However, she doesn't use this often. When she goes out from the family compound, she pushes the stroller. If she's in the yard, she just carries it.

So this was the first time Shen Jingyue had ever carried something like this.

Qin Xiang'an helped her tie the ribbon.

There are two shoulder straps, and for better fixation, there is also a wider, longer strap. That strap can also be wrapped around the front, so you can tie it yourself without much effort.

After finishing all that, Shen Jingyue took a bag full of baby diapers and bottles.

There aren't many things, and there's some in my space. If the child gets hungry or wets himself, she can find a place to go into my space to change him.

What he was holding was merely a cover.

"Are you sure you don't need me to come with you?" Qin Xiang'an was still a little worried.

"Really, there's no need. Don't worry, I'll be back with the kids this afternoon."

She took the bag from Qin Xiang'an and walked outside.

Sister Wang and Sister Lu were already waiting at the door.

When she came out, she was holding a child in her arms and carrying a bag of things in her hand.

Sister Wang went over and took the things from her hands.

Qin Xiang'an followed behind and said to his two sisters-in-law, "Sisters-in-law, please take care of me on the way."

"Don't worry, I won't lose your wife and kids."

Sister Wang found it amusing to see Deputy Regiment Commander Qin looking so worried.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Ms. Shen had gone on a long trip.

"That's right, they'll be back from the county this afternoon, don't worry," Sister-in-law Lu said with a smile.

"Alright, you can go back now. We're leaving, or we'll miss our train."

Shen Jingyue, carrying the child, took the lead and walked forward. If she didn't move soon, her face would burn.

This man acts like he's never been far from home, worrying about everything. Has he forgotten that he came all the way from his hometown to get here?

It's just a trip to a county, but this man is acting like he's going on a long journey, worrying about this and that.

But seeing how worried he was about me made me feel really sweet inside.

On the way to the military base, Sister Wang joked with a smile.

"Your Deputy Regiment Commander Qin really knows how to take care of people. Look at him, when you went to the county, he looked like he wanted to come with you."

"If it were my husband, he wouldn't care where I go, he wouldn't even ask me a question."

As Sister Wang said these words, her heart was filled with envy.

Since that time she wouldn't let her husband into the house, he's been a bit more well-behaved.

He'll lend a hand when asked to do something, but otherwise he's the same as before. Don't even think about him treating his wife like Deputy Regiment Commander Qin does.

"My wife is the same way. The only one who can rival Deputy Regiment Commander Qin in how much he dotes on his wife is Battalion Commander Zhong in the family compound."

All the good men and good husbands belong to other people; you shouldn't even think about your own.

"Please stop teasing me, ladies. It makes me feel embarrassed."

"Okay, okay, I know you're shy, I won't say anything."

Remembering what Sister Shen had asked her to inquire about a couple of days ago, Sister Wang said, "Sister Shen, regarding the face cream, a few people want it, but they also asked how much a jar costs."

Actually, what many people said they wanted before was probably related to the incident a while ago when Deputy Regiment Commander Qin's adoptive mother from his hometown came and caused trouble.

Although the matter has been clarified, some people still don't believe it, as most people in this residential compound are opportunistic.

When she went to ask, those who had originally said they wanted it all said they didn't want it anymore.

Only a few of my close female friends said they wanted it.

However, it also depends on the price; if it's too expensive, they might not want to buy it.

Shen Jingyue has been walking around the family compound these past few days, so she naturally knows some things.

She can't control what other people think. Once she's made up her mind, no matter how much you talk, she won't believe you.

So she understood what Sister Wang was saying.

Anyway, she never thought about buying in the family compound. If someone wants it, she's willing to buy it; if not, she won't force them.

"Okay, but the price might be a bit high, since it's all made with medicinal herbs. It's one yuan and fifty cents a bottle, no coupons required."

"If you need anything, Sister Wang, just let me know, and I'll give you the things. You can then give them to them for me."

"Okay," Sister Wang agreed.

"But isn't 1.5 yuan a bit expensive?" It's enough to buy two pounds of meat while sitting down.

Shen Jingyue shook her head, "It's not expensive. These things all require costs and manpower. Most importantly, they are effective. I only gave it a discount because of the people in the family compound."

If she were to sell it on the black market, she would definitely sell it for two yuan a bottle.

"Wait, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."

Shen Jingyue and Sister Wang exchanged a smile, and Sister Wang then told Sister Lu about the matter.

"Oh, I didn't know that happened. But the face cream that Sister Shen gave me is really good. Look, my face has become much whiter."

"Sister Shen, I'll buy some more from you when I'm done using them."

Sister-in-law Lu has all the money in her household, so she's willing to spend some money on herself.

Moreover, my face has become whiter and smoother, and even Lao Lu said I look better.

She has to use it every day, otherwise she'll have to work every day. If she stops using it in the future, won't she turn back into the same haggard woman she used to be?

She didn't want that. She wanted to treat herself better. Besides, Lao Lu wouldn't say anything about it, since the money was all in her own hands anyway.

"Okay, but this needs to be done privately. Don't talk about it outside."

After all, the current situation is quite serious.

"Yes, yes, we can talk about this in private," said Sister Wang.

We were talking just as we were about to reach the entrance of the military base.

This is a truck, and the aunties and sisters-in-law who are going to the county are already sitting on it.

Sister Wang and Sister Lu went up first. Shen Jingyue took the child out and handed it to Sister Lu, while Sister Wang reached out to pull her up.

After they found a place to sit down, someone asked, "Oh dear, Comrade Shen is also going to the county? Why are you bringing a child along? Aren't you worried about the inconvenience?"

"I was thinking of buying some things, and I haven't been to the county much, so I thought I'd go take a look since I had some time," Shen Jingyue said as she took the child from Sister-in-law Lu's arms.

"Hey, look, this baby really does look like Deputy Commander Qin."

There were quite a few people in the family compound, including a sister-in-law who had never seen Shen Jingyue's child before. She was sitting opposite her and saw that the child was chubby.

Especially her small face, which looks a lot like Deputy Regiment Commander Qin.

"Isn't that obvious? This is Deputy Regiment Commander Qin's child. Who else would he look like?" Sister-in-law Lu said.

Some of the women's wives doubted what she had said a while ago, and felt that Comrade Shen's child was not that of Deputy Regiment Commander Qin, even though he had clarified that she had been talking nonsense.
