Chapter 128 Chapter 128 Lively daily life.
Several military wives lived close to each other. Mu Mian didn’t know them, but Wen Chen naturally knew them, so he briefly introduced them.
Mu Mian followed suit and said hello.
One of the oldest-looking military wives was named Ge Xiuqing. Her husband was named Fan Yongwang, a regiment commander, and he was in the same regiment as Mu Zhuo.
The previous deputy head of the group retired, and Mu Zhuo has been partnering with Fan Yongwang since he took over.
Ge Xiuqing was quite familiar with Wen Chen and the others, and said in a refreshing tone, "You guys take care of your own things. When you have time, come to my sister-in-law's house."
Mu Mian smiled at the man and said, "Okay, I will definitely bother my sister-in-law next time."
The other people didn't ask much. They were curious, but after all, the whole family had just arrived and they had so much luggage, and it was obvious that they had a lot of work to do. They were quite considerate.
While they were talking, Xixi and Mu Fugui, the grandfather and grandson, were hugging each other. When Xixi saw that her aunt didn't talk to the other adults, she came over immediately and stood next to Mu Mian, with Eleven on the left and right.
Mu Mian moved the little girl and touched the dog's head.
Xixi tilted her head back and said, "Auntie, you guys are so late. I've been waiting for twenty-seven and a half days!"
Mu Mian laughed out loud, "You count so accurately."
It's ok as long as there are both zeros and integers.
Xixi: "Yes, my mom taught me to count. I write one a day."
Comrade Mu Fugui praised immediately, "Hey, our eldest granddaughter is amazing!"
Xixi had a proud look on her face, and then she realized something, turned around and pulled the kid Dong Lezhang next to her over.
The three-year-old boy was chubby and might be a little shy. When Xixi was talking just now, he hid behind and peeked at Mu Mian and the others.
It's so small, shy and curious, just like the kitten that hides in the corner and sticks its head out to look when a stranger suddenly comes to the house. It's very cute.
Kids of this age are cute as long as they don’t make any noise.
Xixi acted like an older sister, "Aunt, this is my brother Le Zhang."
Mu Mian naturally knew and recognized him at a glance. She had seen the photo of Brother Dong Er, and the child looked very much like his father.
Xixi held Dong Lezhang's hand and said, "This is my aunt. You can also call me aunt, brother Lezhang."
Little Dong Lezhang whispered, "Auntie~"
Mu Mian was amused by the serious way his eldest niece introduced the children. Just as he was about to search his pocket for candies for the little kids, little Dong Lezhang suddenly ran towards the door.
The little boy ran and shouted, "Mom~"
Mu Mian turned her head and saw her sister-in-law and Dong Erge's wife coming down from the stairs after hearing the noise.
In a short while, all the luggage was moved under the car.
Nie Sihui took the package from the old lady and said, "You came back pretty quickly. I thought it would take some time."
Mu Zhuo: "I'm lucky today. The train wasn't late. It arrived not long after I arrived."
Liao Qiutong was pregnant, and Liu Shuangcui expressed her concern to the old lady.
Mu Zhuo walked ahead carrying the luggage, "Come on, let's talk upstairs."
There was a lot of luggage and there were many of them, so they carried it all in one trip.
Mu Mian picked up a large bag and Liao Qiutong reached out to help him hold it.
Mu Mian smiled, "It's okay, Sister Qiu Tong, it's not serious at all, just pay attention to your stomach, don't let it touch you."
Liao Qiutong did not try to show off. She withdrew her hand and moved to the side. Her seven-month-old belly made it a little inconvenient for her to move.
Liao Qiutong smiled, but before she could finish her words, Xixi interrupted her. The little girl said in a serious tone, "That's right! Godmother, you have to listen to your aunt. You have to be careful. My sister is already so big."
Liao Qiutong laughed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Mu Mian teased her niece, "You know she's my sister now?"
Wen Chen turned around and interjected, "He must have heard it from Old Dong."
Xixi: "Yes, my godfather said that my godmother is pregnant with my sister. He dreamed about it!"
Dong Lezhang had obviously heard this many times, and he subconsciously echoed, "Sister~"
Liao Qiutong held her son's hand and said, "He talks nonsense every day. I feel that he is almost the same as when I was pregnant with Le Zhang."
Liu Shuangcui said in an experienced tone, "It's hard to tell. It's not certain until the baby is born."
Liao Qiutong agreed, "I said the same thing. He said his intuition was very accurate."
