She handed the kettle back to Lin Jinping: "You can drink some too." ”

"Okay."

Lin Jinping took it and raised his neck and drank two or three sips directly, rolling his Adam's apple up and down.

He screwed the cap of the bottle, put away the kettle and put it back in the package, lifted the sack again with his left hand, and held Xiaomeng's hand with his right hand: "Let's go." ”

When I got out of the train station, I obviously felt that the wind was blowing drier than in Nancheng.

Zhou Yunmeng followed Lin Jinping to an army-green long car.

Lin Jinping explained: "Every three days, military vehicles in the army will carry the military wives from the family building to the city to buy things. I am familiar with my comrade-in-arms who is in charge of driving, and today he doesn't need to use the car when he is resting, so I asked him to borrow a car to pick you up. ”

Usually he went back to the army by himself, and walked back when he got out of the train station. But Xiaomeng is different, she is afraid of getting tired when she walks, and she walks too far back, and there is no bicycle here.

Lin Jinping came up with this method, military vehicles can be borrowed legally, and some comrades-in-arms have borrowed cars to pick up their families before.

Zhou Yunmeng nodded to show that he understood, and was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to drive a car in Jinping." ”

Lin Jinping said: "There are very few people who can drive a car outside, but in the army like ours, who have received special training, driving a car is also a must-learn. ”

He opened the co-pilot's door: "Xiaomeng, you can sit on it first, it may be a little stuffy inside." ”

Zhou Yunmeng should be good, sitting in the car, a little novel.

In the era when there was a bicycle that could straighten its waist when it went out, cars were very rare, and the county town had seen transportation trucks.

It was the first time she had sat in a car, and the steering wheel was in a simple state, and the military car was calm and thick.

Lin Jinping opened the back door, put the sacks and packages on the second row of seats, closed the door and went around to the front to sit in the driver's seat.

He rolled down the window, and when he started the car, he explained softly: "Xiaomeng, you may be dizzy for the first time you take a car, it will be better to open the window for ventilation, if you have any discomfort, just tell me." ”

Zhou Yunmeng should be good: "You can drive with peace of mind." ”

She has no psychological burden, after all, she has been in the car countless times in modern times, and dizziness is not even there.

The car drove forward and followed the main road through the county seat, which was also slow.

Zhou Yunmeng can also look at the shops on both sides of the road through the car window, which are actually much the same, nothing more than supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores.

Lin Jinping also paid attention to Xiaomeng's expression when he was concentrating on driving, and he was relieved to see that she was not dizzy and wanted to vomit.

After passing by several obvious factory family areas, it is obvious that there are fewer buildings, fewer people on the main road, the road is getting more and more empty, and the speed of the car is also faster.

Soon I saw a large shed with rows of tables in it, which looked like stalls.

Lin Jinping looked ahead at the road and said, "This is the market I just said, the management here is not as strict as ours, and there is a farmer's market." ”

"Once every three days, people from the county town, people from nearby communes, and military wives from the army will come here to buy and sell things. The rice, flour and meat in our kitchen were bought by me the day before yesterday. ”

Zhou Yunmeng probably knew that in the original book, the heroine often went to the agricultural market to buy things after she came to join the army, and lamented that although the things here are a little expensive, at least they are more convenient to buy.

Of course, there is still a shortage of fish and meat here, and tickets are also needed, and it is not easy to make money.

After the reform and opening up, the heroine did business, and at the beginning she went to the agricultural market to sell things.

It's a novelty to see it with your own eyes.

When Lin Jinping spoke, she looked at him, obviously feeling that when he mentioned the three of "our family", his eyebrows and eyes were so soft that they were not presentable.

Zhou Yunmeng nodded and said, "It's good, I'll follow when I get back." ”

Lin Jinping nodded: "Yes, when you are rested, I will accompany you." ”

After the farmer's market, the road was obviously more desolate on both sides, with tall trees, and when the wind blew, many yellow leaves were falling.

