Chapter 308: Selecting a House

Song Jingyu had long guessed Su Ruo's thoughts, so he was not at all surprised by her choice.

After Su Ruo and An'an had finished breakfast, they went to the reception office to pick up Li Zhaodi and the others, and then went together to look at houses.

Li Zhaodi and Bai Xinya heard that Su Ruo and the others were going to choose a house so quickly, and they also felt quite surprised, after all they had only arrived the day before; for Song Jingyu to marry Su Ruo, he was perhaps too eager.

But the two merely glanced at Song Jingyu with a teasing smile, saying nothing, after all Su Ruo had already agreed, so they naturally had no objections.

The Unit's logistics staff, hearing that Su Ruo actually wanted to choose a bungalow, were quite surprised, after all nowadays people prefer apartment buildings.

Earlier, Lu Zhan had specially instructed that if Song Jingyu came to choose a house, they should give him a well-located three-room unit.

Although doing so was somewhat against regulations, since Lu Zhan had personally given the order, they naturally would not object.

After all, everyone knows that given Lu Zhan's high regard for Song Jingyu, Song Jingyu will certainly continue to rise in the future.

Although Song Jingyu does not currently meet this housing standard, he will in two years; the chief wants to settle things in one step, not wanting Lu Regimental Commander to have the hassle of moving later, and they can also understand that.

So at this moment, the logistics staff, hearing Su Ruo's words, were quite surprised, not expecting that he had already arranged everything, and the other party actually went against convention.

Even so, the logistics staff glanced aside; seeing that Song Jingyu had no objections, they still said nothing, just smiled, picked up the keys, and took Su Ruo and the others to look at houses.

Because, as Lu Zhan had originally instructed, besides these main points, they still had to respect Su Ruo and Song Jingyu's own wishes and preferences.

The staff altogether took Su Ruo and the others to view three houses, one of which was the closest to this side of the Military Camp.

If they chose this side, it would be relatively close to Song Jingyu's training grounds, the canteen, and the hospital, making it more convenient for Su Ruo and him to get to work, but the downside is that it is relatively noisy, and the training sounds will be louder in the future.

Most people chose this side for convenience, but Su Ruo directly vetoed it.

Su Ruo likes quiet and dislikes noise, especially when sleeping; she cannot accept having to listen to training noises every noon and still try to sleep.

Seeing Su Ruo refuse so decisively, the staff wanted to persuade her a bit, after all the houses here, compared to those in other locations, are in high demand; this is the last one left, and if they missed it, there would be none.

But when he saw Song Jingyu gazing at Su Ruo with that indulgent look, completely appearing as if he would let his wife decide and had no opinion, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

After all, the house is for the young couple to live in; Song Jingyu has no objections, so why would he bother saying those things and inviting dislike?

Immediately afterwards, the logistics staff again took Su Ruo and the others to view the second house; this house is in a somewhat central location, not too noisy, and not too far from the hospital and training grounds.

When Su Ruo and the others went, there was an auntie sunbathing by the roadside, and several children were playing and frolicking on the path.

The layout and area of this set were exactly the same as the first; after Su Ruo looked at it, she felt nothing particular, and decided to look again before making a decision.

Thus, the logistics staff again took Su Ruo to view the third house, which was also the last one.

On the way there, the logistics staff had already decided that if Su Ruo still did not like this house, he would recommend that she look at apartment buildings, after all apartment buildings are clean and have good lighting.

Who would have known that as soon as Su Ruo pushed open the door, she fell in love at first sight; although the Courtyard had grown some weeds, looking somewhat desolate and messy, yet it was filled with blooming roses.

Some of these roses climbed along the walls to the outside; the blooming flowers hung thick on the branches, crimson and red, vying in beauty, and in the summer breeze they looked extremely beautiful.

In the Courtyard there is also an ancient plum tree that has probably been here for many years; when the Courtyard was originally built, they thought it would not be in the way, so they did not cut it down.

Most importantly, this Courtyard is located at the northernmost edge of the Military Camp; because the remaining area was insufficient to build another courtyard, it was all incorporated into this Courtyard, so the Courtyard's area is exactly half again larger than before.

Although this Courtyard looks somewhat desolate, Su Ruo still fell in love with it at first sight.

Especially now, when Su Ruo stood in the Courtyard and smelled the fragrance filling it, her heart was overjoyed.

Others might dislike it because they find it too desolate, but Su Ruo truly loves the quiet and lack of disturbance here.

Moreover, the Courtyard is spacious enough; they can build a pavilion and a swing set in it, and when summer comes, she can sit with Song Jingyu under the swing, drinking tea, chatting, and watching the stars—just imagining such a scene is wonderful.

They can also plant spring- and autumn-blooming flowers in the Courtyard; that way their Small Courtyard will have roses in summer, plum blossoms in winter, and with other flowers it can bloom year-round without fail.

Song Jingyu saw Su Ruo's liking, and thus said: "If you like it, we'll choose this place."

Song Jingyu has no requirements about where to live; as long as Su Ruo likes it, he can live anywhere.

After hearing this, Su Ruo nodded firmly; the logistics staff, seeing this, still wanted to persuade further, after all this place is indeed too remote, he feared that the two might regret it later, but seeing Song Jingyu's firm attitude, he finally held back.

After the house was chosen, the logistics staff handed over the keys and the registration form, letting Song Jingyu fill it out before leaving.

Next, Song Jingyu and they will tidy up the house, and then they can prepare for the wedding.

Originally everything went smoothly, but Song Jingyu never expected that he and Su Ruo would actually get stuck on the approval of the Marriage Report.
