The small courtyard is very neatly cleaned, the ground of the yard is paved flat and neat, and a stone road in the middle leads from the gate to the door of the house, which inadvertently improves the small courtyard several styles, and there is a pile of firewood piled up in the southeast corner, with chopped wood stumbling blocks, dry branches, and two bags of coal, which should have been prepared by Huo Jianfeng in advance.

Just as he was looking, Huo Jianfeng walked over, "What's the matter, are you satisfied?" ”

He walked over with a silk bag in one hand, followed by Lin Hongwei.

Lin Hongwei's left and right hands were not idle, carrying a basket in one hand, the basket contained straw, and the straw was hidden with eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs, all of which were prepared for them by the eldest sister.

"It's good."

Han Mingxiu said pertinently.

When Huo Jianfeng heard her approval, he immediately grinned happily and said, "It's better in the house, let's go, let's go up to the house and have a look." ”

He went to the door, put down the silk bag, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, opened the door, and led them into the house.

After entering the house, Huo Jianfeng pulled the lamp rope, and the electric light turned on all of a sudden, and the fifteen-watt light bulb illuminated the room much brighter than the candles she usually lit.

This is a two-room small ridge room, a small corridor in the middle divides the house into two parts, the big house on the east side is their bedroom, there is a big kang in it, there is a kang table and a kang cabinet on the kang, and an iron stove is installed on the ground, which is used for heating, and the stove still has the big spoon that Han Mingxiu gave her when she came over last time, and in the future, they can also cook and stir-fry on the stove.

In addition, there are two boxes against the east wall, which seem to have been added by Huo Jianfeng later, and cannot be issued by the military region, because this box is also painted with flowers and birds, unlike the style of the military region.

The Westinghouse was small, only two-thirds the length of the Easthouse, and the remaining third was turned out to be used as a kitchen. The Westinghouse was empty, with only a half-meter-high wooden bathtub, a desk, and a chair to serve as a study.

However, when the study also has to wait for the summer in the dang, this season is not OK, there is no stove and no fire kang in this room, the inside is as cold as an ice cellar, if you write in it, I am afraid that you will freeze to death before you finish writing a line.

Right now, in terms of the temperature of this room, it's still okay to be a warehouse!

The kitchen is also very small, there is only one stove in it, there is a small pot on the stove, and there is also a cupboard and a water tank, just these few things, almost the entire space of the kitchen is occupied, and it is difficult to put a sauerkraut tank in it.

However, Han Mingxiu was still very satisfied, she said, "It's really good, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs." ”

Actually, she wanted to tell Huo Jianfeng: This little home is very good, very warm, and she likes it very much.

But the second brother-in-law was next to her, and she was embarrassed to say such sensational words, so she used a good sentence to express her satisfaction.

Huo Jianfeng was naturally very happy to see that his daughter-in-law was satisfied, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a roar from outside:

"Fengzi, you're back!" It was Jang Hyuk's voice.

As soon as the words fell, Zhang He barged in arrogantly, followed by his new daughter-in-law Sun Yingmei.

Sun Yingmei saw that Han Mingxiu was very affectionate, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and said happily: "Xiu'er, it's great that you came over so soon, our family lives in the west courtyard of your house, and we will be neighbors in the future." ”

Han Mingxiu was pleasantly surprised: "Such a coincidence? ”

Sun Yingmei said shyly: "It's not a coincidence, it's Zhang He who specially asked for this room, just to be neighbors with you." ”

Zhang He added: "It's good to go to your house to eat when you're fine......

Huo Jianfeng glanced at him: "If you want to eat, work first." ”

"Yes, yes, work, I'll help you dump things." Zhang He bared his teeth and beckoned at Han Mingxiu, and went out with Huo Jianfeng and Lin Hongwei to pour things.

Han Mingxiu looked at Sun Yingmei, she hadn't seen her for a few days, she seemed to look better than before, and there were more smiles on her face, Han Mingxiu said jokingly: "Yo, bride, I haven't seen you for a few days, she looks beautiful." ”

Sun Yingmei said shyly: "What about me, are you not a bride?" You're newer than me. ”

Han Mingxiu also laughed, touched her with his elbow, and whispered, "Hey, what's wrong?" Is the newlywed happy? Is Zhang He good to you? ”

Sun Yingmei pursed her lips and smiled, nodding slightly: "He's good to me......"

"That's good, it seems that I didn't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, you two are harmonious and beautiful, and I, the matchmaker, can rest assured."

Sun Yingmei said: "You didn't mess up the mandarin duck score, you did a great deed, Xiu'er, you don't know how grateful I am to you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know him, and the two of us couldn't get together, it's really thanks to you......"

Han Mingxiu saw that she was going to sensationalize, so she hurriedly stopped her, and said without seeing anything: "Okay, if you are grateful, help me do some work, I want to make a note, you go and help me carry some firewood." ”

"I'll take it for you." Sun Yingmei agreed, and went to the yard to get firewood.

