Chapter 188 Family Courtyard, Xiao Lu Loves His Wife

Jiang Zhizhi stood in the yard and began to observe their new home.

The bathroom is on the left side of the main entrance. The bathroom is built here to be away from the kitchen.

There is a small path in the middle of the main entrance, with several red bricks placed on the path, and there is still a mud road underneath.

It's fine to walk on normally, but when it's windy and rainy, your shoes will get muddy when walking on this path.

On the left side of the path is a piece of vacant land, and on the right side is a water press and a clothes drying rack.

Walking along the path, there are five bungalows side by side, with the main room in the middle and bedrooms on both sides.

The rooms are big and small. The rooms have big kangs, so you don't have to worry about the cold in winter.

The house on the far right is used as a stove room. Jiang Zhizhi walked in and saw that the stove was really big.

There is a large water jar and a water ladle here, and a rice cabinet next to it.

Jiang Wang had already walked into the main hall for a look. There was a set of dining table and chairs in the main hall. The thirty-six legs that Lu Xingchen had asked the old carpenter to make were all in place.

The sleeping room has a large double-door wardrobe, a desk and a chair.

The brother and sister touched the edges and corners of the furniture, and sure enough, there was no burr at all.

It can be seen how much care the old carpenter put into making these furniture.

Jiang Zhizhi likes the environment here very much. Isn’t this the courtyard of her dreams?

If you plant some flowers in the yard and some mosquito repellent herbs, and transform the yard into a farmyard, it will be simple, leisurely and comfortable.

It's the life I long for!

"Brother Chen, why don't we pave the middle area with stone slabs? Then we won't have to worry about getting muddy when we walk back on rainy days."

"I'll grow whatever vegetables my brother likes to eat here."

"Chives, leeks can be used to make leek dumplings, leek pork dumplings, and leek fried eggs. Eating more leeks is good for your health."

When Jiang Zhizhi was making these plans, his eyes were bright and his tone was full of energy. Lu Xingchen was completely captivated and couldn't take his eyes off him.

"Leeks?" Jiang Wang couldn't help but laugh: "You remember what Old Deng said. It's true that vegetables are a bit scarce in the family yard. Many sisters-in-law grow their own food."

Lu Xingchen agreed without thinking, and said in an unusually gentle manner: "Don't you like to grow Chinese medicinal herbs? Vegetables, flowers, and medicinal herbs."

"These fields are not easy to plow. I will plow them again after I finish my training. I will plow them again after the first plowing to let the mud dry out in the sun."

"Wife, don't do anything. Leave all these things to me."

Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but being single is not good at all."

People are like this. He is happy and he also hopes that his good brother will meet a girl he likes, get married quickly and enjoy life.

Jiang Wang's happy heart suddenly fell to the bottom with a "pop" sound, and he grinned: "I don't want it!"

He doesn't look anxious.

Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "If fate has arrived, how can brother refuse?"

Jiang Wang twitched his nose and said in a embarrassed tone: "This matter has not happened yet. Am I the kind of person who would be so scared?"

"Zhizhi, you should live a good life here first. I, your brother, will come over from time to time to eat. If you have a kid in the future, I will put the kid in my pocket and take him for a walk."

Hehehe, continue his way of showing off!

Speaking of cooking, Jiang Zhizhi wrinkled his nose, "The stove here is too big. Usually, it's just me and Brother Chen who eat together. We have to wash the stove and light the firewood. I thought of using the stove to cook directly."

Lu Xingchen couldn't resist Jiang Zhizhi who was planning their little family, so he nodded directly: "Buy it!"

"But it's okay if my wife doesn't cook on weekdays. We can just eat in the cafeteria."

"Anyway, I won't starve to death as long as Old Dumbledore is here."

Jiang Zhizhi frowned and punched Lu Xingchen's arm, her eyes accusing him, "If people say I'm a lazy wife in the future, you'll be responsible if it gets out."

Lu Xing's voice was deep and full of smiles, "I just like your laziness."

Jiang Wang: “…”

Are you two trying to lure single people in here to kill them?

Have you considered your brother-in-law's feelings?

Jiang Wang and Lu Xingchen were both top picks at housekeeping, and now they were putting some daily necessities in order.

Jiang Wang asked: "When will my sister's big stuff arrive?"

Lu Xingchen said: "The earliest is the day after tomorrow. My childhood friend found a truck driver who was leaving the fastest. After he finished delivering the goods on his truck, he would stop by to pick us up."

"The sanitation here is ready. Zhizhi brought her dowry of quilts and pillows, so we can move in tonight. Tomorrow I will drive to the city with Zhizhi and buy everything we need."

It was not until this moment that Jiang Wang realized that it was obvious that Lao Lu had thought of everything for his sister.

Just as Lao Lu said, no matter Jiang Zhizhi takes the first step or she stands still, he will rush to take the remaining ninety-nine steps or a hundred steps.

