Chapter Eighty-Eight: Settling In

"Old Lei, this is the house you bought?" Tang Lixing stood outside the courtyard and looked at the periphery of the courtyard, "Look at the courtyard wall outside, you can know that the courtyard is very big, I don't know how big it is." ”

"The yard is more than 600 square meters." Lei Zer walked to the door and knocked on the courtyard door.

"It's really big, you have a good eye." Tang Lixing walked around the wall in front of the door with a smile, and he was obviously very satisfied with this place.

Lei Zer smiled: "It's not that I have a good vision, it's my daughter-in-law who has a good vision; She picked this place, and when she bought it, the exterior walls were all pitted, and it was repaired to have this scene. ”

Tang Lixing was stunned for a moment, then nodded clearly, and said without damage: "I see, I'll just say it!" You kid can't even tell the difference between dishes, how can you have such a good eye. ”

Retzer laughed it off.

"Hahaha." Xi Chengtao laughed out loud, "Instructor Tang, it's not authentic for you to expose your shortcomings like this, so don't block your sister-in-law's face!" ”

Feng Jixun pushed him, saw that he was in a hurry, and quipped: "Xi Chengtao, you kid didn't go there kindly." ”

Everyone in the group laughed, indeed, everyone is familiar with each other, who doesn't know whom?

The courtyard door opened, and Song Yuan stood at the door with his back bent, looking at the group and the military card, "You're here!" Things are moving in, too, let's move in. ”

Feng Jixun's laughter stopped abruptly, "Deputy Lei, this old gentleman is ......"

"This old gentleman's name is Song Yuan, and he is the former owner of this courtyard." Briefly introduced, "Mr. Song, these are my comrades-in-arms, and they helped move here this time, and by the way, they recognized the door." ”

"Hello." Song Yuan nodded lightly, with a sense of vicissitudes on his old face, looking at them with a distant gaze.

Let the old gentleman greet them first.

Tang Lixing hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Song Yuan, "Hello Mr. Song, I'm bothering you today." ”

Xi Chengtao and the others also came back to their senses and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"It's okay, come in!" Song Yuan nodded coldly, got out of the way, and stood beside Lei Ce, "My son has arrived, since you came over today, then I will hand over the key to you; I'll leave early tomorrow morning with my son on a plane. ”

"Okay, I've bothered Mr. Song during this time." Lei Ce bowed his head, "I don't know where Mr. Song's son is?" ”

Song Yuan glanced at him, the emotions in those sharp eyes were not revealed, and it was not easy to ask this!

Song Yuan sighed, "He has something to go out, and he can't come back until the evening; You and your daughter-in-law are good people, and if you have time, wait for him to come back and have a meal together. Now, unload your things and move them into your home! I've packed up all the things in the room except for the one I live in, and you can settle in when you move in."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Song." Lei Ze nodded.

"Hmm." Song Yuan turned around and went back to the house, ten years of turmoil had made him develop a habit of staying in the house; Only the house can give him a sense of security, and it is still true today.

After Lei Cemu sent him into the house, he said to Tang Lixing and the others: "Old Tang, Xi Chengtao, Luo Tianjun, Feng Jixun, you can help move things into the house!" ”

"Okay! No problem. Tang Lixing commanded the three of them to unload all the things and move them into the yard one by one.

Retzer pulled the stroller and put the sleeping son in his hand, and pushed it in front of his wife, "Daughter-in-law, sister-in-law." Come in and stay in! It's cold outside. ”

"Sister-in-law, let's go!" After Chu Tianyi glanced at him with a smile, he walked into the courtyard with Luo Yingxiang; I found two stools in the vacant room in the south room and sat down, lifted the thin quilt on the stroller to look at it, and saw that the two boys were still asleep before I was relieved.

"Brother and sister, how do you take care of your children? These two children were so well-behaved by you; Not only is he chubby, but he also has a very good temper. Luo Ying reached out and touched their cheeks, "If only my future children were so well-behaved." ”

"Yes." Chu Tianyi nodded solemnly.

Luo Ying shook her head gloomily, "I don't know when it will be, I don't want to do this; Brother and sister, I think your yard is top-notch, how much did it cost at that time? ”

"Not much, twelve thousand. This courtyard was handed down by the ancestors of Mr. Song's family, and he is also a person who cherishes this courtyard; Therefore, I just mentioned that we must take care of this yard, and the price is lower. Chu Tianyi looked at the repaired house, and there was no trace of old smell from the inside to the outside.

The walls have been painted whitewashed, and the pillars have been painted red, and they look like new.

"Twelve thousand is not cheap, so much money, I'm afraid that what Deputy Lei has saved over the years has been ruined by you, the daughter-in-law of a loser." Luo Ying laughed and poked her waist with her hand, "Isn't it?" Daughter-in-law of a ruined family. ”

"Money! It is used to defeat. ”

"Dead girl, you can say that, too; However, what you say is really reasonable, who is not defeated? Luo Ying laughed heartily, patted her shoulder, squeezed her eyebrows at her and said, "If your words are heard by your Lei Deputy Group, I don't know how you will feel?" ”

"That will definitely say that the daughter-in-law is right!" After Chu Tianyi finished speaking, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

The two hugged each other and laughed happily, the two who have a big age gap can find the feeling of confidant from each other.

