The housing resources of Unit 738 are not very tight.
Those at the company commander level can be assigned to single dormitories.
Chen Nongmo followed his partner into his room and was not surprised to see that the room was clean and tidy.
"Sit on the bed. The stool is cold." After looking around the dormitory, Shao Zheng pointed to the clean bed.
Chen Nongmo didn't rush to sit down, but instead grabbed the person who wanted to pour him some water, and unexpectedly found that his hand was warm.
Shao Zheng was already a little excited because his girlfriend came to his private territory. Now that he was actively holding hands, his Adam's apple rolled. He instinctively turned his hand to wrap the warmth in his palm: "What's wrong?"
"You were wearing so little, I thought you would be cold, so I came to your dormitory to get my military coat." What kind of magical creatures are men? In weather of minus ten degrees Celsius, they are not cold even though they are wearing such thin clothes.
Shao Zheng suddenly realized why his girlfriend suddenly asked to go to the dormitory. He pinched her face and said with a smile: "I'm not cold, and I'm not wearing enough clothes."
Chen Nongmo was really envious of this. She didn't even wear a thick coat, so how could she say she was wearing a lot? She was the type who would wrap herself up like a ball when she left the warm house. She was very afraid of the cold.
"Would you like some milk?" Shao Zheng took out some milk from the cupboard and asked, but he had actually already started making it.
Seeing this, Chen Nongmo didn't say anything else, but began to observe the furnishings in the man's room, thinking about what to bring over later.
"Here, it's not hot anymore." It was cold and the temperature dropped quickly. Shao Zheng handed the teacup to the little girl and motioned her to drink it quickly.
Chen Nongmo moved aside to make room for an empty seat before taking the teacup and drinking from it while asking, "How long can you be away?"
Shao Zheng sat down next to the little girl, put his arm around her waist, and led her to his side before replying, "No need to go over there, Political Commissar Hu will take over from behind. But I have to go to the regiment in half an hour."
"Then help me move the things over after dinner."
Hearing this, Shao Zheng felt a hidden joy in his heart again, and the big hand around the person's waist tightened unconsciously.
Shao Zheng thought that his girlfriend's decision to live with him was a sign that their relationship had taken a step further.
Thinking of this, not wanting to shock the little girl with his fantasies, he suppressed the joy that was about to overflow in his chest and responded calmly, "Okay."
Chen Nongmo finished drinking the milk in the teacup before he realized, "Do you like drinking milk now?"
Shao Zheng shook his head honestly: "No, it was prepared for you. It was already prepared before you came to the army."
Chen Nongmo blinked, stared at the teacup on the bedside table for a while, then turned back to look at the man, and asked with a smile: "What if I didn't come?"
"Don't worry, you'll come eventually. I was planning to prepare some delicious food to attract you over." He had never wavered in his desire to bring his little girl to his dormitory, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
According to his plan, he would have to wait at least another month.
Thanks, Brother San!
Chen Nongmo slapped the man and said speechlessly: "What kind of image do I have in your eyes? Can I be coaxed away by a little delicious food?"
Shao Zheng chuckled, held her hand, kissed her delicate fingertips, and said with some pride: "The main reason is that I am the bargaining chip."
“.”
= In the evening, Chen Wuwen and Shao Zheng had not returned yet.
Chen Zongze took the third son Chen Huai to the kitchen to get honeycomb coal.
Dinner was ready, and the four women simply sat on the small sofa and chatted.
Except for Bian Jiuxiang, who was chewing some dried sweet potatoes to kill time, the rest of the people were all busy with their work.
Chen Nongmo is good at knitting sweaters, Cao Qiuhua is good at sewing shoe soles, and Yun Chun is good at brewing wine, but she is not good at these things at all, and she doesn't want to be idle, so she finds a small hammer to crack the walnut kernels and put them into a glass bottle.
Time passed unknowingly. Yun Chun, who had knocked off half a bottle of walnut kernels, seemed to have made up her mind: "Aunt, there is something I need to explain to you. Chen Huai said that you will definitely agree, but I still think I should explain it to you alone."
Cao Qiuhua adjusted the position of the thimble and inserted another stitch. When she felt more comfortable, she looked at her third daughter-in-law and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yun Chun pursed her lips, feeling a little nervous. "It's my family's situation. I took my mother's surname. The Yun family has been brewing wine for generations for hundreds of years. It was selected as tribute wine several times and passed down to my grandfather's generation. He only had two children, my mother and uncle."
At this point, Yun Chun paused, without looking at the reaction of his future mother-in-law, and continued while burying his head in cracking walnuts: "During the war several decades ago, my grandfather closed the shop and planned to avoid the limelight. Unexpectedly, the policy changed so quickly, and he has not been able to get back on his feet until now. My uncle didn't like wine, and he joined the army at the age of 18. He died on the battlefield when he was 23. My grandfather didn't have the idea of passing it down to sons but not daughters, and he taught my mother to make wine since she was a child, but my mother was in poor health and had no talent. No matter how hard she tried, she was still a little lacking. Later, my mother got married and gave birth to me, and she died a few years later. My grandfather had given up the idea of passing on the Yun family wine until he found that I was very talented, and I really liked these things, so he begged my grandfather to teach me. So I grew up with my grandfather until I was 18, when my grandfather died of illness and returned to my father. When my grandfather was dying, I promised him that I would make the Yun family wine glorious in my lifetime, and I also promised him that when I have children in the future, one of them must take the mother's surname."
