The courtyard in the military area is different from the small courtyard in Lujia Village. It is a low fenced courtyard with three small rooms. The kitchen and toilet are also red brick and tile houses. The small courtyard in Lujia Village has a high green brick wall and a thick wooden gate. This courtyard has a low wooden door. However, this is a military area and the security should be good. There is no need for a high wall at home.
Jiang Chunzao thought about it and walked around the yard. He thought this yard was pretty good. It had a large area, more than half an acre. Lu Lin said that it rained a lot in this military area and the land was fertile. If he cleaned up the yard and planted some fruits and vegetables, he wouldn't have to worry about fruits and vegetables at home.
Jiang Chunzao finished strolling in the yard when her monkey-like second brother Jiang Chunyu came running back with his two kids, yelling that they were hungry. She realized belatedly that it was already noon. Fortunately, she had gone to the county today and had bought rice, flour, grain, oil and everything else. The three members of the Jiang family had already had lunch in the county, so they were not hungry at the moment. She made a simple lunch for the three kids.
Jiang Chunyu and his two kids wolfed down their lunch, and the three kids ran out to play like monkeys that could not be caged. Jiang Chunyu and his family of three washed and rinsed the dishes at home, and the afternoon passed like this.
When it was getting dark in the evening and Lu Lin returned from the army, the Lu family's yard, which was originally empty, was now full of things. The quilts and sheets drying in the yard, and the pots of vibrant roses in the corners of the wall made the whole house full of the atmosphere of life.
Lu Lin entered the house, looked at his wife busy in the kitchen, heard the children's laughter, and his heart was filled with sweetness and happiness.
Jiang Chunzao, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out with a spoon in her hand and called her family to eat. As soon as she went out, she saw Lu Lin standing in the yard like an idiot, looking at her lovingly.
Maybe it was because it was too dark, but the careless Jiang Chunzao couldn't see anything clearly. He just saw Lu Lin standing there like a fool, saying casually:
"You're back. The meal is ready. Why don't you go wash your hands and eat? What are you doing standing there like a fool?"
After saying this, Jiang Chunzao rushed into the main room. From the room came the voice of Grandma Jiang, who seemed to be asking who the young lady had just talked to. Jiang Chunzao muttered something about Lu Lin standing in the yard like a fool, not knowing what he was doing.
The affectionate land company commander: ...
Tonight's dinner was homemade meat sauce, freshly-cooked cornmeal cakes, and a pot of mung bean soup. After dinner, the family washed up and went to bed refreshed.
During dinner, Jiang Chunyu muttered about the mosquitoes in the house at night. Lu Lin rolled up the mosquito net that he had washed and dried during the day for the family to use. The third child was so happy that he somersaulted on the kang.
Jiang Chunyu played with the two kids for a while before going to sleep.
In the room, Jiang Chunzao had washed up and had some free time, so he took out a novel he had read when he was in school and started reading. When Lu Lin returned to the room, he saw his young wife reading a novel on the bed with her white and tender legs raised.
The captain's dark eyes deepened, and he immediately blew out the light, hugged his little wife and went to fight.
Jiang Chunzao, who was turned over and over again in one night: QAQ
~
As expected, the next day Jiang Chunzao woke up late again in the face of the two kids' curious eyes. However, the kids' mother had already developed an extremely thick skin. Facing the two kids' inquiring eyes, she was not ashamed at all.
Even so, when the mother was cooking lunch and going out to get some water, she overheard Shitou and Jasmine talking to each other, asking if mom and dad had fought with the goblins again last night. It seemed that dad had fought with the little goblin and won, but mom must have lost the fight with the big goblin, otherwise dad would be full of energy and mom would be listless when she woke up in the morning...
Jiang Chunzao blushed and became angry that night like a tigress. She kicked Captain Lu to the ground and made him sleep on the floor.
The company commander worked on the floor all night feeling wronged, and went to the army the next day in a listless mood. That night, Jiang Chunlin, who had been busy in the army for several days, finally came to his sister and brother-in-law's house with some things in his hands.
Grandma Jiang and her husband hadn't seen their eldest son for a long time, so they prepared many delicious dishes early in the morning, waiting for Jiang Chunlin, who was dressed in military uniform. Grandma Jiang, who said she wouldn't cry, burst into tears immediately, and even Grandma Jiang, who was usually taciturn, had tears in his eyes. Lu Lin thought he wanted his wife to persuade his parents-in-law, but when he turned around, he saw his wife crying. She was the one crying the hardest in the family.
Jiang Chunyu, who was still heartless, jumped up and down excitedly when he saw his heroic elder brother, and shouted that he wanted to join the army and serve his country like his elder brother. Shitou and Moli's two children also said that they wanted to join the army like their uncle in the future.
Sanwa's excited look made the Jiang family burst into laughter. Jiang Chunlin stayed at his sister and brother-in-law's house for one night and hurried back to the army the next day.
