Chapter 307 New Home

The small courtyard is neatly organized. The ground of the courtyard is flat and neat. There is a stone road in the middle that leads directly from the gate to the door of the house. It has inadvertently improved the small courtyard several times. With a stack of firewood, there are chopped logs, dry branches, and two bags of coal, which should have been prepared by Huo Jianfeng in advance.

Just looking at it, Huo Jianfeng came over, How is it, are you satisfied?

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

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

pretty good.

Han Mingxiu said something cogent.

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

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

The family area of ​​the military region has been electrified. After entering the house, Huo Jianfeng pulled the light cord, and the light came on all of a sudden. The 15-watt light bulb illuminated the house brightly, much brighter than the candles she usually lit.

This is a two-room small ridged house. A small corridor in the middle divides the house into two parts. The large house on the east side is their bedroom. There is a large kang in it. There are kang tables and kang cabinets on the kang. There was an iron stove for heating. On the stove was the big spoon that Han Mingxiu gave her the last time she came here. In the future, they could still cook and stir-fry on the stove.

In addition, there are two boxes next to the east wall. It seems that they should have been added after Huo Jianfeng, not from the military region, because the box is also painted with flower and bird paintings, which is not like the style of the military region.

The Westinghouse is very small, only two-thirds of the length of the Easthouse, and the remaining one-third is locked out as a kitchen. The Westinghouse was very empty, so there was only a half-meter-high wooden tub, and there was also a desk and a chair, which were used as a study room.

However, you have to wait for summer to be a study room. This season is not enough. There is no stove or kang in this room. It is cold like an ice cellar. freeze to death.

Right now, as far as the temperature of this room is concerned, 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. In addition, there is a cupboard and a water tank. These few things almost take up the entire space of the kitchen. It takes a lot of effort to put another sauerkraut in it.

However, Han Mingxiu was still very satisfied. She said, It's really good. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

In fact, she wanted to tell Huo Jianfeng: This little home is very nice and warm, and she likes it very much.

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

Seeing that his wife was satisfied, Huo Jianfeng was naturally very happy. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a roar from outside:

Fengzi, you're back! It was Zhang He's voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang He rushed in carelessly, followed by his new daughter-in-law, Sun Yingmei.

Seeing that Han Mingxiu was very affectionate, Sun Yingmei stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and said happily, Xiu'er, it's great that you are here so soon. Our family lives in the west courtyard of your house. We are neighbors.

Han Mingxiu said in surprise: So coincidental?

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

Zhang He added: When you have nothing to do, it's better to go to your house for a meal or something...

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

Yes, yes, work, and I'll help you dump things. Zhang He pouted at Han Mingxiu and waved, and went out with Huo Jianfeng and Lin Hongwei to dump things.

Han Mingxiu looked at Sun Yingmei. She didn't see her for a few days. She seemed to look better than before, and she had more smiles on her face. Han Mingxiu jokingly said, Yo, bride, I haven't seen you for a few days. She looks beautiful.

Sun Yingmei said shyly: And I said, why are you not a bride? You are newer than me.

Han Mingxiu also laughed, touched her with his elbow, and said in a low voice, Hey, how are you? Is the wedding happy? Is Zhang He good to you?

Sun Yingmei pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded lightly: He treats me so well...

That's good, it seems that I didn't mess with the mandarin ducks. You two and He Meimei, I, the matchmaker, can rest assured.

Sun Yingmei said: You didn't mess around with mandarin ducks, you did a great thing, Xiuer, you don't even know how grateful I am to you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to know him, and neither of us could get together. Get up, thanks to you...

When Han Mingxiu saw that she was going to be provocative, she hurriedly stopped her and said indifferently, Okay, if you are grateful, please help me with some work. I want to make a bill, and you can help me with some firewood.

Zhong, I'll carry it for you right now. Sun Yingmei agreed, and went to the yard to hold the firewood.

Han Mingxiu found out the noodles and a few eggs that the eldest sister had prepared for her, prepared to make noodles in a hot soup, and beat a few poached eggs.

