Su Su didn't care too much about it. After all, this second uncle never appeared in the book, so even if he did, it wouldn't mean much.
However, she thought the car was a four-wheeled car, but when it came out, she found out it was a donkey riding upside down.
It was what the masses called a flatbed cart. It was flat with two wooden wheels protruding from it for people to sit on. Then, she got on and sat on each side with Principal Guan, while Principal Guan said to the master who was riding a donkey, "Master, let's go to the family area of East X."
"Okay, you two sit down." The master said in a loud voice and got into the car.
Yes, the rear part is not powered by electricity or gasoline, but by foot.
Su Su quickly grabbed the box where she was sitting, feeling a little nervous.
“Never been there before?”
"Well, no, I've never ridden it before." At least it has bicycle wheels so it's not too bumpy, but it's a little shaky.
"Nowadays, in X City, the only way to go out is by bus or this kind of rickshaw. However, our school's residential area is very close to the school, less than five minutes' walk away, so there is no need for any means of transportation."
Principal Guan was as enthusiastic as before and personally escorted the person to the family area. Not only that, he also greeted the gatekeeper in the courtyard and said, "Old Wang, this is the new teacher Su, a master's student who graduated from a prestigious university. In the future, please take care of her if there is anything. By the way, where is the key to her dormitory?"
“Here it is.”
Old Wang handed over a bunch of keys and said, "Teacher Su is really too young."
Principal Guan was still very enthusiastic. As we walked, he said, "This is the family area of our school. It's all newly built brick houses. Although it's a dormitory, you can bring your family here. It's quite big. This is the one. Come in and take a look. Do you like it?"
It seems that the school attaches great importance to her. Su Su nodded repeatedly and walked in.
It's called a residential area, but in fact it only has two rows of small brick houses, and there's a male and female toilet next to it, with ventilation from front to back, and it looks quite clean. It's dark now, but the city has electricity so it's not too dark.
After opening the door and going in, I found that there were really two very neat small rooms, a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom.
"You have a sewer here, so if you like, you can make a toilet in the washroom. But now many people are afraid that the house will smell, so we didn't install it. Everything in the room is ready for you, and the quilts and other things are all distributed from above. You can pick up the hot pot tomorrow, and if you need water today, you can just use the tap water." Principal Guan explained everything, and then said: "If you work in our school for three years, this house will be yours, and my house is in the backyard, so just come to me if you have any problems."
"Okay, I got it." Su Su thanked him profusely. She didn't expect to receive such a warm reception.
After Principal Guan finished speaking, he left and told her to take a rest tomorrow and report to school the day after tomorrow.
Su Su agreed to go in, and then found that this new dormitory really had a homely feel. The room was warm, probably due to the collective heating. Then there was a table and chairs in the living room, and on the table there was a lamp that looked half-new.
I opened the bedroom and saw a large iron bed from the 1970s and 1980s. A small table was placed on one side, and next to it was a large iron cabinet with four doors, painted dark green.
She placed her backpack on the bed, took out her thermos and other items, then opened the large metal cabinet and found a quilt and pillow in a compartment on one side.
As soon as she opened the shop, someone knocked on the door. It was a woman in her 30s or 40s with short hair. She smiled and said, "Comrade Su, right? I'm Guan Yu's wife, Song Aiying, who manages the school's logistics."
"Hello, please come in, it's cold outside." Su Su quickly made way. You can offend anyone in the school, but you must never offend the logistics staff.
Because, everything we eat, use and live in is in their hands.
After Song Aiying came in, she put down the things in her hands and said, "I'm here to bring you a kettle and a hot water bottle, as well as towels and washbasins that the school distributes to teachers. We blame Lao Guan for being careless. You won't have anything to use today if you pick up these things tomorrow, so I brought them to you."
"Thank you so much, these are what I need." Su Su smiled and picked up the things and put them on the table, then said, "Director Song, right? It's great that you came. I don't know how to light this coal stove." She really had never seen it before. Although it seemed that she had put coal and matches in it, she didn't know how to do it.
Song Aiying immediately said, "This is easy." After she demonstrated it, Su Su saw that it was not difficult and nodded, "Then we should be able to light it tomorrow."
"Actually, our unit hasn't started school yet so we have to do it ourselves. The canteen will be open when school starts after a while, and you can just go to the canteen to eat breakfast and lunch. You are a public school teacher so the food and accommodation are free. Private schools like me only have to pay a little money once a month, but it's not much." Song Aiying seems to be a very honest person and speaks very straightforwardly.
Su Su said, "I know. Thank you, Director Song."
