70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 209
"We've just arrived, and the house hasn't been tidied up yet, so don't worry, it's not too late to invite you after the house is tidied up."

"Okay then, I'll tidy it up tomorrow and see what's missing at home." The house is so cold now, and there's still nothing missing, Xie Xiaonian thought about it, and felt that it's still like Zhongjun said, tidy up the house first Yes, it would be more appropriate to invite guests again.

The next day when Xie Xiaonian was soundly asleep, he was woken up by the sharp whistle, but Xie Xiaonian was too sleepy and very cold, so Xie Xiaonian shrank his head and said to Xu Zhongjun who was sitting up: "It's so early! You have to get up, it's not dawn yet!"

"Well, there is going to be exercise training in the morning, so go to bed!"

"Then wrap the pancakes in a quilt and bring them to me, it's too cold, I don't want to move." Because Xu Zhongjun takes care of the pancakes at night, Xie Xiaonian just needs to be a baby bottle, so Xie Xiaonian really didn't expect that the night here It's so cold.

After Xie Xiaonian finished speaking, he fell asleep again within a few minutes, not even knowing when Xu Zhongjun left.

When Xie Xiaonian woke up again, the sky was already bright, Xie Xiaonian looked at his watch and it was almost 7 o'clock, because Xu Zhongjun would come back for breakfast at 7:30, so Xie Xiaonian didn't care about the cold, and hurriedly got up.

If it's cooking outside, it must be too late, so Xie Xiaonian hurriedly carried the pancakes into the space after getting up.

After entering the space, Xie Xiaonian packed up the pancakes first, put them on the sofa in the study, let Xiaobai watch them, and then went to the kitchen to prepare for cooking.

Because Xu Zhongjun still had some food from the army, such as white flour and rice, so Xie Xiaonian made sweet potato porridge from the mountain stream according to what he had at home, then fried a cabbage, and posted it A couple of tortillas.

In order not to be discovered by Xu Zhongjun, Xie Xiaonian transferred all the prepared meals to the pots and bowls in the kitchen outside, then opened the vent of the briquettes and boiled a pot of water.

After everything was done, Xie Xiaonian went into the space to dress Panbing again, and carried him out.

Seeing that everything was done, Xie Xiaonian reached out and opened the curtains.

It seems that we still have to get up early to cook at home, otherwise it would be really hard to explain why the briquettes were only burned so little, and the meals were ready.

After Xie Xiaonian finished boiling the water and warmed the rice on the coal stove for ten minutes, Xu Zhongjun came back.

"Didn't you say you came back at 7:30, why didn't you come back until 8 o'clock, the food was almost cold." Xie Xiaonian asked doubtfully when he opened the door.

"I asked for leave two days ago, so I piled up some things, and I came back a little late. From now on, you can eat as soon as you cook, and you don't have to wait for me." Xu Zhongjun said as he entered the room.

"I'm not hungry, how can I eat alone when I'm in the army!" Xie Xiaonian said with a pout.

And she is really not hungry, she drank a big bowl of milk in the space in the morning, and she is still full now.

In the past, every time Xu Zhongjun finished training, he would go to the cafeteria to eat, and when he returned home at night, he was alone.

Now he doesn't need to use the key to open the door when he comes back, just knock on the door, Xiao Nian will come to open the door for him, and there are ready meals waiting for him at home.

At this moment Xu Zhongjun felt very happy, even if he couldn't have dinner with Xie Xiaonian, he was still very happy.

So after closing the door, Xu Zhongjun hugged Xie Xiaonian and pancakes, and sighed, "It's great to have you here!"

When Xie Xiaonian served Xu Zhongjun porridge, he added a drop of space well water to the bowl. Xie Xiaonian planned to secretly put a drop in Xu Zhongjun's bowl every day in the future. The body is in great condition.

Xu Zhongjun returned to the army after eating, and fell asleep after playing with pancakes for a while. Xie Xiaonian saw that he had nothing to do, so after tidying up the kitchen, he took a paper and pen and sat next to the coal stove in the living room. Things to add to your home.

