It was almost seven in the evening and Li Hongqi had been driving for almost three hours but still hadn't reached the military area. Chen Xi's face was still livid.
Shuying was worried that this place was too remote. The mountain road had twisted and turned a lot, and it was dark. She couldn't see the road outside clearly. She could only vaguely see mountains all around her.
It's so far to drive from the county town to the military area. She can forget about going to the county town on foot in the future.
She thought so in her heart, and half an hour later, she finally saw the soldiers stationed at the gate of the military area.
After entering the military area and driving for a while, the first thing we saw was rows of brand new mud-brick houses.
The car drove backwards and Li Hongqi stopped outside a dilapidated courtyard and said, "Captain, you and your sister-in-law can only live here temporarily for the next few days. If you want to live in the mud-brick house in front, you have to submit a report and apply for it!"
Shuying asked curiously, "What's the difference between this mud-brick house and the small courtyard?"
It was from Li Hongqi that Shuying learned that this mud-brick house was newly built and had water pipes installed, so it was very convenient as there was no need to draw water from the well as before.
Look, it looks new, and the ground is paved with cement, which is particularly flat and convenient. Aren’t everyone applying for new mud brick houses?
Of course, there are also a few sisters-in-law who are used to living in a small courtyard and have not applied for a mud brick house.
Tree Shadow nodded.
After Chen Xi got off the bus with the luggage and the child, he asked Li Hongqi to go to the cafeteria to get food as soon as possible, as they would not be able to have dinner if they were late.
Li Hongqi scratched his head and said, "Captain, it's okay. I have my wife at home!"
I am already very embarrassed to trouble this young lady today. She doesn't have much in her luggage, and a few egg cakes have been crushed and are difficult to deliver.
Shuying planned to make something to send to the young man's home the next day or the day after tomorrow, so he asked him to go back first and said, "I and your team leader will be fine here. We are already at the doorstep! I am really sorry to bother you today!"
Li Hongqi waved his hands quickly, but seeing that the team leader and his sister-in-law insisted that he go first, it was so late, and Li Hongqi was afraid that his wife would worry, so he said a few words and drove away.
At 7:30 in the evening, it was pitch dark. Chen Xi gave the child to his wife and asked her to wait outside with the baby in her arms while he carried the luggage and pushed the door open to go in first.
When the light inside was turned on, Shuying came in carrying the sleepy little guy.
I have been here for so long, and all I used in the countryside were kerosene lamps. Now, suddenly there are electric lights, and I am still a little uncomfortable with the shadows of the trees.
But this electric lamp is really a good thing. It brings so much convenience.
Although the lamp is yellow and its wattage is estimated to be only a dozen watts, no more than 20 watts at most, and not very bright, Shuying feels particularly satisfied.
With the help of the lamplight, Tree Shadow took a general look at the entire layout of the small courtyard.
The yard is not as shabby as it looks from the outside. It is not too big but not too small either. Including the front yard and the back yard, it is estimated to be over 80 square meters.
The house has two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen. The bathroom is in the backyard of a few square meters. There is also a well in the backyard. The front yard is about ten square meters, with weeds and two trees planted by the corner of the wall.
The more Shuying looked at it, the more satisfied he felt.
Chen Xi thought his wife was not satisfied with the environment and immediately said, "I will file a report to apply for a mud brick house tomorrow morning!"
Shuying said hurriedly: "No, I think it's nice here!"
Shuying prefers this small yard to living in a mud-brick house with everyone else. In the future, she can cook well and it is less likely to arouse jealousy.
"Do you like it here?" Chen Xi raised his thin lips.
The tree shadow chicken pecked at the rice and nodded.
Compared to the mud-brick house, Chen Xi also liked this place better. Since his wife was willing to live here, Chen Xi slammed the table and said, "Then live here." He paused for a moment and said, "You take the children to sit in the main hall first. I'll go to the cafeteria to see if there's any food!"
It's too late tonight to start the fire, so we'll have to make do with it.
Shuying carried the child into the main room, where there was a pile of things. She took a quick look and found that most of them were men's clothes, as well as some bowls, chopsticks, basins, kettles, and pots.
Shuying breathed a sigh of relief. This place was too remote and it was inconvenient to buy things.
Shuying went to take another look at the kitchen. There was an especially large water vat and a melon ladle inside. The things there were not very complete, but at least there were all the necessary things.
Shuying took a new sheet and put it on the big bed, then put the sleeping child on it. It was hot, so she only covered the child with a thin sheet.
Then I went to the well to fetch water and wiped clean the chairs, table, bed and closet where I would sleep tonight.
The rest will be cleaned up tomorrow.
When Chen Xi came back with the food, Shuying had almost finished wiping the table and chairs in the main room and the bed, and had also almost finished making the bed in the bedroom.
Carry the child from another room to the master bedroom and cover him with a blanket to sleep.
He also picked up his clothes and stacked them neatly in the closet, hanging a few coats and folding his own clothes on the left.
She didn't bring many clothes this time, but she did bring the date red dress she wore for her wedding and hung it aside.
Chen Xi saw that he had just been out for a while and his wife had packed most of his things. He told her to leave them there while he ate and he would pack the rest later.
"What about the child?" The kid hasn't woken up yet! He must be tired from riding in the car these days, and he feels a little sluggish.
"I'll go wake him up for dinner!" Chen Xi stood up and went to hug him.
Shuying stopped the man and said, "Forget it for now, let him sleep for a while!" She was really hungry, so she would light the fire and heat up some food for the little guy later.
Seeing that his wife was blocking him, Chen Xi gave up and the couple sat in the main room to eat.
The food here is white rice.
Chen Xi ordered a lot of white rice, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.
