After driving for more than an hour, I finally arrived at the troop station.
Su Yue has been carefully observing this journey. She found that Han Aiguo's army station is really remote. There is only a small road leading to Wenxiang where he just got off the bus, and there is only a small village in the middle. After arriving at the destination, Su Yue looked around and saw that apart from the landscape, there was not a single village in sight, which seemed a bit isolated from the world.
Su Yue couldn't help worrying about her future life secretly. It seemed that it would be inconvenient to go out and buy something in the future.
As if knowing Su Yue's worries, Zhu Zi took the initiative to say to Su Yue, "Sister-in-law, we are a little out of place here, but for the convenience of family members, our army has specially arranged a shuttle bus that runs from the army to the commune twice a day. , one trip in the morning and one trip in the evening, so that it is convenient for family members to go out to buy things, and some sisters-in-law work in the commune, and they go back and forth with the bus every day."
Su Yue's eyes lit up when she heard it. There is a shuttle bus, which is very good. At least she doesn't need to walk if she wants to go out and buy something.
The pillars drive the car directly to the family building of the army. The family building is a small building with five floors. The surface of the building is plastered with cement. Although there is nothing beautiful at all, it is very good in this era; There are two households in the building, the doors are unified red wooden doors, and the households are separated by stairs.
There is also a small yard made of cement on the bottom floor. There are many ropes tied in the yard, and a lot of quilts and clothes are dried on it. It seems that the residents in the building can dry their clothes and quilts in the yard downstairs.
Judging from the number of clothes and quilts drying, it seems that a lot of people live here.
Zhu Zi helped Han Aiguo carry the luggage upstairs, went up to the third floor, took them to the door on the left, took out a door key from his pocket and handed it to Han Aiguo, "Batch commander, this is the distribution for you. The house, this is the key, the head of the regiment told you to clean up the house and then go back to work."
Han Aiguo nodded, "It's hard work."
Zhuzi scratched his head, "battalion commander, if you need to go to town to buy things and move things, don't be polite to the brothers. The brothers are all here to help you. You know ours, if you don't have anything else, you are just powerful."
Han Aiguo smiled and patted his shoulder, "I won't be polite to you."
Using the key to open the door, Su Yue took a look at the situation in the room. The simple layout of two bedrooms and one living room, the walls were painted with white ash, and it looked very bright, but there was nothing in the room, even a person sitting. There is no bench either.
Su Yue originally planned to invite Zhuzi in for a rest, but now she can only say to Zhuzi apologetically: "Zhuzi, I haven't bought anything at home yet, and I don't even have a hot water, so I won't invite you in for a drink. We'll invite you to come and warm the house after we've cleaned up the house."
The custom here is to live in a new house to warm the house, that is, to invite people you know to come to the house for a lively meal, which is considered a celebration.
Zhuzi grinned honestly, and was not polite, "Okay, sister-in-law, let's have a good time and lively. If you have anything to help in the future, just call us."
Su Yue couldn't help but sigh, the soldiers of the army are really simple, and such people deserve to be the cutest people. It is really comfortable to get along with such people, no wonder Han Aiguo loves the army so much.
Zhuzi has to go back and report the situation to the head of the regiment. Seeing that there is nothing here, he will leave first.
Han Aiguo looked at the bare house, there was not even a place to sit and rest, let alone drink water, and there was nothing to do in the house, so he said: "I'll borrow a car from the logistics, let's go to town now. Go buy some things at home, and you can cook dinner at night."
Su Yue couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Where can we buy the furniture? We need to buy beds, wardrobes, tables, etc. Can we buy them?" It's not something you can buy if you want to.
Han Aiguo: "Remember the small village we saw on the way here?"
Su Yue nodded, "Remember, I just passed that village this way, what's wrong?"
"That is Xiaowang Village. There is an old carpenter in the village who is very good at craftsmanship. Most of the people who moved the troops here are looking for him to fight furniture."
Su Yue was pleasantly surprised, "Then let's go and ask him to make furniture for our house?"
