After Song Qi left, Chu Yue turned around and asked Chen Fengying to do her a favor, hoping that Chen Fengying would not tell anyone about the fact that Lu Zhanlin sent someone to deliver something.
Chen Fengying nodded immediately, "Sister Chu, don't worry. I know that neither you nor Captain Lu like to show off. I will keep my mouth shut and will never tell anyone."
"Thank you, Sister Chen."
Chu Yue thanked him politely.
Chen Fengying waved her hands repeatedly and said when she left that after eating Chu Yue's pork skin jelly, she would come back to give her big steamed buns, all of which she made herself.
Only when neighbors interact with each other can they have good relationships.
After Chen Fengying left, Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao stood in front of the brand new bicycle and liked it more and more the more they looked at it.
Lu Yuanbao asked quietly, "This bicycle... is it ours now?"
"Yes! It's ours!" Chu Yue nodded with a smile. She took Lu Yuanbao's hand, put it on the back seat of the bicycle, and asked, "Yuanbao, do you want to ride a bicycle?"
Lu Yuanbao's dark eyes lit up instantly and he nodded without any hesitation.
This is a bicycle! In their village, only the village party secretary and the village head have bicycles, and no one else has one.
Not only could he see the bicycle now, he could also touch it and even sit on it!
This was something Lu Yuanbao had never dared to think about before, he wanted to sit on it!
"Okay! I'll take you on a bike ride!"
Chu Yue not only wants to take Lu Yuanbao for a bicycle ride, she also wants to take Lu Yuanbao down the mountain.
The reason she wants a bicycle is so that she can go up and down the mountain freely.
In addition, Chu Yue made a full six or seven kilograms of pork skin jelly. This much pork skin jelly would definitely not be finished if only consumed at home, so of course she planned to sell it!
It's still early now, and we can still make it down the mountain to go to the market.
Chu Yue touched Lu Yuanbao's head and said, "Go back and get your hat and scarf. We'll ride our bikes down the mountain to go to the market!"
…
It was noon that day.
When Lu Zhanlin walked into the army cafeteria, he was holding an aluminum lunch box in his hand. The small silver color was actually not very noticeable, but Xu Feng had been with Lu Zhanlin for a long time, and he could tell from a distance that Lu Zhanlin had a subtle expression.
As he got closer, the scout's excellent eyesight immediately saw the lunch box in Lu Zhanlin's hand.
This is rare.
Xu Feng walked to Lu Zhanlin's side, and the two walked side by side into the army cafeteria. He signaled with his eyes, "What good stuff are you hiding secretly?"
Lu Zhanlin glanced at him, obviously not intending to say anything, so he said perfunctorily, "It has nothing to do with you."
The more Lu Zhanlin said this, the more curious Xu Feng became. He not only moved closer to follow Lu Zhanlin, but also shouted threats.
"Captain Lu, you can't be an ungrateful person. You borrowed twenty dollars from me a few days ago, and you turned against me so quickly? Oh my... I didn't expect that our great Captain Lu is a henpecked husband who can't even take out twenty dollars."
Lu Zhanlin not only didn't have twenty dollars, he didn't even have ten dollars.
He looked at Xu Feng unhappily. There was really nothing he could do about this shameless guy.
"Okay, sit down and eat together."
"That's more like it!"
Xu Feng smiled happily and sat at the table with Lu Zhanlin to eat.
Both of them were popular figures in the army and attracted a lot of attention wherever they went. So after Lu Zhanlin and Xu Feng sat down, several battalion commanders and company commanders around them also sat over, partly to talk and partly out of curiosity.
After finishing his meal, Lu Zhanlin had just put down his lunch box when Xu Feng, holding chopsticks in his hand, stretched his neck and opened his eyes wide to take a closer look.
As the lunch box was opened, crystal clear pork skin jelly appeared in front of everyone.
Xu Feng was a rough guy from the countryside. He had never seen anything so good before. His eyes widened as he looked at it. "Can pork skin jelly be like this? Is this also made by my sister-in-law? Let me have a taste - damn! This is too delicious!"
The delicious pork skin jelly did not shut Xu Feng's mouth, but instead made him so excited that he cursed.
Delicious! Damn delicious!
"Captain Lu, is your wife's cooking skill so good? I have never seen such beautiful pork skin jelly."
"Captain Lu, when will you bring your sister-in-law to meet us? We've eaten the wedding candy but haven't met her yet."
"Xu Feng, is it really that delicious? Tell me about it!"
"It's delicious, of course it's delicious! It's so tender, smooth and chewy! It's so delicious that I can't describe it!" Xu Feng was very proud, even more excited than Lu Zhanlin, "You don't know, I went to Captain Lu's house for dinner last week, and my sister-in-law made it herself! It smelled so good... It made me want to get a wife!"
"Who! Who said he wanted to get a wife?"
An old but powerful voice was heard in the cafeteria. When a group of officers heard the voice, their expressions immediately changed. They all sat upright, without a trace of smile on their faces.
Lu Zhanlin stood up and said respectfully to the visitor, "General He."
The old man with gray hair is He Changzheng, the commander of the Southwest Military Region.
General He has been a soldier all his life, and has spent most of his life fighting for his country. He has a unique aura forged on the battlefield. Even though he looks more like a cheerful old man now, he still inspires awe.
When Commander He came closer, he saw the focus of everyone's discussion, which was the box of pork skin jelly on the dining table.
He said to Xu Feng with a sullen face, "Hurry up and give me the chopsticks!"
Xu Feng was frightened. He was not afraid of anything except General He. Normally, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He just made a joke and was heard by General He. His heart trembled several times.
Seeing that Commander He did not say anything in advance, Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took the chopsticks and handed them to Commander He.
Commander He sat down with his chopsticks and said to the others, "Sit down, sit down, sit down, and continue eating."
Lu Zhanlin, Xu Feng, and everyone else sat down.
Commander He took a piece of pork skin jelly with his chopsticks and asked Lu Zhanlin, "Is this made by your wife?"
Lu Zhanlin nodded, "Yes, she did it."
Commander He looked at the transparent pork skin jelly on the chopsticks. Although he did not show the same exaggerated expression as Xu Feng, he was also surprised.
After he put it in his mouth, his surprise turned into amazement.
This stuff is unexpectedly delicious!
Lu Zhanlin was sitting next to Commander He. Seeing the old commander's surprised expression, the corners of his mouth slightly raised with a hint of pride.
The pride that comes from Chu Yue.
Commander He took a bite, then another bite, and then another bite.
He didn't say a word, but just couldn't put down his chopsticks. Seeing that most of the pork skin jelly was almost gone, Xu Feng was very anxious.
Xu Feng only ate one piece, but Lu Zhanlin hadn't eaten a single piece yet! He still wanted to eat a few more bites!
Xu Feng said anxiously, "General He, please leave some for us!"
Commander He then realized that he had lost his composure. Who would have thought that a small piece of pork skin jelly could be so delicious? He coughed a few times in embarrassment.
"Ahem." Commander He looked at Lu Zhanlin, "I finally understand why you don't want to stay in the capital, but are willing to come to the remote southwest."
