70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 236 I Only Like You

"If it was before, I would still be a little angry and feel that the second brother-in-law is unreasonable, but now after such a long period of training, I have understood what the second brother-in-law is doing. The army has strict requirements and is also dangerous. If I are allowed to come in through the back door, I will It’s good that the physical fitness meets the requirements of the army. If it doesn’t meet the requirements, it will hurt me. After all, when performing tasks, guns don’t have eyes. Promise, otherwise I may live like before forever!" Dabao said without hesitation.

"It's good if you can think so, but didn't dad say before that our brigade has a small number of places, so it's not up to you to be a soldier?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.

"Hey, speaking of this, I still have the credit of my brother-in-law. The captain saw that our family has a soldier, and he is an officer. He thought that if I went to the army, the possibility of getting ahead was higher, so he gave me a spot. , let me win glory for the villagers." Dabao said embarrassedly, scratching his buttocks.

"Anyway, you still have the ability, otherwise even if the quota is given to you, you won't pass the review!" Xie Xiaonian said while filling the big treasure bowl with meat.

"Hey, I was selected because I worked all day and had good physical fitness. Chen Chucai is really good, all-rounder in civil and military affairs!"

"Dabao, stop talking and eat quickly!" Before Xie Dabao finished speaking, Xu Zhongjun hurriedly interrupted.

It's a pity that Xie Xiaonian has already heard it, so he asked: "Who are you talking about? Chen Chu? He can't be from our Qingshan Town!"

"Yeah, we are fellow villagers, and you are in the same high school as you. I don't know if you know each other." Xie Dabao continued without seeing Xu Zhongjun's wink.

"Among the classmates I know, there is one named Chen Chu, but that's all I know, not familiar." Xie Xiaonian said indifferently.

"Don't talk about these irrelevant people, let's eat quickly. Didn't you just take the noon leave, and you still have to train in the afternoon?" Xu Zhongjun interjected.

"Yeah, I have to go back before 2 o'clock!" Xie Dabao didn't care about talking anymore, and hurriedly ate the rice, without even noticing that Xu Zhongjun was gagging him.

After eating, Xie Dabao took out five yuan from his pocket, and said to Xie Xiaonian: "I don't have time to go out, Second Sister, you can save this money for pancakes!"

"Pancakes have everything, you don't need to buy anything. You only have that little allowance for a month, and then send some back home. How can you have any money in your hand? Put it away quickly. I definitely don't want this money. When you have it someday I've got the money, let's buy it for the pancakes!" Xie Xiaonian can't ask for Dabao's money, if Wu Lihua finds out about it, there will be a catastrophe.

"Yes, we can't take it, you keep it for yourself! I won't send you off, you should know the way back by now!" Xu Zhongjun also continued.

"Okay then, I'll come and see you when I have time, it's getting late, I'll go back to the team first!" After finishing speaking, Xie Dabao ran back to the team with the snacks and fruits Xie Xiaonian had prepared for him.

"You were suddenly so uneasy before, wouldn't it be the reason why Chen Chu came here to serve as a soldier?" After Dabao left, Xie Xiaonian looked at Xu Zhongjun and said jokingly.

"How can it be, isn't it?" Xu Zhongjun insisted.

"If you don't admit it, I know what you're thinking, but don't worry, I don't like Chen Chu at all, I only like you!"

Facing Xie Xiaonian's sudden confession, Xu Zhongjun immediately changed his mood, kissed Xie Xiaonian fiercely and said, "I only like you too."

At this time, Xu Zhongjun felt that his previous worries were unnecessary, no matter what Xiao Nian thought when he was in school, but now that he has formed a family with him, Chen Chu is not threatening at all.

In this case, he would not have to be wary of Xiao Nian meeting Chen Chu in the future.

"In the future, if you have any questions, just ask me directly, don't keep it to yourself, we must have trust between husband and wife, you know?" Xie Xiaonian said seriously.

