Chapter 138 Neighbors
After cleaning the house, Song Jinglin took his lunch box and went to the cafeteria.
Although there was some food at home, there was no vegetables.
After spending so much time on it, I'm too lazy to make it now.
The food in the military district cafeteria was very good, and the two of them quickly finished their lunch.
After dinner, Song Jinglin went to the team.
This leave was specially approved for him, so he still has to go back and report as soon as possible.
——————
Although Liu Qingqing and her husband didn't meet anyone when they got married, most of the neighbors knew about it by noon.
Not long after Song Jinglin arrived, two military wives came in.
They all look to be in their thirties.
However, some people at this time look old, and it is hard to say.
Before Liu Qingqing could speak, a woman with a bright smile introduced herself first: "Sister, I live in the courtyard next to you. We will be neighbors from now on. My name is Guo Fengjuan, and my husband is Yao Ranpeng. I heard that you moved in today. Is there anything I can help you with? Feel free to ask, but don't be polite with the sisters-in-law."
Liu Qingqing quickly memorized Yao Ranpeng's name, and with a smile, she pulled the two of them into the house to sit down. "My name is Liu Qingqing. I'll have to trouble you sisters-in-law to take care of me from now on. Come in quickly. There's nothing to clean. We can just clean it up and live here."
Guo Fengjuan glanced to the side and said, "Hey, sister is a hardworking person. She has already finished it in such a short time."
Liu Qingqing waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, please don't praise me. I'm lazy and haven't done much to tidy up."
Guo Fengjuan glanced at her belly and said, "At this time of the month, it must be very painful to travel all the way."
"It's not bad, but the car ride is long."
Guo Fengjuan: "Do you need any furniture or something? There's a carpenter not far from our family quarters."
Liu Qingqing smiled and shook her head: "I think the furniture in the room is pretty good, so I can just use it directly."
"This house of yours used to be where the regiment commander lived. His wife was a capable person and had always kept the things in the house in good condition. Now they've built a small building, and all the leaders above the regiment level have moved in. These things don't fit in there anymore, so they haven't moved in." His tone was full of longing for the building.
Liu Qingqing nodded, and said that one had to be of a certain level to live in the building.
Her family member Song Jinglin is at the battalion level, so it’s not even her turn.
But she prefers the yard, which offers more privacy than a building.
She had just seen that building, which had an open-air corridor and shared toilets, and the conditions were average.
The two chatted for a while, and Liu Qingqing glanced at the other woman who had been silent since she entered the room.
At this moment, she stared at her belly...
Guo Fengjuan followed Liu Qingqing's gaze and quickly nudged the woman with her elbow. "Her name is Qiu Xiaoshuang, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's wife. She's from the same regiment as us men. She lives west of your house. The three of us are neighbors, so we came here together."
The woman looked at herself and smiled: "How many months have you been here?"
Liu Qingqing's smile faded a little. This person's behavior was strange, and she didn't want to have any contact with him. "It's almost seven months."
Qiu Xiaoshuang nodded and fell silent again.
Guo Fengjuan laughed and changed the subject: "Girls, you've been busy all day, take a break, and we can talk together tomorrow."
After saying that, he pulled Qiu Xiaoshuang out the door.
Originally, the men on both sides worked together and had a good relationship at the time. She thought that the rear area should also be united and support the men's work.
As a result, Qiu Xiaoshuang went crazy as soon as he entered the room, making them look like bad guys.
"Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Qiu, please come visit us again when you have time." Liu Qingqing politely sent the people away, locked the gate, and let the tech mouse out.
I didn't let it clean too much, just thoroughly clean the area around their beds.
As for other places, take your time.
But when Song Jinglin came back that night, he saw that the room was bright.
He did a job that ten cleaners couldn't do in an afternoon. Isn't that asking for trouble?
Song Jinglin is not a fool.

Guo Fengjuan walked out the door, her face immediately falling: "You idiot, you're putting on such a stinky face again, making it seem like you're out to cause trouble for me."
Qiu Xiao's eyes seemed to be blank, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "I didn't show any displeasure, I'm sorry, Sister Guo."
Guo Fengjuan shook her head and said nothing more to her.
Ever since Qiu Xiaoshuang came to join the army, the two have gotten along very well.
She is usually taciturn and never talks about other people's shortcomings.
I just stare blankly at other people getting pregnant and giving birth.
She was a poor person. I heard that she was pregnant before she joined the army.
It seemed that she was tortured to death by her husband's family, and things became difficult after that, and she never wanted to go back.
As for any more details, Xiaoshuang didn't say anything more.
She is a tight-lipped person, unwilling to talk about other people's affairs, nor about her own affairs.
This time, it looked even weirder than before, and she was a little scared.
"Come on, go back and have some rest. I'll call you to work later."
Both of them worked in a textile factory run by the military dependents district.
Qiu Xiaoshuang nodded silently without saying anything more.
