Chapter 319: To the Army 2
The windows and doors of the master bedroom are not so easy to close, they will have to be repaired later.
Although Jiang Ziqiang had cleaned the house, the windows were not closed and there was a layer of dust on the furniture. Shen Shuyu found a rag and started wiping the furniture.
"Wife, don't do it. Just sit there for a while and let me clean it later."
"Yes, sister-in-law, you just take a rest and let Jiandong do it."
"I'm just wiping the tables and chairs. It's not tiring. You guys go about your business." She would feel even more uncomfortable if she was asked to sit and do nothing. After sitting on the train for so long, she must move around.
After wiping the furniture, Shen Shuyu opened the package and put the pots, pans, and other things in the kitchen.
There was a coal stove and coal in the kitchen. Shen Shuyu was a little hungry and planned to make noodles.
They sent the food over in advance, including sweet potatoes, potatoes, cornmeal, and white flour. There was no need to buy oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar separately. Her grandmother packed everything in.
If she hadn't stopped her, her grandmother would have wanted to send firewood over, for fear that her eldest granddaughter would have no firewood to cook.
Shen Shuyu scooped out a spoonful of white flour and began to knead the dough. Gu Jiandong walked in and said, "Wife, I'll cook. You go out and wait for the meal."
Shen Shuyu pushed him out, "You can paste your paper, and then fix the windows and doors. There is some grass outside the yard, and you need to remove it."
The noodles were quickly cooked and smelled delicious. Shen Shuyu served three bowls and said, "Don't bother. Come and eat the noodles first."
Jiang Ziqiang knew how favored Shen Shuyu was at home, but he didn't expect that she could make noodles.
He was hungry and didn't hesitate to take a bite. He nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, this noodle is well made. It's very chewy and tastes good."
Although it was just a bowl of clear soup noodles, Jiang Ziqiang thought it was particularly delicious.
How could this not be delicious? Shen Shuyu dropped a drop of spiritual spring water, but fearing that something was wrong would be discovered, Shen Shuyu didn't dare to drop more.
Probably when Gu Jiandong was stupid, Shen Shuyu often dripped spiritual spring water for him to drink. He was very sensitive to the taste of spiritual spring water. He felt something was wrong after taking a bite of noodles, and looked at his wife with some ambiguous eyes.
After eating, the two grown men started working again.
Shen Shuyu took out everything in the package and put them in place one by one. After everything was put in place, she went into the room to make the bed.
After busying myself here and there, it was getting dark.
Gu Jiandong went to the cafeteria to get a meal and came back. After Jiang Ziqiang was full, he went back to the dormitory.
Shen Shuyu thought the food in the cafeteria was just average, so she ate half a bowl of rice and stopped eating, leaving the rest for Gu Jiandong to eat.
Shen Shuyu hadn't taken a bath for several days. She boiled a pot of water. There was no bathroom here, so Gu Jiandong filled her with water and asked her to take a bath in the room.
"I'll find someone to build a bathroom tomorrow."
After they washed up, Gu Jiandong hugged his wife and said, "Wife, I still have three days of vacation. Let's go out the day after tomorrow and buy some things."
"Okay." She had just arrived here and was unfamiliar with the place, so she really needed to go out for a walk.
Shen Shuyu slept a lot on the train, but she didn't sleep well. Now lying in Gu Jiandong's arms, Shen Shuyu fell asleep in a short while.
Shen Shuyu slept until dawn and woke up only when she heard some noise outside. She looked at her watch and it was already past nine o'clock.
White Radish was lying at the door. When he saw her get up, he wagged his tail, grinned, and circled around Shen Shuyu's feet.
Gu Jiandong and several of his comrades were building a bathroom in the yard. He always had a strong ability to execute and never procrastinated on things he had to do. He got up early and found his comrades, and together they brought back bricks to build the bathroom.
With several people busying around, the bathroom is almost ready.
Gu Jiandong patted the dust off his hands and strode over. "Wife, wake up. I made steamed buns. They are in the pot. You can eat them first. I will cook later."
Shen Shuyu raised her hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, "Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Except for Jiang Ziqiang, none of Gu Jiandong's comrades had seen Shen Shuyu. "That must be the deputy regiment commander's wife. She's really pretty. No wonder she was able to capture our deputy regiment commander."
"Look at our deputy commander. He looks at my sister-in-law like an idiot."
"Shh, keep your voice down, or the deputy captain will come and kick you."
Gu Jiandong heard their voices and brought Shen Shuyu over to introduce them, "This is my wife, Shen Shuyu. Wife, these are my comrades."
Gu Jiandong introduced them to her one by one. Shen Shuyu had a proper smile on her face. "Thank you for coming here so early in the morning. You can all eat at home later. I will fry some bacon for you."
Everyone scratched their heads, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to cook. We'll go to the cafeteria to eat later."
When people come to my house to help with work, there is no reason to ask them to eat in the cafeteria. There are already grains and vegetables. Shen Shuyu turned and went into the kitchen.
When they entered the family compound yesterday, it was dinner time. Everyone was busy cooking at home and no one knew he had brought a wife back.
Now their courtyard door was open, and there were still quite a few people in the courtyard, so the sisters-in-law and aunts passing by couldn't help but take a look in.
They all knew that the house was allocated to Deputy Captain Gu, and a few aunts even came in to greet him, "Hey, Deputy Captain Gu is back, what are you doing?"
Gu Jiandong was always quiet in the army. He didn’t live in the family compound before, and basically never talked to these sisters-in-law and aunts. “Build a shower room.”
"Is that so?" The sister-in-law looked into the house again, "Oh, there is a dog at home. This dog is so handsome, with black fur."
When someone praised it, White Radish felt embarrassed. It covered its face with its paws and nodded at the aunt.
Shen Shuyu thought someone was coming and poked her head out of the kitchen. They had heard from their husbands that Deputy Commander Gu had gone home to get married. When they saw Shen Shuyu in the kitchen,
The sisters-in-law all spoke up, "This must be Deputy Captain Gu's wife, she's so pretty."
Shen Shuyu smiled politely, "Hello, my name is Shen Shuyu."
She didn't know these people, so she looked at Gu Jiandong. Gu Jiandong came over and was about to introduce them to his wife, but the three sisters-in-law spoke up.
"My name is Wang Chunmiao. I live next door to you. I'm older than you. You can just call me Sister Wang."
"My name is Chen Dani, and I live next door to Sister Wang. You can call me Sister Chen."
"My house is at the front. Just go straight and turn a corner and you'll be there. Come visit my sister-in-law Zhang when you have time."
"Hello, Sister Wang, Sister Chen, Sister Zhang, please come in and sit for a while."
"Ouch, is that too intrusive?"
Seeing that they had already stepped forward, Shen Shuyu's mouth twitched, "Don't disturb us, don't disturb us. We just arrived last night and the house is not cleaned up yet. Sisters-in-law, please don't be disgusted."
"Oh, the house is clean and tidy. This is not tidy. Our house is really messy."
Sister Chen joked, "If you want to come over to our house, you have to let us know in advance. We have to clean up the house, otherwise we will be embarrassed to let you in."
