Chapter 18 Moving into a New Home



Jianshu woke up at six in the morning. Seeing that it was getting light outside, he quickly got up and washed.

There were still a few eggs at home. Although both father and daughter ate in the cafeteria, they still had some eggs saved for snacks. However, they had only bought them before Jian Yucheng went on a mission, so there weren't many left.

After boiling all the eggs, Jianshu took out ten meat buns from the space. These meat buns were stored in the space in his previous life.

Jianshu had a meat bun, two eggs, and a glass of malted milk for breakfast.

After dinner, Jianshu packed up the remaining things at home and sat in the main room waiting for Zhao Mingze to arrive.

At seven o'clock sharp, Zhao Mingze and Meng Ying came to Jian's house together.

Jian Shu opened the door and welcomed the two in: "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Meng, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? There are still some buns and eggs at home. Let's eat them before moving."

Meng Ying was also not shy: "Shushu is so thoughtful. Your Uncle Zhao and I haven't eaten it yet. Did you buy this at the state-owned restaurant like the braised pork?"

Meng Ying grew up watching Jian Shu, so of course she knew that she couldn't cook.

Jian Shu made a cup of malted milk for each of them, otherwise they would choke easily. "Yes, I went to the courtyard to clean up yesterday, and had lunch at a nearby state-owned restaurant. It tasted very good, so I packed some away."

Zhao Mingze took a bite of the bun and said, "It tastes really good. Shushu can eat there for the next two days, and then he can eat in the cafeteria after work in two days.

I've already made an appointment with the department store and you should report there next Monday.

I have a mission tomorrow, so I won't take you with me. You can go directly to Chief Zhou in the Personnel Department there. I have already made arrangements.

These two days are just the right time to clean up and buy some necessities."

Today is September 6th, Friday, and it will be Monday in two days.

When Meng Ying heard about eating in the cafeteria, she said to Jian Shu, "Shu Shu, you still have to learn how to cook in the future. The company cafeteria is not like the army cafeteria, and it is not open on Sundays.

You can't eat at a state-owned restaurant every day. Money is a minor issue. The main issue is that it's too high-profile and can easily lead to trouble."

Jianshu is not an ungrateful person, and Meng Ying only advises her because she truly cares about her.

Jian Shu: "I know Aunt Meng. When I get there, I plan to cook by myself. I've cooked before, but I'm not very good at controlling the heat when using wood or coal, so the food tends to get burnt."

Jianshu also learned cooking when she was a child. It was okay if someone else was cooking, but if she did it by herself, it would easily burn the pot.

Food was precious, so Qiao Ling did not force her to learn. He thought that when she got married, she would find someone who could cook, or find someone in the army so that they could continue to eat in the cafeteria.

But now Jianshu knows how to cook, and his cooking skills are pretty good, but it’s hard to say it out now.

After hearing this, Meng Ying said to Zhao Mingze, "It seems like there's liquefied gas now that doesn't require burning wood or coal. Old Zhao, go ask around and find a way to get Shushu some."

Zhao Mingze nodded and agreed readily: "Okay, I'll go ask this afternoon, it should be fine."

The two finished their breakfast quickly. Meng Ying ate two buns and an egg and drank a cup of malted milk, and the rest was eaten by Zhao Mingze.

Zhao Mingze drove a military jeep and helped Jianshu move all the things up. There were a lot of things and they couldn't fit on the car, so some of them were tied to the roof.

It takes about ten minutes to drive to the courtyard. There are very few vehicles on the road these days, and there are no traffic lights, so there is no traffic jam and the road is smooth.

Arriving at the courtyard, Meng Ying and Zhao Mingze moved all their things into the main room. They looked around and nodded, feeling very satisfied with the place.

Zhao Mingze: "This house is nice, the environment and location are both first-rate. The walls are also high. Your Uncle Qian is on a mission these two days. He will come to see you when he returns in a couple of days. When he comes, he can walk around here in uniform and you will be much safer."

These days everyone is in awe of the police.

Meng Ying looked at her watch and realized it was getting late, so she said, "Shushu, it's getting late. Your Uncle Zhao and I have to go back to work. Take your time packing up, and we'll be leaving first."

Meng Ying worked at the Women's Federation and was also a very busy person. Jian Shu did not try to persuade them to stay, so they had to pack their things by themselves, and there was nothing others could do to help.

"Then uncle and aunt, walk slowly and be careful on the road."

Meng Ying stood up and walked out: "Okay, Shushu, be careful on your own. If anything happens, come back to the compound and find us."

Zhao Mingze: "Your aunt is right. We'll be there to support you no matter what happens. I'll have someone deliver the liquefied gas to you this afternoon so you can cook."

Jianshu: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, uncle and aunt."

After sending the two of them to the door, he watched the car drive away and gradually disappear from his sight.

Jianshu turned around and went home, closed the door and started packing his things.

He took out the bedding and spread it out. Because the weather was getting colder, Jianshu took out the thick quilt and put away the thin quilt.

In my previous life, my home was in the central region, so I didn’t know how cold the winter was in the north. But now it’s only early September and I can already feel the cold. It seems that winter will not be easy.

There is floor heating in the military compound, but there is none in the small compound, and there are no kangs either, so we can only rely on coal stoves for heating.

There is only one coal stove at home, and Jianshu plans to find an opportunity to buy another one. Putting two of them together in the house should make it much warmer.

There are also down quilts and silk quilts in the space, which can be taken out and used when the time comes, but one has to be careful. Jianshu decided to lock the door in the future.

However, coal-burning stoves require coal, and coal is now in limited supply. I don’t know if it will be enough by then.

I didn’t stockpile honeycomb coal in my previous life, so I have to think of a way.

There are still two days before work starts, so Jianshu plans to take a walk around tomorrow to familiarize himself with the environment and look for a nearby black market.