During dinner, Shuying saw that most of the things had been packed up, and the main room suddenly felt much emptier.
The 20-square-meter main room only has a table and a few wooden chairs.
Seeing that his wife only ate vegetables and very little meat, Chen Xi picked up a few pieces of meat for her.
"Eat by yourself and don't worry about me!" She didn't feel like eating meat at the moment.
The food in the military cafeteria was stir-fried in a big pot, and the taste was not that good. Shuying was satisfied with half a box of food.
The rest was given to the man next to her as usual.
Chen Xi also thought the food in the cafeteria was average and asked her about the chili she had for lunch.
Shuying handed him the chili peppers from her luggage. When he put a lot of chili peppers in her lunch box, Shuying thought to herself that this guy couldn't live without spicy food.
After waiting for dinner, Chen Xi washed the lunch box.
After sitting on the train for three days without taking a shower, Shuying couldn't stand it anymore. The weather was hot, so after dinner, she went to take a shower immediately.
Before taking a bath, she asked him why he had all the pots, bowls, pans, and utensils.
Shuying suddenly realized what was going on when he learned from the man that he had telegraphed someone to buy these things in advance.
"What do you do when you buy things on weekdays?" asked Shuying.
I learned from the man that there is a free market every five days in the nearby town, and there is also a village nearby. People from the military area can go to the market to buy things, or go to the nearby village to exchange things with the villagers.
Shuying was relieved.
There was also a light in the cubicle. Chen Xi brought out a large tub and washed her clean, while asking her to wait a while before washing and not to use cold water.
Although it is hot outside, there is still a slight temperature difference at night.
The kitchen has an old-fashioned kerosene stove, which is very convenient for heating water and cooking.
After the water boiled, Chen Xi adjusted the temperature and brought it to the cubicle for her to take a bath.
The man's considerate behavior made Shuying smile.
With the hot water, the shadow of the tree dropped a drop of nectar to wash my hair and take a bath.
At home she uses soap to wash.
Here, she was not going to endure it any longer, so she poured the nectar into the water, washed her hair with shampoo, and took a bath with soap.
After taking a shower, she changed into her handmade suspender pajamas, put on a shirt over it, and asked the man to take a shower as well.
I filled a basin with hot water and mixed it with cold water and brought it to the bedroom to wash the child's body.
When she came out to get some water, she saw the man washing his hair and taking a bath with cold water in the backyard. He was almost done, so she just told him to take a bath with hot water in the future.
Chen Xi raised his thin lips and said, "It's okay!" He also said that he was used to taking cold showers in the army.
Looking at the man's strong and tall body, she didn't say much.
Shuying returned to the bedroom.
I just moved into the bedroom. It’s empty, about 20 square meters, with a big bed. In addition to the bed, there is also a simple rectangular desk and a wooden wardrobe.
The shadow of the tree used the wooden table as a dressing table.
I put the vanishing cream mirror and some personal belongings I brought from home in the drawer of the wooden table.
After putting my things away, I saw that the child in the bed was still asleep and sleeping soundly.
Shuying touched the boy's cheek and found that his eyelashes were particularly long.
In the military area, not many people know her, but since Shuying knows her inside out, he doesn't have to worry about changing too much and causing others to be surprised.
I plan to resume using the nectar, and gradually continue to whiten my skin day by day.
She drank half a drop of nectar and added half a drop of nectar to the lotion of high-end skin care products that had not been sold in her mall and used it to apply on her body.
After taking off her coat, putting on suspenders and applying makeup, Shuying sat on the edge of the bed and dried her hair with a towel.
The man took a shower very quickly, drying his hair as he came in. His hair was short and dried quickly, so when he came in, his hair was already half dry.
Shuying has a lot of hair, which is still wet.
After Chen Xi entered the room, he saw her wearing a suspender top that revealed her two slender white arms, sitting on the edge of the bed and drying her hair, and she paused for a moment.
His eyes consciously fell on her delicate collarbone and neck, his Adam's apple rolled, and he immediately closed the door.
Shu Ying was busy combing her hair and didn't notice anything was wrong with the man.
The man threw the towel aside, sat on the edge of the bed and took the initiative to wipe his wife's hair.
As soon as Chen Xi sat down, a particularly pleasant fragrance wafted into his nose. The man paused slightly, and his eyes fell deeply on her fair and slender neck.
An hour and a half later, when her hair was almost dry, Shuying touched her hair and felt that it was almost dry. She moved away and gave up half of the room for him to sleep.
Chen Xi lifted the quilt, got on the bed, and held the person in his arms.
Shuying buried her head in the man's broad chest, thinking that the man's forceful wiping of her hair was very gentle and very comfortable. After he finished wiping her hair, she almost fell asleep.
Shuying closed his eyes, subconsciously rubbed the man's arm and asked him: "Are you tired? Let me give you a massage!"
Shuying didn't notice that the more she pressed, the hotter and darker the man's eyes became as he looked at her, and a few veins popped up on his forehead.
"Is it okay?" asked Shuying.
Without waiting for the man to answer, Shuying looked up in surprise. As soon as she looked up, the man pinched her chin and kissed her, his lips and tongue driving straight into her and sweeping her around wildly.
Shuying passively endured the man's fierce and passionate kiss, her breathing slightly panting, her hand resting on the man's chest.
At first, Shuying thought the man just wanted to kiss her, so she hugged the man's neck and kissed him back.
Who knew that the two of them would go too far in their kissing, until the man next to her turned over and pressed on her, and then Shuying realized that things were serious.
Shuying didn't forget that there was a child beside her, and tried to push him away, but she heard the man's deep voice: "Wife, I want you!"
"Well... the child is here!"
"I'll be gentler!"
