Chapter 755: Seven hundred fifty-three, new environment

Upon arriving at the Jiangcheng Guard District, Lu Hanmo got out of the car and went to report to the Commander’s office.

Jin Zhihong brought over the keys to Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo’s new home and said to Luo Shu and her companions, "Sister-in-Law, let me take you to your and the Chief’s new home." He used to address Luo Shu as ’Madam,’ but since Luo Shu felt uncomfortable with that, he changed to calling her Sister-in-Law.

"Sure!" Luo Shu nodded in response.

"Sister-in-Law, please follow me," Jin Zhihong hastily led the way.

The Guard’s Members Courtyard was very large. Compared to the Northwest Guard District, the houses here were significantly better. Although most of them were also tube-shaped buildings, here the walls were painted snow-white, and each balcony was tiled, making it look very clean and tidy.

After passing a block of tube-shaped buildings and walking further back, there was another block of individual courtyards. The houses in the Guard’s Members Courtyard were also assigned according to rank; only Guardian Officers of Squadron Leader Level or higher could apply and qualify to live here.

Jin Zhihong led Luo Shu and the others to the front of a courtyard and unlocked the gate with his key, "Sister-in-Law, this is the place."

Luo Shu smiled and nodded her head, then stepped into the courtyard.

The courtyard was very well maintained; aside from a vegetable patch, there were also several potted plants.

"This used to be the home of Squadron Leader Mo and his wife. Because Squadron Leader Mo committed some offenses, he was forcibly discharged from the guards," Jin Zhihong explained. Squadron Leader Mo and his wife were both quite nice people, but they offended someone they should not have.

Luo Shu nodded in understanding and stepped into the house. There wasn’t much furniture inside, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. Besides the bathroom on the outside, the master bedroom also had an ensuite. Whether it was the master or the guest rooms, the space was very spacious.

"This place looks nice, but it still needs some cleaning. Qin Che, let’s go find some rags and a broom," Luo Zheng said to Qin Che. This was his sister’s home, and of course, he wanted to help clean it thoroughly so that she could live comfortably.

"Okie-dokie!" Qin Che replied and began searching the house for rags and a broom with Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng, with a broom and dustpan in hand, came out and said, "Sis, you go and sit outside. It’s too dusty inside for the child. When everything is cleaned up, I’ll call you in."

"Okay!" Luo Shu did not let down Luo Zheng’s kindness and walked outside.

In the yard, there was a bamboo stool left by the previous owner. Weathered by wind and rain, the bamboo stool was already covered with dust and fallen leaves.

Luo Shu walked over, took out a handkerchief to wipe it down, and then sat on the bamboo stool.

She surveyed the courtyard scene. Due to the cold of winter, the vegetable patch was now empty, and although the several potted plants were still stubbornly alive, they didn’t seem like they would last much longer.

"You must be new here?" a sharp voice called out from the entrance.

Luo Shu turned to look and saw a tall and thin middle-aged woman entering. Her facial expression was somewhat arrogant, as if everyone in her eyes was insignificant.

Luo Shu frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you?"

"What’s this ’you, you, you.’ Really impolite, you should call me Sister-in-Law. I am from the next door, Squadron Leader Que’s home. Which unit does your man belong to?" Ma Xiufang inquired. She knew that someone was moving into this courtyard, but as for who it was, she really had no idea.

Jin Zhihong, hearing the noise, came out and said to Ma Xiufang, "Sister-in-Law, the one moving in is Captain Lu."

Hearing Jin Zhihong’s words, Ma Xiufang paused momentarily, her expression immediately changing to one with a beaming smile as she looked at Luo Shu, "I knew there would be some great news today. So it’s Sister-in-Law Lu who has arrived." A captain ranked higher than a squadron leader, and she certainly could not afford to offend him.

Luo Shu barely curved her lips and had no intention of engaging with Ma Xiufang.

Ma Xiufang felt a bit awkward, "Sister-in-Law Lu, you go on with your business then. I’ll come over and chat with you another day." After saying that, Ma Xiufang turned and left the courtyard.

"She is Squadron Leader Que’s wife. She isn’t a bad person, just a bit power-hungry," Jin Zhihong introduced to Luo Shu. He didn’t live here, but as an orderly, he often ran errands to the Guard’s Members Courtyard, so over time he also came to know a few things.

"Hmm!" Luo Shu nodded. She wasn’t interested in these matters. She had always held the attitude that if she could get along with someone she would, and if not, then she would let it go, whether it was when she was in school or in the Southern Sky Guard District.

"Sister, it’s all tidied up now, you can come in," Luo Zheng’s voice came from inside.

Luo Shu stood up and strolled into the room. It wasn’t messy to begin with, and now it looked even tidier. She smiled with satisfaction, looking at Luo Zheng, "You’ve cleaned up quite nicely, very good!"

Luo Zheng smiled sheepishly, "As long as sister likes it." His sister’s satisfaction made him happy.

"Xiao Jin, is there a market nearby?" Luo Shu turned and asked Jin Zhihong. She had a lot of vegetables and rice in her space, but naturally, she couldn’t just pull them out in front of everyone.

"There is one. Do you want to go now, Sister-in-law?" Jin Zhihong asked.

Luo Shu nodded, "We don’t have anything at home, I’d like to buy some things."

"Then I’ll take Sister-in-law there. I can also help carry things for you," Jin Zhihong said.

"Sister, let me and Qin Che accompany you as well, and we can help carry stuff," Luo Zheng said. They needed to buy all sorts of things for the house, and Jin Zhihong alone definitely couldn’t carry everything.

Luo Shu nodded, "Let’s go now then."

Under Jin Zhihong’s guidance, Luo Shu and the others quickly arrived at a small town not far from the Guard District.

Because Jiangcheng was close to Pearl Island City, its economy had developed rapidly. Even a regular small town was quite prosperous and bustling.

"Let’s buy some vegetables and rice first," Luo Shu said.

"Sister-in-law, the vegetable market is over there," Jin Zhihong said while leading Luo Shu and the others towards it.

Although it was nearing midday, the vegetable market was still crowded with people shopping.

"Sister, what do you want to buy? Let us get it for you. It’s too crowded inside, and it wouldn’t be good if someone bumped into you," Luo Zheng said, looking at Luo Shu’s belly.

"It’s fine, don’t worry, let’s go in," Luo Shu smiled unconcernedly and stepped into the market.

The vegetable market had an abundant variety, and Luo Shu quickly selected a large amount. By the time they left the market, the hands of the three Luo Zheng were full.

After purchasing a bag of rice and flour from the grain and flour seller, Luo Shu and the group returned to the Guard District.

The news of Luo Shu’s arrival quickly spread throughout the entire Guard District.

As Luo Shu and the others were returning from the vegetable market, people continuously greeted her along the way.

"Hello, Sister-in-law Lu!"

"Sister-in-law Lu, do you need any help with anything?"

Luo Shu nodded and greeted everyone with a smile. She had spent quite some time in the Northwest Guard District, so she was naturally no stranger to how to interact with the wives of the guards.

Back at home, Luo Zheng and the others continued to tidy up the house while Luo Shu went into the kitchen to start cooking and making dishes.
