"Then I will try to be your neighbor as soon as possible."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you then."
The place for throwing garbage was a special place on the side of the family building. Ming Leyao had to pass by there on her way back to the guesthouse, so they walked hand in hand for a short distance and then left.
The military wives downstairs who were gossiping just now felt even more sad when they saw the two of them coming out talking and laughing.
The reason is naturally because of Qiao Xiaoran's background and the man she married...
Qiao Xiaoran grew up in a compound in Beijing. Her father and grandfather were both in the army and held high positions. Her husband Duan Yangbing's family background is similar to Qiao Xiaoran's. Duan Yangbing served in the Northern Military Region and won many merits, becoming the youngest battalion commander after Fu Wencheng.
These military wives wanted to support this couple, but they didn't give them face. After being rejected, no one wanted to approach them. Who would have thought that today they would see Ming Leyao talking and laughing with Qiao Xiaoran...
Why?
Is it just because Ming Leyao’s man is Chief Fu?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get...
There is nothing they can do about it even though they are angry. These military wives become more and more sarcastic in their words.
But these have nothing to do with Ming Leyao for now. According to her personality, if she is easy to get along with, she will get along with her. If she is not easy to get along with, then goodbye. If she provokes me, I will just...
It's just that tough.
Three days later, the logistics department had finished packing the cabinets and other items, and contacted Fu Wencheng to ask him when they could be delivered. Fu Wencheng asked his leader for a day off and was busy for the entire morning before the cabinets, beds, sofas, stools and other furniture were delivered to the house one after another.
After lunch, Fu Wencheng took his wife to his new home.
"Wife, take a look, is this the effect you want?"
After opening the door, the originally clean and simple building was filled with neatly arranged furniture. The cupboards and cabinets with drawers in the kitchen were neatly arranged. There was also a piece of furniture similar to a chest of drawers next to the dining table. This was Ming Leyao's special request. She planned to put some things used for drinking tea on it, including tea leaves, brown sugar and other miscellaneous small items.
The solid wood sofa in the living room has a simple design and is divided into two single seats and one triple seat. She plans to put some cotton pads on them and cover them with cloth.
In front of the sofa is a large and bulky coffee table, and opposite it is a whole row of low cabinets neatly placed there. This is what is called a TV cabinet in modern times, but there is no large-screen TV now, so I can only buy a small black and white TV to make do with it.
The master bedroom has a large wardrobe with a full-length mirror on it. I heard that this was Fu Wencheng's special request. The logistics department didn't have this thing originally, so they bought it later.
The bed is 1.8 meters long, which is quite unique in an era when most beds are 1.5 meters long.
Because the other bedrooms are small, they all have 1.5-meter beds, wardrobes, and bedside tables. The uniform style is not very good-looking.
As for the bathroom...
It is quite difficult to get a ceramic basin in this day and age. Ming Leyao didn't know where Fu Wencheng got it from. It was hanging on the wall cleanly with a drain pipe underneath, making it look particularly thin.
There is a wider horizontal bar above the ceramic basin, and next to it is a row of horizontal bars for hanging towels. The toilet is a squat toilet, and the bathing area is separated by a curtain next to it.
Although there is no water heater or other things, it is still possible to put a bathtub..
But you have to boil the water yourself, which is a bit troublesome.
"How is it? Wife, are you satisfied?"
"Yes, when will the gas tank be delivered?"
"Tomorrow morning, the logistics person will go out to buy things and bring them back. You just wait at home and I will have someone deliver them directly."
"Okay."
Ming Leyao took out a quilt from her own space, made the bed in the master bedroom soft, and then covered it with sheets. Fu Wencheng was responsible for folding the tofu cubes.
Clothes and other things are all neatly stacked in the closet, and scattered small items are placed on the bedside table.
There were also pots and pans in the kitchen. Ming Leyao took out some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, as well as some grains and dried vegetables from the space and placed them in their proper places.
She walked to the living room, took out the curtains, and asked Fu Wencheng to hang them up in several rooms. She took a tape measure, measured the size of the sofa, and prepared to make the sofa cushions when she had time.
The two of them were busy like this until night came. The dim light bulbs in the house were still quite bright in the dark. Ming Leyao took out the food from the space, and the couple had their first meal in their new home.
After the meal, Fu Wencheng suggested that they stay in the guesthouse for a few days as the new home needed some time to cool down. Ming Leyao thought about it and agreed, so she didn't insist and followed him back to the guesthouse.
The next morning, Fu Wencheng sent his wife to her new home before going to work. When he left the house, he ran into Duan Yangbing who lived opposite.
When Duan Yangbing saw the person coming, he immediately saluted in a very formal manner.
"Chief."
"Well, have you finished dealing with the matters in your original unit?"
"It's over for today. You can report to the Special Operations Department in the afternoon."
"Okay, let's go together."
"Yes, Chief."
After Fu Wencheng left, Ming Leyao entered the space and started making sofa cushions. She couldn't sit still and was also impatient. She used the time difference in the space and finished all the sofa cushions in less than half an hour. She took them out and installed them, watching the red painted sofa turn into lake green...
Forget it, green is the characteristic of this era. There will be more green things in my home in the future. Maybe I will feel comfortable just looking at them.
Just after she finished arranging the sofa, there was a knock on the door. Ming Leyao opened the door and saw a straight little soldier standing outside, holding a gas tank and two gas stoves in his hands.
"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm here to deliver something."
"Come in, you've worked so hard."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, sister-in-law, can I help you install it?"
"Okay, I don't know how to do it either. It would be great if you could help me."
It was the first time that the young soldier was praised by a beautiful comrade. He touched his head shyly, picked up his things and quickly went into the kitchen to start tinkering with them.
Ming Leyao knew that he was embarrassed, so she didn't go near him. She simply swept the room with a broom. She planned to mop the floor properly when she had time. While sweeping, she was thinking about what else she needed to buy. She was afraid that she would forget, so she carried a pen and paper with her to make notes at any time.
Ten minutes later, the little soldier came out of the kitchen, smiling innocently, and didn't even dare to look up at Ming Leyao.
"Sister-in-law, the gas tank has been installed. I just tested it and it works.... Then I... I'll leave first."
"Thank you. I know you are busy, so I won't keep you here. When I have time, I will ask your leader to invite you to dinner at my home."
It was not known whether the young soldier heard what Ming Leyao said next, but he heard her say that she would not stay, and then he ran away.
