After the vegetables were planted, the sky had already turned gray. The two buckets of water that Nie Shenyuan had brought were not enough, so he went to fetch more water.

Xie Qingyu stayed where she was and waited for him to return.

The woman next to Xie Qingyu teased her, "I didn't know Deputy Commander Nie was so caring. He doesn't even want you to do this little bit of heavy work."

"My body isn't strong enough to do any strenuous work, and this kind of work is easy for them," Xie Qingyu said.

"That's true. They train much harder in the team every day than this, but some men just don't want to do this kind of work. They look down on it. Look at Deputy Regiment Commander Nie, he came without saying a word." The woman was still praising him.

"He is indeed capable." Xie Qingyu praised Nie Shenyuan generously at this moment.

“Deputy Commander Nie is a good man; quite a few people like him,” another woman said.

Her words made the woman who had initially spoken to her feel a little awkward.

Xie Qingyu smiled, knowing that this was a reminder to herself.

“He has indeed become more popular,” Xie Qingyu said.

"Yes, he's good-looking and tall, and very popular with young girls. Now that he dotes on his wife, he'll probably be even more popular. You should keep an eye on him; you can't afford to lose this good life." The sister-in-law reminded Xie Qingyu, afraid she hadn't noticed.

"I will, thank you, sister-in-law." Xie Qingyu smiled and looked at her.

Most of the military spouses here are very nice, and most of them came here from far away from their hometowns, so there's a sense of camaraderie among them.

"It's good that you know." After saying that, the woman saw that Nie Shenyuan had also returned, and immediately went to her own vegetable garden.

Nie Shenyuan had just seen Xie Qingyu talking to his sister-in-law from afar, but by the time he arrived, his sister-in-law had already gone far away.

Seeing that Xie Qingyu got along well with the other sisters-in-law, Nie Shenyuan was also quite pleased. "What were you talking about with your sisters-in-law just now?"

"My sister-in-law praised you as a good man and told me to keep an eye on you," Xie Qingyu said truthfully.

Nie Shenyuan was pleased to hear this, "My sister-in-law is a good person."

"Does praising you make me a good person?" Xie Qingyu teased him.

Nie Shenyuan immediately fell silent.

"Alright, let's go now that we're done." Nie Shenyuan worked very quickly, and even so, it was already dark by the time he finished.

Afraid that Tuanzi would fall, Nie Shenyuan carried him on his shoulder.

Then they carried the empty buckets home.

After arriving home, he took a bucket and fetched two more buckets of water to boil for a bath.

All three of us worked in the fields today, so we all need to take a good shower.

After the water is boiled, give the dumpling a bath first.

Xie Qingyu has now handed over the task of bathing Tuanzi to Nie Shenyuan, the reason being to enhance the relationship between the father and son, and since they are both men, it would be more convenient for Nie Shenyuan to bathe him.

Nie Shenyuan took the opportunity to wash himself as well, and also taught Tuanzi how a man should bathe himself. Fortunately, it was summer, so he wasn't worried about Tuanzi catching a cold.

After Nie Shenyuan and Tuanzi finished washing up, they cleaned up the house. By this time, the water they had boiled for Xie Qingyu outside had also come to a boil.

After bringing in the hot water, it was Xie Qingyu's turn to take a shower.

Xie Qingyu always takes a little longer to take a bath. By the time she finished and came out, Nie Shenyuan had already put Tuanzi to sleep and tidied up the outside.

Seeing Xie Qingyu come out and sit in the main room drying her hair, he hesitated for a moment, then went up and took the hair from her to help her dry it.

“Tuanzi is already asleep,” Nie Shenyuan said.

"Hmm, did you change his pajamas?"

This was Xie Qingyu's request: to make pajamas for Tuanzi from his old, outdated clothes, so he wouldn't have to sleep in his daytime clothes.

Even Nie Shenyuan was asked to do the same by Xie Qingyu.

However, Nie Shenyuan usually changes out of his training clothes when he comes back, so he doesn't need to buy extra clothes.

The night was quiet outside, and the two people in the main room had a feeling of being an old married couple.

"Aren't you going on any missions lately?" Xie Qingyu asked.

"I'm not going out lately, I'll stay home." Nie Shenyuan thought Xie Qingyu was asking him if he would be going out recently.

“I see.” Xie Qingyu thought for a moment. In the original plot, Nie Shenyuan was in danger during a mission. Yu Lingling found someone to save him, which led to their marriage.

Xie Qingyu was confident that she could disrupt Yu Lingling and Nie Shenyuan's relationship, so she couldn't guarantee Nie Shenyuan's safety at that time.

Therefore, we can only remind Nie Shenyuan in advance.

But it's a bit too early to say now.

Can I go into the military region?

"Yes, as long as you register properly and it's not during training time."

"Can I come over during lunchtime?"

"You're going?" Nie Shenyuan didn't react for a moment. "Then I'll come pick you up tomorrow at noon, and we can eat in the cafeteria then."

"I'm going to find Yu Lingling," Xie Qingyu said.

