Chapter 42

“Shen Battalion Commander is the third child. He has an older sister and brother. And he’s far away in Inner Mongolia. His family doesn’t need him for anything.”

“After you get married, you don’t have to worry about your relationship with your in-laws. Just focus on your own little life.” Sa Ren analyzed.

Although she wasn’t married yet, she understood a lot about getting along with the husband’s family and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after marriage. She had seen so many examples around her.

Su Xiang Wei, “Right. And Shen Battalion Commander’s allowance isn’t low. His family all have jobs too. They don’t need him to support them. As the saying goes, ‘Poverty makes a couple miserable.’ If the couple’s financial situation is good, they’ll have fewer arguments.”

Li Jin Yue, “Besides the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, you don’t have to worry about the relationship between sisters-in-law. Shuoyin, your marriage is really good. Everything is great. It feels like a marriage made in heaven.”

It’s hard to get along with your mother-in-law, and it’s also hard to get along with your sisters-in-law. Her mom used to fight with her aunt all the time when they were younger. Now it’s better.

Lin Shuoyin laughed, “Then we’ll get married and get the marriage license as soon as our marriage report is approved.”

Sa Ren, “Get married. What’s there to hesitate about? What do you think? How do you feel about Shen Battalion Commander?”

“I think he’s great. He takes such good care of me.”

She didn’t know if other people would like a boyfriend like this, but Lin Shuoyin liked it very much. She wished he would take care of her for the rest of her life.

Sa Ren, “Then that’s settled. He likes you, you like him. He’s good-looking, financially secure, and you have feelings for each other. Everything is in place. Just get married.”

Su Xiang Wei, “Shuoyin, have you told your parents about your relationship?”

Li Jin Yue, “Right, right. You have to ask your parents.”

Lin Shuoyin, “I wrote a letter, but I haven’t sent it yet. I’ll go out and send it on our day off the day after tomorrow.”

“Just let them know. We’re planning to take leave in August and go home to see our families.”

The four of them, “No problem. Get married. It’s better to get married sooner than later.”

“By the way, how many children do you want after you get married? Does Shen Battalion Commander prefer boys or girls?” Sa Ren asked with a smile.

Su Xiang Wei, “Shuoyin, I like girls. You should have a baby girl.”

Li Jin Yue, “I like girls too.”

Lin Shuoyin, “It’s not up to you. I’m not even married yet, and you’re already urging me to have children.”

“But we discussed this question. I said having children is a big deal, but we can’t not have them. Otherwise, people will think we’re infertile. So, to prove that we’re fertile, we’ll just have one child, regardless of gender.”

Sa Ren, “What did he say?”

Lin Shuoyin laughed, “He said he’ll listen to me.”

“Oh, Shen Battalion Commander is really great. He’s a good man.”

The three in the dormitory were very satisfied with Shen Guannan, their sister-in-law’s husband.

So far, he was the best man they had ever met.

In contrast to the cheerful atmosphere in Lin Shuoyin’s dormitory, Li Ting and Song Weiwei’s dormitory was gloomy. Li Ting hadn’t been happy for a moment in the past few days.

She finally understood why she had disliked Lin Shuoyin from the beginning. It turned out that she was her rival. Even though they hadn’t been together at first, a woman’s intuition was very accurate.

“Weiwei, how do you forget someone?” Li Ting asked Song Weiwei.

Song Weiwei, “Forget someone? You mean… let’s put it this way, if you’re hurt in a relationship, or if you can’t be with someone for some reason, and you’re very regretful and can’t forget them, the best way is to start a new relationship.”

“You just need to find someone to date, you know?”

Li Ting, “But who should I find? I’ve been in the military camp for over a year. My eyes have been fixed on Shen Guannan. I haven’t really looked at any other men in the military camp.”

Song Weiwei, “Finding a man isn’t difficult. There are so many men in the military camp, you can pick and choose.”

“Just keep your eyes open. Or ask the captain or the troupe leader to introduce you to someone.”

Li Ting, “Okay, I understand.”

After work that night, Shen Guannan came over again.

This time, he brought Lin Shuoyin half a roasted chicken.

Lin Shuoyin was surprised, “Where did you get this?”

Shen Guannan laughed, “My roommate had the day off today. I asked him to bring it for me. Eat it quickly. I had the cafeteria heat it up. It’s still warm.”

“Thank you.” Lin Shuoyin tiptoed up and kissed his cheek.

Shen Guannan was delighted to be kissed by his wife. He said, “Next time you kiss me, let me know first.”

Lin Shuoyin was puzzled, “Why?”

Shen Guannan, “I’ll lower my head.”

“Then lower your head now.” Lin Shuoyin laughed.

Shen Guannan bent over. Lin Shuoyin wrapped her arms around his neck…

“Wife, you… why are you biting me?”

“I’m just biting you.”

“Then bite me again.” His wife’s bite didn’t hurt him. It just made him itch.

Lin Shuoyin patted him lightly, “Go away. I’m going to eat the chicken.”

“Okay, I’ll tear it open for you.”

“By the way, Guannan, do you have any photos?” Lin Shuoyin remembered something important.

Shen Guannan, “I don’t think so. Why?”

Lin Shuoyin, “I want to send your photo to my parents. I wrote them a letter. I’m going to send it the day after tomorrow.”

Shen Guannan laughed, “The son-in-law is going to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law. I’ll go take a photo the day after tomorrow.”

Lin Shuoyin, “Okay. I’ll go take one too. By the way, have you told your parents about us?”

Shen Guannan, “I told them a long time ago.”

“What did your parents say?” Lin Shuoyin was eating a chicken leg. She had a little bit of oil on her lips. Shen Guannan reached out and wiped it off.

“They said to bring you home to meet them.”

Lin Shuoyin, “Okay.”

“Aren’t you going to eat?”

Shen Guannan took a bite of the chicken leg. Lin Shuoyin said,

“I’ve already eaten this.”

Shen Guannan, “I want to eat what you’ve eaten.”

Lin Shuoyin was full after eating one chicken leg. She let Shen Guannan eat the rest of the chicken.

“Wife, see you tomorrow at noon.”

Before leaving, Shen Guannan kissed Lin Shuoyin on the forehead.

“See you tomorrow.”

Lin Shuoyin had been in several relationships, but she felt that this was the right way to be in love.

She was comfortable with Shen Guannan. She was completely relaxed around him. She didn’t have to wear a mask, be careful of her words and actions, or worry about whether her makeup was smudged. It was exhausting.

“Oh, our Shen Battalion Commander is back from his date?”

Shen Guannan’s roommates teased him as soon as he came back.

Shen Guannan smiled, “I’m back.”

“Hehe, it’s dark. Did you hold your girlfriend’s hand, Guannan?” Roommate 2, Zhang Jili, was obsessed with this question.

Shen Guannan, “………I’m not telling you.”

Roommate 1, Gu Xingye, “I said you want to know. Just go find a girlfriend and you’ll know.” He said to Zhang Jili.

“By the way, Guannan, did you hold your girlfriend’s hand?” Okay, he was also obsessed with this question.

Roommate 3, Zhou Ziliang, “Looking at Guannan’s smug expression, I’m guessing he did more than just hold her hand.” He laughed.

Shen Guannan was speechless. These three. He said, “I’m getting married. How much are you going to give as a gift?”

The three of them were shocked, “Getting married? You’re getting married?”
