His predecessor failed

Sister-in-law Qin was extremely enthusiastic towards Su Zhuzhu, picking up dishes and pouring water for her, without paying any attention to Captain Qiao at all, making Captain Qiao feel very neglected. He could no longer keep this daughter-in-law. The two of them had been very close to each other during the past few days since she came back, but why did she ignore him when Comrade Su came today? This was a lesbian, and she was from He Qiaojin's family. What was his wife trying to do by being so excited!

Captain Qiao and Mrs. Qin have a son who attends high school in the county, which is quite far away, so he lives on campus and usually doesn't come back.

Mrs. Qin, who has no daughter, thinks that Su Zhuzhu looks like the daughter she imagined, delicate, soft, and sweet-speaking. Although she is only a dozen years older than Su Zhuzhu, Su Zhuzhu looks young and like a minor. It's really a good thing for He Qiaojin.

After dinner, Mrs. Qin asked Captain Qiao for the key to He Qiaojin's house. After asking for the location, she took Su Zhuzhu directly there. Captain Qiao, who was told to wash the dishes, had no choice but to clean up the dishes and wash them.

It was already dark at this time, and a few lights were on in the family compound. Although not as bright as the street lights in later generations, they were bright enough for Su Zhuzhu to see the road clearly.

After exiting the courtyard gate of Captain Qiao's house, follow Mrs. Qin, turn right, and walk straight ahead. You will find the house at the end. It is the house that He Qiaojin applied for that Captain Qiao mentioned.

Su Zhuzhu took a look at the environment outside. It was not bad. Although it was a little far, it was completely acceptable. It was only two steps away, and it was very quiet at the edge. There were no people passing by the door. The wall on the right side of the house was also built very high, giving her a full sense of security.

Mrs. Qin took the key and opened the gate to the yard. The gate was a wooden door painted white, and it looked newly painted. She thought about what she had read in a book about a small yard surrounded by a bamboo fence. When a white wooden door was gently opened, the whole world was filled with the colors of spring.

Although the house in front of you does not have a bamboo fence, the condition is very good. The walls are made of red bricks and are less than one person high. Everything that happens in the yard can be seen from the outside.

Su Zhuzhu followed Mrs. Qin into the yard. The yard was quite big, even bigger than Mrs. Qin's house, but there was nothing planted in it. You could see that the soil had been turned over, but it was bare without anything planted in it.

There is a big persimmon tree in the west corner of the yard. The tree is full of persimmons, but they are not ripe yet and cannot be eaten. However, Su Zhuzhu can imagine how beautiful the tree will be when it is full of red persimmons in autumn.

Mrs. Qin had already walked to the front door. She took out a key, opened the door, turned on the light, and helped Su Zhuzhu carry the suitcase into the living room.

Su Zhuzhu, who was a little crooked, walked into the living room and looked around. It was about a dozen square meters. Her first impression was that it was clean and tidy. It was indeed a military style. The houses were all decorated in the same style.

There is a square dining table in the living room, placed at the kitchen door, with two armchairs. There is a large window opposite it, and nothing else. It's quite simple.

Mrs. Qin didn't know whether He Qiaojin had lived in this house before and had difficulty moving around on his own, so she followed Su Zhuzhu and looked around.

Just like my own home, it has three bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom. Except that the yard is slightly bigger and is on the edge, the rest of the layout is the same as my own home.

The master bedroom has a 1.8-meter bed, a large wardrobe, and a small table next to the bed for storing things. The other two rooms, the one next to the master bedroom is the study, which has a large bookcase, a desk, and a chair. The last room has no furniture at all. He Qiaojin put some tools and other things in it, and it is temporarily serving as a storage room.

The kitchen is very small, but He Qiaojin has already equipped it with all the pots and pans. There is an earthen stove, a coal stove, and about a hundred coal briquettes piled in the corner. It looks like everything needs some ingredients and sauces to start cooking.

The bathroom is outside the house. Turn right at the front door and walk to the end of the corridor to find the bathroom. This is what Su Zhuzhu is most satisfied with. It is really great to have a separate bathroom in such a large courtyard and not have to go to the public toilet. In addition, He Qiaojin built a shower room according to the style of the one built by Su Zhuzhu herself in the Red Star Brigade Youth League Institute, and expanded it to be used separately from the bathroom. Both are made of cement and look very clean.

After looking at the whole house, I found that it is simple but not shabby.

Yes, the furniture was new and the walls had been painted, but there was no breath of life at all. There were also many odds and ends, especially soft furnishings that needed to be purchased. For example, the most important thing tonight was to hang curtains in the master bedroom. The bare windows made Su Zhuzhu very uncomfortable.

