After Xu Huaian was pushed out of the door by Shi Qingqian, he had a doting smile on his face, and then walked towards the training ground with firm steps.

Shi Qingqian stood at the door, looking at Xu Huaian's departing back, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a warmth surged in her heart.

She closed the door gently, turned back into the house, and began to pack the luggage she brought.

Only a part of it was in the box, and she placed the rest in the space.

As she was packing, she heard a cheerful conversation outside the door.

"Mrs. Zheng, what kind of person do you think the new daughter-in-law of Captain Xu will be?" Sister-in-law Yang's voice was full of curiosity.

"Of course she is. Captain Xu has very high standards. His wife must be gentle and beautiful, otherwise he wouldn't even look down on the female comrades in the art troupe," Mrs. Zheng responded with a smile.

"That's true."

One of them is the wife of the political commissar and the other is the wife of the division commander. They have been privately worried about Xu Huaian's lifelong affairs.

She never tired of introducing girls to Xu Huaian, but he didn't like any of them, and finally he got married secretly.

The two were also very curious about this.

Even if Xu Huaian didn't let them come, they would have to find a chance to come and have a look.

There was a knock on the door. Shi Qingqian put down the clothes she was sorting, walked quickly to the door and opened it.

Shi Qingqian stood at the door, like a moving painting. She was tall and slender with well-proportioned curves. Her long, shiny black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, and the slightly curly ends of her hair added a bit of playfulness and agility.

"Sister, you are so pretty!" Mrs. Zheng said enthusiastically when she saw Qing Qian when she came in.

There are many beautiful women in the art troupe, but this is the first time I have seen one as beautiful as this.

Sister Yang was also amazed and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Captain Xu is really blessed."

Shi Qingqian smiled a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for the compliment, my two sisters-in-law."

Mrs. Zheng took Shi Qingqian's hand and looked her up and down, her eyes full of joy: "Oh, with this look and this temperament, no wonder Captain Xu looks down on others."

Shi Qingqian turned slightly to the side and said with a gentle smile, "Sisters-in-law, please come in."

Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Yang walked into the house with a smile, looking around at the layout of the room and constantly praising Shi Qingqian's ability.

Qing Qian felt a little guilty when she was praised. It was not her ability, but Xu Huaian's.

Shi Qingqian hurried to the table, picked up the kettle, poured two glasses of water, added some honey to them, and then handed them to the two sisters-in-law: "Two sisters-in-law, drink some water."

Mrs. Zheng took the cup, took a sip, and praised: "This water is really sweet."

Sister Yang also took a sip and asked, "Is there honey in this?"

"Oh, honey is a good thing," Zheng's wife quickly put down the cup, "Sister, you don't have to be so polite. Huai'an is like a brother to my old Liang. We can be considered a family. Don't do this in the future."

Sister Yang also nodded and said, "That's right. I think my sister is so thin, she should take good care of herself. Such good things should be kept for herself."

Shi Qingqian smiled and said, "Don't be polite, sisters-in-law. This is what I should do. I'm new here, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of me in the future."

"These are all trivial matters. Come on, let's take you for a walk so you can get familiar with the place."

After hearing what Sister-in-law Zheng said, Shi Qingqian nodded happily: "Then I'll trouble you two sisters-in-law."

She turned around, picked up her small handbag, and followed Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Yang out the door.

The scorching sun shines on every corner of the military district’s family compound, giving this old-fashioned place a dazzling glow.

The military district family compound is located in a relatively quiet area, surrounded by tall trees, giving people a sense of tranquility and security.

The walls of the tube-shaped buildings in the family compound are painted military green, appearing simple and solemn.

There are many fields next to the tube-shaped buildings, where vegetables are grown, full of the breath of life.

In this special era, life in the military district’s family compound is simple but full of warmth and order.

Shi Qingqian looked around curiously as she walked.

Mrs. Zheng introduced with a smile: "Sister, this family compound is where all the military families live. We are all very united and help each other with everything."

"Look over there, that's Captain Li's home. They have two naughty children. Over here is Captain Wang's home. Their wife is very skillful and can make many beautiful clothes. You can ask her for help in the future."

Sister Yang also continued, "Yes, sister, the people in our family compound are very easy to get along with. If you have any problems in the future, just come to us. Don't be shy."

Shi Qingqian smiled and nodded.

They walked along the cement road and met many people from the family compound.

When everyone saw Shi Qingqian's new face, they all looked at her curiously.

"Hey, whose new bride is this? She's so pretty."

Mrs. Zheng quickly introduced, "This is Captain Xu's daughter-in-law. She just arrived yesterday."

A hint of surprise flashed in the aunt's eyes, and then she smiled and said, "So it's Captain Xu's wife. I heard that Captain Xu got married before, but I didn't expect his wife to be so beautiful."

"Captain Xu is a capable man, so the wife he chooses must be good too."

Several women nearby also gathered around and talked in a flurry.

"Captain Xu had never found a partner, and everyone thought he would be single for life. Unexpectedly, he quietly married such a beautiful wife."

"Yes, this new daughter-in-law looks like she's good at giving birth. Captain Xu is truly blessed."

Shi Qingqian felt a little embarrassed by what everyone said, and said with a blushing face, "Thank you for the compliment."

Sisters Zheng and Yang looked at Shi Qingqian's shy look and smiled to help her out: "Okay, okay, don't crowd around. It makes me feel embarrassed. We are taking me to get familiar with the environment."

The crowd then dispersed, but they still looked back at Shi Qingqian from time to time.

Then they came to the canteen in the army.

The aroma of food is already wafting from the entrance of the cafeteria, making people salivate.

"Sister, this is the canteen of our family compound. Although the food is not very rich, it can fill your stomach. But it is better to cook it yourself at home. Anyway, we have nothing else to do at home," Sister Yang introduced.

Qing Qian didn't say much about this at this time. She had no talent in cooking.

Afterwards, the three of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and then to the military region.

The military area and the family compound are not connected, but are separated.

Walking out of the family compound, the military district gate is opposite.

You can enter the military area only after showing your ID. Inside the military area is a wide playground where many soldiers are training. They are shouting loud slogans and marching in neat steps, showing their military style.

Shi Qingqian looked at those heroic soldiers, her heart filled with admiration.

Mrs. Zheng pointed to a building next to the playground and said, "Sister, that's the headquarters. Your Captain Xu usually works there."