The road is not easy to walk, a little rugged, and there is a mountain road that bends and turns, thanks to Lin Jinping's good driving skills, quite stable.

After a while, we arrived at the door of the troops.

Lin Jinping showed his ID and introduced to people with a smile: "This is my lover Zhou Yunmeng, come to the army to see me and stay for a while." ”

Zhou Yunmeng handed the letter of introduction and the marriage certificate to the soldiers who were inspecting.

Because I had reported earlier, the other party let me go after verifying that it was correct, and saluted and said, "Hello sister-in-law!" ”

Zhou Yunmeng smiled and saluted back.

The car drove to the military region, the left side went to the training area, and the right side went to the family building.

Lin Jinping explained: "Troops need to check their documents when they enter and exit, and ordinary soldiers can only enter and exit as long as they have a rest day, and those who show their documents can enter and exit at any time." ”

"Xiaomeng, I applied for you to live for a short time, and there are also some military wives in the army who have their own families in the county and work there, and they only come to live here in the army occasionally."

Zhou Yunmeng nodded in understanding.

The car drove slowly along the road, passing by a patch of dormitory buildings, and Lin Jinping pointed to one of them and said, "I used to live on the fifth floor of this building. ”

Further ahead is the obvious building, the first floor also has a yard, and near the third building, Lin Jinping parked the car on the side of the road.

"Our house is on the third floor of this building, the south-facing side is bigger, and the north-facing side is about thirty or forty square meters."

He got out of the car and went around to the co-pilot to open the door, Zhou Yunmeng got out of the car, looked around and felt that the environment was good.

At this point, everyone may be cooking, there are few people on the road, and there are not a few children.

Lin Jinping was the same as when he was at the train station, carrying a package on his left and right shoulders, holding a sack in one hand and his daughter-in-law in the other: "Let's go, Xiaomeng, let's go up." ”

Zhou Yunmeng followed him upstairs.

The stairs weren't narrow, just enough for two people to go up side by side, and they didn't run into anyone else on the way.

On the third floor, there are four houses with staggered doors on both sides, and the middle corridor is barely visible by the light borrowed from the window, but it is also clean.

Lin Jinping led her inside to the room on the right to open the door: "It's here, Xiaomeng come in." ”

He put down the sack and took a pair of shoes at the door for Xiaomeng to change.

Zhou Yunmeng entered the house, the windows in the hall were open, and the balcony was too, the light was very good, and he could see it clearly.

It was as she imagined, or rather as she had imagined.

To the left of the door is the living room, with long wooden chairs, short wooden chairs on both sides, similar to modern wooden sofas, and a wooden coffee table in the middle.

There is a wide passage in the open space in front, and then there is a long low wooden cabinet against the wall, and the cabinet and counter below can be used to store things.

To the right of the entrance is the dining table, with a wooden round table in the middle, and five or six wooden chairs.

The layout of the whole hall is actually a bit like a modern commercial house, but the area is a little smaller.

Lin Jinping really settled the discussions between them little by little, and they were not bad at all, even better than they imagined.

Zhou Yunmeng was very satisfied, and bent down to change his shoes first.

She is wearing the same pair of leather shoes that she bought with Lin Jinping before, the flat soles are comfortable to wear, and it is suitable if she goes out for a long time in the future.

Lin Jinping first put the sack in the open space next to the wooden cabinet in the hall, and put the two packages on the wooden cabinet, and he also realized the benefits of Xiaomeng's proposal to place it like this.

He said: "Xiaomeng, you are tired from taking the car, why don't you go to the meeting first?" I'll go downstairs to return the car later, and I'll go to the canteen to get dinner and come back to eat. ”

"I'll come back later to pack the things I brought."

Zhou Yunmeng nodded: "Okay, I'll take a shower and change my clothes before going to lie down." ”

"By the way, there are two lunch boxes in the package, containing leek boxes and green onion noodles made by my mother, there are a lot of them, and they can also be heated and eaten at night."

