Chapter 431 Xiaoqiu Joins the Army
On the train, Shen Qiu was planning how the army should decorate their new home. Jiang Ziqiang agreed to everything she said, "As long as you like, you can decorate it however you want."
"My eldest sister said that we can adopt dogs from the military dog base. Let's adopt a dog when the time comes. I also want to have a dog."
"Okay, we'll go take a look then."
Not all dogs at the military dog base are qualified to be military dogs. Some puppies do not meet the requirements when they are born, so the troops will send them away and choose a suitable owner for them.
If the family members of the troops want to adopt a pet, they can come and choose a suitable one.
When White Radish heard that Shen Qiu was going to adopt a dog, he was happier than Shen Qiu himself.
Shen Qiu stroked its head, "With one more dog at home, Bai Luobo will have a companion."
Shen Shuyu smiled, "Xiaoqiu, do you want to get a dog for yourself, or do you want to find a companion for Bai Luobo?"
"Both. I want to keep a dog myself, and white radish will give me a companion."
Shen Shuyu felt a little uncomfortable lying down and wanted to get up and walk around. Bai Luobo couldn't stay still either and wanted to walk around with Shen Shuyu. Shen Shuyu simply took Bai Luobo's hand and walked together.
On the train, Shen Shuyu covered the mouth of White Radish. It ate well and grew quite big. Some people were afraid of dogs, so Shen Shuyu simply covered the mouth of White Radish.
The carriages they were in were all sleeper carriages, and Shen Shuyu only walked back and forth in her own carriage. The sleeper carriage was quiet and not crowded, so Shen Shuyu walked around freely without feeling crowded.
If she went to another carriage, she would not be able to move. Shen Shuyu was too lazy to go and just walked back and forth in her own carriage.
Shen Shuyu walked to the end of the carriage, and suddenly an old lady hugged her grandson and cried, "Xiaojie, what's wrong with you? Don't scare grandma."
The noise caused everyone in the carriage to stick their heads out to see what was going on. Shen Shuyu was standing right opposite them.
Shen Shuyu saw that the child's face had turned blue. The old lady was so anxious that she started crying. She held her grandson in her arms, feeling scared and helpless.
"Auntie, what happened to your grandson?"
"My little Jie just ate a piece of pork chop while working and this happened. I don't know what happened."
Shen Shuyu saw that the child looked like he couldn't breathe, so she took the child away from the old lady. Shen Shuyu took the child away too quickly, and the old lady didn't react. When she reacted, she saw that the girl was holding her grandson with both hands and hitting her grandson's abdomen continuously.
"What are you doing, girl? This is my grandson. He's already in so much pain, and you're still hurting him."
Shen Shuyu didn't have time to explain and continued to press the child's abdomen back and forth. After about seven or eight presses, the child spit out a piece of pork ribs, and Shen Shuyu put the child down.
When the old lady saw her grandson spit out the ribs, she understood what was going on. Her grandson was in so much pain because the ribs were stuck in his throat.
"Xiao Jie, how are you? How are you? Don't scare grandma."
Xiao Jie spat out the ribs, took a break, and was able to speak, but his voice was very low. "Grandma, I'm fine."
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay. If you were okay, how would I explain it to your parents?"
"The child's throat must be injured. It's best to take him to the hospital." Seeing that the child was fine, Shen Shuyu planned to lie back in his berth.
"Girl, thank you."
"You're welcome. It's just that the child got his food stuck in his throat. It's very dangerous. In serious cases, he could suffocate. I need to be more careful next time."
The old lady was frightened when she thought of her grandson's expression just now. If she hadn't met this girl, would her grandson...
“Girl, what’s your name? Leave me your address. You saved my grandson, and we have to thank you very much.
Come on, Xiaojie, thank this sister. She saved you and is your benefactor. We should be grateful and repay our kindness, don’t you know?”
"Thank you sister."
"Xiao Jie, be good, have a good rest and stop talking for now.
No need to thank me, ma'am." Shen Shuyu walked away holding the white radish.
The old lady knew that they were in the same carriage, but she didn't bother her and kept Shen Shuyu's appearance firmly in her mind.
"Xiao Jie, I really scared you just now. We won't eat spare ribs anymore."
Even as Shen Shuyu walked away, she could still hear the old lady chattering about her grandson.
Shen Qiu and the others heard some noise in the direction Shen Shuyu was walking in. Just as they put on their shoes and wanted to go and check it out, Shen Shuyu came back.
"Sister, did something happen just now?"
"A child choked, but he's fine now."
After taking the train for several days, they finally arrived at the station. They had a lot of stuff and a child, so Gu Jiandong got off the train and made a phone call. Soon a comrade drove over to pick them up.
It was a vehicle purchased by the army, and it was passing by here on the way back. Gu Jiandong made a phone call and they came over to pick it up.
"Captain Gu, Deputy Captain Jiang, my two sisters-in-law, please get in the car."
Shen Qiu was a little uncomfortable when being called sister-in-law for the first time. She had just gotten married and was not used to the fact that she was married.
After arriving at the family compound, everyone went home. Shen Shuyu and the others stayed at home for a few days. One of the windows was half open and there was a lot of dust. Gu Jiandong put his son down and started to wipe the dust with a rag.
Shen Shuyu felt that she was stinking, so the first thing she did was to get her clothes and go to the bathhouse to take a shower. She also went to the next door to call Shen Qiu, "Xiao Qiu, do you want to take a shower?"
Shen Qiu also felt that he was smelly, so he found some clothes and a towel and said, "Go, wait for me, big sister."
The two sisters went to the bathhouse to take a bath, wash their hair and scrub their bodies. They stayed there for two hours before coming back.
After Shen Shuyu came back, Gu Jiandong said he wanted to go next door to see if Jiang Ziqiang needed any help.
"Go ahead, Xiaoze, I'll watch over you at home."
That place probably needs to be cleaned and swept as it is full of dust. So Shen Shuyu decided not to take her son there for the time being. She put the things she brought at home in order and packed some food for Xiaoqiu.
"Sister, I'll come, you sit down."
Just as Shen Shuyu was about to put things back in place, Shen Qiu's voice came from behind him.
"You came just in time. Take a look around the house and see if there's anything you can use. Go ahead and use it."
Shen Shuyu likes to buy two copies of everything she buys. She has stockpiled a lot of daily necessities at home, which are all placed in the cupboard.
Shen Qiu didn't bother to be polite with her sister. Jiang Ziqiang, a grown man, said that everything was ready. After all, he was a grown man. They just wanted a place to sleep and were not picky about anything. Once the furniture was bought, they felt that everything was ready.
When Shen Qiu entered the house, he saw that there was really nothing missing. There were no pots, pans, chopsticks, or anything like that. There was no coal stove, and there was not even a piece of cloth covering the windows. If someone else was outside, they could see at a glance what was in the house and what the people inside were doing.
There are no pillows either.
"Big sister, you still have cotton, right? Give me two kilograms. I'll take this gray cloth first and use it to cover the curtains."
She didn't bring the pillow from home, so she made a pillow out of cotton first. After a while, when the pillows from home were sent to her, she would use the cotton to make cotton-padded clothes.
"There are a lot of things at home. If you need anything, just take it. Don't be polite to me."
