[Chapter 323 Chapter 323 Where is our new home? ]
Opposite the gate of the Sharp Brigade is a long asphalt road with neatly planted trees on both sides.
Walking along the road, you can see several training grounds on both sides.
The training ground was obviously the first to be completed, and Shen Yuyao saw a lot of equipment on those grounds that she had never seen before.
Although she was curious, she did not ask any further questions, and Cheng Liyan did not introduce them to her one by one.
The two people walked along the road.
Behind the training ground, Shen Yuyao also saw several rows of newly built red brick houses that were arranged very neatly.
Those brick houses, with sloping roofs made entirely of red bricks and gray tiles, all had huge red five-pointed stars nailed on the highest point of the eaves.
"Those are the soldiers' training rooms and the team's activity center. The brigade hospital is also built over there."
Cheng Liyan knew that Shen Yuyao must be concerned about this, so he pointed it out to her.
Shen Yuyao leaned her head to look in the direction he pointed, but unfortunately the houses were all exactly the same and she couldn't tell where the man was pointing.
After walking for a few more minutes, Shen Yuyao pointed to a few four-story buildings still under construction not far away and asked, "What are they building?"
"Soldiers' quarters."
"That's the cafeteria." Cheng Liyan pointed in another direction: "Our cafeteria is quite big. We built a two-story building by ourselves. Don't worry, I eat well in the team."
Shen Yuyao looked at the small building, whose scaffolding had not yet been completely removed, and remained skeptical about her husband's words.
Shen Yuyao had heard Cheng Liyan say several times before that the Vanguard Brigade was still just a framework and had not been completed yet, but to be honest, she didn't realize that it had not been completed at all!
She thought it was just like when she was in the 125th Division, where they just added some buildings to the existing units.
Now it seems that this project cannot be completed in one or half a year.
Shen Yuyao is not worried about anything else, she is only worried about the family building.
"Where is our new home?" she asked.
"Over there, a piece of land has been specially designated for building a family compound." Cheng Liyan pointed in a direction.
Shen Yuyao looked in the direction of his finger.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
It turns out that the family compound is still filled with several big holes!
The foundation hasn't even been laid yet, so when will it be completed?
Seeing his wife pouting, Cheng Liyan could only persuade her kindly: "It will be very soon. The slow progress at the moment is mainly because we have to focus on the construction of the camp first. Once this side is completed, the other side will be ready soon.
If I say half a year, it will be half a year. After half a year, I will definitely let you live in a new house!"
Although Shen Yuyao was a little disappointed, she was not ignorant of reason. She certainly knew what was more important.
She didn't let Cheng Liyan say too much, and consoled herself by saying, "It doesn't matter if it's later. Actually, we are used to living in Anhuai now, so it's okay to stay here for now."
Hearing his wife say this, Cheng Liyan pursed his lips and swallowed back the words of persuasion that he had not yet said.
He looked at his wife, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the bag, I'll hang it on the handlebar."
When Shen Yuyao came out, she was carrying a military schoolbag. Because there was space, the bag was just a decoration, and it was light and empty inside.
Seeing that the man was still trying to take it, she glared at him and said, "Don't waste time. Where do you live? Take me to see it."
While they were talking, several squadrons of soldiers passed by them, all heading towards the cafeteria.
Whenever these people passed by them, they would tense up and move in extremely standard ways, even though they took Cheng Liyan's identity into consideration.
But from time to time, someone would secretly look at them. It was obvious that this group of young people were very curious about Shen Yuyao.
Shen Yuyao felt a little embarrassed to be "visited" by so many people. She moved closer to Cheng Liyan and urged him again.
Cheng Liyan’s dormitory was not far away, and it only took about ten minutes to walk along the main road to get there.
This is a separately designated dormitory area, with eight rows of houses similar to the previous red brick houses.
No one knows what these houses will be used for in the future, but they are obviously being temporarily used as living quarters for soldiers and cadres.
Cheng Liyan's room was in a large room, which was temporarily divided into four small rooms by wooden boards, and he occupied one of them.
The small room was only a few square meters, not even as big as the house of Sister Qian that Shen Yuyao had rented at the beginning.
There was an unfolded folding camp bed inside, and at the head of the bed was a small single table like those found in the classroom and a wooden chair.
There was a simple clothes hanger placed next to the single table, with two clothes hangers hanging on it, on which were hung the clothes that Cheng Liyan washed last night.
Shen Yuyao didn't expect her husband's room to be so simple. She was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.
Cheng Liyan pulled out a chair and motioned for his wife to sit down, then he sat on the folding bed himself.
He held out his hand: "Give me something to eat. Do you have any pie? I've been craving for the pie at home on the way. Do you have any mutton pie? Give me one. Oh, I'm really craving it!"
Shen Yuyao knew that her husband was interrupting her on purpose because he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable because of the simple house.
She took out the mutton pie that her mother had sent her earlier from the space, and also took out a pot of ginseng chicken soup.
While Cheng Liyan was eating the pie, she poured a large bowl of chicken soup and placed it next to him, saying stubbornly, "Drink it all."
Looking at the ginseng in the soup that was almost as thick as his little finger, Cheng Liyan's mouth twitched, but he didn't even dare to say a word of refusal.
After finally finishing a lunch box of pie and half a bowl of chicken soup, Cheng Liyan rubbed his bloated stomach and put down his chopsticks.
He then asked, "What is the matter that brought you here today? Is it because of my mother? Or is it because of my second brother?"
The comrade-in-arms had only called to tell him that his wife had come to the army, and did not mention what had happened at home, so Cheng Liyan could guess that something must have gone wrong with his mother-in-law.
Shen Yuyao did not hide it and took out all the letters that her second brother had written during this period.
Looking at the thick stack of family letters, which was almost as thick as a book, Cheng Liyan was extremely shocked.
"These are all written by my second brother. You should read them quickly. You'd better help him think of a solution after reading them. Otherwise, I think my second brother will go crazy."
Shen Yuyao said speechlessly.
Cheng Liyan took out a letter and started reading.
After looking at it for a while, he picked up the second one.
He read several letters in succession without saying a word, but frowned from time to time, obviously thinking about a solution.
Shen Yuyao waited patiently for a long time, and became more and more anxious as she waited.
She had never seen her husband like this.
Could it be that he had no solution to his second brother's troubles?
"Is it troublesome?" she couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Liyan didn't even raise his head, but just said "um", "a little bit."