Grandma Jiang and her family of three stayed in the military area for a week. She helped her daughter clean up the house, met her eldest son again, and thought about the pile of housework. The family of three quickly took the train back home. When the family left, they were sad again.
After his parents and brother passed away, Jiang Chunzao was a little unable to react for several days. Several times, when Lu Lin came home, he saw his young wife picking vegetables, and she looked at the empty yard with a look of loss.
Lu Lin pursed his lips, and the next day he went home to pick up a small nest of chicks. Jiang Chunzao looked at the chicks chirping and walking around in the yard with surprise, and asked Lu Lin where he got them from. She had always wanted to bring a nest of chicks home to raise, but had never found the right opportunity.
Now that Lu Lin was brought here, she was very happy. Not only Jiang Chunzao, but also Shitou and Moli were very happy. Lu Lin washed his face in the yard and replied that he bought it from a fellow villager's house when the army was on a mission.
No matter where he got it from, Jiang Chunzao was very happy. He changed his usual melancholy look and prepared food for the chicks with great energy. Xiao Shitou and Jasmine also helped.
The mother and her two daughters were talking in the yard, and Lu Lin saw that the smile on their lips had deepened a lot.
Since the family had this litter of chicks, Jiang Chunzao's mood has improved. He is busy all day taking care of the children at home and taking care of the chicks.
After the chicks at home grew up, Jiang Chunzao gradually adapted to life in the military area, and his relationship with the sisters-in-law in the military area became better and better.
Jiang Chunzao got up early that day, went to the yard, chopped chicken food and sprinkled it in the chicken coop, then took a bucket to the yard to fetch water for washing clothes. When she got to the yard, she saw that the big water tank in the yard was full of water. It seemed that Company Commander Lu had filled it with water before going to the army.
Jiang Chunzao was feeling happy. He washed and hung up all the dirty clothes at home. He had just sat down on the rattan chair in the yard to rest for a while when Mrs. Zhao from next door came to visit with a basket of vegetables.
Jiang Chunzao hurriedly brought out a rattan chair from the house, and poured some hot tea and homemade snacks for Sister Zhao to drink. Sister Zhao put down the basket, sat on the rattan chair, took a sip of the hot tea, and sighed:
"Chunzao, your yard is really clean. This rattan chair is so comfortable to sit on. Did you buy it from Xiaolu?"
Jiang Chunzao smiled and nodded:
"These chairs are a pair. Lu Lin bought them from a second-hand market a while ago."
"Hey, if you don't say you married well, look at the dozen or so families in our military region. Which man is as considerate as Xiao Lu? He helps you with work and takes care of your children. You really married the right person."
Jiang Chunzao was very happy in his heart, but he still looked humble:
"Sister-in-law, why don't you tell me that Captain Zhao comes home every day to either help you cook or help you dive. Captain Zhao is so considerate, sister-in-law is lucky."
Mrs. Zhao thought of her man, took a bite of snack, smiled and sighed:
"My wife is not bad, just a little worse than Xiao Lu. Alas, our life is good compared to your sister-in-law Fang. I don't know what kind of fate your sister-in-law Fang has. She has been in the old Fang family for so many years. She finally got rid of that annoying Fang Man. Now there is another annoying old woman in the family. What kind of life is she leading?"
Jiang Chunzao blinked before he reacted. The Fang Man that Sister Zhao was talking about was the unlucky woman who had been coveting Captain Lu for decades in her previous life. After Lu Lin and Jiang Chunzao divorced in the previous life, Fang Man had been jumping around Lu Lin like a grasshopper, thinking of marrying into the Lu family and becoming Captain Lu's wife.
However, Fang Man tried hard for decades in her previous life but ultimately failed. In this life, Jiang Chunzao was reborn and was in love with Captain Lu, as good as a real person. So she no longer cared about Fang Man's affair.
What's more, now that Fang Man is about to get married, she cares even less about her.
However, what Jiang Chunzao couldn't understand was, how come Fang Man, who had been obsessed with Captain Lu all her life, was getting married so easily in this life?
Jiang Chunzao thought about this question for several days, and finally got the answer from Mrs. Zhao.
"Chun Zao, you don't know her, she's Fang Man from the old Fang family. I heard she got married only after she got pregnant."
Mrs. Zhao spoke mysteriously, and Jiang Chunzao, who was eating snacks, almost choked. "You got married after your belly got big?"
"No, people outside said that Fang Man, for some reason, got drunk and slept with a male teacher in school one night.
Fang Man's belly is getting bigger. The male teacher is a man in his thirties. He is said to be from a poor family, but he is a nice guy and has always wanted to start a family. Seeing Fang Man's belly getting bigger, he went to the battalion commander's house to propose marriage. Fang Man was reluctant at first, but later, when her belly got too big to look at, she had no choice but to agree.
Mrs. Zhao spoke one word after another, leaving Jiang Chunzao stunned. No, how could this matter be so exciting?
