The first thing Si Lu and Jiang Yan did when they returned to the compound was to tidy up the house and clean up.

The vegetables in the yard grew very tall. Si Lu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You're still growing vegetables?"

"Ah. Yes, it was still a small seedling when I left. I didn't expect it to grow so tall. It must be Aunt Hao who helped water it."

When Jiang Yan left, she wanted to bring Xiaobai with her, so she could just keep it in the space.

But everyone in the family compound knew that she had a dog. If she left, Xiaobai would disappear, and if she came back, Xiaobai would appear again. What would others think?

There was no other choice but to let Xiaobai continue to be the left-behind Xiaobai and entrust it to Aunt Hao.

Jiang Yan also gave the key to the house to Aunt Hao, asking her to take Xiaobai home to ventilate the house. Unexpectedly, Aunt Hao even helped her clean up the vegetable garden, which looked pretty good.

The two put down their luggage and started to work. Si Lu felt sorry for Jiang Yan, so he only let her change the bed sheets and quilt covers in the room. The rest of the washing and cleaning was done by Si Lu.

Jiang Yan had just changed the dirty sheets when Aunt Hao came back with Xiaobai.

"Xiao Jiang, are you back?"

"Auntie Hao." Jiang Yan quickly put the bed sheet in her hand into the basin, "I'm back."

Aunt Hao is only in her early fifties. Her daughter-in-law died of illness two years ago, and there was no one to take care of their four children. So Aunt Hao came to Tianning from her hometown in the countryside to help her son take care of the children.

She was a woman with a miserable life, she looked like she was sixty years old, with a slightly hunched body and wrinkles all over her face. But Aunt Hao was a kind-hearted person who was willing to help her neighbors, and Jiang Yan had a very good impression of her.

"I'm glad you're back. I've brought the dog back to you." Xiaobai strolled leisurely in the yard. When he saw Jiang Yan, he didn't show much affection, as if he had gotten used to it.

"Here, I'll give you the key, too." Aunt Hao smiled lovingly, "Xiao Jiang trusts me, so I have accomplished my mission."

"Thank you, Auntie. I see you helped take care of the vegetable garden, and it's growing well."

"Hey, it's nothing. We are country folk. We don't have any other skills, but growing vegetables is a piece of cake. You guys should take a rest. I'm going home."

"Auntie, I'll see you off." Jiang Yan thought to herself that she would prepare some delicious food tomorrow and go visit Auntie Hao's house.

Just as she was secretly thinking about what to take so as not to be rejected, she saw Aunt Hao pulling her sleeve mysteriously, "Xiao Jiang."

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

Aunt Hao hesitated to speak, but after thinking for a while, she decided to tell her.

"Xiao Jiang, recently many people in the family compound have been talking about you and the regiment commander."

Talk about them?

"Someone gossiped about us."

Aunt Hao nodded. "They said that you two can't distinguish between public and private matters. I don't quite understand what they said, but someone called you a vixen. You better be careful."

There were rumors in the compound that Si Lu was too selfish. He was clearly going to carry out a mission, but he took his wife with him. What use could his wife be? The two of them were just taking this opportunity to flirt with each other.

No one knew where this rumor came from, but it got more and more outrageous as it spread. In the end, it was out of control. Now, everyone in the entire family compound regarded Jiang Yan as Su Daji.

Jiang Yan nodded, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Oh, thank you for nothing. I know you're not that kind of person. Anyway, you should be careful. I don't understand much, but I know that rumors are like a knife. It hurts when it scrapes someone's body."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I'm fine."

"Well, that's good."

Aunt Hao went back, and Jiang Yan did not tell Si Lu about this matter. Anyway, those women always talk like that and say whatever they want. The men don't care. If it's not too ugly, they will just laugh it off.

Si Lu is the head of the group, and it is his job to preside over the work of the group. She solved this little thing by herself.

What's wrong with Daji? Not everyone can become Daji.

Jiang Yan didn't take the matter to heart and continued cleaning. By the time the two of them finished cleaning the house, their stomachs were growling with hunger.

Si Lu simply decided not to cook and went to the cafeteria to buy food.

"I'm going to buy two stir-fries to treat you. My dear wife, you've worked so hard."

"Okay, go ahead." Jiang Yan waved her hand. She took the opportunity to take a bath. She didn't want to go to the bathhouse. There was everything in the space. It was so convenient.

"I'll go back quickly."

Si Lu found the lunch box, washed it again, put it in a net bag and went to the cafeteria.

I met a lot of people along the way.

When Political Commissar Liu heard that Si Lu had gone to the cafeteria, he hurried to the cafeteria to look for him. He didn't see him on the first floor, so he went to the second floor and saw Si Lu waiting for Xiao Chao.

"When did you come back?"

"You just arrived and you're out of breath. Is there something wrong?"

The political commissar pointed at the two large bubbles at the corners of his mouth and said, "I was so worried. Fortunately, you came back. Otherwise, I would be too busy to handle everything. I'm afraid I would vomit blood from exhaustion."

"What happened?"

"How about we talk about it tomorrow?" Political Commissar Liu said, "You just got back, so you should take a good rest."

"Let's go to the office. I'll take the meal back to my wife first. We'll meet later."

"Well, okay, this matter really depends on you to make the decision."

After a while, the kitchen prepared the dishes.

Si Lu bought a few more steamed buns and carried them back to the staff quarters.

"Is the captain back?"

"When did the captain come back? Where is your wife?"

Si Lu nodded slightly, "She is at home, sisters-in-law, I will go back first."

"Okay, go ahead!"

"Hey, go back now."

As soon as Si Lu left, these people started chatting.

"See? She doesn't even cook. She just tells her husband to buy her food. What a spendthrift woman. Does she really think she is the daughter of a landlord?"

A sour smell spread among these people. Everyone hoped that they were Jiang Yan, and when she was not, Jiang Yan was wrong.

"Who said it wasn't? She's such a spendthrift. I think what Captain Pi's wife said is right. She is just too ungrateful. She relies on her youth and the men listen to her. Humph, who knows what she will be like in the future?" Who knows, she might be beaten eight times a day.

"I think the leader has a good temper."

"That's because he's still young. Wait a few years, and then you'll see when he has a child."

Men will change. When you first get married, they will say sweet words to you and want to give you their heart. But after a long time, they will get bored and lose the initial passion, especially after having children. There are elderly and children at home, and dozens of mouths waiting for him, which will wear out the patience of men.

"She only looks okay now. After she gives birth, she will look completely different. Who hasn't been young? When we were young, weren't our waists also 1.8 feet long?"

"That's right. If I were ten years younger, I'd be more handsome than her."
