Chapter 234: Not Locking the Door, Too Unsafe
Gu Xinli snorted indifferently, "It wasn't me who burned the quilt, what's the point of blaming me? If you have the guts, go cry in front of the political commissar. I heard that a senior leader is coming to the army today. If you cry there, you might get a new quilt to sleep in tonight."
It is impossible to ask for alms from Gu Xiaoxi!
Old Mrs. Yin really listened to the advice and ran to the army in the dark with her two grandsons to cry.
You know what, it’s good to cry. Although it made Yin Chunsheng lose face, he got back two new quilts.
Before leaving, the old lady maliciously said bad things about Lu Jiansen and Gu Xiaoxi in front of the leader, saying that she had several extra quilts at home but refused to lend them.
…
The next day.
When Gu Xiaoxi woke up, she found herself lying in Lu Jiansen's arms.
She touched her face, feeling a little confused.
When did Lu Jiansen come back?
She took a bath in the jacuzzi last night, but ended up not sleeping in the room. She was afraid that Lu Jiansen would come back in the middle of the night, so she didn't even lock the door.
"Wife! It's still early, don't you want to sleep for a while?" Before Lu Jiansen closed his eyes, his big hands had already held her in his arms.
Gu Xiaoxi poked his chest with her fingertips and asked, "What time did you come back?"
"I came back this morning, so I didn't go to the army in the morning." Lu Jiansen kissed her cheek, pressed the little girl who wanted to get up into the quilt, and continued to sleep.
Gu Xiaoxi yawned slightly and closed his eyes again.
After five minutes of silence, she whispered, "I want to get up, you can sleep alone!"
Lu Jiansen gently stroked her back, his tone gentle and coaxing, "Be good, sleep a little longer!"
Gu Xiaoxi felt helpless and had to retreat back into his arms.
"Wife, did Deputy Commander Yin's family come to you for trouble last night?" Lu Jiansen gently stroked the girl's soft long hair.
Gu Xiaoxi rubbed his eyes and said, "No! Yesterday, Deputy Commander Yin's mother seemed to have burned the quilt at home and was crying outside. I didn't go out to see. Sister Guifen said that she cried for the leaders to hear. You also know about this, right?"
"Yes. The old lady even cried in front of Chief of Staff Zhang, saying that we had quilts at home but we didn't lend them."
"What?"
Gu Xiaoxi exclaimed in surprise and sat up immediately.
Lu Jiansen patted her on the back and soothed her, "It's okay. Political Commissar Luo quickly figured out the situation, and Yin Chunsheng was criticized by the leaders."
Gu Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good! This is simply a disaster from heaven! That family is so shameless."
Even though she wouldn't give it to them if they came to borrow it, it would be really fucked up if she made up a lie for no reason!
"Wife, from now on, if I don't come back after 10 o'clock in the evening, you should lock the door. If I come back late, you can sleep in the next room." Lu Jiansen reminded.
It’s so unsafe to not lock the door when my wife goes to sleep!
"Oh! Got it! I'll know next time." Gu Xiaoxi responded obediently.
"Last night the army distributed some winter military supplies. I was given a set of cotton-padded jacket and trousers, as well as a pair of cotton-padded shoes. I have changed the shoes to your size. Go try them on later to see if they fit your feet."
Gu Xiaoxi was touched but helpless. "Why are you giving it to me again? I already have a lot of clothes and shoes. You should change it into something you can wear!"
Lu Jiansen smiled and kissed her cheek. "You don't have many shoes, just two pairs. In fact, you have other supplies, such as a kettle, a backpack, a thermos, a quilt, etc. I still think shoes suit you best."
When Gu Xiaoxi heard this, he immediately thought of something, "So Yin Chunsheng chose a quilt, right?"
"Yes. There were very few quilts available. Originally, priority was given to officers above the company level who were getting married at the end of the year or the beginning of the new year. But Yin Chunsheng's mother cried bitterly with her two children, so Staff Officer Zhang approved a new quilt for him, and then asked for another quota from someone else, so he got two new quilts."
"It's a good deal for them!" Gu Xiaoxi snorted.
Lu Jiansen touched her head and changed the subject. "This year, the troops have arranged to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner together. If the family members are willing, they can also go together. Each family only needs to bring two dishes."
Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment. "Are you all going to the army to celebrate the New Year? With so many people, can your army cafeteria accommodate them all?"
"There's not enough space in the cafeteria, so we'll set up tents on the playground. Group 1 and Group 2 will be separated, and the New Year's Eve dinner will be held there. There will also be a group wedding. I'll be there to watch over the day, so there may be a lot of chores to do."
But during the New Year, he wanted to spend more time with his little girl.
Therefore, the best outcome was that the whole family went to the army to have the New Year's Eve dinner.
Gu Xiaoxi had never spent the New Year in the army before, so he was quite looking forward to it and nodded.
"Then we can bring a few more dishes. Grandpa and my parents will definitely like to celebrate the New Year in the army. There will be a lot of people, and the atmosphere will be good."
When Lu Jiansen saw that his little girl agreed, he felt a little warmer in his heart.
This Spring Festival, he is no longer alone!
The two talked for a while, and Lu Jiansen suddenly thought of something. He immediately took out the little bee space logistics box and opened its space box door.
For a moment, the space of the room overlapped with the space of the logistics box.
"Wife, there are a lot of old stuff in here, please collect them."
Gu Xiaoxi glanced to the side and his eyes widened.
"When did you collect so many old things?"
"I collected some of them when I was in Sanjiao Town. I collected some more after I came back."
Gu Xiaoxi took a quick look, then waved his hand and put all the miscellaneous items into the second-hand grocery store.
Then she looked at the new product showroom and picked things selectively, changing the materials that needed to be converted, setting the specifications that needed to be set, and adjusting the colors that needed to be adjusted.
After finishing, she curled back into the quilt and talked to Lu Jiansen.
"We still have four bicycles at home, so we can sell the two I put outside!"
"Then I'll take it this afternoon. It just so happens that a few people in our group are getting married and are buying bicycle tickets."
"Well. Then I'll sell it for fifty, no receipt required. I sold it to Sister Fengxia and Sister Guifen for fifty today. Snow bikes with wide tires are more suitable for mountains and thin ice and snow..."
"Then the price has to be raised. It can't be the same as that of my two sisters-in-law!" Lu Jiansen stroked the little girl's back gently, trying to coax her to sleep with him.
Gu Xiaoxi found it quite pleasant to talk and chat like this, and she was also bewitched by Lu Jiansen's gentle voice, so she didn't think about getting up again.
At first, she spoke more, and then Lu Jiansen spoke more.
After that, Gu Xiaoxi fell asleep again without realizing it.
The two of them slept in each other's arms until noon.
Lu Jiansen knew that he had caused the little girl to miss breakfast, so he immediately went to the kitchen to cook.
Gu Xiaoxi followed after washing up, and then brought out all the meals he had cooked in the companion space yesterday.
Even though the table was full of food, she did not stop Lu Jiansen from cooking. Instead, she moved out an empty five-layer shelf from the new product showroom and placed the food in layers.
After the food was served, she also divided her own portion of egg cake and peach pastry into small portions and placed them neatly on the table.
Lu Jiansen glanced sideways and realized that the little girl had been busy cooking the whole day yesterday.
