Chapter 311 Arrival in Beijing
Gu Yihan rubbed her heavy head, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she met Lu Huailin's worried eyes.
"Wife, you're awake!"
Gu Yihan slowly sat up, the sun shining through the window onto the quilt.
She turned her head to look at Lu Huailin, and said incredulously, "I slept all the way to my stop?"
Why didn't you call me?
"Yes, I woke you up for breakfast halfway through."
Gu Yihan looked at him in confusion: "How come I don't remember?"
Hao Hao forcefully pushed Lu Huailin away, climbed onto the sleeper berth, and sat in Gu Yihan's arms.
She pouted and said, "Mommy is mean, she won't have dinner with Hao Hao."
"She even slapped her father."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan's gaze swept to Lu Huailin's cheek, and she asked in confusion, "Did I hit you?"
Lu Huailin smiled and changed the subject, saying, "We're getting off at the next stop."
Seeing that Lu Huailin's answer was irrelevant, Hao Hao said with dissatisfaction, "Dad's answer is wrong!"
"Mom, Dad is calling you to get up and eat."
"You didn't even open your eyes before slapping Dad across the face and saying you were blind, daring to disturb my sleep!"
Although Hao Hao is young, he has an excellent memory. He even mimics Gu Yihan's cursing tone perfectly.
Gu Yihan didn't believe it at first, but when Hao Hao said the words "old mother," she wondered if she had really cursed someone in her dream.
After thinking for a moment, she realized that she didn't remember it, so it definitely wasn't her doing.
So she pretended not to hear, patted Hao Hao's little head, and said, "Hao Hao, do you want to wash your face with Mommy?"
Upon hearing about washing his face, Hao Hao immediately shook his head and said, "No, Daddy has already washed his face."
Lu Huailin sat down, held Hao Hao in his arms, and looked at Gu Yihan with amusement: "Wife, you can go now!"
Twenty minutes later
Lu Huailin carried Hao Hao and held his wife's hand as they walked out of the train station.
When He Shengli saw the family of three, he grinned, showing off his big white teeth, and went to greet them.
"Commander, sister-in-law, Hao Hao."
When Hao Hao saw He Shengli, he waved excitedly and shouted, "Uncle He!"
"Xiao He, you've come to Beijing too?"
He Shengli glanced at the expressionless Lu Huailin and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, from now on I will be the commander's personal driver!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan looked up at Lu Huailin with a puzzled expression: "Aren't you a bodyguard?"
Lu Huailin met his wife's curious eyes, his lips twitched, and he said softly, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
He Shengli replied with a smile, "Sister-in-law, the commander is now a division commander."
“His bodyguard was an outstanding talent selected from the division’s guard company; I am not qualified to run for the position.”
Gu Yihan was instantly embarrassed upon hearing this.
Isn't this just hitting Xiao He in the heart?
On the way back to the department.
As He Shengli drove, he said, "Sister-in-law, the family compound is quite far from the city, about 30 li away."
"So far?"
He Shengli nodded: "Although it's far from the city center, it's more convenient to buy things than in the military region of Kunming."
Lu Huailin continued, “Once you enter the residential area, the administrative office building is on the left and the kindergarten is on the right.”
"In the center of the family compound is the living service area, which includes a grain station, a non-staple food station, a vegetable station, and a barbershop."
"Basically, anything available outside can be bought in the residential compound."
Gu Yihan nodded, as long as she could buy it.
He Shengli parked the car in front of a row of two-story courtyard houses, turned to Lu Huailin and said, "The leader has arrived."
Gu Yihan got out of the car briskly and was the first to push open the courtyard gate.
I estimated the space in the yard to be about 30 square meters.
The space is quite large; you can grow some seasonal vegetables.
"Mommy, it's so big!" Hao Hao ran around in circles in the living room on the first floor.
Gu Yihan smiled and said, "Be careful, don't fall."
He Shengli smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, all the furniture on this floor has been arranged."
"The master bedroom and study on the second floor are furnished with matching furniture."
Gu Yihan smiled and nodded, looking around. The living room was about 40 square meters, and the dining room was equipped with a large round table that could accommodate about 8 people.
She walked towards the kitchen, paused for a moment when she saw the gas stove, and then smiled and said, "There's a gas stove too!"
Lu Huailin carried the backpack to the bedroom on the second floor and heard his wife's words as he went downstairs.
He walked up to Gu Yihan, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Our bedroom also has a private bathroom."
"That way, you won't have to worry about your bottom getting cold when you go to the toilet in winter."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan glared at Lu Huailin.
Turning around and walking into the bathroom, I saw a flush toilet and a white porcelain bathtub.
I'm starting to feel jealous. Everyone says that in this era, regardless of the level of power, everyone receives the same benefits and the wealth gap is small.
That's pure nonsense.
Leaving aside other places, in the military, those of low rank can only live in tenement buildings or single-story houses that need to be repaired every few years.
They couldn't possibly live in a row of small houses, and the military wouldn't provide such complete facilities; they would have to pay for them themselves.
Once you reach the level of deputy division commander, you don't have to worry about anything at all; you can simply move in with your bags.
Gu Yihan tidied up the items that had been mailed from home.
My first day at the family compound passed just like that.
the next day
Gu Yihan was making breakfast when Lu Huailin walked in carrying Hao Hao.
He said, "Honey, Mom called and asked me to come back home."
"Go now?"
"Aren't you having breakfast at home?"
"I'm not eating anymore."
Gu Yihan nodded and watched him leave.
Back home, she pouted, as if she didn't know that Lu's mother deliberately prevented her and her daughter from going back with Lu Huailin.
I wanted to give her a hard time.
Pshaw, who cares? If she could, she would never want to see Lu's mother even once in her life.
After Hao Hao finished breakfast, he insisted on going out, so Gu Yihan had no choice but to lead him for a while at the door.
"...Is she Commander Lu's wife?"
Gu Yihan turned around and saw a woman with short, ear-length hair, wearing a blue double-breasted Lenin suit.
"I am Lu Huailin's lover, and you are?"
"My wife is Political Commissar Zhao. You can just call me Aunt Zhang."
After saying that, he pointed to the courtyard to Gu Yihan's left and said with a smile, "We're neighbors now."
Zhang Mei smiled and said, "Old Zhao specifically told me before he left today that he wanted me to show you around the residential compound."
So that's how it is.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan quickly greeted her, "Auntie, hello, I'm Gu Yihan."
"This is my son, Hao Hao."
Zhang Mei took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and, smiling, stuffed them into Hao Hao's front pocket.
He smiled and said, "This is a gift from Grandma Zhang to you as we meet."
Hao Hao looked up and saw his mother nod, then turned to Zhang Mei and said in a childish voice, "Thank you, Grandma Zhang."
Seeing how polite Hao Hao was, Zhang Mei's impression of Gu Yihan improved considerably.
"Xiao Han, let's go, let's talk as we walk."
Regardless of whether Gu Yihan is easy to get along with, she must be extremely polite.
Zhang Mei led Gu Yihan to the central area of the family compound and introduced everything to her.
