Chapter 478: The leader is so lucky

After saying that, Lin Siqiao signaled him with his eyes, asking him to open the shoulder bag he was carrying.

Given that every time she looked at him with such eyes, it would bring him unexpected surprises.

After making full mental preparation, Lu Jianchuan took out the things in the bag.

On top was the graduation certificate from Kyoto University, and below that were two employment reports.

The key point is two.

Seeing that Lu Jianchuan pursed his lips and didn't speak, Lin Siqiao held his face and said, "What's wrong? I started working today. Aren't you happy for me?"

Lu Jianchuan shook his head. "No, I'm happy. I'm just worried that you will not be able to handle the situation if you join two companies at once."

Lin Siqiao has already thought about this.

2017 was actually a year of transition. After resolving its internal conflicts, the country began its formal transformation from this year, and its focus gradually shifted to economic development.

And all this takes time.

So from now until the reform and opening up, there were actually no major developments in the country's major ministries, including the two units where she was going to work.

Oh, not really. The Ministry of Education will be very busy this year.

As for the future, Lin Siqiao is even less worried.

Take Lu Jianchuan for example. He still occasionally goes out to carry out missions now, but when he gets promoted further, there will be fewer opportunities for him to lead a team personally.

The same is true for Lin Siqiao.

She said everything that needed to be said, including what Mr. Liang had said, and she told Lu Jianchuan every word.

"After you join the company, my work focus will be on China, and I will only go on business trips occasionally. Now you can rest assured..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Jianchuan picked the man up by the waist.

"Wife, today is a double celebration for our family, shouldn't we celebrate it properly?"

His eyes were direct and burning.

Like a cluster of flames, it burned Lin Siqiao's heart and made it tremble.

In fact, they hadn't had an in-depth exchange for a long time. The last time was when they were in the United States, which was two years ago.

As if she thought of something, Lin Siqiao's cheeks heated up slightly. She said nothing, but buried her face in his neck.

"Go wash up first—"

Soon after, the lights went out.

Outside the house, the north wind was blowing, and inside the house, human shadows were overlapping.

There was ice and snow inside and outside the house.

The next day, Lin Siqiao woke up to the loud sound of military songs.

This is the good thing about living in a staff housing estate. No matter how tired you are, as soon as you hear this song, your body will move on its own like clockwork.

Just with this movement, Lin Siqiao couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the previous few months of adjustment were in vain.

She really wants to ask someone for advice now, how long is normal for a man to last at a time?

For a moment, Lin Siqiao even wondered if he had been nourishing him too much recently.

Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be the case.

The recipes for the medicinal diet were given by my grandfather. They all nourish qi and blood and help wound recovery. Lin Siqiao only replaced part of it, but the medicinal ingredients are still the same.

Just as I was thinking about it, the door creaked open.

Lu Jianchuan sat down on the edge of the bed holding the ointment. This time he did not rashly lift her quilt, but coaxed her in a gentle voice.

"Wife, can I help you put on a little less?"

Lin Siqiao shook his head. It was a little sore, but not so sore that he couldn't get out of bed.

Lu Jianchuan knew that his wife was shy, "Wife"

"I'm really fine..."

Seeing that he wanted to say something else, Lin Siqiao whispered, "This ointment contains anti-inflammatory ingredients. I don't want to use it."

She had heard before that medicines from the 1970s and 1980s were particularly effective and that a cold or fever could be cured by just a pill or an injection.

However, these medicines were gradually eliminated.

At that time, many people could not understand it. They questioned why such a cheap and effective medicine should be eliminated, so that they now have to spend hundreds of dollars to see a doctor for a cold.

In fact, medical experts have also done popular science on this matter.

The main reason why these drugs have been eliminated is that they contain a large amount of antibiotics. They can indeed cure diseases, but at the same time, the damage they cause to the body is irreversible.

Lu Jianchuan did that several times last night, so it’s better not to use this ointment if you can.

Lu Jianchuan hesitated for a while, "Then can I apply a hot towel to you?"

Lin Siqiao didn't object.

After applying hot compress for a while, my body felt much better.

It was not until she finished washing up and had breakfast that Lin Siqiao remembered to ask him.

"Don't you have to go to the army today?"

Lu Jianchuan hummed and put the peeled egg in her hand.

"Wife, we will be returning to Shanghai in a few days. I thought I'd take advantage of these two days of free time to arrange the dinner."

After he was discharged from the hospital, several families close to him in the family compound came to visit him at home.

It is reasonable for them to treat them to a meal.

