Lu Jingchuan showered quickly, and when he came out, he helped Gong Linglong carry the hot water to the bathroom. He then wrapped himself in a military coat and said to her, "Linglong, I'm going to run something. I'll be back in half an hour."
"Okay, it looks like it's raining outside, so hold an umbrella and don't get wet."
Gong Linglong said as she took out an umbrella for him and placed it at the door. As for what he did outside, she never asked too much. This was the self-awareness that a military family member should have.
Lu Jingchuan did not leave the family quarters. He went to the home of the art troupe leader holding an umbrella. Meng Xiaoying was willful and unreasonable in bullying his wife, and he would not turn a blind eye. He had to have a good talk with the art troupe leader tonight.
Director Xue of the art troupe had just finished an ideological education class in the troupe, criticizing Meng Xiaoying and Xu Wei by name, and also informing them of the punishment imposed on them by Political Commissar Zhao.
Before he could even have a hot meal when he got home, Lu Jingchuan came to his door. He was immediately overwhelmed and quickly and politely invited him into the house and made him a pot of good tea.
Others may not know Lu Jingchuan's background, but Captain Xue knows a thing or two.
He is a top elite known throughout the army. Although he is young, he has made great military achievements and has successfully completed many top-secret missions. His superiors all praise him. Last year, leaders of major military regions personally competed for him, and later the Seoul Military Region used all its means to snatch him away.
Now that they had just gotten married, the young wife was inexplicably bullied by the people in the art troupe. When Captain Xue heard about this, he was overwhelmed.
Meng Xiaoying usually performed very well in the group, and Captain Xue had high hopes for her. However, after understanding the whole story, his impression of her was greatly reduced, and he gave her a harsh reprimand tonight.
Meng Xiaoying didn't know that Lu Jingchuan had visited Captain Xue's home. She was crying loudly in the dormitory in grievance. She still hadn't realized her mistake and was still resentful of Gong Linglong and other family members for their arrogance and domineering behavior.
When Lu Jingchuan came back, Gong Linglong had finished her shower and was scrubbing clothes in the bathroom, while Bai Shuixian was sitting under the living room light reading a newspaper.
"Linglong, let me wash it."
The troops have a lot of training, rolling in the mud every day, and sweating a lot. The outer training uniforms have to be changed and washed every day.
"No, I'll be done soon. You've had a hard day of training, go sit down and rest."
Gong Linglong didn't let him do it. She just washed her hands with warm water, so they wouldn't get cold. She wasn't working outside to earn money, and he trained very hard every day, so she should share more of the housework.
Lu Jingchuan was really good to her. He was not a male chauvinist and whenever he was free, he would help with chopping wood, fetching water and doing kitchen work.
In order for a marriage to be long-lasting and happy, both husband and wife must understand and respect each other. Gong Linglong has now completely integrated into the new environment and is working hard to be competent in the roles of wife and military wife.
After she finished washing and hanging the clothes, Lu Jingchuan brought her a cup of steaming hot water and brought the stove to her feet, asking her to warm herself by the fire to ward off the cold.
The young couple is very loving and sweet. Bai Shuixian is the happiest one and is looking forward to having one or two grandchildren in the family soon.
After reading the newspaper in her hand, she got up and went back to the house, urging the young couple, "Go back to the house and rest early. You can sleep a little longer in the morning. I will get up and cook breakfast."
Lu Jingchuan waited until she finished drinking the water and warmed up her body, then brought the stove to the kitchen and couldn't wait to pull her back to the room.
Young people are full of vigor and can be easily ignited by fire.
Two days ago, Lu Jingyang slept in the study next door. The sound insulation of the house was average, so Lu Jingchuan suppressed his emotions a bit. But tonight he completely let go, and within a few minutes, indescribable beautiful sounds were heard in the house.
When I woke up, it was already bright day.
When Gong Linglong got up, her legs were weak and powerless. She sat on the bed and cursed the culprit. Then she went into the space and stayed there for about ten minutes. When she came out, she felt refreshed.
The water in the space pool has an excellent effect. After drinking a large cup, the aches and pains in my body disappeared visibly.
After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she saw that her mother was not at home. She picked up the pancakes and cabbage porridge that were heating in the pot, and poured them into her mouth. After eating, she went out to look for her mother.
"Sister-in-law Yaping, have you seen my mother?"
"She and Ximei went to the river to set up the fish traps. They should be back soon."
Jiang Yaping was washing shoes at home. Seeing that she had just gotten up so late, with a rosy and healthy complexion, she gave her a playful look and said, "You don't have anything special to do these two days, so why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Being teased by her sister-in-law, Gong Linglong rarely felt embarrassed and coughed lightly: "I woke up naturally after sleeping."
"Linglong, you're up."
Bai Shuixian came back with Yu Ximei and the others, all smiles. "Thanks to Ximei and the others' help, we caught quite a few fish and shrimp this morning. We should have enough to fill a bowl if we clean it up."
"These small fish and shrimp are delicious when fried, just as good as big fish."
Gong Linglong loves to eat. She almost finished the bowl of fried food yesterday. Then she went home to move a stool and a basin, and joined the other sisters-in-law to clean up, and also had a chance to chat with everyone.
After collecting the fish and shrimp, the mother and daughter carried the basket into the mountains, intending to find some wild vegetables.
Although there are enough vegetables in the space, it is not easy to take them out frequently. It will be difficult to explain if Lu Jingchuan asks about it later. So I will just find more wild vegetables to eat during this period.
"Linglong, this is plantain, a common Chinese medicinal herb that can also be eaten as a vegetable. Pick some and plant them in your space."
Bai Shuixian has a special understanding of Chinese medicinal materials. Whenever she encounters any medicinal materials, she teaches her how to identify them. She also teaches her about the living habits of the medicinal materials, how to process them, how they work, and how to make the medicines.
Gong Linglong has accumulated some theoretical knowledge by reading books during this period, but the current books are pure text introductions without pictures. She has to memorize the contents of the books by rote. Now that her mother is teaching her on the spot, it is easier for her to learn.
The forests here are rich in species. Before they knew it, they had found nearly twenty kinds of medicinal herbs and planted them in the space. The mother and daughter also slowly walked into the depths of the back mountain.
"Linglong, this is a bit far. There may be wild boars in the mountains. Let's not go in."
The forest was lush with trees, and thick fallen leaves rotted on the ground, making a crunching sound when stepped on. Hearing the eerie chirping of insects and birds from deep in the forest, Gong Linglong felt a little scared and nodded quickly, "Okay, let's not go in. Let's go back."
"Linglong, let's go that way. I saw a mountain road over there before." Bai Shuixian pointed to the southeast.
"Mom, I'll go ahead, you follow me, go slowly."
It snowed a few days ago. The mountains and forests were cool and damp, with no sunlight. Some of the snow had not melted yet, and the mountain roads were very slippery. The mother and daughter walked very slowly.
Walking down the mountain road, just as she walked out of the dense forest, Gong Linglong suddenly heard a very rhythmic "beeping" sound.
She immediately stopped and listened carefully, confirming that the sound came from behind the opposite hillside. She turned back to look at her mother and asked softly, "Mom, did you hear that sound?"
