Chapter 11 Family Courtyard
For the convenience of movement, Shi Tingyu did not wear a skirt, but a white shirt and black pants, with a pair of black Mary Jane shoes on her feet.
The only thing that stood out was that she carried a small white leather bag, which she brought back from abroad.
Except for the bag, everything else, including her double braided hairstyle, was no different from other women, but in Lu Weiguo's eyes, she was just prettier than others.
Shi Tingyu was 1.68 meters tall, which was not short here, but compared with Lu Weiguo who was nearly 1.90 meters tall, she was still not good-looking enough. When
the two figures, one tall and one short, appeared at the gate of the family courtyard, they were greeted with a wave of obscure scrutiny.
The wives of soldiers and soldiers on leave who entered and exited the family courtyard cast curious glances at them. The wives of
the soldiers who had never seen Lu Weiguo were frightened by his appearance, and those who had seen him subconsciously kept their distance.
Lu Weiguo used to live in the dormitory in the camp, not in the family compound, so many wives of the soldiers had never seen him.
The soldiers on guard had seen Lu Weiguo before, but they had never seen him so close to any woman.
At this moment, his body was motionless, but his eyes followed the movement of the two figures.
The excited little man almost couldn't hold back.
He wanted to say something, but the discipline didn't allow it, and his face turned red.
[Damn, isn't this the King Yan from the first battalion? ]
[Is the person next to him his girlfriend or sister? 】
【I don't think so. With the appearance of a battalion commander, his sister is definitely not good-looking, and it's even more impossible to have a girlfriend. The battalion commander is famous for his fierceness and banditry in the camp. I heard that every blind date he goes on has failed. 】
【Ahhh, so curious, I really want to move! 】
However, the two bypassed him, registered and went in.
Fortunately, this time period is the time when others go to work, and there are not many people staying in the family courtyard. After passing the gate, there are not many people.
At first, the family courtyard was all houses with small courtyards, located near the gate of the family area, and then a second batch of small courtyards were built in the middle. The newest building is at the innermost of the family courtyard.
The small courtyard that Lu Weiguo applied for is in the middle of the family area, close to the easternmost part. There is only one neighbor on the west side, and there is still some distance between the two courtyards. It is the second batch of houses built, and it is about 70% to 80% new.
Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo arrived at the door, and the two wooden doors were guarded by iron generals.
Lu Weiguo took out a brass key and unlocked it.
The two doors were pushed open one on the left and the other on the right, and the whole courtyard came into view.
The shape of the courtyard is close to a square, with a stone road in the middle, leading directly to the main room.
The kitchen is on the right side of the courtyard, and the toilet is on the left, diagonally opposite the kitchen, in the corner near the inner wall of the gate, to ensure that the smell of the toilet cannot get into the house.
The rest of the place is mud that has not been hardened.
In front of the main hall and the rooms of this courtyard, there is a corridor that is almost two meters wide. The length of the corridor is the width of the entire courtyard, and the entire corridor has four vertical pillars.
When it rains, you can put things in the courtyard into the corridor without worrying about getting wet.
The door of the main hall is red, and it is empty inside.
On both sides of the main hall are two rooms, which are also empty, just waiting for things to be brought in.
Shi Tingyu looked at the ground again and found that the main hall and the bedroom were paved with cement, which was much better than she imagined. After
taking a general look at the yard, Shi Tingyu was quite satisfied, especially the yard seemed to have been cleaned, everything was very clean, and there was not even any weeds.
"Shall we go buy furniture first?" Lu Weiguo asked when he saw that she was satisfied with the yard.
Shi Tingyu hummed, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she took out a pen and paper from her bag, stood with her legs apart, and pasted the paper on the concrete pillar in the corridor, writing down the things she wanted to buy bit by bit.
In addition to furniture, the light bulb in the room also needs to be replaced. Lu Weiguo just checked and the light bulb was not bright. Pots, bowls
, pans, and other things also need to be bought.
There is an earthen stove in the kitchen, so she will have to buy a stove when the time comes. It is not easy to get straw and firewood here, and she is not very good at lighting an earthen stove.
When cooking alone, she has to take care of the fire in the stove and the vegetables in the pot. She does not have the skills yet.
She also wants to grow some vegetables in the yard, so she has to buy some simple farm tools.
Another thing is to buy a ladder. There is a flat floor at the top of the corridor where you can put things to dry.
Other things such as toilet paper, broom, dustpan, fire tongs, water tank, water scoop and so on are also indispensable.
After writing down everything, Shi Tingyu found that a piece of paper was full.
She looked up at Lu Weiguo.
The man was standing next to her at this moment. She still kept her legs apart, and her originally short stature in front of the other person seemed even shorter.
She immediately retracted her legs.
"Hiss~ Oh oh oh!"
As her legs moved, a tingling numbness spread from the soles of her feet upwards. She lifted her legs unconsciously and dared not let them fall.
Because she was holding a pen and paper in her hands, she was in a state of helplessness at this time, and her body could not help but sway.
At this moment, a pair of hands like iron clamps held her steadily.
After making sure that she stood firmly, Lu Weiguo silently retracted his hands.
He put the hands that had just helped her behind his back, and his fingers couldn't help but curl up.
She looked very thin, but her arms were unexpectedly soft. Although he helped her through the sleeves of his shirt, it was still like pinching dough.
It was a soft touch he had never felt before.
"Are your legs numb?" Lu Weiguo suppressed the strangeness in his heart and asked calmly.
Shi Tingyu nodded, and he couldn't control his expression.
Lu Weiguo squatted down and pinched her calf, "Lift your legs up and relax."
When he was a new soldier, his legs would go numb every time he stood on guard, and pressing would make them feel better, or moving slowly and walking.
The moment his hand pressed on her leg, Shi Tingyu almost threw the pen in her hand.
She was a little panicked and held the pillar with one hand, and the hand holding the paper consciously held Lu Weiguo's shoulder.
Lu Weiguo is very tall, and when he squats, he is tall enough, like a bear. Her hands are at the right height on his shoulders.
Suddenly, there is a pair of white hands holding a piece of paper on his shoulders. Lu Weiguo's body can't help but stiffen, and the action of pressing his legs with his hands also stops.
The shoulders touched by her seemed to be on fire, and the heat spread along the skin to the neck, showing a dark red color.
Tingyu didn't feel good when her calves were pressed.
She wanted to scream every time she was pressed, but she always felt that it was not good to scream, so she bit her lip and held it back.
But not screaming doesn't mean she didn't scream.
The tiny hissing sounds were like feathers, tickling Lu Weiguo's heart.
It was so itchy that he wanted to pat his chest and rub it.
Sweat slowly seeped out of his face.
Massage is still effective. The leg that Shi Tingyu was massaged on has already felt much better.
"I, I feel much better."
Shi Tingyu wanted to say this calmly, but she stuttered a little.
She took a deep breath and looked away silently.
Lu Weiguo's low and hoarse voice rang out, "Hold on, I'll change your other leg."
Shi Tingyu did as he was told.
The massage speed of the other leg was much faster, after all, it took a while.
After the leg massage, Lu Weiguo slowly stood up, and Shi Tingyu found that the man's forehead was already covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Shi Tingyu thought to herself, after all, he is a big man, and squatting is indeed tiring.
