"We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
Lu Lin nodded to He Qiuya, then took Jiang Manyue away.
After walking more than ten meters away, Jiang Manyue looked back at He Qiuya again, and saw her biting her lips with a lonely and unwilling expression on her face.
"You don't know that girl just now?"
Jiang Manyue asked casually, but Lu Lin shook his head seriously.
"I really don't know her. I don't know why she acts so familiar with me. Maybe she's just being outgoing."
Lu Lin didn't think too much about it. There were many people in this world who were very sociable. When Qi Xiangrong was first assigned to the same dormitory with him, he acted as if he had known him for many years.
Jiang Manyue shook her head slightly. It was obvious that the girl was interested in Lu Lin, and anyone with good eyesight could see that.
But Lu Lin didn't seem to be lying. He probably really didn't know He Qiuya.
In this way, He Qiuya is very likely to have a crush on someone, or maybe it's just unrequited love.
Jiang Manyue glanced at Lu Lin and inexplicably found it a little funny. How come she met a "rival in love" as soon as she arrived?
However, Jiang Manyue didn't care. People of this era attach great importance to work style issues, especially since this is the military, they pay even more attention to personal work style issues.
Since He Qiuya knew that Lu Lin was already married, she would not take action even if she was moved.
If He Qiuya had any bad intentions when she knew that Lu Lin was married and his wife was in the army, not to mention Jiang Manyue, even the leaders of the art troupe would not let her go.
The three of them walked to the family living area, also known as the military family compound. Jiang Manyue had already forgotten the previous episode.
Lu Lin found their new house according to the house number on the key. It was the third house on the left after entering the military compound.
This is a two-bedroom bungalow. The living room is not big, but it is connected to the kitchen, so it is quite convenient for daily life.
But the dishes and vegetables have to be washed in a row of sinks at the door, as there is no sewer in the house.
But it's more convenient here than my hometown. At least there is running water, so I don't have to draw well water to wash things.
Jiang Manyue visited the new house and was very satisfied. The next step was to buy furniture and clean the room.
The two of them took Lu Jun'an back to the training ground, entrusted Lu Jun'an to the care of their comrades, and then left the military area and headed straight for Yunzhou's furniture store.
They had a lot of things to buy, but fortunately these items were not subject to purchase restrictions and did not require tickets, so they just needed to bring enough money.
Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin walked around the store, got a general idea of what was going on, and then compared prices and started making purchases.
The house can now be said to be "barewalled". Apart from a few walls, there is nothing else. From large things like beds and sofas to small things like bedding and dishes, everything has to be bought on the spot.
Fortunately, the store has a special delivery truck, so as long as you buy large items, they can be delivered to your door.
Jiang Manyue first bought the urgent things, such as the bed, dining table and chairs, bowls and chopsticks, etc. Other unimportant items such as sofas and coffee tables were put off until she had time to choose them slowly.
Like state-owned department stores, retail stores require customers to go to various sales departments to get a receipt first. After making their selections, customers then take the receipt to the counter to pay.
Lu Lin had no objection to the furnishings in the house. Everything was up to Jiang Manyue's preferences. She started to choose freely, and soon she had several lists in her hands.
Jiang Manyue counted the lists one by one, still thinking about what necessities she hadn't bought. This time she had to buy them all at once, otherwise it would be too troublesome to run back and forth.
"We have the pots and pans, the tables and chairs, and the bed, and we've almost finished buying the cabinets and other miscellaneous items. Besides bedding, what else do you need urgently?"
Jiang Manyue asked Lu Lin while thinking about it. Lu Lin thought about it and shook his head, "The rest of the things will go to the state-owned department store. They only sell furniture here."
After making sure there was nothing else to buy in the store, the two went to the checkout counter together.
"It's three hundred and five dollars and eighty cents in total. Do you want to haul it back yourself or do you want the store truck to deliver it?"
Jiang Manyue quickly replied, "We need a large truck to deliver the goods."
Without even looking up, the salesperson wrote out another order. "Lorry delivery will be an extra five dollars, totaling three hundred and ten dollars and eighty cents."
Jiang Manyue nodded and took out money from her pocket, but was stopped by Lu Lin.
"I'll do it."
As Lu Lin spoke, he took out a thick stack of bills from his jacket pocket, counted out three hundred and eleven dollars and handed it to the salesperson.
The salesperson quickly found two dimes and asked, "What's the delivery address? What's the recipient's name?"
Lu Lin reported the military district address and the house number of his new house, and also gave his own name.
The salesperson quickly wrote down the order and handed it over. "Give this order to the truck driver. He will deliver it to your door at the appointed time."
Lu Lin thanked him, took the list and put it in his pocket.
The two left the store and took the bus to the department store.
After entering the department store, Jiang Manyue joked, "Think carefully. If you enter this store, all your savings accumulated over the years might be squandered by me."
Lu Lin didn't care. "You have to spend your allowance if you earn it. I can't let you suffer a hard life just because you followed me to the army. As long as the money is enough to pay the bill, just buy it."
Jiang Manyue was not polite at all, "I want to buy a refrigerator, a desk lamp, and an electric fan!"
Lu Lin nodded at her, "Okay, let's go to the counter and take a look."
The two walked towards the counter together, but after searching all the counters, they still couldn't find any trace of the refrigerator.
Jiang Manyue had no choice but to find a salesperson and politely asked, "Hello, sir. I'd like to ask if there are any refrigerators for sale here?"
The salesperson shook his head decisively. "No, if you want to buy a refrigerator, you have to go to a foreign exchange store and buy it with foreign exchange coupons."
Jiang Manyue gave up as soon as she heard this. They could still get industrial tickets, but there was no place to get foreign exchange coupons.
Lu Lin knew that Jiang Manyue wanted it, so he consoled her, "Forget it if we don't have it here. I'll go back to the army and ask if anyone has foreign exchange coupons. Once we get them, we can buy it."
Jiang Manyue shook her head. "Forget it. There's no foreign exchange coupons in the army. If I can't buy them, then I can't buy them. Anyway, I have a way to keep things from going bad."
Lu Lin instantly understood what she meant, "Then be careful and don't let anyone know."
Jiang Manyue nodded at him and said, "Don't worry, I won't do this in front of others."
The two of them talked in words that no one could understand along the way, bought table lamps and fans, and finally came to a counter selling bedding, kettles and other supplies.
Seeing that it was a young couple, the salesperson was very enthusiastic. "Are you a newlywed couple buying a quilt cover? Come and take a look at our new quilt cover. This is a rare bright red quilt cover with flowers!"
