The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 31 An Unpleasant Neighbor

The front yard is not very big, but the back yard is quite big. In addition to the toilet, there is also a piece of land full of weeds.

There is a one-meter-high wall between the courtyards.

But it doesn't hurt to take a look around to see what's in other people's yards.

While sweeping the backyard, Liang Xinyue took a look and saw that the yard on the left should be occupied by someone, because there was no weeds growing in the backyard.

They also grow some vegetables in the field in their yard.

You can tell at a glance that the crops are not planted well. The vegetables look like they are dying.

The yard on the right was just like my yard, also deserted. The one further away seemed to be taken care of by someone, with no weeds.

I swept the back yard and then the front yard and after cleaning up the dust, it looked brighter.

She went back to the room, opened her bag, and took out her and Zhou Guoliang's clothes.

All the clean ones have to be folded and placed on the bed, and the wardrobe has to be wiped before it can be used.

The clothes I took off before leaving have a smell. I need to wash them.

Just as I put the clothes in the bucket, I heard the door open:

"Xinyue, are you up?"

I heard Zhou Guoliang calling softly.

Liang Xinyue quickly responded and walked out.

Seeing Liang Xinyue carrying a bucket, Zhou Guoliang hurried forward and said:

"I told you not to move. Come, I made you some breakfast. Eat first. Do you need to wash these clothes? I'll take care of them later."

Liang Xinyue hurriedly took the lunch box he handed over with both hands, and there was also a plate filled with steamed buns.

There are some pickles under the steamed bun.

The porridge was a little hot, so Liang Xinyue hurriedly put it on a chair in the main room.

Zhou Guoliang said with some annoyance:

"Ah, I forgot to remind you that it's a little hot. You eat first, I...ah, I forgot to get you chopsticks again, didn't I?"

Liang Xinyue also laughed.

Zhou Guoliang smiled and said:

"We went out to eat after exercise, and I wanted to call you back first, but I forgot to get the chopsticks. Wait a minute, I'll get them for you."

Zhou Guoliang walked out as he spoke. When he came out, he saw a person on the left side of the wall looking around:

"Yeah, I heard some noise from your side last night. Captain Zhou, you guys are back. Is our Lao Xiao back?"

"He's back, he's all back. He's in the regiment now, leading new recruits. I'll have him come home soon."

Zhou Guoliang said hurriedly. He turned back and shouted:

"Xinyue, come here."

Xinyue came out, and Zhou Guoliang pointed at the woman who was lying on the wall and looking over and said:

"This is Lao Xiao's lover, Comrade Lin Xiaoju. She will be our neighbor from now on."

"Mrs. Lin, this is my wife, Liang Xinyue. We both arrived last night."

Zhou Guoliang introduced.

"Hey, when did Captain Zhou get married? We didn't even get to eat the wedding candy."

Liang Xinyue didn't like Lin Xiaoju from the first moment she saw her.

He has short hair that reaches his ears, a thin and sharp face, and a pair of eyes that show that he is not a very peaceful person.

I don't know why, but I felt a hint of hostility in her eyes.

And after Zhou Guoliang introduced them, she kept looking Liang Xinyue up and down. Then she curled her lips, as if to say that it was nothing special.

Liang Xinyue saw the contempt in her eyes.

But since I was new here, I still said hello:

"Hello, Sister Lin, I'm Liang Xinyue."

Lin Xiaoju ignored Liang Xinyue's greeting, and said to Zhou Guoliang with a silly smile:

"How come Captain Zhou picked such a thin wife? Is she from the country?"

Liang Xinyue glanced at her calmly. Zhou Guoliang also put away his smile:

"Of course I am from the country. Am I not from the country too? I am not like Mrs. Lin, who grew up in the city."

Lin Xiaoju didn't seem to notice the displeasure in Zhou Guoliang's tone. She looked at Liang Xinyue again and said:

"It's hard to have a baby with a small butt."

Liang Xinyue immediately felt violated and her face darkened.

Lin Xiaoju seemed to be unaware that what she said was inappropriate, and even pretended to smile and said:

"I'm just kidding."

Zhou Guoliang's face looked unhappy. He turned around and said to Liang Xinyue:

"You go in first, I'll get it for you."

Seeing Zhou Guoliang was about to leave again, Liang Xinyue turned back to the house, and Lin Xiaoju shouted again:

"Captain Zhou, please give our Lao Xiao a message. He has been gone for so many days and didn't come home to visit. My children and I miss him so much."

Liang Xinyue looked back at the woman as if she had seen something weird, and made a decision to have less dealings with her and not to make close friends with her.

After a while, Zhou Guoliang came back with chopsticks and a spoon:

"You eat first, and I'll return these to the canteen later. We don't have anything at home, so we need to buy some. I'll drive you to the county town this afternoon, and you can see what we need to buy for our family."

Liang Xinyue smiled bitterly and said:

"Everything. There's nothing in the kitchen."

Zhou Guoliang went into the kitchen and took a look, then came out and said:

"That's not right. Every house has a pot. How could there be none?"

Liang Xinyue was stunned for a moment. They were all prepared? How could there be nothing?

"Also, where is the water? I want to clean the closet. It's dusty everywhere. It's hard to put clothes."

Zhou Guoliang said with an "oh":

"There's a well outside the door. I'll get you some water. Your foot is still not well, so don't push too hard."

Zhou Guoliang took two buckets out and came back with two buckets of water after a while.

"I'll go to the company and make some arrangements. Put the food aside first. There's no rush to wash the clothes. I'll ask Xiao Wei to come get you a piece of soap later."

Only then did Zhou Guoliang realize that there was nothing he wanted here. It seemed that he would have to buy some things later.

Zhou Guoliang left. Liang Xinyue was having dinner when she heard the shrill cry of a child next door, followed by Lin Xiaoju's scolding:

"You dead girl, look, look, you wet the bed last night, and now you wet your pants, won't you scream?"

Then I heard some slapping sounds and a baby crying.

You beat the child so early in the morning?

Just after finishing the meal, Xiao Wei came over and saw Liang Xinyue getting up to wash the dishes:

"Sister, let me do it."

There was no way Liang Xinyue would let him wash the dishes for her, so she quickly refused:

"You go do your thing, I'll do it."

He took some water from the bucket and washed the dishes. Xiao Wei did not grab it again, but went into the kitchen to take a look and then came out and said:

"No, I came to clean this room once when the captain was assigned to it. There were pots and bowls everywhere. Sister, wait a moment, I'll go find someone from the logistics department."

Before he went out, he heard a voice calling out:

"Xiao Wei."

"Ah, Minister Wang, you've come just in time. Come and take a look. All the food in the kitchen in the commander's yard is gone."

Xiao Wei welcomed in a middle-aged man who was wearing a military uniform. He was a little fat and looked very kind with a smile on his face.

He laughed with a somewhat resonant voice:

"How can there be none? Every family has these pots and bowls."

"Hey, Minister Wang, I took the pot from Captain Zhou's room."
