"Oh, is anyone home?" Wei Xiuqing was awakened by the shouting of a woman outside, and her mood became a little bad.

She climbed up from the bed, tidied her clothes and hair, then stood up and walked out.

Didn't Su Shiqun close the door when he left? She didn't expect that she would fall asleep just like that.

But who is this? His voice was so high that it scared her!

Wei Xiuqing had just come out of the bedroom when she saw a woman with dark yellow skin and two long braids walking in with a basket of vegetables.

"Hey, big sister is here? I live in the home of Battalion Commander Wang Han on the third floor of Building No. 1 in front. My name is Zhao Xique. You can call me sister-in-law or Sister Xique!"

As she spoke, she wanted to step forward and hold Wei Xiuqing's hand in a familiar manner.

Wei Xiuqing quickly took two steps back to avoid her hand and said:

"I'm sorry, we just moved here and are not familiar with the surrounding environment. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?" She had a warm and gentle smile on her face, but she didn't look friendly.

"Sister, you are so polite. I heard that there is a very beautiful person coming to our family compound, so I wanted to come and see her.

These are vegetables I grew at home. I brought some for you. Don’t be disgusted by them, sister-in-law!” As she spoke, she took out the vegetables from her basket. It was a large handful of water spinach, lush green and very fresh.

"How could that be! Thank you so much, sister-in-law. My husband and I are so lucky to have such a delicious meal." Wei Xiuqing saw that the other person was so enthusiastic, and it was not good for her to keep her at a distance. So she took the food with both hands and thanked him with a smile.

"Hey, what's the big deal? It's just some food. We're neighbors, and we'll have plenty of interactions in the future!"

"Your sister-in-law looks so young, she hasn't given birth yet, right? Which battalion is your husband from?"

Zhao Xique has been a curious person since he was a child, and of course he is also a warm-hearted person.

Therefore, she is always the first to get the latest news from those who are with her.

Just today, I heard that a very good-looking couple came here, and the army even allocated a house for them. Although it is not a building like theirs, it is the largest bungalow here, so the level must not be low.

Of course, the lowest standard for joining the army here is to be at the deputy battalion level, or to have ten years of military service, or to be an officer who is at least 35 years old.

For ordinary soldiers, they must have 15 years of military service or be at least years old.

Of course, these regulations are only temporary and may be adjusted in the future.

Zhao Xique's man not only meets the age requirement, but also has a high enough rank, which is why she came to join the army as soon as possible.

Who made them not even have a child after being married for so many years because they were apart so little?

Don’t be fooled by her young appearance. In fact, Zhao Xique is already 28 years old, and her husband is seven years older than her.

The reason why the two of them were able to get together was entirely because her family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, and he was already an adult and still not at home all day. The elders at home were worried, so they secretly arranged a marriage for them.

Fortunately, her husband still had a conscience. In the end, he not only held a wedding with her, but also went back to pick her up after the army stabilized.

"Well, I didn't ask about that. Hasn't he just arrived? When he went to report, the leader gave him two days off. After he officially starts working, he should know where he will be assigned, right?" Wei Xiuqing really didn't think of asking this, but she heard those young soldiers call him Su Tuan. It seems that he is a regimental commander, but she doesn't know which regiment he is the commander of.

"Oh, yeah, which unit are you guys from? I haven't heard anything about them before.

However, there aren't many family members coming to our family compound right now, and there are many empty houses. Why don't you choose a building to live in? "Even if we live in a bungalow, this place is too remote, right? She came here today and walked for a long time.

“Hehe… I’ve been used to living in this kind of house since I was a child, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to adapt to living in a building.

I like quietness, so I chose this place. It's all in the family compound anyway, so I think it's pretty good." Wei Xiuqing answered every question and chatted with Zhao Xique without any awkwardness.

Just when she was getting impatient and was about to find an excuse to get rid of him, a car horn sounded outside.

"Well, sister-in-law, go and do what you need. My husband should be back from shopping. We're going to be busy, so we won't entertain you!"

As she spoke, Wei Xiuqing stood up from the chair and walked quickly into the bedroom. Before Zhao Xique reached the door, she rushed over and stuffed a small cloth bag into her hand, the same one she had given to the two little soldiers before.

She had prepared all these long ago, and the total weight of the contents was only about one pound.

Six peanut candies, six peanuts, six red dates, six walnuts, and six mung bean glutinous rice cakes wrapped in paper can be considered a presentable gift.

"What is your sister-in-law doing? I dare not accept this as my sister-in-law, otherwise my husband will teach me a lesson when I get home." Although Zhao Xique likes gossip, she is not a person who likes to take advantage of small gains.

Although the small bag that Wei Xiuqing took out was not big, it looked bulging with things, and the bag was also exquisitely made. How could she dare to accept it?

"If you don't accept it, you're being distant with me, right? Look, I accepted the dishes you brought immediately, without any hesitation.

You came to my house today but you didn't even have a glass of water. There is really nothing I can use at home.

This is the first time we met, so I would be so generous as to give you a gift. You can take it back to sweeten your mouth. It's not worth much." If she comes again in the future, he will definitely not give her anything.

Seeing that she was giving it sincerely, Zhao Xique accepted it readily. At worst, he could just send her more dishes later.

They just arrived and have to spend money to buy vegetables if they want to eat. How uneconomical!

While the two of them were talking, Su Shiqun came in carrying some things.

"Okay, sister-in-law, please go back today. We'll talk again after that!" Wei Xiuqing pulled Zhao Xique, and the two of them stood aside to make way for Su Shiqun.

"Well, I'd better help you move all your things before going back!

Anyway, it's still early to cook, and there's nothing to do at home." Zhao Xique put the things in his hands on the windowsill, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get started.
