Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Arriving at the Compound

Fu Minghua and Fu Xiaocui were once again thrown out. This time, they couldn’t even get close to the main gate. Fu Minghua stood there with a sullen face, staring at the military gate for a long time before he reluctantly turned and left.

"Dad, are we going home?" Fu Xiaocui asked cautiously.

"How could you mess up such a small task? Talking bad about your sister in front of the leader, that’s just stupid." Fu Minghua vented his anger on Fu Xiaocui.

None of the cleverness she showed at home was seen here. In front of Liu Hongjun, she talked badly about Fu Xiaoxiao, and even when he tried to make her shut up, she continued blabbering.

"Wasn’t it you who said..." Fu Xiaocui wanted to retort, but facing Fu Minghua’s fierce gaze, she immediately shut her mouth and lowered her head.

Fu Minghua maintained a cold expression, snorted coldly, turned around, and walked forward. Fu Xiaocui quickly followed behind, looking aggrieved, fearing that Fu Minghua might abandon her there.

The military arranged a house for Lu Feng in the military compound. As the truck slowly made its way into the compound, many people curiously observed their new neighbors.

"Who is it? Do you know?"

"No idea, haven’t heard anyone was coming."

"I heard a hint, it should be someone at the regiment level."

A few older ladies gathered to exchange information.

Fu Xiaoxiao sat in the car, looking at the red gate, feeling an indescribable pride in her heart.

The truck slowly came to a stop, and several soldiers who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to unload their luggage from the truck.

"Hello, Lu Tuan. I’m the officer responsible for receiving you, my name is Wang Zhijun." Wang Zhijun saluted Lu Feng and handed him the documents in his hand.

Lu Feng took a look at them and signed his name. "Hello, Comrade Wang Zhijun."

"This is the accommodation arranged by the military for you and your family. Let me know if you need anything." Wang Zhijun warmly introduced the compound to Lu Feng and Fu Xiaoxiao.

The compound was well-equipped, from canteens, bathhouses, and auditoriums to hospitals, kindergartens, elementary schools, and high schools; it had everything.

Fu Xiaoxiao glanced at Lu Lin and Lu Chen.

"Is it still possible to enroll now?" Fu Xiaoxiao asked with a light smile.

"Sister-in-law, it’s still possible. Lu Lin and Lu Chen, right? Lu Lin is seven, just right for the first grade of elementary school, and Lu Chen is five, he can enter kindergarten." Wang Zhijun noted it down in his small notebook.

"Thank you." Fu Xiaoxiao nodded.

"No need to be formal with me, sister-in-law. Just let me know if you need anything." Wang Zhijun replied with a smile.

"The facilities here are quite complete." Lu Feng exchanged a glance with Fu Xiaoxiao. It seems Liu Heng used to be arranged here, but now it benefits them instead.

"Yes, the compound is fully equipped, ensuring everyone’s life to the greatest extent." Wang Zhijun proudly stated.

The house arranged for Lu Feng was a single, standalone building. Fu Xiaoxiao led Lu Lin and Lu Chen inside. The house was roughly one hundred square meters, with the basic furniture already arranged; beds, tables, chairs, and benches were all there, facing south, ensuring good lighting.

"There are three rooms here. Where would you like to put the furniture you brought?" Wang Zhijun asked, looking at Fu Xiaoxiao for her opinion.

"The guest..."

"Please help me move it to the master bedroom." Fu Xiaoxiao had only said one word when Lu Feng took the initiative to instruct.

"Alright." Wang Zhijun glanced at Lu Feng; it seemed the regimental commander’s status was not optimistic.

Fu Xiaoxiao gave Lu Feng a side glance and snorted lightly. Lu Feng pleaded with his eyes.

When there are outsiders, give him some face.

"Why don’t you go explore on your own!" Fu Xiaoxiao released the two children, letting them explore, while she wandered around the house.

The house seemed to have been freshly renovated. The previous occupant must have liked planting vegetables. There was a small vegetable patch beside the yard, though its plants had long been untended and withered. Still, it was evident the house’s owner cherished this place.

Walking into the kitchen, there was a rural-style stove that seemed to have been unused for a long time. Beside it was another constructed platform with a gas tank underneath, but the burner plate on the stove was missing.

In the corner was a lump of coal, but the stove meant for coal was nowhere to be found either.

Fu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. This was interesting.

A big stove, but no firewood.

A gas tank with no burner plate.

Coal but no coal stove?

Are they trying to prevent her from cooking?

"Mom, can we and brother sleep on the second floor?" Lu Chen excitedly ran over and hugged Fu Xiaoxiao.

"Second floor?" Fu Xiaoxiao was taken aback. Following Lu Chen into the room, she noticed a staircase leading to the second floor, resembling an attic.

"Sister-in-law, this leads to the attic." Wang Zhijun came over to explain upon hearing the noise. "It’s usually used for storing miscellaneous items."

"Mom, we want to sleep on the second floor. Please let us sleep there!" Lu Chen was very fond of the attic, as if they had found a secret base.

"Aren’t you afraid of rolling over in your sleep and falling off?" Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled, noticing that the second floor didn’t even have a railing.

"No way." Lu Chen patted his chest, snuggling up to Fu Xiaoxiao and whining. "Mom~ dear mom, let us sleep there!"

Seeing Lu Chen twist himself like a pretzel, Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled and looked at Lu Lin. "Xiao Lin, what do you say?"

"Mom, please let us sleep up there, okay? I’ll watch over him and make sure he doesn’t fall." Lu Lin glanced at Fu Xiaoxiao, willingly taking on the responsibility.

He also liked that small space very much.

Standing on the second floor, they could see every place in the home clearly.

It was especially cool.

Lu Feng climbed up to the second floor, but at his height of 1.9 meters, he couldn’t even stand up straight.

Fu Xiaoxiao laughed, climbed up to take a look. The second floor was only about 1.5 meters tall, just right for Lu Lin and Lu Chen to stand inside.

"Lie down, let me see?" Fu Xiaoxiao signaled the kids to lie down.

The length was just right, about 1.6 meters.

"Looks like this place really suits you." Seeing how everything fit perfectly, and especially how much the kids loved it, Fu Xiaoxiao felt there was no reason to refuse.

"Thank you, Mom!" As soon as they got Fu Xiaoxiao’s approval, Lu Chen happily rolled around.

Lu Feng turned to Wang Zhijun. "Can we find a carpenter to build a railing for them?"

"And add a skylight to the roof for them!" Fu Xiaoxiao pondered. Wouldn’t this be the perfect place for stargazing?

"Of course, we can." Wang Zhijun jotted it down.

Surprised, he thought, never expected Lu Feng and Fu Xiaoxiao to pamper their kids this much. It’s rare for families to allow their children to sleep in a place like this and even install a skylight just for them.

"By the way, how do people cook here?" Fu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that the kitchen was missing everything. Being new here, she didn’t know what was used for cooking.

She decided to directly ask Wang Zhijun.

"Sister-in-law, we usually use gas stoves or stoves with gas cylinders." Wang Zhijun assumed Fu Xiaoxiao didn’t know how to use it. "If you’re not familiar, I can send someone over to teach you."
