The Pretty Military Wife

It’s a rare occasion that Zhou Guoliang doesn’t have to go to the group.

In the days without Liang Xinyue, Zhou Guoliang had no days off. In the past ten years of life in the army, he did not have a single day off.

Now that he has a wife, he wants to rest and he begins to miss the taste of home.

After listening to Liang Xinyue's idea, he felt that it was possible. Anyway, the room was empty except for some firewood.

By the way, I think about the need for firewood. It’s almost early winter, so I still need to store some firewood.

"Xinyue, I'll go to the regiment first and ask who knows how to make a kang. Then I'll go get some firewood and bring it back to dry in the sun. Otherwise, it will be hard to get firewood in the winter when it snows."

Yes, both my previous life and my predecessor lived in a place without snow in winter, so there was no problem of not being able to collect firewood.

But here there will be snow in winter.

Liang Xinyue nodded, just looked at Zhou Guoliang's legs and said:

"Your injury hasn't healed yet?"

Zhou Guoliang said indifferently:

"It doesn't hurt at all. As long as it's not inflamed, it's fine. It just needs to heal. I went to the regiment's health station this morning to get it re-bandaged."

As he spoke, Zhou Guoliang lifted up his trouser legs to show Liang Xinyue.

"I'm just going to get some firewood, no problem."

Liang Xinyue could see that it was wrapped in gauze this time. There was no bleeding. It seemed that there was no problem.

Zhou Guoliang went out, found an axe, and took a rope. Just as he was about to leave, Liang Xinyue called him from the window:

"Wait a moment."

Zhou Guoliang returned to the window:

"what's wrong?"

"When will Deputy Battalion Commander Chen come back from his studies? Sister Fu is at home with two children. Do you want her to help with firewood collection? You should ask her."

Zhou Guoliang nodded and said:

"Got it. Don't worry."

Zhou Guoliang did not wear his military uniform to collect firewood, but changed into an old set of clothes he brought from home.

Liang Xinyue was sitting by the window knitting a sweater. After a while, Zhou Guoliang came back with four bundles of firewood, threw the firewood in the yard, and went out again, dragging back a few dead trees, all of which were quite large.

Xiao Wei just happened to run over with something in his hands.

"Captain, are you collecting firewood yourself?"

Zhou Guoliang rolled his eyes at him:

"Why would I ask you to do it if I don't do it myself?"

Xiao Wei laughed and said:

"Yes, you called me."

As he spoke, he quickly greeted Liang Xinyue who was looking out the window:

"Sister, this is for you. The quartermaster was cutting leeks today and cut a few extra ones. He asked me to bring you a handful. You can stir-fry them."

Liang Xinyue's eyes lit up. Leeks are good things. The main thing is that they can be cut and grow again.

Liang Xinyue waved to Xiao Wei at the window and whispered:

"Where did your quartermaster get his hair cut?"

Xiao Wei said casually:

"It's behind the cafeteria. There's an open space. The quartermaster grows some leeks, pumpkins, and winter melons there when he has nothing to do."

Liang Xinyue's eyes lit up and said:

"Well, ask the quartermaster to dig a few plants for me. Don't use too many. We can't eat them all, and they grow very fast."

Xiao Wei laughed and said:

"no problem."

"Jinbao, what are you talking about? Come here."

Zhou Guoliang moved the last dead tree into the yard.

They called Xiao Wei over, and the two of them carried two pieces of wood and two bundles of firewood to Deputy Battalion Commander Chen's yard.

Fu Chunhua was braiding her daughter's hair in the yard. Xiao Wei took the lead and pushed open the gate:

"Sister-in-law Fu."

Fu Chunhua looked at Xiao Wei and Captain Zhou in surprise as they carried in the wood.

Zhou Guoliang also put two bundles of firewood in the yard. He untied the rope and said:

"Old Chen is not here, and the weather is getting colder day by day. You need to prepare the firewood. I'm taking a break today, so I'll go get some firewood. Xinyue from my family said you don't have any firewood here either. Sister Fu, I didn't think it through, so you can use these first."

Fu Chunhua was so moved that she said repeatedly:

"That's enough! Thank you, Captain. Thank you, Captain."

Chen Rudong, who was in the house, also ran out:

"Hello, Brother Wei, hello, Uncle Captain."

"Yeah, well, what are you doing?"

"Writing. My dad taught me a few words, and my mom made me write every day."

Zhou Guoliang paused and said, yes, the child is almost seven years old, and it is time for him to go to school. However, the nearest school is a village primary school in Xinshui Village outside, but it seems that it has not been opened due to the general environment.

No, this issue needs to be discussed with the political commissar.

Zhou Guoliang patted Dongdong's head and said:

"Good boy."

Zhou Guoliang said:

"Sister Fu, this wood may need a saw to be cut. If that doesn't work, let Xiao Wei help you."

Fu Chunhua said hurriedly:

"I can do it, I can do it, no need to trouble Xiao Wei, I'm from the countryside, I can do anything. I'm really causing trouble for the army."

Chen Xiangqian's consistent request was that his family members should not cause trouble to the army.

Fu Chunhua paid great attention to these things. If she had any difficulties, she would just endure them and not speak out.

Now that Lao Chen is not at home, it is not a problem to collect firewood by myself, but I didn't expect Xinyue to ask the leader to collect firewood for her family. Thank you so much.

Zhou Guoliang and Xiao Wei came out and returned to their yard, and asked Xiao Wei to find a saw.

Small firewood can be dried and put away, but this kind of dead wood still needs to be sawed off. Now that I have time, I might as well do it myself.

Xiao Wei went to the group to get a saw. Zhou Guoliang took a stool, put the wood on it, stepped on the wood, and started to compete in sawing the wood into pieces:

"Xiao Wei, do you know who in our group can make a bed?"

"Old Liang!"

Xiao Wei knew much more about these gossips than Zhou Guoliang.

Although this unit was newly established, there were two other regimental commanders before Zhou Guoliang, so some of the veterans here stayed here from the past.

Zhou Guoliang had only been in charge for a year, so he still didn't know much about some of the veterans.

"Which Lao Liang?"

"It's the third squad leader of the first company of the second battalion. The one with the same beard as Lao Xiao. He's from the Northeast. He said that he made the kang in his house himself."

"Well, then go and see him today after dinner, and come over to my place. Your sister said she wants to make a bed in the firewood room. It's cold here in the winter, and your sister can't stand it."

Xiao Wei let out a cry.

"Okay, I'll go find him right away."

Xiao Wei ran back to the group.

Zhou Guoliang started sawing wood in the yard, while Liang Xinyue was knitting a sweater, and from time to time she looked up at Zhou Guoliang who was working.

This man is so good to watch when he works!

He took off his coat, revealing a worn shirt underneath. He rolled up his sleeves, and his hands and feet were full of power as he worked.

Zhou Guoliang seemed to feel Liang Xinyue's gaze and looked over. Their eyes met and they smiled knowingly.

Seeing the sweat on Zhou Guoliang's face, Liang Xinyue put down the wool and stood up.

When Zhou Guoliang saw Liang Xinyue move, he thought of her inconvenience in moving, so he ran into the house and asked:

"what are you up to?"
