"Hey, I'm here!"

Lin Wanshu responded and hurried out of the kitchen.

As soon as she went out, she saw a young female comrade holding a bunch of vegetables in her hand, walking towards her with a smile.

"I'm from Shen Xuewen's family. My name is Ji Hualan. I just heard him say that you guys are back, so I came to see you."

"It's my sister-in-law. I was thinking of visiting you later, but I didn't expect you to come. Come in and sit down."

Lin Wanshu quickly invited people in.

"Hey, let's stop being so polite. You call me Hualan, and I'll call you Wanshu from now on, okay?"

The two men have a good relationship, so Ji Hualan naturally hopes to have a good relationship with Lin Wanshu.

Lin Wanshu also had the same idea, so she followed her words and called out Hualan.

"Hey, that sounds much better. These are the vegetables I grew myself. I thought you just got here and you were short of things, so I brought some for you."

"How can this be so embarrassing? You've helped me so much."

"Why should you be embarrassed? It's just a matter of convenience. Just take it. We still have a long time to spend together."

Hearing her say this, Lin Wanshu no longer refused.

"Then I won't be polite to you."

"If you're polite to me, I'll be even more angry with you!"

The two talked as they walked inside.

"By the way, how is your man?"

Although Shen Xuewen had already told her the general situation, since she had come to his house, how would it look like if he didn't say hello?

"It's fine now. The doctor said that he will be able to walk normally in ten days."

It is said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, but it is not known whether the medicine she prescribed was too effective or Qin Yan's physique was too strong.

These days, his recovery speed is much faster than before.

This is also the reason why he decided to return to the army instead of returning to his hometown.

"That's great. You don't even know that during the days when your husband was first hospitalized, my husband, Mr. Shen, suffered from insomnia every day. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and see him smoking."

Ji Hualan felt distressed seeing him like this.

Originally everyone thought that Qin Yan would probably not wake up, and even if he did, he might become disabled.

Unexpectedly, he not only woke up, but was also able to return to the army.

His recovery was a great thing for the Seventh Battalion, so Ji Hualan was naturally happy from the bottom of her heart.

Hearing these words, Lin Wanshu felt warm in her heart.

"Thanks to you guys, otherwise I don't even dare to think what would have happened to him."

He didn't make it in his previous life, and Lin Wanshu couldn't help but feel scared every time she thought about it.

"It's also because he is very capable. If it were someone else in that situation, they would probably have died on the spot."

But he managed to annihilate five enemies on his own and rescue Xu Minghui.

Such extreme operations are no longer something that ordinary people can do.

Now not only has he woken up, but he also has no sequelae. It goes without saying that he has a bright future ahead of him.

Lin Wanshu invited her into the kitchen and quickly brought a bench for her to sit down.

But Ji Hualan is not someone who can sit idle, so how could she be willing to sit?

"Don't worry about me. I'm just here to take a look. I have to go back to cook later."

It's already noon, and the two kids at home are crying for food.

Seeing this, Lin Wanshu didn't force it anymore.

"I was preparing lunch, but I didn't expect you to bring me some vegetables. I deserve this treat."

She smiled at her as she put the vegetables into the basket.

That porcelain-white little face was already pretty, and this smile almost dazzled Ji Hualan's eyes.

"Tsk tsk, what on earth is wrong with your face? No wonder my husband Shen said that your man calls your name in his dreams."

Ji Hualan's words made Lin Wanshu blush.

"Hualan, stop teasing me."

What is all this?

"Hey! Don't disbelieve me, everyone in the camp knows it."

Otherwise, with his taciturn personality, how could he let so many people know that he liked a girl?

Lin Wanshu was afraid that she would go further and further out of line, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Hualan, you just said that you grew these vegetables yourself? I just got here and I don't know much about it. Can I grow these vegetables too?"

Seeing that she was shy, Ji Hualan stopped teasing her and said seriously, "I came here to talk to you about this. Our family compound has allocated some land to each household. There are two acres of paddy fields for growing rice, and a few acres for growing vegetables. You are new here, so there is no rush. I will take you to have a look tomorrow."

In theory, the army will try its best to arrange a job for the wives of soldiers accompanying the troops.

However, the country's industry is too backward and jobs are extremely scarce.

Their seven battalions can only arrange a few positions in a year.

Don't the remaining family members need to be given something to do?

Moreover, conditions were difficult in those days. Even soldiers had to farm to be self-sufficient, not to mention the wives of soldiers who had no jobs.

"That's great. I'll come find you tomorrow."

Lin Wanshu was more than happy to have someone to help her get familiar with the environment.

After the two of them chatted and laughed for a while, Ji Hualan lowered her voice and introduced the situation here to her.

It turns out that the family compound is actually a small society.

Even though they are all military wives, they are also divided into different factions.

People from the city look down on those from the countryside, and those from the countryside think the city’s military wives are too pampered.

Normally, the two gangs kept to themselves and only pretended to be friendly in front of men.

Ji Hualan is one of the few people who can get along well with both sides.

"But you don't have to worry. The army values ​​strength. If you can get along with someone, get along with them. If you can't get along with someone, don't force it. If someone really causes trouble, you don't have to swallow your anger. People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong, and it's the same here."

Lin Wanshu knew that she was giving her some advice and was very grateful.

When Ji Hualan asked to leave, she took out a bag of peanut candies from an oil paper bag from the space under the cover of the cupboard and stuffed it into her hand.

"I just arrived and I don't have anything prepared. This is the peanut candy I brought from my hometown. It's fragrant and crispy. You can take it back and give it to your nephews."

Although peanut candy is not expensive, it is a rare snack in that era of material scarcity and children love it very much.

"No, I just came to give you some vegetables, how can it be worth it for you to give me so much candy?"

Ji Hualan refused to take it and pushed it back to her.

"It's not something valuable. If you don't accept it, how can I bother you again next time?"

Lin Wanshu glared at her and stuffed the candy in her hand again.

After some back and forth pushing and shoving, Ji Hualan finally accepted the peanut candy.

"Then I won't be polite with you. I'll come and call you tomorrow morning, so you don't have to make a trip."

Her house was not far from here, just three houses away.

When she went out, she stretched out her hand and pointed to her door to Lin Wanshu.

"Okay, I remember. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll come back to you."

The two hit it off immediately and were already very familiar with each other when they went out.

Lin Wanshu had just sent Ji Hualan out of the house and was about to go back when she saw someone walking out of the yard next door.

She was wearing a light blue long dress and her long hair was tied into a high ponytail. She looked sweet and fashionable.

"Hey, are you the new one?"

The woman squinted her eyes and looked her up and down.

Lin Wanshu: …

Is this person Yu Fangfang, the deputy head of the regiment’s wife that Ji Hualan mentioned just now?

"Who are you calling?"

The smile on Lin Wanshu's face had cooled, and she looked back at her indifferently.

"Of course I'm calling you. Is there anyone else here?"

Yu Fangfang rolled her eyes.

"Even a country bumpkin like me knows that we should address strangers as comrades. You look so well-dressed and you don't look uneducated. How come you didn't learn what politeness is when you were in school?"

After all, Lin Wanshu was the actual controller of the group in her previous life. How could she have reached that position without some strength?

At this moment, she just put away the smile on her face, but there was an indescribable sense of oppression.

These words made Yu Fangfang blush.

But she was obviously spoiled, and her face turned dark when she realized that she was actually scared by a country woman.

"You... you dare to say that I'm uneducated? Do you know that I'm the only one in the family compound with a college degree?"
