Song Li didn't know about Fu Yanci's arrangements yet. She returned to the dormitory, locked the door, and started the cleaning project. She didn't come back until she had washed herself and hung up the clothes.
Thinking that it was time to get busy with work, Song Li didn't think much about it.
After wiping her body, she finally felt refreshed. Facing Fu Yanci's clean and wrinkle-free bed, she could lie down on it without any burden.
I had just taken off my shoes and went to bed to take a nap when there was a knock on the door.
Song Li had no choice but to open the door in her slippers.
Standing at the door were Xiao Wang, whom I had just met in the morning, and a round-faced soldier whom I had never seen before.
Xiao Wang grinned and called out "Sister-in-law", then pointed to the round-faced soldier next to him and said to Song Li, "Sister-in-law, this is Wu Xiaoyuanzhi, sent by Commander Lu to take you to see the family compound."
Song Li was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Wu Xiaoyuan's chubby face. The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily. The name of Xiao Wu 땢zhi was quite... special, and it matched 놛's image very well.
She quickly greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Wu Zhi."
As soon as Wu Xiaoyuan saw Song Li's expression, she knew what she was thinking.
Having lived for twenty years, everyone who sees 누놛 and hears her name has the same first reaction as Captain Fu’s lover.
After so many years, really, I've gotten used to it.
"Hello, sister-in-law. Hello, my little Wu. Are you free now?" Seeing that Song Li was wearing slippers, Wu Xiaoyuan guessed that Song Li should have been asleep before they came.
Song Li had heard Fu Yanci talk about moving to the family compound at noon, so she quickly said, "It's convenient. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Wu Zhi."
Song Li put on her shoes, took the key, locked the door, and followed Xiao Wang and Xiao Wu to the courtyard.
The family compound is behind the dormitory building, about ten minutes' walk away.
On the way to the family compound, Wu Xiaoyuan briefly introduced the situation of the family compound.
"Sister-in-law, there are currently two vacant houses in the family compound. One is relatively large, with three bedrooms and a living room, but the neighbors next door are usually a bit...noisy."
Wu Xiaoyuan's word for "noisy" was particularly clever, and Xiao Wang beside her couldn't help but laugh.
After Xiao Wu said this, I seemed to know which apartment it was.
Xiao Wu was being too subtle. It wasn't just a little noisy, it was a huge noisy scene! Because of this incident, Instructor Jiang and Director Huang's hair almost turned white with worry.
Out of kindness, he sincerely suggested, "Sister-in-law, I think the three-bedroom, one-living room house is a bit too big for you and Captain Fu to live alone."
My sister-in-law looks so cute and you can tell she won't quarrel or fight. If I really move in, I'll be bullied to death by those tiger women who treat me like a little white rabbit.
The previous owner of that apartment was bullied by those unreasonable tiger women and went back to his hometown directly. Even the soldier man didn't want to stay.
Because those tiger women don't get along well with each other, no one has lived in such a big house.
Thinking of the fight between those tiger women, Xiao Wang shook his body subconsciously.
Dong is the orderly of Instructor Jiang, and often helps Instructor Jiang deal with some chores. Dong has never been to the family home as a coordinator.
Naturally, I also witnessed the battles of some military wives.
To be frank, there is a patch of hair missing from the back of my head, which was pulled out by those tiger women when they were trying to break up a fight.
At that time, I felt that it was a waste of talent to let the wives of soldiers stay at home to support logistics work. It would be unreasonable not to let them go to the battlefield to kill the enemy because of their fighting spirit.
Song Li was not stupid. After hearing the pause in Xiao Wu's words and Xiao Wang's meaningful reminder, she decisively followed Xiao Wang's advice.
"Let's just go to another apartment. Xiao Wang is right. For Fu Yanci and I, the room doesn't need to be too big."
She came to the Northwest, wanting to live her life peacefully, and she didn't want to conflict with others unless it was absolutely necessary.
Xiao Wu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and quickly looked for another apartment.
"The other apartment is a bit small, with a one-bedroom and one-living room layout. Although it is small, it has a separate courtyard and a vegetable garden behind the house, so my sister-in-law can grow some vegetables on weekdays."
Song Li was not interested at all whether to grow vegetables or not. She was so grown up that she couldn't even recognize all the tools for digging the ground, so how could she do farming work?
She was interested in the solitary courtyard.
"Hearing what you said, I can't wait to see it." Song Li said with a smile.
Xiao Wang and Xiao Wu wisely quickened their pace.
As the three of them walked out of the gate of the family compound, Song Li saw rows of neatly arranged bungalows with red bricks and white walls. There were slogans written on the walls, which gave them a very old-fashioned feel.
It was afternoon, and a few women were sitting under the apricot tree at the gate of the courtyard, chatting. When they saw Song Li and the other two, a square-faced woman greeted them with a smile.
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Wu, why are you here?"
As he spoke, his eyes moved to Song Li who was behind the two of them.
"Who is this lady behind you?"
Xiao Wu hurriedly said, "Sisters-in-law, this is the new military wife Song Lizhi, the wife of Captain Fu. I'm bringing her here to see the house."
When the square-faced woman heard this, she exclaimed, "Captain Fu is married?" Why hadn't she heard the news?
Several other women also exclaimed, "When did Captain Fu get married? I haven't heard from my husband."
"Is Captain Fu going home to get married this time?"
A woman with a long braid didn't know what she was thinking. She slapped her thigh in annoyance and said, "If I had known that Captain Fu liked women, I would have married my cousin to him." She missed out on such a good marriage!
Thinking of this, she glared at the square-faced woman next to her.
It was that damn bitch Li Huifang who spread the news, saying that Captain Fu hadn't married for so many years because he didn't like women.
Song Li: "..." What does she mean? Could it be that Fu Yanci doesn't like women?
Thinking about how Fu Yanci ignored her on the train, Song Li began to doubt Fu Yanci's orientation.
Xiao Wu: “…” Fortunately, Captain Fu didn’t hear what he said, otherwise these nagging sisters-in-law would have to write another self-criticism.
Xiao Wang: “…” He said it was a pity that these sisters-in-law didn’t go to the battlefield. They dared to say anything.
Li Huifang touched her nose guiltily. She subconsciously glanced at Xiao Wu and tugged at the sleeve of the braided woman. "Shufen, there are some things you can't say carelessly. Captain Fu hasn't married in all these years. Maybe he hasn't met the woman of his dreams."
Wang Shufen curled her lips. Li Huifang was a good person. Wasn’t it she who said that Captain Fu didn’t like women?
Now that Captain Fu is married, she has become a good person.
Wang Shufen didn't want to let her get involved, so she deliberately raised her voice and said, "I just listened to you."
Li Huifang's face froze, and she secretly scolded Wang Shufen for being disloyal, saying in a sarcastic tone, "You believe it even when it's a joke."
Wang Shufen: "..." How could she have the nerve to say the three words "just kidding"? She was the one who said it most enthusiastically at the beginning.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, a slightly plump sister-in-law beside them hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, Captain Fu's wedding is a happy event, let's go and get to know him first."
Wang Shufen and Li Huifang put away their own little thoughts.
Standing aside and witnessing the fight between several women, Song Li said: "..." Where there are women, there is war, this is true!
She seemed to have a premonition of her future life.
It must be exciting, and I'm secretly looking forward to it. Why?
