When they were almost done talking, Yunyi said, "You have almost cleaned up the house, and there is nothing else to do now. Why don't we go out for a while and get the ingredients first, so that we can explain anything the day after tomorrow."

Huo Jingrui naturally thought of it. He originally wanted to go out alone in a while: "Okay, then I'll take you out to familiarize yourself with the situation here."

Huo Jingrui went out for a trip and borrowed a car from the group.

After leaving the family compound, the two headed for a nearby town: "The closest place to the family compound is Guanping Village in front. After Guanping Village, walk another six miles to Anping Town, where you can buy everything you need for daily life."

When passing Guanping Village, Huo Jingrui stopped the car and pointed it to her: "If you want to exchange some eggs and vegetables, you can come to Guanping Village. It only takes about ten minutes to walk from the family compound."

Soon the two arrived in town.

The town is not small. The supply and marketing cooperative, post office, credit union, government, and state-owned restaurant are all on one street.

After going around the supply and marketing cooperative, Yunyi bought some more candies. They were newly married, so they wanted to prepare some extra candies just in case.

The two of them were having a great time strolling around the town, but the family compound was in an uproar: "Have you heard that Deputy Colonel Huo has brought his family to accompany the army?"

"Really? You saw his wife. What does she look like?"

"She is so pretty, prettier than the girls in the art troupe."

"real or fake?"

"Why would I lie to you? When Captain Qiao was beating up Luo Xiaofang and her son today, I went over to watch the fun and happened to see them."

"No wonder so many people introduced someone to Deputy Captain Huo, but he refused. I'm afraid he already has someone he likes."

"See, Feng Ruyan will be furious."

"Don't dare to say that. Deputy Colonel Huo is married. Besides, he never paid any attention to her. What does her madness have to do with him? You should be more careful."

"I just said it casually."

"You know that the mouth can cause trouble, don't you? What's more, if these words were to reach the ears of Deputy Colonel Huo's wife, have you thought about the consequences?"

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong, and I won't say it again."

At this time, someone changed the subject and said, "I saw Deputy Commander Huo tidying up the assigned house before. He even asked someone to buy floor tiles and bring them back. It seems that Deputy Commander Huo attaches great importance to his wife."

"Yes, yes, yes, I've heard that too. Actually, I don't see what's so good about laying floor tiles. If they get a little dirty, they'll have to be cleaned up. I think cement floors are better. They're easier to clean up."

Not far from these gossipers stood two women: "Liang Xue, I heard from my family that Deputy Captain Huo's lover also has a high school degree, and the school is only short of a substitute teacher. You'd better hurry up and don't miss the opportunity."

When the woman named Liang Xue heard this, alarm bells went off in her heart: "Is this news reliable?"

"Which one are you talking about, Deputy Captain Huo's lover or the substitute teacher quota at the school?"

"Quota?"

"Of course I'm sure. I heard from my colleagues at the canning factory that something happened to the teacher at home and they wanted to find someone to substitute for her."

"I see."

The two of them glanced at the gossiping crowd over there and left together.

Yunyi didn't know that she was just walking around the town and something bad happened.

When the two came back from the town, the car was full of various kinds of meat taken out of the space, as well as potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and white radishes bought from their fellow villagers.

There was limited space in Yunyi's space, and the vegetables they grew were barely enough for their own consumption. Besides, the vegetables tasted so good that she didn't dare to cook them for outsiders. After all, one must be on guard against others. In order to avoid trouble, Huo Jingrui bought a few new sacks to hold the ingredients, so that no one could see clearly what was inside.

As expected, as soon as they came back, someone came up to them and said, "Deputy Captain Huo, is this your lover?"

Huo Jingrui pulled Yunyi over and said, "Yes, this is my wife Chu Yunyi. Please take care of her in the future, sisters-in-law."

Yunyi smiled and nodded at the military wives: "Hello, sisters-in-law."

Several military wives smiled and responded, "If you have any questions, just tell me. I can't help you with anything else, but I still have some strength."

After a few pleasantries, Huo Jingrui said to Yunyi: "Yier, go open the gate. I'll move the things downstairs."

Yunyi greeted her sisters-in-law, took out the key and went to open the door. Huo Jingrui just opened the trunk and started to move things down.

A sister-in-law asked, "What are you doing?"

As Huo Jingrui was moving things into the yard, he replied, "I was thinking of inviting guests in a few days, so I went to the fellow villagers to exchange some winter vegetables for them."

When the sisters-in-law heard that it was vegetables for winter storage, they also reached out to help.

Huo Jingrui quickly stopped them: "Sisters-in-law, it's so cold, you don't have to get involved, I will finish moving it soon."

When they saw that there were sacks inside, they backed out and went into the yard under the pretext of talking to Yunyi.

When they saw that even the kitchen floor was paved with tiles, some were envious, some were jealous, and some even said that they were too wasteful.

The couple's hearing was very good, and they heard everything the couple said clearly. Yunyi smiled and said, "Sisters-in-law, we haven't turned on the stove yet, and there is no hot water in the house. I'm really sorry for not welcoming you well."

Those people knew that they were still busy: "You guys go do your thing, we should go back too."

Jing Rui moved several sacks directly into the kitchen and prepared to go out to return the car.

Those sisters-in-law were quite sensible. Seeing Huo Jingrui was about to leave, they quickly found an excuse to leave together.

After sending the person away, Yun closed the door and entered the space.

I plan to cook some more hard dishes and store them in the space so that I can use them as needed the day after tomorrow. I chopped a large pot of ribs and prepared to stew them later.

Afterwards, he went to the pond and caught six fish weighing about two kilograms and kept them ready, preparing to let Huo Jingrui come in and deal with them later.

She had almost prepared the ingredients and calculated that Huo Jingrui should be back by then, so she left the space.

It was really a telepathic connection. As soon as Yunyi left the yard, there was a knock on the door: "Yier, I'm back."

The two were about to return to the courtyard when they heard someone outside shouting, "Deputy Captain Huo, wait a moment."

When Huo Jingrui heard the voice, he frowned slightly and turned to look at the person who came: "What's the matter?"

The man glanced at Yunyi beside Huo Jingrui and asked a little embarrassedly: "Can I have a word with you?"

Huo Jingrui didn't like Qiao Yuxi very much, but he still gave him the minimum respect and pointed to a big tree not far ahead: "Go over there."

After saying that, he looked at Yunyi and said, "You go into the house first, I'll be back soon."

Yunyi nodded to Captain Qiao and turned to go into the house.

Huo Jingrui saw Yunyi go in, and then walked to the tree not far away. In fact, he had already guessed what was going on: "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" (End of this chapter)
