Chapter 406: Taking Over the House

At dinner time.

Lin Zihuai slapped the marriage report on the table. The red seal was brighter than the blush on Du Juan's cheeks.

"The instructor said we are the first couple this year and hopes we can work together to become a 'model couple of military personnel'!"

"Good!" Chu Mingyu was particularly supportive and was the first to applaud.

"Congratulations, Brother Zihuai and Sister Dujuan." Chu Minglan also immediately changed her tone.

Chu Mingzhou picked up a piece of tender lamb for Lin Anan and asked, "When do you plan to hold the banquet?"

Lin Zihuai scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "We plan to schedule it in May or June. By then my sister will be out of confinement, and my parents will also come over."

Lin Anan paused holding the chopsticks, "Is Dad coming over too?"

"It's not decided yet! I called the team again today, and Dad said he would try to come with Mom. He needs to see his darling grandson."

As he was talking, Lin Zihuai was afraid that Du Juan would misunderstand, so he quickly added: "It's mainly because we are getting married, and they are coming to see their good grandson."

Du Juan glanced at him sheepishly, "It's all right, it's all right, it's the same..."

Chu Mingzhou nodded and said, "Let's hold it on the playground. There are many people in the art troupe, and some people from the troupe will come."

"Okay, I'll listen to my brother-in-law."

"The keys to the tube building will be distributed on the morning of the 20th, and the furniture will be delivered on the afternoon of the 20th. How about that?"

"Just right."

After dinner, Lin Anan took out the simple drawings she had drawn.

Everyone came over to look.

"Eighty square meters is not small. The current partition is in the style of two bedrooms and one living room. I have made a simple drawing for you. Do you think it is okay to arrange the furniture like this?

If you have any comments, you can make changes. If you don’t have any comments, just make a note of them. It will save you a lot of trouble if you can install the furniture all at once.”

Lin Zihuai was delighted. He slapped the table, shaking the enamel cup. "Okay! Let's follow the layout my sister drew. This is really good..."

He then quickly showed it to Dujuan for a closer look.

Du Juan nodded and said, "Very good, thank you, sister."

Lin Anan smiled and waved her hand, "Don't be so polite to your family."

"We have some candies left over from the last betrothal, and some dried jujubes that my aunt helped pickle. We'll share them with the new house when the time comes. We all live so close together in this tube-shaped building, so try to get along well with your neighbors."

Du Juan blushed again and pursed her lips, "I'll listen to you, but...will it be wasteful?"

Lin Zihuai held her hand, his eyes full of disapproval, "This is only once in a lifetime, you must enjoy it! When I make money in the future, I will definitely let you enjoy it even more!"

"you……"

As the night deepened, Tuanzi squatted at the door and wagged his tail.

Lin Zihuai and Du Juan stood up to say goodbye. The art troupe was a bit busy at the beginning of the year, and they both had a lot of things to pack, so they left first.

Chu Mingzhou supported Lin Anan and walked slowly in the main hall.

Pregnant women are like this for a while. Some time ago she didn't want to move at all, but recently she always felt her body was so heavy, and she felt more comfortable after moving around.

"Mingzhou, thank you."

"Um?"

Chu Mingzhou was stunned and confused by her thank you.

Lin Anan chuckled, her voice was particularly gentle, "I don't mean anything else, I just think you are very good. No matter whether it is my business or Zihuai's business, you worry about everything, but you don't mind."

"Why should I dislike it?"

"Look at me, my health is so poor, and I need you to take care of me everywhere, even Xiaolan and Xiaoyu have to work hard for me.

And Zihuai...my parents are not here either, so I have to rely on you, my brother-in-law, to take care of everything. If I were someone else, I would have divorced you long ago."

Lin Anan looked up at him and met his direct gaze.

"An An, I have never thought about what you said. It is my responsibility to take care of you. Besides, Zi Huai is also my brother."

Lin Anan snorted twice and reached out to hug him, "Chu Mingzhou, you are fine!"

Chu Mingzhou didn't know how to respond, because he felt that it was just a small favor and it was what he should do, so he didn't deserve a thank you.

Lin Anan felt particularly warm in her heart.

This man had long since turned his love for her into responsibility for the entire family.

very nice.

February 20th.

Lin Zihuai went to the Housing Management Department early in the morning to complete the final procedures and got the key to the new house.

After getting the key, he immediately took it to find Lin Anan.

Lin Anan came out of the inner room, holding her waist, and opened the door for him.

"Sister, come and take a look!" Lin Zihuai walked into the room panting, turned the key in his hand around, and hung a red silk flower given by the Housing Management Department on the metal key chain.

Lin Anan's eyes curved slightly, and she immediately took it and looked at it, "Zihuai, congratulations!"

"hey-hey."

"Xiao Lan and Xiao Yu were just arguing! They said they had to go to school because school had started, so they couldn't be the first to see the new house. It's a pity."

"What's the big deal? Wait until the two little ones have rested and then take them to my place to stay."

"Okay, I'll go with you to collect the room later, and your brother-in-law will have someone move the furniture over in the afternoon."

"good."

Lu Qing approved leave for Lin Zihuai, but Du Juan had something else on hand and couldn't leave, so she waited until noon to meet up with the two of them.

Dujuan got lunch from the company canteen, and the food was pretty good.

After finishing their meal, the three of them set off towards the tube building.

Lin Anan packed up the broom, rag and other items in advance and took them with her.

In the open space in front of the tube building, several soldiers were carrying wooden boards and walking in, and some neighbors were coming in and out.

The house assigned to Lin Zihuai is on the second floor, at the very edge. Not only is it the largest in area, but it also has the best lighting and environment. It's just a little far from the stairs, but fortunately it's not noisy that way.

When the key was inserted into the keyhole, it turned three times.

Lin Zihuai practiced this simple move dozens of times in his bed last night...

The moment the door was opened, a slight smell of dust hit me in the face.

Lin Zihuai almost jumped over the threshold, his military boots making brisk sounds on the concrete floor: "Sister, it faces south!"

He pulled away the newspaper covering the glass. Dujuan moved closer and some scraps of paper fell on her shoulders, startling her and causing her to let out a soft cry.

As soon as the newspaper was torn, sunlight poured in.

Lin Anan walked around the house with a smile.

"It's really nice. The living room and rooms are all neat and tidy. Moreover, every room faces the sun and has large windows."

Dujuan rolled up her sleeves quickly and prepared to clean up.

Lin Anan handed the broom to Lin Zihuai, "Zihuai, clean up first, Dujuan, come with me."

Dujuan immediately understood, put down her sleeves again, smoothed her hair, and hurriedly followed with the candies and dried jujubes.

As they walked out, the door next door happened to open, and they were greeted by an old lady with white hair.

"Hey~ You guys are from the family of Lin the performer, right?"

Lin Anan smiled and pushed Du Juan forward, "Yes, hello grandma, I am Lin Zihuai's sister, and this is his wife Du Juan. When they move in, I'll trouble you to take care of them."

The old lady hurriedly opened the door wider and said, "Okay, okay, come in and sit down."

When the door opened, Lin Anan smelled a faint scent of Chinese medicine and frowned slightly with some discomfort.
