Chapter 264 "Commander Duan, are you here too?"
The jeep drove back onto the road to Kun District. Wang Ziru could clearly see that both father and son were in surprisingly good moods, with laughter frequently flying out of the car window.
"Zi Ru, it will take about three more hours to reach Kun District. Are you tired?" Han Suijing teased the little guy and looked at the little woman beside him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Kun District is too far away from Xiong District, and the road is a long stretch of mountain roads with poor road conditions. It was really hard to travel along the bumpy road.
He knew that she had been feeling unwell these past few days and it was uncomfortable for her to sit in the car for too long.
"It's okay. I can handle it." Wang Ziru lifted the hair beside her cheek and played with her dark and shiny braid out of boredom. For a moment, she had nothing to talk about with Han Suijing.
It was completely dark when the jeep returned to the military compound in Kun District.
"Have we really reached Kun District?" The young man heard that he would be home soon. He excitedly leaned against the car window, looking at the lights on in the small houses in the family compound outside the window. He couldn't express how happy he was.
The moment the car slowly drove into the gate of Han Suijing's house, Song Yan saw Commander Duan slowing down and just returning home from get off work.
I met Li Junfeng face to face across the air.
The boy noticed the man leaning against the window of the car next to him, and excitedly banged on the window, shouting, "Uncle Commander!"
The little hands were also waving hurriedly.
In the car next to him, Commander Duan was leaning on the back seat in a casual manner. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice from the young man. He looked closely and saw that Han Suijing had taken the mother and daughter to Kun District so quickly!
Wang Ziru was so surprised that before she could close her mouth, she saw Commander Duan open the door of the car next to her and get out, and come over to say hello to Baoer.
"That's pretty fast! I thought you still had a few days to go before you got to Kunqu."
The car door was opened from the outside, and Commander Duan took the child directly from Han Suijing's legs and took him out.
Han Suijing smiled, turned around and said to Wang Ziru, "Let's get off too."
The two adults came out of the car one after another. Commander Duan glanced at the young wife who was following Han Suijing with her face lowered. He deliberately asked Baoer in a loud voice: "Has your mother never seen the world? Why is she looking around?"
"Commander Duan, are you here too?"
Wang Ziru didn't want to say hello to the other party, and she didn't look around. She raised her head and smiled at Commander Duan.
"Commander uncle, do you live here too?" Baoer asked.
"Yes! Do you want to visit my house? But we don't have any snacks at home tonight. We will have Coca-Cola, but you don't like Coke, right?" Commander Duan had already thrown away the cigarette in his hand, turned around and left with the child in his arms.
Wang Ziru was just about to ask where to take the child when she turned around and found a wide open space behind them. The two cars had turned around and stopped within the marked white lines.
She was a little surprised. Could it be that Commander Duan lived in a house nearby?
Then I saw Song Jian and Li Junfeng coming out of their respective cars.
Song Jian unloaded his luggage from the car by himself, walked straight to the front door of the house next door, opened the door, walked in, and then the lights in the room came on.
No way, is this Han Suijing's home in Kunqu District? Or is it a single-family house?
It’s so comfortable.
Wang Ziru was still looking at the small western-style building that Song Yan had entered when she heard Commander Duan laugh and say, "Uncle will take you out to play tomorrow!"
"Okay." Baoer seemed to be very familiar with the commander and was not afraid of him. She nodded obediently.
But his father said, "Tomorrow we are going to the school to register for kindergarten."
"Isn't school going to be out for summer vacation soon? Are you still going to sign up?" Commander Duan said casually, then returned the child to his subordinates, glanced at the child's mother who was standing by and looking around, then turned around and strode towards the door of his home.
Wang Ziru was then surprised to find that Commander Duan and Han Suijing lived next door to each other.
"Oh my God! From now on, I won't see you when I go out, but I'll see you when I get home!!"
She turned around and stared at Commander Duan as he opened the door and walked into the small house in a handsome manner. Li Junfeng followed behind him and looked back at them.
At this time, Wang Ziru had not yet noticed that not only were the two houses opposite each other, but one could also clearly see the other side from their respective balconies.
"Let's go, let's go inside and wait for a while. I'll ask Song Yan to go to the restaurant outside to fry some dishes and bring them back." Han Suijing saw the surprised expression on Wang Ziru's face, frowned, and motioned for them to go home first.
Walking into the small villa, Wang Ziru finally got to see what a luxury house in the 1980s looked like.
The windows are bright and clean, and the decoration inside the house is simple and comfortable.
There is an old-fashioned electric fan on the corner of the sofa in the living room. When every household had not yet seen black and white TVs, he already had a color TV.
Even the oldest automatic washing machine is available.
Wang Ziru was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Together with the equally curious and shocked little ones, she looked upstairs and downstairs, here and there. There was a tape recorder that played tapes in the room, a light green double-tub washing machine, and a small green refrigerator in the kitchen.
