Chapter 173 Ask your wife for instructions in the morning and use your best moves in the afternoon
Jiang Zhizhi never had a home of her own in her entire life. She had always lived in a house assigned by the army. She lived alone, comfortably and freely, but she always felt that something was missing.
Sometimes when I was on vacation, I would go to my master and his wife’s house for a meal. The kind master’s wife would prepare a room for her and would always warmly let her stay at her home.
But no matter how good a home is, it is not yours.
"Then I want a swing. It would be great to have a bungalow with a yard. I also want to put two lounge chairs under the tree, one for you and one for me. In the summer, we can sit under the tree and eat watermelon while enjoying the summer breeze. Also, I want to plant some flowers in the yard, and even better, have a puppy..."
Lu Xingchen couldn't hide the smile on his face, and his heart seemed to be filled with something, making it hard not to be moved by her.
He lived in a dormitory when he was a new recruit, and later he moved to a single dormitory.
His dormitory only has a single bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a closet. It is simple but convenient to live in.
Now, things are completely different. Listening to the little girl talking with a smile about how to plan their little home, why would he want to go back to his single room?
Lu Xingchen brought his wife's soft and fragrant little hand to his lips, kissed it, and laughed happily: "I'll take care of all this."
"There are more than 30 brigades near the military region. In one of the brigades, an old carpenter has excellent skills in making furniture. The 36 legs used for weddings are all ordered from him."
"A desk, four chairs, a large wardrobe, a square table, a dining cabinet, and a kang. If we have a bed, we can get another large cabinet."
As long as she was willing to follow him in the army, he would prepare the best things for her. Even if they were hard to find, he would go to a few more places and he would always be able to find them.
His elder and second brothers had all the industrial coupons needed for the "Three Transfers and One Response". If he didn't have enough, his comrades would lend them to him voluntarily.
This is how it is in the army. If a brother is getting married and doesn't have enough industrial coupons, cloth coupons, etc., everyone will give some to him first and then replenish them later when they have more.
She originally thought that marriage would be a very distant thing, but now that she and Brother Chen sat down to discuss family matters, that sense of distance suddenly dissipated a lot.
Jiang Zhizhi asked curiously, "Then if we go and order the furniture directly, does that count as a private transaction?"
Lu Xingchen smiled and replied, "The brigade has regulations over there. All profits are counted as the brigade's, not as sales. But the old carpenter can't work in vain. These are all counted as work points. The old carpenter can earn dozens of work points."
"Besides, there is a big market every month at the compound. People from nearby brigades will bring their own agricultural products out to sell. I'll take you there then."
"As for going out to buy things on weekdays, you can just take the army's car. They have time limits, and many military wives will go out with them. Gently kiss the pear to organize"
"Over at the family compound, our battalion commander Liang Zhirong's wife Nong Chunhua is a very easy-going person. I'd like to ask Sister Chunhua to take good care of you."
So that's how it is. Jiang Zhizhi nodded, her eyes falling on his handsome face uncontrollably, her fingertips touching Lu Xingchen's dimples, "Then for the remaining three months, our new home will be handed over to you, Brother Chen."
So when the battalion commander heard the words "our new home", his heart surged and he felt full of energy. He thought it would be no problem for him to run 20 kilometers with a heavy load.
Lu Xingchen smiled confidently: "Organization, please rest assured, leave everything to me, I guarantee that the mission will be accomplished."
"Hey, hey, hey, what's that look? Why do I feel like you don't trust me? I'm the best at housekeeping in the first battalion, okay?"
"If you don't believe me, ask my uncle."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "My brother only said that you were the one who threw the blame. You provoked the whole dormitory to compete. Who knew that you actually lost and my brother won with great momentum."
Lu Xingchen was helpless and a little angry: "I just don't want to care about their stinky socks."
Lu Xingchen, a man of action, asked his wife for instructions that morning and called the troops immediately that afternoon.
