Jiang Mengxue dreamed that she would return to several decades ago. She decisively sold all her property and filled the warehouse space of the bracelet left by her grandmother.
When Gu Qingbe...
But thinking that his wife had to face this curse all day long, he had to cheer up. At least he could share some of the burden at night, without having to make his wife get up several times in the middle of the night.
But this would make both of them very tired, so Lu Zhengming said that he would rather go to work than take care of the children.
We soon arrived at the headquarters’ family compound, but the road in front of the compound was not wide, making it inconvenient for the car to drive in.
Meng Yizhou and Wang Jinbao pushed two flatbed carts, and the big men took all the luggage back home after a few trips back and forth.
This time, the house Gu Qingbei was assigned was much larger, with four bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. If it was still not enough, another room could be built in the living room, so the living room was quite large.
This was also because Lu Zhengming specially chose a big house for them considering that their family had a large population.
His family lives in the front row, with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. It is not small. Anyway, his sons do not need to live in separate rooms, and there is even a room left for a study.
Jiang Mengxue asked them to choose their own rooms. Because time was tight, there was only one bed in each room.
There is a simple wooden sofa and a square dining table in the living room.
I don’t have anything else.
Lu Zhengming touched his nose feeling a little guilty. He was indeed very busy during this period. When he finally had time to come over to the house to clean up, he found that there was nothing there.
He called Gu Qingbei and asked what needed to be prepared, otherwise he didn't know how to arrange the furniture.
Gu Qingbei just asked him to find someone to clean the place and he didn't need to prepare anything else.
You have to come and see it in person to know exactly what is needed, and Lu Zhengming doesn't want to cause too much trouble as he has more things to do.
Although there is a bed in every room, children will inevitably not want to sleep together as they grow older, and they also need to have their own personal space.
So Jiang Mengxue planned to make the room into a room with a bed above and a desk below.
Since Zhizhi is a girl, she must live in a room by herself, with a wardrobe, desk, and storage cabinet.
There are really a lot of things to prepare, and I guess I will be busy for a while.
"Mobao, Ruirui, and Xinxin will share a room, Manman and you will sleep with your two younger brothers, and Zhizhi will live by herself.
Time is tight and the furniture isn't ready yet, so you'll just have to stay here for a few days. There's a place in the army where furniture is made, and I'll go over and order some. It'll only take a few days at most."
This was also Gu Qingbei's first time here, and Lu Zhengming helped him with everything, including choosing a house.
"Don't be busy today. Come to my house for dinner tonight. Siyue prepared it at home before I left."
Jiang Mengxue frowned: "She is already tired from taking care of the child alone, let's just go to the cafeteria and have a simple meal."
"Don't worry, I also found an unemployed family member in the family compound to come to my house to help take care of the children and cook. It's been much easier having someone to help me lately."
Jiang Mengxue finally felt relieved.
Take out the gifts for the Lu family and the specialties of Beijing and prepare to take them away later.
Jiang Mengxue first tidied up each bed. There was no need to put down a quilt, but a mattress and a mat were required.
She has not been able to accept a hard bed for many years, so she has to put something under the mat.
I walked around the house and found that there was actually nothing to clean.
There is no wardrobe for personal items such as clothes, and no storage cabinet for other miscellaneous items.
The two found a notebook and sat on the sofa in the living room to write and draw.
"Measure the dimensions of the rooms. Mobao and Ruirui will have one room, and the three younger brothers will have another. There'll be beds on the top, desks and storage cabinets below, and a small wardrobe for each of them on the other side. This will be the case for now, and we can add more if needed later.
Zhizhi lives in one room by herself, and since the room is big enough, there is no need to build a two-story house.
The bed is fine and doesn't need to be changed. Add a desk, a wardrobe, and a high and low cabinet for storage next to the windowsill, and you'll also need a shoe cabinet.
Let's have the same arrangement in our room. We should have two rows of bookshelves in the living room. Except for the textbooks that the children use for school, everything else should be placed on the outer shelves.
The bathroom also needs two multi-layer shelves, kitchen cupboards... "
Jiang Mengxue spoke out every word that came to her mind, and Gu Qingbei wrote down every word he heard.
Gu Qingbei knew the specific styles they wanted, so Jiang Mengxue didn't say much.
After roughly writing down some of the furniture needed, Gu Qingbei asked Meng Yizhou to find someone to make it.
There are many talented people in the army, and they can do all kinds of things. The logistics department has special people who customize furniture. No matter if there is a need in military dormitories or military family compounds, they will go to them.
"Okay, don't pack anymore. Come help me get my things. Let's go to your Uncle Lu's house."
Jiang Mengxue brought a lot of things, including bagged Beijing roast duck, Beijing eight dim sum, braised pork elbow, and a big bag of local specialties.
Just as they were about to go out, they saw Han Siyue walking to the door of Gu's house with a baby of several months old in her arms. They met them just as they were about to push the door open.
"Sister Xue, my God, how come you haven't changed at all in all these years?"
Han Siyue was worried that they might not recognize each other after not seeing each other for a few years.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Mengxue hadn't changed at all, from her hairstyle to her clothes, she was still the same as before.
“I haven’t changed yet, I’ve been chased by the kids until I’m old.
This must be your third child, he looks exactly like Yingjie when he was little, and they both look like you."
In fact, Han Siyue hasn't changed much. Although she looks a little tired, it is obvious that she has always been cared for.
"It seems that your old Lu treats you well. You are still in the same state as when you were young."
Han Siyue was a little shy. Although they had been married for so many years, her relationship with Lu Zhengming had always been good.
She only needs to take care of herself and her children. If there are any unsolvable problems, she can hand them over directly to Lu Zhengming, who can solve all difficulties perfectly.
So even if there are small problems in life, it will not affect the relationship between them at all.
"Oh my god, Mobao has grown so big. What did you feed him? How did he grow so tall? Yingjie is smaller than Fufu and the others, but he is at least half a head shorter."
Mobao may have inherited the tall genes from his parents. In addition, he has been well-nourished since childhood and has never been hungry. He has always loved sports. After going to school, he often plays ball and jumps rope with his classmates.
So Jiang Mengxue really hadn't worried about Mo Bao's height, as he was almost as tall as her now.
"Their characters are a bit taller than normal. Even if Yingjie is a bit shorter, he's still of normal height, so there's nothing to worry about."
She was a little worried that Mobao would grow too tall to be contained. He thought it would only need to be a little over 1.8 meters tall, and there was no need for it to be too tall.
Being too tall is not necessarily a good thing.
It’s just that with current medical conditions, it’s impossible to measure bone age, otherwise it would definitely have to be controlled.
