CHAPTER XLIV

Zhou Xiaoran had a very boring day, Tan Shiguo was very busy, she had very little time with her, and she didn't have many places to go, but she still felt a sense of satisfaction to be in such a close space with Tan Shiguo.

After eating in the evening, Tan Shiguo proposed to take Zhou Xiaoran to the family area to have a look, and seeing that Zhou Xiaoran did not refuse, Tan Shiguo grinned.

The family area is composed of rows of neat bungalows, the front two rows of houses appear denser, each with only two rooms, but the rooms are quite large, and they can live in a small courtyard. The back two rows are three-room houses, with a yard in the front and back, and an extra toilet in the back yard.

In fact, it's almost the same, but the house in front of it doesn't have a toilet, so Zhou Xiaoran didn't hesitate to choose the one with a toilet.

Just looking at the structure of the house, Zhou Xiaoran had a general idea in his heart.

"Can you find someone to break the furniture privately?" Zhou Xiaoran asked Tan Shiguo.

After getting a positive answer, she decided to draw some furniture patterns in the next few days, she studied art in her previous life, and she will draw some sketches when she has nothing to do in this life, and it is no problem to draw the furniture patterns she wants.

Finally something was arranged.

There was a loud noise next door, and the distance between the two suites was not far away, about ten meters.

"Maybe the political commissar's sister-in-law is here, let's go over and take a look."

Really.

"Put this cabinet here, next to the wall, yes, that's it."

"The bed is a little bit deeper, push harder, you haven't eaten? I got it. ”

"You go get the futon or something."

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, there was a cool female voice, this is probably the daughter-in-law of Political Commissar Xu, it seems that she is really a sharp-tongued person as he said.

"Lao Xu, why don't you ask me to help." Tan Shiguo shouted loudly in the courtyard.

Hearing this, Commissar Xu walked out, followed by a petite woman, who looked very young, not like Commissar Xu's age.

Zhou Xiaoran followed Tan Shiguo and called his sister-in-law, and listened to them with a smile.

"As soon as your sister-in-law came this morning, she bought furniture in the county seat and pulled it over, so that she could rest tonight."

The woman glanced at Political Commissar Xu, "You don't even have a guest house where the bird doesn't, why don't I hurry up and clean it up, where can I sleep?" ”

said to Tan Shiguo and Zhou Xiaoran again: "Sure enough, as our old Xu said, young and promising, I don't know what to call you, this is my brother and sister, ouch, it's really the right pair."

Tan Shiguo replied: "Just call me Xiao Tan, this is my object, surnamed Zhou." ”

The woman smiled a little more enthusiastically, but she didn't really call Xiao Tan, after all, Tan Shiguo is the number one, and Xu Li is the one who does political work, and he is the second in command, "My name is Ma Yue, and I have been married to our old Xu through the introduction of the organization, and it has been eight years." ”

After listening to Ma Yue, I realized that Ma Yue was fifteen years younger than Political Commissar Xu, just turned twenty-five, and in Zhou Xiaoran's opinion, she was the same generation as her.

"Hmph, if I hadn't rescued him, he would have to continue beating the singles."

Political Commissar Xu also nodded frequently on the side: "Yes, yes, yes, yes." provoked Ma Yue to pass with a few pink punches, and Political Commissar Xu accepted it with a smile.

It can be seen from the relationship between the two that Political Commissar Xu is very doting on Ma Yue, and although Ma Yue looks delicate, his eyes are shining when he looks at Political Commissar Xu.

Zhou Xiaoran saw that they were busy, and they didn't stay long, they said a few words and prepared to leave, before leaving, Ma Yue also pulled Zhou Xiaoran and said: "It's really good that you want to come over, we will be neighbors at that time, I was worried that I couldn't talk about it before I came, but now I can be relieved with you." He also told Zhou Xiaoran and Tan Shiguo to come to dinner tomorrow, and their new home opened fire for the first time.

The family area is the first military wife to move in.

I still like Ma Yue and Zhou Xiaoran very much, although they don't get along for a long time, she is very good at talking, and she doesn't have to worry about being cold when she is with her.

After looking at the house, she began to have a hint of anticipation for her future life in the army.

"You'll be seventeen in the New Year."

"Hmm."

"One year to go."

"Hmm."

"I wish life would go by sooner."

"Hmm."

Tan Shiguo stopped and turned around, and said solemnly to Zhou Xiaoran: "We won't stay in this place for the rest of our lives. ”

Zhou Xiaoran also nodded solemnly, "Hmm." ”

Tan Shiguo smiled and rubbed Zhou Xiaoran's head with his hand, "Silly girl." ”

Zhou Xiaoran took Tan Shiguo's hand and looked up at him, "If I say that I have a big secret to hide from you, will you be angry?" ”

Tan Shiguo looked at Zhou Xiaoran seriously and said, "Everyone has the right to have secrets, but every family also needs to be properly honest, what I can assure you is that I am absolutely honest with you." ”

I'm really going to talk to her, this bad-hearted guy.

Zhou Xiaoran walked forward with his hands behind his back, Tan Shiguo followed with his eyes, and finally couldn't help asking: "Daughter-in-law, what secrets are you hiding from me?" ”

This man... Cards that don't follow common sense! Shouldn't it be said that she will be respected and given free space?