The refrigerator has three doors. It turns out that wealthy people in this era can preserve food for a long time and have access to iced soda or ice cream and other cold drinks at any time.
Wang Ziru and her children took a thorough tour of the new home. She suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Commander Duan always had Arctic Ocean soda and Coke in his car. It turned out that high-ranking military officials like them had money at home.
So life at home is so comfortable.
"Your unit has such small villas! I originally thought that this was also a family compound like the Ninth Division, but it turns out that this is a paradise on earth." Wang Ziru sighed with emotion.
Han Suijing led the mother and son around every room and said with a smile, "When this house was first built, we paid for it ourselves, so not every cadre can afford to live in such a nice house."
"So you paid for it yourself?!"
"Dad, which room will Mom and I sleep in from now on?" Baoer seemed to have entered a whole new world. He was so happy that he couldn't speak. He only came back to his senses when he heard the voices of his parents.
At this moment, they stood outside the study door. Han Suijing lowered his head and touched his son's thick black hair. "You are four years old now. You should sleep alone in your own room. You can't always sleep with your mother."
As he spoke, he took the boy and opened the door of a small bedroom next door, where the bed had already been made.
"You will live in this room from now on."
Wang Ziru also followed him in. After turning on the light in the room, she could clearly see the furnishings inside the room.
In addition to a single bed, the white-painted room also has a desk, a chair, and a small bookcase.
"The child is still young. Sleeping in such a high bed with no railings, will he roll onto the floor at night?"
Baoer nodded quickly and took her mother's hand, "I will definitely roll to the floor. Mom, please take me to sleep in this room."
Seeing the child being so attached to his mother, Han Suijing sighed softly. He could completely understand the child's feelings. When he lived in the countryside, the house was small and he couldn't live in his own room, but things were different now.
Immediately, she took the child's hand and patiently soothed the child's rejection of the unfamiliar environment:
"Baoer, you are a little man. You must sleep in your own room from now on. If you are scared in the first few days, Dad will accompany you at night."
"Okay! Dad, you can take me to sleep. Before, I always slept with uncle." Baoer saw that his father did not allow him to sleep with his mother, and he smiled and touched his head, knowing the current situation.
After convincing the child, the next step is to talk to the mother.
Baoer went downstairs to play by herself, and Han Suijing opened the master bedroom next to the study. "Come in, take a look at the furniture that needs to be added to the room, and I will buy it later."
When she reached the door of the room, Wang Ziru could already feel the aura of the master's room approaching.
There is also the faint masculine scent on Han Suijing.
"Is this your room?" She stood by the door, looking at the man standing in the aisle at the end of the big bed, biting her lip, "You should sleep in your own room. I only need a small room."
"You sleep here, and I'll sleep in the study." A hint of relief flashed across his eyes.
He would give her time to accept him as her husband again.
After visiting the bedroom, Wang Ziru went to take a look at the kitchen and found that there was a gas stove installed in the kitchen!
Cooking is much more convenient from now on, and I no longer have to cry all day long because of the smoke from burning beehive coal.
Wang Ziru had been sitting in the car for most of the day and felt uncomfortable in her buttocks. She came out of the kitchen and looked at the man standing in the living room who was changing the TV channel for the little girl. "Do you also use this gas stove to boil water?"
"right."
The man quickly switched to a clear table, then turned and walked to the kitchen door. "Do you want to heat water for a bath?"
"I'm dirty after sitting in the car all day. I'll wash Bao'er later." Wang Ziru couldn't tell him directly that she was menstruating. She felt very uncomfortable using sanitary paper. She had to wash herself thoroughly so that she could sleep well at night.
"You go out and watch TV with Bao Er. I'll boil some water. After dinner, take a short rest and then take a shower."
Wang Ziru nodded, looking at the man who seemed to understand life very well. He skillfully turned on the faucet to get some water, turned around and walked out. When she walked into the living room, she saw Baoer's little face staring blankly at the TV. He was completely shocked by this new life.
"Baoer, sit on the sofa and watch TV. Don't get too close."
He walked over, dragged the child back, and pressed him on the sofa.
After watching TV for a while, Song Jian came in with a tray containing several dishes. However, as soon as he entered the room, he looked for the leader. When he saw Han Suijing coming down from the upstairs, he said, "Leader, the commander wants you to come over."
"Oh! Got it. You stay here and have dinner with them. I'll be back soon."
Wang Ziru was busy helping to take out the dishes from the tray and put them on the dining table. She turned around and saw the man's strong back walking out the door. She asked, "Isn't he going to eat?"
"The commander asked him to come over and talk."
"Why don't you go after you eat? This guy is really in such a hurry."
Song Yan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the military family compound. The leader's military post is there. Even if it is the middle of the night, he must go there immediately if the commander gives an order."
"The troops still have to discuss work so late at night? This is too tiring." Wang Ziru said lightly, but she heard Song Yan say, "I guess, you should tell the leader about your affairs."
"What do we need to say? Does the commander still not allow us to live in the family compound?"
