I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Before going to Chunmei's house, Yuan Xiu went to the service center with Jiang Zhou and bought two catties of biscuits and a bottle of wine.

Chunmei's family lives in an apartment building, and this time of day is when everyone is getting off work.

As the two walked along, they attracted the attention of many people.

If you're familiar with someone, you should naturally greet them.

Even those who are unfamiliar with it are quite curious.

When someone greeted him, Jiang Zhou naturally had to give an introduction.

Everyone then realized that these two were the people they had been talking about during their casual conversations at the dinner table these past two days.

However, this afternoon, the focus of attention shifted from the two of them to Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou and Yuan Juan.

"You two are really something, coming all this way, what did you buy?" Sister Chunmei declined a couple of times, then took the things and gave them peanuts and water.

"Old Li went to the canteen. The stove at home is small, so I only steamed some buns. Yuan Xiu is from the south, so she definitely prefers rice. I sent him to get some rice."

Yuan Xiu sat down on the stool. "No need for that. I can manage."

Sister Chunmei, afraid that she would be embarrassed to eat, grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them in her hand, saying, "These were sent by my mother-in-law from our hometown. I roasted them myself. Try them."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Why be so polite with your sister-in-law? To be honest, it's my fault for having bad eyesight. I've seen the photos, but I just couldn't tell that the person was a fake. I let her fool me for so many days."

Yuan Xiu put the peanuts in her hand on the table, picked one up and slowly peeled it, "How can you blame your sister-in-law? It's not like you were the only one who didn't recognize it, no one did."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Jiang Zhou.

"That really is my problem," said Sister Chunmei. "Jiangzhou isn't in the army. Only my husband and I have seen the photos. My husband is so busy every day that we never see him."

Yuan Xiu glanced at Jiang Zhou in surprise. Could it be that yesterday was the first time Jiang Zhou had met Yuan Juan?

Jiang Zhou seemed to know what she was thinking. "I wasn't at the military base for the past few days. We arrived around the same time."

"I see." Yuan Xiu picked up a peanut and put it in her mouth. Yuan Juan pronounced "Jiangzhou" so smoothly that she thought the two of them had already met.

"Have you heard about what happened to Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou's family?"

Chunmei went into the kitchen, turned over the stewed meat in the pot, and then sat on a stool by the kitchen door, chatting with Yuan Xiu and the others while watching the meat in the pot.

"Sister-in-law, are you talking about something related to Yuan Juan?" Yuan Xiu asked.

Chunmei nodded repeatedly. "Old Zheng's wife from the logistics department was on duty at work last night. When she came back this morning, she said that Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou took a girl who was soaking wet to the hospital last night and stayed with her at the hospital all night. He even borrowed clothes from his colleagues on duty for the girl to wear. The girl was crying, and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou comforted her. He was so considerate. When she told me this, I thought that Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou was about to have a good thing happen. Who knew that the girl was Yuan Juan?"

At this point, Sister Chunmei shook her head. "My husband, Lao Li, told me that Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou's mother went to the military leaders to make a scene, preventing her son from marrying Yuan Juan. She even said that she had already arranged a marriage for her son back in their hometown."

Yuan Xiu and Jiang Zhou were unaware of this. Apart from going to the cafeteria for lunch today, the two of them had been tidying up the house and discussing what else they needed to buy for the furniture that would be delivered by the logistics department. In the afternoon, Jiang Zhou even turned over the plot of land in the yard where they were going to plant vegetables twice.

"So what's the situation now?" Yuan Xiu asked.

Chunmei's sister-in-law shrugged. "I don't know either. It depends on who's more capable, the daughter-in-law or the mother-in-law."

Li Shan returned, followed by his son Li Tiejun carrying a net bag full of lunchboxes.

Before he even entered the house, Sister Chunmei rolled her eyes at him, "Aren't you afraid he'll slip and fall!"

"It won't fall."

After entering the house, Li Shan first called out to Jiang Zhou. Upon seeing Yuan Xiu, he smiled and said, "This must be your sister-in-law. Hello, hello! I've heard Jiang mention you before. It's great to finally meet you in person today."

Yuan Xiu blushed when she was addressed as "sister-in-law," and replied, "Hello."

Sister Chunmei smiled and rolled her eyes at him: "How can you be like this? She's still young, don't scare her."

Jiang Zhou: "Call him Xiao Yuan."

Li Shan glanced at him and clicked his tongue. "Alright, I'll listen to you, Xiao Yuan. Sit down and let's talk. Your sister-in-law made sauerkraut and pork stew today. It tastes delicious. You must eat more of it later."

Yuan Xiu smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Li Shan pulled his son over. "This is my son. His full name is Li Tiejun, and his nickname is Xiaojun. You can just call him Xiaojun. Xiaojun, greet him."

Xiao Jun's eyes darted around, and he said, "Hello, sister!"

Li Shan slapped him on the back of the head. "Why are you calling me 'sister'? Call me 'aunt' first."

"She's clearly the older sister."

Sister-in-law Chunmei: "Li Tiejun, are you itching for a beating again?"

When Xiao Jun saw his mother reaching for the broom in the corner again, he quickly called out, "Auntie."

"Good boy." Yuan Xiu couldn't help but reach out and touch the little boy's sticking-up hair.

Being in this atmosphere made her quite happy. In the few days since she returned, this moment truly brought her joy.

When she was young in her previous life, what she longed for most was such a lively family atmosphere, but she never dared to hope for it again.

Xiao Jun blushed when a pretty young lady patted his head and said "good boy."

During the meal, he not only sat next to Yuan Xiu, but also went to the other side to bring over some dishes so that Yuan Xiu could pick them up.

As a result, I received several "good boy/girl" comments.

Chunmei and her husband exchanged a glance and whispered, "Look at your son, he's not even this filial to us."

Jiangzhou just wanted to put glue on this kid's butt to make him behave!

……

After leaving Chunmei's house, Jiangzhou escorted Yuanxiu to the entrance of the guesthouse.

"I probably won't have much time for the next few days. I won't have three days of wedding leave until the marriage application is approved. When the logistics department delivers the furniture, I'll have someone notify you. You can decide how to arrange the house. Once the wedding leave is approved, I'll take you to Chengdu to buy everything we need."

Yuan Xiu readily agreed, "Then I'll go to the service center tomorrow to buy some seeds and plant the vegetables."

Jiang Zhou nodded. "If you need anything, come find me at the camp headquarters."

"it is good."

Yuan Xiu entered the guesthouse. The receptionist had already left work, and a man was on duty.

There was no sound from next door; it seemed the old lady hadn't returned yet.

He is likely still seeking advice from his superiors and fighting against his son.

Yuan Xiu hoped that the old lady would win.

She didn't want to see anyone from the Yuan family.

They'd better never show their faces in front of her again.

If they keep bothering her, she doesn't know what she'll do.
