Chapter 56 Severing Ties? I've never heard of that! (2/2)

Lin Han held her hand and comforted her.

"Aunt Qin, the house that Huo Qizheng was allocated is only a few minutes away from here. You can come see me if you miss me."

"And since you cook so well, I might start coming back every few days to freeload off you."

Qin Shuman was cheered up by her, and her sadness from before was swept away.

"Okay, if you miss me, come back for a meal. I'll cook something delicious for you."

"Okay, Aunt Qin."

Huo Qizheng's house wasn't ready yet, so Lin Han was staying at Qin Shuman's house for the next few days.

Huo Qizheng is temporarily staying in the dormitory.

After leaving Gu Huaiming's house in the afternoon, he took Liu Jiang and several soldiers from the 137th Regiment to repaint the house inside and out.

Lin Han had previously said she wanted pure white walls, so both the interior and exterior of the house were painted white.

After finishing the cleaning, they went to the barracks and got new doors and windows to replace them.

Although the house is still empty, it looks brand new.

Lin Han wanted to come, but Huo Qizheng wouldn't let her.

"The walls were just painted, so the smell is a bit strong. How about I let them air out overnight before I take you to see them?"

They spoke in a soft, gentle voice, as if coaxing a child.

Lin Han nodded, "Okay, let's go after we finish shopping tomorrow, then we can see how to arrange it."

The next morning, Huo Qizheng drove to Qin Shuman's house to pick up Lin Han.

"Honey, have you had breakfast? I brought you some red bean buns, have some to tide you over."

Lin Han ate porridge at Qin Shuman's house, but the hot red bean buns smelled so good that she slowly ate one as well.

After arriving at the department store, the two went straight to the furniture counter.

What kind of furniture would you two like to buy?

The saleswoman could tell that Lin Han and Huo Qizheng were a newlywed couple buying furniture. Usually, newlywed customers like them buy the most and the most complete items, so she took this sale very seriously and kept introducing furniture to Huo Qizheng.

"You can introduce him to my wife, we all listen to her in our family."

The saleswoman looked on with envy. Usually, it was men who bought furniture from her, so they were used to introducing furniture to men, and women generally couldn't make the decisions.

Unexpectedly, this tall and handsome man is quite doting on his wife.

"Okay, comrade, this cabinet is sourced from Shanghai. It's the best in terms of style and quality."

And this bed is a full two meters wide; you definitely won't feel cramped sleeping on it.

Lin Han was quite satisfied with the cabinet.

"I need two dressers and two wardrobes."

One chest of drawers is placed in the living room, another in the study, and there's only one large wardrobe in each bedroom.

"There are also bookshelves and desks, dining table and coffee table, and sofa."

"Okay, okay, I'll show you this way. We have all these things here. You won't find anywhere else where you can buy them all at once."

After Lin Han had chosen the furniture, she realized she had forgotten to ask Huo Qizheng how much money he had brought. It would be awkward if she didn't have enough to pay.

She glanced at Huo Qizheng.

Huo Qizheng immediately understood her meaning and handed her the money notes he had prepared beforehand.

"Don't worry, I have enough money and coupons. I didn't have many expenses before, so I saved my salary and allowances."

The missions I take are usually quite dangerous, so my allowance is higher than usual, and I've saved up quite a bit of money over the years.

Yesterday I exchanged some extra tickets with other comrades, that should be enough. Buy whatever you like, don't worry about the money.