The house was on the second floor. When the female comrades walked in the back and chatted, Mu Fugui had already entered the house and shouted loudly, "This building is clean, clean and spacious!"
Mu Zhuo: "How could it not be clean? My wife and I cleaned it several times."
Mu Mian was very interested in the new home. Before he even reached the door, he poked his head over and said, "Let me take a look."
When they were outside just now, Mu Mian had already taken a careful look and heard that Zhan had said a lot to her elder brother.
This is the expansion area. The building was completed less than two years ago and looks brand new from the outside.
Each building has four floors, with two households on each floor. There are only two types of housing units, one with two bedrooms and one with three bedrooms.
Wen Zhan had previously applied for Room 202 in Building 7, and Room 201 was applied for by Mu Zhuo. They were truly door to door.
It was a good time to do so. Not long after the expansion was completed, there was still some extra space left in the house.
In the past, you would have to wait a long time just to apply for a house, let alone one that lives next door to you.
Before Mu Mian and the others arrived, Mu Zhuo had already got the key. The originally empty house was cleaned up by the couple. They put in new tables, chairs, benches, and other furniture.
The luggage was temporarily placed in a place, and the whole family looked at the room first. There were more than 80 square meters in total, with a living room, kitchen and bathroom.
Except for the master bedroom, the two secondary bedrooms are not very big.
In this day and age, this is considered the best condition possible. You have to know that in many tube-shaped buildings nowadays, many families are squeezed into a space of 20 to 30 square meters.
Mu Mian likes it very much. If nothing unexpected happens, they will have to live here for several years to come.
The mattresses in the master bedroom have been made out, and a new large wardrobe has been built, which is tall and spacious.
The closet door was open. Mu Mian took a look and saw that a small half of it was used for hanging clothes, and there were also many grids where clothes could be folded.
Mu Zhuo stood at the door, "Do you like it? Your sister-in-law made it for you. She said that your skirt and other things should be hung up."
Mu Mian narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I like you, I like you very much. You are my sister-in-law, and you understand me!"
Nie Sihui: "The carpenter's craftsmanship is very good, but it took a lot of effort to move it up here."
Mu Mian: "Hey, thank you for your hard work, brother and sister-in-law~"
Wen Chen also patted his elder brother and brother-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your concern."
Mu Zhuo was shaken by the big hand and nodded his chin towards the closet grid. "See? The bottom grid is reserved for you."
Wen Zhan ignored the childish talk and brought in the bag of clothes.
While a few people were looking around the master bedroom, the three elders were already visiting next door.
Xixi realized later that her aunt was not there, and ran over to pull Mu Mian, "Aunt, come and see my room, I have my own bed, I have been sleeping alone these nights!"
She is not afraid at all!
Mu Mian was also a person who praised readily, "Then you are quite amazing."
The room designs are very simple these days, and the layouts on both sides are exactly the same. Although the family of three has only lived here for less than a month, there are traces of their lives everywhere.
Xixi was still showing off her room, "My bed is so big, it can accommodate adults, grandma can sleep with me at night, and you can sleep with me at night too."
The little girl spoke without restraint, and when she said this, she successfully made several adults laugh.
Nie Sihui said in a meaningful tone, "It's okay to let your grandmother sleep with you."
Wen Chen glanced at his wife, and although he didn't say anything, his eyes said a lot.
Mu Mian coughed and ended the topic directly, "Let's clean up first, there are so many rooms, you can live in any place you want."
It was actually pretty quick to clean up.
The large luggage has already arrived with Eleven, so just pack the things you need to take with you.
This time, I brought all my clothes and stuff.
Yes, Mu Mian had brought a lot of clothes, so Wen Chen helped to fold them.
The young couple chatted while cleaning.
They have a new house to live in, and most importantly, the whole family is still together. Mu Mian is really very happy and is making plans with a smile on his face.
"Fourth brother, how about we build a small cabinet and put it next to the bed? This way it will be more convenient to get things at night."
"I also want to buy an electric fan. How about building a table and putting it at the end of the bed?"
"It doesn't seem necessary. The desk should be able to hold it. I can play it during the day or at night."
"I also want a whole photo frame. I want to frame the photo of the day we got our marriage certificate and put it on the desk. It will look nice. I have to put the family photo on it too!"
…………
…
The little girl chattered away, and her upbeat tone was full of plans for a new life, which made people feel happy just listening to her.
There was no one outside the door. Mu Fugui and the others had gone to the next room again, and there were loud voices coming from next door.