Han Aiguo smiled, "I sent a telegram back to the army a few years ago, and asked Zhuzi to go to Xiaowang Village to find an old carpenter. Now it is estimated that it is ready, and we are waiting for us to pull it back."
Su Yue stayed for a moment, then jumped on top of him the next second, hugged his neck and gave him a big kiss, "Comrade Han Aiguo, why are you so amazing! Be prepared for a rainy day!"
Han Aiguo hurriedly looked outside Dachang's door, but luckily there was no one outside, otherwise he would be laughed at. Only then did she hold her buttocks and pat her on the buttocks lightly, "The door is still open, it's not good to be seen."
Su Yue sneered, took a bite according to his nose, and deliberately asked, "Is it possible that the door is not closed?"
Han Aiguo pursed his lips and gave her two kisses, "You can ride on my neck with the door open."
Su Yue couldn't help but let out a muffled sound.
After the two laughed and laughed, they went to the logistics department to borrow a car. The logistics department knew that Han Aiguo wanted to borrow a car to pull furniture, and very readily gave him a large truck that usually transports supplies.
Su Yue was taken aback when she saw the truck, thinking who could drive away, but she didn't expect Han Aiguo to drive a truck.
Su Yue was surprised again, "Comrade Han Aiguo, you can still drive a truck?"
"I have been in the army for so many years, and I have learned all kinds of vehicles. When I first joined the army, I worked in the logistics department. At that time, I learned to drive a truck to pull supplies."
"Then you can also drive a normal car?"
Han Aiguo nodded, "The principle is the same."
Su Yue: "Then what other car do you drive?"
Han Aiguo thought about it and asked, "Does the tank count?"
Su Yue couldn't help but stare at her, "Comrade Han Aiguo, I didn't expect you to be so talented, please accept my knee."
Han Aiguo laughed and patted her head, "I don't understand something again."
Su Yue laughed.
After driving for two hours, I arrived at the Wenxiang Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Su Yue had saved a lot of tickets before. Before she left, Mrs. Han gave them all the tickets she had saved and put them in Su Yue. Monthly 1,000 yuan, saying that they have to buy everything when they come here. They are afraid that they will be short of money. Even if Su Yue said that she has no shortage of money, the old lady still insists on giving it.
So this time, Su Yue didn't save it, and bought everything that was lacking at home, from firewood, rice, oil and salt to daily necessities, and bought almost all the supply and marketing cooperatives. They also spent a lot of money to buy a stove for burning fire. There are no earthen stoves in rural areas, and the stoves are used to cook rice and water.
On the way back, I happened to pass Xiaowang Village. Han Aiguo drove the car to the door of the old carpenter's house. The children in the village saw such a big car, which was not a big green truck, and suddenly rushed up curiously and turned around the car Going back and forth, touching from time to time.
Han Aiguo didn't care, he went to play with the children, and took Su Yue into the yard. He saw that the huge yard was full of wood and furniture that had already been laid, and there was only a path in the middle that was big enough for one person to pass through. .
Han Aiguo called out to the house, "Is Carpenter Wang there?"
"Hey, here!" The person in the room responded, and a man in his fifties came out of the room with a plane in his hand, apparently just doing carpentry work in the room.
"Are you here to fight furniture?"
Han Aiguo: "My name is Han Aiguo. A few years ago, I asked someone to make a batch of furniture for you. I don't know if it's ready? I'll take it back now."
Carpenter Wang suddenly said: "Remember, you are in the army, right? A little soldier came to me and ordered a batch of furniture. I have already done it, you can just take it away."
Saying that, Carpenter Wang pointed to the furniture in the left row of the yard, "This row is yours."
Su Yue's eyes swept across the furniture, there were quite a few.
The old carpenter said, "Look at the number. There are two beds, two bedside tables, one dining table, eight chairs, one writing desk, two wardrobes, one cabinet, and one large bathtub."
Han Aiguo nodded, "Yes. Thank you, Carpenter Wang, how much?"
Carpenter Wang told Han Aiguo how much each piece of furniture cost, and the two of them went to count the money.
However, Su Yue looked at the other furniture in the yard, and then she found that the furniture of this era were all the same, just a few, and they were all of the same style, nothing special. At least the homes she wanted were not here.