At this point, Yun Chun seemed to feel a dry throat. She paused for a few seconds and then hurriedly looked at her future mother-in-law and added, "I know this is a bit difficult, but I didn't deceive Chen Huai's feelings. I mentioned this to him on the first day I decided to pursue him. I don't mean to be pitiful. I just think that we should become a family, and I should tell you about my general situation."
She naturally knew that she didn't have to say it now, and she could just wait until after she gave birth to the baby before asking Chen Huai.
Precisely because he cares about him too much, Yun Chun is reluctant to put any effort into him, including his family members whom he cares about.
After the third daughter-in-law started speaking, Cao Qiuhua stopped what he was doing and listened attentively.
It was not until she heard the rest that her expression changed. She looked at the third daughter-in-law for a while before asking uncertainly, "You mean, the third brother you're pursuing?"
Yun Chun was stiff and ready to accept any criticism. She looked at her mother-in-law and didn't understand why she only caught the least important sentence in her lengthy narration and still admitted honestly: "I was the one who pursued him."
After saying this, he added awkwardly amid the surprised expressions of several people: "I pursued her for more than half a year before Chen Huai agreed."
Even though she is the biological mother and all her children are excellent, Cao Qiuhua still couldn't help smacking her lips, always feeling that her third daughter-in-law took the third child too seriously.
As the man's mother, Cao Qiuhua couldn't say anything against her will, such as saying that she didn't like her daughter-in-law paying so much attention to her son.
But she did feel that this girl was too tense.
He wanted to give his third daughter-in-law some advice, but he was worried that since they had just met, he might not be able to strike the right balance and end up making his third daughter-in-law overthink things.
Thinking of this, Cao Qiuhua swallowed the words of comfort that were about to come out of his mouth, thinking that it would be more appropriate to talk to the third brother another day.
But there are some things she can express her opinion on now.
Cao Qiuhua smiled and looked at the nervous third daughter-in-law: "It doesn't matter whose surname the child has, or how many have your surname. They are all your children anyway, so just discuss it among yourselves."
Yunchun felt even more confused. Nowadays, most Chinese people believe that children take the man's surname, and only in very rare special cases do they take the mother's surname.
For example, Yunchun’s mother had a hard time giving her the surname Yun.
So, she really didn't expect that her future mother-in-law would be so nonchalant.
Don't you want to make things difficult for him? The third son's wife looked young and like a doll. Even with a blank expression, she looked pretty and cute. Cao Qiuhua couldn't help it. She raised her hand and poked her face, saying with a smile, "You should communicate more with the third son on weekdays. Didn't he tell you that the second son has my last name?"
Yun Chun was even more confused after hearing this, and he just responded instinctively: "I know he has a brother in J City, but I have never met him, and I don't know if he has your last name."
After Cao Qiuhua briefly explained why Cao Liu took his last name, he smiled and said, "What I just said is true. I'm not trying to comfort you. You can give your child whatever last name you want. Our family doesn't care about that."
Chen Nongmo took a few walnuts from the small jar, gave one to the eldest sister-in-law, and said, "Yes, third sister-in-law, you and third brother can just like it."
"Thank you." After a long silence, Yun Chun, who didn't know what to say, choked up slightly and thanked solemnly.
Outside the door, I met a few men who were coming back together. As they carefully piled the honeycomb coal under the shed, I overheard the conversation of the women.
Chen Wuwen and Shao Zheng both looked at Chen Huai with a sour look, from head to toe, leaving no part untouched.
The woman took the initiative to pursue him! How envious!
"Ahem. What are you looking at?" Chen Huai became a little stiff as they stared at him.
Shao Zheng lowered his voice and asked, "Is it really Yunchun who pursued you?"
Hearing this, Chen Huai's face turned red, and he said, "Yes."
Chen Wuwen was incredulous: "Did you really let someone chase you for half a year?"
Chen Huai scratched his head and said in a muffled voice, "Jiujiu's conditions were too good. I thought she was joking at first, but when I was sure she was serious, I agreed immediately."
Everyone understood what he said. He also liked the girl, but he had some concerns before.
As the pursuer, Chen Wuwen felt even more jealous.
But when his eyes swept over the equally sour Old Shao, he perked up again and asked casually, "When are you planning to get married?"
Chen Huai didn't realize his elder brother's sinister intentions, and said honestly, "It's all right. The brigade commander has agreed, and Yunchun has met her parents now, so we can get married anytime."
Shao Zheng failed to control his strength and crushed the coal in his hand.
Jealousy can make a person look unrecognizable.
