Chapter 195: It's good to be a soldier, to be the head of the family for my wife

One of the soldiers said excitedly: "They are the soldiers led by Captain Lu of the First Battalion."

The leaders smiled with satisfaction: "Only good generals can lead good soldiers."

Leaders attach great importance to physical fitness and like these lively little warriors.

Hearing this, the second captain Qian Sanshu, who was also passing by, twitched his lips: "............"

The soldiers of the first battalion ran faster than rabbits, clearly running for their lives.

The military district leaders saw it and praised it? Is that even possible?

The second captain Qian Sanshu must be feeling extremely upset.

The other leader of the third group, Jian Zhang, felt very upset. Why didn't the members of their third group come and run a few laps?

Captain Lu is truly a talented person. Even when he is away, his soldiers can still return with glory.

Lu Xingchen, who was unaware of this, was happily accompanying Jiang Zhizhi to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Almost all the villagers living in the surrounding area and the sisters-in-law from the military area come to this supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. I heard from Lu Xingchen that there is also a black market in this area.

The young couple set out early today, and there was still a lot of fresh pork at the pork supply point. Many people gathered in front of the pork stall, excitedly pointing at which piece of pork they wanted.

The young couple was queuing, and the aunts and uncles queuing behind them were staring at them with smiles on their faces.

The man was wearing a dark green military uniform, exuding a sense of righteousness and boldness. The woman was fair and tender like a white bun, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt made of pure cotton and a pair of loose black pants. She was carrying a small military green shoulder bag with a five-pointed star on it. She exuded a sense of relaxation and comfort.

Nowadays, girls all like to wear Dacron and blouse. This girl is dressed too simply.

Is it because the military allowance is not enough that we live in such poverty?

When it was Jiang Zhizhi's turn, no one wanted the tenderloin she had her eyes on, so she took it decisively.

Then I selected two large pig trotters, ten pounds of pork belly, ten pounds of pork fat, five pounds of lean meat, and half a rack of ribs.

The staff at the pork supply point quickly used their knives to chop the ribs with a "crunch, crunch" sound, and chopped half a rib into small pieces.

Jiang Zhizhi likes to add a lot of oil when cooking, which causes the oil at home to be consumed too quickly. So, she simply bought some pork fat to make pork fat.

Jiang Zhizhi kept the 120 yuan pocket money his brother gave him for the time being, but he used all of the meat coupons, oil coupons, and grain coupons.

Her brother is a foodie and he loves this kind of food, so she will satisfy him with delicious food!

Anyway, all the sisters-in-law in the family compound knew that she was going to treat them to house-warming wine today, and they must have found out that she had returned from shopping.

Then she would have an excuse to take food out of the space in the future.

Jiang Zhizhi raised his eyes and looked at Lu Xingchen. There were stars in the man's eyes and it was obvious that he was very happy.

In fact, if there were any new things in the house, her brother Chen would know it.

He was a scout in the unit, with strong observation skills and quick reaction, but he just didn't ask.

Lu Xingchen is indeed happy. He has his own family and a wife. His married life is rich and colorful. Such days are very promising!

Jiang Zhizhi bought so much pork at once that the sales clerks were shocked and the aunts and uncles in the line behind him were stunned.

Poor? She just dressed simply, but she bought meat openly, which made people envious.

No wonder so many people join the army, the benefits of being a soldier are good!

The key point is that the girl is the head of the couple!

Look how happy the man is to let his wife manage the household and finances, and he has no objection to her buying so many things.

It’s good to be a soldier, so that your wife can be the head of the family!

The aunties' eyes lit up. Are there only good men like this in the army? They also want to find one to show their daughters.

Lu Xingchen was very sensitive to the fact that the ladies around him were staring at his wife, their eyes glowing green.

He put all the pork he bought into the basket, and Jiang Zhizhi paid the money and the bill with a faint smile.

Afterwards, I bought 50 kilograms of rice, 30 kilograms of flour, and 2 kilograms of soy sauce.

I bought everything from pots and pans to firewood, rice, oil, salt, brown sugar and white sugar, just enough to fill in the gaps in the house.

