Chapter 40 Are you Captain Gu’s lover?
Getting into the procurement truck, Shen Zhiyu looked out at the scenery while listening to Gu Ye and Xiao He talk. This was her first time riding this kind of truck, the driver’s seat was unusually high. She was even helped by Gu Ye when she got in.
For those who worked in logistics support, being meticulous was the most basic requirement. He saw the interaction between Gu Ye and Shen Zhiyu, and silently thought to himself, who said that Regiment Commander Gu and his wife had a bad relationship.
This looked like… how could it look like they had a bad relationship? The truck hadn’t been driving for long, and the scenery outside the window changed from low, flat houses to mountains! Shen Zhiyu’s eyes widened, why were they going further and further into the mountains?
Xiao He was a very talkative person, he smiled and said to Shen Zhiyu, “Sister-in-law, our unit is stationed in the mountains, the environment and air are great, it’s also convenient to go to the county and city to buy things, we go to the county to buy things every day, and we go to the city to buy supplies for everyone regularly, the unit also has a supply and marketing cooperative, but they don’t have everything, Sister-in-law, just tell me if you want anything, and I’ll bring it back.”
When Shen Zhiyu got off the truck, she noticed that the people here spoke with a bit of an accent. But it wasn’t unpleasant, and it made you feel close to them. She smiled, unconsciously imitating Xiao He’s tone, “Okay, I’ll probably have a lot of things to ask you for then.”
“No problem!” Xiao He thought Shen Zhiyu was just being polite, but Gu Ye knew better. His wife was definitely not being polite. Although she loved to sleep in, she also loved to make trouble. Luckily for him, he had drawn a house with a larger area during the lottery, enough for her to make trouble.
After driving for about twenty minutes on the mountain road, passing by fields, and then driving for another half hour, they finally arrived. Xiao He was a good driver; he drove very smoothly. Although it was a mountain road, Shen Zhiyu didn’t feel uncomfortable sitting on it. When they reached the entrance of the unit, the truck stopped, and two young comrades in military uniforms holding guns were standing at the gate. Seeing them walking towards them, Shen Zhiyu couldn’t help but hold her breath. Gu Ye sensed her unease and patted her hand.
The guards stopped in front of the truck and saluted. Then they walked to the back, to the window where Shen Zhiyu and Gu Ye were sitting, “Chief, good afternoon!” “Comrade, good afternoon, this is my wife, Shen Zhiyu.” The guards saluted Shen Zhiyu again, “Sister-in-law, good afternoon!” This was the first time Shen Zhiyu had been saluted like this, she felt very uncomfortable. But she couldn’t lose face! She forced a stiff smile, “Good afternoon.”
“Get off and register, Xiao He, you go in first, we’ll walk over later.” “No problem, I’ll wait here.” Xiao He smiled innocently, revealing eight teeth. The unit was very strict about the entry and exit of personnel and vehicles, except for unit personnel and vehicles, other personnel and vehicles had to register. Although military wives who came to join their husbands didn’t need to register every time, they had to register when they first arrived. And they also had to update their information regularly. Taking out the introduction letter, Shen Zhiyu filled in her information under Gu Ye’s guidance.
After confirming that there were no problems, she smiled and thanked the guard, “Thank you, Sister-in-law.” Gu Ye looked at her in surprise. When they were alone, Shen Zhiyu would act like she wanted to ride on his head, she would whine and even cry if she was unhappy. He was worried that she would be like this on the road. But all the way here, her reaction completely surprised him. Sensing his gaze, Shen Zhiyu turned her head. She saw that the man was smiling at her previous behavior, the woman bit her lower lip, and after he got on the truck, she pinched him on the waist when no one was looking. She raised her chin arrogantly and looked at him, what are you smiling at! Gu Ye: “……. ” He held back his laughter, he didn’t dare to laugh in front of her. But when he turned his head to look out the window, the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted.
When they arrived at the family housing area, the first thing they saw was several two-story buildings. They looked like the buildings Shen Zhiyu had seen in the provincial capital. There was also an empty space, it looked like a sports field. Why did she know it was a sports field?
Because Shen Zhiyu saw the horizontal bars and parallel bars that Gu Ye had described to her! Shen Zhiyu’s excited, expectant, and joyful mood instantly plummeted. How could she forget? Gu Ye had said that when she arrived, he would supervise her exercise!
He had even said that she could do how many pull-ups on this bar! She thought they were also living here, but the car didn’t stop, it continued driving inside. The houses became shorter, there were rows of single-story houses with courtyards, but they were also neat and orderly, just like the buildings in front. Seeing a particularly empty courtyard, Shen Zhiyu suddenly had a premonition.
Sure enough, the car stopped in front of the courtyard gate. Xiao He helped them carry their luggage down, before leaving, Shen Zhiyu thanked him and said that they would have a dinner party at home in two days, and asked Xiao He to come over.
The smile on Xiao He’s face became even brighter. He was even a little embarrassed, he scratched his head and said shyly, “Sister-in-law, you’re too polite, it’s my job.” They pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in. This courtyard was bigger than the one they had in the countryside, but it was bare, it was obvious that it hadn’t been taken care of. It would be nice to plant some vegetables or fruit trees in this large empty space.
Noticing her gaze, Gu Ye took out his key, opened the door and said, “We just got this house, we haven’t had time to clean up, you can decide how to decorate it, whatever you want.”
Hearing this, Shen Zhiyu’s mood instantly brightened. She smiled and nodded, “You said it, then I want to plant a fruit tree! And plant some vegetables! And raise two chickens!” Although she was spoiled, she had grown up in the countryside, seeing such a large piece of land, she felt it was a waste to leave it empty, she had to plant something. “Okay, we’ll see what kind of tree to plant then, I’ll see if I can get some saplings or seeds back.” He opened the door, the house was a square single-story house facing south. The first thing you saw was the living room, which was well-lit.
The door opened, and the room was bright even without turning on the lights. There were four rooms in total, not counting the kitchen. To the left of the entrance was the master bedroom, with a large window, beautiful glass windows, the morning sun poured into the room, although there was nothing in the room besides some secondhand furniture from the logistics department, it still felt comfortable. The rest were two small bedrooms and a storage room.
The kitchen wasn’t connected to the house, but was a separate room in the backyard. The kitchen was spacious, with a stove that could fit two pots, allowing you to cook rice at the same time. There was also a large vat next to the stove, they didn’t have running water like in the city, they had to carry water back every day, which was the same as in the countryside.
The kitchen was large, it was divided into two rooms, inside for cooking, and outside there was a square table and two long benches, they usually ate there. The house was quite clean, but there was nothing besides the furniture in the master bedroom and the table and chairs in the kitchen. There wasn’t even a bed made. Shen Zhiyu suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Gu Ye put his things away, took out his lunch box and ration coupons, “You sit down for a while, I’ll go get some food from the canteen.” “
Okay.” She hadn’t eaten much since she got up this morning, Shen Zhiyu swallowed, she was already so hungry that her chest was touching her back, “I want to eat meat.” “Okay.”
The man went out to get food, Shen Zhiyu prepared to unpack her luggage, at least make the bed, rest for a while at noon, and then she would have the energy to clean the house in the afternoon. Not long after Gu Ye left, someone knocked on their door.
Shen Zhiyu went out and saw a plainly dressed middle-aged woman standing at their door. Seeing Shen Zhiyu come out, her eyes were full of curiosity and scrutiny, “Girl, are you Regiment Commander Gu’s wife?”
