"Comrade Xiao Yi, thank you for your hard work. It's so late, and I'm bothering you to help lead the way and carry the luggage."
"This yard is very nice, there is nothing I am dissatisfied with."
Lu Zhengxiang was very approachable in front of the young soldiers and did not have the airs of a leader at all, which made Yi Xiaobo a little flattered.
"Captain Lu, you are so polite. This is my duty. It's a little late, so I won't disturb you, your sister-in-law, and the children to clean up the house. Go to bed early."
Yi Xiaobo hurriedly waved goodbye to Lu Zhengxiang and the others, turned around and trotted over, looking at the family of four. He bowed and stepped back, closing the gate of the yard.
After the stranger left, the atmosphere in the yard instantly became a lot more relaxed, and Ruoruo could boldly look around in the yard.
After Yi Xiaobo left, Ruan Suhe and others went to look around a few houses. To be honest, the yards were much larger than the ones they had lived in in the village before.
In general, the living room is the largest, followed by the larger master bedroom, and the remaining two bedrooms of similar size are secondary bedrooms. The kitchen is also not bad and does not look cramped, with plenty of room for maneuvering.
No! There is no toilet?
...
...
"Um...why didn't I see the toilet?"
Ruan Suhe walked around but didn't see any toilet. She was very confused and asked with some doubt.
"Ahem, all bungalows with yards are like this. There is no integrated toilet. You need to go to the public toilet in the south to use the toilet."
When Lu Zhengxiang heard Ruan Suhe's question, he still felt a little embarrassed.
"Will not all the people in the family compound go to the public toilet? I'm afraid there won't be enough toilets."
Ruan Suhe immediately felt that this public toilet was in short supply. After all, most of the people in the family compound were women and children. At this moment, she had already imagined that if she lived here in the future, she would definitely have to queue up every day to use the toilet...
"Well, it's not that exaggerated. Every household in the building has a toilet."
When saying this, Lu Zhengxiang felt a little guilty, fearing that she would ask him why he didn't apply for an apartment.
"Oh, that's good. I thought everyone was using the public toilet. It's okay then."
Unexpectedly, Ruan Suhe didn't mind the question of whether it was a bungalow or a building, and the topic was just passed over.
"Let's clean up the master bedroom first. It's quite large and should be able to accommodate the four of us..."
Realizing that she had taken the initiative to say that he and she had slept in the same bed, Ruan Suhe had no idea what was wrong with her and why she said it so naturally.
"That's right, the hard work of traveling..." She was still racking her brains to think of how to explain it.
"Well, I know what you mean, let the two children sleep in the middle."
Lu Zhengxiang immediately understood why she stopped talking halfway. Without giving her time to explain, he took the initiative to offer a solution.
It's still a little cold at night, and a gust of wind makes the two little ones shiver.
"Come in, come in, it's fresh air, don't catch a cold."
Although Ruan Suhe had thick skin and flesh now, she was not very resistant to cold. She took Ruoruo in her arms and pushed her towards the master bedroom.
As for whether Tiedan wants to enter the house, it depends on whether this stubborn little donkey can recognize the current situation and rise to the challenge.
Sure enough, as soon as Ruan Suhe and Ruoruo entered the house, Tiedan followed them in obediently.
Lu Zhengxiang quietly walked into the kitchen and took the initiative to boil water. The family of four had been traveling for two days and one night, and they were all exhausted. Even if it was late, he felt that he would be more comfortable to sleep after washing up.
When he entered the room carrying the water at adjusted temperature, Ruan Suhe, who was making the bed, looked towards the door reflexively. She was stunned when she saw the hot steam rising above the enamel basin he was holding.
In her brief impression, Lu Zhengxiang was a straight man made of steel, no! He was a straight man made of stainless steel. The thought of boiling water for washing was totally beyond her expectation.
"You and the child come wash your faces first, I'll go make the rest of the beds."
Lu Zhengxiang was probably used to being in the army, so he always spoke briefly, to the point and concisely.
Ruan Suhe looked down at the bed that she was almost making, hesitated for a few seconds, and felt that it was not impossible for men to do housework.
As new-age women in the 21st century, we must cultivate the awareness that men should take the initiative to share housework.
So, she only hesitated for a few seconds, then threw down the sheets in her hand and climbed out of bed swiftly.
Ruoruo was too small, so Ruan Suhe took the enamel basin from the table and placed it on the four-legged stool in the corner, asking Ruoruo to squat down. She scooped water with her hands to wash Ruoruo's little face.
Ruan Suhe touched Ruoruo's washed face, which was already chapped by the wind, and she couldn't help feeling distressed.
She quickly took out the vanishing cream that Lu Zhengxiang had sent back last time, and carefully applied a thick layer on Ruoruo's face and hands.
She told Ruoruo not to move and wait for the cream to be absorbed completely, then without saying anything, she pulled Tiedan over, forced him to squat down and helped him wash his face.
Tiedan was very awkward at first, and kept turning his head away to prevent her from washing his face. This made Ruan Suhe so angry that she slapped his little butt. Only then did Tiedan calm down, but he pursed his little mouth even tighter, looking unconvinced.
Ruan Suhe finally understood that Tiedan was a masochist. Being too nice to him would seem like harming him. So, he would be more obedient if he was treated harshly, seriously, and in a commanding manner, or if he was spanked on the butt.
While Tiedan was still sulking, she quickly applied some face cream on Tiedan.
After dealing with the two little brats, Ruan Suhe started to wash her face, followed by Lu Zhengxiang.
When the family of four lay in bed, it was already midnight. Everything around them had become quiet, with only the whistling of the glass windows caused by the wind.
The long journey made them sleep until dawn, which was almost eight o'clock.
Lu Zhengxiang was the first one to wake up. He turned around and saw that the other three were still asleep, so he quietly went out.
He planned to go to the cafeteria to get food first, as if it was any later there might be no food left. He quickly put on his clothes, went to the kitchen, picked up two stainless steel lunch boxes, and ran to the cafeteria.
Fortunately, it was not too late when he arrived at the cafeteria, and there was still a small portion of rice, porridge and buns.
Lu Zhengxiang was so focused on getting his meal that he didn't notice Zhou Aixue waving at him excitedly not far away.
"Auntie, porridge and side dishes for four people, and six meat buns."
Soon it was Lu Zhengxiang's turn to get his meal. He handed the stainless steel lunch box in his hand to the aunt at the window and was about to take out the food coupons from his pocket.
"Brother Zhengxiang, I greeted you, why didn't you respond to me? When did you come back? How come I didn't know about it? My dad is such a fool, why did he keep it a secret from me?"
