After Duan Xichuan drove to the county town, he took Shen Xiaobei around the county town to familiarize her with the environment.
On a long street in the south of the county town, many people come to the market every Saturday morning. It should be the busiest time of the week in the county town.
But today is not Saturday, and Shen Xiaobei did not see such a scene.
What she saw was just a small town that was not prosperous or noisy enough.
After walking around the city, the two bought a lot of supplies together.
There was a spittoon specially for Shen Xiaobei to use at night, a set of kitchen utensils, several packets of vegetable seeds, a lot of food, and some cloth and other daily necessities.
A kitchen, they don't have one yet.
However, Duan Xichuan knew that Shen Xiaobei was a good cook, and she wanted to have a kitchen of their own so that it would be convenient for them to cook something, so he planned to build one next to someone else's house in the afternoon.
After the purchase, the two did not stay in the county town for long and drove back to the compound.
In the morning, apart from the guards and soldiers working in the logistics department, no other officers were seen in the compound.
Duan Xichuan said that these officers living in the compound go out early and come back late. When the wake-up call sounds in the morning, everyone gets up immediately and then takes a bus to the army. They eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in the army.
Of course, I would come back occasionally to have dinner with my family.
The troops are more than ten kilometers away from the military compound. Moreover, they do not stay in the army all day long. From time to time, they need to go to several surrounding provinces to perform tasks, or go to other more distant places to perform some special tasks.
Therefore, I can’t go back to the compound every day.
Hearing him say this, Shen Xiaobei immediately asked nervously: "Then you can't come back to live every day in the future?"
"Well, yes. But girl, I promise you, unless there are special circumstances and I really can't come back, I will come back to accompany you at night."
"oh!"
"Why, girl, are you a little unhappy?"
Seeing Shen Xiaobei pouting and looking listless, Duan Xichuan held one of her hands and asked with a smile.
"I'm not unhappy, I just think you soldiers are working so hard!"
"Silly girl, this isn't hard work. For a man to defend his country is a glorious mission and responsibility. But you, giving up your propaganda work in the commune and following me to this remote place, will have to live your life accommodating me from now on. I'm sorry, little girl."
"How can I feel wronged? I feel so happy following you!"
"Girl, is this what you really mean?"
"Of course, it couldn't be more true! I know you're worried about me. If I see you sometimes not coming home at night, you're afraid I'll overthink it, feel lonely, and be unhappy, right?"
"Don't worry, I, your wife, know how to enrich my life. No matter how often you come back, I can live a fulfilling and happy life on my own. I will never let you worry!"
"Girl, hearing you say that, I don't know whether I should feel happy or disappointed."
"Hahaha, you actually have moments of anxiety and worry! This really opens my eyes, and it feels so good!"
"You little bitch, you're the only one in this world who can make a soldier like me so anxious. You should really feel good about it."
"Well, of course!"
Shen Xiaobei replied a little arrogantly.
She was actually feeling a little disappointed when she heard Duan Xichuan say that he might not be able to come back at night someday.
After all, she hasn't adapted to the environment here yet and still needs to rely on Duan Xichuan.
However, when she heard that Duan Xichuan, who was always emotionally stable, would actually feel anxious about her.
Shen Xiaobei suddenly felt much more balanced and not so lost.
I think this is pretty good. Occasionally worrying about each other's gains and losses is a sweet and sour experience, and a spice of ordinary life.
After flirting gently for a while, the two got out of the car and prepared to move the things they bought back to the room together.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Duan, Xiaobei, you bought so many things? Let me help you move them!"
"No need, Sister Junxia, we can just move it ourselves!"
"It's okay, I'm free anyway, I'll help you move some!"
"Haha, that's fine. I'll trouble Sister Junxia then. Just help me get these fabrics."
"Oh, okay!"
When Duan Xichuan and Shen Xiaobei were moving things from the car, they met Rao Junxia and her two daughters playing in the yard.
Rao Junxia was very enthusiastic and came over to help them move their things.
Shen Xiaobei refused for a while, but when he saw that he couldn't refuse, he didn't insist anymore and asked her to help move two pieces of cloth.
Rao Junxia walked with Shen Xiaobei holding the cloth, and couldn't help but ask her curiously: "Xiaobei, you bought so much cloth, are you planning to make clothes?"
"Yes, I want to, but I haven't bought a sewing machine yet, so I can't do it. I want to use these fabrics to make a cloth wardrobe first."
"Making a cloth wardrobe? You can make a cloth wardrobe?"
"Haha, I've never made one before, so I wanted to try making one. It would be more convenient to hang up Xichuan's military uniform. It would be easy to find and it wouldn't get wrinkled."
"Xiaobei, you are really clever and skillful!"
"I've never thought of making this. My family's clothes, both adults and children, are all haphazardly placed in boxes. Sometimes it's really troublesome to find them because it's easy to mess up the clothes in the boxes. When you finish making the cloth wardrobe, I'll see if it's useful. Then I'll make one for myself!"
