The house is not big, and as soon as you enter the house, there is a small kitchen, a stove, and an earthen stove.

There is a south-facing bedroom next to it, which is twelve or thirteen square meters, and one side of the earthen kang occupies half of the room.

There were two futons on the kang and two broken benches on the ground, but there was not even a table.

There is a basin on the windowsill, and one is used by Xu Zhenhua to clean up the house.

Xu Zhenhua's movements were very quick, and he had already lit the stove for a while.

"There's a coal mine nearby, and there's no shortage of coal. This season burns a little less, and the house stays warm. Xu Zhenhua said embarrassedly: "The house is a little simple, I will find someone to help make a table and stool, and I will send it over in a few days." ”

Lin Tong thought to himself, this house is not only simple, it is simply nothing!

"It's okay, let's take care of what is missing!"

As long as there is a futon to sleep on.

Lin Tong touched the kang, it was quite clean, it was estimated that Xu Zhenhua had wiped it before.

She found a rag from the outhouse, dipped it with water, and knelt on the kang to wipe it again.

This kung fu Xu Zhenhua also burned the kang on.

After a while, the room was hot, Lin Tong hugged Xiao Nian to the kang and took off his shoes, "You play by yourself for a while, mom and dad clean up, and in the future, this will be our home." ”

As he spoke, he took out the children's pictorial in his bag and showed it to him.

Xu Nian was very obedient and sat on the kang and flipped through the pictorials.

After wiping the windowsill and stool, Lin Tong untied the mouth of the sack he brought, and took out the contents in the same way.

There are old clothes for her and Xu Nian, as well as a few old cloths cut from torn clothes, several pots and chopsticks, large and small, as well as bags of dried vegetables, and even a few large pickle gnocchi.

Xu Zhenhua looked at it in a daze, "What did you bring this pickle for?" How heavy! ”

"Our mother has to put it on, I'm afraid we won't be here."

There wasn't even a cupboard in the kitchen, Lin Tong placed all these categories and sighed, "Well, look, this is all our belongings." ”

Xu Zhenhua felt a little guilty when he heard her say this, "It's okay, my salary will be handed over to you in the future, let's buy it slowly, and everything that is missing will definitely be placed." ”

Lin Tong snorted twice and looked at him, "I haven't told you yet, your salary, I promised to send ten yuan back to our mother every month as their pension money." Otherwise, you think our mother is so happy to let me join the army! This is conditional. ”

Xu Zhenhua was actually prepared in his heart, he was just about to speak, Zhang Guilian pushed the door in, and held a small rice bowl in one hand, which contained Huang Chengcheng's big dumpling porridge, and a rice bowl in the other hand, which turned out to be three boiled eggs, and a large steamed bun mixed with cornmeal and white flour was placed on it.

"Haven't you eaten yet? The porridge is still hot, and my freshly boiled eggs are eaten while they are hot. ”

Xu Zhenhua hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother and sister, what are you doing here?" We've come back from dinner, so take it back, take it back. ”

Their family's food is not rich, and these are enough for their mothers to eat for a day.

Lin Tong was also quite moved, "Yes, Sister Guilian, we came back from dinner, you can take it back!" ”

Zhang Guilian smiled, "What's polite, but a little bit of food, I will keep it for breakfast tomorrow after eating it at night." When you first came, there must be nothing, and they don't have much pay as soldiers, so you can save a little bit. Wait for tomorrow, my sister will take you outside to take a look around and see what you are missing. ”

Lin Tong looked at Xu Zhenhua hesitantly, he nodded, "Then thank you brother and sister." Tomorrow there is something going on in my troops, so I will trouble you to take her out for a walk. ”

"What's the trouble!" Zhang Guilian looked at the room, "It's a little simpler, I see, you have a lot to buy." But it doesn't matter, if you can't buy it for a while, if you need it, go up to me and get it. Whatever, I've lived here for more than two years, and I have everything I need to live. ”

Lin Tong saw her sincerity, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't trouble Sister Guilian in the future, just don't bother me then." ”

Zhang Guilian said: "Look, how refreshing it is!" Alright, I have to go back too, it's time for the kid to sleep. Turning to leave, he thought about it and then advised, "Remember at night, the house and the outside door should be locked, and a thick stick should be prepared in the house." ”

Lin Tong sent her away before he smiled and said, "Sister Guilian is so good!" However, is the security here so bad? ”

Xu Zhenhua waved his hand, "That's not it, whether it's in the town or in the county, it's still quite safe, and the reason why the door is locked is to be prepared!" ”

has her own home, although it is so simple, Lin Tong is still very interested, she pointed to this with great interest: "Put a cabinet here, dishes and chopsticks and the like have to be put in, it is best to put two layers up and down, and put soy sauce and vinegar and the like on top of it......"

Xu Zhenhua said: "The tables and stools will be delivered in a few days, I haven't thought about the bowl rack, but don't worry, I asked them to make a piece and send it over." ”

The two of them discussed what to add, such as shelves, tables, stools, chests or cabinets, but everything must be in the open.

There is no need to add bowls and chopsticks for the time being, but oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are essential.

Moreover, there is also food.

