Chapter 759: Seven hundred and fifty-seven, appreciation

Luo Shu was in the yard pruning pot plants when she heard Ma Xiufang’s voice coming from outside, "Sister-in-law Lu, are you at home?"

With a touch of surprise, Luo Shu raised her eyebrows, set down her scissors, and walked up to open the door, "Sister-in-law Que." Hanmo had already told her about the situation with the several families next door.

"Sister-in-law Lu, don’t belittle me like that, I was just joking with you the other day, you can just call me Xiufang from now on," Ma Xiufang said with a chuckle. In the Guard District, the guards’ wives were addressed according to their husbands’ rank, and it had nothing to do with age. Since her husband’s position was one level lower than Luo Shu’s husband, she had to address Luo Shu as sister-in-law.

Luo Shu smiled, "Is there something you need from me?" She didn’t have much fondness for such overly pragmatic people.

"I just went to the vegetable market and saw eggplants on sale, so I bought some extra to bring home. After thinking it over at home, I was afraid the eggplants would spoil if they were left for too long, so I thought of bringing some over to you." While speaking, Ma Xiufang had already handed over a few eggplants. She was afraid that giving too much would make Luo Shu suspect her intentions, so she planned to slowly boil the frog in warm water, occasionally bringing over some vegetables or something. Over time, her relationship with Luo Shu would naturally improve.

"Thank you! My family has already bought vegetables, why don’t you ask if someone else wants them?" Luo Shu said with a light smile as she declined. How could she not understand the other’s intentions.

"Sister-in-law Lu, you’re not just being polite, are you?" Ma Xiufang laughed.

"Of course not, we really did buy our vegetables already. Old Lu and I have a habit of taking walks, and we go to the vegetable market every morning to buy vegetables," Luo Shu said. With one sentence, she dashed the other’s hopes, to prevent her from coming over with vegetables again in the future.

Ma Xiufang managed to pull a smile, "Then I’ll go ask the others." She didn’t expect to be turned down this time when she brought something over.

Watching Ma Xiufang leave, Luo Shu closed the gate and continued pruning her pot plants.

Zhuo Luoluo called Bai Tinggu as soon as she got up, "Uncle! Have you been busy recently?"

"Not busy, what’s up?" Bai Tinggu said with a smile as he flipped through the newspaper in his hand. Reading the newspaper was a daily morning ritual for him; it was where he gathered a lot of useful information.

"Mom and I have been missing you, so we wanted to come over and see you," Zhuo Luoluo said with a bit of a whiny tone.

"That’s just perfect, Xuxu came back yesterday, and she was saying she missed you too," Bai Tinggu replied as he saw Bai Xuxu come out of the kitchen with a pot of tea, "Would you like to speak to Xuxu for a moment?"

"Sure! I miss her too," Zhuo Luoluo replied happily. She was the youngest at home, and Xuxu was the uncle’s eldest daughter; they were roughly the same age. When they were young, Xuxu would often stay at their grandmother’s house, and when Zhuo Luoluo visited, they would play together. They had always been close since their childhood.

"Xuxu, it’s Luoluo on the phone," Bai Tinggu handed the phone over to Bai Xuxu.

Bai Xuxu nodded, took the phone from Bai Tinggu’s hand, "Luoluo, it’s Xuxu."

"Xuxu, I didn’t expect you to be there, that’s really great! I’ve missed you so much after you were away for so long," Zhuo Luoluo said.

"I’ve missed you too, how have you been recently?" Bai Xuxu glanced at Bai Tinggu, hesitant to ask more personal questions.

"Pretty good, in a bit my mom and I will visit you in the Guard District, we can chat more when we meet," Zhuo Luoluo said, seeing her mother ready to go out.

"Great! Then let’s meet and talk," Bai Xuxu hung up the phone.

Walking to the sofa, Bai Xuxu sat down next to Bai Tinggu, "Dad! I heard that the Guard District has transferred a particularly impressive Guardian Officer."

Bai Tinggu took a sip of tea and nodded, "He is indeed impressive! Whether it’s combat and planning in the Guard, or his personal abilities and physical fitness, his overall quality is exceptionally outstanding. He can be said to be the idol in the hearts of the members of the Yan Country Guard Squad, their War God."

"Dad! This is the first time I’ve ever heard you give such high praise to someone," Bai Xuxu expressed her surprise. She had always been very outstanding from childhood, but she always wanted to receive a word of recognition, a word of praise from her father. However, her father’s praise had always been encouraging, rarely directly saying "good."

"That’s because he deserves it," Bai Tinggu said. Lu Hanmo was even more outstanding than he had described.

"Dad, can I meet him? I’m really curious about him," Bai Xuxu looked at Bai Tinggu with anticipation. She really wanted to know what kind of person could earn such high praise from her father.

"That’s possible, but he doesn’t like to interact with women other than his wife," Bai Tinggu reminded her.

"He’s married already? What kind of person is his wife?" Bai Xuxu asked curiously. She really wanted to know what kind of woman could capture the heart of such an outstanding man.

"His wife is also a remarkable woman, with excellent medical skills, clever and quick-witted," Bai Tinggu said. He had only heard some things about Luo Shu, but hadn’t met her, so he couldn’t directly evaluate her.

"I’m quite curious about both of them, Dad! Why don’t we invite them over for dinner? They’ve just arrived at the Guard District, and it would be a way of welcoming them," Bai Xuxu suggested.

After considering for a moment, Bai Tinggu nodded, "All right, let’s make it tonight." He knew Lu Hanmo would definitely agree to the invitation.

"Then do we have food at home, or do we need to go to town to buy some? We also don’t have any wine," Bai Xuxu said. Inviting someone over for a meal was not just a matter of saying it; the food had to be well-prepared.

"You don’t need to worry about that, just leave it to the domestic staff," Bai Tinggu raised his wrist to check the time, put down the newspaper, and stood up, "I’m going to the office now."

"Okay, Dad, bye!" Bai Xuxu watched Bai Tinggu to the door and waved goodbye, watching his retreating figure.

Zhuo Luoluo and her mother quickly arrived at the Guard District.

Seeing Bai Xuxu waiting outside, Zhuo Luoluo hurried towards her and embraced her happily, "Xuxu, I’ve missed you so much!"

"I’ve missed you, too," Bai Xuxu happily examined Zhuo Luoluo, "Luoluo, it’s been so long, and you’ve become even more beautiful." She noticed that Zhuo Luoluo’s skin had improved a lot and the acne on her face had disappeared.

"I used the Water Moisturizer, and before I even finished half of it, my acne was gone, and now my skin is getting better and better," Zhuo Luoluo said. Since she started menstruating at sixteen, she had always been troubled by acne, trying many methods to no avail.

Once, while shopping at the mall with her mother, they saw the Water Moisturizer for sale at a counter and bought a bottle. She had not expected the Water Moisturizer to work so well. Her mother now also uses the Snow Skin Cream produced by Tenglong Group.
