Chapter 45
"Sister-in-law, we will be neighbors from now on!"
Tang Wan was obviously very happy. Her house was next to Zhang Hongyan's. The gate on the other side was locked, and no one knew who it was.
"My sisters-in-law, here are the keys."
Xiao Du gave them the keys to their yards respectively, and actively carried Zhang Hongyan's luggage.
"Big sister, I'll go home and pack up first, and when you're free we can go shopping together."
"Okay, sister-in-law, you go back first. Shengli is very sleepy, you take care of him first."
Tang Wan also took Tang Zhou out of the car. As soon as she opened the door, Lu Huaijing moved the luggage into the car one by one.
Just after the move, Xiao Du came out from the next yard and said, "Deputy Captain, I'm going to return the car first. Don't forget to ask the leader to cancel your leave."
"I know."
Lu Huaijing spoke in a calm tone. After Xiao Du drove away, Tang Wan whispered:
"You have just been promoted to deputy group leader, and Xiao Du is also concerned about you, fearing that you will offend the group leader as soon as you take office."
"You think I'm mad at him?"
Lu Huaijing paused for a moment while holding the things in his hand, and explained helplessly, "I'm not angry.
Captain Xu is a man who is not afraid of life and death. He was born in a grassroots family just like us, and he has come this far through his own efforts.
Although his mother is not a good person, I believe he will not take revenge on her personally."
"Just keep it in mind."
Tang Wan's face flushed. It seemed that she had misunderstood him. This man had a broader mind than her.
Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, Lu Huaijing changed the subject and said in a low voice:
"After I'm promoted to deputy commander, my allowance will also increase, and I can support you and Zhou Zhou."
"I'm not after your money."
Tang Wan rolled her eyes at him. She had more wealth in her space than she could spend in several lifetimes, so she had no shortage of these things.
However, the higher allowance for men means that she can spend more money openly, which is a good thing.
The three of them entered the yard, and Tang Wan carefully looked at the place where she would be living for a long time.
The house is square, with the main room in the middle, two bedrooms on the right, and the kitchen and storage room on the left.
I don't know if anyone has lived in this house before, but it's been cleaned very well.
"Wife, you will arrange the accommodation."
Lu Huaijing moved all the luggage to the main room. The room was empty except for a table and two stools.
There is only one stove in the kitchen.
“No toilet?”
Tang Wan walked around the room and didn't see the bathroom. Lu Huaijing explained awkwardly:
"It's right behind our house."
Tang Wan: ???
Confusedly, she opened the back door and saw a very simple shed.
Right next to the wall at the back of the house, lift the curtain and you will see an earthen thatched hut.
Tang Wan: …
She said to Lu Huaijing without changing her expression: "I just thought this was a place to store firewood."
"Firewood can be stored under the eaves."
Lu Huaijing explained, "Our unit has a big mountain, and you can usually pick wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.
There are big animals in the mountains, don't go in easily."
"good."
Tang Wan's eyes sparkled. She didn't dare to let Lu Huaijing see her excitement, and said hurriedly:
"Then we sleep in the main room, and Zhou Zhou sleeps in the room next to us."
"OK."
Lu Huaijing rolled up his sleeves and hurried to help clean up, but Tang Wan thought of what Xiao Du said when he left.
"You should go and cancel your leave first. Zhou Zhou and I are in the room."
"It's okay. I'll help you clean up first. I may not be free tomorrow."
Lu Huaijing was speaking from his heart. The three of them worked quickly and cleaned up everything in the house in an hour.
Before leaving, Lu Huaijing said, "Wife, you and Zhou Zhou take a rest first. I'm going to call in my leave."
"Um."
Tang Wan fell into deep thought as she looked at the empty house, which was devoid of any pots, pans, or bowls.
She does have the space for these things, but the problem is how to get them out?
"Sister, can I go out and play?"
Tang Zhou was full of longing for the outside world. This was his first time in the compound and he was very curious about the outside world.
"Can."
Tang Wan took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from her luggage and stuffed them into his hand.
"But don't walk too far, and don't play for too long. Come back early."
"Don't worry, sister. I'm just going out to get familiar with the area."
Tang Zhou runs fast, and it is also more convenient for Tang Wan to enter the space. The pots in the mall are new and good, and they are from later generations.
This cannot be taken out, otherwise Lu Huaijing will see it at a glance.
Got it!
Tang Wan took out the pots, pans, and utensils she had collected from the Tang family. She would find an excuse to go out and buy something when Lu Huaijing had training tomorrow.
Then take these things out and use them.
Thinking of this, she sorted out some things that could be used in this era and thought of the original owner's parents.
Tang Wan felt a pang in her heart and packed another basket, which contained some rice and flour in addition to the bills.
After thinking for a while, Tang Wan added some steamed bread, dried bread and eggs.
If she has a chance to see her parents, she can give it to them secretly at any time.
After sorting these out, Tang Wan thought of the vegetable seeds given by Wang Dani, and couldn't help but happily take them to the fields outside the mall.
She really didn't know how to farm, so she just picked up a vegetable seed at random, dug a hole and threw the seed in.
Because she had no experience, she was afraid of wasting the seeds, so she planted a little bit at random at first.
Then he took the opportunity to clean up the wild boar he had killed earlier, but he wasn't done yet.
She heard the sound of the courtyard door opening outside and hurried out of the space.
It turned out that Lu Huaijing had returned, holding a pot, several bowls, and an aluminum lunch box filled with rice.
"Let's eat in the cafeteria today. I'll try to get some rice and grain tomorrow."
"No need for you to be busy."
Tang Wan took the things from his hand and said, "Everything is missing at home. I can just buy them bit by bit."
"Thank you for your hard work, daughter-in-law."
Lu Huaijing did not force her, but carefully explained to her, "The army canteen has a car that goes to the city to buy vegetables every day.
But it's a bit early, we have to leave at 6:30, you can take a bus.
Sorry, I just took a day off and I will be a bit busy these days."
"It's okay. I can do it."
Tang Wan thought to herself that you should be busy so that she can smuggle things out of the space.
If he followed her, it would be difficult for her to take it out.
"I'm sorry for wronging you."
Lu Huaijing took out the allowance he had just received from his pocket and said, "This is the allowance note I just received. You can use it to buy things for the family."
"Why so many?"
Tang Wan took a look and it seemed that there was more than fifty yuan, and there was also a lot of military ration coupons.
"The deputy head's allowance has increased to seventy-one months."
The corners of Lu Huaijing's mouth turned up slightly, like a big wolfhound seeking praise and award, and Tang Wan's eyebrows were wrinkled.
“You’re awesome.”
Such straightforward praise made Lu Huaijing's ears slightly red. He quickly changed the subject, "It's time to eat. Where's Zhou Zhou?"
"He's out there, I'll go call him!"
Tang Wan took out ten yuan and handed it to Lu Huaijing, "Men should keep some money on them for pocket money."
"No, I don't usually need it."
Lu Huaijing confiscated it and said, "I will be with my wife even on vacation. She will give me money."
It has to be said that Lu Huaijing gave Tang Wan a great sense of security. She walked with joy, but when she found Tang Zhou, her face darkened.
Because at that moment Tang Zhou was fighting with a kid.