After all, the family building of the army was her and Han Aiguo's first home, and it belonged to the two of them alone, so she wanted to decorate the home well and make it beautiful and warm. She actually wanted to arrange it according to the modern 21st century style. First of all, the living room should not only have a few chairs, but at least a set of sofas and a coffee table.
I don't know if a carpenter can do it.
Su Yue asked the old carpenter, "Master, can you make a sofa here?"
When Carpenter Wang heard this, she was surprised that she wanted to hit the sofa. That thing is only used by rich people in the city. Most people wouldn't use it at all, because it was a waste of money. Most people only put a few chairs in the living room, with a small table in the middle of the chairs.
He has been a carpenter for so many years here, and no one has ever asked him to make a sofa.
But he hasn't played, so it doesn't mean he hasn't seen it. After all, a carpenter has to keep up with the times. He has seen the sofa in other places.
Carpenter Wang said: "I have seen sofas in the city, that is, a set of wooden benches, one long side with two short ones on both sides, with cotton cushions on top, it is not difficult to beat. You can still beat it, but it will be very expensive to make this expensive wood, do you really want to beat it?"
Su Yue guessed that the sofa in the old carpenter's mouth was the kind of Chinese-style armchair sofa. Although it is different from the modern sponge sofa, it is also very good that the armchair sofa can be produced in this era. It is estimated that it will appear in a few years. Sponge sofa.
Su Yue said: "That's great, if you can call Master Wang, then please give us a set of sofas and a coffee table cabinet."
Carpenter Wang was interested. He had never played the sofa before, but if he played it this time, he would swing it there and be seen by others, maybe other people would be interested too. Isn't this another innovative piece of furniture
So he said, "Since you want it, then I will move the rest of the work to the back, hit you first, and you will come and get it in five days."
"Then thank you, Master Wang."
——
After driving back to the family building with the furniture, Han Aiguo called a few soldiers to come and help, and everyone carried the furniture into the house together.
Probably because there was too much movement, the door next door suddenly opened. One looked twenty-six or seven years old, with permed hair, wearing a coat, a pair of high-heeled leather shoes, and a red scarf around his neck. Very fashionable women came out of the room and looked at them curiously.
Su Yue guessed that this was the hostess next door, and with the idea that everyone will be neighbors in the future and have a good relationship, she took the initiative to greet her with a smile, "Hello, sister-in-law, we just moved in today, my name is Su Yue. ."
The woman looked at Su Yue, looked at her calmly for two times, and saw that the clothes she was wearing were all new, and the styles were quite fashionable. They looked different from those ignorant women from the countryside. , Then he smiled and said, "Hello Comrade Su Yue, my name is Fang Xiaoli. I don't know who your lover is?"
Su Yue replied with a smile: "My lover is Han Aiguo."
Fang Xiaoli thought about it in her mind, as if she had vaguely heard her man mention that last year he had a battalion commander named Han He who went back to his hometown because of his injured leg.
Could it be that what his man was talking about was this Han Aiguo
But doesn't it mean that the legs are broken? And didn't that Han Aiguo say he was from the countryside? Why doesn't his daughter-in-law look like he's from the countryside
Fang Xiaoli smiled and asked, "I seem to have heard my lover say it, so I take the liberty to ask, is your lover the Han Aiguo who injured his leg earlier?"
Su Yue nodded, "But now his legs are healed."
It turned out to be really that Han Aiguo.
Fang Xiaoli asked calmly again, "Sister, I think you are so beautiful. It's a blessing for your battalion commander Han to marry you. How did you and your lover know each other?"
Su Yue didn't care and said, "We belong to a village."
Fang Xiaoli pouted secretly, it turns out that this Su Yue is also from the countryside, but she looks a little more beautiful, she thought she was from the city.
"That's really good." Fang Xiaoli nodded, and suddenly she had nothing to do with the other party, so she made an excuse, "I still want to make dinner, I'll go back first, you guys are busy."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the house, and closed the door with a "smack" in front of Su Yue.
Su Yue frowned slightly, always feeling that this sister-in-law suddenly became cold, I don't know if it was her illusion.
