The two ordered the furniture, and on the day the furniture factory delivered the goods, they drove the furniture to their new home.

When they arrived at the place, Li Changpu found people to help them move the furniture. They were all young men in their twenties, busy around the big truck. When they saw Jiang Tingxia, their eyes lit up and they called her "sister-in-law" several times and worked extra hard.

The young man with a crew cut came over carrying a single-seater wooden sofa and said, "Sister-in-law, please move aside, don't bump into it."

It seemed that this man was older than her, but he called her sister-in-law so naturally that Jiang Tingxia felt a little embarrassed.

Li Changpu introduced, "This is Han Yusheng. He was my bodyguard during the war."

After hearing Li Changpu introduce him, Han Yusheng smiled at Jiang Tingxia, "Sister-in-law, just call me Xiao Han."

He also mentioned the previous events, and said with a smile, "I attended the wedding when you married our leader."

Jiang Tingxia didn't have much of an impression of the hasty wedding. She just smiled and looked at Han Yusheng carrying the sofa. She said, "This thing is not light. How come you can carry it by yourself? It will be easier if two people carry it together."

Han Yusheng was carrying the sofa, looking very relaxed. After hearing what Jiang Tingxia said, he blushed a little, "It's not heavy, not heavy. I can carry it."

Jiang Tingxia then said to everyone, "Thank you for helping me move today."

Although they called her sister-in-law, at first glance Jiang Tingxia was just a little girl. She was polite, pretty, and spoke gently, making the guys feel a little embarrassed.

Han Yusheng carried the sofa and left. He was still thinking in his heart that he had met Jiang Tingxia when Captain Li got married and greeted her, but she didn't even raise her eyes and ignored him.

At that time, the sister-in-law's face was as cold as the ice in the river.

When we met again, he felt as if he had become a different person.

Li Changpu rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm going to move the furniture too. When I'm busy, there will be too many people and it will be too messy to take care of you. Don't come near me. Just stay outside for a while."

Jiang Tingxia didn't want to go over and cause trouble, so she hid aside and waited until all the big items were moved before she went over.

Just when she was standing aside bored, an old lady came over and asked, "Are you going to move in here?"

Jiang Tingxia looked at the person who was speaking. There were wrinkles on her face and silver threads in her hair, but her brows and eyes looked relaxed and she looked in good spirits.

Seeing Jiang Tingxia looking at her, the old lady pointed to a yard and explained, "I live next door to your house. My son is a battalion commander in the army. Your husband is still under the leadership of my son."

Knowing the old lady's identity, Jiang Tingxia replied, "Yes, I'll move in once everything is ready."

The old lady looked at the people moving furniture and said, "I knew someone was going to live next door. I have seen your Captain Li a few times. He came to clean the house and pull weeds. Last time, he even came to my house to borrow insecticide."

Li Changpu never told Jiang Tingxia about these things, so she naturally didn't know about them.

The old lady smiled and said, "It's the first time I see you."

"We live next door to each other. You can just call me Aunt Feng. If you need help, just let me know."

At this time, a woman came with a bamboo basket filled with rolling soybeans. She was stout and walked steadily and quickly. She stopped beside Jiang Tingxia and said, "This must be Captain Li's wife, right?"

"I was wondering why it was so lively so early in the morning. Turns out your family is moving in here."

The woman introduced, "My old Kong and your Captain Li are old acquaintances. You can just call me Sister-in-law Kong."

She said, "I live in the front, come visit me when you have time."

Jiang Tingxia said, "Definitely."

"Just call me Ting Xia."

It was the first time they met, Jiang Tingxia didn't know what to talk about and stood aside awkwardly.

Mrs. Kong also talked about something else. She stepped on the ground and said, "I saw Captain Li leading people to re-pave this road with stones a while ago. I guessed that you should move in in the next two days."

Jiang Tingxia looked at the ground. She really didn't pay attention to the problem with the road surface. The last time she came, she just took a quick look at the environment. When Mrs. Kong said this, she remembered that it was true.

The last time I came here, this small piece of land was still a yellow mud road. When the snow melted, you would get muddy with every step you took, which was inconvenient.

Jiang Tingxia asked, "He was the one who changed this road."

Mrs. Kong talked about this and said incessantly, "That's right. I've lived here for almost two years. This road is like this. It's not noticeable at ordinary times. When it rains or snows, you have to walk on mud. It's not a big problem, so no one has cared about it. No one complained. I didn't realize it until the road was repaved. It's much more convenient."

She said to Aunt Feng, "We are the first to benefit from your family moving in."

She praised him again, "Leader Li is the youngest leader here. Look at how efficient he is, how hardworking he is, and how he works."

Aunt Feng added, "Yes, every time he comes, he starts working as soon as he opens the door, and he does his work very carefully. A grown man, who is usually so busy with work, can still think of spraying insecticide at home in advance, and he can consider every aspect."

Li Changpu came over at this time. There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He wiped it with a towel and then put the towel on his shoulders. "What are you talking about? You look so happy."

Seeing him coming, Mrs. Kong and Aunt Feng greeted him with a smile. Jiang Tingxia also walked over and stood beside him, "I'm praising you."

"I don't even know when you cleaned up this yard."

The last time he brought me here, the yard was still full of dead branches and leaves, with patches of dry and yellow weeds. This time, I saw that the yard was clean and tidy.

Jiang Tingxia thought that someone was responsible for cleaning and didn't take it seriously. But after hearing what the neighbors said, she realized that Li Changpu did it himself.

Li Changpu didn't take it seriously and just said, "I came here for meetings a few times before and cleaned it up while I was there."

He took a look at the yard and said, "We have almost moved everything. Come in and see where to put it."

Jiang Tingxia followed Li Changpu into the house. Several guys were carrying a wardrobe. "Sister-in-law, where should we put this?"

Li Changpu pointed to the big house, and the two of them took the young man in.

Jiang Tingxia looked around the room, then pointed to the wall. Fearing that the two would have to work too hard, he quickly said, "Just put it here."

Everyone was busy, and Aunt Feng from next door, who I just met, came over.

This time she did not come alone. Two women followed her. One had her hair tied up, dressed like a married woman, and the other had two braids, dressed like an unmarried girl.

Three women came in carrying thermoses and trays.

Aunt Feng spoke first, "You just arrived, so you must not have started cooking yet. I was thinking of bringing some water."

Jiang Tingxia was very grateful to them. Li Changpu asked someone to come and help. They spent the whole morning moving things and didn't even have a sip of water to drink. It was really unfair.

Jiang Tingxia asked the neighbor women to put the things on the big table set up outside the yard, "Aunt Feng, thank you so much."

Aunt Feng laughed twice and said, "Just a sip of water, what are you thanking me for?"

She hugged the girl with braids affectionately and said, "This is my daughter, Xiang Xiaoyun."

She patted her daughter's arm and said, "Call someone."
