A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

Qin Yuanzheng led Qiao Lanshu out of the house: "There's a department store nearby. Let's go check it out tomorrow and buy some daily necessities."

Since we're getting married, we definitely need to prepare some nice things.

Qin Yuanzheng served in the army for more than ten years. Apart from sending a portion of his earnings home, he saved most of them himself.

He used to think money was useless, since the army provided food and lodging.

But now that he has a wife, he feels that everything in the house is missing, and he has to buy everything.

He wanted to buy everything he saw for Qiao Lanshu, always feeling that he could never pamper her enough.

Qiao Lanshu came out of the house and asked, "Aren't you going to work at the military base?"

Qin Yuanzheng nodded: "I took a week's wedding leave, but it hasn't been approved yet. I have to go there today. Why don't you go back to your military dormitory first?"

There was nothing in the house, and his things hadn't been moved in yet.

However, Company Commander Yang has already delivered Qiao Lanshu's things here.

Qiao Lanshu said, "No need. We just need to clean up a bit here, so I'll stay and tidy up a bit. After you get off work tonight, go and move your things over. We'll stay here tonight, okay?"

Qin Yuanzheng looked at Qiao Lanshu's rosy little face and his heart stirred.

They've already registered their marriage; they're legally married now. So tonight...

He reached out and ruffled Qiao Lanshu's hair, saying softly, "Okay, you just need to tidy up a bit. I'll do the rest when I get back. I'll be back as soon as possible."

Qiao Lanshu stood at the door and nodded shyly.

Qin Yuanzheng kept turning back to her, saying, "Wait for me to come back."

Qiao Lanshu waved his hand: "Okay."

After Qin Yuanzheng left, Qiao Lanshu went home to clean. The house was fairly clean, since it was a newly built house and no one had lived there before.

The house is new, but it's a bit dusty.

She took out a towel from her luggage, which she had brought from her hometown, and used it as a rag.

They wiped down all the tables, chairs, benches, windowsills, and other surfaces, inside and out.

The water was too cold, and her little hands turned red from the cold.

After wiping the inside of the house, she wiped the front door again.

Just then, the neighbor next door returned at some point. Hearing the noise, the neighbor opened the door and a young woman with two braids appeared.

The woman was slightly plump and wore a bright red padded jacket. When she saw Qiao Lanshu, she smiled and asked, "Oh, you must be Commander Qin's family member?"

Qiao Lanshu, holding the rag, nodded: "Hello, my name is Qiao Lanshu, I'm Commander Qin's..."

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Family member."

The neighbor smiled and said, "Oh, it's Comrade Xiao Qiao! My name is Huang Erling, I'm the battalion commander of the Second Independent Battalion of the South Suburb Forest Farm, and a relative of Zhao Jiannong. Speaking of which, my Jiannong used to fight under Commander Qin. I heard him mention yesterday that he'll be living next to Commander Qin, and he asked me to take care of you, saying you're from the south?"

Battalion Commander of the Independent Second Battalion of the South Suburb Forest Farm—isn't that a title Sun Mingyong used to deceive her?

Unexpectedly, she is now neighbors with Battalion Commander Zhao. What a coincidence!

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "My hometown is Guangzhou."

Huang Erling exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, young lady, you've come all this way! It really is fate that brings us together from afar!"

Qiao Lanshu also felt that perhaps she and Qin Yuanzheng were destined to be together.

Blessings from both past and present lives!

Huang Erling came out and said, "Are you cleaning the house? Do you need any help? I have a mop and a broom, I'll come and mop the floor for you."

Qiao Lanshu didn't have a mop, so she quickly said, "Lend me your mop, I can mop the floor myself."

Huang Erling came over with a mop and a mop bucket to help her mop the floor. She said, "Oh dear, I think you're not very good at housework. Let me help you mop. The kids have all gone to school, and I don't have a job, so I'm just sitting here doing nothing."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Lanshu couldn't help but ask, "Do military dependents get jobs arranged?"

The house wasn't big, and Huang Erling worked quickly, so she finished mopping the living room in no time. When Qiao Lanshu tried to take the mop, she wouldn't let him.

While mopping the floor, Huang Erling said, "Oh, it's not that we can't arrange it, but we have to wait for an opportunity. Besides, my two daughters are in school, and I have to take care of them and cook for them, so I didn't try to get it."

As she spoke, she glanced at Qiao Lanshu, who was pretty and well-behaved with a refined demeanor. She asked, "How old are you?"

As Qiao Lanshu wiped the table, she said, "He's eighteen."

Huang Erling laughed and said, "I also got married at eighteen. My eldest daughter is already ten years old. Have you ever been to school?"

Qiao Lanshu: "I've read it. I also just graduated from high school and came to the army to find my husband."

Huang Erling said to her, "I heard that the propaganda department is setting up literacy classes for the soldiers and needs to recruit some teachers. Why don't you give it a try? I just don't know if there are any openings. Oh, and I heard that the food factory is recruiting temporary workers at the end of the year. You can ask them about that too."

Literacy classes are now popular, not only in the military, but also in various factories, departments and units.

Ordinary people can also attend literacy classes if they are willing.

The literacy teachers in the military were partly transferred from various schools and partly recruited from military family members.

Military family members can work in the propaganda department as teachers, but they receive no salary, only a meager subsidy, and no permanent position.

If I want to become a permanent employee, I'll probably have to wait for an opportunity.

Moreover, the requirements are high; a high school diploma is required to participate.

Temporary workers at the food factory, on the other hand, receive a fixed salary and have access to a canteen.

You can ask Qiao Lanshu.

Hearing Huang Erling say this, Qiao Lanshu thought to herself that after getting married, she would still need to find a job, otherwise staying at home every day would be quite boring.

In her past life, she worked at the Chengbei Food Factory; in this life, she can go and ask her.

After all, Qin Yuanzheng is infertile, so she doesn't need to take care of the child.

After Huang Erling finished mopping the floor for her, she took the mop and mop bucket back to the next room.

Qiao Lanshu was quite embarrassed. She took five or six walnut pastries that Qin Yuanzheng had bought for her, wrapped in oil paper, and brought them to the next room: "Sister Ling, thank you for your help. These walnut pastries are very fragrant. Please have a taste."

Huang Erling quickly pushed her hand away and said, "You don't need to be so polite. Your Qin Tuan used to take good care of my Jiannong, so I'm just returning the favor. We'll be neighbors from now on, so we should get along well and help each other."

Qiao Lanshu insisted on placing the walnut cookies on their table, saying to her, "Give them to the children. They're still young and growing."

Upon hearing this, Huang Erling took the walnut shortbread.

She looked at Qiao Lanshu, who was really beautiful and looked very young, only 18 years old. Her family was not here, which made her feel sorry for her.

Huang Erling asked her, "Want to go to the department store to buy something? It's not far from here, it has six floors, and it has everything. You haven't been there before, have you?"

As Huang Erling spoke, she added cryptically, "That Commander Qin is so tall and strong, I'm afraid your physique won't be able to handle him..."

As she spoke, she lowered her voice and said, "I'll go buy some nutritious food so you can nourish yourself when you get back. You really need to take good care of yourself from now on."

Otherwise, with Qiao Lanshu's frail body, she wouldn't be able to withstand Qin Yanwang's torment.