Han Mingxiu found the noodles and a few eggs that her eldest sister prepared for her, and prepared to make a hot soup noodle and beat a few poached eggs, which saved trouble and adapted to the situation.

However, when she lifted the lid of the water tank and was about to scoop the water and brush the pot, she found that the water in the water tank was frozen, so frozen that the water in the tank had become a big ice lump, and she couldn't scoop it out at all.

Han Mingxiu was worried, and Sun Yingmei walked in with a bundle of branches. When he saw that the water in their water tank had frozen into a lump of ice, he said, "Why don't you go to my house and cook it, you can burn the house tonight, and the water in the tank will almost melt here tomorrow morning." ”

There was no way, Han Mingxiu had no choice but to accept her proposal and go to Sun Yingmei's house to cook noodles and a few eggs.

The layout of Sun Yingmei's house is the same as Han Mingxiu's, the house is very simple, and there is almost nothing.

However, although there is nothing inside, it is full of popularity, and as soon as you enter the house, you will feel a wave of heat coming to your face, warm, with a warm smell.

The two of them came to the kitchen, one lit the fire and the other cooked noodles, talking and chatting while working.

"Xiu'er, I heard that many military wives in this family area are working in the army canteen, and I want to go too, do you think people can want me?" This news was also heard by others when Sun Yingmei first came, and she has been ready to move since she heard about it, but she has not told Zhang He yet.

She heard that working in the canteen earned eight yuan a month, and she wanted to earn that eight yuan to pay off the famine at home.

Before, in order to make up the 300 yuan bride price for her, Zhang He borrowed a lot of famine money outside. She didn't want Zhang He to bear the famine of so much money alone, and she also felt sorry for him to work too hard to earn money alone, so she wanted to find some work to help Zhang He share the burden.

Han Myung-so doesn't know the specific situation here, but Young-mei can take the initiative to take on the responsibility of the family, which Han Myung-so admires. Han Mingxiu said approvingly: "If you want to do it, it's better to let Zhang He help you inquire, if it's suitable for you to do it, it's not bad to do it, anyway, it's okay to stay at home, take advantage of the fact that you don't have children now, make some money lightly, and spend it yourself in the future." ”

"Well, I think so too, then I'll discuss it with him tomorrow, by the way, do you want to go? Why don't we go together? Sun Yingmei proposed.

Han Mingxiu shook his head: "I don't have this idea for the time being, let's talk about it later." ”

This is just her excuse, in fact, Han Mingxiu didn't want to go to the canteen to find any work at all, there were more gold and silver treasures in her space, and any one of them was enough to buy a house and land, so why bother to go to the canteen to earn those eight yuan a month?

Besides, Chen Qiulan, who was in charge of the cafeteria, was still a little bit at odds with her, if she went, with Chen Qiulan's mind, she would definitely have to give her small shoes to wear, so she wouldn't rush to find abuse.

Sun Yingmei was a little disappointed when she heard that she wasn't going, she originally wanted to go with Xiu'er, and the two of them also had a companion together.

"Okay, I'll tell Zhang He about this tonight, if it's okay, I want to go to work as soon as possible." Sun Yingmei said.

She wants to make money as soon as possible and help him share the burden on him as soon as possible......

The three men outside quickly finished emptying their things, and as soon as they were done, they came over to eat. However, Zhang He didn't come back, and was detained by Huo Jianfeng at their house to give them two to burn the kang and stove.

Huo Jianfeng also didn't see Zhang He, thinking that he had finished eating anyway, so let him help them burn the kang and stove, so that when Xiu'er came back, the house would be hot, saving her from freezing......

Zhang He has no opinion on this arrangement, after so many years, he and Huo Jianfeng are like brothers. He can't help his brother make some contributions and do some work, he can't be happy!

Here, Han Mingxiu also cooked the noodles, and there were two poached eggs in each noodle bowl.

Several people sat around the table and ate, Sun Yingmei, like Zhang He, had already finished dinner, so she went to Han Mingxiu's house to help them tidy things up.

In the house, only Han Mingxiu, Huo Jianfeng and Lin Hongwei were left. During the meal, Lin Hongwei took the initiative to say: "There is a guest house in the military region, isn't it far from here?" I'll go to the guest house in a moment. ”

He saw it all, Huo Jianfeng's house only has a kang, if he wants to live here tonight, he will only squeeze a kang with the small couple, he is embarrassed, let's live in a guest house.

Huo Jianfeng didn't refuse, and said: "It's not far from here, it's more than two miles away, I'll send you over after eating in a while." ”

At this time, Huo Jianfeng was a little glad that there was only one kang in the house, and there was no bed. Otherwise, Lianqiao is waiting to stay at their house tonight, if he stays at their house, won't he and his daughter-in-law's wedding night have to be postponed again?

After staying up for three or four days, he finally sent his daughter-in-law's aunt away, and if he was allowed to hold it again, his kidneys would be wrong.
