Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

The lieutenant scratched the back of his head. "Brother Liu, I do understand a little, but what does this have to do with you calling someone 'leader'?"

"You still have a lot to learn, kid. You'll understand eventually. Let me tell you, as far as I know, there are eight unoccupied households in those two buildings, 3 and 4."

Of all the others who checked in, the lowest rank was major. You're telling me, a mere junior officer, what am I supposed to do, calling someone a commander?

The lieutenant chuckled a few times. "Oh, I see, Brother Liu. I understand now."

"Okay, I understand. Also, the people living in these two buildings are quite strange. They don't go home often, and when they do, they rarely go out."

Moreover, most of the residents were men, and they either looked very healthy or looked unwell. The only thing they had in common was that they all looked very ordinary; the one I just saw was the exception.

"Conspicuous?" The lieutenant looked at the captain with a puzzled expression. "Brother Liu, what's so conspicuous about him? I think he looks pretty normal. Apart from being a bit masculine and handsome, and having a slightly darker complexion, he looks quite ordinary."

"You're so stupid," the captain said, tapping the lieutenant on the shoulder. "That's why I told you to study more. How old are you?"

"23 years old," the lieutenant looked at Captain Liu with confusion. "Brother Liu, what does that have to do with my age?"

"That guy is 25 years old, a major, and his wife is also 25 years old, a major. Tell me, what's so ordinary about them?"

The lieutenant looked a little dazed. "Um, Brother Liu, I meant his demeanor was ordinary. The man's aura was very ordinary. As for other aspects, never mind what I said."

"Haha," the captain shook his head helplessly and patted the lieutenant on the shoulder. "What's wrong, kid? Feeling hopeless? That's normal. Don't be discouraged. Sometimes the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs."

To say nothing of the distant past, the role models publicized nationwide and throughout the military last year were all so outstanding that it was almost disheartening: Yang Liwei, the space hero of Shenzhou 5, and Sun Qiang, the world champion of the International Reconnaissance Competition.

Zuo Li, a young scientific research role model of the Second Artillery Corps, and Chen Wei, a young technical officer in our institute, led the development of interferon protective spray during the SARS period. They were sent to Xiaotangshan Hospital, and tens of thousands of medical staff used it with zero infections.

"Look at all these guys, aren't they intimidating? But you'll get used to it. Just focus on doing your job well. Look at me, I'm 26 years old and only a captain. So keep your spirits up and do your job well."

"Yes, Brother Liu, I will definitely do my best."

……

Zhang Anbang and Gu Xiaonan were unaware of the whispers between the two officers and headed towards the barracks section as directed.

The officer in charge of the barracks wasn't working at his desk, and no one was coming to handle any business. He was leisurely drinking tea when he saw Zhang Anbang and his companion enter. He greeted them with a smile, "Hello, comrades, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, comrade, this is for processing the family member's permanent residence registration certificate. These are the original and a copy of the marriage certificate, the original and a copy of the officer's certificate, and the cadre's marriage change registration notice issued by the political department."

Please also check this original and a copy of the long-term residency certificate issued to another organization.

Upon hearing this, the officer knew that the proof of residence indicated it was definitely not an ordinary building; it was either one of the old buildings or building 3 or 4 in the new building.

The officer took the documents, gestured to the chair next to him, and said, "Okay, comrades, please take a short break while I check the documents."

The duty officer checked the documents one by one, and after confirming that the documents were correct, he directly took out the housing ledger of the General Staff Family Compound, found Zhang Anbang's housing reform information, and then entered Gu Xiaonan's information.

Five minutes later, the officer looked up and said, "Hello comrade, the information is confirmed to be correct. The family member registration has been completed, and Comrade Gu's information has been entered into the list of permanent family members in the compound."

"Just take this family member's permanent residence registration certificate to the gate of the compound and register."

"Okay, comrade, you've worked hard. Here, have some candy."

Zhang Anbang followed suit, taking the certificate and simultaneously handing over a handful of candy.

……

"Comrade Zhang, tell me honestly, how much candy did you bring? Just now at the marriage registration office, you told me that you didn't have much candy left. Tell me the truth, were you just looking for an excuse to kiss me then?"

"Hehe, you're so smart, honey. But I didn't make up an excuse, because I only brought that one piece of chocolate."

As they talked, the two returned to the compound. They still had to go to the west gate because that was the main post that managed their two buildings. If they submitted materials from the east gate, they could only transfer them to the west gate, so it was faster to go directly there themselves.

After all, the handover can only be done after the job change.

Five minutes later, the first-term sergeant looked at the two returning and saluted, saying, "Sir, you're quick on the uptake. All the formalities are done."

Zhang Anbang immediately returned the greeting, "We have to hurry, this compound is too strict. My wife has to register visitors every day even when she goes back to her own home. This won't do. Come on, squad leader, here's all the information, take a look."

Zhang Anbang handed over their marriage certificate, both of their military officer IDs, and a certificate of permanent residence registration for family members issued by the barracks office.

The first-term sergeant checked the official seal on the document, confirmed it was correct, and directly opened the thick leather-covered register of family members' permanent residence.

After neatly handwriting all of Gu Xiaonan's information was added, it was noted that she was the spouse of Zhang Anbang, a permanent family member of unit 902, building 3.

"Alright, sir, registration complete. Your information has been entered into the family whitelist. Keep your documents safe. From now on, your sister-in-law can enter and leave the compound freely by simply showing her military officer's ID. She won't need to leave her documents as collateral anymore. She'll be waiting for someone to pick her up."

"Okay, class monitor, thank you for your help. Here, have some candy."

After handing out the candy, Zhang Anbang took Gu Xiaonan's hand and said, "Let's go, wife, let's go home. Now it's all settled. We don't have to be so strict about the time anymore. You can come home to our home whenever you want."

Gu Xiaonan smiled and nodded, "Okay, honey, let's go home."

"Oh my," he said. After being together for so long, he had always been called Comrade Xiao Zhang, Anbang, Zhang Anbang. He had never heard that word before. It seemed that having a shared home made all the difference.

Zhang Anbang laughed heartily, "Alright, wife, let's go, let's go, let's go to the grocery store to buy groceries. Today, your husband will show you his skills."

"Comrade Zhang, we look forward to your performance."

……

The happy couple held hands and chatted as they turned into the military service center in the courtyard, where various fresh vegetables and fatty and lean pork belly were displayed on the shelves.

The two of them quickly picked out five or six kinds of vegetables and bought some meat, then carried the plastic bags and walked home side by side.