At present, most of the things at home are issued by the army, so they can only meet the standard of survival. There is nothing warm or comfortable at all. Even the sofa and stool are cold to sit on.

So Xie Xiaonian decided to tidy up the house, at least to look like a home, not so deserted anymore.

Xie Xiaonian realized after listing that she actually needed to buy so many things. First of all, she had to buy a lot of cotton or sponges to make sofa cushions and stool cushions, and she didn't know if the cloth at home was enough. Need to buy some more cloth.

Secondly, small things such as mirrors, scissors, and needles and threads are not available at home, so they need to be bought.

And the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen are only enough for their family to eat, not enough for entertaining guests.

Although their family also had vegetable plots, before Xu Zhongjun planted them casually and borrowed tools from other families. Now that she is here, she will definitely use them frequently in the future, so she must also buy a set of farm tools.

Even if food, oil, seasoning and other things can be taken from the space, but Xie Xiaonian did a rough calculation, it still needs a lot of money.

No wonder people say that a broken house is worth tens of thousands of dollars. All these miscellaneous things cost money.

In the end, Xie Xiaonian had no choice, so he decided to buy the most urgent and necessary things first, and then slowly add the rest later.

So when Xu Zhongjun came back at noon, Xie Xiaonian said to Xu Zhongjun: "There are a lot of things that need to be added at home, I want to take some time to go to the county."

"What do you want to buy!" Xu Zhongjun asked in surprise, he felt that there was nothing missing at home.

As soon as Xie Xiaonian heard Xu Zhongjun's tone, he knew what he was thinking, so she took the notebook she had memorized and talked to Xu Zhongjun bit by bit.

After listening to it, Xu Zhongjun realized that his house was lacking so many things, no wonder other houses were full, only his house was empty, he thought it was because there were so many other families.

"There are so many things, you can't take them all, let's go together when you have time, take the army's procurement car, buy it faster, and catch the army's car coming back at noon, save the time by taking the bus to move up and down of."

Xie Xiaonian was still thinking about getting something out of the space to save some money, how could Xu Zhongjun follow him.

And there is so much food in the space, if you spend money and tickets to buy it, what a waste.

So Xie Xiaonian said: "Aren't you very busy these two days? When will you be free? In the afternoon, you can tell the logistics department for me. I will take the pancakes to buy them. Anyway, there are military vehicles here, so I will take them with you." Don't be afraid of getting tired, if you can't finish shopping at one time, at worst, I'll make another trip."

Because the Chinese New Year was just over, and Xu Zhongjun had asked for leave for a few days, and after a while, he would be recruiting troops again in the spring, so the army was still very busy, and there was no normal rest time, let alone asking for leave.

Xu Zhongjun thought that Xie Xiaonian was a very independent person, and he could live at home for more than a year by himself, and with the soldiers from the logistics department around, there shouldn't be any problems, so he agreed: "Okay, then I will talk to the logistics this afternoon and ask them what time they leave tomorrow and when they will return, and then you can just wait at the fork outside. But how do you bring pancakes, it’s so cold.”

"It's okay, I'll just tie him in front of me with cloth strips. Wearing thick clothes and wrapping a small quilt, he won't be cold. And I won't wander around on the road. I'll be back soon, no problem. "Xie Xiaonian said.

"Well, as long as you have an idea, buy some important things first, and you won't be able to take any more. I'll buy the rest after I rest."

"Well, I see." Xie Xiaonian replied.

When Xu Zhongjun came back at night, Xie Xiaonian hurriedly asked: "How is it? What time will the logistics leave tomorrow? Do you agree with me to take the car?"

Seeing that Xie Xiaonian was in such a hurry, Xu Zhongjun hurriedly replied: "I have already told them that we will leave at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. You can just wait at the fork in the road. It's a small green pickup truck."

The next morning, after Xie Xiaonian cooked the meal, he ate without waiting for Xu Zhongjun. When Xu Zhongjun came back to eat, it was almost 7:40.