When Nie Shenyuan first heard that Xie Qingyu was going over, he didn't think about it at all. Now he realizes what Xie Qingyu was thinking.

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

"I don't need you. You don't need to come back to pick me up. Just pretend you don't know I'm going. Here, draw me a map to get to the cultural troupe." Xie Qingyu took a pen and asked him to draw her a map, hoping to head straight to the cultural troupe tomorrow.

The next day, Xie Qingyu changed her clothes, wearing the same outfit she had worn when she came to find Nie Shenyuan. It was very simple, but she dressed Tuanzi up neatly.

She finished the lunch Nie Shenyuan had left before leaving at noon, then took Tuanzi and went out.

"When Mommy goes to find someone, if Mommy cries, can you cry a little too?" Xie Qingyu asked the little dumpling in her arms.

"Don't cry." Tuanzi subconsciously looked at Xie Qingyu's face, thinking that she was crying.

Xie Qingyu smiled and said, "It's alright."

Xie Qingyu has been taking better care of herself lately, as has Tuanzi. Both of them look good, and the person registering the marriage kept looking at Xie Qingyu.

After Xie Qingyu went inside, she headed straight for the cultural troupe.

Although she knew the way to the performing arts troupe, she pretended not to know it and asked everyone she met how to get there.

It's lunchtime now, and the area outside is mostly filled with soldiers heading out to eat. They all gave directions to Xie Qingyu when she asked for them.

Someone recognized the little dumpling in her arms and realized that she was Nie Shenyuan's wife. They immediately became curious about what she was doing at the cultural troupe.

Xie Qingyu would ask for directions at almost every intersection, and one very kind young soldier even took her there directly.

However, if he knew that Xie Qingyu came here for this reason, he would probably regret not staying to watch the show.

The members of the performing arts troupe have already returned from their meals; they usually eat at different times.

Because there was a performance just two days ago, all the members of the performing arts troupe are here now; none of them have been sent out.

They were all there when Xie Qingyu arrived, and they were a little surprised to see her.

Several of them had seen Xie Qingyu before and knew she was Nie Shenyuan's wife, but they didn't know why she was here.

However, as she approached, many people subconsciously looked at Yu Lingling, since Yu Lingling had never hidden her feelings for Nie Shenyuan.

Xie Qingyu followed their gaze and saw Yu Lingling.

I simply picked up the dumpling and went over.

Yu Lingling was initially puzzled when she saw Xie Qingyu, but she became a little flustered when she saw Xie Qingyu carrying the child and heading straight towards her.

Yu Lingling knew about Jia Ting's meeting with Nie Shenyuan yesterday; in fact, she was the one who begged for it.

However, she also knew that Nie Shenyuan had refused. She had scolded Nie Shenyuan for a long time yesterday, complaining that he was not ambitious and that Xie Qingyu was the one who was holding him back.

Yu Lingling was thinking of asking Nie Shenyuan in person, but unexpectedly Xie Qingyu came to her door.

"Yu Lingling!" Xie Qingyu called her name directly, pinning her to the spot, leaving her no way to hide.

"What are you doing?" Yu Lingling was a little flustered at this moment.

It's not that Xie Qingyu isn't from the countryside, but could it be that she learned the ways of country people to throw tantrums after only a few years in the countryside? Yu Lingling was a little worried that Xie Qingyu might fight with her.

"Please, I beg you, let my man go." Xie Qingyu stood in front of her, but didn't make a move. Just speaking made Yu Lingling's vision go black.

She never expected Xie Qingyu to speak so bluntly.

"I know you like my man, and I know your parents are capable and want him to have a better life with you, but you can't be so heartless as to kill my son and me." Xie Qingyu's voice was loud and clear, so everyone present could understand her.

Xie Qingyu's two sentences immediately drew everyone's attention. The bolder ones stared openly, while the less timid ones pretended to be busy and glanced in their direction.

Although Yu Lingling did such a thing, she never imagined that Xie Qingyu would say it like that in public.

She felt a burning sensation on her face and wished there was a crack in the ground she could disappear into.

"You, you're talking nonsense," Yu Lingling couldn't help but say.

Xie Qingyu's voice did not soften at all, "Before I came, you didn't know, that's fine. After I came, my man told you that he had a family. Who knew you still liked him? Are you asking me to make room for you? How am I supposed to survive? Take the child back to my hometown and starve to death?"

“I didn’t say that, you…”

"You didn't say that. Didn't you tell your mother to tell my man yesterday that if he married you, you would help him? And you even asked me to take the child home alone. Now you're saying you didn't mean that? What do you mean then? Are you going to be a mistress? That's not allowed now." Xie Qingyu's eyes widened slightly, as if she was also shocked by the truth she had guessed.

"You're talking nonsense." Yu Lingling's mind was blank, and this was the only sentence she could say subconsciously.

Xie Qingyu kept saying, "Look at other people, can you find someone who doesn't have a wife? Don't break up our family." Xie Qingyu's voice lowered, and she lowered her head and shed tears, looking very pitiful.

The little dumpling in her arms anxiously reached out to wipe away her tears, making her look even more pitiful.