"Well, it won't happen in the future, so if you have anything to ask, you should ask me as soon as possible, and don't think about it in your heart and believe other people's nonsense." Xu Zhongjun nodded and said.

After this incident, the relationship between the two took another step forward, and their hearts became closer. Because of this guarantee, they avoided many misunderstandings and conflicts in their future lives.

Because the winter here comes earlier than in my hometown, and sometimes it snows in early October, so Xie Xiaonian has been slowly collecting mountain products such as mushrooms, fungus, and bamboo shoots from the mountains, dried them and stored them for future use. Eat in winter.

Xie Xiaonian also started to process vegetables such as beans and pumpkins grown at home, first drying the ones that can be dried in the sun, and not drying them for preservation. Xie Xiaonian also pickled them before August 8, so I There are a lot of small pickles, kimchi and the like, especially Xie Xiaonian likes to eat pickled cucumbers, and they have pickled a lot.

In previous years, although Wu Shuqin would also buy some mountain products and pickled vegetables, but for a little fun, this year under the leadership of Xie Xiaonian, Wu Shuqin has stored and pickled a lot of things.

Although the couple didn't have much rest time, but because the three children would follow Xie Xiaonian up the mountain to pick, plus Xie Xiaonian's release of water and Xiaobai's search, they got back a lot of things.

Xie Xiaonian also helped make pickles and sauerkraut, so even Wu Shuqin, who didn't have much rest time, had no fewer things at home than Xie Xiaonian's.

At this time, people are short of food and clothing, especially in winter, everyone can eat enough radishes and cabbage every day, so after seeing Xie Xiaonian hoarding food like a hamster, many people in the compound followed suit Done.

And because when hunting this year, almost all the hills are visited by people, so although many people go to the mountains, each family has a lot of harvest. After all, they only go to the mountain next to the compound in previous years. This year they can go to the place The more, the corresponding harvest will be more.

At this time, every family also began to pull out summer vegetables and plant winter radishes, cabbage, potatoes, spinach and other vegetables for the next season.

And Lanhua also wrote to say that she had finished her studies, because she performed well and her grades were particularly excellent, so she was not allowed to return to the brigade to become a barefoot doctor, but was directly assigned to the commune health center and became a nurse.

Although she is just a nurse, she has a monthly salary and all kinds of tickets, which is no worse than the people in the city, so she can be regarded as a person with an iron rice bowl.

So when sister-in-law wrote a letter, she was very grateful, especially thanking Xiao Nian.

Of course, the sister-in-law now has a new job to do, which is to find a husband for Lanhua. Lanhua is 17 years old this year, and she is 18 when counting her imaginary age. Everyone in the village who is as old as her is about to get married, and Lanhua has not yet made a decision.

But because Lanhua has a job now, the people she is looking for are naturally different from before, so now my sister-in-law is worrying about Lanhua every day.

Fortunately, the condition of Orchid is better, and the matchmaker has already broken through the threshold.

August 8th is Pancake's birthday, Xie Xiaonian boiled an egg for Pancake early in the morning and made a bowl of noodles.

Pancakes may be the first time to eat food with flavor, so I not only ate a small half of the eggs, but also ate a lot of noodles.

If it wasn't for Xie Xiaonian who was afraid that he would hold on, his ferocious appearance seemed to eat the whole bowl of noodles.

Because the custom in their hometown is to celebrate birthdays only for the elderly, and children can only grow up fast if they forget their birthdays, so Xie Xiaonian simply ate noodles for the pancakes and celebrated their birthdays.

But Catch the Week is indeed indispensable, although no outsiders were invited to the house, Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun still prepared a simple Zhou Catch Ceremony for the pancakes at night.

"You've got too many things in the army, don't you want him to be a soldier so much?" Xie Xiaonian looked at the wooden pistols, wooden knives, tank models, bullet casings, military caps, etc. that took up more than half of the blanket. Waiting for something unique to the army, rolled his eyes and said.