"Then you can heat some water and go to bed. Take a day off tomorrow and buy some daily necessities. I will go back and not disturb you. By the way, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Look at me, I forgot everything. Why don't you come to my house for dinner?"
"No, I ate eggs and cake on the train and I'm not hungry. Besides, if I get hungry, I can still eat boiled eggs. It's okay."
"Okay then." Song Aiying said and left.
Su Su heaved a sigh of relief, and when the coal stove boiled, she washed herself with hot water, and then tidied up the new home a bit before going to bed. Tomorrow, she was going to give Ruchuan a surprise.
However, she needed to buy a lot of things before the surprise, but she was familiar with the place as she had moved around frequently in college.
The next day, she asked the gatekeeper, Lao Wang, about the market, and then bought a lot of household items and brought them back on a flatbed truck.
She didn't even pack up her things at home and just asked the flatbed truck driver where the X military district was and if he could take her there.
The flatbed driver knew the location, but the place was a bit far so he asked for a dollar.
Su Su agreed, of course. She changed into a woolen coat for spring and got on the bus. Of course, she also bought some candies and put them in her bag for later use. After all, she might meet her comrades from Ruchuan there, and these candies would definitely be useful.
To her surprise, after a long bumpy ride she finally arrived at the gate of the military base. As soon as she got off the car, she saw a group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms running towards her.
cough……
They must be going on some mission, as they are all built as if they just crawled out of the mud.
Su Su didn't care and was about to go to the sentry to ask, but she saw that the soldier who was originally running at the front of the team suddenly stopped and faced her.
But there seems to be some uncertainty, so I am hesitating.
Su Su then focused her eyes on him, and unexpectedly recognized him. She was very excited, and waved as she ran, saying, "Lu Chuan."
At this time, the "dirty and dusty" Ruichuan finally confirmed that the familiar girl was his wife.
Someone happened to be behind him and said, "Hey, is that pretty girl calling our battalion commander's name? Did I hear it wrong? How can you recognize her like this?"
Ruichuan elbowed him back and knocked him away, then ran a few steps to meet him.
Su Su was so happy that she hugged Lu Chuan for a moment, but was quickly pushed away by a big hand pressing on her head.
She was short and had short arms, so she wanted to reach out and hug Ruichuan but she couldn't.
To outsiders, it looked like Ruchuan was playing with a kitten at this time, which was very interesting.
"What are you doing?" Su Su took a step back unhappily. Why did she want to give him a surprise, but he gave her a surprise in the end?
"I'm dirty."
After saying this, Ruchuan straightened her up and said, "Why...why are you here?"
"I came to see you. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?" Su Su raised her little face and said with a smile.
He didn't know why, but his heart beat very fast when he saw her happy to see him. He had never thought that he would be so nervous. He didn't even know where to put his hands at this moment, so he could only say, "Come with me first, I'll go wash up and then talk to you."
"Yeah." He really needed to take a shower. I almost couldn't recognize him.
Ruchuan took Susu inside, but the soldiers on the side had no intention of letting him go. One of them asked, "Captain, is this girl your sister?"
"No, what sister? It must be a niece or something like that."
"What's the meaning of niece? This is sister-in-law. I've seen her photo."
"What?"
"Is it my sister-in-law?"
"Yes, yes, tell us, sister-in-law?"
As Lu Chuan led Su Su inside, he said, "Chang Yuejin, take them to run around the troops again, and they are not allowed to come back until it's time for dinner."
"Ah..." a wailing sound.
Su Su said a little embarrassedly: "Is this okay?"
"Nothing, just go to my dormitory and wait." Ruichuan brought the person to his dormitory. However, because he led the person through most of the troops, it didn't take long for almost everyone to know that his wife was here to visit.
Afraid that his wife would dislike him for being dirty, he hurried to the army's bathhouse to take a standing shower, and then ran to the dormitory without even drying his hair. He also asked a soldier to ask for half a day off for him.
When he got into the room, he saw Su Su sitting on his bed and looking around. He was stunned for a long time, and only when she smiled did he close the door and coughed softly, "You, why are you here?"
"Can't I come see you if I miss you?"
"Okay, I'll arrange a room for you right away and then take you out to play."
"Hey, can you please go away?"
"I took half a day off."
Su Su hugged him and said, "Lu Chuan, did you miss me?"
Ruchuan was trying to calm himself down and not panic and scare his wife, but now that there was no one in the room and she hugged him, he couldn't bear it anymore. He hugged Susu in his arms, even lifted her up and leaned against the wall, then kissed her directly. In his heart, he said: I miss her, I miss her so much.