Fortunately, after completing the formalities for joining the army, you can go to the grain store to buy vouchers.

After saying this, Lin Tong felt that his mouth was a little dry, "I have to buy a kettle, I have drunk enough water from this big pot, how can there be a smell of brushing pot water!" ”

Xu Zhenhua had already dried boiled water and poured her a bowl, "Okay, that's whatever you want, anyway, there are blacksmith shops in this town, and the supply and marketing cooperatives can also sell ready-made." ”

Lin Tong drank half a bowl and entered the house with the bowl, "Xiao Nian, come and drink some water!" ”

When I raised my eyes, I found that Xu Nian had fallen asleep on the kang.

"This kid is sensible, and he's tired along the way." Lin Tong said and put down the bowl in his hand.

Commander Xu Zhenhua said: "You spread the mattress, and I will take off his clothes." ”

Lin Tong helped the child take off all the clothes and pants outside, and the cotton pants also faded.

Xu Zhenhua had already laid out the mattress, "Okay, I'll hug him!" ”

He hugged his son, thinking that Lin Tong was really serious about taking care of the child, this kid was a lot heavier than a few months ago.

Lin Tong went to mix warm water, helped Xu Nian wipe his face, wiped his hands and feet, covered the quilt, and yawned himself.

"Are you sleepy? Give me the rag, and you can wash and sleep too! ”

Lin Tong sat in the car for a few days and felt that her body was stained, she pursed her lips, "That's okay, you accompany the children in the house, I'll scrub it in the kitchen." ”

She brought her own basins with her, and both basins were scooped with most of the warm water.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she turned off the kitchen light, took off her blouse, scrubbed it, got dressed again, and washed herself in the basin she had brought.

After she had washed everything, she called Xu Zhenhua to come out to help, "You help me pour the water, I want to wash my hair." ”

It's not that she can't pour water, there is no swill bucket in the house, she just finished scrubbing, and she is afraid of going out to catch a cold.

Xu Zhenhua didn't say a word, went out and poured dirty water, "I have to buy a rubber bucket tomorrow." ”

"You wash your hair tomorrow morning, how uncomfortable it is to wash your hair at night and sleep without dry hair!"

Lin Tong scratched his scalp, "No, I haven't washed it for a few days, it's weird and uncomfortable." ”

Xu Zhenhua stopped squeaking.

But after pouring water, Lin Tong found out that there is no soap or soap at home, so you can't wash it with water, what's the difference between that and not washing?

"Forget it, let's wash it tomorrow when I buy soap!" Lin Tong entered the house and called him, "The water is still hot, you can wash it too!" ”

When Xu Zhenhua entered the house, he found that Lin Tong had fallen asleep next to Xu Nian.

Under the light, her little face was very tired, and she was really tired these days.

After several days of driving, I couldn't lie down, and it was very uncomfortable to sit for a long time, so I could only stand up and move.

I have to hold Xu Nian when I go to bed at night.

It's losing money again, getting off the wrong car, starving, and meeting wolves, all of which are all things that a rural girl has never met, although she didn't say it, Xu Zhenhua still knew that she was tired.

Gently helping her put on the quilt, Xu Zhenhua lay on the other side of Xu Nian with his arms propped up, watching the two.

Xu Nian snorted a few times in his sleep, Lin Tong closed his mouth, stretched out his hand reflexively, patted him, and hummed in his mouth, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Nian, mom is here!" ”

may have felt that his mother was beside him, and Xu Nian quieted down.

Xu Zhenhua's eyes are softer, and this kind of unconscious action can see whether it is sincere.

handed over the child to Lin Tong, and he was even more relieved.

I also look forward to living together as a family like other people's families.

Just like now, a family of three is lying on a kang, this feeling is so beautiful!

When Lin Tong woke up early in the morning, he found a burst of fragrance coming from the house.

She yawned, rubbed her eyes, and walked into the kitchen, "It's so fragrant, you got up so early?" ”

"I'm used to it, and I'll have to go back to the army in a moment." Xu Zhenhua's hot porridge also has two pieces of mutton in it, and the porridge is soaked in oil, which smells particularly fragrant.

Lin Tong's face was a little unpleasant, not because the man said that he would leave in a while, but

"Xu Zhenhua, I want to go to the toilet."

Xu Zhenhua patted his head, "I forgot to tell you, when you go out, you will have it in the backyard." ”

Lin Tong breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not a public toilet, otherwise how would he go out at night!

The front yard is very small, only fifteen or sixteen square meters, but the backyard is not small, and there is a vegetable garden.

Yesterday came late, Lin Tong didn't pay attention to the fact that this piece of house should be a family room built by the army.

There are two families in each house, and there may be enough space, and the distance between each house is not close, more than ten meters away.

They live in the same building as Zhang Guilian's house, but from the outside, her house is obviously larger.

In the backyard of Zhang Guilian's house, there was a large flock of chickens, and just when she came out to feed the chickens, she saw Lin Tong say hello: "Have you eaten?" ”

Lin Tong.

When she grew up, the greetings of Chinese people were no longer like this.

She just wanted to hehe, she just came out of the toilet!

"Sister Guilian, you have raised so many chickens!" Simply avoid the topic directly.
