Chapter 102: The Backyard Was Taken Over

Xiao Nan felt a little uneasy.

“Doesn’t she know how great you are? Divorce? Isn’t she out of her mind?”

Chen Mingchuan looked like a crow: “This… I can’t tell her: I’m great, I’m great, can I?”

“But I feel like she knows something.”

Knowing and still daring to divorce his brother?

Once again, Xiao Nan affirmed: “She definitely doesn’t know!”

“Don’t worry, when time passes, she’ll know how great you are.”

“Then, you’ll see if she’ll still leave!”

This… Chen Mingchuan felt a little unsure…

“Well, take your time, let her think it over.”

“Come on, let’s go for a few laps, see if you’ve regressed.”

Xiao Nan nodded: “Let’s go! Let’s see if you’ve been slacking off this month.”

Slacking off?

Chen Mingchuan laughed.

There was no word “slacking off” in his life dictionary!

“The loser can’t drink for three months!”

This sleep, Li Xinyue slept soundly.

When she and Chen Yi Heng got up, Chen Mingchuan had already brought back breakfast.

“I’m often not in the camp, there’s still a lot of leftover food from before, I’ll go to the camp to get meals from now on.”

She doesn’t have to cook?

That’s not bad!

“Are you coming back for lunch?”

“We’ll see, if I come back to eat, I’ll bring the food back, we’ll talk about it then.”

Don’t come back, save me from cooking!

Li Xinyue was a foodie, but that didn’t mean she liked to cook every day.

But she didn’t dare say that.

Because she knew Chen Mingchuan’s character a little, you tell him not to come back, he’ll come back!

Besides porridge and steamed buns, there were also pickled vegetables and eggs.

Chen Mingchuan brought three bowls.

While dividing the porridge, he said: “You each have one egg.”

“One is my share, and one is from my own money, just eat it.”

One egg a day is good, eggs are nutritious and supplement many nutrients for the body.

Li Xinyue looked up: “What about you?”

“I don’t need to eat, I’m strong.”

Li Xinyue was speechless: “…”

Eating eggs is a need of the body, what does it have to do with being strong?

“I’ll only say it once, remember: You have high-intensity physical training every day, you can’t lack protein! Otherwise, it will affect your physique.”

“Our family is not short of an egg, starting tomorrow: everyone must eat one egg a day!”

Alright!

Who told him to marry a wife who could make money?

“I’ll do as you say.”

Actually, with Chen Mingchuan’s high-intensity physical training, one egg a day was not enough.

He wouldn’t even eat one himself, his body would definitely suffer if this went on for a long time!

I’ll see if there are any places that sell flour, I’ll mix some soy flour for him to eat.

There were pickled vegetables and spicy fish chunks she brought with her in the morning.

The coarse steamed buns weren’t delicious, but they were still better than Chen’s sweet potato thread rice.

After breakfast, they went to the bathroom.

Chen Mingchuan asked her: “How do you want to fix this bathroom, you tell me and I’ll do it.”

“Just raise the inside of the bathroom a bit and make it level.”

“This wall, if it can be whitewashed, it would be even better.”

“That’s easy, what else needs to be done.”

There were too many things that needed to be done.

If she was going to live in this house for a long time, Li Xinyue wanted to renovate it completely on her own.

But Chen Mingchuan said they wouldn’t be living here for long.

“I don’t want to do anything else, just that I have nowhere to put my clothes, I want to make a big wardrobe.”

What’s a big wardrobe?

Chen Mingchuan didn’t understand at once: “What kind of?”

He’s never seen it?

Li Xinyue opened her mouth: “I’ll draw it for you.”

“Okay!”

As soon as Li Xinyue finished drawing, Chen Mingchuan opened his mouth: “This kind… nobody has done it here…”

Okay.

“Can we get cement and bricks?”

Chen Mingchuan didn’t understand again: “You want to use cement and bricks to make a wardrobe?”

Li Xinyue nodded: “Yes! And I want to make a whole wall of wardrobes. Wait, I’ll draw it for you.”

“Right, do you have a ruler? Let’s measure it first.”

“I have one in my military bag.”

Soon, Chen Mingchuan took out the steel ruler, and the two of them measured against the wall…

While measuring, Li Xinyue explained: “Leave the top part for storing winter quilts, thick cotton-padded jackets, and things like that.”

“This middle area will be used entirely for hanging clothes, we’ll buy some clothes racks later.”

“This bottom part will be for underwear and things like that.”

“Right, I wonder if the military service store sells clothes racks.”

Chen Mingchuan immediately said: “We don’t need to buy clothes racks, I’ll make them.”

Huh?

Li Xinyue was surprised: “You know how to do carpentry?”

Chen Mingchuan nodded: “I know a little, but my skills aren’t very good.”

“When I was ten, I apprenticed with a carpenter in the village for two years to make a living.”

“Later, my master got sick, so I went back home.”

Damn, this guy has some skills!

As long as someone can do it!

The clothes racks don’t need to be too elaborate, as long as they can dry clothes.

Li Xinyue nodded: “Okay, if you can make them, that’s great. We’ll also make some drying racks in the backyard later, so I can dry herbs.”

“No problem.”

Chen Mingchuan went to get sand, cement, and bricks. After drawing a detailed plan, Li Xinyue washed the dishes and went to the backyard.

She hadn’t seen the backyard yet.

It seemed like every house here had a small yard.

Walking out the door, there was indeed a backyard.

The yard wasn’t big, about thirty square meters.

Vegetables were planted in the yard, she didn’t know who planted them, and she also discovered something.

That is, her yard seemed to have been occupied by someone for two feet!

The backyard fence was made of wooden stakes, which were wooden poles inserted into the ground.

On the left was Li Jianshan’s house, and on the right was Sun Jishi’s house.

The family that occupied the two feet of her yard was Sun Jishi’s?

It was said that this Technician Sun was a car expert, any kind of car that came into his hands, he could dismantle and reassemble.

He was a specially recruited soldier, a technical deputy battalion-level cadre recruited from the car factory. He used to be a temporary worker at the car factory.

Because he didn’t have a town household registration, he learned as an apprentice at the factory when he was thirteen, and he didn’t become a regular worker until he was twenty-seven.

Li Xinyue hadn’t met this family yet.

But her impression of them wasn’t very good.

“Oh, this is the wife of Battalion Commander Chen, you’re so pretty!”

“I heard you came yesterday, but I haven’t seen you yet!”

“I’m Sun Weigang’s mother, just call me Auntie Sun.”

Auntie Sun was very familiar, and she didn’t feel embarrassed at all when she saw Li Xinyue, as if she hadn’t occupied two feet of her yard.

Li Xinyue gave her a faint smile: “Hello, my surname is Li.”

“You’re Xiao Li, why did you only join the army now?”

“Battalion Commander Chen has been promoted to deputy battalion commander for five years, why are you only coming now?”

“Did your husband, Battalion Commander Chen, not plan to let you join the army?”

Auntie Sun was full of curiosity, her old face was wrinkled with curiosity, full of wrinkles.

Li Xinyue was a little speechless.

Did old people get worse, or did bad people get old?

Meeting for the first time, asking this, what did it mean?

“Auntie, when I join the army, when my husband lets me join the army, does it have anything to do with you?”

Auntie Sun’s face twitched: This woman, so rude!

Can’t an old lady be curious?

“Oh, sister-in-law, Auntie is just curious, don’t mind it.”

“Auntie Sun, do you mean this?”
