Rebirth: Sensational Military Wife in 70s...

Chapter 11: The Family Housing

To ensure ease of movement, Shi Tingyu chose not to wear a skirt but opted for a white shirt and black pants, complemented by a pair of black Mary Jane shoes. The only standout was her small white leather bag, which she had brought back from abroad.

Despite the simplicity of her outfit—similar to other women's attire—Lu Weiguo found her appearance strikingly attractive.

At 1.68 meters, Shi Tingyu was not considered short here, but compared to the nearly 1.90-meter-tall Lu Weiguo, she appeared relatively small.

As the two figures, one tall and one shorter, arrived at the entrance of the family housing area, they attracted a number of curious glances.

The military wives and soldiers on leave passing by cast inquisitive looks their way. Some were taken aback by Lu Weiguo's striking appearance, while others who had seen him before instinctively kept their distance.

Lu Weiguo had previously lived in the barracks and was not a familiar face in the family housing area. Many of the military wives had never seen him before.

The soldiers on guard had seen him, but they had never witnessed him in such close proximity to a woman.

As he stood still, Lu Weiguo's eyes followed the two figures, his inner excitement barely contained. He wanted to speak but was constrained by discipline, his face reddening with suppressed emotion.

"Isn't that the notorious Devil of the First Battalion?"

"Who is that woman with him? Is she his girlfriend or his sister?"

"She doesn't look like his sister. With the Commander's fierce reputation, it's hard to imagine his sister being so pretty. If she were his girlfriend, the rumors about his temper and intimidating demeanor would make it unlikely he'd have a successful match. They say his blind dates always end in failure."

"Oh, I'm so curious! I wish I could find out more!"

However, the two bypassed the onlookers, completed their registration, and entered the housing area.

Fortunately, at this time of day, when most people were at work, the family housing area was not very crowded. They soon passed the entrance and encountered only a few people.

Originally, the family housing area consisted entirely of houses with small yards, positioned near the entrance. Later, additional small yard houses were constructed in the middle section, with the newest apartment buildings at the far end.

Lu Weiguo's small yard house was located in the central part of the family housing area, close to the eastern end. It had only one neighbor to the west, with a fair distance between the two yards. Built during the second phase of construction, it was about 70-80% new.

As Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo approached the door, it was secured by an iron latch.

Lu Weiguo produced a brass key and unlocked it.

With a push, the two doors opened to reveal the small yard.

The yard was almost square, with a stone path running through the center directly to the main room.

To the right of the yard was the kitchen, while the toilet was diagonally opposite, near the inner wall by the gate, ensuring that the smell did not enter the house.

The rest of the yard was bare earth.

In front of the main room and bedrooms was a corridor about two meters wide, extending the full width of the yard, supported by four vertical columns.
