Volume 1 Chapter 149 On the Train
Sheng Wanyan was overjoyed when she heard this.
After all, which woman wouldn’t be happy when being exaggerated to look younger?
There is none at all!
"Auntie, you are really good at talking."
Sheng Wanyan was very happy chatting with her. The young girl felt very depressed when she saw her mother chatting so happily with her love rival.
What's wrong with my mother?
How could her daughter feel embarrassed when she saw him chatting so happily with his love rival?
But I couldn't change anything, so I could only lie on the bed angrily, covering my head with the quilt to stop myself from listening.
When Gu Tingxiao came back with the hot water, the old lady felt embarrassed to bother him all the time.
"Soldier, let's take turns fetching water from now on, right?"
After all, this water is for everyone to drink. They can't just rely on Gu Tingxiao's status as a soldier and ask him to finish all the work, right?
Gu Tingxiao nodded. If he usually took the train alone, it would be fine for him to help out.
But you have to queue up to get water on the train, and it takes more than half an hour each time.
He was really worried about leaving the little girl alone in the box often.
The two parties agreed that one party would help look after the luggage while the other party went to get water.
However, Gu Tingxiao had no intention of taking Sheng Wanyan to get water as there were so many people outside and the smell was strong.
The little girl won't go either.
Sheng Wanyan: “…”
You really understand me.
A few hours later, it was dinner time. They took out the meat dishes prepared by Gu's mother and ate them first.
"Wife, eat something."
Gu's mother specially prepared the ribs that she loved to eat, and Gu Tingxiao picked out some meat that was not very fatty for her.
The white rice and a lunch box full of meat almost made the mother and daughter opposite drool.
This food is so good...
A whole lunch box of meat for two people is really a luxury!
The mother and daughter across the street were eating dry food and smelling the meat.
What a sin...
Sheng Wanyan finished eating the dishes he picked out and was full, and the rest was left to Gu Tingxiao.
Gu Tingxiao handed her some warm water. Sheng Wanyan took a few sips to get rid of the meat taste in her mouth.
After Gu Tingxiao finished eating, he took the lunch box to wash it, and Sheng Wanyan also had to go.
"I need to go to the bathroom."
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingxiao took out the shoes from under the bed. Sheng Wanyan put them on, took her backpack, and followed him out.
As for her suitcase, it was locked and only contained clothes. She had already secretly transferred the more valuable items into the space.
He carried the backpack with him, just to show it to Gu Tingxiao.
It was not her first time taking a train, but every time she went to the toilet on the train, she couldn't help feeling nauseous.
As soon as you enter the toilet, immediately enter the space.
She couldn't stand the toilets of this era, and when she joined the army, she didn't know if there would be a separate bathroom.
Many toilets are shared, and the pits are very high. When you look down, you can see...
The place where you squat is just two wooden boards, and it seems like you could fall down at any time.
Sheng Wanyan couldn't stand it. If the family compound didn't have an independent toilet, then she could only go into the space and solve the problem when Gu Tingxiao was not at home.
Sheng Wanyan suddenly thought that she didn’t know what the allocated house would look like.
You can ask Gu Tingxiao later.
When Sheng Wanyan finished her work and went out, she saw Gu Tingxiao standing at the door, waiting for her motionlessly.
This person doesn't stink...
"What kind of house are we allocated?"
On the way back to the box, Sheng Wanyan couldn't help but ask Gu Tingxiao.
Gu Tingxiao had already applied for it before he came back to get married, and he cleaned it together with Sheng Wanze and several comrades.
But... there was one thing he didn't tell Sheng Wanyan.
"Wife, do you want to live in a tube building?"
Sheng Wanyan really didn't expect him to ask this question. According to Gu Tingxiao's position, he could be assigned a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in a tube-shaped building.
Tube-shaped buildings are popular nowadays, and are considered to be high-end and novel, while no one likes small courtyards.
But she... prefers a small yard, which is big enough and has fewer neighbors.
Even if you don't do anything, people will still stare at you and make you the topic of conversation after dinner.
"What were you assigned?"
Gu Tingxiao's eyes were a little vague, and he spoke hesitantly.
"Wife, we could have been assigned a three-bedroom apartment in a tube building."
"But... there are no more houses in the tube building, so I was only allocated a small courtyard."
Sheng Wanyan raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Isn't this God helping me?
She was afraid of being assigned to an apartment building. If she suggested not living in the apartment building but in a small courtyard, others would think she was crazy.
Now I have achieved what I wanted and I don’t have to think about changing houses.
"How big is the small yard?"
"There is a front yard and a back yard, three rooms, a toilet and a kitchen."
"The backyard is quite big, not many people live there, and the army has allocated a piece of land to each household for growing vegetables."
Sheng Wanyan nodded when she heard this. It would be nice to have a small yard, which she could use to grow vegetables when she was bored.
There are so many seeds in my own space, I can just take them out and use them to have a bright future.
"A small yard is great, it's a big space."
Gu Tingxiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Sheng Wanyan really liked him.
"I'll apply next time there's a house available in the building."
Sheng Wanyan shook her head. She didn't want Gu Tingxiao to apply for an apartment, and moving was a very troublesome thing.
"The small yard has a lot of space, so we can take our time to do it, and moving is not a big deal."
She has already thought about her retirement life. She will plant some sunflowers, get two lounge chairs, and rest in the yard while drinking tea.
If she were suddenly moved to a tube-shaped building, she would rather die than do it.
When Gu Tingxiao heard that she gave up the tube-shaped building for him, he felt very guilty.
Looking at her eyes, they are so gentle that water can drip out of them.
He will definitely let his wife live in the best house in the future, she deserves the best.
"good."
Gu Tingxiao's heart softened. The girl was so considerate. He must have done a lot of good things in his previous life to marry such a good wife.
Sheng Wanyan got goosebumps when she saw his gentle eyes.
There is no need to do this...
Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao returned to the carriage. The young woman on the upper bunk opposite saw them come back, especially when she saw Gu Tingxiao, her eyes lit up.
But then the soldier was seen taking out a towel from his backpack and washing it with hot water.
Then he helped the woman opposite him wipe her hands and feet and tidied up the corner of Sheng Wanyan's quilt.
He watched her rest and fall asleep, then he lay down on his own bed.
Seeing Gu Tingxiao, a grown man, being so caring and humble to his wife, he felt even more uncomfortable.
A woman actually let the soldiers who were defending the country serve her and wipe her hands and face.
How could she have the dignity to enjoy the soldiers' care?
I feel so angry, but I can't do anything about it to others.
They are husband and wife, in a legal relationship, so what is her position?
