On this day, after lunch, the two of them began to think about the things they still lacked at home, planning to buy them together while Qiao Haoyu was still free today.
The basic pots and pans had been bought by Qiao Haoyu before he took leave, and they were already placed on the cupboards in the kitchen.
In addition to these, there are two large rooms with a wooden bed of about 1.5 meters each, a wardrobe and a table, and a square dining table and four stools in the main room. It still looks too spacious!
Qiao Haoyu and Wei Jiajia were going to the convenience service agency in the military region to buy some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, grains, vegetables, etc., and prepare to start a fire at home.
Before the package arrived, Qiao Haoyu knew how many things Wei Jiajia had brought. There was no way for her to sneak through space.
As for the large pieces of furniture Wei Jiajia wanted, they could only wait until Qiao Haoyu had time to find a carpenter in the village outside to make them fresh.
Qiao Haoyu originally wanted to do it before he came back, but he was afraid that Wei Jiajia wouldn't like the style he chose, so he only waited for her to come and look at the house before taking her there and letting her put forward her requirements to the carpenter on the spot.
Qiao Haoyu actually discovered very early that although Wei Jiajia was well-behaved every day, she didn't seem to have any big needs and seemed to be taking things as they came.
In fact, she is picky in many aspects, but many times, she hides her pickiness.
But Qiao Haoyu wanted her to be her true self in front of him, whether she was happy or unhappy, whether she liked it or not. There was no need to hide her true temperament. No one would blame her for this, he would only feel sad.
The two of them walked out with the basket, introducing her to the basic situation of the compound and the neighbors as they walked.
Qiao Haoyu has been living in the camp and is not very clear about the situation of his family members in the compound. He temporarily inquired with his colleagues after his application to join the army was approved.
When meeting people on the street, everyone would greet Qiao Haoyu enthusiastically, and then look at Wei Jiajia with curiosity.
Qiao Haoyu would stand still and introduce his wife to them solemnly. At this time, Wei Jiajia would stand there with a slight smile on her face, allowing others to look at her.
When she came today, she discovered that most of the family members actually didn't have any bad intentions, they were just curious when they suddenly saw a stranger.
The cultures of family members vary widely, and it is impossible to require everyone to understand the rules.
After the publicity from the sisters-in-law who delivered things to the Qiao family in the morning, the family members all knew that Camp Commander Qiao's family members were beautiful and generous, and the first thing they offered was exquisite snacks and white rabbit toffee, which made many family members beat their chests with regret. Why didn't I go out today or didn't take it seriously when I saw him? If I had given him some food, wouldn't he have gotten those things as well?
Among them is the sister-in-law who said bad things about Wei Jiajia in the morning. Although she blames Wei Jiajia for ruining her sister's marriage, this does not stop her from wanting snacks and toffee hearts!
Seeing the two of them now, many people began to think about what the Qiao family would give them in return if they gave them some food for dinner.
"Where are you taking your wife, Commander Qiao, with the basket?" someone asked.
"Get ready to start a fire at home tonight. Now I'm going to the service center to buy things and show my wife the way." Just thinking about how they will live like this in the future makes Qiao Haoyu feel very good.
When they heard that the couple opened fire in their home at night, the expressions on many people's faces could not hide their disappointment.
Qiao Haoyu and the two looked confused, wondering why they both had this expression.
Sister-in-law Cui, who delivered meals to Qiao's family at noon, understood what these people were thinking and sneered, thinking that these people were so ignorant that they were eyeing the newcomers before anything happened.
It's their own fault for talking too much. Today they brought food to Qiao's house. Many people saw it and were a little disapproving, and they were still making sarcastic remarks. Everyone held a breath in their hearts, and when they went back, they deliberately showed the return gift from Wei Jiajia. One was to retaliate against those people, and the other was to win favor with the Qiao family's daughter-in-law. They never expected that it would end up like this. The Qiao family couple He became a victim in the eyes of others.
"Then you go quickly. There is fresh seafood in the service center today. They are all fresh and fresh. They are still alive. It may not be possible if you go late!" Sister-in-law Cui ignored the others and just urged the two of them. They quickly went shopping.