But when they met for the first time, there should be no grievances, and she had no reason to be indifferent to herself. It is estimated that this sister-in-law has such a personality.
Su Yue didn't think much, turned around and went into the house to continue working.
The little soldiers moved quickly, and soon they moved the furniture into the house, and placed it in the designated position as required, Su Yue didn't even have a chance to stretch out a hand.
As soon as they finished their work, the little soldiers were ready to leave. Seeing this, Su Yue quickly took out the candy she brought from the luggage she brought, and each of them gave them a share, "Thank you, everyone has worked hard, and there is no home for the time being. Other food, just this little candy, don't dislike it."
Some of the little warriors were only in their teens, and their faces were still immature. They were all red when they were given candy by Su Yue. They quickly waved their hands and said, "You're welcome, sister-in-law, we don't want this candy, you can keep it for yourself."
Candy is such a good thing these days that you can't bear to take it out easily. Some people only take it out for a wedding or when an important guest comes to the house, but the sister-in-law gave them so much that the little soldiers were embarrassed to ask for it.
Su Yue forced it on them, "You take it, you're welcome, there are still some at home. Our house hasn't opened fire yet, and when the arrangements are in place, we'll call you to come and eat at the house."
Han Aiguo also said, "Don't be polite to your sister-in-law, just take it and eat it."
Only then did the little soldiers accept it. They felt that the sister-in-law of the elder Han Ying was really nice, not to mention being kind and generous. Before, they also helped other people who moved in to move things, and at most they went into the house to drink saliva after they were busy, and some people didn't even have saliva. No one was willing to entertain them with anything.
Although they didn't help out to picture other people's things, the feeling of being sincerely thanked by others made me feel very comfortable.
The little soldiers left happily with the candy, Su Yue and Han Aiguo packed the luggage together and put the things in the right place, Su Yue asked Han Aiguo while busy, "Who is the person next door to us? Ah? I just talked to the sister-in-law next door, and the sister-in-law didn't say who her man was."
Han Aiguo knew that and replied, "Next door is Feng Junwei's house, which happens to be the company commander I belong to. When we're ready, we can visit and say hello. We'll be neighbors in the future."
I didn't expect that it was Han Aiguo's direct boss. It seemed that he wanted to build a good relationship.
Su Yue nodded, "I will make some snacks when I have time tomorrow, and bring them to say hello." Although I felt that the sister-in-law just now was not very enthusiastic, maybe her personality is like that. In the future, if you don’t look up and see you down, the relationship should always be good. The first time you move in, it’s always better to say hello and recognize the person first.
By the time everything was packed, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. After a busy day, both of them were tired. Su Yue simply made some fried noodles with flour, and the two ate the first meal at the table. The meal, although simple, felt unusually warm.
This is their little home.
Han Aiguo said while eating noodles fragrantly: "Tomorrow, I will return to the army and reinstate. You are the only one at home. If you feel bored, you can go downstairs and chat with other sisters-in-law. There are people living upstairs and downstairs in our house. ."
Su Yue imagined a group of women sitting together, making up sweaters and insoles to mend their clothes and gossiping at home, thinking that it was not suitable for her. She has grown up so much that she hasn't participated in such a women's team activity yet, so she smiled and said, "When I get to know other sisters-in-law and have a chat, I'll invite them to come to the house to chat. These few days at home There is still busy work, I have to clean up the house, pickle some side dishes and bacon, and make some snacks to eat, aren’t we going to entertain your comrades in a few days, there must be something to entertain others.”
Han Aiguo nodded, "It's fine if you don't feel bored. If you want to buy something, you can buy it with the shuttle bus to the commune in the morning. The shuttle bus is at the gate of our family courtyard and leaves on time every morning at six o'clock."
Su Yue thought about it and said, "Aren't we going to go to the old carpenter's place to pull the sofa in a few days, and then we will go to the supply and marketing agency to buy some missing items, and then buy some meat back. It happened that day when we invited your comrades to come over to make fun. lively."
Han Aiguo: "Okay, then I will think about the people I want to invite these few days and tell them."
