Thanks to the help of her enthusiastic sisters-in-law, Song Li didn't have to do anything at all, and the house was cleaned up for her.

Some people helped to sweep the floor, some helped to wipe the walls, and some helped to weed the yard. As a result, Song Li, the owner of the house, became the most idle one.

Song Li: “…”

Seeing Song Li standing aside with a sullen look on her face, Xiao Wang reminded her, "Sister-in-law, since the sisters-in-law are helping to clean up the house, would you like to bring your things and blankets over first?"

Song Li thought so too. After Fu Yanci left, she was the only one left. It would be difficult for her, a female student, to live in the dormitory because all the students living on that floor were single men. It would be inconvenient and unsuitable for her to live there.

Well, I'm going to move into the courtyard today.

However, she didn't have time to buy a roof.

How about using Fu Yanci's blanket to make do with it first? Anyway, he will have to live in the family compound when he returns from his mission.

Song Li said hello to her sisters-in-law who were helping her, and took Xiao Wang and Xiao Wu to the dormitory to move things.

Thinking of the clothes she had washed in the afternoon, Song Li did not let Xiao Wang and Xiao Wu in. She went into the house to pack up first. It was hot now and the clothes had already dried.

Song Li doesn't have much stuff, so all of it can be packed into one bag.

As for Fu Yanci's things, Song Li not only took his blanket, washbasin, and hot water kettle, but also stuffed the notebooks and pens on the table into her bag, thinking that they might be useful.

I didn't take anything else.

Waiting for him to come back from the mission and pack up by himself, she didn't know which things he needed and which things he didn't need.

The washbasin and hot water kettle are also used for washing face and drinking water at night and the next morning.

As for the other missing items, she would go to town to buy them tomorrow.

She had already inquired with Xiao Wang, and found out that there was a supply and marketing cooperative in a town not far from the troops. The wives of soldiers usually went to buy things in the town of Yangshu.

There were few things, so Xiao Wu and Xiao Wang each took one and finished them, and Song Li became the idle person again.

When I got home, my sisters-in-law had already cleaned up the house.

The northwest weather gets especially cold when it reaches spring. The houses in the courtyard are bungalows with no heating, so every family has a kang.

The house where Song Li lived also had a kang, and not only the kang was installed, but even the stove was installed.

While helping Song Li to make the kang, Wang's wife said, "Your quilt is a little small. Put it together first. When you have time, you have to tear some cloth to make a bigger one."

Song Li nodded, "I understand, sister-in-law. I will go to town tomorrow to buy the things that are missing at home."

After a pause, she asked again, "Sister-in-law, are you going to town tomorrow?"

She was unfamiliar with the place, and if she wanted to go to the town, she needed someone to take her there.

Mrs. Wang originally didn't plan to go, but considering that Song Li had just arrived and didn't know the way to the town, she also mentioned earlier that Song Li had asked her for help with something.

She nodded and said, "Go, my sister-in-law will call you tomorrow morning."

Song Li responded happily, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Looking at the happy smile on Song Li's face, Aunt Wang curled the corners of her mouth.

I was also wondering, how could Captain Fu, who has such a freezing temper, marry such a lively wife?

No matter how you look at it, these two people can't talk to each other!

Could it be that Captain Fu was simply attracted to Xiao Song's face?

She didn't think so. Captain Fu was not a superficial person. The female volunteers in the labor union were no worse looking than Xiao Song. Captain Fu had never been attracted by so many of them.

Unable to figure it out, Wang's wife gave up thinking about it. After all, it was a matter between two children. She could be curious, but she couldn't ask about it without any reason.

The sisters-in-law were going home after helping, it was getting late. They had to go home to cook, Song Li wanted to pour a glass of water for someone, but there was no cup for drinking water at home.

Song Li could only bow her head to thank them, thinking that she would go to the town to buy some things tomorrow and then go to each of the sisters-in-law who came to help today to thank them.

As soon as the sisters-in-law left, Xiao Wang and Xiao Wu also had to go back to report for work.

One of them was ordered by Commander Lu to help Song Li solve the accommodation problem, and the other was ordered by Instructor Jiang to help.

After Xiao Wang and Xiao Wu left, Song Li was the only one left at home.

Song Li now had time to take a good look at the place where she would live in the future. Apart from the kang and the stove, the house was completely bare.

There wasn't even a table or a chair.

Song Li: “…”

Song Li took out a notebook and a pen from her bag and wrote down what she was going to buy tomorrow while reading.

The last piece of paper is filled with notes.

Song Li didn't know the exact prices of the things written on the paper, so she made a rough calculation based on her understanding of the prices of goods at that time.

This calculation gave me a shock.

All the things added up, it cost a hundred yuan.

Then she thought of a fatal question: where would the money come from to buy things?

Fu Yanci seemed to have forgotten to give her money!

Not only did he not give her money for shopping, he didn't even give her this month's living expenses!

Song Li was extremely upset. How could she have forgotten such an important thing!

I don’t know whether Fu Yanci is still in the army.

Fortunately, she still had the 200 yuan that Fu Yanci compensated her with in her bag, so she had to use it at the critical moment.

I'll ask Fu Yanci to reimburse me when he returns from his mission.

Song Li had already planned to use the two hundred yuan to buy things first, as someone was coming to her house in the evening.

A man and a woman came. The man was wearing a military uniform, looked to be in his thirties, and looked quite tough.

The woman had her hair cut short and was holding a large porcelain bowl in her hand.

Huang Lili stepped forward and introduced herself with a smile, "Hello, Xiao Song Zhi, my name is Huang Lili, I am the director of women's affairs at the family home, and I am mainly responsible for the work of our family home. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."

After that, she pointed to the man beside her and said, "This is my lover, Jiang Weiguo, he is also the instructor of Captain Fu. If you have any problems that you can't solve in the future, you can also look for him."

After that, she handed the bowl in her hand to Song Li and said, "Since you just moved today, the cooking staff may not have had time to prepare the food yet, so I brought a bowl of rice that I made myself. You can eat a little first."

Song Li looked at the large enamel bowl in front of her. There were several dishes on it, including shredded potatoes, peppers, and eggplants. There should be rice underneath the dishes. She saw a grain of rice on the edge of the bowl.

Song Li indeed hadn't had dinner yet, and she had been planning to just have a couple of snacks later.

Unexpectedly, someone brought her food.

Smelling the faint aroma of vegetables, Song Li became breathlessly hungry.

The meal was served, and Song Li couldn't refuse it. She took the bowl and politely said, "Thank you, Director."

Huang Lili scolded, "Why call me Director Huang? That sounds strange. Call me sister-in-law."

Song Li readily called out "Sister-in-law."

Huang Lili was stunned for a moment, then she grinned. Captain Fu’s wife was quite easy to get along with.
