"Hey, what's the trouble? It's all part of the job, don't waste your money."
Raising a little tyrant isn't easy, bro, you'd better save your money.
Lu Fan didn't say the last sentence.
The ancestor is peeking around, and it's hard to say whether he understood or not.
He should respect his brother's wife.
But Xie Lin insisted on treating everyone to a meal, as a housewarming party and also as a simple wedding banquet for the young girl.
Although marrying her was not his original intention, he couldn't let her suffer, and he couldn't be stingy with what he deserved.
As for the bride price, forget about money and the "three turns, one sound, and forty-eight legs" (a traditional Chinese wedding gift), she doesn't understand them and has no need for them.
The most important thing is to take her to the city someday and let her pick out things she likes, and to take good care of her in the future.
Lu Fan had no choice but to comply, promising to talk to the cafeteria later.
A housewarming party can be skipped, but a wedding banquet is a must.
Combining two meals saves you a meal, which is also a way to save money.
The furniture is simple: each room has a bed, a wardrobe, a table, and a chair.
The main room has a table and chairs for dining, a wooden sofa, a kitchen cabinet, and a small water tank. That's it.
This is the equipment provided to the military. If you want to add more, you'll have to pay for it yourself.
Lu Fan's eyes twitched when he saw the bed set up in the yard.
"Brother Lin, tonight, sister-in-law, hehe."
Xie Lin slapped him on the back of the head.
"What nonsense are you thinking? She's just a child. Do you think I'm a beast?"
He genuinely had no romantic feelings for Zhou Shi and only treated her like a child.
In that girl's heart, he was at most just a pet owner.
Which pet owner would have such thoughts about their own pet?
Two rooms, one for each person, just right.
With many hands making light work, the house was quickly cleaned up.
Just as they finished tidying up, Zhang Tong came over with a rag and a bucket.
Each courtyard has a small well, which, although it's alkaline water, is better than nothing.
Zhang Tong fetched water and wiped all the furniture dusty, then wiped it again with some fresh water he brought from home.
"Xiao Xie, go and move all the luggage over. Also, bring the little blanket you gave Shishi last night."
"Although the weather is hot, the temperature difference between day and night on the island is large, so you still need to be careful not to catch a cold at night."
"Auntie, no need, I have a blanket in my dorm."
"I'll go to my dorm to move my things first. Could you please watch over Shi for me, Auntie...?"
Huh? Where are they?
Xie Lin's heart pounded whenever the mischievous child was out of sight.
"You're out having fun? Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing."
As Zhang Tong spoke, he went out to find the naughty child. A few seconds later, he ran back in a panic, his voice trembling.
"Xiao Xie, hurry, hurry! Shishi has fallen into the well."
One sentence was enough to scare the people in the room out of their wits.
Xie Lin's heart trembled, and he ran out in three quick steps.
The child was seen hanging upside down in the well, his feet hooked around the edge, shifting his position every now and then.
Xie Lin's face immediately turned pale with fright.
He didn't dare to shout, for fear of scaring the naughty child and causing him to fall, which would be a big problem.
He ran over at lightning speed, grabbed the child by both legs, and pulled him up.
His dark face showed that he was both afraid and angry.
"Shishi, what are you doing? Don't you know you'll drown if you fall into the water?"
"The bucket fell, Shishi needs to pick it up."
Some clueless guy was still struggling to get down and retrieve the bucket.
Lu Fan peered into the well and, sure enough, saw the bucket floating on the water.
He looked around, found a long stick, reached down, hooked the rope holding the bucket up, and then pulled the bucket up.
This little devil has an endless stream of terrifying skills; he's truly terrified.
Instead of using a long stick, he insists on making himself the stick.
"Brother Lin, I'll go get a manhole cover and a lock so we can lock the manhole when we're not using water."
There are many wells in the residential compound, and almost every household has children.
For the safety of the children, the military logistics department provides manhole covers; they can be obtained simply by applying.
Xie Lin hummed in agreement and held the child's wrist tightly.
Just now, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, cold and bone-chilling.
The August weather sent a chill down my spine.
He dared not imagine what he would do if the girl really fell into the well; he feared he would go mad.
We brought her back so that she could have a good life, not so that she could go to her grave.
It seems he can't relax during this period.
We need to teach and improve children's safety awareness as quickly and effectively as possible.
"Lu Fan, when you get the manhole cover, please also get me a bucket for filling it with water."
"I also need a bathtub and a washbasin, two straw mats, and two small stools. I'll pay you back later."
When he was alone, he used the bucket for multiple purposes: he could use it for bathing and washing clothes, but he didn't need a basin to wash his face.
Now that there's one more person, there are some things we can't skip.
The logistics department has all of these wooden products.
The troops were self-sufficient, not only clearing land to grow vegetables, but also raising their own pigs.
Due to soil conditions, there aren't many types of vegetables that can be grown, but it's better than nothing.
To make things easier for the family members, two carpenters were specially trained.
Going up the mountain to cut down trees and then making them yourself doesn't cost any money; paying money is just a matter of labor.
After Lu Fan wrote everything down, he stepped out of the courtyard.
This concerns my sister-in-law's life and safety; there is no time to lose.
The corpse was unaware that it was supposed to sit on a small stool like a primary school student, and when it saw the bucket being fished out, it wanted to go play again.
The sound of the bucket hitting the water with a "plop" was very pleasant to her.
I really like it.
She didn't hold the rope properly just now; she'll definitely hold it firmly this time.
Xie Lin, however, gave her no more chances. With a dark face, he said in a deep voice, "If Shishi dares to play in the water again, I won't catch Feifei."
He got angry, threw the person down, and walked out.
You brat, if you're so capable, just drive him crazy, that would be the easiest way.
Shishi looked at the bucket, then at the tall figure, and finally chose Feifei.
She ran over quickly, grabbed Xie Lin's clothes, and followed him back to the dormitory.
Zhang Tong's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally calmed down.
She shook her head with amusement and went home to pack the kids' luggage.
When Xie Lin returned carrying the luggage, she had already put Zhou Shi's clothes into the closet.
"Xiao Xie, this cabinet has two rows. You can use one row and Shi Shi can use the other. I've sorted and folded Shi Shi's clothes into the cabinet."
"I've put all of Shishi's comb, mirror, face cream, and other small items and snacks into the drawer of the table."
"Xiao Lu brought the mat back, and I cleaned it and laid it out."
"The other mat has also been wiped clean and is in the cabinet in that room. It's rolled up and not unfolded. You can take it out when you need it."
Zhang Tong explained to Xie Lin the correct place to put the items one by one.
Xie Lin thanked him and awkwardly put his clothes into another row of the closet.
He wanted to sleep in a separate room from that brat, but if things continue like this, won't the two of them end up sharing a bed?
Never mind, it's not good to tell anyone.
After my aunt leaves, I'll move my things to another room.
Unbeknownst to him, while he was packing his clothes, Zhang Tong was whispering something to Zhou Shi.
The latter seemed to understand, sometimes nodding, sometimes looking bewildered, and sometimes chuckling foolishly.
