Chapter 025 Beating your wife behind closed doors?
Grandpa Lu thought it was nothing. "It's better to transfer to Qingbei. At that time, Jianye insisted on staying in the Kyoto Military Region. Some people have been saying that Liansheng abused his power for personal gain. Xiaolin can gain some experience by going to Qingbei, and it will be safer."
When Grandma Lu heard this, she immediately got up and went back to her room.
When she came out again, she was holding a passbook in her hand and handed it to Lu Jianlin who was sitting next to her and reading a newspaper quietly.
"Xiao Lin, come here. This is what grandma gave to your sister-in-law. You must bring it to grandma..."
Wei Mingyu immediately responded, "Mom has some too. When Mom buys everything, she'll give them to you! Also, you two brothers have to show your appreciation, too."
Toolman Lu Jianlin: "..."
He took the passbook and nodded slightly, "Okay. I understand!"
Lu Liansheng thought for a moment and said, "Mingying, send some more things to Mingyu and ask her to deliver them to the Gu family."
Wei Mingying immediately understood, "Okay, I'll get it ready."
If Jiansen had not married Xiaoxi, he might have returned to the army early and become the "sacrificed" hero.
As a mother, she doesn't need a hero or a martyr, she just wants her son to be well.
Jiansen's daughter-in-law is the lucky star of their family. It is a blessing for Jiansen to marry her.
Such a good girl should be treated well!
Lu Jianlin put down the newspaper, picked up the group photo on the table and took a look at it.
The guy in the photo is very handsome, and the girl next to him is the kind of girl who makes people feel comfortable and sweet at first sight.
It turns out that his elder brother likes this!
…
On the other side, Qingbei Military Region.
Gu Xiaoxi was rubbing his eyes while holding a passbook.
"Five... five thousand?"
She was not mistaken. There was actually 5,000 yuan in this passbook?
"Why do you have so much money?"
Seeing the little girl so shocked, Lu Jiansen couldn't help but rub her head.
"This is what my grandmother left for me before she passed away. She said it was for me to use when I get married!"
Gu Xiaoxi was still shocked, "Your grandma is so rich?"
Lu Jiansen nodded. "My grandparents were businessmen, and famous patriotic businessmen. They donated most of their property to the country. This money was allowed by the country to be left to them. My mother was their first child, and I am their first son, so most of their things were left to me."
Gu Xiaoxi was startled again, "I gave it all to you? Do your two brothers have any objections?"
Lu Jiansen smiled and shook his head, "They dare not have any opinions. Because this was the rule when my grandfather was alive. My grandfather always keeps his word and no one dares to disobey him. When I was young, my two brothers were very afraid of my grandfather."
Then he handed another passbook to the little girl and said, "This is where I saved my allowance. You can decide what to buy in the future."
Gu Xiaoxi took a look and found that Lu Jiansen had saved quite a bit of money himself, actually more than two thousand.
She looked at him curiously, "Don't you usually use money?"
Lu Jiansen shook his head. "I'm in the army every day and rarely have the opportunity to spend money. Sometimes my grandparents and my mother would give me money. From now on, I'll let you take care of the money."
Gu Xiaoxi suddenly became a rich man, and he felt quite complicated.
This man really trusts her without reservation!
"I have a day off today, do you want to go out for a walk?" Lu Jiansen stroked the little girl's injured hand, with a dark look in his eyes.
Gu Xiaoxi put the passbook away and pointed to the back of the house. "How about we build a bathroom in the back?"
She doesn't want to go that far to use the public restroom!
Lu Jiansen nodded and said, "I have asked the logistics department to help buy bricks and cement. When the time comes, we will build a bathroom in the front yard and a toilet in the back yard."
Seeing that he had already made arrangements, Gu Xiaoxi said, "Then shall we go buy a bathtub?"
Lu Jiansen said gently, "I've asked someone to make a new one, and it will be delivered to you in the evening."
Gu Xiaoxi blinked and said, "Then can you take me around the neighborhood?"
"Sure. It's a bit cold outside, wear more clothes!"
"Yes!" Gu Xiaoxi obediently put on another piece of clothing.
After the two of them went out, Lu Jiansen introduced her one by one to the families living nearby and how to address them.
When passing by the place where he fell last night, Gu Xiaoxi saw the military wife who was the first person to help him last night in the yard opposite.
She immediately smiled and greeted people.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for last night!"
Li Guifen smiled cheerfully, "Nothing. Sister, are you going out with Captain Lu?"
Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes! He showed me the way!"
"Go! Go! They have a rare day off, so they want to accompany you to get familiar with the environment. But you fell yesterday, so they asked Captain Lu to lend you a bicycle to take you."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Lu Jiansen also said thank you.
In fact, he had not had much dealings with these sisters-in-law, but he had a good memory.
Li Guifen was so happy when she saw that Battalion Commander Lu thanked her!
It is said that Captain Lu has a cold face like King Yan, and he has no expression when he meets anyone. But now he has expression!
As soon as the two of them left, she went to visit other families humming a song.
Lu Jiansen actually borrowed a bicycle and took the little girl around to familiarize herself with the environment.
Gu Xiaoxi sat on the back of the bicycle, happily pulling at the hem of Lu Jiansen's clothes and playing with them.
Lu Jiansen wanted to carry the little girl to the front of the bicycle several times, but he held back because he thought it would have a bad impact.
After strolling outside for two hours, Gu Xiaoxi fully realized one thing.
The troops are too remote!
If you want to buy something, the nearest place is Tangling Town under Qingbei City, but it takes 20 minutes to ride a bicycle there, and it is even farther to walk.
It was not easy to go out, so Gu Xiaoxi took Lu Jiansen to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town.
She took out all the tickets and bought whatever she saw that was suitable.
I bought one pound of brown sugar and one pound of white sugar, two thermos, some rice, flour, oil, and grain, some sesame seeds and peanuts, ten eggs, two cabbages, and used the only two pounds of meat coupons I had left.
Seeing that the little girl bought only food, Lu Jiansen went to buy her shampoo, soap, soap, washing powder, hot water bottle, vanishing cream, and a small dressing mirror.
Before leaving, he bought a pair of enamel pots with double flying swallows and the word "happiness" on them and an enamel kettle.
By the time they got home, their bicycles were already full of stuff.
Gu Xiaoxi sat on the back of the bicycle, her head leaning on Lu Jiansen's back, a satisfied and happy smile on her face.
This kind of life is simple but happy!
Although Lu Jiansen didn't see the little girl's expression, he could feel her good mood, so the corners of his lips were always slightly raised.
After returning to the family compound, Lu Jiansen put his things back home and went to return his bicycle first.
Gu Xiaoxi entered the kitchen. Her cooking skills were average, but her pastry skills were excellent, so she planned to make some brown sugar cakes and send some to Sister-in-law Li.
She was busy in the kitchen, but people outside were talking about the fact that she bought a lot of things today.
"Captain Lu really loves his wife, and he is always willing to buy her good things..."
"Captain Lu even took her out for a ride on his bike. It looks like they have a really good relationship..."
Some people were not used to it and sneered: "What's so good about it? It's just the freshness of a newlywed..."
"Yeah, these rough men are all the same. Even if their wives are as pretty as flowers, they still have to do housework..."
"Captain Lu usually has a face like King Yan. All soldiers are afraid of him. He might even beat his wife behind closed doors..."