But he didn't have time and was only concerned with tasting his wife's food.
Women are like this, they like to hear men say sweet words, so bad men are their favorites.
Men, on the other hand, want to express their love through their actions, like what Ruichuan is doing now.
However, Su Su, who has read books and knows the temper of the male lead in the Sichuan opera, finally knows a little bit. This is his way of expressing his longing, right? ? ?
A bit intense.
A bit breathless.
A little bit...
She struggled, but couldn't get away no matter how hard she kicked. So she kept kicking with her legs, and finally kicked something important. Ruichuan groaned, but finally let her go. Then he bent his waist, looking very uncomfortable.
"You, are you okay?" Did he hit a vital part? Look at his dark face, sweat on his forehead, I guess he can't use it tonight? It's better not to use it, so he won't have to torture himself.
Su Su appeared to be concerned, but she was actually unhappy in her heart.
"Why do I feel that you seem to be very happy when you kicked me?" Ruichuan still feels very sensitive.
"No, you must feel bad. Are you really okay?"
"It's okay." Of course it's okay. It would be strange if I could let her go since she has come to my doorstep.
Su Su curled her lips and said, "You haven't told me yet, do you miss me? If you don't miss me, then I'll leave."
"I do." Ruchuan's desire to survive was still very strong, so he hugged Su Su and spoke out his true feelings.
Su Su heard what she wanted to hear and smiled and said, "So, what do you want from me?"
"..." He couldn't say this. He thought that she was mostly referring to her performance in bed and the feeling of **.
"Speak up, or I'll..."
"I thought you were in bed..."
With a creak, the door opened.
Both of them were frozen in place, and it was unclear whether the person who came in heard them or not.
The person who came in was also embarrassed. He just came in to get some clothes and left, but ended up hearing these two people talking dirty.
"Sorry to bother you." Chang Yuejin closed the door.
Su Su immediately covered her face and said, "Didn't you say you had your own room?"
"He's here to stay recently." Who would have thought that it was such a coincidence that his wife would come.
"Oh." Su Su was so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head.
"Come on, I'll take you to the guesthouse right away." It was quiet there and no one came to disturb us.
"No need, I have a place to stay. Can you go out and take a look with me?" Su Su looked expectant.
"Sure, wait a moment while I get a car." The battalion was equipped with cars, so they could drive into the city.
Su Su was very happy to hear that there was a car, so she waited here. But since there was a car, it would definitely help her carry a lot of things, because her family was still short of rice, flour, food and oil.
After a while, they went out.
But when he went out, he saw a lot of people watching outside. He couldn't help but stop and yelled, "Are you guys free? Do you want to strengthen your training?"
Boom!
Those who were surrounding him disappeared in an instant.
Su Su was still curious and asked: "Who are you talking to?"
"Don't worry about it, just get in the car first." Ruichuan helped his wife get in the car, then frowned and thought, I really have to teach them a lesson when I get back. He can sense even when I peek, so how can they go deep behind enemy lines like this?
Of course, he didn't have the heart to bother with these soldiers right now. All the way he was wondering if his wife had been wronged at home, otherwise why would she come here alone to find a place to live.
But she said nothing and there was nothing I could do.
I could only ask cautiously: "Is there something wrong at home?"
"Nothing, oh, by the way, your cousin and others will probably be here too. But I think they will go to Qin Yueyue's house first before coming here. However, they probably won't come to see you." At most, they will meet her.
"Yeah." Ruichuan frowned. After arriving in the city, they came to the family area of X Dongda under the command of Susu. However, there was no sign in front of the family area, and he didn't know where it was.
After entering, they saw his wife asked them to park the car on the side of the road, and then opened the door of a small brick house.
"Ding dang dang, our new home, do you like it?" Su Su made way for Lu Chuan, who walked in and found the house was quite new.
He became more and more suspicious, and closed the door and said, "Are the others angry with you?"
"No?" Su Su was speechless. What does this new house have to do with Lu Haiqi herself?
"Did Qin Yueyue offend you in some way?"
“No.”
"That's my uncle's family, or my eldest sister's family?"
"Ah, your elder sister really pissed me off." Su Su just remembered that incident, and angrily told the whole story. When Chuan heard that his elder brother-in-law saw his wife's underwear and said those insulting words, he couldn't help but clench his fist and said, "Next time I go back, I'll teach them a lesson."
"Forget it. My parents are on my side anyway." Su Su was very open-minded and didn't want to think about the past anymore.