Mrs. Qin asked Su Zhuzhu to settle down first. She ran home and brought back a burning coal ball, which she directly replaced in the stove. She helped Su Zhuzhu light the fire and put a kettle on the stove to boil water.

She also brought a needle and iodine. Mrs. Qin had noticed that Su Zhuzhu walked a little crookedly and wore thin-soled shoes. Then she thought about what Lao Qiao said about this girl coming here alone to visit her relatives, and the bumpy journey, so she must have blisters on the soles of her feet. Mrs. Qin had experienced this before.

I told Su Zhuzhu to soak her feet in water after taking a bath to relieve fatigue, and also to remember to prick the blisters, squeeze out the tissue fluid, and apply iodine to disinfect them, so that they would heal faster.

After asking Su Zhuzhu, Mrs. Qin opened the big wardrobe in the bedroom. Seeing that the quilt and other items were all there, she told Su Zhuzhu to come to her house for breakfast tomorrow, and then went back.

After seeing off Mrs. Qin, Su Zhuzhu carefully closed the gate. There was nothing to see in the yard, so she went into the house and looked around. This was where she and He Qiaojin would live in the future. She was quite satisfied with it. He Qiaojin had taken many small details into consideration. Su Zhuzhu was very satisfied.

Really not wanting to move, Su Zhuzhu went to the kitchen and turned off the burning coal stove, then found a piece of cloth in the space and hung it on the window of the master bedroom. She would make some curtains when she had time in a couple of days.

After hanging the curtains and making the bed, Su Zhuzhu went straight into the space.

When she was soaking contentedly in the large massage bathtub, she sighed, "It's so comfortable!"

The soles of her feet still hurt a little. I saw it when I took off my shoes just now. There were five blisters on both feet. Su Zhuzhu ignored it and waited until she finished taking a beautiful bath. She dripped some essential oil into the water, and the fragrance of camellia instantly filled the air. It was just like taking a walk in a camellia forest. She ate a few pieces of watermelon and cantaloupe, and massaged. If she hadn't been afraid of an accident and being suspected of being an enemy spy, Su Zhuzhu would have wanted to sleep in her own flat tonight. There was no bed more comfortable than hers. It was a pity that she hadn't slept in it for so long.

After taking a comfortable bath, Su Zhuzhu treated the blisters on her feet. She was a doctor, so this was too easy for her. After finishing, she went to the space kitchen to cook herself a bowl of snail noodles and fried an egg. Although she had dinner at Captain Qiao's house, Su Zhuzhu still felt a little hungry. She had eaten very light food these days, so she wanted to have something with a strong taste. In addition, Mrs. Qin didn't know that she would be taken back by Captain Qiao for dinner, so she just picked up some dishes. Su Zhuzhu didn't feel embarrassed to eat too much, so she simply cooked a bowl of snail noodles to satisfy her stomach. She was very satisfied with the meal, but the taste was a bit strong, so Su Zhuzhu brushed her teeth and left the space after eating.

He Qiaojin hadn't been here for a while, so he didn't have the energy to clean the house tonight. Su Zhuzhu just found a rag and wiped the bedroom. Fortunately, there wasn't much furniture, so she just wiped it casually. After wiping, she took out the quilt and other things from the closet and made the bed.

The sheets, quilt covers and pillows were all taken out from the space. Su Zhuzhu had already selected, washed and dried them in the space. He Qiaojin was not there, so Su Zhuzhu did not change into the bedding issued by the army. She felt that the ones she prepared were more to her liking. Su Zhuzhu looked at the gray-blue plaid four-piece set and was very satisfied.

After carefully checking the doors and windows to make sure they were all closed, Su Zhuzhu climbed onto the bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep. She was really tired.

The next morning, Su Zhuzhu was woken up by the army's wake-up call, but she couldn't get up. After the wake-up call, she went back to sleep. It wasn't until the alarm rang at 7 o'clock that Su Zhuzhu slowly got up from the bed and washed up.

Remembering that she was going to Mrs. Qin's house for breakfast today, Su Zhuzhu changed into a light green dress. The dress was simple and elegant, and had a slightly nipped waistline. It made Su Zhuzhu, whose already fair skin, look like flowers, and her curvy figure made her walk gracefully.

I counted my things, found a net bag, put four sausages, four apples, and four bottles of hot sauce of different flavors in it, locked the door, and walked towards Mrs. Qin's house along the route I remembered from last night.

