite troublesome.

"Okay."

After Lu Xiu Bai agreed, he went off happily to find his partner to get their marriage certificate.

Today was Friday, and the troops were off in the afternoon.

They had registered the military marriage for the officers in advance, and tomorrow, Saturday, starting at nine in the morning, they would hold a collective wedding in the military auditorium!

Shen Man was also packing her luggage. Later, after saying goodbye to Sister Wang, she would follow the transport truck and move her luggage into the family compound.

"Meow."

Tangyuan had been sticking close to the big boss recently, absorbing and digesting quite a few wisps of luck, and its body had grown by half an inch.

Although it wasn't very obvious yet, it felt that the energy in its body was much more abundant.

It was already helping its master manage the space farming, keeping the chicks, ducklings, and fish in perfect order.

The mist in the space had dissipated a little bit, and although it was only a little bit, it proved that its guess was correct!

"Be good, get into the bag first. We're moving to our new home today."

Shen Man rubbed Tangyuan's head. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt Tangyuan's face had gotten a tiny bit bigger.

Just a tiny bit. Forget it, better not say anything to save the little guy from sulking.

"Meow."

Okay, Master. I also want a cat bed, a soft and fluffy one, so it will be very comfortable when I bask in the sun in the courtyard~

Tangyuan was in a pleasant mood. Wherever its master was, it would go.

Its master's home was its home.

Although the space was good, the outside world was also beautiful.

There was the fragrance of flowers, the chirping of insects, and the sponge cakes it liked.

"Okay, after we get home, I'll make you a soft cushion and a comfortable cat bed."

Rarely hearing Tangyuan ask for something, Shen Man naturally agreed, satisfying it, satisfying it completely!

Tangyuan stared blankly at its master, a blurry face flashing through its mind—Lu Lao Zu had also indulged it like this...

There were tears in the cat's eyes, but it quickly hid them by burrowing into the yarn bag, curling into a ball, and pretending not to care.

Shen Man sensed that Tangyuan's mood wasn't very beautiful right now. Just as she wanted to comfort it, the door was knocked, and the man's voice sounded outside—

"Wife, I've come to take you home."

It was Brother Jiang Ye. Shen Man got up and went to open the door.

At the same time, in the corridor, knocking sounds kept ringing, along with the conversations between prospective military wives and their officer husbands...

This time, they were really moving.

Shen Man's suitcase was heavy, but Jiang Ye lifted it easily, moved it downstairs, and put it into the truck.

Taking advantage of the gap, Shen Man went to the counter to say goodbye to Sister Wang, thanking her for her care over the past week, and saying that if there was a chance in the future, they would visit each other again.

"Good, good, good. Come to my house then, and I'll make you our local specialty dishes. I guarantee you'll want to eat them again after trying them."

Wang Mingkui couldn't stop smiling. The young girl was just so good at talking, much better than that dull gourd Jiang Ye.

Her man's hairline was saved; in the future, when the two of them walked together, they wouldn't be mistaken for being from different generations!

"Mm-hmm."

Shen Man nodded. Sister Wang was the first military wife she had made friends with on the Sea Island; they had common topics and could get along.

Having more friends and more places to visit in the future was good.

Others were checking out one after another. Shen Man didn't want to disturb Sister Wang's work, so with her man's help, she sat in the truck.

The truck's seat was a hard wooden board. Jiang Ye folded his military coat in half and spread it on the seat for his wife before letting her sit down.

Fearing that his wife would be unstable and bump into something during the bumpy ride, he also stretched out his arm, firmly circling his wife's shoulder with his own, creating an invisible sense of security.

Shen Man obediently leaned against her man's chest, holding the bag with both hands, inside which was the sleeping Tangyuan.

A family of three, all together.

The military wives who got on one after another couldn't help but envy Shen Man.

After the officers got on the truck and saw Regiment Commander Jiang using his military coat as a cushion for his wife, they all expressed that they had learned something.

But they had come in a hurry and hadn't worn military coats at all!

As a result, the more the military wives envied Shen Man, the more the officers gossiped about Regiment Commander Jiang in their hearts.

Showing off affection was one thing, but showing them how to be so considerate to one's wife was another!

Had he considered their feelings?

If eye-knives could cut people, someone would probably have been hacked into eight pieces by now, right? ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