"Daughter-in-law, don't run, beware of falling when it's dark."

………

When he arrived at the dormitory, Zhou Xiaoran pushed Tan Shiguo away and entered the room alone, Tan Shiguo stood in front of the door and was annoyed, where did he provoke his daughter-in-law?

After getting used to it for two days, Zhou Xiaoran was already able to stay undisturbed by the wake-up number, and slept until dawn, the breakfast that Tan Shiguo put at the door was already cold, and Zhou Xiaoran ate two cold fritters without disgust.

She took out a pencil and sketch paper from the space and began to draw the furniture patterns, all of which were very simple, but the shapes were a little more chic than the usual styles nowadays.

Tan Shiguo came to see him twice, once to bring lunch, and expressed his admiration for Zhou Xiaoran for being able to stay in the house all day.

In the evening, Tan Shiguo drove her to the family area in a jeep.

Ma Yue has already prepared a large table of dishes, although there are not many meat dishes, but there are many tricks, and the cooking skills are very good. Zhou Xiaoran followed into the kitchen and helped mix cold dishes.

"These are all dishes that Lao Xu bought from the canteen, and there are no good things to entertain, Lao Xu said that in the future, we will open up the open space before and after to plant vegetables, and grow whatever we want."

Ma Yue's happy appearance is really not as reluctant to come here as Tan Shiguo said.

Eight or nine people came one after another, and the people who came all came with something more or less in their hands, and Zhou Xiaoran and Tan Shiguo also brought some dried fruits and nougat. After everyone sat around the table, Zhou Xiaoran and Ma Yue served the last two dishes, and sat down next to their respective men at the invitation of everyone.

"Now we have a little bit of life, my sisters-in-law have made a good start, and I can let my family come over." It was a chubby man who spoke, listening to them call him Director Li, who was from the logistics side, in the office building in front of the family area, it was not easy to grow into a fat man in these years, and the family must be very thick.

"No, it's been a long time since we've eaten the food made at home, and the canteen canteen every day is about to vomit me." His face is darker than Tan Shiguo's, his voice is very loud, and he likes to slap the table when he talks about excitement.

"Wow, I'm going to tell Dali, our Xu squadron dislikes the food he cooks, and he will cry." ridiculed Xu Squadron is a man whose appearance can be described as beautiful, Zhou Xiaoran was really surprised when he saw it for the first time, he looked like a demon, it was completely in line with the aesthetics of beautiful men in later generations, and there was no trace of femininity, so he couldn't help but take a second look, which attracted Tan Shiguo's side eyes on her, Zhou Xiaoran coughed lightly and looked away, she just hadn't seen a handsome guy for a long time.

"Don't you, I can't stand the aggrieved appearance of a one-meter-nine gentleman in front of me." Squadron Xu waved his hand again and again in fright, making everyone laugh.

Ma Yue brought sorghum wine from home, "My old Xu is good at this, I don't know how to panic in the army all these years, I brought a little to satisfy his hunger, you can all taste it." ”

When a few of the big men heard that there was wine, they all became excited.

"We are not bad in the army, when I was in the Northeast, I drank Lao Maozi's vodka, I think it is still not as good as the two-pot head that my father drank when I was a child."

"What's the other wine? It's like soy sauce soup, the kind of wine that foreigners drink. ”

Director Li grabbed the conversation, "You're talking about wine, which is only sold in overseas Chinese remittance stores." ”

"Yes, yes, wine."

Zhou Xiaoran couldn't help but interject when she saw that everyone was talking enthusiastically, "When I come over next time, I will also bring you some wine made by myself." ”

Zhou Xiaoran's words can be regarded as attracting everyone's attention.

"The captain's sister-in-law still makes wine? Team Tan, you are so blessed. The man who spoke was a man named Yu Dawei, the deputy captain, Zhou Xiaoran always felt that he always spoke with a hint of flattery, and there was a faint sense of condescension to other people who were lower than him.

Tan Shiguo was also surprised, he didn't know that his little daughter-in-law had this ability.

Zhou Xiaoran glanced at Tan Shiguo proudly, you don't know much.

Everyone was very happy to eat a meal, and they kept thanking Ma Yue and Xu Licai when they left.

When he went back, Zhou Xiaoran resolutely refused to let Tan Shiguo drive, although he insisted that he didn't drink much, but this mountain road was dark and it was easy to go to the ditch.

Squadron Xu said, "Then I'll drive, I'm sober." ”

was still rejected by Zhou Xiaoran.

"Then we can't go back, we can't see the black light." Tan Shiguo said helplessly.

"I'm going to drive, I haven't drunk." Zhou Xiaoran said.

The four men present all opened their mouths in surprise, and closed them only after Zhou Xiaoran climbed into the cab and started the car.

It's not Zhou Xiaoran who blows it, her driving skills are even praised by male friends who play racing.

When he returned to the camp safely, Tan Shiguo was still a little like he was dreaming.

It's true that there are fewer people who can drive in this era, and even fewer women who can drive.

How many secrets does her daughter-in-law have that he doesn't know, Tan Shiguo suddenly remembered what Zhou Xiaoran said, there is a big secret hidden from him.........
