"Jiaojiao, just stay at my house. You will be a member of our Lu family sooner or later anyway, and no one will gossip about you if you live at my house. Just stay here and keep your aunt company. Once the marriage report is approved, we will arrange for you and Yunshan to get married immediately."
Shen Jiaojiao looked at Lu Yunshan shyly, and agreed with a pinched voice, "I will follow the arrangements of my uncle and aunt."
Hearing this, the smile on Lu Qi's face widened a little, "This is a real child."
Shen Qingqing also settled down in Wang Saozi's house. Wang Saozi was cheerful and enthusiastic. As her husband now, she and Shen Qingqing got along like one person.
After the two of them finished their meal, Wang Saozi pulled Shen Qingqing to sit down. Almost all the people living in this compound were family members of the army. Where there were people, there would be disputes. Moreover, there were more women in the family compound. It was inevitable to deal with people, but not everyone talked to Wang Saozi like this.
"Xiao Shen, I heard that you are from Yuncheng. Yuncheng is a good place. Although the conditions here are a bit difficult, it is not as difficult as you think. The most important thing is that we can be with our own men and have someone to take care of us. It is better than staying alone in your hometown after getting married and not seeing each other many times a year. Don't you think so?"
As Wang Saozi spoke, she also went to secretly observe Shen Qingqing's reaction. Haicheng and Yuncheng are far apart, and the climates are different. She didn't know if the new comrade Shen could persist. After staying here for a long time, many new wives couldn't stand the hardships here, and shouted that they wanted to go back after a few days.
She was also worried. Comrade Xiao Shen had delicate skin and was thin. It was not as convenient here as in the city. There were thunderstorms every now and then, and life was not convenient. Once on the island, he could not leave at will.
But she still sincerely hoped that Comrade Xiao Shen could stay. Deputy Head Zhou was a middle-aged man, 25 years old this year, and had long reached the age for marriage. So Sister Wang wanted to tell Shen Qingqing everything she knew, hoping that she could stay.
"Weiwei, you heard from Deputy Captain Zhou that the furniture and other things have not been purchased yet, right? That's right, sister-in-law knows someone here who knows some carpentry work. If you need it, I'll take you out to ask. We should buy it as soon as possible. Carpentry work cannot be completed in a few days."
Shen Qingqing was also worried that there were not many places to buy furniture on the island. When she heard what Mrs. Wang said, she felt just like someone was giving her a pillow because she was sleepy. She was sincerely grateful to Mrs. Wang and quickly agreed.
Seeing that she agreed, Wang Saozi continued to tell her about the places where she could buy things on the island. Grain, vegetables, grain and oil could be bought at the Logistics Department with money and tickets, but there were too many wolves and little meat, and it was not always possible to rob. As for other daily necessities, they could also be exchanged with industrial tickets. Although Shen Qingqing knew all this, there was someone who could tell her everything in detail.
She was still very moved.
After talking about the most important things, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, Wang's wife asked in a very worried tone, "Xiao Shen, you may not know that we women who follow the army also have to work sometimes. Some logistical work is left to us. After all, women can hold up half the sky. Men are on missions to protect the country, and we can't be idle, right? However, this job is not an easy one. Sister-in-law is afraid that you can't handle it, but we can get paid for our work, so you can rest assured."
Fearing that Shen Qingqing would quit after hearing this, Wang's wife immediately added, "We only have this little bit of money here. It's better for two people to earn the salary than one person. Don't you think so? If it were outside, many people would fight for the same job. Although it's a bit hard here, if we work hard, we can still earn 20 to 30 yuan a month."
Shen Qingqing naturally knew all this, but she still nodded in cooperation, "I understand, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not afraid of hardship."
——
Zhou Yuanzheng and Lu Yunshan submitted their marriage reports together, but the nature of the army was special, especially since one of them was a deputy regiment commander and the other was a deputy battalion commander. The organization would send someone to investigate carefully and verify their identities before approving them, so Shen Qingqing and Shen Jiaojiao's marriage would have to wait for some time.
Shen Qingqing and Wang Saozi get along well. Wang Saozi has a cheerful and enthusiastic personality. She is eager to have someone of the same age to keep her company. Shen Qingqing is humble and hardworking, so Wang Saozi naturally likes her. She has also come from afar to join the army, and she doesn't have anyone familiar on the island. Now, the two of them are neighbors. Wang Saozi is eager for Shen Qingqing to get married quickly so that they can be companions in the future. The men's mission schedules are irregular, ranging from half a month to several months. It is common for them to go on missions without any news. It is inevitable to feel lonely when staying at home alone.
There are two new young ladies in the island troops. I heard that they are going to marry Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou and Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, which has attracted a lot of attention.