Lu Jianchuan originally planned to wait until after the New Year to do it, but he heard from Commander Yuan that they would probably still be busy in the spring.

Lin Siqiao nodded, "Let's do it then. Once it's done, we can go home and spend the New Year in peace."

The commander of the Second Battalion had already held a banquet a few days ago. If they didn't do it, they would probably be criticized.

Originally, Lin Siqiao was quite worried about what to do with the eggs at home. You know, she and Lu Jianchuan have been eating eggs for three meals a day these days.

There is no other way. In this era, the things you can bring when visiting a patient are nothing more than brown sugar, eggs, canned food, and cakes. If the conditions are better, you can buy a bag of milk powder or malted milk.

There were quite a few injured soldiers in the family compound this time, and sugar and pastry coupons were in short supply.

By the time Lu Jianchuan was discharged from the hospital, the sisters-in-law in the family compound were almost worried to death.

What to give?

Finally, everyone turned their attention to eggs, which have high nutritional value and are free of charge.

However, eggs are relatively cheap, only 5 cents each, so it would not be appropriate to give too few.

Look, every family sent at least 30 eggs.

Lin Siqiao roughly counted and found that there were still more than 100 eggs at home, including a lot of cabbage and radishes left.

Thinking of this, Lin Siqiao said, "How about eating mutton hotpot?"

The family compound has a single stove with only one pot.

In addition, there is only one coal stove in the house. If I were to cook all the dishes, I would have to be busy from morning to night.

But eating only mutton hotpot is not enough. Thinking about the dishes he had eaten at the second battalion commander's house a few days ago, Lin Siqiao felt that he still had to cook a few meat dishes, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to present.

This way, there are both vegetables and meat, and everyone can enjoy the meal.

As for what to do, that depends on what you can buy tomorrow.

Considering that there were children present, Lin Siqiao asked Lu Jianchuan to take out the oven and baking tools that he had sent back earlier.

She planned to bake some cookies and make some croissants.

She had promised her leader about this matter, and she couldn't go back on her word.

The next morning, Lin Siqiao drove to the nearest state-owned vegetable market. As the Chinese New Year was approaching tomorrow, the market had an ample supply of vegetables and meat.

Lin Siqiao wandered around in there for almost two hours before he bought all the ingredients.

She didn't plan to make too many meat dishes, just four, namely, pork belly stewed with tiger skin eggs, goose and potato pancakes, pork bones with sauce, and fish head stewed with tofu, which was already very impressive when paired with mutton hotpot.

After a simple lunch, the couple started to get busy.

The only meat dishes that required a lot of effort were these. Fortunately, Lu Jianchuan had borrowed a few coal stoves in advance, and the four pots could be fired at the same time so the cooking speed was fast.

After the meat dishes were put into the pot, Lin Siqiao was no longer in a hurry. Then the couple washed the vegetables while one washed and the other cut them, cooperating very well.

After finishing all these, Lin Siqiao urged Lu Jianchuan to get back to his work.

"Okay, I'm leaving now." Lu Jianchuan kissed her forehead and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my wife."

Lin Siqiao thought he was annoying and slapped him, "Why don't you leave?"

"Okay, I'll leave now."

After Lu Jianchuan left, Lin Siqiao rested for more than an hour and then started making cookies.

I don't plan to make the cookies too complicated, just the simplest ones, like numbers, letters, stars, moon and sun.

By the time Tian Yiping and her sisters-in-law arrived, Lin Siqiao's cookies had almost been baked, and she was now making croissants.

After walking around for a while, they found that they could not help in any way.

In the end, I could only sit in the main room, eating melon seeds and reading the newspaper.

There was nothing to do in the regiment today, and Political Commissar Luo and his team arrived more than half an hour earlier than expected.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw everyone sitting there chatting leisurely. The children were all smiling and very well-behaved.

"Hey, didn't you say you were here to help? Why are you still sitting here eating sunflower seeds?"

"Why should I help? When we arrived, Sister Qiao had already done everything she was supposed to do. We just ate and drank here the whole afternoon."

Political Commissar Luo thought to himself, that’s impossible?

There are three tables of people today. It will take half a day just to wash and cut the vegetables, right?

Tian Yiping didn't argue with him. When she saw that everyone was there, she went to the kitchen.

After a while, three copper hot pots were brought to the table, followed by cabbage, potatoes, vermicelli, tofu, and mutton.

Finally, comes the highlight, four large bowls of meat dishes.

Just smelling this scent is enough to make people dizzy.

At this time, all the men and women present turned their eyes to Lu Jianchuan and said in unison in their hearts.

The team leader is so lucky!