"Just heat up your portion, I don't want to eat it again after I ate it at noon, so let's eat it for breakfast tomorrow morning."

Lin Jinping should be fine. He first went to the kitchen and set up two pots to boil hot water at the same time.

Then he came out and took the package of clothes, and led Xiaomeng into the house.

As soon as Zhou Yunmeng entered the house, he felt like he had returned to the third room of the Lin family, where he had lived for a long time, and the bed, wooden cabinet, and desk were all placed in the same position.

And there's ...... Dressing table!

She looked at Lin Jinping in surprise.

Lin Jinping said: "Xiaomeng, you wrote to say that the eldest brother and they gave you a dresser, looking in the mirror to comb your hair and wipe your face, which are very convenient and very comfortable to use." I found someone to make a dresser, which was just delivered yesterday afternoon. ”

He also felt that he had been negligent before, and he hadn't noticed Xiaomeng's need for a dresser. The eldest brother thought of this layer and deliberately set up a dresser.

Lin Jinping thought that if he had it at home, he would have to have it at home here, otherwise Xiaomeng would be uncomfortable living here.

According to the appearance of the dresser mentioned by Xiaomeng in the letter, he quickly found a brother he knew in the wooden factory to make one, and it happened that there was also a mirror.

Even the placement is right between the edge of the bed and the desk.

This man is really ......

She wrote to him just to share the dresser with him, and sure enough, the people who care about you don't need to say anything, they will think about it for you.

Zhou Yunmeng smiled and bent his eyes: "Jinping is so thoughtful, so that I can do it in the mirror when I comb my hair and wipe my face here." ”

Lin Jinping was also happy to see that she liked it, and only said: "It's all as it should be." ”

The bed was made of navy blue sheets, two pillows were placed side by side, and a thin quilt was folded into tofu blocks and placed neatly on the inside of the bed.

Zhou Yunmeng put the package on the desk, opened it and casually took out the bottles and cans on the top and put them on the dresser, and took a change of clothes from it out, and collected the rest later.

Lin Jinping also went to the wardrobe and took a yellow towel for her: "Xiaomeng, you sit down, the water in the kitchen should be almost boiled, I'll take the wooden bucket to the toilet." ”

Zhou Yunmeng took it, and it was soft cotton cloth, which was better than the texture of the Lin family.

She put the towel and the outfit together, and anyway, there was still time, so she simply took out all the clothes in the package and put them in the closet.

Open the wardrobe, the top cabinet is placed with a thick quilt in winter, the bottom two layers are Lin Jinping's clothes, pants, sweaters, military coats, and the three layers in the middle are empty, which are reserved for her.

Zhou Yunmeng put the autumn coat, short-sleeved thin pants, pajamas and pajamas in the package, and a sweater in the middle layer, which only accounted for about half of the layer.

When she came over this time, she brought two clothes for all kinds of weather, and she didn't bring the padded jacket that occupied the most space in winter, and no matter how cold it was, she couldn't wear a padded jacket.

When it was done, she took the clothes and towel out of the room to the bathroom.

The toilet is not big, but it should be there.

Clean squatting toilets, washbasins, faucets, toothbrushes, mouthwashes, cups, and a gray towel hanging on a wooden shelf hanging on the wall next to it.

Zhou Yunmeng's most satisfied house is that it has a separate toilet and kitchen.

Like Xu Xiaoying's small house in the factory, she can only use the public toilet on the same floor. The coal stove is also placed in the aisle, and everyone on the same floor knows what to cook for each meal.

In fact, most of the buildings allocated in this year are like this, and the public toilet is the most common, because the space in the house is small, so small that there is no kitchen, so naturally it is to gather together in the corridor to cook rice and stir-fry.

Just like Lin Jinping considered before, if he is promoted to the head of the regiment and then apply for the allocation of a house, the house that can be assigned is more spacious, and naturally there is a kitchen and toilet.