"So you came here to rent a house and don't plan to go back in the future?" Ruichuan always felt that his wife came back here because she was wronged, and it turned out to be true.
"No……"
He took off his hat and said, "Why bother hiding from them? And don't worry about what others say. You can wait here for a while. When there's a chance, I'll take a leave and go back with you. I'll punish everyone who dares to say bad things about you. If it doesn't work, I'll do it twice, but within three times, they'll all behave themselves."
"Well, really. Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth." Su Su pushed Lu Chuan down on the chair, and then told him why she was transferred to be a teacher.
Of course, he also introduced his dormitory and said, "This is where I will live from now on. You are welcome to come often."
"Yeah." My wife is amazing. She has become a university teacher.
And we were given such a good dormitory, so I had a place to go on weekends. It was a great place.
"Do you like it?" Su Su could only ask this question since she saw that Lu Chuan still had a stern face and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Is there any work you need done?" Ruichuan was very pragmatic. Since he was here, he helped his wife do some practical work so that she could sleep more comfortably.
He really has the temperament of a supporting male role, he says less but does more, he is not good at sweet talk but only knows how to get things done.
"Well, help me get some coal first, and then buy some things."
"Okay, let's go to the market together. You buy things and I'll carry coal."
"Okay." The couple worked together and it was not tiring. Soon Susu got a lot of things, such as curtains, bed curtains, cups, plates and bowls, and of course rice, flour, grain, oil and a series of other things.
These were not bought casually like in modern times, but had to be bought in barrels.
A barrel of soy sauce, a barrel of vinegar, a barrel of white wine, a barrel of oil, and so on.
Why did she buy wine? Of course, it was for her man. He couldn't drink in the army normally, so he would definitely drink a little when he came to her place during the holidays. She was used to her man, so she must prepare some.
After everything was done, Ruchuan sent the little warrior back and asked him to pick him up tomorrow morning. The little warrior agreed with an ambiguous look on his face, and then went back with the candy given by his sister-in-law.
"Originally, I went to your place to bring a lot of candy to give to the soldiers, but you didn't let me see it."
"If there's a chance, I'll clean up your place today."
Lu Chuan worked fast and knew how to do everything, so Su Su just sat and watched for a while as the place was basically cleaned up. Even the curtains were hung and the front door was swept.
Most importantly, Su Su went into the bedroom, spread out a bed sheet, and then took out the things on her desk that could be used. She even prepared rice. Then, she cooked a braised pork and tofu, and covered the pot to cook it for a while.
No one can match this speed.
Su Su sat down on the chair and said, "I've been exhausted these past two days. If you don't help me with this, I don't know how long I'll be able to do it. I have to report to school tomorrow."
"After dinner, take a rest. I'll bring the coal to the kitchen."
"Ruichuan, I want to install a toilet in the house. I don't want to go out and squeeze with them."
"I'll take care of it." Lu Chuan never said, "Let me think about it," "Let me think about it," but would only say, "Leave it to him." Su Su really loved this, and then she really went to rest after dinner.
There's no way, her physical strength can't keep up.
Maybe the new bed was too comfortable, after all, she bought a thick mattress, which was very soft and fluffy. She fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow, and when she woke up, she found that there was a tinkling sound outside, but it was not loud.
Seeing that her bedroom door was closed, she got out of bed and opened it to see that Ruchuan was busy in the bathroom. However, the door was closed so she couldn't hear too much noise. She curiously opened the door and found that he actually installed a squat toilet inside, and also installed a flush water storage compartment. I don't know why he would do this, it's simply amazing.
Now it has been installed. After he finished putting the cement in place, he turned around and said, "It can only be used tomorrow. Let's use the bucket we bought tonight."
"Well, the toilet isn't too far away anyway." It's just that it's not very convenient to go there at night.
When he was washing his hands, Su Su went up and pulled the flushing rope, which was very useful. He couldn't help but sighed twice: "How do you know all this?"
"When the troops were building the family housing, I saw the workers installing it."
“Just watching it will teach you?”
“It’s not difficult.”
Su Su shook her head and said, "No, no, I'm afraid I will never be able to pretend like this in my lifetime."
"You are already very smart. This is the first time I meet such a young college teacher." Ruichuan was sweating from busy work, so he boiled water and washed in a basin. Seeing his wife staring at him in a daze, he was no longer shy. He took off his vest directly, and without saying a word, he stood there, wiping his hair while showing his wife all over.
Although we were very close before, we usually did it at night. There was no light in my hometown, so even with candles, I couldn't see clearly. But today, I felt like I had a feast for my eyes, and I could see everything clearly.
