"elder brother!"

When Zhu Jing suddenly learned that Ye Zhengting had come to the art troupe to find her, she thought he was there to invite her to dinner that night to celebrate his and Shen Fenghe's marriage. But when she ran over and saw that he was wearing outdoor training clothes, she was immediately dumbfounded.

"Didn't Lao Yu know you were getting married today? And he still sent you on this mission?"

Ye Zhengting said calmly, "It wasn't his order. I just moved this quarter's field training forward. The thunderstorms might come earlier this year, and there would be safety risks if we went out to train during extreme weather."

"But today is your wedding day!" Zhu Jing frowned.

Ye Zhengting replied in a nonchalant tone, "It's just getting the marriage certificate."

After saying that, he took out a red silk pouch from his pocket and handed it to Zhu Jing, "Please give this to Shen Fenghe when you have time."

"What is it? Why don't you give it to her yourself?" Zhu Jing asked suspiciously, pulling the rope aside and peering inside. Her eyes widened. "Sanjin!"

Gold necklaces, gold earrings, and gold rings are the standard wedding jewelry prepared by the groom for the bride.

Zhu Jing poured them into her palm, grinned, and said, "Brother, although your taste is terrible and the styles are all outdated, they're quite substantial. They must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Ye Zhengting put his hands behind his back and said, "Remember to give it to her, don't take it secretly."

"Tch! What kind of person am I?" Zhu Jing glanced at him, then laughed and teased, "No wonder my dad always says you're the kind of person who gets things done quietly. Look, you've quietly brought back a beautiful sister-in-law and even quietly bought her the three gold pieces."

"My sister-in-law will definitely like it!"

Her smile grew even brighter.

Ye Zhengting thought calmly: Shen Fenghe wants to climb the social ladder, so I'll grant her wish and give her the best I can. As for anything else, I can't give her that.

"Spend more time with her when I'm not around, and take care of her health."

"Body?" Zhu Jing's eyes darted around, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Brother, you didn't get my sister-in-law pregnant so quickly, did you?"

Ye Zhengting was taken aback. He wanted to tell her the truth, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided against it. Only his parents knew about his infertility, and if he told them, it would be bad for Shen Fenghe's reputation.

"I'm leaving."

He reached out and patted Zhu Jing's head before turning and leaving.

"Brothers, please be careful!" Zhu Jing waved repeatedly.

That evening, Zhu Jing brought four aluminum lunchboxes from the cafeteria to the family compound to celebrate Shen Fenghe and Ye Zhengting's wedding.

"Sister-in-law, my brother leads a training camp every year around this time. He's bringing it up earlier this year because he's worried about thunderstorms. Please don't be angry!"

Celebrating their wedding, but the groom was not there, Zhu Jing couldn't help but worry that Shen Fenghe would feel bad.

Shen Fenghe smiled faintly, "I won't be angry. I know your brother is busy with military affairs, and I don't want my presence to have any impact on his work."

"Sister-in-law, you're so considerate! My brother is so lucky!" Zhu Jing gave her a thumbs up.

"Oh right! I almost forgot."

Zhu Jing slapped her forehead, hurriedly pulled the red silk pouch from her pocket, and stuffed it into Shen Fenghe's hand, saying, "These are the three gold pieces my brother bought for you."

"Three golds?" Shen Fenghe lowered her eyes to look at the heavy brocade pouch, her eyes flashing.

Zhu Jing rubbed her nose. "It's a bit ugly. You should be prepared."

"Pfft!" Shen Fenghe was both amused and exasperated. "How ugly can gold jewelry be... uh!"

She spoke too soon; this time, Zhu Jing wasn't exaggerating at all.

"Doesn't it look a lot like what our grandmothers wore?" Zhu Jing asked awkwardly.

"This...heh...hehe..." Shen Fenghe opened her mouth, but didn't know how to evaluate these three gold jewelry pieces that looked quite valuable.

The gold necklace is a thick chain made of pure gold, about the thickness of an adult's little finger. It has no decorations whatsoever. If you put it around a dog's neck, you might mistake it for a dog leash!

