Jiang Fan came to pick someone up today in his own car. He is usually very low-key and never likes to show off his wealth in the military area. It is rare for him to drive out today.
Li Qingyun looked at the brand new car with some envy. In this era, it was really amazing to own a car of your own. You had to be rich or noble. She didn't know when she would be able to own a car of her own.
She had learned to drive in her previous life, but because she wanted to save money to buy a house, she never had the money to buy a car.
Gu Tingzhou saw his wife's envious look and knew that she might be remembering her life in her previous life.
Beng had heard her say that by that time, ordinary people would be able to afford cars, but now, she could only look at others with envy. Gu Tingzhou's eyes darkened, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Dabao also looked at the car and exclaimed: "Uncle Jiang, can this big thing move?"
Jiang Fan was amused by his exaggerated expression: "You'll know if you try it. Get in the car?" After saying that, he opened the back door and let him get in.
The car was driving through the streets and alleys. Dabao kept leaning on the car window and looking at the more prosperous scene outside. Every frame left him stunned.
My eyes can hardly take it all in. I have seen so many things today that I have never seen before.
Erbao did the same, standing on Gu Tingzhou's legs, trying hard to pull at the window, wanting to see the scenery outside.
On the contrary, Li Qingyun was not interested. To her, having seen the skyscrapers and the bright lights and wine and women of later generations, these were all very common.
When the car passed by the largest department store in Beijing, Jiang Fan asked, "Are you guys going to buy some daily necessities? I just happened to be passing by the department store. I can help bring them back so that my sister-in-law doesn't have to run back again."
Gu Tingzhou's inquiring gaze fell on Li Qingyun's face.
Li Qingyun's eyes seemed to be asking, "Is it okay?" Along the way, she had indeed thought about a lot of things to buy, including daily necessities and kitchen supplies.
Seeing that she was eager to try, Gu Tingzhou said readily, "Then pull over."
The two left Dabao and Erbao in the car and asked Jiang Fan to look after them temporarily. There were too many people in the department store and it was inconvenient to buy things with children.
Jiang Fan also stuffed a roll of bills into Gu Tingzhou's hand, winking and smiling, feeling that he was very foresighted.
Gu Tingzhou didn't bother to be polite with him. Comrades who had a good relationship in the army were like this, helping each other.
Gu Tingzhou returned the money he had given him before. He felt bad about it and naturally wanted more compensation in other aspects.
The two men rushed into the department store with the receipts given by Jiang Fan and the money in their pockets.
When they came out, both of them were covered with things.
The sixties version of buy buy buy.
Throw it all in the trunk.
After leaving Beijing, Jiang Fan drove much faster. When he returned to the military area, it was still light.
Jiang Fan greeted the young soldier on duty and drove the car directly to the gate of the small courtyard chosen by Gu Tingzhou.
He had helped Gu Tingzhou with tidying up and cleaning up a lot in the past period of time, so he was quite familiar with the place.
Li Qingyun looked at the small courtyard in front of her in surprise.
She originally thought that the houses allocated to the military region would definitely be very ordinary.
I didn’t expect it to be such a big building.
There are five small single-family houses in this area, and they are separated by several hundred meters, leaving enough private space. Li Qingyun is quite satisfied with it.
I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I walked in.
This small courtyard is quite large, and there is even a small pavilion inside. There is a small wooden table and a few small round stools underneath, and a beautiful swing set next to it.
You can tell at a glance that these were made by someone who knows carpentry.
After entering the room and taking a look, her eyes became even more moist. To be honest, she always thought that Gu Tingzhou was a rough man.
I didn't expect that this bastard would actually remember what he said and put it into practice.
Every detail of the layout of the house and outside was exactly what she wanted. She had only mentioned it to him a few times when they were chatting before.
Seeing that she looked quite satisfied, Gu Tingzhou was originally quite proud of himself, but he didn't expect that he would make her cry, so he hurried over to comfort her.
"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with something? If you are not satisfied, we can just arrange it according to what you want. Don't cry." He helped her wipe away a tear from the corner of her eye with heartache.
"Satisfied, I'm very satisfied, Gu Tingzhou." Li Qingyun tiptoed lightly and gave him a light kiss on the face.
Gu Tingzhou's eyes lit up instantly. His wife actually kissed him on her own initiative. What should he do if he doesn't want to wash his face today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?
Jiang Fan helped them unload the luggage from the car and drove away, leaving the family enough private space.
He also told them to come to his house when they have time.
Li Qingyun then realized that Jiang Fan's family also lived in this row, in the last building with the most beautiful large courtyard.
"Invite your comrades to your house for dinner in a few days. Jiang Fan was so busy today that I didn't have time to treat him to a simple meal." Li Qingyun said thoughtfully.
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife. But don't get too tired." Gu Tingzhou said this habitually and added another sentence.
It was now time for dinner. Gu Tingzhou went to the cafeteria to get food, while Li Qingyun stayed at home with the two children and tidied up the house.
Gu Tingzhou had cleaned the house inside and out, it was spotless and didn't need to be cleaned again.
All you have to do is put the items they brought in the appropriate places.
Li Qingyun is good at this.
She sent Dabao out and asked him to play with his younger brother in the pavilion.
Then he closed the door and started to take things out.
Quilts and pillows for the bed.
The thermos kettle, enamel basin, teacup, and other daily necessities that had been collected from the cabinets in my hometown were all placed in the cabinets.
Then, in the kitchen, all the food, pickles and other things that had been stored in the space were taken out.
Neatly arranged in the cabinets and on the chopping board.
Gu Tingzhou has already purchased all the large items for the home, such as a coal stove, pots for cooking and frying, and a small casserole.
There is a pile of coal briquettes in the inconspicuous corner, and you can start your own fire tomorrow.
Military areas now use coal stoves, which are more convenient.
Li Qingyun took out the small stove and small pot in his space, which he could use sometimes.
As for the furniture in the room, it should be the furniture that was there before. It doesn’t look brand new, but it is about 80% new. Li Qingyun is quite satisfied with it.
Although the winter in Beijing is cold, it is not as cold as dozens of degrees below zero, so there is no need to sleep on a kang, everyone uses a bed.
There is only one main room in the house, where we entertain guests and eat.
There are three rooms, each of which is equipped with a bed, a large wardrobe and a set of tables and chairs.
It is worth mentioning that Gu Tingzhou made a set of sofas himself and placed them in the main room (equivalent to the living room).
As expected of someone with carpentry skills, he can do this himself and save money.
In the past few months, Gu Tingzhou did not send any money back home. He spent all the money on decorating the house. He really put in a lot of effort.
Li Qingyun said that the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.