Wei Jiajia's eyes lit up when she heard there was seafood.
In modern times, she loves to eat seafood the most. It doesn't need to be complicated, just boil it and it will be so delicious that it will make people drop their tongues. After the rebirth, although Shencheng was also close to the sea, due to the planned economy, it took a lot of effort to buy one. I didn't expect that there would be such a big surprise when I came here.
"If you don't know how to make it, buy it and I'll go to your home to teach you. It doesn't smell like this, but it's nutritious!" She was afraid that Wei Jiajia wouldn't know how to make it, so she kindly suggested.
After all, not everyone can stand the fishy smell. Many people in their compound don't know how to cook it. After doing it once, they are unwilling to try it again. If food was not tight now, many people would not touch it at all.
"Thank you sister-in-law. My house is also close to the sea. I can cook seafood." Wei Jiajia understood Sister-in-law Cui's sentiments and thanked her seriously. After speaking, she turned to look at Qiao Haoyu with an eager look on her face.
Qiao Haoyu looked at Wei Jiajia's greedy behavior in a funny way, thanked his sister-in-law and took her straight forward.
Some people's little calculations failed. Looking at Sister-in-law Cui, who was a good person to the Qiao family, they turned around and left in anger.
The others watched the two people walking away and began to discuss their backs. They all said that Camp Commander Qiao was too spoiled to his wife. How could any grown man accompany his wife to buy groceries? However, the only person they envied in their hearts was themselves. knew.
Even Sister-in-law Cui lamented in her heart that Wei Jiajia had a good life. Not only was she young, beautiful and well-educated, her husband loved her even more. It's not like the owner of his family who would lie on the bed when he got home and wouldn't even help him when the oil bottle fell. Occasionally, when she didn't have time and asked him to go shopping for groceries, people would plausibly say whoever's grown man carried the groceries basket was made by women.
He should really be allowed to come and see Battalion Commander Qiao, who is carrying a vegetable basket with a calm expression on his face while his wife is walking beside him empty-handed.
Arriving at the service club, Wei Jiajia saw the fish, shrimps and oysters jumping lively in the pool. Standing there, she was already thinking about a hundred ways to eat them.
In the end, the two decided to buy some of these three kinds, and cooked them all tonight, as a celebration of their housewarming.
After they bought all the rice, flour, grains and oils, they also bought a lot of cabbages, potatoes and other storable vegetables, so that Wei Jiajia would not have to buy them by herself when Qiao Haoyu was away. It was too heavy for her to carry back.
Because there were too many things, Qiao Haoyu couldn't carry them alone, and he was reluctant to bear Wei Jiajia's hard work, so he borrowed their handcart from the service agency and pushed the things home with Wei Jiajia.
When he returned home, Qiao Haoyu felt sweet and sour in his heart when he saw his little daughter-in-law who was busy like a little bee.
She should have been sitting in the office wearing beautiful clothes. After work, she would go shopping in department stores with her colleagues and friends, occasionally watch movies or go to the Cultural Palace to sing and dance together. When she got home, her family would have cooked meals. Holding her.
But because of herself, she came to such a strange environment, met all kinds of strange people, and had to wash her hands and make soup for herself. Her ideals and knowledge could not be put to use, and she could not even dress up beautifully. It may attract criticism.
Just because of him...
Qiao Haoyu felt a little depressed for a moment when he thought of this.
Wei Jiajia turned around and saw Qiao Haoyu leaning against the wall with his head down, wondering what he was thinking. It was obvious that he was feeling a little depressed.
"What's wrong with you?" Wei Jiajia put down the things in her hands, walked over and put her hands around his waist, looking up at him cautiously. He was obviously fine when he came back!
"It's nothing, I just remembered something, but now I have figured it out!" He reached out and touched her head, then kissed her red lips and said.
Qiao Haoyu has indeed figured out that although she has lost those things, he will spend the rest of his life to compensate Wei Jiajia, making her happier and making her taste sweet every day. When I think about it later, I won't regret being with myself.
Seeing that his mood returned to normal, Wei Jiajia laughed happily and rubbed her little head on his chest, like a coquettish little cat, so well-behaved that people couldn't help teasing him.