Xie Xiaonian had already packed his things at this time, and when he saw Xu Zhongjun came back, he walked out and said, "I should go, the rice is warming in the pot, put the bowl there after you finish eating, I'll wash it when I come back, by the way , remember to put the kettle on the coal stove when you leave."

Seeing that it was getting late and he couldn't let people wait, Xu Zhongjun said, "Well, I see, you should be careful on the road. By the way, you have brought your keys. Do you have enough money and tickets?"

"Okay, okay, I'm ready, don't worry about it, I'm not a 3-year-old kid." Although Xu Zhongjun was rambunctious for a while, Xie Xiaonian was in a hurry and didn't want to hear it, so he hurriedly interrupted.

Then she didn't let Xu Zhongjun deliver it, and went downstairs with the pancakes in her arms.

It is rare for Xu Zhongjun to talk so much, and he is disgusted by others. If his soldiers see it, they will admire Xie Xiaonian very much. He has the courage to talk to Xu Zhongjun like this, but he also responded to the phrase "one thing is one thing". talk.

And here, when Xie Xiaonian came to the fork in the road, he happened to see a small green pickup truck parked there, so he hurried forward.

At this time, the two people in the car also saw Xie Xiaonian walking over with the child in their arms, got out of the car and walked to Xie Xiaonian, saluted and shouted: "Hi sister-in-law."

Their actions really surprised Xie Xiaonian, she was the one who was bothering others, so she was ashamed to accept their gifts, so she quickly said: "Hello, I'm really sorry to bother you, I just came here and I have a lot of things to buy , with a child, it is not convenient to take the bus, so I can only trouble you."

"It's okay, sister-in-law, don't delay us. Usually, when the weather is good, there are many sister-in-laws who ride in our car." The two of them talked and led Xie Xiaonian to the passenger seat.

Xie Xiaonian found out that there were only 2 seats in the car, if she took one, the other soldier would have to sit in the rear carport, so Xie Xiaonian quickly refused: "I'll just sit in the back, there is a carport, It won't freeze either."

"Sister-in-law, you can sit in the front. There is no fixed seat in the rear compartment, so you can only sit in a small horse. It's not safe for you to hold your child." One of the thinner soldiers said.

"That's right, sister-in-law, you should sit in the front. Today, you are alone in the car. If there are too many people, we can't help but let you sit in the front. You don't have to be polite, just get in the car." Another soldier also said.

Seeing what the two said, Xie Xiaonian had no choice but to sit in front.

From the chats with them along the way, Xie Xiaonian also knew the identities of the two people. They are both buyers of the logistics department of the regiment. The one driving the car is called Wang Qianjin, and the one sitting behind is called Lin Sen. The vegetables that their regiment usually needs , The meat is purchased by two people, but these are the fixed supply items from above. It is said that they are purchased, but in fact they are just buying goods.

They were going back at 11:11 noon, so Xie Xiaonian had to buy things before [-]:[-] and wait for them at the place where they got off.

Xie Xiaonian got off at the intersection of the county's main road, which happened to be close to various shops, so shopping was more convenient.

Xie Xiaonian first went to the daily necessities store to buy needles, threads, brains and other small things for home use, and then went to the grain store for a tour. Although she didn't need to buy grain, she still had to understand the difference between the grain store here and her hometown, and don't take it when the time comes. Something that doesn't exist here.

After visiting the grain store, Xie Xiaonian went to buy more than a dozen bowls and plates, although it was still not enough for a treat, but it would be enough to borrow a few from others when the time came, otherwise too much would be a waste.

After Xie Xiaonian finished shopping for small things, she went to the labor insurance supply store of the supply and marketing cooperative, thinking about buying some cotton or sponges to make cushions at home, which was one of the most important things she came here today.

It may be that winter is almost over now, so there are fewer people who come to buy quilt cotton. Xie Xiaonian walked to the counter, saw the salesperson was knitting a sweater with his head down, and said directly: "Hello, comrade, do you have any sponge?"

"Hi, we, Xiao Nian!" The salesman shouted in surprise when he looked up and saw that it was Xie Xiao Nian.