The next stop was naturally to buy chicken and fish. It was inconvenient for Lu Xingchen to go to the black market in his military uniform, so the two of them went to a nearby village.

Find the villagers you know to exchange some supplies. The great working people of this era want food more than fish and chicken.

Many military wives would come here to "exchange" some things on weekdays. In those days, supplies were scarce, and the higher-ups turned a blind eye and basically didn't care much as long as it wasn't excessive.

One of the farmers caught two free-range chickens that he raised. Even though the chickens' feet were tied, they still flapped their powerful wings vigorously.

Jiang Zhizhi couldn't wait to order it. The meat of this free-range chicken was chewy and delicious.

"Uncle, do you know anyone who has fish that we can exchange?"

The uncle was very talkative, and seeing that Jiang Zhizhi was willing to pay, he took him to the fisherman and caught two big grass carps.

After finishing their shopping, the couple returned to their family compound. Lu Xingchen got out of the car, opened the back door, and moved all the things inside into the house.

Afterwards, he returned the jeep to the camp and called his brother-in-law to come over for dinner.

Jiang Zhizhi smiled deeply, "Go ahead, I'll take care of the things first."

Lu Xingchen rubbed his fingertips, trying to hold back, but couldn't help wiping his wife's face. "The heavy work will be done when I come back. I'll be back soon."

After Lu Xingchen drove away, Big Baozi, Little Baozi and Little Bean Bun came running over carrying a vegetable basket.

"Sister Zhizhi, we are here to deliver vegetables and potatoes. My mother said she will come over to help later."

A few minutes later, Political Commissar Chen Yueming's wife Yan Zi came with a pair of cute little kids. "Come to Dou Dou Ya Ya, say hello to Aunt Zhi Zhi."

Doudou and Yaya called out in baby voices and raised the small basket in their hands with difficulty. The basket was filled with Artemisia selengensis sprouts, which were picked by swallows from the mountains. This wild vegetable is especially delicious when boiled in water and eaten with sauce.

Another basket contained tomatoes and cucumbers.

Jiang Zhizhi was surrounded by five children, her wet eyes sparkling like stars.

"Just call me auntie. Thank you for your hard work, big bun, little bun, little bean bun, bean curd, bean curd, and bud."

Jiang Zhizhi took out a few White Rabbit milk candies, melted them with hot water to make milk, and poured them into five bowls for a group of radishes to drink.

"I have to thank you for the firewood you brought me yesterday. It came in handy today."

When she first came to the family compound, two of her sisters-in-law were really kind to her. As a conscientious person, she would also be kind to their children.

The buns' dark faces turned slightly red and they jumped up happily: "Yeah yeah yeah, this is White Rabbit Milk Candy!"

“It tastes super sweet.”

Political Commissar Chen's wife Yan Zi once again saw Zhizhi's gentle side. When Zhizhi has a child in the future, she will definitely be a good mother.

Yan Zi helped Dou Dou and Ya Ya wipe their milk-stained mouths with a cloth and said, "What do you want to say?"

Doudou and Yaya didn't forget to run over happily, looking up at their little faces, and said in a baby voice, "Thank you, Aunt Zhizhi."

Jiang Zhizhi was so adorable that she couldn't help but pinch the children's soft little faces.

Yan Zi introduced them with a smile: "My son Doudou is eight years old this year, and Yaya is five years old this year. They are at the age of being strong and healthy. How can they afford something as expensive as White Rabbit Milk Candy?"

Jiang Zhizhi: "Sister-in-law, why are you being so polite to me? You guys sent so many dishes today, can't I give the children something sweet to taste?"

"And this is the wedding candy for me and Brother Chen's wedding. Everyone come and have some wedding candy to share in the good cheer."

Yan Zi took Jiang Zhizhi's hand and said affectionately, "If you don't bring more food, there won't be enough to eat. All of them soldiers are big eaters, even gluttons can eat and drink."

"When my political commissar Chen came back, he said that a group of hungry soldiers snatched the tea eggs and rolls from Captain Lu. Every decent person has snatched Captain Lu's food."

"The new recruits have a high energy consumption and get hungry easily. They are so hungry that they even dare to take the lunch box of the battalion commander."
