After dinner, Lu Zechuan took her hand and showed her around the house.

The house has two bedrooms and one living room. The kitchen is in the back, the toilet is in the corner of the yard, and there is a well outside the kitchen, so water is readily available.

The house was left over from before and looked a bit old. After Lu Zechuan got the application approved, he had it renovated, and the interior is now brand new.

The room facing south is the master bedroom, and the other room has been set up as a study, complete with a desk and bookshelves. There is also a rattan chair under the window, where you can lie down and rest when you get tired of reading.

It's clear that the person who arranged it put a lot of thought into it.

The clothes and bedding she sent had already been sorted by Lu Zechuan and neatly arranged in the wardrobe.

Wen Li didn't have to do anything; she could just move in. "Did you do all of this?"

"Okay, see if there's anything else I need to add. I'll get it back after training the day after tomorrow!"

"Not yet, but everything is complete!"

Wen Li walked to the bedside. The bed was covered with a thick quilt, which was not hard at all and suited Wen Li's habits in every way, which showed Lu Zechuan's thoughtfulness.

"Grandpa and his family are planning to hold a banquet in ten days. What do you think?"

When are my parents coming back?

Wen Li wrote a letter to her father and his family, but she hadn't had a chance to ask them when they would have time.

"It will take another week, but that's to make it easier for them, so we've set it for ten days from now!"

"Okay, I have no objection!"

By the time we finished packing, it was already getting dark.

Lu Zechuan glanced at his watch. "I have to go back to the dorm. You should get some rest!"

"You don't live here?" Wen Li asked, then realized that there was only one bed in the room. They hadn't registered their marriage yet, and people would gossip if they lived together.

"So when are you moving in?"

Lu Zechuan stepped forward and hugged Wen Li, planting a kiss on the top of her head. "I'll move in after we get our marriage certificate tomorrow!"

Lu Zechuan's voice was a little hoarse. Wen Li wrapped her arms around his lean waist, and the two bodies pressed tightly together, feeling each other's warmth.

Wen Li touched his abs through his clothes.

"Don't move!" Lu Zechuan grabbed Wen Li's restless hand, suppressing the inexplicable heat rising within him. "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. If you need anything, go next door to Aunt Jiang. She's the political commissar's wife and also the women's director of the family compound!"

"Okay, I can take care of myself. You should go back and rest!"

The two hadn't seen each other for six months, and Lu Zechuan was reluctant to part with her, but Wen Li wanted to kick him out, calling him "heartless little devil!"

Wen Li pushed his chest. "How am I heartless? Aren't they going to do room checks? Let's go!"

It was getting late, so I could only reluctantly give her a deep kiss on the forehead.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, and I'll bring you breakfast!"

"Okay, be careful on the road!"

After seeing Lu Zechuan off, Wen Li had a triumphant smile on her face. She really loved Lu Zechuan's physique; his abs were clearly defined, and his waist was strong and powerful.

And that place, that curve...

Just thinking about it made her blush. She silently marveled at how well she had eaten!

Lying on the soft bed, I quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Wen Li went to bed early last night and got up early.

Wen Li was going to get her marriage certificate today, and she originally wanted to dress up nicely, but considering the current situation, she decided against it.

So she wore a white shirt and styled her hair into two neat, stiff braids.

Even without makeup, her fair and radiant face is still incredibly beautiful.

When Lu Zechuan came in, he saw that Wen Li had already gotten ready. Today, he was also wearing a white shirt and military green trousers. His buzz cut made him look clean and neat.

"The cafeteria has dumplings today, let's have breakfast first!"

"good!"

After the two finished eating, Lu Zechuan washed the lunchbox and led her out of the courtyard.

Right now, it's peak time for older women to go out to buy groceries.

Upon seeing the striking couple, everyone started teasing them.

"Hey, Lu, this must be your fiancée? She's really pretty!"

Lu Zechuan smiled and nodded, then introduced Wen Li, "This is Aunt Jiang! Aunt Jiang, this is my wife, Wen Li!"

"Hello Aunt Jiang, hello everyone! My name is Wen Li, and I hope you'll all take good care of me in the future!"

"Hello, hello, young lady, you're very beautiful. I heard you're Battalion Commander Wen's sister?"

"Yes, Wen Xu is my brother!"

Wen Xu and Lu Zechuan were originally the most sought-after men in the military, but Lu Zechuan was already taken, so now everyone had their eyes on Wen Xu.

Upon hearing that Wen Li was Wen Xu's younger sister, everyone enthusiastically chatted with her.

Seeing that Wen Li was about to be surrounded by everyone asking her all sorts of questions, Lu Zechuan stepped forward and stopped the aunties.

"Dear aunties, Xiaoli and I are going to get our marriage certificate today. We'll treat you all to wedding candy when we get back!"

"Oh my, congratulations! We aunties are waiting for your wedding candy!"

"Okay, see you later!"

After the aunties dispersed, Wen Li let out a heavy sigh of relief. "I never imagined my brother was so popular!"

"Your brother is capable and good-looking. He became a battalion commander at a young age, so naturally the aunties like him more!"

"And what about you?"

Lu Zechuan took her hand. "Don't I have you now?"

As soon as they left the residential compound, Xu Yuan's car was already waiting at the gate.

Xu Yuan waved to the two of them with a smile, "Wen Zhiqing, long time no see!"

Seeing familiar faces, Wen Li was in a good mood. "Xu Yuan, long time no see! How have you been?"

"It's alright. Jiaojiao and I have already registered our marriage. We plan to rent a house in the village, and once I'm eligible to accompany my military spouse, we'll move into the family compound!"

"When is she coming?"

"She still has some things to take care of at home, and she'll be coming over in two months. Then you'll have something to say to her!"

"That's great! I'll have company then!"

The three were already familiar with each other, and Wen Li's initial unease gradually dissipated.

Upon arriving at the Certificate Authority, the first step is to have your photo taken, followed by receiving your certificate.

Seeing the marriage certificate in the shape of an award certificate in their hands, Wen Li looked at it over and over again, and the smiles on their faces never faded.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a few kilograms of fruit candy.

Back at the family compound, Lu Zechuan took Wen Li to meet the neighbors and then distributed wedding candies.

Wen Li has now become acquainted with everyone.

That evening, Lu Zechuan brought all his belongings from the dormitory over.

The thought of sleeping in the same bed with Lu Zechuan that night instantly sapped Wen Li's courage. "I'm going to take a shower first!" she said, grabbing her clothes and running out of the room.

As Lu Zechuan watched Wen Li's retreating figure, his tense muscles gradually relaxed.

He cursed himself for being spineless. The woman was shy, so why was he, a grown man, shy?

Wen Li dawdled through her shower and came out with her cheeks and neck flushed red.

"Are you hot?" Lu Zechuan raised his hand and touched her forehead.

"No, no, you go take a shower first!" Wen Li slapped his hand away, her words stammering.
