Li Hongjun drove to his new house, making quite a stir in the area, where many of the future neighbors were from the same military unit and knew each other. The men came out to lend a hand, while the women went to Wu Guoqiang's home to gawk at Li Hongjun's new bride.

"Wow, so this is Deputy Camp Commander Li's young wife, eh? She's really pretty, no wonder Deputy Camp Commander Li is so smitten." A woman in her thirties entered the room with a little girl and began sizing up Shen Yunfang, who was sitting by the kang.
Shen Yunfang also scrutinized the newcomers, and upon hearing the woman's comment, she simply glanced at her, then shyly yet impatiently lowered her head and turned to comfort her son.