"Daughter-in-law, come out for a moment."

"Sister-in-law, I'll go out and have a look." Chu Tianyi got up and walked out of the room, saw Lei Ce standing at the bottom of the steps looking at her, and walked up, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

Lei Ze pulled her and pointed in the direction of the guide room, "Daughter-in-law, choose a bedroom that you are satisfied with, and I will ask them to move the wardrobe in; After a while I went out to buy a few beds and came back, several rooms were a little empty. ”

"Just the first room in front! It sits on the north and faces south, and the location is right. Chu Tianyi casually pointed to the front, "In the future, when our children grow up, let them sleep next door; When they are older, they will be able to live in two rooms in the east and west compartments. ”

"Okay, you go watch the kids!" Lei Ce explained, pushed her into the house, and then turned around and came to Tang Lixing, "Old Tang, I'll trouble you next; The wardrobe and the rest of the salute were moved into the first room in the south room, and I went out to buy a bed, and by the way I came back with some vegetables, and ate here at noon today. ”

"I still don't eat at your place, let's go back and eat; You and your siblings have been busy for two days, and you still have to cook for so many of us, which is really unreasonable. Tang Lixing shook his head again and again.

Lei Ze stabbed him in the chest with an elbow, "Warm room meal, that's it." He walked quickly out of the courtyard.

After a while, the sound of the military card activating came from outside, Tang Lixing shook his head with a smile, and raised his voice: "Xi Chengtao, Luo Tianjun, Feng Jixun, your Lei Deputy Regiment has a treat today, and you will eat here at noon." ”

"Okay, I can eat my sister-in-law's craftsmanship once, it's not bad."

"Yes! As soon as Deputy Lei and his sister-in-law left like this, they had nowhere to eat if they thought about their sister-in-law's cooking; When I was in the army, I could often have a meal, this time! A few of us will be offended. "O sin of the soul!

The four of them worked hard to do this work, talking and laughing, but it was quite leisurely and complacent.

......

Lei Ce bought four beds and came back, and placed them in four rooms, including the east and west wings and the south room, everything was arranged, Lei Ce nodded with satisfaction, "Old Tang, thank you for your hard work." ”

"Let's say that kind thing again." Tang Lixing turned his mind and said with a smile: "You can ask your younger brothers and sisters to cook a few more dishes for us, don't say kind words." ”

"Okay, you wash your hands and rest your face for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen and talk to me."

"Go ahead!" Tang Lixing waved his hand and led the other three to the bathroom in the house.

Lei Ce walked into the kitchen, took a handful of small vegetables to the water tank and scooped water to clean, "Daughter-in-law, make two appetizers, and have a drink with Old Tang and them in a while." ”

"Okay, how about white and cured meats? I brought a piece of cured meat. Chu Tianyi stir-fried the vegetables, and asked without looking back, "Sister-in-law Tang is just cutting white meat, just mix the white meat cold for a while; When you leave, I don't know when Instructor Tang and they will drink together, and have a few drinks at noon. ”

"Yes, you can just watch it." Lei Ce turned his head to look at Luo Ying, who was cutting meat, "Sister-in-law Tang, I'm sorry for you today." ”

Luo Ying put the cut fat on the plate, and walked over with a smile with the white meat, "Don't bother, you quickly wash the vegetables and go out!" If you let Old Tang see your home, I can't laugh at you! He put the white meat on the stove and looked at him with a playful gaze.

"Hehe, just laugh! There won't be many opportunities to laugh in the future. "Reitzer doesn't care.

Chu Tianyi looked back and smiled, "Sister-in-law, I don't believe that Instructor Tang hasn't cooked at home." As long as we've cooked, we can laugh at him for not being there. ”

"You narrow-mindedness!" Luo Ying was speechless, shook his head and walked to the stove, and stuffed firewood into the stove, "Brother and sister, you live in Province A, where will the firewood come from in the future?" You don't want to buy it, do you? ”

Chu Tianyi also faced this problem for the first time, and shook his head, "Most of them are to be bought!" ”

"That's a waste of money, there's nothing missing in the army; If you want to have it on Chai He Mountain, you will also ask for money for oil and salt. ”

"This is also a matter of no choice, he has to study in Province A for three years, and I have to study here for four years; Every place to stay, we are also not convenient. Shaking his head helplessly, this aspect is really expensive.

Luo Ying looked at the neat piece of firewood and shook his head silently, "Why don't you let Old Tang send you firewood regularly?" There are so many dry branches in the back mountain, and the comrades in the army regularly have to go to chop wood; Wait for them to cut the firewood, and when the purchasing comrades arrive in province A, they will pull it for you by the way. ”

"Thank you sister-in-law for your kindness, but don't do it; The impact is not good when the people above know it, besides, how much can it cost to be sleepy and poor? Don't let the people in the army have an opinion for this money. "From ancient times to the present, there have been countless things that have been done for public and private purposes, but how many people have a good end?

Luo Ying hesitated, and saw that she really didn't want to accept it, so she just did it, "You're right, but your expenses in the provincial capital are too big." ”

"I'm not afraid of big expenses, I still have a living allowance for studying in school; Moreover, now that I am studying in Province A, I also have to find time to go to work in the military hospital, so I am not afraid of anything if I have an entry. ”

Luo Ying nodded approvingly and diverted the topic.