At this moment, my brother-in-law felt a little relieved.

Jiang Zhizhi walked around her new home and made a list of everything she needed to buy.

Lu Xingchen: "Our family compound has electricity, and the monthly electricity bill is posted on the bulletin board of the family compound."

"The troops have a procurement vehicle every month. Just gather at the gate when the time comes."

Jiang Zhizhi said sincerely: "I think this place is a hundred times better than the tube building."

If you live in a tube-shaped building, the toilets are shared on the first floor.

Cooking is done in the corridor on the upper floor. Many military wives buy stoves that use beehive coal to cook.

Anyone passing by can see what you are cooking. There is no privacy at all.

If you want to wash dishes, you can do it in the bathroom on the first floor.

Sometimes when people live together, there will be more conflicts. As for things placed outside the house, it depends on the quality of the neighbors.

After all, there are always people who are greedy for bargains everywhere.

Lu Xingchen always liked listening to Jiang Zhizhi speak, and at this moment he was so happy that he wanted to sing a few military songs.

Jiang Zhizhi added: "I want to make a shoe cabinet. I can put all my shoes in it so it doesn't look messy."

Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "When we get to the big market, I'll take you to the old carpenter. You can talk to him about what kind of design you want."

At noon, Lu Xingchen went to the canteen to get his lunch. The four aluminum lunch boxes had been washed clean and stored here by Old Deng.

Because I had informed the squad leader of the kitchen squad, Old Dengtou, that they would use the small stove today, so the food was ready now and I was just waiting for someone to come and put it in the lunch boxes and take it away.

The squad leader of the kitchen team, Old Dengtou, scooped a large spoonful of meat into the aluminum lunch box and smiled brightly: "Congratulations, I wish you and your spouse a long and happy marriage and a baby soon."

"Hahaha, it must last forever, until we grow old together." Lu Xingchen smiled happily, settled the money and tickets, and went home with a full lunch box.

Yes, back home.

Return to his and Zhizhi’s little home.

While Lu Xingchen was having his meal, Jiang Wangxian returned his jeep to the camp.

Now that everyone has returned, it would be inappropriate for them to continue occupying the camp's resources.

Jiang Zhizhi was packing the things she brought with her at home. Her luggage was so full that no one knew what was inside.

From then on, whenever she took out something good from the space, she said she brought it with her before she joined the army.

Seeing that this home has become a little more warm, Jiang Zhizhi felt extremely satisfied.

"Is Xiaolu's wife home?"

"Zhizhi?"

"Yes."

The first battalion's instructor Liang Zhirong's wife Nong Chunhua and Political Commissar Chen Yueming's wife Yan Zi each carried a basket and walked in with smiles on their faces.

They knew that Jiang Zhizhi had just arrived and had not yet prepared many things, so they picked some vegetables from their own home.

Nong Chunhua also brought some homemade pickled sour beans and sugar garlic.

Nong Chunhua was straightforward and forthright. She introduced herself, "Mrs. Xiaolu, I am the daughter of Liang Zhirong, the instructor of the first battalion. As soon as I heard that you were joining the army, I came to see if there was anything I could do to help."

Yan Zi looked very open and confident. She said with a smile, "My husband is Political Commissar Chen Yueming. Zhizhi can just call me Yan Zi."

Jiang Zhizhi came over with a smile on her face. "Hello, sisters-in-law. Come in and sit down."

"I just arrived at the family home today, and I haven't arranged many things yet. It looks a bit messy right now."

At first glance, Xiao Lu's wife looked like a sweet and gentle beauty. She captured the hearts of her two sisters-in-law at their first meeting.

So, between people, affinity really comes first.

The two sisters-in-law smiled at each other and strode in.

"You can just call me Sister Chunhua, and we will call you Zhizhi."

"We've all been here before, so how could we not know that the first day we moved in was like a war, we were busy everywhere."

"I didn't know until I saw you today. I was shocked. You are really as beautiful as the rumors say."

This time the melon is authentic!

Nong Chunhua put down the basket enthusiastically, "At that time, Xiao Lu went to the old carpenter to make furniture, and then drove the big truck in the camp to transport all 36 legs back."

"Guess what, Zhizhi?"

Jiang Zhizhi happily ate melon, and he was eating his own melon.

"The soldiers from the first battalion came over to join in the fun and took down all 36 legs, which shocked the people in the family compound so much that their jaws dropped to the ground."

"Many people say that Captain Lu was too generous in spending money on marrying a wife."

"How much money does it cost to do so many big things? He also painted the walls of the family room white, tidied the house, and scrubbed the dirty areas clean."

"Have the wives of soldiers ever seen a cadre in the camp go to such great lengths to find a wife?"

"Some are jealous, some are jealous..."

"Who knew that our notoriously fierce Captain Lu would respond directly after hearing this."

"I earn money to spend on my wife."

So who said that Captain Lu doesn't love his wife?

Xiao Lu loves his wife!
