1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 14 Gu Qingye is so rich? !

As soon as Lu Youyou got on the car, she was surrounded by gazes from all directions, some friendly, some just watching the fun. She really didn't have the energy, so she greeted them politely and didn't say anything else.

It was Li Sanhua who took the initiative and said, "This is Comrade Lu Youyou. She will also be living in the family compound from now on. Let's get along well and help each other!"

She didn't know the details of the case, but it was certain that Lu Youyou was innocently implicated.

Li Sanhua took the lead in applauding. She was a veteran in the staff quarters and always had prestige, so everyone followed suit and applauded to welcome her.

Lu Youyou’s current image is not very good.

The clam oil mixed with soot was still on her face, making her look dark and yellow. She hadn't changed her clothes. Although there was no peculiar smell, she looked like an ordinary woman who was exhausted from traveling. The most important thing was that she was not very good-looking.

Several military wives exchanged glances behind the scenes.

A: Captain Gu looks good, but his vision is not very good!

B: Apart from being young, how can you compare to my cousin from my mother's side?
C: Hey, if anyone knew that Captain Gu found someone like this, wouldn’t he be pissed to death?

Ding: Who said it wasn’t? Now it’s time to watch a good show!

The truck sped along for about an hour and stopped at a camp at the foot of a mountain.

The security here was very tight, and Lu Youyou had to run twice just to get off the car and register. Finally, the car stopped in front of a high wall, and we arrived at the family compound.

"Comrade Lu, Captain Gu has already applied for a house. You should go back and rest for a while. I will take you to the cafeteria during lunch."

Li Sanhua carefully introduced the layout of the family compound to Lu Youyou.

"The military's procurement vehicle goes out once a week. If you want to go to the city, just wait at the gate at the designated time. There's a military service center for daily necessities, just outside the east gate. I'll show you later..."

Li Sanhua explained the details in detail as she was asked to do so. When she passed by her house, she even went in and took out a package for Lu Youyou.

"This is the money and tickets Captain Gu left for you. He left in a hurry and his family didn't have time to pack. Just go and buy whatever you want."

Lu Youyou squeezed the thick envelope and gained a new appreciation for Gu Qingye's attentiveness.

It's okay, at least he's not an old man who just sits there with his hands up and doesn't care about anything. Otherwise, his life would be saved, but the quality of service cannot be guaranteed.

"Thank you so much, Sister Li. I was completely in the dark. It's all thanks to you!"

Li Sanhua smiled: "It's not thanks to me, it's thanks to your Captain Gu's meticulousness!"

She joked, "You don't know, before leaving, Captain Gu came to my house with a gift and told me to take good care of you. In all the years I've lived in the family compound, this is the first time I've seen someone so concerned about his wife!"

Even though Lu Youyou's face was covered in red like a tabby cat, it now showed a hint of red.

"Since he entrusted it to you, he must have wanted me to learn more from you. I'm new here and I'm grateful for your care!"

Gu Qingye is so sincere, she has to give something back.

Being able to entrust a large sum of money and his future wife to someone, it seems that Gu Qingye has a good relationship with the family of the battalion commander. Everyone wants to carry his sedan chair, so it doesn't take much to say a few nice words to him.

Gu Qingye applied for the innermost yard in the second row, which was only three houses away from Li Sanhua's house.

Li Sanhua pushed open the courtyard door and said, "I've cleaned it up a bit inside and out, and the basic furniture is in place, but it's not in order. How about I help you with it this afternoon after dinner?"

Lu Youyou quickly waved her hand: "Don't bother you, I just need to clean up the sleeping room first, and I can take care of the rest later, there's no rush."

Li Sanhua said enthusiastically, "Don't be shy. It's about helping neighbors. We all go through this together!"

"No, no, I don't have much stuff. I just need to pack it up. I can deal with the rest after Gu Qingye comes back." Li Sanhua covered her mouth and laughed, "Of course, your Captain Gu is very capable. He must be eager to have you at his disposal!"

What could Lu Youyou say? She could only lower her head shyly.

Gu Qingye is so damn shameless. Has she ever considered how thick-skinned she is when she is so high-profile?
Li Sanhua handed the key to Lu Youyou and tested the lights in the house. "The keys to the main door and the room are here. The family quarters have electricity. Here, the switch is here."

"By the way, the water tank outside is also full. You can use it directly." Li Sanhua pointed to the large water tank in the yard.

Lu Youyou widened her eyes. She really didn't expect Li Sanhua to be so thoughtful, and hurriedly thanked her.

Li Sanhua waved her hand: "If you have nothing else, I'll go back first and come see you at lunch."

After seeing Li Sanhua off, the first thing Lu Youyou did was to lie down on the wooden sofa for a while. She was really exhausted after tossing and turning for a whole day and night.

Although the sofa was very hard, she didn't want to move at all. She just turned her neck to observe the room.

There are three rooms in the front, the main room in the middle, a small room on each side, and a separate kitchen in the yard.

The room was quite clean, with a cement floor, white walls, tables, chairs and beds, but they were all bare. It was estimated that Gu Qingye had never lived there once.

Although the yard is not big, Lu Youyou is still satisfied with it, at least it has its own door and house.

His gaze turned back to the front and fell on the envelope.

Lu Youyou forced herself to stand up. The moment she stood up, her joints all cracked. She walked over to the table with a grin on her face, opened the envelope and saw -

There were a total of twenty Great Unity notes, a small stack of change, and quite a few different kinds of tickets, including industrial tickets, cloth tickets, grain tickets, sugar tickets... everything you could think of.

Gu Qingye is so rich? !

It was also because Lu Youyou didn't understand the army well. The lowest-level platoon leader in the front-line troops also got a minimum salary of 50 yuan, not to mention that Gu Qingye also received subsidies when he went on missions. With his level, he would get at least more than 100 yuan every month.

He left suddenly this time and didn't have time to withdraw the money in his passbook. He had to collect change and bills from his comrades, and borrow the money from his superiors.

Who would have thought that the cold and rude soldier king would marry a woman like this!

Not only the people in the family compound were curious about Lu Youyou, but Gu Qingye's comrades were even more curious.

Especially the team leader Jiang Tong, who gave money to Gu Qingye while feeling disappointed with him, but in the end he still earnestly told him to live a good life after getting married.

At noon, Li Sanhua arrived on time and saw Lu Youyou making the bed. She immediately took the sheets and helped.

It was summer now, and Lu Youyou was impatient to sleep on a thick mattress, so she used the old bedding from the Youth League Institute as a cushion.

"Sister, take a look at what you need at home and make a list first. I'll take you to the service center this afternoon and borrow a cart. You don't have to worry about buying too much."

Lu Youyou was bending over to stretch out the quilt when she heard this and said, "That's great. I just wanted to buy a bed mat, cups, a basin, and so on."

Li Sanhua listed all the mats she knew: "I want to buy some, but I'm here. Several nearby villages can make them. It's an old craft that's been passed down for many years. They're strong and durable. The army collects them regularly, which brings in more income for the village and makes things more convenient for us."

Li Sanhua knew that Lu Youyou was young and was afraid that she would find life here hard.

"We're a little out of the way here, but the logistics are pretty good. Aside from the men having to go on missions every few days, life is actually much more comfortable than back home!"

Lu Youyou stood up straight, and her eyes and eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting when she smiled.

"Yes, it's much more comfortable than home."
