Jiang Manyue quickly shook her head. "No, no, a quilt cover of ordinary color will do. We need four quilt covers, four sheets, four pillowcases and pillowcases, as well as two blankets and a quilt."
She only asked for the autumn quilt and not the winter quilt. One reason was that it was too heavy to carry, and another reason was that she felt that the quilt she asked someone to make herself would be more comfortable.
Jiang Manyue had heard Lu Lin say that Yunzhou was a little colder in winter than her hometown, and the quilts there were thicker. So she planned to buy cotton and have someone make two thick winter quilts herself. The quilts were made of solid material and would be warm.
Although the salesperson failed to sell the bright red quilt cover, Jiang Manyue asked for a lot of things and was happily given a receipt.
"By the way, we also need two thermoses."
This time, the salesperson took out two types of thermoses, one with a rattan shell and the other with a metal shell.
"The rattan ones are six dollars each, and the metal ones are eight dollars each. They're both about the same in terms of warmth, but the metal ones look a bit more luxurious. Which one would you like, comrade?"
Jiang Manyue directly asked for two wicker ones. As long as they were usable, there was no need to buy expensive ones just for the sake of looking good. Although she had money, she still had to save money where possible.
The salesperson issued a receipt for them together. After checking, they decided not to buy too much for the time being, so they paid the bill and took their things back.
After putting the things in the new house, Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue had time to pick up Lu Jun'an.
Lu Jun'an was having fun on the training ground at this time. There were no special toys in the army, but there were a lot of training equipment. He climbed up and down and had a lot of fun.
It was almost lunchtime when Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue arrived, so they took Lu Junan directly to the military cafeteria.
Jiang Manyue and Lu Junan sat in the cafeteria. Lu Lin went to get three meals by himself. Qi Xiangrong and another comrade-in-arms Xie Anbang each got one for him and sat down next to them.
The other people who had gathered together on the training ground were also sitting nearby. After dinner, Lu Lin did not let these people go. He took them all to their new house and waited for the delivery truck to arrive.
He arranged for Jiang Manyue and Lu Jun'an to go back to the guesthouse to rest and come back after the group of men finished moving the furniture.
Qi Xiangrong said sourly, "Men with wives are different. They just treat us like animals. Why didn't you even tell them to go back and take a nap before moving?"
Xie Anbang was a married man, and he said sincerely, "Don't blame Lu Lin. If my wife were here, I would treat you like animals too. You can't tire my wife out."
When Qi Xiangrong heard this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm going to fight you guys who have forgotten their brothers because they have wives!"
The group of people started to make a commotion again, and did not stop until the truck arrived at the gate of the military compound.
The large pieces of furniture on the cart were quickly lifted down by a group of soldiers and placed neatly in their proper places according to Lu Lin's instructions.
Qi Xiangrong put the bed down and started complaining, "Damn it, Lu Lin, you didn't buy the iron bed, but insisted on buying a wooden one. It's so heavy."
Lu Lin was merciless, "The wooden bed sank? Why didn't you say you were weak?"
Qi Xiangrong was so angry that he wanted to fight him again, but when he thought of Lu Lin's recent recovery, he glared at him instead and said, "When you're fully recovered, we must have a good fight."
Lu Lin chuckled, "Whatever, you can't beat me anyway."
This made Qi Xiangrong so angry that he went back to the training ground to work overtime, determined to beat Lu Lin down next time.
Qi Xiangrong ran away, and the others also wanted to run away but were a step too late. Pressured by Lu Lin, they went to the next door to borrow a broom and rag and cleaned the house from top to bottom.
The house quickly transformed from being bare in the morning into a home that could be moved into soon.
Seeing that there was no work to do, Lu Lin started to chase people away because he was still busy washing the quilt covers.
Even though the work here seems to be almost done, the bedding, pillowcases and other things have not been washed and cannot be used yet. He has to get them all ready before he can move in.
Lu Lin had promised Jiang Manyue that he would not let her worry about housework except cooking. While Jiang Manyue was resting in the guesthouse, he bought a bar of soap and started scrubbing the quilt cover.
It's hot and sunny now, so he washed them quickly. It will probably be almost done by this afternoon. He will dry them again tomorrow and put them away in the afternoon so they can be used in the evening.
Everything was new, and scrubbing wasn't difficult. Lu Lin quickly hung up the sheets and quilt covers, and only returned to the guesthouse after finishing all this.
Jiang Manyue had just woken up from a nap. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she knew it was Lu Lin who had returned.
"Are you back? Have you moved your things?"
Lu Lin nodded, "It's moved in. I've also washed the sheets and quilt covers. Once they're dry, they'll be ready to use."
Jiang Manyue was very satisfied. "We should be able to move in tomorrow. I'll cook a delicious meal tomorrow night and invite your comrades to come over for a good meal."
Lu Lin agreed and asked her if she needed money and tickets, but Jiang Manyue decisively refused.
She had no intention of actually buying anything, she just wanted to pretend. The supplies in the space were endless, and she would not spend the money as long as she could get it from the space.
The two discussed the dishes again, and then Lu Lin went back to the next room to rest.
After staying in the guesthouse for one night, Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin decorated their new home the next day and started preparing the evening housewarming wine.
The dishes prepared by Jiang Manyue are all her specialties. She uses all kinds of pots. By the afternoon, the kitchen is already filled with fragrance.
Although Lu Lin didn't know how to cook, he was not idle and helped her. Although the two didn't talk much, they cooperated very well, and the small kitchen suddenly became full of the smell of home.
It was almost dinner time, so Lu Lin went to the training ground and called all his comrades back home.
"It smells so good! You're so lucky to have a wife with such good craftsmanship."
Qi Xiangrong smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, looked at their simple and warm new home, and his heart began to stir.
Although some of his brothers were married and some were still single, those who had wives lived separately from their wives. He didn't have much of a sense of reality about getting married, but when he arrived at Lu Lin's new home today, he immediately felt that getting married was a good idea.
Xie Anbang was a little envious. Lu Lin's wife had already come, so when would his wife come?
Several people came to the dining table in the living room and sat down noisily. Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue brought the dishes over.
Just as they were about to start eating, there was another knock on the door. Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin looked at each other strangely. Everyone who should have been invited was here, so why was there someone else coming?
Jiang Manyue untied the apron around her waist, wiped her hands, walked over and opened the door.
He Qiuya was standing outside the door, smiling softly at her, "I heard that Deputy Commander Lu moved into the military compound, so I sent some small gifts over, and I hope you don't mind."
The noise in the living room also stopped. Everyone looked out the door, wondering who this person was and what she was doing there.
