It was her first time in the army, and everything she saw was new to her, whether it was the armored vehicles passing by from time to time, or the soldiers in navy uniforms marching in step, she was extremely curious about everything.
Not far away she seemed to see the mast of an enormous ship, which seemed almost towering into the clouds from her direction.
You can imagine how big that ship is!
The family compound is located in the northeast corner of the army and covers a large area.
After entering the courtyard, there are rows of houses. These houses are also divided into different sizes. Some are very large, with four or five rooms, or five or six rooms, while some are very small, with only one big bunk bed.
Zhou Tingyue took her to the bigger house that he had agreed to move to before leaving.
This house is located in the second row on the west side of the entire family compound.
When they arrived, Song Shiwei took a closer look at the building in front of him. It was one of those old-fashioned stone houses with gray tiled roofs. All the houses were of the same shape, except that some were bigger and some were smaller.
There are rows of them, with about a dozen sets in each row, and every four sets are separated by small paths.
There is a distance of about ten meters between the two rows of houses, so some families have cultivated two small vegetable plots on both sides of the door.
Zhou Tingyue also planted a lot of vegetables in the house he exchanged with others. There were tomatoes, cucumbers, beans and so on. They were all ripe and looked more juicy than the vegetables grown in modern greenhouses!
Song Shiwei was quite surprised.
When she pushed the door open, she was surprised by the layout of the house. There was a living room right inside, and the tables and chairs in the living room all looked newly made.
On the left side of the living room is the kitchen, and on the right side is a room of about ten square meters.
Inside the living room, there is a smaller room, about ten square meters.
The beds and cabinets in both rooms are new!
Zhou Tingyue put the luggage in the big room inside.
He felt a little embarrassed when he saw Song Shiwei's curious gaze.
"I just exchanged this room with another comrade before coming here. The furniture is all new! Is there anything else you need? Just tell me!"
Song Shi smiled and shook his head.
"No, it's fine!"
This was much better than she had imagined!
She thought it was impossible to live in such a big house on the island!
Having such a big house and so many new furniture proves that the man in front of me has put a lot of thought into it.
She looked around, as if she had thought of something.
"By the way, don't you have four more children? Why didn't I see them?"
Zhou Tingyue also looked around.
"Maybe he ran out to play? He hasn't come back yet!"
He checked the time and said, "Weiwei, you take a break first. I have to go to the team to report for leave. I'll make dinner for you when I get back! If it's too late, I'll just go to the cafeteria and get you some food!"
Song Shiwei quickly waved his hands.
"No, no, I'll do it! It's just right for you and the kids to come back and eat!"
As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
Zhou Tingyue hurriedly followed her in.
I didn't want to make her worry, after all, she had been busy all day and I thought she must be tired.
But seeing how excited she was, Zhou Tingyue had no choice but to give up. In the kitchen, all the pots and pans were prepared before he left.
There is a stove, but it has never been turned on.
He gave those little guys money and tickets so that they could go to the cafeteria to eat!
Fortunately, he bought a lot of coal before leaving.
He lit it with a match, helped her fix the stove, told her in detail where to put the rice, flour, and seasonings, and gave her some instructions before leaving.
Song Shiwei looked at the things in the kitchen and thought about it.
With white flour, cornmeal and rice, she can cook rice porridge. It has been a long time since she had the fragrant and sweet rice porridge cooked by herself.
The main reason is that rice and white flour were rare commodities in that era, and many families could not afford them. Everything else was coarse grains and mixed grains.
Old Mrs. Song at home is even more stingy and would never be willing to buy these fine grains.
For the staple food, you can have some cornmeal pancakes, but there are not many vegetables at home.
Song Shiwei thought of the small vegetable garden at the door.
She smiled immediately.
Those juicy cucumbers, tomatoes and beans outside are all ready to eat.
So he went out and picked a handful of beans and a few cucumbers.
I happened to meet Sun Meimei who was out fetching water from next door. She also followed her husband to join the army. She has been here for almost four or five years. Her child is about the same age as the third child in Zhou Tingyue's family, about ten years old!
When she saw Song Shiwei, she was stunned for a moment and couldn't react.
I wondered whose daughter-in-law this was? How could she be so pretty? Look at her little face and hands sticking out of her clothes, they seemed to be glowing white!
He is not very old and looks like he has just reached adulthood!
At this time, Song Shiwei also saw her and immediately smiled at her.
"Hello sister-in-law, I just came here to join the army today. My name is Song Shiwei!"
After hearing her words, Sun Meimei finally reacted and greeted her with a smile.
"No wonder I haven't seen you before, big sister, who is your man?"
I don’t know who is so lucky to marry such a young and beautiful wife.
You know, those who can accompany the army must be cadres above the level of battalion commander!
How come you are in your thirties or forties, but not this young!
As if she had thought of something, her mind suddenly lit up. If she were to ask who among these people was young and capable, it would naturally be Captain Zhou! Then she looked at the house opposite the vegetable garden where she was. Wasn't that the one Zhou Tingyue had just moved into?
