The man was wearing a military uniform, had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. Qin Anning also felt that he looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he asked uncertainly, "Are you Uncle Xing?"
"It's me. You've grown so big in a blink of an eye. You were only this tall when I was transferred." Xing Fengshou gestured with his hands.
He had been transferred away for almost ten years, and he didn't expect to see an old friend again. The child was very pretty when she was young, and her appearance hasn't changed much now.
"Are your parents okay?"
Qin Anning stopped laughing and said, "My father died, and my mother is gone too."
"When did it happen?" Xing Fengshou's smile disappeared.
Although it is normal for them to sacrifice their lives while serving in the army, it is still very painful to hear this news from my old comrade.
Due to job changes and the chaos caused by this movement, they gradually lost contact with many of their comrades.
I always thought there would be a chance to meet again, but I didn't expect that we would be separated forever.
Qin An Ning said lightly, "That happened three years ago." She didn't want to recall those memories.
"Ningning, stay a few more days when you come here. Return to the military area in two days and come to your uncle's house for dinner."
Xing Fengshou changed the subject and didn't ask any more questions.
"Well, I didn't expect to meet Uncle Xing here by chance. I must go see Aunt Xing."
After reminiscing about the past, Xing Fengshou had a conversation with Wang Qiufen and Xue Jing. The main point was that the family members had arrived and the leaders had come to express their condolences.
Maybe it was really because people were in high spirits when something good happened. After staying in the hospital for two days, the doctor announced that Lu Yuan could be discharged and just go back to recuperate.
Xue Jing was still a little worried and asked the doctor if he should stay for two more days. Only then did she know that Lu Yuan had called them after staying in the hospital for five days.
If his leg injury had not healed in a short time and he had not been able to bring them to join the army, he would never have told his family about his injury.
Wang Qiufen was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but seeing his injured leg, she couldn't bear to do so. She turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears.
"Mom, I'm fine now. This little injury on my leg is nothing. I'll be fine after some rest. Don't worry."
In front of Wu Shiyuan, Wang Qiufen couldn't help but give her son face, so she glared at him and said nothing more.
The army sent two vehicles to pick us up. The road from the hospital to the army became more and more desolate, but this was normal.
After inspection and registration at the door, the car drove directly to Lu Yuan's residence.
There was a row of brick houses connected like barracks. Lu Yuan was assigned a two-bedroom, one-living room house due to his rank, the second room on the east side of the second row.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a small living room of about ten meters. On the right is a small room of about fifteen meters. On the left is the master bedroom of about twenty meters. The living room faces the kitchen, and the toilet is a public toilet at the back.
There were only three beds in the two rooms, and the living room and kitchen were empty. There was no time to buy anything.
Lu Yuan had difficulty with his legs, so Xue Jing helped him sit on the bed.
She was quite satisfied with being allocated such a house, but there were a lot of things she needed to buy.
“Where should I buy things?”
Xue Jing planned to take advantage of the fact that Wang Qiufen and Qin Anning were both there so that she could have someone to help take care of the children and tidy up the house.
Otherwise, if they left, she would have to take care of Lu Yuan and the children by herself and would be too busy.
"I've already ordered the tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, and so on. They should be almost done now. I'll have Wu Shiyuan run over and bring them back once they're done.
The remaining pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. can be found in the team's supply and marketing cooperative.
After you leave the residential area, follow the main road straight ahead, turn right at the first intersection, and walk about 30 meters until you see it. Go take a look first, and then go to the city to buy anything you need."
"Okay, I'll go buy everything I need later.
Where's your luggage? Bring it back and make the bed so you can lie down and rest."
She couldn't bring her luggage from home, and she didn't know how many days it would take to mail it over. There was only a straw mat on the bed, and Xue Jing wondered how she would sleep at night.
"The luggage is in the dormitory. Let Xiao Wu go and get it." He had no choice but to order Xiao Wu around.
Wang Qiufen stayed to look after the children, while Xue Jing and Qin Anning went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
The supply of the supply and marketing cooperative is quite comprehensive, including pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, thermos bottles, brooms and so on.
There was a grain store and a vegetable market next door. Xue Jing's formalities for joining the army had not been completed yet, so her and her children's household registration had not been transferred here, and of course, she did not have grain and oil certificates.
Fortunately, there is Lu Yuan's supply, so we can cope with it for the time being.
I bought coarse and fine grains according to the supply in the grain book.
There was a little joke when buying vegetables. Xue Jing asked how much rapeseed cost, and the salesperson didn't know what she was talking about.
Xue Jing had no choice but to show it to her, and then the salesperson told her that it was called "Suzhou Qing."
"It's obviously rapeseed, why is it called Suzhou green?" Xue Jing was still complaining after leaving the vegetable stand.
Qin Anning smiled, "That's why the names are different in the north and south."
She remembered that Hai Shi was also called Shanghai Qing.
Xue Jing made a bitter face, "It seems I really need to adapt for a while."
"It's okay, take your time. Sister-in-law can talk to brother more and ask him about the things going on in the compound, who he can interact with regularly, and what kind of people he should stay away from.
The army is very united, but conflicts of interest are inevitable, such as those who compete with the boss.
After hearing what Qin An Ning said, Xue Jing remembered that Qin An Ning grew up in a military compound and knew everything about the situation there.
"Ningning, tell me first, what should I pay attention to."
Since Qin An Ning wanted to give Xue Jing some advice, there was nothing to hide. She told her some of the experiences she knew and things she needed to pay attention to.
The two chatted all the way back.
One advantage of the house here is that it is connected to tap water, so getting water is not a problem.
