She didn't say in a pretentious or polite way that she was not good-looking or that she was just average looking.
If it looks good, it looks good. If others praise it sincerely, you should express your gratitude generously.
The car slowly stopped, and after about twenty minutes, it arrived at the Northwest Military Region.
Their arrival happened to be seen by many military wives.
Everyone also knows that the Jade-faced Yama, Sheng Zexi, has returned with his wife from the countryside!
Sheng Zexi has always been the focus of attention in the Northwest Military Region. Now that he has married, and married a country girl, it has aroused even more heated discussions.
"What do you think Captain Sheng's lover looks like?"
"What else can she look like? A country girl, she must have dark skin, look like bean sprouts, or be fat and strong. She is probably not well educated."
Anyway, all the country girls they have met are like this.
"Why do you think Captain Sheng married a country girl?"
"Marrying someone doesn't mean they are willing. I heard that country people are the most barbaric and have many tricks to scheme against others. Maybe they used some method to get back at Captain Sheng."
"I think so too. It was a calculated move to force Captain Sheng to marry her."
"Speaking of which, Captain Sheng is also pitiful."
So, when Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing just got off the car, a wave of rumors about them spread throughout the military region like an unhealthy wind.
As the rumor spread, it became known that Sheng Zexi was tricked into marrying that country wife, and that that country wife was very ugly, with dark and rough skin and pockmarks.
The Jade-faced Battalion Commander married an ugly woman! How pitiful, how pitiful!
Gu Jianing didn't know that it was Sheng Zexi who used some tricks to frame her to make her look ugly.
At this time, the car had stopped in front of her house, which was the bungalow that Sheng Zexi applied for.
After getting off the car, the cold wind forced Gu Jianing to put his hat back on and pull his scarf up.
Looking around, there are several rows of bungalows arranged in an orderly manner. The bungalow that Sheng Zexi applied for is in the front row, and there are several rows behind it.
Next door is Zhang Shuwan's family.
Sheng Zexi said that among these rows of bungalows, the one in the front is the best because it has a yard, a separate toilet and bathroom, and a well.
The rows at the back have no yards, and either they lack this or that.
However, there are very few people living in the back rows, and there are still many empty houses.
As for the reason.
One reason is that it is too cold in the Northwest. It snows almost all winter. Once it snows heavily, the mountains will be closed for at least two months, and supplies will be in short supply.
Family members are reluctant to follow the troops.
Another reason is that most of the people who come to join the army prefer tube-shaped buildings.
Therefore, there are more people living in the tube-shaped buildings in the staff quarters.
However, Gu Jianing felt that a bungalow with a yard like this was better and had a larger area. The area of the tube-shaped building was too small, and many places had to be shared, so there was not much privacy.
Sheng Zexi went to get the key and opened the door.
After helping Sheng Zexi and his wife carry their luggage in, Lin Xing also took his wife and daughter back to his own home next door.
"After I got the application, I had someone clean this place up. Look, it's pretty tidy."
Gu Jianing took a look and thought that these were the soldiers who were called in to do the general cleaning. The cleaning was very clean and the arrangements were very neat, which reminded Gu Jianing of the tofu cubes stacked by Sheng Zexi.
"Let's go walk around here together."
So the young couple walked around the bungalow.
There is a living room in the middle of the bungalow, with two rooms on the left and right sides. On the east side is a kitchen and a storage room, and on the west side are a toilet and bathroom.
A courtyard on three sides surrounds these rooms.
It’s not very big, but it’s not small either, especially since there is a well in the yard.
Gu Jianing knew too well how important and convenient wells, separate toilets and bathrooms were these days.
that is……
"Is there too little water in this well?" Gu Jianing asked.
The well water is very clear, but you can almost see the bottom. Is this water really enough?
"Water resources are scarce in the northwest, especially in winter. It's still good now, and the temperature is minus 10 degrees Celsius in winter, so I rarely take a bath in winter, sometimes only once a month. Otherwise, it's too cold to take a bath, and I'm afraid I'll get sick from the cold."
Sheng Zexi first heated the two kangs in the living room and the master bedroom, then fetched some water and put it on the stove. Then he took out a broom and quickly swept the accumulated snow in the yard.
Although someone cleaned the yard two days ago, it snows every day, so there is still snow in the yard every day.
When Gu Jianing heard that he only took a bath once a month, he was immediately shocked.
"I don't have to take a bath once a month, do I? Then can I take a bath today? I'm almost marinated." Gu Jianing's voice was a little aggrieved. Huaihua Village is in the south. It won't snow no matter how cold it is in winter. Gu Jianing is very clean, so she takes a bath every day no matter how cold it is in winter.
"Yes." Sheng Zexi gave her an affirmative answer, then leaned over and whispered something in Gu Jianing's ear. Gu Jianing's eyes lit up, and she grabbed his arm with both hands in surprise, "Are you serious?"
"Really? I'll take you there in the afternoon."
"Okay, it's settled."
"Well, do I need to do anything now?" Although Gu Jianing was lazy and didn't like to work, he felt a little embarrassed when he saw Sheng Zexi busy alone. After all, this was their home.
"Go pack your luggage and put away the small items. I'll go to the cafeteria to get food when I'm done."
"good."
So the couple started to get busy, one inside the house and the other outside.
Gu Jianing placed the food she brought from her mother's home in the cabinet in the kitchen. There were a lot of pickled meats, such as pickled rabbit, smoked chicken, smoked meat, etc., as well as pickled vegetables made by her mother Yao Chunhua.
Originally, her family wanted her to bring rice, flour and other food, but Gu Jianing refused. Every household was short of food these days, so how could she accept it? Besides, the journey was too far and these things were too heavy.
Gu Jianing has the exchange mall in his hands, where food, clothing, housing, transportation and other items are all very cheap. He can find time and opportunity to exchange some food later.
After putting the food away, Gu Jianing went to his and Sheng Zexi's master bedroom and looked at the kang with curiosity.
There is no such thing as a kang in the south, and Gu Jianing has never slept on one.
Nowadays, there is no heating like modern times, so we can only burn the kang.
Gu Jianing touched it and thought that maybe it had not been burned for a short time, so it was not hot yet.
She placed the quilt on the kang, spread it out carefully, and also put the pillows and other things in place.
