A truck loaded with furniture stopped at the door.

"Thank you, Master. This is it."

Song Youyou got off the car and the movers began to unload the furniture.

"Wow, you bought so much new furniture?"

“Yeah, that’s going to cost a lot of money, right?

When the two aunts saw it, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Not only them, the noise of the truck driving over also attracted a lot of people to watch.

The family compound is usually not very lively, and the general activity is just gossip. So when there was some movement here, many family members quickly put down their chores and came over to watch the fun.

"Wow, this furniture looks familiar. It seems to be from the Friendship Store?"

Someone in the crowd murmured.

"Yes, yes! I saw them when I was at the Friendship Store. Look at the sofa and the soft chairs there, they're all padded. I heard they're the latest styles. They're so comfortable to sit on, and you won't feel cold even in winter."

"It looks comfortable..."

Song Youyou didn't expect that the people in the family compound were so fond of joining in the fun that they could even get together to discuss this.

She bought furniture and decorated the house just to make it more comfortable. After all, she and Gu Xiao would probably live here for quite a long time.

Anyway, her income can support her consumption, so she didn't expect others to be so surprised.

However, Song Youyou just sighed and soon stopped paying attention to other people's opinions. She focused on arranging the placement of each piece of furniture.

Song Youyou no longer cared, but every discussion from those people outside was like a sharp arrow piercing Qiao Shan's heart.

Is Song Youyou worthy of using such a good thing?

It's like feeding ginseng to dogs!

"Sister Song really knows how to enjoy life... Oh no, Sister Song, don't get me wrong~ I mean, Sister Song really knows how to buy things. These furniture must have cost Brother Gu Xiao several months' salary, right?"

Qiao Shan raised her voice.

"...I don't know." She had never calculated it.

Song Youyou didn't even turn her head and continued to arrange the work in an orderly manner.

Beds, cabinets, tables, chairs, sofas... every piece of furniture made the house feel more like home.

Song Youyou was very satisfied.

Qiao Shan was very angry, "Brother Gu Xiao, Sister Song bought so many things at once, maybe just because she's used to spending money lavishly, don't be angry..."

"I'm angry? Why should I be angry? What do you want to say?"

I have been speaking in a roundabout way since I was a child, and I don’t mind it.

Gu Xiao asked, "Is the military hospital so idle that you don't even have to go to work?"

“…”

Not only was he not angry with Song Youyou, but he also chased her away?!

She came to see him without even having a meal, and he treated her like this?

Qiao Shan's eyes turned red, "Then I'll leave?"

"Um."

"???"

Knowing that Gu Xiao has always had a cold temper, Qiao Shan has always been very generous and doesn't blame him for his harsh words, but today... he went too far!

She was angry, she was really angry this time!

For several days, Qiao Shan stopped looking for Gu Xiao, wanting to let him know that she also has a temper!

…

Song Youyou, who was busy moving, had no idea that Qiao Shan was angry.

Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't have any extra thoughts.

After a few days, this bungalow with a yard has been cleaned up and becomes very livable.

The previously empty yard is no longer what it used to be.

There is a stone road from the courtyard gate to the door of the house.

On one side of the yard, a plastic shed was built and some vegetable seeds were sown inside.

On the other side, there are a few chickens and ducks.

There is also a space against the wall next to the kitchen door, which is used for washing.

The living room is in the middle of this bungalow, with a bedroom on the side.

So, she set up a study in the bedroom, which she could use to work from home, and Gu Xiao also had a place to work when he needed to go home.

The dining table and chairs are placed on one side of the hall, forming a small dining room next to the living room.

There is a small kitchen on the left side of the house and a bathroom on the right side.

Song Youyou also built a flush toilet next to the bathhouse.

She really couldn't accept the public dry toilets here, so she asked someone to build a toilet for her own use on the day she bought the furniture.

In addition, Gu Xiao knew that she liked to take a bath when she was too tired, so he made a bath tub for her and placed it in the bathroom.

So, although she had only lived at the border for a few days, she had already gotten used to the life there, except that she missed her family in Beijing.

That day, after lunch, Song Youyou went to the study to write letters to her relatives and friends in Beijing.

Not long after I started writing, I heard a burst of curses from outside the yard.

"Hungry, hungry, hungry, what are you hungry for? You're just hungry every day. You're just a money-losing girl who only knows how to eat!"

Song Youyou knew who was cursing.

Zhang Guizhi, her neighbor, is married to Xu Jianguo, the battalion commander of the first battalion.

Zhang Guizhi was from the countryside, but she was rescued by Xu Jianguo after she fell into the water. Her family members insisted that Xu Jianguo marry Zhang Guizhi.

Xu Jianguo was not only a battalion commander, but also a city dweller. Therefore, Zhang Guizhi, who married into a wealthy family, always felt inferior and tried to please her husband. She tried her best to give birth to a son for her battalion commander husband, but she was not able to bear two children, so she either beat or scolded her two daughters.

Her eldest daughter went to school, and the one she just scolded should be her second daughter, Erya.

"Sister Song, open the door! I need you for something!"

Song Youyou was actually impatient to deal with her, but the door was slammed so loudly that she couldn't pretend to be dead.

"Hey~ Miss Song, why are you at home with the door closed in broad daylight? It took me so long to find you."

Before Zhang Guizhi finished speaking, she walked in first, and her second daughter Erya followed her timidly.

Zhang Guizhi looked here and touched there, "Ha, this cushioned sofa is still the most comfortable! I've sat on it so many times and I still like it very much."

Four-year-old Erya had already walked to the dining table following the smell and was drooling at the leftovers on the table.

"It's food..."

"You're a starving ghost!" Zhang Guizhi immediately went over and twisted Erya's arm. "You're so shameless! It's like you came here just to beg for food!"

As he said this, he laughed at Song Youyou.

Xu Erya, who was being twisted, burst into tears.

The crying sounded like a kitten that had been hungry for several days, small and shrill.

Tears flowed across the dirty face, leaving two clean water marks immediately.

Then he looked at Song Youyou pitifully and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Song Youyou frowned again and again as she watched.

"It's okay, just eat when you're hungry."

It's lunch time now. She knows exactly what Zhang Guizhi's purpose is, not only not giving the child food but also bringing the food to someone else's house.

But she was too lazy to argue with her because of the child's pity.

"Erya, auntie will reheat the food before giving it to you, okay?"

Song Youyou put the dishes in the pot to steam, and then took a handkerchief to wipe Xu Erya's hands and face, and then asked:

"What does Mrs. Zhang want to see me about?"

"Of course it's a good thing, what else could it be!"

"Sister Song, you didn't know this yet, didn't you? The military hospital here has been expanded and is hiring a lot of people now!"

Seeing that the girl who paid compensation successfully got a meal, Zhang Guizhi was very satisfied, and when she talked about the matter, her facial features became more serious.

"I heard they're hiring doctors and logistics staff. They're looking for positions in every field. And many of the vacancies give priority to military wives, so we can have a job and help support our families!"

"We're not qualified to be doctors, but we can handle logistics and cleaning, and other rough work. We're just right for it!"