The gold ring is also quite thick, like a thimble, but at least the outside of a thimble has some decorative patterns, while this one is smooth and plain. Apart from not being pretty, it looks very valuable.

The only interesting thing about the earrings was the gold ones, with two gold leaves hanging down, which looked like lotus leaves, but they were too big. Shen Fenghe's face was already small, and if she hung two gold leaves on her ears, they would almost look like Pigsy's ears.

Seeing her speechless expression, Zhu Jing awkwardly laughed and said, "Keep it. Consider it as a dowry or bride price for your future children."

"Mm." Shen Fenghe nodded and smiled.

Zhu Jing's words reminded her that if her marriage of convenience with Ye Zhengting could be maintained, the three gold pieces would be left to the child in her womb. If it couldn't be maintained, she would keep them for now and return them to him when she left.

"It must have been my brother who bought it himself, that's why it's so ugly. My brother has never bought anything for girls before. Even the female elders in the family only give him some cloth coupons or something at most," Zhu Jing explained seriously.

"Has he...never been in a relationship before?" Shen Fenghe couldn't help but ask curiously.

She could tell that many female soldiers in the military region liked Ye Zhengting.

Zhu Jing shook her head. "No, not at all! My brother is interested in joining the army."

"My aunt once said that my brother is probably a late bloomer when it comes to love, and once he falls in love, it's very likely that it will last a lifetime."

"Sister-in-law, my brother will definitely love you for the rest of his life!"

She took Shen Fenghe's hand and smiled with utmost sincerity.

Shen Fenghe felt a little guilty and lowered her eyes, not daring to meet her gaze.

Your brother doesn't love me; the person he loves hasn't appeared yet...

It took Shen Fenghe and Zhu Jing two days to clean the new house and buy the necessary items.

During this time, Shen Fenghe met Liu Yufang and Xiao Xiuxiang, who lived on the same floor, as well as Qin Shufen, who lived on the first floor. Qin Shufen's husband was Ye Zhengting's senior brother and was now the commander of the First Regiment. The husbands of the other two were soldiers under Ye Zhengting. They got married early, especially Liu Yufang, whose son was already three years old.

These three military wives were all asked by Ye Zhengting to come and find Shen Fenghe. Since they also knew Zhu Jing, they quickly became familiar with Shen Fenghe and would often ask her out to chat.

During this time, Liu Xiao's husband went on a field training trip with Ye Zhengting, so they simply invited Shen Fenghe to join them for meals.

"Xiang-mei, are you reporting to the health center tomorrow or the day after?"

During dinner tonight, Liu Yufang suddenly brought up this matter.

"The clinic? Xiangmeizi isn't working at the kindergarten anymore?" Shen Fenghe looked at Xiao Xiuxiang.

The military region has provided some logistics positions for military spouses. As long as the spouses are willing and capable, they can apply to higher authorities or be recommended by their superiors.

Liu Yufang and Xiao Xiuxiang work as kindergarten teachers in the family compound, while Qin Shufen works at the canteen window.

Shen Fenghe had inquired indirectly about whether there were any vacant positions in the family compound, but there weren't any at the moment, so she didn't mention that she wanted to work.

"Sister Lin from the clinic is going back to her hometown because her mother is sick. She probably won't be back at the military region for a while, so we'll be short a nurse. I'll have to fill in for her. What can I do? I used to be a nurse," Xiao Xiuxiang said with a bit of helplessness.

Liu Yufang glanced at her and teased, "You've only ever helped change IV drips at your village clinic, you've never even given a needle. What kind of nurse are you?"

"At least I know how to get medicine, and I know how to fill out all sorts of forms," ​​Xiao Xiuxiang pouted, then frowned. "I still prefer staying in kindergarten and interacting with the little kids."

"If I can get medicine and help doctors write prescriptions, can I work at the health center?" Shen Fenghe couldn't hide her eagerness.

Xiao Xiuxiang nodded, "The clinic in our family compound only treats minor illnesses, like fevers and colds. The requirements for doctors and nurses are not high. They just prescribe medicine and such. If someone gets a serious illness, they are sent directly to the military hospital in the city."

"I...I understand traditional Chinese medicine," Shen Fenghe said, mustering her courage.

"I come from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners!"
