Chapter 49

The bed in the room was very simple, it was a bunk bed made by the army, so it was very small.

Lu Huaijing, a big man, could sleep on it just fine, but with Tang Wan, it would be a little cramped.

Tang Wan had already washed the big red bedspread she bought and put it in the space, now she was using the bedding she slept on at the Tang family.

“You have training tomorrow, get some rest early.”

Tang Wan blushed as she climbed onto the bed, suddenly feeling a little nervous. Although her period hadn’t ended yet, they wouldn’t do anything.

But thinking about sleeping together again, she felt her mouth go dry.

Lu Huaijing went out for a while, Tang Wan burrowed into the covers, hiding in the corner.

“Wife, drink this.”

Unexpectedly, Lu Huaijing went to make her a big cup of brown sugar water, it was warm, Tang Wan took it and sipped it slowly.

“Who taught you this?”

This man was better at flirting than modern scumbags, did he have a girlfriend before?

“Every time my little sister got her period, my mother would prepare brown sugar water.”

Lu Huaijing was afraid that Tang Wan would misunderstand, so he explained. Speaking of Lu Huai Li, Tang Wan was a little confused.

“Isn’t your little sister also following the army? When you have time, call her over for dinner.”

Lu Huaijing’s smile faltered, he nodded and replied, “Okay, I’ll tell my brother-in-law when we’re done.”

Seeing his expression, Tang Wan was suspicious, it felt like the siblings weren’t close.

Forget it, she shouldn’t interfere.

Thinking of the original owner’s parents, Tang Wan lowered her voice and asked him, “Is it convenient to tell me where my parents are?

I’m going out tomorrow, if I have time, I want to go see them secretly.”

“Then be careful.”

Lu Huaijing wasn’t really at ease, but he had a lot of tasks these days, so he could only repeatedly tell Tang Wan.

“They’re in Mao Zhuang Brigade, not far from where the army is stationed.”

“Okay, I got it.”

They were both very tired these days, maybe because of the special period, after talking about business, Tang Wan was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.

The air was filled with Lu Huaijing’s grassy scent, it was quite pleasant.

She fell asleep in a daze, unaware that Lu Huaijing’s eyes were filled with helplessness.

The little girl really had no defenses.

The bed was very small, Lu Huaijing was afraid that he would push her off, so he quickly put his arm around her waist.

Perhaps sensing the heat, Tang Wan in her sleep wrapped her arms around Lu Huaijing like an octopus.

Lu Huaijing: …

He couldn’t sleep even more now.

The little girl was breathing evenly, her small mouth slightly pouting, it was a little…

Cough cough… Lu Huaijing quickly looked away, closed his eyes and began to recite the army regulations.

He was indeed tired from the journey, he gradually fell asleep, smelling her fresh scent.

They both slept soundly that night, when Tang Wan woke up, Lu Huaijing was no longer in the room.

She checked the watch she took out of the space, it was only six o’clock, this guy got up really early.

She got dressed in the dark, Tang Wan knocked on Tang Zhou’s door and told him to lock the door.

As soon as she got to the kitchen, she saw a full tank of water in the kitchen, it seemed that Lu Huaijing had carried it early in the morning.

This man was so considerate, Tang Wan’s heart felt sweet, and she boiled a few boiled eggs for Tang Zhou on the coal stove.

Then she took a basket and went to the back of the canteen, as Lu Huaijing had said.

The supply truck that went to buy supplies was parked there, it was a large truck, and the shed behind it could accommodate people.

When she arrived, there was only a young soldier, the young soldier had a sunny smile.

“Sister-in-law, going to the city?”

“Yeah.”

Tang Wan took out the eggs she had cooked in the space and gave one to the young soldier.

“Comrade, you haven’t eaten anything since morning, have some together?”

She hadn’t eaten either, she took an egg and peeled it to eat, the young soldier quickly waved his hand.

“Thank you, sister-in-law, but I’ve already eaten.”

He refused to take it no matter what, Tang Wan didn’t want to force him, just then, Zhang Hongyan appeared with a basket.

“Sister.”

She had a smile on her face, “I was going to go to your house to find you, but I was afraid you hadn’t woken up yet and it would disturb your rest.

Who would have thought, we met here.”

“Sister-in-law, come on in.”

Tang Wan quickly made room for Zhang Hongyan to sit, she handed her the egg to eat, Zhang Hongyan quickly refused.

“No need, I’ve already eaten at home, such a precious thing, you keep it for yourself.”

Thinking of the hardships of this time, Tang Wan awkwardly explained, “We just arrived here, there’s nothing at home.

This egg was saved by my mother-in-law for a long time, she didn’t want to eat it, there’s nothing else to eat to fill our stomachs, so we can only eat this for now.”

“Who says it’s not.”

Zhang Hongyan also opened up, and in no time, there were many military wives in the car.

They were new here, and they didn’t know everyone well, they just nodded slightly as a greeting.

This time, they didn’t run into Qiu Dazao, and soon the supply truck left the army smoothly.

The car wasn’t far from the nearest town, it arrived at the nearest Sha Tu Town at 7:20.

The young soldier parked the car there, the military wives got off one after another. It seemed that the act of giving him an egg in the morning had made the young soldier have a good impression of Tang Wan.

He reminded her, “Sister-in-law, if you want to take the car back, you have to be here at 9 o’clock.”

“It’s too early, we have a lot of things to buy, we might not make it.”

Zhang Hongyan sighed, there was nothing at home, it seemed that all the money and tickets they had left would have to be spent.

“Sister-in-laws, if you can’t catch the car, take the ox cart to the nearby Mao Zhuang Brigade, it’s only half an hour’s walk from there back to our station.”

The Mao Zhuang Brigade mentioned by the young soldier made Tang Wan’s eyes light up, so she could go and see the original owner’s parents on the way after she finished shopping.

“Thank you, comrade.”

After thanking the young soldier, Tang Wan and Zhang Hongyan went to the supply and marketing cooperative together.

It was still early, there weren’t many people in the supply and marketing cooperative, Tang Wan politely said to the supply and marketing cooperative staff:

“Comrade, please give me four large bowls, four small bowls, eight pairs of chopsticks…”

She listed a bunch of things, enamel cups, enamel basins, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, rice, flour…

She didn’t have salt jars or vinegar bottles, she bought eight-fen salt and vinegar, and the bottles cost two cents each.

Zhang Hongyan was stunned as she watched Tang Wan take out her money and tickets, she had spent a total of fifteen yuan!!!

This didn’t include salt tickets, vinegar tickets, etc.

Although her family wasn’t short of money, Tang Wan’s generous attitude shocked her.

“Sister-in-law, aren’t you buying anything?”

Tang Wan explained with a smile, “Huaijing is a rough man, before I came to the army, he didn’t cook himself.

So there’s nothing at home, although it’s expensive, we have to buy it.”

“You’re right.”

Zhang Hongyan said that she felt a little heartache, but her family was the same, there was nothing.

However, she was more frugal than Tang Wan, for example, she only bought a small jar of oil and salt, and half a bottle of vinegar.

Tang Wan was used to modern shopping, seeing Zhang Hongyan being so frugal, she felt quite annoyed.

Forget it, next time she would just smuggle things out of the space, she didn’t want to bother.

They bought a lot of things, Zhang Hongyan thought for a moment and said:

“Sister, we can still catch the car back, it’s more convenient to take the car with so many things.”

This was exactly what Tang Wan wanted, she wanted to separate from her, so she shook her head and said:

“Sister-in-law, you go back first, I still have to mail a letter to my family, I don’t know when I’ll be done.”

She could just clear out the “garbage” in the space.