Wen Zhan couldn't help it, he leaned over and pecked his wife on the mouth.
We left as soon as we touched, not daring to stay for long.
Wen Chen: "I'll do whatever you want."
Mu Mian smiled and said, "I can't do it by myself, I have to count on you for the tickets!"
You need a ticket to buy an electric fan and a camera. She is not in a hurry to buy a camera, but she really wants to buy an electric fan. The weather here is several degrees hotter than over there.
It’s hot and humid. It’s uncomfortable if you don’t blow it.
Wen Chen: "Okay, I'll find a way."
Mu Mian leaned over and pecked his fourth brother on the face.
The next second, Mu Zhuo suddenly appeared at the door with a look of disdain on his face.
Mu Mian took the initiative and asked, "Brother, why are you walking without making any sound?"
Mu Zhuo sighed, "I just wanted to see what you guys were packing that took you so long to come out."
As a result, I saw this scene as soon as I came in, and I was so disgusted.
The embarrassment of being caught being intimate only lasted for two seconds. Mu Mian said in a very natural tone, "It's almost done. Should we cook? Should we eat in the cafeteria or what?"
Mu Zhuo: "Your sister-in-law and the others are already preparing it. Just wait for the boss to come back and then go to the cafeteria to get two dishes."
Dong Qie hasn't finished training yet. Mu Zhuo took a special leave this afternoon, so he is so relaxed now.
Mu Mian took a step forward and said, "I'll go take a look."
The meal was naturally cooked next door, and all the ingredients were available. Mu Mian and her family's kitchen had never been used before.
Liao Qiutong was sitting on a chair helping to pick the beans; the old lady was already busy in a hurry.
Xixi: "Aunt, let's eat meat tonight!"
Little Dong Lezhang said in a baby voice, "Eat meat~"
Mu Mian: "Then I have to have a big meal."
We had been chatting and packing up, and it was actually getting late. After about half an hour of busy work, we heard noises at the door.
Little Dong Lezhang was the first to react. He ran to the door with his short legs while calling out "Dad".
Mu Mian looked over and saw a face that was familiar yet not so familiar.
The last time I saw a photo of Dong Qie was many years ago. Nowadays, the photography skills of many photographers are not that good, and there is still some gap between the photos and the real person.
Perhaps because he has been in the army for many years, Dong Qie also has a strong temperament, but he doesn't look as serious as Wen Zhen.
As soon as their eyes met, Mu Mian greeted him first, "Second brother!"
Dong Qie hugged his son and laughed loudly, "Little sister, I finally saw you."
Mu Fugui greeted him warmly, "Xiao Dong, come and sit here."
Dong Qie: "Uncle, how long have you been here? I was talking to Lao Mu at noon. I'm afraid the train will be late, so we don't want to arrive before dark."
Mu Fugui: "It's not late, it's not late, it's already two o'clock."
There were more than ten people from the two families, and the room was really lively for a while. Everyone was talking non-stop.
After chatting for about ten minutes, Dong Qie looked around the room and asked, "Where's Lao Wen?"
Mu Zhuo raised his chin towards the neighbor next door, "Still tinkering in the house."
Wen Chen wasn't actually busy with anything, as he wasn't needed in the kitchen, so he stayed in the house and put into practice the plans that Mu Mian had casually talked about before.
My wife wants to put an electric fan on the desk, so she has to consider where the socket should be placed, as well as the size of the bedside table. If it is too big, it might block the closet door.
When Dong Qie was standing at the door with his son in his arms, Wen Chen was standing by the wall with a tape measure in his hand. Hearing the noise, he casually turned his head to take a look, then quickly looked away.
Dong Qie shook his son in his arms and said, "Son, your uncle looked like a decent human being, how come he turned into an animal?"
Wen Chen: “………………”
Dong Lezhang obviously didn't understand the hint. He pointed at Wen Chen and said, "Not uncle, but uncle~"
Dong Qie: "There's nothing wrong with calling it that."
Wen Chen stood up and said, "Come here, Le Zhang, help me hold this one."
Children love doing this job the most. Dong Lezhang immediately jumped off his father and said, "I'll do it. I know how to do it!"
Dong Qie sighed, "You are very good at ordering my son around."
Wen Chen: "What's wrong with being my uncle's servant and ordering my nephew around?"
Dong Qie narrowed his eyes and said, "This person is much more shameless than before. I think he is as shameless as the city wall."
Wen Zhuan did not refute.
Practice makes perfect, and only if you are thick-skinned can you find a good partner.
