Chapter 49

The beds in this room are very simple. They are bunk beds made uniformly by the troops, so they are very small.

It's just right for Lu Huaijing, a grown man, to sleep there, but with Tang Wan, it would be a bit crowded.

Tang Wan had already washed the bright red quilt cover she had bought before and put it in the space, and now it was covered with the bedding she used to sleep on at Tang's house.

"You still have training tomorrow, go to bed early."

Tang Wan climbed onto the bed with a red face, and suddenly felt a little nervous. Although her menstruation had not yet ended, nothing would happen between them.

But when she thought about the two of them sleeping together again, she felt her mouth a little dry.

Lu Huaijing went out for a while, and Tang Wan crawled into the quilt and hid in the corner.

"Daughter-in-law, drink it."

Unexpectedly, Lu Huaijing made her a large cup of hot brown sugar water. Tang Wan took it and drank it in small sips.

"Who taught you this?"

This man is better at flirting than the modern scumbags. Could it be that he had a girlfriend before?

"Every time my eldest sister came here, my mother would prepare brown sugar water."

Lu Huaijing was afraid that Tang Wan would misunderstand, so he explained it. When talking about Lu Huaili, Tang Wan was a little confused.

"Isn't your eldest sister also with the army? When you are free, invite her over for dinner."

Lu Huaijing's smile froze, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to my brother-in-law when we're done."

Seeing that his expression was not right, Tang Wan was puzzled. Why did it feel like the relationship between these brother and sister did not seem to be very good?

Forget it, it’s not her place to interfere.

Thinking of the original owner's parents, Tang Wan lowered her voice and asked him, "Would it be convenient for you to tell me the location of my parents?

I'm going out tomorrow, and if I have enough time, I'd like to sneak a look at them."

"Then you better be careful."

Lu Huaijing was actually a little worried, but he had a lot of tasks to do in the past two days, so he could only repeatedly instruct Tang Wan.

"They are in the Maozhuang Battalion, not far from where the troops are stationed."

"Okay, I'll make a note of that."

I have been very tired these two days, perhaps because it is a special period. After chatting about serious matters, Tang Wan felt very sleepy as soon as she hit the bed.

The tip of my nose is filled with Lu Huaijing's grass-like scent, which smells quite nice.

She fell asleep in a daze and didn't notice the helplessness in Lu Huaijing's eyes.

The little girl really has no defenses.

The bed was very small, and Lu Huaijing was afraid that he would squeeze her down, so he quickly held her waist.

Perhaps sensing the heat, Tang Wan, in her sleep, embraced Lu Huaijing like an octopus.

Lu Huaijing: …

I can't sleep anymore.

But the little girl's breathing was steady, her lips slightly pursed, and she looked...

Cough cough cough…

Lu Huaijing quickly retracted his gaze, closed his eyes and began to recite the troop formation silently.

He was indeed tired from the journey, and he gradually fell asleep smelling her fresh breath.

Both of them slept very well that night. When Tang Wan woke up, Lu Huaijing was no longer in the room.

She took out her watch and looked at it. It was only six o'clock. This guy got up really early.

After putting on her clothes in the dark, Tang Wan knocked on Tang Zhou's door and told him to lock it.

As soon as she arrived at the kitchen, she saw a full tank of water. It seemed that Lu Huaijing had picked it early in the morning.

This man is so thoughtful. Tang Wan felt so happy that she cooked a few boiled eggs for Tang Zhou on the coal stove.

Then he carried a basket and went to the back of the cafeteria that Lu Huaijing mentioned.

The supply truck for purchasing supplies is parked here. The supply truck is a large truck with a shed at the back that can accommodate people.

When she arrived, she was just a little warrior with a sunny smile.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to the city?"

"Um."

Tang Wan took out the cooked eggs from the space and handed one to the little warrior.

"Comrade, you haven't eaten anything this morning, right? Let's eat something together."

She didn't eat anything herself. She peeled an egg and started eating. The little warrior waved his hand quickly.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, but I've already eaten."

He refused to accept it, and Tang Wan had no choice but to force him. At this moment, Zhang Hongyan appeared with a basket.

"Big sister."

She smiled and said, "I wanted to go to your house to meet you, but I was afraid that you were not awake yet and I would disturb your rest.

I never thought I'd run into you here by such a coincidence."

"Sister-in-law, come up quickly."

Tang Wan quickly gave up her seat and let Zhang Hongyan sit down. She handed her the egg to eat, but Zhang Hongyan quickly refused.

"Oh, I've eaten this at home. You keep this expensive food for yourself."

Thinking about the difficulties of today, Tang Wan explained awkwardly: "I just came here and I have nothing at home.

My mother-in-law has been saving this egg for a long time and she is reluctant to eat it. She has nothing else to fill her stomach so she can only eat this first. "

"Who says it's not?"

Zhang Hongyan also started talking, and soon many military wives came into the car.

The two were new and not familiar with everyone, so a slight nod was considered a greeting.

This time, he did not run into Qiu Dazao, and the supply vehicle quickly left the unit smoothly.

The bus was not far from the nearest town, and it arrived at the nearest Shatu Town at 7:20.

The young soldier parked the car here, and the military wives came down one after another. Perhaps it was the act of giving him eggs in the morning that made the young soldier have a good impression of Tang Wan.

He reminded her, "Sister-in-law, if you take the bus back, you have to come to my place at nine o'clock."

"It's too early. We have a lot of things to buy and we may not be able to catch up."

Zhang Hongyan sighed. There was nothing at home and it seemed that she would have to spend all the money she had left.

"If you can't catch the bus, you can take a bullock cart to the nearby Maozhuang Brigade, and walk back to our place in half an hour from there."

The Maozhuang Brigade mentioned by the little warrior made Tang Wan's eyes light up slightly. That means after buying things, she could really go visit the original owner's parents on the way.

"Thank you, comrade."

After thanking the little warrior, Tang Wan and Zhang Hongyan walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative together.

It was still early and there were not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative. Tang Wan politely said to the members of the supply and marketing cooperative:

"Comrade, please bring me four large bowls, four small bowls, and eight pairs of chopsticks..."

She listed a long list of things: enamel cups, enamel basins, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice, flour...

She didn't have a salt shaker or a vinegar bottle. The salt and vinegar cost eight cents each, and she spent twenty cents each on the bottles.

Zhang Hongyan stared in amazement as Tang Wan took out the money and spent a total of fifteen yuan!!!

This does not include salt tickets, vinegar tickets, etc.

Although her family was not short of the money, she was still quite shocked by Tang Wan's generous tone.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you going to buy it?"

Tang Wan explained with a smile, "Huai Jing is a rough guy. He didn't even open fire before I joined the army.

So we have everything we need at home. Although it is a bit expensive, we have to buy it.”

"You're right."

Zhang Hongyan said she felt a little pain, but her family was in the same situation, with nothing.

However, she was more frugal than Tang Wan. For example, she only needed a small can of oil and salt, and half a bottle of vinegar.

Tang Wan was used to modern shopping, and she was annoyed to see Zhang Hongyan being so frugal.

Forget it, next time she can just sneak out from the space, it’s too lazy to go through the trouble.

The two of them bought all these things and Zhang Hongyan thought for a while and said:

"Big sister, we can still catch the bus back now. It's more convenient for us to take a bus with so many things."

This was exactly what Tang Wan wanted. She just wanted to separate from her, so she shook her head and said:

"Sister-in-law, you should go back first. I still have to send a letter to my family. I don't know when I will be done."

She can just clear out the "garbage" in the space.
