Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

"Alright, alright," Yuan Lang said with a pout, "This is my house, you two should tone it down. Don't flirt like this in front of us, it's so sickeningly sweet. We haven't even had a few bites of meat yet, and we're already full."

Zhang Anbang raised an eyebrow. "It's better if you're full. I'll eat the rest, and if you can't finish it, I'll pack it up."

"Hey, this is my house, not a restaurant. You can't just pack up what you can't finish."

……

The meal lasted for more than two hours, with the four of them chatting and laughing.

After dinner, Yuan Lang's wife pulled Gu Xiaonan to sit on the sofa to rest. "Sigh, a house is only lively when there are many people. There's so much meat and vegetables. If I had to eat it all by myself, I wouldn't be able to finish it in a week."

As a result, the four of us finished the meal in one sitting, and it was quite a lively meal.

Gu Xiaonan also sighed and nodded gently, saying, "It's definitely more lively with more people. That's the good thing about our compound. Neighbors and comrades get together for a meal, chatting and laughing, which warms our hearts."

After Anbang and I have our wedding, please come to our house for a visit. I'll cook some dishes from my hometown for you to try.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Lang's wife smiled and patted the back of her hand, "Okay, then I'll be waiting."

The two wives went to chat and rest, while Yuan Lang began to clear the dishes from the table. Looking at Zhang Anbang, who was slumped in a chair, he said, "Hey, you're all sprawled out like a lump of mud. What happened to your lifestyle and your appearance?"

Zhang Anbang didn't get up, but lazily replied, "Isn't this what I learned from you? Besides, this is home. Do you think the police can just barge in and check me up?"

Yuan Lang nodded thoughtfully, "Haha, what you said makes sense. It seems you really learned it from me. Before you came to my place, you were always so proper, even when you were resting."

But this is more comfortable, isn't it? Why be so tense when you're resting? And don't just lie there, get up and lend a hand. The kitchen is this way.

"Alright, I've been waiting for you to invite me, here I come."

As he spoke, Zhang Anbang got up, picked up the hot pot from the table, and walked towards the kitchen. The layout of Yuan Lang's house was no different from that of Zhang Anbang's house. It was a typical two-sided house, and even the hard furnishings were the same.

This was all Wang Erge's doing; even if Yuan Lang wasn't leading the way, he could still find all the places.

When Zhang Anbang entered the kitchen, Yuan Lang had already filled a large plastic basin halfway with water and was squeezing dish soap into it.

Zhang Anbang pointed to the large basin and couldn't help but say, "Hey, what's with this preference of yours? It's one thing to use a small yellow basin in the army, but why get the same color one at home?"

While stirring the dish soap in the water, Yuan Lang turned and glared at Zhang Anbang. "Mind your own business. I'm happy to. Don't you find it endearing?"

"Whatever makes you happy."

"Okay, let's get started. I'll wash the dishes, and you wash the plates."

The two worked together quickly, and in just a few minutes they finished washing the dishes that had piled up to half a basin. Yuan Lang put all the dishes back into the sink to rinse them and then put them on the drain rack.

Zhang Anbang casually packed up the hot pot waste gathered on the table and threw it into the trash can. Then he picked up a rag, wet it, and wiped the table clean.

In the kitchen, Yuan Lang closed the sliding door, opened the window, lit a cigarette, and chatted quietly. "Anbang, you two will be officially married tomorrow after you get your marriage certificate, although the wedding will have to wait a while."

But you need to be careful, kid. Although I haven't had much contact with Xiaonan, I can tell that she's a good girl who is decisive, reasonable, knows her place, and has a broad perspective.

However, no matter how independent the girl is, it doesn't mean she doesn't need your care. You need to pay more attention to her. No matter how busy or tired you are with training, make a phone call and keep in touch whenever you have free time.

When you're resting and at home, take the initiative to tidy up the house and be more considerate. When two people live together, they need to be more understanding of each other.

It's not easy being a soldier, and it's not easy being a military wife either. Even if your wife is also a soldier, she's still a woman, and you, as a man, still need to be more considerate.

Zhang Anbang flicked his cigarette ash, his expression solemn. "Brother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm sensible and will consider her feelings. I won't let her suffer. I'm not one to sit idle; I'll definitely be able to handle the housework." Yuan Lang looked at his serious expression, a slight smile playing on his lips. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder. "It's good that you know what you're doing. After you're married, settling down and living a stable life is more important than anything else."

With the rear base stable, you can devote more energy to your work, perform better and better, and your superiors can have more confidence in you.

……

Zhang Anbang and his companion stayed at Yuan Lang's house until 3:30 p.m. before returning home.

"Comrade Zhang, you're acting a bit different today, a bit out of character."

"Honey, I'm so excited! I'm getting excited just thinking about getting our marriage certificate tomorrow."

"Alright, you're quite amusing like this. Let's get ready, change our clothes, and head to Uncle Wang's house. Let's get there a little early so we can help out. We can't just sit around and wait to be served; that's impolite."

"Okay, honey, I'll do as you say. Go take a shower, and I'll put the clothes I took off in the washing machine. They'll be dry by tomorrow. Once we're done, we'll leave."

Although the two are not married yet, Gu Xiaonan has already put some of her clothes here, and she has also arranged a lot of the soft furnishings in the house during her previous rest period.

"Okay, I'll go to the master bathroom to shower. You should go and shower too. Hurry up, we need to get ready and leave immediately. We also need to buy some things to take with us, we can't come empty-handed."

"Okay, wife, you're so thoughtful. I'll listen to you," Zhang Anbang said, his eyes darting around. "Wife, let's shower together. It'll save water, and we can scrub each other's backs."

Gu Xiaonan's face immediately turned red. "You big dummy! What do you think you're doing in broad daylight? You can wash in the bathroom outside. Don't come in, or my 'Enemy-Capturing Fist' won't be a joke."

As she spoke, she even gestured with her fist.

Zhang Anbang scratched the back of his head. "Hehe, I was just saying that, honey, don't take it seriously. Go wash up, just leave the clothes outside."

"That's more like it," Gu Xiaonan snorted, turned and walked towards the master bedroom. With a click, the door closed, and her voice came again, "When I say you can come in later, go and take your clothes to wash."

Also, please leave my underwear aside and don't put it in the washing machine. I'll hand wash it myself later.

……

Half an hour later, the two, having finished packing, set off again.

As they approached the 702nd Regiment's residential compound, Gu Xiaonan said, "Comrade Xiao Zhang, stop the car, I'm going to buy some fruit."
