"Lu Hanmo, next time you buy this kind of liquor, don’t forget to bring a few bottles for me," Mo Shaoze spoke up. There was naturally no need for courtesy between him and Lu Hanmo.

"No problem!" Lu Hanmo promised.

"Brother-in-law, can you also bring me a few bottles?" Luo Zheng said somewhat sheepishly. This liquor should be good for his cultivation, so he naturally didn’t want to miss out.

"Mm!" Lu Hanmo responded.

"Luo Shu, this is orange juice, right?" After taking a sip from the juice bottle in her hand, Shen Anning immediately knew what fruit it was made from, but she didn’t know how Luo Shu managed to squeeze out this orange juice.

Luo Shu nodded, "Yes, it’s orange juice. There’s more in the kitchen, drink more if you like it."

"How did you make this orange juice?" Shen Anning asked.

Luo Shu thought for a moment and said, "Last time Hanmo and I went abroad, we saw a juicer for sale and bought one. This juice was made with a juicer." Juicers were already available abroad, and last time she went to Langxi Country, she had fresh orange juice. That’s why she remembered the juicer she had.

Indeed, the juicer was also something she bought abroad, just that it was in her past life.

"So that’s how it was," Shen Anning nodded in understanding. She knew about Luo Shu’s trip to Langxi Country with Lu Hanmo; they probably bought it there.

"If you like it, I can have my friend abroad send a juicer over for you," Luo Shu proposed. This wasn’t a difficult task for her; she only needed to send a message to Xinge later.

Shen Anning’s eyes lit up, revealing a trace of astonishment, "Really, they can send it over?"

Seeing Luo Shu nod, she joyfully said, "Then I want one, how much is it?"

"We can talk about the money later," Luo Shu replied with a smile, taking a sip of the juice herself.

"Luo Shu, mom also wants one," Zhu Huizhen chimed in. Naturally, there was no need for politeness between her and Luo Shu.

Luo Shu smiled and nodded, "When the time comes, I’ll have my friend send a few more over."

Everyone continued eating until past two in the afternoon before concluding the lunch.

Lu Hanmo quickly cleaned up the dishes and was about to take them to the kitchen to wash.

"Hanmo, let mom wash the dishes," Zhu Huizhen said as she had already picked up the bowls in front of Lu Hanmo and walked into the kitchen.

Luo Shu followed into the kitchen, helping Zhu Huizhen as an assistant. Even though the latter was her mother-in-law, she still didn’t feel right leaving the dishwashing entirely to her.

"Luo Shu, when do you plan to move back in?" Zhu Huizhen asked. Luo Shu’s belly was growing larger, and although Hanmo took good care of her, he couldn’t always be by her side. What if Luo Shu went into labor and Hanmo wasn’t around? That was her biggest worry.

"I’m thinking after eight months," Luo Shu replied. She and Hanmo had already discussed it; once the baby in her belly reached eight months, she would move back to the Lu family. As for Hanmo, he would have to work a bit harder.

"That’s good. When you come home, mom will be more at ease," Zhu Huizhen said with a relieved smile. With Luo Shu nearby, she wouldn’t have to worry, and she could also be the first to see the child Luo Shu would give birth to.

People lounged in the living room, watching TV and chatting until four in the afternoon before heading to the Guard District.

Upon arriving at the Guard District, they saw Guard Members chatting in small groups. With no training today, they were indeed a bit unaccustomed to the free time.

"Good to see you, Captain Lu!"

"Good to see you, Captain Lu!" The soldiers greeted Lu Hanmo one after another as they saw him and his group approaching. Lu Hanmo was someone they admired, and just seeing him filled them with a sense of respect.

Lu Hanmo also nodded slightly, greeting everyone with a nod.

All the way to the cafeteria, they saw children playing and frolicking in the hall, with Guard’s Wives chatting in small groups as well.

Although they lived in the Guard District, the Guard District area was not something they could visit freely, except for important matters. Today was a rare opportunity for them to visit the Guard District, so they naturally arrived early.

In the cafeteria, soldiers from the cooking squad were already busy preparing. Tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner was their responsibility to prepare.

For this New Year’s Eve dinner, they had gone to great lengths, cleaning out a room next to the cafeteria that was used to store miscellaneous items and setting up tables and chairs. How else could they accommodate so many soldiers, plus Guard’s Wives, children, and a hundred students from the Guard School?

Lu Hanmo led Luo Shu and the others to their usual spot and sat down. The New Year’s Eve dinner would start at five o’clock, and it was already four-thirty now.

"Really, celebrating the New Year here in the Guard District is quite lively," Zhu Huizhen laughed as she took in the surroundings. This was her first New Year in the Guard District.

"It’s not this lively in other Guard Districts," Shen Anning added. As a nurse at the Guard District Hospital, she had also spent New Year’s there, but besides watching the performance team, there were no other programs.

"At most, the soldiers gather together, sing the Guard’s anthem, and watch the performance team’s show," Mo Shaoze nodded in agreement.

As time passed, the cafeteria became more and more crowded, and the whole place was buzzing.

Close to five o’clock, Bai Tinggu and his wife walked in, and upon seeing Lu Hanmo and the others, they made their way over.

"Commander! Commander’s wife!" Lu Hanmo stood up to greet Bai Tinggu and his wife.

Bai Tinggu nodded with a smile, turning to Lu Zhengyang and Zhu Huizhen, "And they are?" He had heard that Lu Hanmo’s parents had arrived, and he was already well aware of Lu Zhengyang’s reputation, though Lu Zhengyang’s political career meant they weren’t from the same system.

"These are my parents, and my friends Mo Shaoze, Shen Anning, my wife’s brother Luo Zheng. Dad, Mom, this is Chief Bai and his wife," Lu Hanmo introduced both sides.

"Chairman Lu! It’s really you! It’s a great honor to meet you," Bai Tinggu immediately reached out warmly to shake hands with Lu Zhengyang.

"Nice to meet you, Chief Bai! We’re intruding by coming here this time," Lu Zhengyang said with a smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they sat down at the table. With Bai Tinggu and his wife, the table was now full.

At five o’clock, about a dozen soldiers dressed in Guard uniforms and wearing aprons came out of the kitchen with trays.

The first to be served were eight cold dishes: white-cut chicken, jellyfish in sauce, osmanthus and winter dates, five-spice beef... The meat and vegetable dishes were well arranged, and their vibrant colors were appetizing. Since Jiangcheng is in the South, most of the dishes were Southern cuisine.