The New Year is coming soon, so of course we should pay close attention to and greet our dedicated Political Commissar Chen Yueming.
.......
"This year, there are only a few of us left in the camp for the New Year. I don't know how happy Lao Lu and Lao Jiang, those two heartless guys, are having right now." Political Commissar Chen Yueming stopped writing, missing the time when the two were around.
Although it is noisy, it is lively!
At that moment, the phone rang.
Political Commissar Chen Yueming put down his pen and answered the phone, "Hello."
"Hahahaha, it's our Captain Lu? Everything is fine here, nothing serious."
"You have a little conscience, you still remember us brothers who stayed in the military area and stayed at our posts."
"Where's Lao Jiang?"
Lu Xingchen's dark eyes sparkled, he held the microphone in one hand, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "My eldest brother-in-law is busy."
"Isn't the Chinese New Year coming soon? No matter what, I will never forget Lao Chen and Lao Liang."
"By the way, Political Commissar Chen Yueming, I want to apply for family housing."
Political Commissar Chen Yueming, who was usually eloquent, suddenly became speechless and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
Wait, how do you know that your brother-in-law is busy?
You couldn't have successfully infiltrated Jiang Wang's family, did you?
What else do you want to apply for family housing? Now you have a family?
Unless your marriage report has special approval, how can it be so fast?
I just submitted my marriage report this morning. The sun is still high in the sky.
“Knock knock knock…”
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Xiao Xiu, the guard beside Teacher Zhao, came in with a pile of documents and said with a smile, "Political Commissar Chen, Instructor Liang, I'm here to deliver Captain Lu's marriage report, which has been approved."
Political Commissar Chen Yueming rubbed his temple with one hand: "........"
If anyone wants to talk about awesomeness, it’s you!
Lu Xingchen on the other end of the phone obviously heard Xiao Xiu's voice and was very happy: "Old Chen, please give me a word."
Political Commissar Chen Yueming said with both amusement and anger, "No wonder you called me so eagerly to greet me. It turns out you are here to show off your skills."
He flipped through the family housing registration book and asked, "Do you know the situation of the family housing? Should we apply for a new house or go to the old family compound?"
"The new tube-shaped buildings have been built. Many wives of military personnel in the family compound like the buildings. They think they are high-tech and unique. Upstairs and downstairs are all neighbors, so it is convenient to help each other."
Lu Xingchen replied without hesitation: "A bungalow with a yard."
Political Commissar Chen Yueming nodded and flipped through the old family compound registration book. "It just so happens that the deputy commander of the Third Regiment applied for a new family compound last month, and his bungalow with a yard is now vacant. They are newly married and have only been living with the army for less than two months. The house is half old and half new. I think it's suitable. Shall I arrange it for you?"
When Lu Xingchen heard that there was a vacancy and that it was a job with a yard that his wife liked, he immediately agreed: "Okay, Lao Chen, you arrange it for me."
Political Commissar Chen Yueming had no reason to hesitate at this moment, as even Commander Zhao had given him a special approval.
Isn't it because Captain Lu is personally very strong and has made many contributions? Although he is still at the battalion level, he has completed two extremely difficult tasks during this period and has two more military merits. The key point is that the higher-ups also want to promote Lu Xingchen.
Not to mention Comrade Jiang Xiao, how many soldiers have been saved by the hemostatic drug she developed?
He successfully brought back all the soldiers who had gone to the front line, and used first aid pills to save the life of the regiment commander Gu Qingpei, which was enough to make a great contribution.
How can you not approve a mere family compound with a yard?
The instructor of the first battalion, Liang Zhirong, had to work hard to utter these few words: "Fuck, Lao Lu, you are really good."
Lu Xingchen was extremely happy and said without any humility: "Thank you, thank you."
Liang Zhirong chuckled and teased a man who was extremely brilliant: "What is our relationship? When will you invite brothers to drink wedding wine and eat wedding candy?"