She didn't ask him what happened. Everyone has their own secrets that they don't want to tell others. She just wanted to know that he was happy! When he is willing to tell her, she will naturally know.
After moving things down and organizing them, it was still early for dinner, so Qiao Haoyu asked Wei Jiajia to go back to her room to rest. She must be very tired after a busy day today.
"I'm going to return the cart first, it won't be good if someone else wants to use it!"
Wei Jiajia nodded and then returned to the room.
When Qiao Haoyu came home, he saw his sweet little wife sleeping sweetly in bed.
Looking at her sweet sleeping face, Qiao Haoyu lowered his head with satisfaction and kissed her red lips.
Seeing her frown slightly because she was disturbed by him, Qiao Haoyu felt inexplicably guilty.
He took off his shoes and went to bed, carefully reaching out and holding Wei Jiajia into his arms. I wanted to just hold her and lie there quietly for a while, but unexpectedly, I fell asleep too.
Wei Jiajia woke up from the heat, feeling stuffy and hot. Her whole body seemed to be wrapped in a boiler, and she had a thin layer of fragrant sweat on her body.
He looked down and saw an arm draped across his chest.
Well, the culprit has been found...
Qiao Haoyu's body is full of fire energy, and his body is warm all year round.
It must be warm to hold her in winter, but it's summer now. Whenever he sleeps with Wei Jiajia in his arms, she feels like she's just been in a sauna every time she wakes up.
Qiao Haoyu, who was dominated by Wei Jiajia in other aspects, never gave in on this matter.
Even if Wei Jiajia slept alone at night, she still woke up in his arms in the morning.
In the end, Wei Jiajia gave up, so be it!
It was getting dark now, and the light in the room was somewhat unclear.
Seeing that her husband was sleeping so soundly, Wei Jiajia was reluctant to wake him up. She wanted to go and prepare dinner before waking him up, but as soon as she moved, Qiao Haoyu woke up too.
She simply shouted to him to get up and strike her, two strikes would be faster.
Chef Wei Jiajia and assistant Qiao Haoyu jointly cooked a feast to celebrate their new life here.
Looking at the braised fish, fried oysters and boiled shrimps on the table, Wei Jiajia's saliva was already secreting in her mouth.
Seeing his daughter-in-law sitting obediently at the table waiting for the meal, Qiao Haoyu was amused and helpless.
After heating the water for Wei Jiajia's bath on the stove, he hurried over.
He was afraid that if he went any slower, her saliva would flow out.
The two of them cooked two bowls of clear noodle soup with the dried noodles they brought, and started sipping on these three seafood dishes.
Wei Jiajia didn't have a big appetite on weekdays. A small bowl of noodles and some vegetables were enough to fill her up. After finishing the meal, she leaned back on the chair and touched her stomach in discomfort. The rest was taken care of by Qiao Haoyu alone. Seeing his stomach holding all those things like a bottomless pit, Wei Jiajia fell into deep thought.
Should she start thinking of ways to store grain and vegetables? She can't rely too much on space supermarkets. With the way he eats, it's all in one meal. Who makes him not afraid of the cold?
Wei Jiajia nodded her head to express understanding...
Seeing that her hair was almost dry, Qiao Haoyu put down the towel in his hand, picked her up and put her on the bed, then turned over and pressed her on her.
The faint fragrance emanating from her body had been filling the tip of his nose since she entered the room.
He had suppressed his wandering thoughts until now, and now he finally succeeded...
At Jingshi's house, because there were other people around, the two of them couldn't let go. He restrained himself every time, fearing that she would be shy the next day.
In his new home where there were only the two of them, he finally no longer had to hide himself.
Seeing Qiao Haoyu's bottomless expression, Wei Jiajia suddenly became a little scared.
Qiao Haoyu didn't give Wei Jiajia a chance to speak, and directly lowered his head and kissed her.
"......Well"
Accompanied by the sound of insects outside the window, there was the shaking sound of the wooden bed in the house until late at night and the sound of soft humming.
Wei Jiajia: It's so difficult for me...
Not only to feed him... but also to "feed" and "fill" him...
