The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 82 Preparing to build a bed

After learning to walk, you walk faster, better and more steadily every day.

Yaya has a good learning ability. After a few days, she can get up and dress herself. Although her movements are a little slow, she can do it by herself.

I can even help my brother button his shirt.

Liang Xinyue was thinking that their family's situation was different, so she tried her best to let her children learn to do things by themselves. At the very least, Yaya had to learn to take care of herself.

However, Liang Xinyue was becoming more and more worried. It had been almost a month, and there was still no news from Zhou Guoliang and the others.

I can’t ask yet.

After learning how to make cotton-padded clothes, he followed Fu Chunhua to learn how to make cotton-padded shoes.

However, Fu Chunhua whispered to Liang Xinyue:

"What I wear in winter are the cotton shoes that Lao Chen brought back. They give me a pair every year. They are very warm."

Liang Xinyue looked at Fu Chunhua's feet. She was not very tall and had chubby feet.

Fu Chunhua smiled and said:

"Our old man Chen has to wear size 43, but I can't wear that, so I can wear size 36. So, every other year, Old Chen gets a size 43, and the next year he gets the smallest size 38. Then I can put on an extra pad and wear it."

Liang Xinyue's eyes lit up. That was a solution. To be honest, a pair of cotton shoes would last forever. The army was very considerate of the soldiers and gave them all pairs of shoes.

I just don’t know what size Zhou Guoliang’s is. Maybe I can ask him when he comes back.

Liang Xinyue still planned to make two pairs of shoes for Yaya. Yaya had no shoes, whether for winter or summer.

I've been learning to walk recently, and all the things I've worn can no longer fit me, so I saved some shoes for Lanlan, but generally speaking, they don't fit because Yaya is so thin.

Fu Chunhua now stays with Liang Xinyue every day during the day, and the two of them go in and out together whenever they do anything.

Sometimes Huang Ying would bring her children to join in the fun, but after knowing that they were digging the ground, Huang Ying did not join in.

Later, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Liang Xinyue learned the truth: Huang Ying was pregnant.

The weather was even colder. Sometimes it was foggy in the morning, so they stayed indoors with their children.

Liang Xinyue originally wanted to wait for Zhou Guoliang to come back before making the bed, but now it was getting colder and colder, so she went to find Xiao Wei.

The next day, Xiao Wei brought over the squad leader Lao Liang, who knew how to make the kang.

Lao Liang came to see the house, thought about it and said:

"Sister-in-law, let me give you a suggestion. I think this little room is too small for you to stay in. If you lie down on the kang, there will be no space left."

Lao Liang walked into the house, took a look, pointed at the room where Yaya lived and said:

"This room can be built. It's big. Even if half of it is used as a kang, the other half is empty and can be used to store things. Also, this room is connected to the small room over here. We can build a stove here and use the kitchen over there as a storage room."

Liang Xinyue was stunned. In this case, the workload would be huge.

This means we have to rebuild a stove and dismantle the stove here.

And you also need to prepare sand and stone materials.

Liang Xinyue asked about it, and Xiao Wei said that this was not a problem. There were still a lot of stones and bricks left over from the construction of the house, which were piled up on a piece of open space outside the family compound wall and could be used.

When Liang Xinyue asked Lao Liang if he would be free, Xiao Wei smiled and said:

"The political commissar said that if you are sure you want to do it, let Lao Liang do it. He only participates in the morning exercises every day. He comes to do it every afternoon."

Liang Xinyue's eyes lit up. That was good. It would be warmer if she did it quickly.

Liang Xinyue immediately decided to do it, and then asked Lao Liang to take her to see the bricks and stones there:

"Lao Liang, take a look at these. Which ones are useful and can be moved? I will move them back in advance and wait for you to come so that we can start the work."

Lao Liang looked at it and smiled:

"Sister Shitou, you can't move it. I'll come later. This kind of blue brick can be used."

After thinking about it in silence for a while, he said:

"I'm afraid it will take hundreds of pieces. I'll move a few more stones later."

"Do you want to use that pile of sand? And do you want cement? I'm afraid you should buy some cement?"

Finally, the task of buying cement was given to Xiao Wei, because it was his turn to drive into the city.

Moreover, buying cement requires a permit, and this requires going to Political Commissar Xu.

Originally Liang Xinyue was afraid that Political Commissar Xu would not agree, but unexpectedly, Political Commissar Xu called a meeting with several family members, and after confirming that everyone was willing to build a kang, he simply handed the matter over to Lao Liang.

Political Commissar Xu contacted the county’s armed forces department to negotiate and request support for the cement.

In fact, most of the military wives who come here are from the south. Although they come from different places in the south, the cold here is not found in the south.

But when it comes to things like making a kang, some of them don't even know what it is used for.

For example, Tian Mingying once asked, is the kang used to store things?

After Liang Xinyue carefully explained the function of the kang, they were very surprised.

They also knew that Liang Xinyue was from the South, so why did she only know about kang?

Liang Xinyue said that several educated youth from Northeast China came to their team.

Since everyone wants to take over, then let’s all go and move bricks.

There are currently six families living here, but Lin Xiaoju is no longer here, so let's make it five.

Tian Mingying's child was only one year old and needed to be carried on someone's back or in someone's arms, so no one forced her to move.

No one forces anything; revolution depends on self-awareness.

Liang Xinyue asked Dongdong to take the children out to play, still using the old method. Dongdong was the older brother of the compound and was responsible for taking care of the safety of all the children.

Yaya is the older sister of all the children in the team, and she is responsible for making sure no one can run out of the yard.

Dongdong and Yaya both had the ability to take care of children, so they had two more children, Xu Dayong, three years old, and Wang Zhi, four years old.

Liang Xinyue and Fu Chunhua are the main forces of the brick-moving team.

At first they couldn't think of a good solution, so they really moved it by hand.

But it really hurt, because it was cold and my hands were frozen, and the bricks were very rough, and it really hurt to rub against my frozen hands.

Moreover, only a few bricks could be moved at a time because the blue bricks were relatively large. Liang Xinyue started by moving three bricks at a time, but after going back and forth several times, she could not move them anymore and only moved two bricks.

This kind of work efficiency is too low.

At noon, Xiao Wei came over and saw them moving the things by hand, and hurriedly asked them to stop:

"My dear sisters-in-law, your hands will be bloody by the evening. This is not okay."

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said:

"Wait a moment, I'll bring you something."

Xiao Wei ran towards the group, and after a while, he pushed a cart out. This is a good thing!

With the cart, it saved a lot of effort for these women.

They stacked the bricks onto the cart and tried to pull the cart over, but it didn't move.

When Fu Chunhua saw that Liang Xinyue couldn't pull the cart, she hurried forward to help. Only then did she realize that they had loaded too much on the cart and it was too heavy, so they couldn't pull it.
