After arriving ho, Liu Chun ca over, busy carrying things here and there. Before he left, Sheng Ning specially took a few peaches and stuffed them into his arms.
"Xiao Ning, I’m going to the infirmary, and then I’ll call people over for dinner." Xu Qigang said, standing at the door.
"Do you want to go with you?" Sheng Ning stuck her head out from the kitchen and asked.
"No need!" Xu Qigang shook his head helplessly, "I’m just going to Guo Siming for a check-up, I’ll be right back."
"Alright!"
Sheng Ning wondered if she was being too clingy. He was much more familiar with the War Wolf Rescue Team than she was, so why would she need to tag along?
"Sis, sis, is this my room?" An’an ca out of the small room, full of excitent.
"Yes! I prepared it for you in advance." Sheng Ning wiped the water off her hands and went to her room with An’an. Inside was a single bed, with brand new quilt and sheets that had the fresh scent of sunlight.
A desk was placed facing the window, and when it was opened, you could hear the chirping of birds outside. In the sumr, it wouldn’t be hot, and you could see the lush green leaves.
An’an was extrely pleased.
"Sis, I really like it here."
"As long as you like it. By the way, I noticed you get along well with Feng Xiaoli and the others at school. I made so extra delicious food today, make sure to take so over for them to try."
"Thanks, sis." An’an rolled up her sleeves and proactively helped Sheng Ning, picking and washing vegetables. Her movents were skillful as she did this every day at ho, and the two sisters working together sped things up quite a bit.
Before long, the neighbors started to arrive.
Several captains’ wives, along with so group leaders’ wives, ca over. There was also an unmarried young girl and so children running around everywhere. Thankfully, Sheng Ning was well-prepared; she had bought fruit candies in advance and handed so out to the children she t.
It was also to make up for the wedding candies not previously given out.
"Sister-in-law is truly generous," said a woman holding a child, sowhat reservedly.
In fact, Sheng Ning didn’t plan to get too close with the families in the compound. It wasn’t out of disdain or a sense of different status but rather because they had different tis and pursuits.
In her past life, she suffered nurous losses.
In this life, she only wanted to be friends with those who shared the sa aspirations. It didn’t matter if the person was rich or poor, beautiful or plain. What mattered were similar goals and personalities.
The atmosphere also had to match.
She simply didn’t want to seem aloof or unsociable. It was enough to maintain the proper distance and boundaries with the neighbors. Helping each other in tis of need, and resolving problems if they ca to her, she’d never refuse.
That was sufficient.
So, as more guests filled the house, Sheng Ning beca more composed. She treated everyone equally, not neglecting anyone for being less articulate, nor giving extra attention to those who were flattering.
Soon enough, others figured out her style, naturally letting go of any reservations, and the atmosphere improved.
What an ease!
Xing Fang watched, and the more she watched, the more she admired her. No wonder she could be the captain’s wife; this steady and calm deanor and thod were sothing she couldn’t learn.

Xu Qigang t Li Duoxi downstairs, directly asking him to help gather people, and then went to the infirmary himself. When he was discharged from the hospital, he had promised to have a check-up every day and would go to the hospital imdiately if there were any issues.
If it were in the past, he wouldn’t have gone to check-ups. But now it’s different; he has a family, more responsibilities, and duties on his shoulders. He can’t afford to be reckless anymore.
