Zhou Shufen had already learned from her husband that the little beauty in front of her was Lu Qinchuan's wife from his hometown in the countryside. They were both from the countryside and had come to join the army, so she naturally put Zhou Ruoyu in her category.

He enthusiastically took the initiative, took Zhou Ruoyu's hand and walked inside, took the lunch box, put it on the table, and helped open it.

When she saw two white flour buns and a salted egg in the lunch box, her eyes widened: "Captain Lu is such a good man! I've been here for so long and I've never seen a man love his wife so much. The food is so delicious."

Although Zhou Ruoyu thought the food was good, she was still not impressed by Zhou Shufen's overly familiar manner. She closed her lunch box and sat down.

"I just came here yesterday and I'm unfamiliar with the place. He said that Mrs. Zhu next door is a good person and I should visit her more often." She hadn't decided how to address Lu Qinchuan yet, so she just called him "he".

"We all came here with the army, and we're neighbors. There's nothing to say between us, hey." Zhou Shufen also sat down at the other side of the table, holding her chin with her hand and looking at Zhou Ruoyu: "Sister, it's the same coarse cloth, how come it doesn't look ugly on you at all?"

"Captain Lu is already in his twenties and doesn't come home often. People always try to introduce him to girls, and some women shamelessly try to get close to him, but he rejects them all. I even told my husband, Old Zhu, that maybe Captain Lu has a problem and doesn't like women. It turns out he has a fairy-like wife at home."

Zhou Shufen didn't treat Zhou Ruoyu as an outsider, and she didn't seem to treat Lu Qinchuan as an outsider either. Zhou Ruoyu burst out laughing: "He has such a cold face, and someone still introduces him to a girl?"

"Oh, Captain Lu is so good-looking! He's tall, strong, and has beautiful eyes and eyebrows. Which girl doesn't like him? There's a nurse named Su in the military hospital. Oh, as soon as she saw Captain Lu, her eyes were almost glued to him. Bah, shameless!"

"Didn't I hear that they were dating?" After all, she is a woman, and she is born with a gene that loves gossip.

Zhou Shufen was stunned. Maybe this little beauty had a problem with her brain. She ate the melon on her own man and looked curious.

The intimate sister immediately came online. She tapped Zhou Ruoyu's forehead and said, "Are you stupid, my sister? Captain Lu already has you, why are you still dating? It's all nonsense, don't believe it."

"Everyone back home knows about it. His sister told me herself."

"Ah," Zhou Shufen couldn't bear it anymore. She leaned forward and closed the distance between them. She whispered, "Nurse Su's name is Su Hongmei. She's the niece of the wife of the military district chief. It would be a lie to say she doesn't have that thought. Even a blind man can see that. But your man—"

Zhou Shumei shook her head and pouted, "I definitely don't have that intention. One time, Captain Lu was sick with a fever, and Su Hongmei heard about it and came here specifically to treat him. Guess what?"

Zhou Ruoyu cooperated and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hey, Captain Lu didn't even open the door for her! The two of them were talking across the courtyard gate, and Captain Lu kept asking her to leave. It was winter, and he made the woman stand there for a full half hour."

Whether they are in a relationship or not has nothing to do with Zhou Ruoyu. Her purpose is just to temporarily use this precious land to lie dormant for a while.

But this military wife, Zhou Shufen, piqued her curiosity: "Sister Zhou, in the middle of winter, you're standing in the yard listening to them talking?"

How much free time do the women in these military compounds have that they can listen to gossip about other people's affairs for half an hour. It seems that modern society is still better. At least women have their own value in life.

Zhou Shufen smiled shyly, realizing she had said too much. She stood up, rubbed her hands, and said, "To be honest, since I joined the army, my life has become more and more idle. I take care of the children during the day and the men at night. I don't have to do anything else."

This woman spoke in a rough manner, but her personality was quite good. Zhou Ruoyu liked her quite a bit, so she said directly, "Sister Zhou, if you feel like you have nothing to do, you can help me out these few days. My yard is too empty, and I want to grow some vegetables so that it will be convenient for me to eat. At least it's better than going to the cafeteria all the time."

"Good idea! Seeing that you are so delicate and tender, you don't have to do farm work. I will help you with whatever you want to grow." Planting vegetables was her forte in her hometown, and she became excited when she heard it.

After seeing off the noisy Zhou Shufen, she opened her lunch box and was greeted by the aroma of white flour buns.

I recalled Zhou Shufen's drooling expression and the words of the soldier who brought her food: "The company commander bought this specially with his salary. We can't usually eat this."

Lu Qinchuan should have the same temperament as his father Lu Fuxiang, and he should feel guilty towards Boss Zhou and her.

I took a bite of the soft and fragrant steamed bun, it was so delicious!

Since he really feels guilty, she can give him this opportunity. Provide him with food and drink, and preferably give him money. Most importantly, he can stay at home. Wouldn't their life be better then?

When she was in a good mood, she accidentally ate both steamed buns. When the sentry who delivered the food came to take the lunch box, he saw that it was empty. He even looked at her a few more times. She was so thin and weak, but she was still a big eater.

Lunch and dinner were delivered on time, often repeating for several days. There were always two steamed buns in the lunch box, and the dishes were either stir-fried vegetables with meat, or spare ribs or something. There was always meat in every meal.

The original owner was weak and had lived in a poor village, barely able to eat anything but coarse grains. Now, suddenly, meat was available, and after just a few meals, he got tired of it.

"Don't put meat in it next time. I can't eat it." Zhou Ruoyu could feel that her waistline had increased a lot through her coarse clothes. She couldn't go on like this.

The sentry had become familiar with her, and seeing that she was no longer blushing, he pouted and patted his empty lunch boxes, saying, "When our company commander was busy, we couldn't even have steamed cornbread, and he specifically instructed us not to get the same meal for you every time. And you, on the other hand, are taking advantage of it and acting like a good boy. Really?"

"Really?" Zhou Ruoyu blinked nonchalantly, "He's quite a nice guy!"

The sentry rolled his eyes and muttered, "You're just taking advantage of being the company commander's sister, so you're so ungrateful."

Zhou Ruoyu suddenly felt like teasing him. She sat at the table, her chin in her hand, and stared at the sentry intently: "How could you tell that I'm your company commander's sister?"

The sentry's hands trembled, and he looked at her a few more times: "If she wasn't his own sister, who would spoil her like that? He would pick the best food for her. That's what he paid for."

Zhou Ruoyu blinked her big eyes and smiled very sweetly: "Is there a possibility that I am his wife from the countryside and he has to support me?"
