Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

There are not many military family members on the island, and four rows of family homes have been built in front and behind. The set Xiao Xiangdong decided on was the new bungalow in the two newly built rows, and that was the only one left. The white walls and red tiles look much more elegant than those old houses with peeling walls. That's why Ma Qianjin's mother clamored for it.

Meng Xiaoman didn't care if it was a new house, she just wanted to find a cleaner place to live. The new house is nice, but there are other people living in front, on the left and right, and dealing with so many neighbors is tiring just thinking about it.

In the end, Meng Xiaoman chose the old house in the west of the last row. The family courtyard here is built against the mountain. The foundation at the back is much higher than the one in front. Although it is in the last row, the view is excellent. Standing in the bungalow From the top, you can see the sunset over the sea. Not far behind is a small mountain forest. It is also close to the private land allocated to the family.

"It's okay here, too. Later I'll find someone to paint the walls, paint the doors again, and tidy up the weeds in the yard. As for the furniture in the house, the logistics department has it. If there's anything missing, just tell me. , I will find people in the village to fight."

The new house was temporarily uninhabitable, so Meng Xiaoman and Xiao Xiangdong had to live in the military guest house for a few days.

On the same day, Xiao Xiangdong went to the logistics department to find lime and wood paint, and took several gables and doors to paint them. Weeds were also pulled out in the yard, and the sanitation inside and outside the house was also cleaned.

The next day, Xiao Xiangdong had something to do with the team and had to go to training. So they asked Sister Shi Cuimei, the wife of the group leader Zhang Dechang, to familiarize Meng Xiaoman with the place.

Xiao Xiangdong was good-looking and capable. Shi Cuimei had previously planned to introduce his niece to him, but Xiao Xiangdong refused. After Xiao Xiangdong recovered from his injury, she was a little lucky that the marriage did not happen. Unexpectedly, after going round and round, he came back again, and was taken more seriously than before.

When she heard that he had married a country girl, she felt pity. She thought she was a vulgar and ordinary country girl, but she didn't expect that she was such a good-looking and educated educated youth.

Shi Cuimei looked at Meng Xiaoman several times and sighed in her heart, they are really talented and beautiful. With her figure and appearance, she was much better than her niece.

"Xiao Meng, right? Just call me Sister Shi. Xiao Xiangdong entrusted you to me and asked me to help you get familiar with our station."

In addition to the garrison on the island, there are also islanders, but most of them live on the other side and make a living by fishing. Every weekend, there is a small market on the island, where you can basically buy your daily vegetables, fruits, seafood, etc. In addition, there is a supply and marketing cooperative where you can buy daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots, pans, and spoons.

"You basically don't need to buy food. The army distributes rations. If you don't have enough food, go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it." Streimei said, "After you finish cleaning up your house, let Xiao Xiangdong get it."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Shi. By the way, where can I buy farm tools and vegetable seeds? I want to plant the three-thirds of my allocated land."

Meng Xiaoman looked at the white and tender seeds, but Shi Cuimei didn't expect that she would still farm. "You can ask the blacksmith on the island to make farm tools. The seeds are sold in the market. Just ask the vegetable seller."

Streimei also introduced her to the canteen, hospital, and bathhouse in the general area. "Even though we are remote and crude here, we have everything we should have. Basic life is not a problem."

The call for a military exercise came, and Meng Xiaoman glanced not far away. Seeing it, Shi Cuimei explained: "That's the military training area over there. We usually can't go there if we have nothing to do."

"Yeah, I understand." Meng Xiaoman saw her looking at her watch, as if she had something to do, "Sister Shi, I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. You go ahead and do your work first. Thank you for today."

"You're welcome, we are all a family. If you have any questions, just ask me. I have to go to work, so I'll leave first."

After Shi Cuimei left, Meng Xiaoman took the cloth bag and went to the supply and marketing cooperative first, bought several sets of bowls, chopsticks, pots and dishes, and bought all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

There is an earthen stove in the kitchen, and you can cook when you bring in the food.

The supply and marketing cooperative was a bit far from home. It took 20 to 30 minutes to walk. Meng Xiaoman carried her things home. She was sweating all over and wanted to get a basin of water to wash herself. However, she found that there was no well in the yard and no faucet.

I had no choice but to scoop a basin of water from the water urn in the space and wash my hands and face. The water in the drought space was of little use before, and Meng Xiaoman kept it there.

After washing, Meng Xiaoman went to knock on the door of the house next door, intending to ask where to get water.

A six or seven-year-old girl came over and opened the door, "Who are you looking for?".

"Are your adults at home?"

"Who is it?" After a while, a woman with a big belly came over.

Her bulging belly was a bit scary. Seeing her walking up to her and holding on to the door frame, Meng Xiaoman felt relieved and said, "Hello, I'm the new guy next door. My name is Meng Xiaoman. I want to ask if I can use water." If so, where can we get water?"

The woman looked at Meng Xiaoman up and down and raised her eyebrows, "Are you Commander Xiao's wife?"

"Yes you are?"

"My name is Xu Qinglian, and I am the wife of Qi Chengzhi, the instructor of the second battalion. If you want to fetch water, just go to the east end of this row of houses. There is a tap water room there." The woman asked the little girl to take her there.

"No need to bother, I can go by myself." Meng Xiaoman refused.

After fetching water and scrubbing the house again, it was noon. Just when I was thinking about making something to eat, Xiao Xiangdong came to deliver the food.

"This is from the cafeteria, you eat quickly. I'll take care of it."

"have you eaten?"

"I have eaten. I ate with the team." Xiao Xiangdong washed the rag in the water and wiped the window. "The package has arrived. In the afternoon, I asked Xiao Peng to deliver it, as well as the furniture. The logistics department has also arranged it. We will move it in together later. There is something else in the team, so I won't come over in the afternoon. If anything happens, you and Xiao Peng said."

After Meng Xiaoman finished eating, Xiao Xiangdong took the lunch box, washed it and put it in his pocket, "In the evening, I will bring you dinner. When I come back, I will get the food. Tomorrow, we can cook at home ”

Xiao Xiangdong took two steps, then thought of something and came back, "By the way, here are the candies we bought. Decorate them for me. Those kids in the team are clamoring for wedding candies."

Meng Xiaoman took a bag and filled most of it for him, "Is it enough? Why don't you take them all and I'll buy them later."

"That's enough, just taste it. No matter how much you eat, it won't be enough for those little wolf cubs."

In the afternoon, furniture and mail items were delivered one after another, and Meng Xiaoman began to organize them.
