The military compound, the current family buildings are very simple, some of them are still single-story houses, and a few years ago, the unit built two tubular buildings.
Six households on each floor, Huang Guozhong lives in the leftmost unit on the second floor of building 3, it’s a small single room with shared toilet and kitchen.
Even so, every household thinks the tubular building is nice, after all, it’s a building with running water.
After training, Huang Guozhong returned home, and Zhang Cuiping had already prepared the meal.
"Wow, the meal is nice today, and there’s even dessert?" Huang Guozhong casually picked up his son and sat at the dining table.
Zhang Cuiping gave him a blank look, "This dessert was given by Han Yi’s new wife."
"Yes, today when we went to the city, we ran into Captain Han’s wife on the road, who brought some things for him, and before leaving, she also gave a package of dessert to a few of us army wives. It happens to be Mid-Autumn Festival today, so we shared it." Although the man is a company commander, his monthly salary is only about thirty yuan, and every month he has to send ten yuan back home. Looking at the family together is quite happy, but life is still very tight.
Today is a holiday, a few close sisters went to the city together, but in fact, they were reluctant to buy anything, only purchasing some daily necessities.
"Why don’t you stop eating, and go deliver the things to Han Yi. It’s Mid-Autumn Festival today, his wife might have been hoping it would be delivered today when she stopped the car on the road." Zhang Cuiping has a good impression of Lin Wan, not just because she is pretty, but also quite resourceful.
"Alright, there’s a gathering today, it’s just finished now (a book friend said, I used ’this moment’, it sounds like ’this son—moment’, oh well, I can only remove the word ’er’), that guy has been off lately, probably missing his wife." Huang Guozhong said, holding his son in one hand and carrying the things, walking towards the troops.
When Han Yi returned to the dormitory, it was already past eight. During the festival gala, quite a few old leaders came to send regards. He drank a few glasses of liquor.
Lying in bed, Han Yi felt a bit dizzy, with a heavy emptiness in his heart. In the past, he especially despised those comrades who frequently mentioned their wives, even though they were tough and rigid men, thinking of their wives all the time like women.
Therefore, since he returned to the troops, he hadn’t called home once, nor had he written a letter. Today, seeing those comrades and army wives in the company joyfully together, he thought of Lin Wan.
Just newlywed for two days before returning, leaving her in an unfamiliar environment, he hadn’t even said a comforting word, even pretending indifference, without making a single phone call. The more he thought, the more he felt he was an idiot.
"Han Yi, are you drunk?" Gao Ran, Han Yi, Sixth Company Commander Yang Wei, and Second Company Instructor Qin Hongbing lived in the same dormitory. When Huang Guozhong brought the things, he saw Han Yi lying in bed asleep.
"Pidan is here, come let uncle hug you." Although Yang Wei is a company commander and strict during training, privately he is kind and often mingles with the new recruits. The comrades in the dormitory gave him a nickname, Paper Tiger.
Qin Hongbing is an instructor, eloquent, with lots of ideas, being the big brother of the dormitory. Gao Ran and Han Yi are the only shooting team captains in the military region, with Han Yi as captain and Gao Ran as vice-captain.
Originally, when Huang Guozhong’s wife didn’t follow the troops, she also lived in the dormitory. After they moved out, Gao Ran was transferred over.
"It’s still Sister-in-law Zhang who is thoughtful, see, she let Huang Lianzhang bring us delicious food." Gao Ran said and was about to get off the bed to pick up the net bag from Huang Guozhong.
"Hey, hey, I’m not that kind-hearted, this was brought back by Han Yi’s little wife, if you want to eat it, you have to see Captain Han’s idea." Huang Guozhong brushed Gao Ran aside and gave the items to Han Yi.
Han Yi had already woken up when Huang Guozhong came in, and hearing it was brought by his wife, he quickly sat up.
