Chapter 32 The Enthusiastic Young Soldier and His Military Wife
They drove to the logistics department, where Carpenter Yang happened to be.
He was very enthusiastic towards them and told them they could choose any furniture there.
Gu Yuan let Lu Chiyu choose, everything according to her preferences.
Lu Chiyu knew that Gu Yuan would not say anything polite and would not refuse.
At that time, all the furniture was made of solid wood, and she liked every piece of it. In the end, she chose a 1.8-meter-long bed, a large wardrobe that was one person tall, a dressing table, and two chairs.
These are in the master bedroom.
Then I picked out a bookshelf, a large desk and two chairs, and planned to put them in the room next to the master bedroom and turn it into a study.
Then she only picked out a rectangular table and six chairs for the hall on the first floor. At present, she only thought of using this hall for dining and entertaining guests, so these were enough.
They have already bought enough furniture today, so it is not advisable to buy too much at once for fear that it will be too ostentatious. They can add more things slowly later.
Finally, Lu Chiyu also picked out a cupboard, four wooden barrels and some wooden basins, spoons, cutting boards and other miscellaneous kitchen utensils.
Gu Yuan also asked Carpenter Yang for an extra bathtub for Lu Chiyu to bathe, and added a large water tank that was more than three and a half people tall.
This water tank is made of clay. In addition to wooden furniture, the Logistics Department also has a small number of ceramic products such as clay tanks and jars.
Lu Chiyu's eyes lit up when he saw this and he took out a lot of ceramic jars to store seasonings.
When checking out, it turned out to be only fifty yuan. Only then did Lu Chiyu realize that the army would reimburse large items such as a bed, a wardrobe, and a table.
And the ones she picked didn't go beyond this range.
After paying the money and before they had time to load their things into the car, more than a dozen young soldiers arrived.
They were all soldiers under Gu Yuan. They came to help when they heard that the young couple came to the logistics department to buy furniture.
When they saw Lu Chiyu, the eyes of these little soldiers widened.
They had heard from their comrades guarding the gate that their commander's wife was as beautiful as a fairy from heaven, and they couldn't find words to describe her.
They originally thought that this was an exaggeration, but now they saw that Lu Chiyu was telling the truth.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" The young soldiers all saluted Lu Chiyu and greeted her.
"Okay, hello to you too." Lu Chiyu was startled by the sudden greeting, but he quickly reacted and replied with a smile.
Seeing Lu Chiyu's graceful and elegant appearance, the young soldiers had a higher opinion of her. She was worthy of being the wife chosen by their regiment commander.
"Then...then let's help you, Commander's sister-in-law, move your things." After the leading soldier finished speaking, he led everyone to help move things.
There were a lot of things, and after the car was full, the rest were moved by the young soldiers. Lu Chiyu sat in the passenger seat and followed Gu Yuan's car back.
When Lu Chiyu and Gu Yuan got home and had just moved most of the things in the car, some young soldiers arrived carrying furniture. The speed really surprised Lu Chiyu.
After moving the things, these young soldiers did not leave. A few of them stayed to help Gu Yuan set up the bed and arrange the furniture, while the rest borrowed tools to clear the weeds in front of and behind the house.
In less than half an hour, not only were the weeds in the front and back yards gone, but even the land in the backyard where Lu Chiyu was planning to grow vegetables was turned over.
There were two young soldiers in the middle who worked with Gu Yuan to fill the three water tanks in the kitchen.
Seeing this speed, Lu Chiyu was once again shocked by the physical fitness of these soldiers.
These people ran away after finishing their work, and she didn't even have time to treat them to wedding candy.
"Comrade Gu Yuan, they helped so much, but we didn't even let them drink a sip of water or give them any wedding candy. Isn't that a bit bad?" Lu Chiyu asked.
They were in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to boil some water, so they couldn't offer anyone a drink.
Gu Yuan shook his head: "It's okay, they are all elite soldiers who have followed me for many years, and there is no need to worry about each other.
I'll give out some wedding candies tomorrow, and then treat everyone to a meal another day after they've settled down.
I'm going to return the car now and get dinner from the cafeteria. What would you like to eat?"
"I'm not picky about food..."
Lu Chiyu had barely started to speak when Gu Yuan laughed and said, "Okay, I'll get you a portion of all the meat and vegetables from the cafeteria."
Lu Chiyu: "...No, no need. Just two meat dishes and one vegetable dish will do. No need to be extravagant."
Gu Yuan didn't say yes or no. He just smiled, nodded, said "hmm" and left.
After Gu Yuan left, Lu Chiyu started to boil water, one for them to drink and the other for bathing.
As soon as the fire started, someone knocked on the door.
Outside the door was a young woman who looked to be in her 30s. She had two thick black braids, a round face, and curved eyebrows. She looked like a cheerful person.
She was carrying a bamboo basket covered with a white cloth.
"You...you are Gu's sister-in-law? I'm the lover of Hai, the political commissar who lives next door to you. You can just call me Sister-in-law Hai."
As soon as Qian Fanghua saw Lu Chiyu, she was stunned by the fair-skinned and beautiful girl in front of her. She could hardly believe that the serious Captain Gu could find such a beautiful wife!
"Hello, Mrs. Hai, please come in and sit down." Hearing that they were next door, Lu Chiyu hurriedly invited her in.
Qian Fanghua was dazzled by the little girl's smile, and screamed like a groundhog in her heart, what a beautiful and well-behaved girl!
Coming back to his senses, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I just saw that you had just moved in and might not be able to start the stove, so I brought you two bowls of dumplings."
Without hesitation, he handed the basket in his hand to Lu Chiyu, and without waiting for anyone to speak, he ran to the opposite door, turning back and saying, "Sister-in-law Gu, come to my house when you have time."
Just as Lu Chiyu was thinking about whether to chase after them, two more military wives came towards her carrying baskets.
The visitor also came to deliver something, and Lu Chiyu had no way of refusing him, so he just put the thing down and left.
Lu Chiyu: ...
In the next ten minutes, she opened the door three more times, and each time there were military wives coming to deliver things, some alone and some in groups.
Looking at the more than ten "joining gifts" in the living room, Lu Chiyu fully felt everyone's enthusiasm. It seemed that her soldier brother was quite popular in the military region.
Finally, Gu Yuan came back, and Lu Chiyu told him about this and the identity of the person who delivered the gift.
After that, he asked, "Do we really want to accept so many things? Should we send them back?"
Lu Chiyu looked at the things everyone sent and found that most of them were food, such as eggs, bacon, vermicelli, dried seafood, etc. They seemed ordinary, but in this era, the most precious thing was food.
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay. This is a token of our appreciation. We can return the favor some other day. Let's eat."
I saw that he had ordered five meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and an egg soup.
However, of the five meat dishes, except for one braised pork and one sesame oil chicken, the remaining three are boiled seafood.
The taste of the boiled seafood is very ordinary, but because it is not polluted, it is very delicious and still edible.
While Lu Chiyu and the others were enjoying a sumptuous dinner, He Manman and her husband in the new residential building had nothing to drink!
