Chapter 114 She caused trouble for him
Mingzhu didn't say anything, and Jiang Duo didn't ask any more questions.
That night, Mingzhu was honest and didn't provoke him. She just slept on her side in bed.
Jiang Duo... somehow he was still a little uncomfortable.
Mingzhu slept too much in the afternoon and now she has insomnia. After lying down for a long time, she turned over and asked Jiang Duo, "Captain Jiang, are you asleep?"
"No."
"Before we left, we told my aunt and the others that we would go back to pick them up after they are settled, but this place... is a little small, and I'm afraid there won't be enough space for them by then-" "
Don't worry, they will live in the village in front, where there is a joint middle school. Song Xue can also enroll directly when she comes. We will go to pick them up after we have agreed."
Mingzhu saw that he had planned everything, so there was nothing to worry about. My aunt was not in good mental condition, so she still couldn't let her aunt leave her for too long.
She went over, took the initiative to hug Jiang Duo, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered, "Okay, good night."
"Yeah."
The next morning, the two were awakened by the sound of a bugle. After a simple breakfast, Jiang Duo went to the unit.
Mingzhu was preparing lunch at home. Jiang Duo said that six people would come, and they were all young and strong. In order to ensure that they would not be hungry, Mingzhu had to cook as much as possible.
While she was busy, a voice came from outside: "Is anyone home?"
Mingzhu was washing vegetables, wiped her hands and left the kitchen.
Standing in the yard were a middle-aged man in his forties and a soldier in his teens. Both of them were wearing military uniforms, but it was obvious that the uniform of the former was of a higher rank.
Mingzhu asked in confusion: "Hello, who are you looking for?" The
middle-aged man said: "I am Huang Dejiang who lives in the front row."
Oh... Huang Yu's father.
"Are you looking for my wife? He went to work."
"I've asked someone to call him over," he said, looking up at the house behind Mingzhu. "Jiang Duo applied for housing at the unit the day before yesterday, but the approval form never got through my hands, and the person who allocated the house to him didn't know that the yard you live in is not suitable for a small platoon-level cadre like him..."
As he was speaking, Jiang Duo came back running in the distance.
Jiang Duo heard the general idea just at the door. He said in a deep voice, "This house is specially approved by the higher-ups because of my meritorious service in this mission."
Huang Dejiang interrupted Jiang Duo, with a serious look on his face, "Young man, don't act like you have made some merits. This is a military unit, and it is your duty to obey orders. You have made merits, so you should live in this house. If others have made merits, then I will give my house to them."
Jiang Duo's brows sank, "This is the house that has been approved by the higher-ups. If Huang Tuan has any opinions, he can go to find Commander Lin."
"Jiang Duo!" Huang Dejiang's face grew a little colder, "If you want to go against me, just make it clear that you can't live here at your level."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yinglan and Huang Yu, who was not at work, heard the voice in the alley in front and walked over.
Huang Yu glanced at Mingzhu with a smug look on his face, but Li Yinglan stepped forward with a magnanimous look and pulled her husband, "Old Huang, there are no newlyweds getting married in your army nowadays. This place is at least big. For Xiaoyu and me's sake, just turn a blind eye and let Xiaojiang live here temporarily. Xiaojiang, don't be angry, say a few soft words to Old Huang, and let us solve this matter internally."
Huang Dejiang's expression softened a little, and his eyes fell on Jiang Duo's face, as if waiting for Jiang Duo to say soft words to please him.
Jiang Duo's face was cold, dreaming, it was natural for him to live in this house!
Mingzhu understood that the family of three was playing a double act to show off their power to Jiang Duo.
Wang Cuiju said yesterday that this unit is a small one, and the superiors don't have much time to come here. Most of the time, Huang Dejiang has the final say.
Huang Dejiang saw that Jiang Duo's rank was low, so he wanted to control him and let him know that if he married a village woman like her, she couldn't help him at all. But if he married Huang Yu, it would be different. Let's not talk about anything else. Isn't it up to Jiang Duo to choose the house?
Mingzhu looked at Huang Dejiang indifferently and asked, "Then with my husband's rank, where should we live?"
Huang Dejiang pointed to the inside of this row, "The smallest one at the west end."
Fang Sa walked around yesterday, and the courtyard at the back was at least half a room smaller than the current house.
But so what?
"Okay, we'll vacate this house for you today, and you can live in the one that belongs to us."
Li Lanying and Huang Yu on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, this was not their purpose today.
Jiang Duo also said in a deep voice: "No need."
Mingzhu walked over and took Jiang Duo's arm tenderly, "Oh, I don't care about the size of the house, because it's so annoying to have a house controlled by others every day. Oh, by the way, I heard..."
She pointed to a house next to the Huang family, "The house there is bigger than the one we live in now, but it's now occupied by Leader Huang's son, right? His son doesn't seem to be a soldier, is this in line with the rules and regulations?"
Jiang Duo suppressed the arc of his lips and said in a light voice: "It's against the rules." Mingzhu
frowned . He glanced at Huang Dejiang, whose expression changed again and again, "Leader Huang, we will move now. We will abide by the rules and regulations, and we hope you will do the same. I am just a country woman, hypocritical and narrow-minded. If I see something unfair, maybe one day I will go to the door of your unit with a sign to complain! You are such a big leader, you are upright, you should not be afraid of being investigated, right?"
Huang Dejiang gritted his teeth. In this compound, everyone knew that his son lived in that house. Even if someone had complaints, no one dared to say a word.
This little country woman who had just arrived for two days was quite courageous. Very good!
He turned his head and glared at Jiang Duo, then turned around and walked out.
Li Yinglan also glared at Mingzhu angrily, and dragged Huang Yu, who was full of anger, away.
The yard was quiet again. Mingzhu thought of the look Huang Dejiang gave Jiang Duo when he left just now. She frowned and looked up at Jiang Duo, "Did I cause trouble for you? Huang Dejiang will not make things difficult for you at work in the future, right?"
After all, this is not Xiaojing Village. Should she be patient?
It was the first time that Jiang Duo saw Mingzhu being so cautious. He raised his hand and touched her head, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Don't worry, he can't embarrass me. You did a good job. It's just that we don't have to give up this house."
With his real status, even if they live in Huang Dejiang's house, he has to give it up honestly.
He doesn't want the young girl who follows him to suffer any grievances. When necessary... he can make it public -
"Oh," Mingzhu said, interrupting his thoughts: "Anyway, my aunt and the others don't live with us, so it doesn't matter if the house is a little small. No one will point fingers at you about this in the future, and I will be happier living there."
Okay, as long as she doesn't feel wronged, he is fine with anything.
"There is another problem, the neighbors of that family are not very good..."
Mingzhu looked over there and suddenly realized, wow, it really is!