It was already late when I followed Captain Qiao into the family compound last night, so few people had seen Su Zhuzhu. It was early morning to work, and there were people buying vegetables on the street, watering the vegetable fields, and washing clothes in the yard, and they were all women.

Although the road to Sister Qin's house was not far, the houses here were all full. At this moment, several sisters-in-law who were working were all staring at Su Zhuzhu who was walking under the shade of the tree.

I saw a light green figure walking under the lush shade of the trees. The morning sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and onto the light green figure, which was so beautiful that it seemed to glow.

After the people walked past, they remembered that the stranger came from the house at the very edge. Wasn't that yard assigned to Deputy Captain He? They hadn't heard that Deputy Captain He and his team had returned from the mission. This woman was so beautiful, could it be that Deputy Captain He's girlfriend had come?

Realizing this, the sisters-in-law immediately dropped the work in their hands and gathered under the big tree where they usually chatted and gossiped to exchange ideas.

Because no one had seen her before, and no one could get any results from gossip, everyone finally decided to go to Qin's house to ask. Qin's house was usually in charge of the courtyard, and everyone would tell Qin's house about anything, so they usually got along well. Qin's house was kind and fair, and was highly respected by the sisters-in-law in the courtyard. If there was any conflict, they were willing to give Qin's house some face.

Everyone speculated that the girl who walked over might be Deputy Captain He’s girlfriend. After all, Deputy Captain He had spent a lot of effort on this courtyard.

Many of the military wives’ husbands are He Qiaojin’s subordinates, so everyone is willing to take the initiative to make friends with them.

Su Zhuzhu had no idea that she had become the central topic of the day in the compound after walking on the road for less than ten minutes.

When I arrived at Sister Qin's house, I handed the things for Sister Qin to her first, and then greeted Sister Qin sweetly.

Mrs. Qin looked at the big bag of things and insisted that Su Zhuzhu take it back to eat herself. Although they were all ordinary things, they were not available casually. The sausages were specially made by Su Zhuzhu, and apples were not in season at this time. As for the hot sauce, Su Zhuzhu was very confident in the hot sauce produced by her own hot sauce factory.

The two of them refused for a long time, and finally ended with Su Zhuzhu saying, "If sister-in-law doesn't accept it, I will go back directly and never dare to come to your house for a free meal again." Sister-in-law Qin accepted Su Zhuzhu's gift, and Su Zhuzhu sat down at the dining table with a smile.

Captain Qiao will not be back for breakfast today, so Su Zhuzhu and Mrs. Qin will eat alone.

Mrs. Qin prepared vegetable porridge, two boiled eggs, two egg pancakes, and a plate of pickles. While bringing the plates to the table, she told Su Zhuzhu to eat quickly.

Su Zhuzhu was not polite, knowing that Qin's wife was a straightforward person, she served porridge to both of them and started to eat breakfast. Qin's wife's cooking skills were good, the egg pancakes were golden and chewy, and the pickled vegetables and green vegetable porridge were so warming that Su Zhuzhu ate two bowls in a row before stopping.

After breakfast, Su Zhuzhu helped Qin's wife clean up the dishes, and the two sat down in the living room to chat. Qin's wife was mainly concerned about Su Zhuzhu's life. A young girl came here, she was unfamiliar with the place, and Xiao He was not there, so she had to take care of her more.

Looking at Su Zhuzhu's delicate fingers, Mrs. Qin originally thought that Su Zhuzhu was a woman who had never done housework. She planned to have Su Zhuzhu come to their house for dinner in the next few days. It would only be one more person and wouldn't be a big deal.

Unexpectedly, Su Zhuzhu refused, which surprised Qin's wife. Su Zhuzhu explained that she might stay longer this time to visit her relatives. He Qiaojin had already prepared everything. She would go to the military supply and marketing cooperative later to buy some common vegetables and daily necessities, and she would cook for herself. She couldn't stay at Qin's house for so many days.

Mrs. Qin thought about it and it made sense. If it were her, she would rather go to the cafeteria to eat every day than eat at someone else's house.

After knowing Su Zhuzhu's idea, Mrs. Qin said that since she didn't need to come to her house for dinner, she would accompany Su Zhuzhu to the supply and marketing cooperative and take a walk to get familiar with the place.

Soon, the two of them closed the door and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Sister Qin is a celebrity in the family compound and everyone knows her. At this time, there are many people coming and going, most of whom are buying vegetables. Everyone greets Sister Qin, and while greeting them, they naturally pay attention to Su Zhuzhu who is traveling with Sister Qin.
