Along the way, Wang Jianshe told Wen Nuan a lot about the army. The family quarters in the army were all small bungalows. Wang Jianshe had chosen a house and almost cleaned it up before returning home.
"Our house is halfway up the mountain. There are eight courtyards there. I chose the one on the second row. There is a well at the entrance. If I'm not at home, it will be more convenient for you to get water."
"There are only three families living there at the moment, and we are the fourth. Most of the military families live on the flat land at the foot of the mountain, so there are a lot of people. I thought you might not like it there, so I chose the halfway point of the mountain, where there are fewer people, and the sisters-in-law who live there are all very nice people," Wang Jianshe looked at Wen Nuan anxiously, afraid that she would blame him for making the decision on his own.
"Did you go out of your way to get to know our neighbors?" Wen Nuan looked at the man in surprise. If she didn't go out of her way to get to know them, how would she know whether those sisters-in-law were easy to get along with or not?
"Well, when I went to clean up the yard, I had some contact with those sisters-in-law..." Wang Jianshe was embarrassed to say that he had gone around all the places in the military family compound in order to find a comfortable yard and military families that were easy to get along with for his young wife.
"It's good, I like it very much." Wen Nuan looked at the man's nervous look and found it a little funny. She grabbed the man's big hand and stroked the palm covered with calluses. "You don't have to feel nervous. As long as you are here, I like it no matter where I am. Of course, I really don't like living in crowded places. The more people there are, the more troubles there are. The place you chose is very good!"
"As long as you like it!" Wang Jianshe held his young wife's hand and continued, "Because the house is halfway up the mountain, the wall is very high, and there is a small courtyard inside. I have already carried stones from the river to pave the road, and I have also prepared the land in the yard. You can grow vegetables or flowers when the time comes, and..."
Listening to the man talking about their future home in her ear, Wen Nuan felt warm inside. She seemed to have seen her own small yard. Time slipped away as they were talking warmly, and they arrived at their destination.
This train station is relatively remote, so not many people get off the train. Therefore, it is not as crowded as getting on the train. Wang Jianshe's back and hands were full of packages, while Wen Nuan only had two small bags in her hands. She followed Wang Jianshe closely and got off the train easily.
As soon as I got off the car, I heard a young voice shouting, "Company Commander!"
Following the voice came a dark-faced, strong and sturdy young man with a handsome look. He ran to Wang Jianshe and Wen Nuan in a few steps. Looking at Wen Nuan who was standing next to Wang Jianshe, he grinned with a mouthful of white teeth and said with a grin, "This is my sister-in-law, right? Hello, sister-in-law!"
Looking at the boy's dazzling white teeth, she smiled warmly: "Hello!"
"Still laughing! Hurry up and help me take the things!" Wang Jianshe saw the young man staring at his young wife and laughing, his face instantly turned dark, and he threw a big package into the young man's arms.
"Hehe," the young man was not angry. He smiled and walked forward to take the other packages from Wang Jianshe's hands.
"Okay, you just take the two big ones, I'll take the rest. Let's go!" Wang Jianshe said unhappily as he looked at the silly looks of his soldiers. He thought that he had been on vacation recently and these guys were probably slacking off again, so he had to practice more when he got back!
The young man had no idea what his company commander was thinking, and he ran towards the car with the package.
"You little brat!" Wang Jianshe turned around and took the small bag from Wen Nuan's hand, motioning for her to follow him. "This kid is called Lin Sanniu, and he's a soldier under me. Don't look silly, he's very talented. He's only 18 years old, and he's already a squad leader!"
Wen Nuan didn't say anything, but just listened to the man's chatter with great enthusiasm. From the man's words, she could clearly hear his love for the army and the soldiers under his command!
Lin Sanniu borrowed a jeep from the army to pick people up. After putting all the luggage away, Wang Jianshe helped Wen Nuan get into the car. It was the first time for Wen Nuan to ride in this kind of jeep in her life, but she didn't look around curiously.
After staying on the train for two days and two nights, Wang Jianshe felt extremely uncomfortable. He sat in the co-pilot seat and Wen Nuan sat in the back seat with a package of bedding next to her. Wen Nuan simply leaned on the package and fell asleep.
Seeing that his young wife had fallen asleep, Wang Jianshe lowered his voice when chatting with Lin Sanniu, and asked in a low voice about what had happened in the company while he was away.
It was already evening when they got off the train, and the sun was about to set. After more than three hours of bumpy ride, they arrived at the base. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Although their house was halfway up the mountain, the car could still drive up. Lin Sanniu drove the car directly to the gate of their courtyard. Wang Jianshe took out a key from the gate and opened the door. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything for the time being.
Lin Sanniu helped put the luggage into the main room and then left to return the car.
Wen Nuan was now so tired that her whole body ached. She had wanted to sleep but failed because of the bumpy ride in the car. Now she was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. Wang Jianshe felt amused and distressed when he saw his young wife dozing off. He quickly took the luggage to the main house to make the bed.
Wang Jianshe unpacked his luggage and made the bed neatly, then let Wen Nuan go to bed to rest. Wen Nuan rubbed her face vigorously to make herself more awake. "I haven't washed yet. I couldn't wash properly on the train these few days. I have to wash tonight."
"Okay, you sit down and take a rest first. I'll go to the kitchen to boil some water. It will be ready soon!" Wang Jianshe knew that his young wife loved cleanliness, so he hurried to the kitchen to boil some water.
Wen Nuan couldn't sit still in the room alone, so she followed him to the kitchen. It must be said that Wang Jianshe, this rough man, was really meticulous. All the pots and pans were already in the kitchen. A pile of firewood was neatly stacked in the pot hole under the stove. There was also a cupboard against the wall. Wen Nuan went over and opened it. There were some food and a few packets of noodles inside.
"When did you prepare all these things?" Wen Nuan asked in surprise, looking at the full cupboard.
"Before I went on vacation, I asked Captain Sun's wife Wang to prepare it for me," Wang Jianshe answered his young wife as he was lighting a fire. "After you wash up, have a good sleep. Tomorrow you can see if there is anything missing at home. There is a supply and marketing cooperative in the army. You can buy some daily necessities there. Go and have a look. If there is something missing, buy it first. If there is nothing, I will take you to the county town to buy it when I am on vacation."
"Um!"
The fire was burning brightly and the water was boiled in a short while. After a quick wash, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
Feifei looked at the two people who had fallen asleep and sighed, "Master, it's been a few days since I last thought of you..."
