The next day, just after daybreak, Gu Mingze woke up a few people and asked them to go to the bathroom. After filling their stomachs, he filled the car with spare gasoline and headed straight for the city.

When the sun was high in the sky, they finally arrived in the city.

"Mom and Dad, let's go eat first, and then go shopping. My current unit is very remote, so you and my dad should try to buy everything you need, otherwise it will be very difficult to get out." Gu Mingze said as he pulled over to the side of the state-owned restaurant.

"Okay, we both understand." Mother Lu said and pushed the door open.

Gu Mingze still served a bowl of meat noodle soup to his wife first. After watching her eat it, he turned back to the house to eat.

After finishing their meal, they drove to the department store in the city. Lu Qingyan stayed in the car while the three of them went in and started cleaning the house.

When they came out, the three of them had their hands full. Of course, Mother Lu didn't let Gu Mingze spend his own money to buy these things.

Gu Mingze wanted to pay for her and the old man's things, but Lu's mother did not agree.

"We're finally getting there. It's so hard to go out when you're pregnant." Lu Qingyan sighed as she touched her belly after waiting for the car to drive out of the city.

"Everything will be fine after you give birth to the baby. You can go wherever you want." Gu Mingze was afraid that his wife would be unhappy, so he quickly spoke to comfort her.

"Okay, I see." Lu Qingyan nodded, looking at the place that was getting more and more remote, and there was not even a house around, so she wondered: "Is this unit so remote?"

"Yeah, it's a little off. I thought the fewer people who know about it, the better. After all, this place is quite special." Gu Mingze didn't explain too much. He just said it briefly and then closed his mouth.

"What if we run out of food or something?" Mother Lu asked when she heard her son-in-law say the place was remote.

"Because there are fewer soldiers accompanying the army now, the higher-ups have allocated a piece of land to each family member so they can grow some food and vegetables.

If you need anything else at home, just tell me, or go to the logistics department and tell them, and they will bring it back when they go out." Gu Mingze thought that he would not be at home after the mission, so he explained everything clearly, so that when he was gone, his mother-in-law and others would not be able to find a place to buy anything they needed.

"That's fine. We have land here. Your father and I can take good care of it." When Mother Lu heard that she could get a share of the land, she smiled widely.

She thought that after she came here, she would have nothing to do except taking care of her daughter. Now that she has the land, she doesn't have to stay here every day.

"Now we can still grow some potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and so on. Where can we buy these?" Father Lu listened to what the two said and thought about what to plant on the land they were allocated. But without seeds, it would be useless to plant anything. He looked at his son-in-law and asked.

"I'll go to the logistics department and ask. Basically they have seeds there." Gu Mingze looked at the two elders who had a smile on their faces.

I thought to myself that only those who come from the countryside love the land. People from the city don't want the land even if they are given it, saying it is dirty.

It's ridiculous to think about it. If you think food is dirty, then just don't eat the food. This makes them seem delicate, but in fact, they are even worse than the rural people.

Twenty minutes later, the few people finally saw the gate guarded by two soldiers. After undergoing some inspection, they drove to the family compound.

"Mom, look, that's the land allocated to us. Less than a mile ahead is where we live." Gu Mingze said as he drove, pointing to a piece of land outside.

"Wow, the corn has grown so tall?" Mother Lu turned her head and looked over there. She saw a green field over there and asked in surprise.

"There are a few sisters-in-law in the army who came earlier. They started raising seedlings in the spring." After Gu Mingze finished speaking, he stopped the car and said, "Mom and Dad, Xiaoyan, we're here, get off."

"Which floor is our house on?" Mother Lu asked as she carried her things downstairs after getting off the car.

"Second floor, the innermost door on the east side." After Gu Mingze said that, he helped Lu Qingyan out of the car carefully and held her up.

"Put me down quickly. It would be bad if others saw me." Lu Qingyan patted the man's back gently, looking around for fear that someone would suddenly appear.

"It's okay. You're not in good health. Others will understand if they know." Gu Mingze smiled when he heard this.

Father and Mother Lu were all smiles when they saw how attentively their son-in-law took care of their daughter.

"Wife, look, I chose the house on the east side on purpose, so that when the sun comes up, the whole house will be filled with sunshine." Gu Mingze carried her back to the bedroom, gently put her on the floor, let her stand up, then took out a quilt from the closet and spread it out while talking.

"Yeah, it's really good." Lu Qingyan walked out slowly and took a look at the living room and kitchen, then nodded with satisfaction.

"This room is quite nice. It's almost time to tie a rope outside so that we can hang our laundry here." Mother and Father Lu came up and put the things on the ground, pointing to the platform at the door and said

"Wife, go back and lie down. I'll go downstairs to get something." Gu Mingze came out and helped the woman back to the house, then went downstairs to get something.

"Hey, Captain Gu is back?" A sister-in-law on the first floor was sleeping, but was woken up by the noise outside. She simply did not sleep and came out to see what was going on outside. After seeing that it was the new Captain Gu, she smiled and greeted him.

"Yes, I just got home." Gu Mingze nodded and replied

"Then I'll go to your house tomorrow to see your sister-in-law. There are only a few people in our army who accompany you. It's not easy to get new people here, so you have to get along well with them." The woman, Guo Yan, said with a smile

"That's right, but my wife is not feeling well, so she can't come downstairs to chat with you guys for now." Gu Mingze was afraid that someone would say that his wife stayed in the house every day, so he explained in advance.

"Oh, your health is not good. You have to take good care of yourself. You can't be careless." Guo Yan didn't expect that such a young and promising battalion commander would find a sickly person. She felt sorry for him.

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I'll take the things upstairs first." Gu Mingze shook the things in his hand, said hello, and went upstairs.

"Tsk tsk, they are really willing to spend money. Look at all the good things. We usually can't afford to buy them." At this time, a woman who looked to be in her thirties came out, and said jealously with a sigh.

"Look at what you said. Isn't it normal for someone who just moved here to buy some things? Have you forgotten that when you first came here, you also had a lot of things, big and small bags?" Guo Yan knew that Chang Xia liked to take advantage of others and speak ill of others. When she heard her say this, she didn't hesitate and just retorted.

"Look at what my sister-in-law said. What I brought were things that I have been reluctant to throw away for years, but what others bought were all new." Chang Xia pouted and walked forward, reaching out to rummage in the car to see if there was anything else.

"Don't move, don't move. There are a lot of money in it. If it is lost, who will be responsible for it..."
