Chapter 64 New Home
"Yes, my son is getting married in a few days. If you don't mind, you can come to the wedding banquet." Zhang Xiao chatted happily with Li Baozhu in front of her.

When they went to ask for help today, they found out that Lu Beiting and his group were able to get things done so quickly entirely because someone else relayed the message to them. Humph, they have absolutely no manners.

"Auntie, I heard you say that Battalion Commander Lu is also getting married, is that true?" Li Baozhu glanced at her sideways. If she hadn't been passing by and overheard this woman cursing Lu Beiting, she really wouldn't have known about such an important matter.

When Zhang Xiao heard about Xia Zhi and Lu Beiting, she almost lost her composure. "Hehehe, yes, yes, they were born on the same day as us."

Li Baozhu's smile widened. On the same day, that's great. It seems she needs to spread the news as soon as possible.

Zhang Xiao thought that Li Baozhu was also after Lu Beiting, and felt a little jealous. It seemed that Lu Beiting knew all sorts of people.

Seeing Zhang Xiao's unpleasant expression, Li Baozhu said, "Haha, that's quite a coincidence. I'm just a little curious, I don't know this Battalion Commander Lu either."

Upon hearing that she didn't recognize her, Zhang Xiao immediately stood up to her right and chatted and laughed with her the whole way.

When the car arrived at the gate of the compound, Zhang Xiao deliberately made a lot of noise, just to let others see that they had come back by car.

When Chen Xiuping saw them return, she quickly put on her clothes and came out. "Hey, Liping, why are you back so late?"

Zhang Xiao, who was standing next to her, snorted coldly, "Hmph, it's all Xia Zhi's fault. We went to town with them during the day, but when we came back, they said it was full and there was no room left."

She tugged at Li Baozhu, who was standing beside her, and said, "It's all thanks to Baozhu, such a kind-hearted girl. After learning about our difficulties, she lent us a car and sent us back."

Li Baozhu smiled modestly, "Haha, we're all from the same place, it's only right that we help each other out."

"Look, Baozhu is so sensible, unlike Xia Zhi, who did it all on purpose, just to retaliate! Humph!"

Zhang Xiao warmly welcomed Li Baozhu into the house.

Chen Xiuping had no choice but to wake Hao Dazhuang up so they could help move the things.

But when she looked at the things in the car, she was a little unhappy. "Liping, why is there so little stuff? There's not enough candy and melon seeds at all."

With so little money, and a day spent asking for help, a day of drinking in the middle, and another morning on the third day, wouldn't people laugh at us if this little bag got out?
Those who know it are talking about a wedding banquet; those who don't might think it's just a small matter.

"Oh my god, it's all Xia Zhi and Lu Beiting's fault. They bought almost everything. There wasn't much left when we went. But the owner said that the goods will arrive in a few days, so we can go again."

After Hao Liping finished speaking, she walked towards the room. She had already suffered all day, and now she had to have her wounds reopened again. Who could stand that?

"Hey? This child." Chen Xiuping looked at Hao Liping, who had stormed back home.

She was just trying to help her, and besides, she was just asking and didn't say anything, so why is she acting like she's on fire?

After returning to her room, Hao Liping locked herself in. Thinking of Xia Zhi's smug face, she felt angry.

Why can't she compare to her at anything?

Hao Liping pondered for a long time in her room before finally reaching a conclusion.

Xia Zhi is able to live like this only because of Lu Beiting. All the good things she has now are thanks to Lu Beiting.

She remembered that in her previous life, Lu Beiting spent more than a year in a wheelchair before he began rehabilitation.

Later, due to the late treatment, he developed chronic illness. During a rescue operation on the mountain, he fell off a cliff again. The Lu family spent almost all of their savings to treat his illness.

After that incident, Lu Beiting became despondent and left the army not long after.

As long as she perseveres, she will be the winner.

After thinking it over, Hao Liping felt much better.

The next day, the people in the compound were awakened by the commotion outside.

Zhang Xiao and the others ran out to see what was going on, and they saw Xia Zhi and Lu Beiting with lots of bags and packages, and Zhang Yi following behind them.

"What's happening here?"

Zhang Xiao looked on in confusion. He was doing just fine in the army, so why did he suddenly come to the family compound?

Hao Liping also witnessed this scene, but she knew why. In her previous life, after marrying Lu Beiting, she also lived in the compound. She just didn't expect that this time they would go to the compound next door.

"Zhizi, Battalion Commander, we heard you were coming, so we cleaned the house for you a bit."

Hearing the noise, Zhang Yuling from the next room opened her door and greeted the two of them warmly.

"Thank you, Auntie." Xia Zhi quickly thanked her, feeling quite embarrassed.

Zhang Yuling waved her hand, "No need to thank me. My child kept telling me to help you out when he came back last time."

As Zhang Yuling spoke, she looked at Xia Zhi. She had heard from her son that Zhi Zi was doing very well in the army.

She's always thinking of ways to make them delicious food, and her son has gotten quite chubby.

It's a pity that such a good girl isn't her daughter-in-law.

"Alright, you guys go inside and tidy up a bit more."

Zhang Yuling urged the two of them on.

Xia Zhi pushed open the door and went in for a look. It was a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen in the living room, and there was a bed and a table.

It's clean and spacious now.

We'll gradually furnish our own little home later.

After looking around, Xia Zhi pushed Lu Beiting in. "I think it's pretty good. What do you think?"

It has all the essentials; it has everything you need.

Lu Beiting glanced at her, his gaze settling on her. "Anywhere you are is fine."

Whether it was the dormitory before or the compound now, it's only home with her around.

"Smooth-talking," Xia Zhi snorted, then turned to make the bed.

The smile never faded from his lips.

Lu Beiting glanced at the clutter beside him and then began to help.

Looking at the empty little house gradually filled with things, he felt an indescribable joy.

Once his leg heals, he will work hard to give her a better life.

This tidying up took all morning, and Xia Zhi was so tired that she fell asleep on the bed. The bed was big, at least 1.8 meters long.

After resting for a while, Xia Zhi got up to cook, ate a simple meal, and then got back to work.

"Hey, does that mean Xia Zhi and Battalion Commander Lu will be staying here with us?"

A group of people curiously peered inside from the doorway, watching Xia Zhi and Lu Beiting bustling about.

"Looking at Battalion Commander Lu's condition, I don't think his injuries are as serious as Hao Liping said."

Look how efficiently they work.

"It doesn't look like it to me either."

A group of people were chattering away, and Hao Liping, who was behind them, turned around and went back to her own home.

These people don't know anything. Even Dr. Shen from the military hospital couldn't do anything about it. How could it not be serious?

Li Baozhu, who was in the shadows preparing to leave, also witnessed this scene.

It seems she needs to speed things up.
