Chapter 353 New Family Courtyard
He Zhi hadn't had a good time in Kyoto yet, so He Xu held Chen Tang's hand, held the little guy, went to see a movie, visited some attractions that were still open, took some photos, and played until almost night before returning.
The next day, He Xu was going to handle the transfer procedures, and Chen Tang also bought a lot of things and took He Zhi to the military compound.
As soon as I moved in, the two families living next door came to visit me.
The wives of the two regiment leaders were both in their thirties, and they were accompanied by several children. They were carrying a basket of vegetables with brand new cloth in it, and were very polite and considerate.
"You are so polite, auntie."
The wife of the regiment leader is Qin Fang, and she was the one who almost introduced Chen Tang to a blind date last time.
She liked beautiful people, and when she saw Chen Tang dressed like this, in a dacron shirt with a long skirt, with her hair loose and wearing a headband, she looked just like a star, and her eyes lit up.
“Sister Shen, you don’t look like someone who has given birth to a child. If I didn’t know that your child looks like you, I would have thought you were a stepmother.”
It's no wonder she feels this way. It's because He Xu doesn't pay attention to skin care and trains frequently, so his skin is dark brown. He and Shen Tang look like people of two different ages.
Shen Tang smiled and said, “Sister-in-law is also young.”
Seeing her modest appearance, Mrs. Qin liked her more and more: "You don't know, the head of the Third Regiment married someone later. I heard that she is the daughter of a capitalist. She is beautiful and has a chin that can pierce the sky. She has the worst temper in our compound. If it weren't for her, the head of the Third Regiment would definitely be promoted this time."
As he was talking, someone came to the door. The woman was fair-skinned, with regular features. She wore small leather shoes and a flowery skirt. She spoke in a delicate voice, "Oh, you two sisters-in-law didn't even call me."
There was a little girl beside her, hiding timidly behind the woman and looking into the house.
Seeing He Zhi folding paper airplanes with a few other kids, she also felt like trying something new, but perhaps because she was too shy, she didn't dare to go forward.
"Madam, my name is Cheng Lingling. It's our first meeting. I brought some candy to the children. Please don't mind that I'm late. It's mainly because I got up late in the morning and the two sisters-in-law didn't call me. Eh, it's really a waste of all the good things I said to the two sisters-in-law."
Chen Tang could hear the other party's sarcasm, not to mention the other two sisters-in-law who he often met.
Mrs. Wang, who was always silent, was fine, but Qin Fang was lively and proud, and she rolled her eyes as soon as she was ridiculed by her.
"Just know it yourself. There's no one lazier than you in this family compound. I don't know how Captain Yan can tolerate you."
Cheng Lingling snorted in a pretentious manner, saying disdainfully, "I am not as hardworking as Qin's wife. I spend three meals a day around a man, but the child is still stupid and dumb. Every other day, he either fights or is called by the teacher to be the parents."
"you!"
Qin Fang was so angry that she wanted to yell, but was interrupted by Chen Tang in time: "Okay, okay, everyone, stop arguing. I just arrived at this family compound and haven't had time to walk around. While the weather is nice, why don't we go out for a walk?"
Cheng Lingling had just sat down and didn't want to move.
Qin Fang was happy to lead the way for Chen Tang.
So Mrs. Wang and Chen Lingling drank a cup of tea and went back.
Chen Tang held He Zhi's hand and followed Qin Fang around the compound.
The villa where she and He Xu lived was considered one of the better houses in the family compound.
There are three divisions in the military district compound. The division commanders all live close to their respective regiments. The cadres at the regimental level and above are located near He Xu and his family's house.
Those at the battalion commander level all lived in an orderly manner on the other floor. It would take a long time to walk there, so Chen Tang did not go over to see.
After arriving at the family compound, Chen Tang only knew Lin Xiao. Hao Yun was now the deputy political commissar of the division, and the two families lived quite close to each other. Before Chen Tang finished touring the compound, he ran to Lin Xiao's house to see her.
Lin Xiao lived in a white-walled courtyard, which was much better looking than the courtyard they lived in before in Hai City. The walls were painted pink and white. Xiao Lingling and her brother were digging a hole in the corner of the wall.
As soon as she saw He Xu, Hao Ling immediately left her little brother who was still wobbling as he walked, and happily jumped towards He Zhi.
He Zhi was not used to this action, so he dodged and hid behind his mother.
Hao Ling pouted angrily, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she hugged Shen Tang’s thighs: “Aunt Shen, I haven’t seen you for a few days. Lingling misses you so much.”
Chen Tang listened to her crisp voice, his heart softened, and he couldn't help but touch her head: "I miss you too."
Lin Xiao came out after hearing the noise, and was even more delighted to see Chen Tang: "You are finally back."
These few days she also went back to Hao Yun's home in Kyoto. She had never seen the Great Wall of Kyoto, so Hao Yun took her to play there and they had a great time.
Chen Tang introduced Qin Fang to Lin Xiao.
Seeing that they had something to talk about, Mrs. Qin went home early.
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Tang mentioned something: "We just moved here, how about copying a few tables of food to liven up the atmosphere and get to know some people."
"Alright, let's just go together. I see that Mr. He from my family has just taken office and has a lot of things to do."
If you invite people to dinner, you must treat those at the level of group leader and above.
There were quite a lot of people. Chen Tang and Lin Xiao talked to their men at night. He Xu agreed, and Hao Yun just listened to He Xu.
There is a farmers' market, a supply and marketing cooperative, and a department store in the compound. The school has preschool, elementary school, and middle school. Students have to go to high school in the city. It is far from the city center, but there are many factories nearby.
He Xu was provided with a car, so it was very convenient for them to travel in and out.
After Chen Tang bought the vegetables, she was not very good at cooking, and she and Lin Xiao were too busy to handle it, so she asked the more enthusiastic sister-in-law Qin Fang to come and help.
The yard was full of people, and many of them already knew that the new commander and his wife were both young and promising.
But after seeing Chen Tang, they couldn't help but talk about it.
It's nothing, Chen Tang is just too beautiful, like a movie star.
But her outfit was not unusual. Both teachers were around 40 years old. Teacher Lu’s wife was his first wife, and Teacher Sun’s wife was his third wife.
The first one was killed by the enemy in battle.
The second wife was capable, but she only gave birth to a daughter. Teacher Sun favored boys over girls, so he divorced her peacefully and married the current wife.
The wife he married in the end was actually also a second marriage.
She is only in her thirties now, but she looks just like a girl in her twenties.
She gave birth to a son and a daughter for Teacher Sun.
As soon as Chen Tang appeared, Master Sun, who was well versed in women, made eye contact with He Xu.
"You're really not getting married for the second time?"
