Chapter 45: In a few more days, he will be a man with status

Lu Xiu Bai suddenly realized that his sister was not a harmless little white rabbit.

However, he didn't think that was bad.

On the contrary, he was happy that his sister had the power to protect herself.

"Brother, I'm going to the beach with Brother Jiang Ye to sea-forage. You rest well in the dorm and drink more water; it's good for your body."

Shen Man secretly added some ingredients to the water bottle on the table, hoping her brother would recover as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when Grandfather arrived on the island and saw his eldest grandson's disabled but strong-willed state, would he raise his crutch first, or would he feel heartache first?

Who told her stinky brother to spread rumors in front of Brother Jiang Ye that she was a little chubby girl who loved playing in the mud when she was little...

"Got it."

Lu Xiu Bai scratched his head. Fortunately, his sister only asked him to drink more water and didn't say he had to stay in the hospital...

Jiang Ye held his little girl's hand and went downstairs. He didn't rush to sea-forage; first, he had to pick out a house!

Once the house was settled, it was time to purchase the household items—bed sheets, quilts, pots, and pans.

The more he thought, the more active his mind became. His usually cold face was now incredibly soft.

If it weren't for Shen Man's reminder, this person would have walked straight into the tree trunk on the side of the road.

Shen Man pulled him back in time, stood on tiptoe, and reached out to wave in front of his distracted eyes—

"Brother Jiang Ye?"

The young girl's soft, sweet voice sounded like she was acting coquettishly, making one's heart feel like it had been scratched by a claw.

"Sorry, I was distracted."

Jiang Ye's pupils cleared up, feeling a bit embarrassed inside, but also filled with indescribable joy.

The two were very close, the faint scent of orchids was close at hand, and the ambiguity and the man's innate desire were intertwined at this moment.

Jiang Ye had only one thought in his mind: he really wanted to take the little girl to get the certificate immediately.

Only then could he legitimately kiss her...

Distracted?

A flash of doubt crossed Shen Man's eyes, and then she realized, silently pulling a distance of one foot away.

"Hurry up, hurry up and pick a house. I want to go to the beach to net small fish; Tangyuan likes to eat small fish~."

"Meow."

Tangyuan heard its name, poked its furry little head out of the bag, and blinked its big eyes, as if echoing what its master said.

That's right, it likes to eat small fish.

Sea fish are so fresh, want to eat.

Jiang Ye's gaze landed on the slightly flustered little girl and the cute cat, and he curled his lips...

No rush, take it step by step.

In a few more days, he will be a man with status.

The two interacted very sweetly, and anyone who had been through it would show a knowing smile.

And so, the clerk in charge of housing allocation at the Logistics Department saw Jiang Ye holding a beautiful little girl she hadn't seen before, and a knowing smile appeared on her face:

"Little Jiang, I've been waiting for you for so long. Is this your partner?"

Although she had been greeted by the leadership beforehand, she still had to ask to go through the process.

"Mm, yes, this is my partner, Shen Man.

Section Chief Liu, our marriage report has been approved. I'll take her to the marriage registration office outside the Sea Island on Monday to register.

I'm here now because I want to pick out a house in the family quarters in advance. Can you make it convenient for us?"

Jiang Ye nodded and admitted it generously.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he pulled his little girl to sit on a bench and talk.

"Of course. You kid, you came early, so you can still pick a house type.

I see that the matchmaking event organized by Political Commissar Ji this afternoon will definitely have many people finding partners.

When the time comes, military marriages will pile up, and once the collective wedding is held, the houses will be randomly assigned. Where would you still be able to..."

Section Chief Liu muttered while taking a stack of materials from the cabinet.

On it were the floor plans of the current family quarters on the military base, showing at a glance which houses were empty and which were occupied.

Jiang Ye took the materials, first picked out the independent small courtyards to show the little girl, and then flipped through a few pages of the apartment residents' situation to get an idea.

Section Chief Liu naturally poured tea and water for the two.

While being enthusiastic, she was also very professional—

"Little Jiang, and Little Shen, do you like lively or quiet?"

"I'm fine with either; I'll listen to my partner."

Jiang Ye bowed slightly, took the teacup with both hands, first handed it to his little girl, and then took his own.

"Big Sister Liu, I like quiet. I want to live in an independent small courtyard."

Shen Man's voice was soft and melodious, falling into Section Chief Liu's ears like pearls falling on a jade plate—crisp and pleasant, with high recognizability.

She couldn't help but think that if this voice went to the broadcasting station to read scripts, it would be really suitable.

"Little Shen, since you called me Sister, I won't hide it from you. There are a few of these independent small courtyards.

Excluding the two that are heavily guarded and only for Regiment Commander level, there are two with adjacent courtyard walls..."

Section Chief Liu's voice softened unconsciously, patiently explaining the ins and outs to the beautiful little girl.

Then, she picked out the small courtyards that Little Jiang could move into from the materials and continued:

"The internal structure of these two courtyards is about the same; both are two rooms and one living room, with the kitchen outside the courtyard and the latrine behind the courtyard."

"These were built in the fifties, so there are no electrical wires inside, and the furniture was long ago moved out for firewood; it's just an empty shell."

"The roof and beams are fine. When the apartment family quarters were built last year, they were also arranged to be repaired, so they are sturdy."

"There are a few coconut trees in the front and back of the courtyard, and the weeds and azaleas are blooming vigorously; the environment is quiet."

In short, moving into this kind of small courtyard required purchasing furniture personally, and there wasn't even an iron pot for the stove; everything had to be bought new.

Most people wouldn't be willing to spend so much money.

As for Jiang Ye, he was a Battalion-level cadre before and often went on missions, so his bonuses and allowances were only more, not less; he had the conditions to buy everything new.

Shen Man fell into deep thought after listening.

Empty house, only an empty shell.

For others, they might be picky.

But for her, it was no problem.

She didn't find it troublesome to fill up a small home bit by bit.

Besides, she wasn't short of money.

Shen Man pointed to one of them and firmly chose, "Brother Jiang Ye, I like this house. Let's take it."

"Good."

Jiang Ye nodded. It didn't matter where he lived, as long as his little girl was by his side.

Since the little girl had chosen it, then it would be this one.

"Trouble Section Chief Liu to help me book this one. I'll come get the key tomorrow and see what needs to be purchased."

"Okay, straightforward. Then I'll book this one for you.

Rest assured, I'll keep a close eye on it for you and won't let it flow into anyone else's hands."

Section Chief Liu looked at the talented and beautiful couple, thinking that Little Jiang's future was bright, and now that he had a wife, he would be even more valued by the organization in the future!

"Thank you, Big Sister Liu."

Shen Man took a sip of

Bitterness first, sweetness later, just like her life...
