Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Xiao Zhang stopped in front of a courtyard:

"We've arrived, Building 3, Number 12, this is it."

He opened the door and helped carry the luggage inside.

"Look, everything's written on this allocation sheet. Comrade Zhou Yanshen, just sign it. The key has been given to you. If you encounter any problems, feel free to contact me. Commander Li hasn't returned yet. You can catch up after he's finished with his work."

When Zhou Yanshen signed, he glanced at the document and saw that it was indeed his name and address, which made him even more puzzled.

Oh well, what's done is done.

If it's true, he'll feel at ease settling in;

If there's a mistake, then... naturally we won't move out.

He looked around at the house—the front yard was paved with blue bricks, and there was a pomegranate tree in the corner, with the stone table and benches under the tree wiped clean.

The yard isn't big, but it's kept tidy, and there's even a small vegetable garden against the wall.

Pushing open the wooden door, you enter a bright and spacious living room with terrazzo flooring and glass windows that let in sunlight, making the whole room bright and airy.

There are four or five rooms, a spacious kitchen with a separate stove and sink, and an indoor toilet with a clean and tidy white porcelain squat toilet.

It had three bedrooms, two living rooms, and a second floor with a large balcony offering views of the distant hills. In the late 1970s, this was considered top-notch.

Most importantly, there's a large open space behind it! This area is in a corner, so there's a blank road at the end of a path outside the backyard, making it feel much larger than other houses.

"Wanqing will definitely like this wonderful place."

Zhou Yanshen thought to himself, "I can grow vegetables, raise chickens and sheep in the backyard, and there's a large open space behind..."

However, that piece of land seems to be a public area.

He narrowed his eyes, already having made up his mind—even if he made a mistake, he would resolutely not move out.

After explaining everything he needed to, Xiao Zhang took his leave. He had tried to get closer to Zhou Yanshen, but Zhou ignored him completely. After wandering around for a long time, he still couldn't find out what the relationship was between this man and Commander Li, and in the end, he could only leave disappointed.

Zhou Yanshen began a thorough cleaning.

Wipe the areas that need wiping clean, tidy up the room. There are no curtains, so I'll get some cloth and sew them myself later. I'll put the bedding on first.

He noted down every place that needed to be addressed: a bunch of wildflowers could be placed on the coffee table in the living room, the kitchen cabinets needed to be repainted, and a painting should be hung on the bedroom wall—Wanqing liked flowers, so he would go to the wild to pick some, press them into dried flowers, and frame them.

He wanted Wanqing to feel comfortable the moment she walked in.

After the house was almost cleaned up, Zhou Yanshen went to Fengcheng in person without stopping.

He needed to ask Elder Liang first if he could get Wanqing a transfer order. Once Wanqing's status was settled, he could then proceed with the matter of her accompanying the army.

Zhou Yanshen began working day and night, tidying up the new home, running various procedures, and also finding time to report for duty.

He was too busy, and always appeared serious and aloof in front of his new unit, giving people a sense of unapproachability. As a result, everyone was both curious and somewhat intimidated by the new Commander Zhou.

……

In comparison, Su Wanqing's life is quite leisurely.

After Qin Xiao led the criminal gang back to the city, Su Wanqing secretly sent a telegram to Hao Jianguo, informing him of Su Lingshan's location. Su Lingshan had caused her so much trouble; she was lucky she hadn't died this time, but she wouldn't have an easy time from now on.

Two days later, Qin Xiao sent word that Su Lingshan had been sentenced to several years in prison, but had been taken back to her hometown by people from Bincheng to serve her sentence. Su Wanqing guessed that this was most likely Hao Jianguo's doing. Qin Xiao didn't mention anything else, such as the dead wanted criminals or others who were seriously injured, so Su Wanqing guessed that this matter would end there.

She felt that she could finally wait peacefully to return to the city.

As a result, in the middle of the night, she heard a muffled "boom" and could feel the vibration outside.

Looking out the window, I saw flames shooting into the sky.

Uncle Ding immediately put on his clothes, put on his cotton-padded coat, and came to knock on the door: "Wanqing, are you alright?"

Su Wanqing also put on her thermal underwear, sweater, and cotton-padded coat, then put on thermal underwear, wool pants, and cotton pants... She was stunned for a moment, and when she thought of the description of the heroine in the novel in her previous life putting on layers of clothes, she couldn't help but laugh.

I thought it was an exaggerated joke at the time, but when I came here, I found that Xinjiang is really cold, and this is the only way to dress.

No wonder there are no domineering CEOs living in Xinjiang.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Come on, Uncle, let's see what's going on outside?"

Su Wanqing quickly went out with Uncle Ding.

The firelight was coming from the command center and the back hill.

Su Wanqing immediately activated her Eye of Insight, using 200 grams of precious gold energy to scan the area—no one was there, and the piled-up coal was still there, which relieved her. These past few days, she had to replenish her coal and grain supplies every other day in the back mountains; if someone foolish enough to steal them, it would be a real problem.

When the two arrived, the command center warehouse was already surrounded by people.

Secretary Liu was only wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, with thermal underwear underneath, and he hadn't even had time to put on his outer pants before running over.

"What's going on? What's happening in the middle of the night? What's wrong with the warehouse? There's so much stuff in there!"

Liu Shuqing was terrified—the warehouse contained not only grain, but also coal and various other supplies; if it burned, everything would be lost.

At this moment, Grandpa Gu opened his mouth wide, looking at his grandson with a strange expression, and after a long while, he finally said:

"Secretary Liu, the warehouse is fine, everything's alright. It was Chen Laosan who came to steal the grain... Oh, not only did he steal the grain, but he also teamed up with more than a dozen people from another county. This time they even brought an oxcart..."

Grandpa Gu was also the warehouse keeper. Although there were no work points for guarding the warehouse, Liu Shuqing would give the people sent down to the countryside some food in exchange.

Liu Shuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked inside: "The warehouse is fine? Then why was there such a commotion? I think I just saw a flash of light from an explosion... Those people came to steal things, why did they make such a big scene? By the way, where are they?"

Grandpa Gu's expression became even more peculiar: "It wasn't our side; their oxcart just caught fire and was blown up. As for the thieves, they're all inside."

"What? They're all inside? What are we waiting for? Hurry up, everyone follow me in and arrest them! This is outrageous! They dare to steal! I knew Chen Laosan, who's usually so unreliable, would actually dare to..."

It was the middle of the night, and everyone came over because they heard the commotion. Some people were just there to watch the show.

But now, upon hearing that their own farm's warehouse was about to be robbed, which involved their own interests, they rushed in with bloodshot eyes.
