"Sister-in-law? Where did you go? I was worried sick! " Gu Dalong stomped his feet as he muttered, "Regiment Commander asked me to protect you, but when I went out to fetch the water, you ran off without a trace. If something happened to you, how am I going to answer to him? Aren't you — "
Mi Xaing 'er did not wait for him to finish his sentence. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Comrade Gu Erga, let me tell you again seriously. Don't call me Sister-in-law in the future! I can't marry your Head Of Yun! "
Ah?
Gu Dalong blinked twice.
He did not know how to continue the conversation.
Mi Xaing 'er ignored him … She was hungry after all the trouble, so she went into the kitchen.
She looked around …
It was indeed a landlord's house. The kitchen was spacious and clean. The only troublesome thing was that there was no running water. All the water was stored in a large vat with a wooden lid on top and a ladle on the side. This was the drinking water system.
The cooking place was also different from the current gas stove … There was no natural gas at all. It burned firewood. On the brick stove, there was a big round iron pot. The lid of the pot was frighteningly big, like a modern round manhole cover.
This was not cowardice!
It had nothing to do with IQ.
She had never seen such a thing in her previous life. Although she had the memories of the original owner of the body in her mind, it was more practical to make a fire.
Mi Xaing 'er stood by the door and felt a little numb.
Gu Dalong came in after her. When he saw her, he pursed his lips and smiled. "Are you hungry? I've already made dinner! "
He opened the cupboard … and took out a big flower bowl covered with gauze. "Here, steamed sweet potatoes and potatoes!"
This child …
He was really considerate!
Mi Xaing 'er looked up and asked, "How about you? Have you eaten? "
"I've eaten!"
Mi Xaing 'er felt a little apologetic. "You're only eating this? It'll burn your stomach. I'll mix some salted vegetables for you? "
Gu Dalong immediately waved his hand. "Sister-in-law …"
He ignored Mi Xaing 'er's protesting gaze and continued, "… Now is a time of hardship for the entire nation. The things that Regiment Commander gave you today were all bought with his own money! It's not easy to have some stock at home. You can keep it and eat it slowly! "
He was really sensible!
Mi Xaing 'er finally realized the hardships of the seventies. "Dalong, what do you usually eat in the army?"
"Hmm? Corn Pancakes, Rice Paste, Sorghum Rice Water Rice, Xiao Mi Porridge. Sometimes we eat cornbread and sometimes steamed buns. Anyway, it's better than other families. The army is taking care of us! "
Huh?
Was this … still alright?
Mi Xaing 'er asked hesitantly, "Then … didn't I eat buns at your place last time? Isn't that your usual meal? "
Gu Dalong laughed heartily. "Huh? Eating buns every day? Wouldn't that be the life of a deity? That's because our regiment's progress in building the canals is the fastest in the division. The political commissar was ruthless and ordered the cooks to kill an old cow as a reward for everyone. That's why we have buns! "
"Huh?"
"Yeah! But the buns are limited! Our Regiment Commander gave you his share! He didn't eat a single bite! "
Huh?
There was such a thing?
Mi Xaing 'er suddenly felt a warmth in her chest. She couldn't help but think of Yun Jingting lowering her head and pursing her lips and smiling.
She quickly calmed herself down …
She coughed lightly. "Dalong, how about this? I can keep the things that Head Of Yun sent over and return them to him in the future! But I'm determined not to take those two dollars! Help me bring them back! "
"Huh?" Gu Dalong quickly waved his hand. "You're a couple …"
"We're not a couple!"
"It doesn't matter! The money was sent over by the Regiment Commander. I've already completed my mission! If you want to withdraw, you can do it yourself! I won't get involved! "
He was afraid that Mi Xaing 'er would force him again, so he quickly continued, "If you feel that it's inconvenient to return the money to the military camp, aren't we going to plant rice? The entire nation's food! Our 32nd Regiment has to help the various villages with farm work every spring for planting and autumn harvest. You'll definitely see the Regiment Commander! "
Mi Xaing 'er's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, she felt a little scared …
What would happen if she saw Yun Jingting again?
What kind of attitude would he have towards her?
She stared blankly at the sweet potato in the bowl and suddenly felt that she had lost her appetite.
She might as well go back to her room …
Lying on the kang bed, she could see the bright moon in the sky through the half-covered window. She didn't know why, but that bright moon slowly transformed into Yun Jingting's face.
The next day …
Mi Xaing 'er woke up early. After washing up, she went into the kitchen.
She saw Gu Dalong pasting corn flour on a big flatbread.
Mi Xaing 'er smiled apologetically and quickly rolled up her sleeves. "You're up so early? Come! Let me do it! "
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard the courtyard door open. Someone asked loudly, "Is Xiang 'er … home?"
It was Mrs. Cheng Yan who came in with a small bamboo basket under her arm. "Xiang 'er, Xiang' er …"
Mi Xaing 'er quickly went out to greet her. "Aunt Cheng, why are you here? Has Yangyang recovered from her illness? "
Madam Cheng Yan pulled a neat bun behind her head and said with a smile on her face, "Yes! The doctor in the county said that if the child continued to have a fever, the consequences would be dangerous! It's all thanks to your antipyretic injection. "
She lowered her head and smiled. She handed the small bamboo basket forward. "Yes! There's nothing to thank me for. Your uncle asked me to send some eggs over! "
Mi Xaing 'er refused. "How can I accept this?"
Mrs. Cheng Yan didn't say much and directly put the basket on the steps … Her meaning was obvious. She was determined to stay. "I'm leaving! Well … if you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me! If you need rice flour or oil, feel free to come and get it! "
She didn't stay for long and turned to leave.
Mi Xaing 'er picked up the small bamboo basket and looked inside … There were twelve eggs neatly placed in the basket. There was also an enamel bowl on the side. In the bowl, there were salted radish strips sprinkled with sesame oil and sesame seeds. The oil was shiny and tempting.
She never thought that salted vegetables could be so fragrant. She sniffed hard … There was a smile at the corner of her mouth. It wasn't because of the food, but because someone still cared about her.
It was hard to come by such kindness!
She carried the basket into the kitchen … She glanced at Gu Dalong and saw that he was still standing by the stove, passionately pasting pancakes on the stove.
She was a forthright and generous person. She knew how to return the favor. "Ergazi, boil the eggs. You've cooked two meals for me. I won't take advantage of others. I'll treat you to eggs!"
Gu Dalong looked inside the basket. "Oh, these are good things! You can keep them for yourself! "
Mi Xaing 'er didn't wait for him to finish and put all the eggs into the water …
Gu Dalong quickly reached out and snatched a few eggs. He clicked his tongue and said, "I know you're generous, but you can't live like this!"
Ah?
Then how should she live?
Live stingily and frugally?
Tsk!
She didn't believe that … as long as she was willing to use her brain and work hard, her life would be bad in the future.
Mi Xaing 'er couldn't be bothered to argue with him. She left four eggs in the pot. After they were cooked and cooled slightly, she gave two to Gu Dalong.
Gu Dalong was a little touched. "Sister-in-law, I'm just a little orderly. You're … you're so nice!"
Mi Xaing 'er chuckled. "You're so easy to get rid of! You're bought over with just two eggs? "
She casually stuffed the remaining eggs into her trouser pocket and made two cornmeal pancakes. "I have to go back to work! You should go back to the army later. Help me thank your Head Of Yun! "
She strode out of the courtyard.
She turned a corner …
From afar, she saw a person standing under an old locust tree …
