Chapter 12 Take her to the canteen
The two walked out of the family courtyard. The wind blew, and the sweat on Lu Weiguo's face disappeared. The itchy feeling in his chest slowly returned to calm.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The two took a car to the city and came to the furniture counter.
In the past few years, if you want to get furniture, you have to apply to the government. It was only in the past two years that furniture began to be supplied with tickets.
But furniture tickets are hard to come by.
The Shi family did save some, and Lu Weiguo also had some on hand, so he didn't have to exchange them with others.
Other people's marriages are not as hasty as theirs. They will find carpenters to make furniture in advance. In the case of their flash marriage, they can only buy ready-made ones.
After buying these furniture, the two of them didn't have many furniture tickets left.
They agreed with each other that they would go back after the goods were delivered tomorrow.
Now it was getting dark, Lu Weiguo did not drive today, and other things would be bought tomorrow.
Lu Weiguo went back after sending Shi Tingyu home safely.
It was okay to go back to the dormitory late during the holidays.
The next morning, Lu Weiguo drove to pick up Shi Tingyu.
The car was approved by Zhao Tuan.
Zhao Tuan knew that they had to buy things in the next few days and it was inconvenient to go back and forth. It happened that the camp did not use the car these days, so he approved it for Lu Weiguo to use first.
With a car, Shi Tingyu was free when buying things.
Lu Weiguo followed behind her, and he took whatever she bought.
Soon his hands were full.
After putting the things on the truck, they came to the furniture counter. They heard that the deliveryman was about to leave, so they followed him to avoid being blocked outside the family yard.
The two trucks arrived at the family yard one after the other, and drove in after registering.
It was almost lunch time. The family members who were leaving work saw the truck full of furniture and were amazed.
How much money would this cost?
They would have to save up the tickets for this set for many years.
Captain Lu was really willing to spend money.
Everyone who passed by sighed in their hearts.
The truck stopped in front of the small courtyard. There was a noise in the next courtyard. The door was opened and a woman in her thirties came out.
She had short hair and her clothes were very neat.
She saw the truck parked at the gate of the small courtyard next to her, and stood at the gate looking to the east.
Shi Tingyu followed Lu Weiguo out of the car. She was petite and was blocked by Lu Weiguo.
Lu Weiguo saw Mrs. Zhang at the next door and greeted her, "Sister-in-law, are you off work?"
Mrs. Zhang smiled and nodded. She was one of the few people in the family courtyard who was not afraid of Lu Weiguo.
Mrs. Zhang's husband was the commander of the second battalion, and he and Lu Weiguo got along well. When the second battalion commander's wife came to join the army, she invited him to dinner, and Lu Weiguo went there.
He chose this courtyard because he knew that the other party was easy to get along with.
Mrs. Zhang looked at the truck and asked, "Xiao Lu, when are you going to move in? I heard from Lao Zhang that you are married. When are you going to bring your wife to our house for dinner?"
Lu Weiguo paused and took a step to the side. Shi Tingyu appeared in front of Mrs. Zhang.
Shi Tingyu stood there pretty, like a swaying flower.
She followed Lu Weiguo and called Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang's eyes were wide open. After a long while, she stammered, "Xiao Lu, this, this is you, your...wife?!"
Seeing Lu Weiguo nodded.
Mrs. Zhang slapped her thigh and said, "Oh my God! Xiao Lu, how did you find such a beautiful wife? I thought you were going to be single."
Mrs. Zhang was so shocked that she said what was in her heart.
In front of the two delivery workers, Shi Tingyu secretly glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Lu Weiguo, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you are joking. Weiguo is a good person. He looks fierce, but he is a good person."
Lu Weiguo's eyes were slightly stunned, and he reacted to what Shi Tingyu said, and his face was a little unnatural.
This was the first time he was praised like this.
He was used to being feared and disliked by others before, but now he suddenly heard this, and his heart was a little strange.
Mrs. Zhang was also a little embarrassed, "Hey! Look at my mouth, I know what kind of person Xiao Lu is, don't take it to heart, sister. He hasn't gotten married before, and Lao Zhang and I were worried about him."
"Now that he's married with you, we're happy too. You've been busy recently, but when you move in, come to my house for dinner."
Shi Tingyu could feel that the other party was sincere, so he said, "There will be plenty of opportunities when we move in in the future. Weiguo and I will treat you to dinner, and you and my brother can come too."
Lu Weiguo also echoed, "Yes, sister-in-law, you must come."
In fact, he was not very good at dealing with sisters-in-law.
Many of the military families who had seen him before were a little afraid of him, so few people dared to approach him, but every time he passed by them, he could always hear some whispers, which made him feel depressed and helpless.
Now that he can talk so much, it can be considered a breakthrough.
This is when Shi Tingyu was there. He was worried that she would be embarrassed because she had just arrived and was not familiar with people, so he said a few more words.
Mrs. Zhang had a good impression of Shi Tingyu. Knowing that they were busy, she did not pull them to continue chatting.
"If you have something to do, go ahead. I just came out to see when I heard something. I was relieved to know it was you."
After saying that, she did not continue to be polite with them, waved her hand and went into the house.
At this time, the two deliverymen had already unloaded the furniture from the car.
"Comrade, where is this wardrobe?"
Shi Tingyu hurried to lead the way, and Lu Weiguo followed the workers to help.
By the time the beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs were all in place, it was already past lunchtime.
The house hadn't been occupied yet, and they couldn't even get a glass of water. Lu Weiguo took two yuan and gave it to them as a reward for their hard work.
After sending the deliveryman away, Lu Weiguo took Shi Tingyu to the canteen in the camp.
At this time, there were no people in the cafeteria. Only a few people who missed the meal came here to find something to eat with the chef.
The combination of beauty and beast like Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu had a 200% turning back rate. Some people looked back again after taking a look, thinking that they were dazzled.
They also heard that the most difficult battalion commander in the army got married. Originally, they thought that according to Battalion Commander Lu's appearance, the wife he found should not be big and strong, but at least a woman who looked fierce. Otherwise, ordinary female comrades could not subdue this wolf.
But what did they see now?
This woman who looked fair and delicate did not cry and run away ten meters from Battalion Commander Lu? This was simply a miracle.
They did not think that this woman was not Battalion Commander Lu's wife.
Everyone in this military region knows that Captain Lu never gets close to any female comrade.
Now that they can walk together so intimately, their relationship must be what they think it is.
Lu Weiguo arranged Shi Tingyu in a corner, looked at the remaining dishes, paid the money and tickets, and asked the chef to cook another dish.
The chef was a quick man, and he immediately started to heat the oil in the wok.
When Lu Weiguo walked back to his seat, he suddenly found that several people who were originally a little far away from them had quietly moved several seats to their table.
Lu Weiguo glared at them, but got a silly smile from them.
