Chapter 178: Arrival at the Family Quarters



Lu Changhai drove here in a military jeep.

Qin Sheng put the bags of luggage in the back of the car, sat in the passenger seat, and took the baby from Lu Changhai's arms.

Normally, children shouldn't sit in the passenger seat.

But these days, four-wheeled cars are a rarity.

There aren't many decent concrete roads in the country, let alone any traffic laws.

But Brother Qin was like this all the way, keeping a certain distance from her.

Although Xu Jiaojiao was not so conservative, she was still grateful for his sense of propriety.

The train station they arrived at was not in the capital of Yunnan Province, but in a small city near the border.

It is about fifty miles away from the troops.

As usual, there are various mountain roads along the way.

The mountain roads here are much more dangerous than those of the Red Flag Brigade.

Xu Jiaojiao finally understood what it meant to have a winding mountain road.

Fortunately, the little soldier didn't drive too fast and drove smoothly along the way.

However, the driving speed was much slower, and it took almost three hours to reach the military family compound.

Lu Changhai first took the person to register, and then sent him to the small courtyard chosen by Qin Shuo.

The family compound is also located in the mountains.

The houses are arranged in a stepped and orderly manner, but they are sparse after all.

There are one here and one there.

Their house was located relatively close to the edge, so they didn't run into other family members along the way and went straight to the yard.

Not far from their house was another identical small courtyard.

"That's Captain Qi's house. Captain Qi's wife is a teacher named Gao Aifang."

Seeing that she was curious, Lu Changhai quickly introduced it to her.

Xu Jiaojiao was naturally very grateful.

Because Qin Shuo entrusted him, Lu Changhai had the key on him.

He took out the key and handed it directly to Xu Jiaojiao.

"Captain Qin asked me to give this to you."

"Thank you so much for your help." Xu Jiaojiao said politely again before taking the key.

After opening the door, the scene that came into view made everyone's eyes widen.

It turned out that the small courtyard had been renovated by Qin Shuo.

The yard here is not big, but it has been arranged in an orderly manner.

Qin Shuo not only planted flowers in it, but also vegetables and fruit trees.

The road in the middle is paved with stone slabs, which is beautiful and does not worry about getting your feet dirty on rainy days.

There are several tiled houses in the courtyard.

At first glance, there is a kitchen, toilet and shower room.

Just with a quick glance like this, you can tell how much the man cares.

Lu Changhai was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

He had been to more than one or two family compound, but he had never seen anyone who was so attentive and built the compound so well.

Who spread the rumor?

Battalion Commander Shuo Qin dislikes his own wife?

It seems that he spoils his wife to death.

His wife has never shown her face in the army, probably because she is too beautiful.

After entering the house, Xu Jiaojiao was even more moved.

The room was decorated according to her preferences, simple yet elegant.

It has a quaint minimalist beauty.

Although there are not many decorations, they are all just right.

It doesn't seem crowded, nor does it seem empty.

What’s rare is that there is a baby crib that is divided into two sides of the room.

It's obviously prepared for two little ones.

The wood retains its original color but is polished to a very smooth finish.

There is no need to worry about any strange smell that may harm the baby.

Lu Changhai did not enter the room. After helping to move the luggage, he was ready to leave.

But how could Xu Jiaojiao let him return empty-handed?

He took out his bag and took out something wrapped in an oil paper bag.

"I made some dried fish at home. You can try it."

As he said this, he handed over the dried fish in his hand.

"No, that's not necessary, sister-in-law. You can save it for Captain Qin."

Even if it was just a small dried fish, it was still a precious thing. Why would Lu Changhai want it?

Xu Jiaojiao didn't care and directly used the special skills she learned in the Red Flag Brigade.

So he gave the dried fish away.

Even when he took the dried fish out, Lu Changhai still looked a little confused.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that this sister-in-law is young. She is really good at what she does.

Smelling the tempting aroma emanating from the oil paper bag, Lu Changhai hesitated for a moment, then opened it, took out one and put it in his mouth.

The dried fish tastes spicy, salty and chewy, and the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes.

Lu Changhai never thought that the smelly dried fish could be cooked so deliciously.

This means something absolutely amazing! It's so addictive, I can't stop watching it.

Qin Shuo didn't come back, and Qin Sheng didn't plan to stay any longer.

His family is still waiting for him to go to the fields and earn work points.

Besides, the second and third brothers have made great achievements, so as the eldest brother, I can’t be too bad.

Qin Sheng planned to pick up the carpentry work he had learned and help people make furniture when he had time.

When he left the train station, he had already bought a return ticket for this afternoon.

Xu Jiaojiao couldn't persuade him, so she had to prepare some food for him to take on the road.

It was still Lu Changhai who saw me off when I left.

Only after Qin Sheng left did Xu Jiaojiao return to the courtyard.

The two babies in the room were playing by themselves, and with Fu Fu helping to watch over them, Xu Jiaojiao was not too worried.

Just prepare to boil some water for a bath.

It was already six or seven in the afternoon, and the sky looked gray.

Xu Jiaojiao took a look at the water tank and found a bamboo tube on it.

And the water flows out of the bamboo tube.

It looks like it is spring water from the mountain.

This would be very convenient and you don’t have to fetch water every day.

I fetched a bucket of water and carried it to the kitchen.

I looked around and found that everything in the kitchen was new.

The stove looked like it had never been used, so the man probably didn't usually cook here.

Even the pot is new.

By the time Xu Jiaojiao washed and scrubbed, it was almost dark.

I poured water into the pot and just started the fire when I heard a baby crying from inside the house.

Xu Jiaojiao quickly added two pieces of firewood into the stove, then washed her hands and walked into the house.

“Woooooooo…”

“Wow…”

Before I entered, I heard two loud cries coming from inside.

As soon as you hear the sound, you know they are very hungry.

"Mom is here."

Xu Jiaojiao walked quickly to the crib, picked up the impatient Erbao, lifted up his clothes and started feeding him.

I don’t know if it was because he was too hungry, but my brother Dabao, who usually doesn’t cry much, started crying loudly.

Looking at the little guy crying heartbreakingly in the crib, Xu Jiaojiao felt distressed and guilty.

Even with Fu Fu's help, there will always be times when she can't handle things on her own.

Just like now, if you take care of the small things, you can't take care of the big things.

Looking at the little guy in the bed, Xu Jiaojiao felt extremely helpless.

Seeing that she was feeling upset, Fu Fu became extremely anxious.

But she had no physical body and couldn't help much, so she could only worry.

"Which little kid is crying? I heard it when I was passing by outside."

Suddenly, a cheerful female voice came from outside the yard.
