When we arrived at the military camp, the car stopped directly at the gate of a small courtyard in the family compound.
In the darkness of the night, I could only roughly see the situation in the courtyard.
Inside the low courtyard wall, there are three red brick and tile houses on the north side. The room on the east side should be the kitchen, and the southwest corner should be the toilet.
The yard is very large, with a small path paved with blue bricks in the middle leading directly to the door of the main house. The two meters in front of the three main houses are also paved with blue bricks, which looks very clean.
Xiaobai was the first to rush into the room.
Tang Zhan quickly moved his things into the room and asked Xiao Gao to return the car.
When I came in, I saw my wife sitting in front of the bed and looking around the room.
"I cleaned up in a hurry and just gave it a simple whitewash." Tang Zhan said with some guilt.
"I think it's pretty good, except it's missing some things. I can buy them when I have time."
Wen Guoer looked around the room and her eyes fell on the light above her head. Although it was dim, she had upgraded from a kerosene lamp to an electric light.
Suddenly, a strong arm put her into the man's arms, and the man's kiss fell on her lips, constantly demanding.
"Wife, I miss you so much."
A low and hoarse voice slipped past her ears, and his hands restlessly slipped into her clothes.
"Don't make trouble, I haven't taken a shower yet." She said shyly.
"I'll go get ready." He kissed her softly and left.
Tang Zhan quickly brought a wooden barrel and two thermoses of hot water from outside the door and adjusted the water temperature.
Wen Guoer saw him standing there, so she gently pushed him out the door.
"young married woman......"
He wanted to say that they were already husband and wife.
Tang Zhan took a quick shower, but Wen Guoer took a nice bath, feeling limp and sleepy all over.
Tang Zhan carried her to the bed and kissed her gently. She opened her eyes lazily and closed them tightly again.
"I'll spare you for now." Tang Zhan lightly scratched her upturned nose.
Knowing that she must be very tired after sitting on the train for two days, he smiled helplessly and could only hold his young wife in his arms and sleep.
It was already past ten o'clock when Wen Guoer woke up. She and Xiaobai were the only ones at home. Xiaobai looked like he had eaten his fill.
There were two lunch boxes on the table in the main room, which should contain the breakfast that Tang Zhan brought her. It was already cold.
She brought breakfast into the space, chose bird's nest and bread, ate, washed up, and returned to the courtyard.
The house was clean, but it was empty.
After a quick look, she found that there was only a bed in the main room, a dining table and a few benches in the main room, the other room was empty, there was only a stove in the kitchen, and the toilet was even simpler, with only a toilet pit. The belongings she brought yesterday were still piled on the floor of the main room, with nowhere to put them.
The task is arduous!
She listed the items she needed to buy: kitchen utensils, stove, toiletries, desk, wardrobe, kitchen cabinets...
Just as I was thinking about how to purchase these things, a shout came from outside the courtyard gate:
"Is Deputy Tuan's family member Tang at home?"
When Wen Guoer walked out of the room, she saw a woman in her thirties pushing the door and walking in.
"Oh, you are the wife of Deputy Colonel Tang, right? You are so pretty." The woman came forward enthusiastically.
"I am Tang Zhan's wife, and you are my sister-in-law?" Wen Guoer knew that the person who could enter the compound was most likely the sister-in-law in the compound.
"I live next door to you, Political Commissar Jiang. My name is Wei Hong, you can just call me Sister-in-law Wei.
When Xiao Tang left today, he told me that if you needed anything, he would let me take you around.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for your help. I don't know where to buy these things."
Wen Guoer said this and took out the list she had just made and showed it to Wei Hong.
"These utensils are easy to buy. They can be bought at the supply and marketing cooperative not far from our family compound. As for the furniture, we need to find a carpenter to make it."
After saying this, he looked at Wen Guoer's worried face and continued:
"Let's go to the nearby village later. Many of the furniture in the courtyard was made by a carpenter in the village."
"Okay. I'll listen to you, sister-in-law."
Wen Guoer was very happy to have someone willing to take her around since she was unfamiliar with the place.
