Chapter 46 Arrival at the Military Area
"Thank you, I've been craving this for a long time. Mm, it's authentic."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade the leader, Xiao Li could only watch helplessly as the leader ate something of unknown origin.
"Where are you going?"
Gu Zheng looked at the thick calluses on the palm of the hand of the person opposite him and roughly knew that the other person might be from the same system as him and hold a relatively high position.
The old man wore casual clothes on this trip and only brought a guard with him. He probably didn't want to reveal his identity in public.
Gu Zheng did not expose the truth and simply treated the other person as an ordinary person.
Obviously, Lin Yunxi thought so too. She smiled and said that she followed her husband to Province Z to join the army.
"What a coincidence, we are also going to Province Z."
Jiang Kangping spent the first half of his life in military camps and on the battlefield, but later due to health reasons he retired to the front line and moved to the administrative system.
So he had a good impression of Gu Zheng's family: "Yes, the hope for the future lies in your generation of young people."
Since knowing that Gu Zheng was an active-duty soldier, the guard named Xiao Li took good care of them along the way.
On the other side, after seeing off their son, daughter-in-law and grandson, Mr. and Mrs. Gu came to the courtyard.
Whether it is the yard or the main room, the furnishings are all the same as before, and it doesn't look like the house has been moved.
There were two large bags of rice and flour in the kitchen, various seasoning jars were full, and piles of firewood were neatly stacked behind the stove.
"Old woman, come and see." Father Gu stood at the door of the west wing, waving and shouting.
"You are old, why are you making such a fuss?"
Although Mother Gu complained, she still walked towards that direction and was stunned when she looked up.
In a spacious bedroom, there is a 1.5-meter-long bed in the middle. This bed is different from the usual beds you see.
The height is specially lowered so that people of their age can easily get in and out of bed without any effort at all.
Both the bedding and quilt on the bed are newly made, stuffed with new cotton, and feel soft and warm to the touch.
There were two bedside tables on each side of the bed, with two enamel cups and a brand new thermos on the tables.
From now on, you don’t have to get up and go to the kitchen to drink ice water when you are thirsty at night.
Against the wall was a brown-red wooden wardrobe, filled with two quilts, one thin and one thick.
In addition, there are four sets of clothes, two for men and two for women.
The man wore a Zhongshan suit and an army green cotton coat, and the woman wore a dark blue woolen coat and a plaid sweater.
Gu's father and mother fell in love with the clothes at first sight. They never thought that they would be able to wear such decent clothes in their lifetime.
In addition, large dark blue curtains are hung in front of the windows, which provide very good light blocking. I no longer have to worry about being unable to sleep in the morning due to bright light.
Finally, both the table and the bed legs are wrapped with cotton cloth to prevent bumps and scratches, and the thoughtfulness of the person who decorated the place is revealed everywhere.
Mother Gu could already imagine how comfortable she and the old man would live in this bedroom.
There was a letter on the bedside table. Mother Gu opened the envelope and found it was written by Lin Yunxi.
The letter advised them to stay there peacefully and to eat the food and meat in the storage room as soon as possible and not let them go bad.
In the drawer of the bedside table are moisturizing cream and soothing incense for my mother-in-law, as well as tobacco leaves and rheumatism ointment for my father-in-law.
In the letter, Lin Yunxi specifically told the two not to be reluctant to use it, and that he would send it back home after he arrived there.
Finally, he put 150 yuan under the pillow so that the two could buy whatever they wanted to eat and not treat themselves badly.
“How can Yunxi be so considerate?” Mother Gu said with tears in her eyes, choking.
Father Gu nodded in agreement and immediately decided, "Move, move today. We can't let the children down."
Of course, the first and third wives were also happy after their parents-in-law moved in.
The empty room can be used to accommodate several children, making the house much more spacious.
After sitting on the train for two days, Yanyan had lost her initial excitement and lay listlessly in her mother's arms.
After the train arrived at the station, Lin Yunxi held her son's hand and said, "See you, Grandpa."
Yanyan waved her little hand obediently: "Grandpa Jiang, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Xiao Yanyan."
Gu Zheng held his fat son in one hand and picked up the package in the other. Lin Yunxi followed behind him, and the two of them followed the crowd out of the station.
Before coming, Gu Zheng called his subordinates and asked them to drive over to pick him up today.
On the other side, Liu Bo was staring at the exit.
The moment he saw Gu Zheng, he waved and shouted, "Captain, Captain, this way."
"Hello, Battalion Commander." Liu Bo stood up straight, saluted, and took the luggage.
The military camp was full of men. When he looked at his sister-in-law, who was as beautiful as a fairy and smiling sweetly, he suddenly didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
After hesitating for a while, Liu Bo said dryly: "Hello, sister-in-law. I am the orderly under Captain Gu. My name is Liu Bo."
In his heart, he admired his battalion commander very much. Looking at the entire military region, only their battalion commander could control such a beautiful wife.
The baby is also very cute, chubby, with delicate features, and looks like he was carved from the same mold as the battalion commander.
Lin Yunxi greeted with a smile: "Hello, Comrade Xiao Liu, thank you for your hard work today."
"It's not hard. It's my honor to come and pick up my sister-in-law."
Liu Bo was driving a military jeep, Gu Zheng was sitting in the passenger seat, and Lin Yunxi was sitting in the back seat holding Yanyan.
The car slowly drove out of the station and headed towards the military area.
Just as Gu Zheng said, the location of the military area was very remote. It took nearly an hour and a half to drive into the military area.
The car stopped at the gate of a secluded courtyard, and Xiao Liu helped carry the luggage into the house.
"Captain, sister-in-law, I'm going back to training."
"Xiao Liu, thank you for today. Come to my house for dinner tonight." Lin Yunxi invited.
Liu Bo was indeed a little tempted, and he looked at the battalion commander with some uncertainty.
Gu Zheng kicked him jokingly: "You are a grown man, why are you dithering? Listen to your sister-in-law and come over for dinner tonight. This is an order!"
"Yes, Captain."
After everyone left, Gu Zheng took his wife's hand and walked into the yard.
Lin Yunxi walked in and took a rough look around. The layout of the yard was similar to the house in his hometown, but the area was at least twice as large.
But facing the gate is a two-story building.
"Are we in the right place?" Lin Yunxi was a little surprised. With Gu Zheng's current position, he probably couldn't afford to live in such a house.
"You're right, this is our home."
It turned out that when the houses were distributed, because the original owner was unwilling to come with the army, Gu Zheng gave his place to someone else.
As a result, when it came to the last batch, there were not enough houses, so Commander Zhou decided to temporarily allocate this small building to him to live in.