However, when she lifted the lid of the water tank and was about to scoop water to wash the pot, she found that the water in the water tank was frozen, so frozen that the water in the water tank turned into a big lump of ice, which could not be scooped out at all. .

Han Mingxiu was worried when Sun Yingmei walked in with a bundle of branches. Seeing that the water in their water tank was frozen into a lump of ice, he said, Why don't you come to my house to cook, you burn the house tonight, and the water in the tank will almost melt by tomorrow morning.

No way, Han Mingxiu had to accept her proposal and went to Sun Yingmei's house to cook with noodles and a few eggs.

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

However, although there is nothing, it is very popular inside. As soon as I enter the house, I feel a heat wave blowing towards my face, warm and with a warm smell.

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

Xiu'er, I heard that many military wives in this family area are working in the army cafeteria. I want to go too. Do you think they can want me? This news was also heard by others when Sun Yingmei first came. After hearing about it, I have been eager to move, but I haven't told Zhang He yet.

I heard that working in the cafeteria earns eight yuan a month. She wants to earn eight yuan so that she can pay for the famine at home.

Before, Zhang He borrowed a lot of famine from outside in order to collect the 300 yuan betrothal gift money for her. She didn't want Zhang He to bear the famine of so much money alone, and also felt bad that he was too hard to earn money alone, so she wanted to find some work to help Zhang He share the burden.

Han Mingxiu didn't know the specific situation here, but Yingmei was able to take the responsibility of the family proactively, which Han Mingxiu admired very much. Han Mingxiu agreed: If you want to do it, it's better to let Zhang He inquire about it for you. If it suits you, it's not bad to do it. Anyway, staying at home is also a fool. Take advantage of the fact that you don't have children now. Make some money with your feet, and spend it more generously in the future.”

Well, that's what I thought 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 suggested.

Han Mingxiu shook his head: I don't have this idea yet, I'll talk about it after a while.

This is just her excuse. In fact, Han Mingxiu didn't even think about going to the cafeteria to find a job at all. She has a lot of gold and silver in her space. Just taking out one piece is enough to buy a house and land. How about going to the cafeteria to earn that eight dollars a month?

Besides, Chen Qiulan, who was in charge of the cafeteria, was a little bit unreasonable with her. If she went, Chen Qiulan would definitely have to give her small shoes, so that she wouldn't go to the chase to seek abuse.

Sun Yingmei was a little disappointed when she heard that she would not go. She originally wanted to go with Xiu'er, and the two of them had a company together.

Well, I'll tell Zhang He about this tonight. If it works, 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 his burden as soon as possible...

The three men outside quickly finished dumping their things, and as soon as they finished dumping, they went over to eat. However, Zhang He didn't come back and was detained by Huo Jianfeng at their house to burn a kang and stove for the two of them.

Huo Jianfeng also didn't see Zhang He outside, 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 room would be warm, so that she would not freeze...

Zhang He also has no objection to this arrangement. After so many years, he and Huo Jianfeng are as strong as brothers. He is very happy to be able to help his good brother to make some contributions and do some work!

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 organize their things.

In the room, only Han Mingxiu, Huo Jianfeng and Lin Hongwei were left. During the meal, Lin Hongwei took the initiative to say, Do you have a hostel here? It's not far from here? I'll go to the hostel to live in a while.

He has seen it all. Huo Jianfeng's house has only one kang. If he wants to live here tonight, he will only squeeze a kang with the young couple. He is embarrassed, so he should live in a guest house.

Huo Jianfeng didn't refuse, and said, It's not far from here, it's just over two miles away. I'll take you there after dinner.

At this moment, Huo Jianfeng was a little fortunate that there was only one bed in the west house with a kang at home. Otherwise, Lian Qiaoqing will be waiting to live in their house tonight. If he lives in their house, won't he and his wife's wedding night have to be postponed again?

It took him three or four days to endure, and he finally sent his daughter-in-law's aunt away. If he kept holding it back, his kidneys would suffer.
