Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 844 A Selfish and Greedy Country Wife Accompanying the Army (8)

Last night it was dark, and no one could see clearly, but they knew that Battalion Commander Cheng's wife was a woman who was dressed very plainly, dark-skinned and stout.

Many people felt sorry for Battalion Commander Cheng.

Such a handsome and outstanding man, yet he ended up with a country wife.

Many educated girls in the military region admired him, but who would have thought that he would lose to someone who was unremarkable in every way.

Mu Zhou was eating when she listened for a while before she realized that everyone was talking about her.

She looked down at herself in confusion.

Although he's not exactly skinny, he's certainly not overweight either...

She is a bit dark-skinned, but her body is fair, and her face can be restored with time.

The reason her face turns red so easily is because her skin is particularly fair, so when she's out in the sun in the summer, it always turns red very easily.

Mu Zhou took another big bite of food when he heard someone call his name.

When she looked up, Zhao Lifang had already sat down in front of her with a meal in her hand.

Zhao Lifang has a loud voice, and after only a few words, everyone instantly realized that this young girl was Cheng Lifeng's wife.

In an instant, many eyes turned to look.

Some people had an "I knew it" look on their faces.

Mu Zhou was wearing a cotton-padded jacket that she had made herself, made of bright red fabric and decorated with flowers.

This was the most presentable outfit she had ever worn.

This cotton-padded coat has only been worn a few times and doesn't even have any patches.

The rest were all hand-me-downs from other people, and they had been patched countless times.

Unfortunately, while this cotton-padded jacket might be considered a decent garment in the countryside, it would be absolutely unwearable in the city.

The world has changed dramatically. Influenced by new ideas, city dwellers dress very fashionably.

Even in winter, they are all beautiful sights.

As a result, Mu Zhou's attire looked somewhat out of place.

However, some people find it strange.

I don't think she's as bad as the rumors say.

Her eyes were bright and sparkling, her cheeks were slightly chubby, and her lips curled up, making her look very endearing.

At least in terms of looks, he and Battalion Commander Cheng are a good match.

Mu Zhou ignored all the stares and quietly ate his meal.

Zhao Lifang was very enthusiastic. Knowing that she had just arrived, she invited her to go to the supply and marketing cooperative the next day to buy some daily necessities.

Mu Zhou had the same idea, so he didn't refuse.

Cheng Lifeng headed straight for the cafeteria, and Liang Nantian almost couldn't catch up with him.

"I was wondering why you disappeared as soon as it ended these past two days. Why were you running off so fast?"

"busy."

Cheng Lifeng gave him a perfunctory reply with a single word.

Liang Nantian was naturally unwilling to be dismissed so easily.

Seeing that he was going to get his food to take away, I was about to ask him why when I suddenly remembered that little girl.

By the way, Cheng Lifeng is a married man.

He couldn't help but ask:

"You and your wife, didn't you never even meet before?"

Are they really that close?

They even come to get food every day.

Why not just let her come out to eat by herself?

The cafeteria stewed chicken today, and Cheng Lifeng took an extra portion, glancing at Liang Nantian as he did so:

"You do not understand."

"..."

The nonchalant tone of her voice choked Liang Nantian.

Cheng Lifeng's eyes made it seem as if he were so pitiful.

What's there to not understand? It's just that you have a wife.

He's only had a wife for a few days, and he's only been single for a few days. What insights could he possibly have?

Liang Nantian had a liver ache, so he ordered an extra portion of stewed chicken.

*

Cheng Lifeng carried the boxed lunch and walked very fast, arriving at the guesthouse in no time.

It was freezing cold outside, but the food in the lunchbox was still warm.

Upon hearing the knock, Mu Zhou quickly ran over, opened the door, and welcomed the person in.

"I'm home."

With her back to the light, a shadow was cast on her face, yet the shadow was tinged with light.

This made her bright eyes shine even brighter.

For a fleeting moment, Cheng Lifeng felt that this small guesthouse room actually gave him a sense of "home".

He stood there, frozen in place.

Meeting Mu Zhou's questioning gaze, Cheng Lifeng hurriedly looked away and laid out the boxed lunches.

Stewed chicken was Mu Zhou's favorite, and she ate her fill.

Cheng Lifeng looked at her.

It hadn't been many days, but he seemed to have gotten used to slowing down his eating speed when he ate with Mu Zhou.

For him, eating was no longer just a means of surviving.

It has become a part of life.

Even watching Mu Zhou enjoy his meals so much always touched him inexplicably.

Mu Zhou looked up, and Mu Zhou immediately lowered his eyes and silently ate a mouthful of rice.

Mu Zhou said:

"I ordered a new outfit and a cotton-padded jacket from a tailor before, and I picked them up today. It cost me a little over twenty yuan in total."

Cheng Lifeng raised his head:

Why not just buy it directly?

"If you buy it directly, a cotton-padded coat costs more than thirty yuan."

Even though he had given her all the money, Mu Zhou wished he could take home all the nice clothes in the store.

But it's just a thought.

She's just arrived, so she needs to maintain her persona for a while.

Frugality and thrift are admirable virtues in any era.

Cheng Lifeng was silent for a few seconds before speaking:

"I still have a lot of money, so you don't need to be frugal."

He received a lot of subsidies, and since he had nowhere to spend them before, he saved up a great deal.

Mu Zhou glanced at him and said contentedly:

"It's okay. I'm eating and staying at your place for free now, so I can't just waste money."

Cheng Lifeng didn't say anything more, but he had already made up his mind to take her to the department store in the city when he had time off.

Two weeks later, the house was finally completed.

Currently, in addition to the small courtyards, there are also tenement buildings in the compound.

Seeing Mu Zhou looking towards the building, Cheng Lifeng said:

"There are no more slots available for apartment buildings this year; only courtyard houses are eligible for application."

Mu Zhou hurriedly said:

"I like the yard."

Modern tenement buildings are small, and many kitchens are shared, so it's better to live in a small courtyard.

At least it's a separate house.

Mu Zhou's appearance in the family area naturally attracted a lot of onlookers.

Everyone greeted him warmly, and Cheng Lifeng introduced himself frankly:

"This is my wife, Mu Zhou."

Mu Zhou called out "Big Sister", "Auntie" and "Sister-in-law" all the way over.

She was the youngest in the family compound.

The house has been renovated, and even the walls have been repainted.

The cabinets in the room were also newly made after Cheng Lifeng consulted with Mu Zhou.

This small courtyard is neither too big nor too small, with three rooms and a kitchen, and a toilet located diagonally at the back of the courtyard.

It has everything you could need.

The two of them didn't have much stuff, and they moved everything in one morning.

Cheng Lifeng worked very efficiently, and even Mu Zhou, who was used to farm work, couldn't keep up with his speed.

In the end, she broke out in a lot of sweat.

She felt a bit hot, so she went inside to change into a thinner cotton-padded jacket.

Mu Zhou's belongings were in another room; she and Cheng Lifeng were staying separately.

After entering the bedroom, Mu Zhou casually closed the door behind him, found the clothes he needed to change into, and took off his thick cotton-padded coat.

She was wearing a black sweater underneath.

The sweater was given to me by my neighbor, who couldn't fit into it anymore.

Actually, it was a bit tight on her; the sweater clung to her body.

But Mu Zhou couldn't bear to throw away the new sweater, so he kept wearing it.

Just as she was about to pick up her short coat, she heard the creaking sound of the door opening behind her.

She turned her head and met Cheng Lifeng's gaze.