"What's wrong with being a soldier, the son inherited his father's career, don't you want him to be a soldier?" Xu Zhongjun said indifferently.

"As long as Jianbing is willing, I agree with him doing anything." Actually, Xie Xiaonian didn't want Jianbing to serve as a soldier. After all, it was enough for her to worry about just one person in the family.

"What's your point of view? He'll be happiest if he doesn't do anything. Don't you agree, just let him idle!" Xu Zhongjun said disapprovingly.

This is the first time the two of them have had a dispute over education, and today is Panbing's birthday, so Xie Xiaonian doesn't want to argue with Zhongjun. Anyway, what Panbing will do in the future depends entirely on himself. As parents, they can control it if they want. I can't control it.

So Xie Xiaonian didn't argue with Xu Zhongjun, and said directly: "My son is so good, how can he not do anything, let's hurry up and let the pancake catch, what are you doing with those useless things?"

Then I saw Xu Zhongjun put the pancake on the blanket, and the pancake crawled to the farthest corner, before Xie Xiaonian put a piece of stewed meat, grabbed it and sent it to his mouth.

"Hey, it seems that our son will not have to worry about food in the future!" Xie Xiaonian said with a sneer as he looked at Xu Zhongjun's black face.

It seems that Xu Zhongjun still understands the nature of pancakes, so he resolutely refused to let Xiao Nian put meat in them beforehand.

But Xie Xiaonian felt that if you don't want the pancake to catch something, just don't put it, and this is just for fun, it can't be taken seriously, so in the end, I secretly put a piece of stewed meat. I didn't expect the pancake to have such sharp eyes, and I saw it at a glance.

Fortunately, after Xie Xiaonian snatched the stewed meat from Panbing's hand, Panbing grabbed a wooden sword and a book, which made Zhongjun's face look better.

When it was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 8th, the army distributed 15 catties of mooncakes to each family. Although they were made with five kernels, they were better than nothing, so Xie Xiaonian didn't buy any more mooncakes.

However, Xie Xiaonian still made some mooncakes, and gave some to the acquaintances and Dabao.

After August 8th, the people in the compound became really busy. Except for the children who went to school, the rest of the people would run to the mountains as long as they had nothing to do to get all kinds of dry goods and fruits back home.

Because there are many pine cones here, this is the one Xie Xiaonian made the most of.

In addition to buying mountain goods, each of them started to save firewood for their homes. Because they use a lot in winter, they have to start preparing now. When they are dried, it will almost be winter.

Since the military wives come from all corners of the country, everyone has their own way of handling food, so everyone learns from each other and processes all the mountain goods they find. It can be said that this autumn, every family has a good harvest.

The 8th day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar is National Day. Xie Xiaonian lived in the countryside for the past two years. During the National Day, the village trumpet just sang the national anthem and revolutionary songs a few times, but the army is different, there is a party.

23 That night, Xu Zhongjun said to Xie Xiaonian when he was eating: "Tomorrow at 6 o'clock in the evening, the army will have a cultural show, and all family members can go to watch it. Although the family members are all in the back row, it does not affect the viewing. The army is always year-round. The National Day and Spring Festival evenings are also open to family members, if you have nothing to do, you can go and have a look, just play with pancakes."

"Well, okay, anyway, I have nothing to do when I'm free, and I haven't seen this kind of party yet, are all the girls in the art troupe beautiful." Xie Xiaonian asked with interest.

"No, not as beautiful as you." Xu Zhongjun said with some embarrassment, and his face was a little unnatural.

Xie Xiaonian was very happy to hear Xu Zhongjun's words, Xu Zhongjun had hardly praised her for her beauty before.

As for Xu Zhongjun's unnatural expression, Xie Xiaonian automatically imagined that Xu Zhongjun was embarrassed, and didn't know that there was a big "surprise" waiting for her.
