Chapter 82: Life in the Military Camp
After three days in the military camp, Luo Yue was used to the occasional whistle, as well as the orderly march and footsteps.
He was even happier when he arrived at the military camp because he could see Shu every day. Since he married Shu, they had been together less and less, and now he could see Shu every day, and he was very satisfied.
As for the harsh conditions in this military camp, that was secondary. It was not entirely difficult. In his opinion, it was more comfortable here than in the Liulin Brigade.
First of all, he didn't have to work to earn wages. In Liulin Brigade, he already lived the most carefree life in the whole village. However, he still had to go to the village to collect grass for pigs every day to earn wages.
Although he had gotten used to this kind of intense work after two years, who would want to work when they could just lie down? Now that he followed Shu to join the army, he was finally free from this job.
A few days were enough for him to infiltrate the group of military wives. Well... although he was a military wife of a different gender, they were all military wives, so no one should look down on anyone else.
In addition to Shu's important position in the female group, the military wives were also very friendly to Luo Yue, allowing him to easily integrate into the group. The military wives even taught him how to take care of Shu to make life more convenient and comfortable.
In his hometown, Grandma Liu and Mother Liu helped to grow vegetables, but when he arrived at the military camp, Luo Yue had to grow them by himself. He brought gifts and asked an old military wife from the countryside for advice, and then Luo Yue began his vegetable growing career.
Although the land is not tilled by me and the water is not picked by me, he sows the seeds and waters the plants, which can also be considered as growing vegetables by him.
In just a few days, Luo Yue made a good friend, that was Liu Haifeng's wife Ye Qiuhong. The two hit it off immediately. Both were delicate and loved to enjoy themselves, so they hit it off as soon as they met.
Ye Qiuhong's mother was a nurse at the military hospital. Once Liu Haifeng was injured, Ye Qiuhong's mother was in charge of him. After a long time, Ye's mother thought this guy was good, so she introduced him to her daughter.
The Ye family was well off. Mother Ye was a nurse, and father Ye also worked in the military hospital as a military doctor. The two had three sons before they had this daughter, so naturally they doted on her.
Later, she married Liu Haifeng, who took good care of this beautiful wife who was almost 18 years older than him, so Ye Qiuhong's life was comparable to Luo Yue's.
At first, she took care of Luo Yue because her boyfriend Liu Haifeng asked her to do so. After two interactions, she completely regarded Luo Yue as a good friend.
Ye Qiuhong's biggest worry was the acne on her face again, and Luo Yue's worry was similar to hers. He was always worried that there were too few styles of men's clothes in China, and the clothes in his wardrobe were all similar in length.
After the two became familiar with each other, they often discussed skin problems together and exchanged skin care experiences. Seeing that Luo Yue was troubled by the problem of clothing styles, Ye Qiuhong told Luo Yue about the clothing styles she had seen.
Luo Yue was very deft. He drew the style Ye Qiuhong mentioned on paper, modified it so that it would not look out of place on him, and finished it in one day.
He first showed it to Shu, who had experienced the baptism of the big explosion in later generations, so she didn't find Luo Yue's outfit strange and even praised him for his dexterity.
The styles of the clothes are not weird at all. They are just a little smaller in size than the current baggy clothes, and with some minor changes made to the details, they look much more refined than the current clothes.
It's not that I don't think it's bad for Luo Yue and Ye Qiuhong to talk together often. But when they get closer and listen, they wonder what the hell they are talking about.
It's a bit weird that you two young men and women don't talk about any taboo issues together, but discuss how to be beautiful and how to dress well.
But after they heard it more, they thought, what kind of magical topic is this? Can the skin really get better by doing this? Does this look really good?
Let’s go home and try it. Don’t talk about it. We will be good sisters in the future. Gender will not affect us becoming sisters.
If anyone dares to say that it's unbecoming for a man like Luo Yue to mingle with women again, they will tear her mouth off. Please just give me a few more useful methods.
In this way, Luo Yue easily made the military wives treat him as a good sister, and no longer thought it was strange for a man to be a military wife.
You can say that women can accept anything for the sake of beauty!
Time passed slowly as Luo Yue lived a happy life. Autumn and winter were about to begin, and the military wives began to prepare food and clothing for the winter.
Luo Yue naturally followed his sisters and started to prepare, starting with the food, sauerkraut, pickles and various sauces.
They just moved here this year, and they didn't have fresh vegetables to make pickled cabbage and salted vegetables. Luo Yue could find families with surplus vegetables to exchange with, and because Luo Yue had good connections, the vegetables he exchanged with almost filled up the corners of the yard.
He asked the logistics department to bring back a few jars, and then Luo Yue began his life of pickling vegetables. Originally, he was worried about when he would be able to pickle all the vegetables. As a result, Ye Qiuhong came with a few of the better military wives on the day of pickling the vegetables, and they had finished the work for Luo Yue in less than a day.
In order to thank the sisters for their help, Luo Yue gave them a jar of sauce when they left.
His sauce is different from the sauces that are everywhere on the streets now. He uses the recipe of the old mansion. The beef in it is all high-quality hunting and bison beef, not to mention the various side dishes and spices.
At that time, he used half a beef to get a large jar of sauce. Usually, he and Shu liked to scoop a spoonful of it with rice when they had meals. Now, after giving them some, he had half a jar.
Seeing Luo Yue's painful look, everyone knew that this was a good thing, so they quickly put it in their pockets and planned to go back and try it out.
After the food was ready, it was time for clothes. Shu had a military coat issued by the army, so he just needed to prepare something for her to wear underneath.
He had to prepare two cotton-padded clothes this year. He didn't prepare enough last year and almost got frozen to death. Otherwise, if the Liu family had let him spend the winter there, he might have frozen to death at the educated youth camp.
When he was in the Marquis' Mansion, he was treated like a nobleman and had never felt the cold. After his death, he came to this world. He had lived in H City, which is in the south, and the winter was not as cold as in An City.
When he came to the Liulin Brigade to work in the countryside, he didn't know that Anshi would have half a meter of snow and half a foot of ice in winter, so he didn't bring any cotton clothes. When winter came, he was shivering with cold.
Otherwise, if Shu hadn't discovered his embarrassing situation and brought him Liu Jianguo's big cotton-padded jacket to use for half a month, and she had bought him some cotton from Shanghai to make a cotton-padded jacket, he would have really been frozen to death in the winter in Anshi.
Luo Yue found some time to ask the military wives to go to the city to buy cotton and sweaters, and then returned to the family compound to find a place to gather together and prepare to make clothes.
And Mao Yiyue has also reappeared in the family compound of the Second Military Region in the North. Please refer to Liulin Battalion for his expression when you first see Luo Yue wearing a sweater.
However, the wives of the soldiers were much more resilient than the Liulin Brigade and soon came to their senses. Looking at the exquisite patterns woven by Luo Yue, they came forward to ask for guidance.
In this way, surrounded by other military wives, Luo Yue started his unique life as a military wife in the military area.
