Chapter 225 Fresh Milk, Captain Lu Comes to Line Up
When Political Commissar Chen Yueming's wife Yan Zi saw Jiang Zhizhi smiling with her eyebrows curved, she knew that she was interested.
"It's fresh milk. If you order milk, the milkman from the milk station will deliver the milk to your family's yard at a fixed time every day. The prerequisite is that you place an order of at least 20 kilograms, and then the milkman will deliver it."
"If it's not enough, we have to pick it up ourselves."
Nong Chunhua gasped and exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, twenty kilograms is so much?"
"Can the family compound find twenty kilograms?"
Just like the situation in her family, she did not have a formal job in the family compound, and the family's food and daily necessities all depended on Lao Liang's salary and allowance. She wished she could split every penny into two.
"It's a bit difficult." Yan Zi was also worried and unsure. Until now, many sisters-in-law were still waiting and watching, and few had placed orders.
Jiang Zhizhi likes drinking milk very much, and she was really tempted at this moment.
A pound of fresh milk costs 1.8 cents, and if you order milk for a month, it will cost 5.4 yuan.
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "In fact, drinking milk is good. Fresh milk contains high-quality protein, calcium, vitamins and other nutrients, which are also good for children's growth."
Yan Zi's eyes lit up instantly and she stood up excitedly: "Really?"
Yan Zi felt from the bottom of her heart that the girl was well-educated and capable. Even she said so, so drinking milk must really have benefits.
Nong Chunhua was very excited and asked eagerly, "Can it really make you taller?"
The kids at home are short, and as a mother, she sincerely hopes that her son will grow tall.
Her husband Liang is only 1.78 meters tall, but Battalion Commander Lu and Battalion Commander Jiang are both 1.88 meters tall. They look tall and straight, so handsome!
Jiang Zhizhi chuckled and explained, "Just drinking milk is not enough."
"They also need to eat some lean meat, fish, shrimp and other high-quality proteins. It's best to let them exercise more often. These are all helpful for growing taller."
"When my brother Chen was little, he would jump around in the compound. He had endless energy. Hahaha, that's what his mother said."
Yan Zi and Nong Chun Hua laughed, so Yan Zi stood up and said happily: "I'll go talk to those military wives. It's about the growth of their children. I think they will be happy to order milk."
"To be honest, I wanted to order half a pound for Doudou and Yaya, so I naturally asked more people to order together."
Yan Zi did what she said. She gulped down the tea in the bowl and excitedly went to find other sisters-in-law to order milk.
Nong Chunhua turned around and confirmed again: "Zhizhi, do you think my buns can grow taller?"
Jiang Zhizhi curled his lips and said, "Baozi is so active and lively. He likes to run around all the time. I think he is active enough. Drinking milk is good for the body. You can decide based on the actual situation at home."
After all, if you order one catty for a month, it costs 5.4 yuan, and if you order half a catty, it costs 2.7 yuan.
For Sister Chunhua, her family is large and she has to send money back to Liang Zhirong's parents every month. Ordering milk is also a big expense.
After Nong Chunhua returned home, she also discussed with Lao Liang whether to place an order for the buns.
Liang Zhirong had a day of training today and was so tired that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting. He yawned and said, "Order it, one kilogram. Otherwise, others have it, but the buns don't. It's so pitiful."
The next day, Liang Zhirong mentioned this matter in the office, and Lu Xingchen ordered half a pound of milk for Jiang Zhizhi without hesitation.
When Gu Qingpei thought about how thin Xue Li was, he ordered half a pound for her.
So when the sisters-in-law in the family compound heard that drinking milk was good, they ordered it for a month to try it out.
Some families team up to order one kilogram, and then divide the amount when they get back, which can save them some money.
This family ordered half a pound, that family ordered a pound. The military wife in charge of logistics quickly compiled a list, collected the milk order fee from each family, and then went to the milk station to communicate with the milkman to deliver the milk to the family compound before six o'clock every morning.
Especially when the weather is hot, fresh milk does not keep long, so it is best to deliver it in the morning so that the children can have breakfast together and drink a glass of fresh milk.
The person in charge of the milk station negotiated the delivery time and wages with the milkman, and then agreed to the request made by the military wife from the logistics department.
The wives of soldiers in the logistics department were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. Now they could finally go back and give everyone the good news.
The children in the family compound were very excited. Knowing that there was milk to drink, they all looked forward to getting milk the next day.
At this time.
Sensing her man's fiery gaze, Jiang Zhizhi's beautiful eyes smiled, she put her arms around his waist, and said softly, "You still ordered milk for me."
Lu Xingchen lowered his eyes and smiled: "Milk is nutritious and good for your body. I will bring some back for you to drink every day."
Jiang Zhizhi raised her head and kissed the corner of his lips happily: "My husband is so nice."
The next day, as the children were looking forward to it, the milkman came to the family compound on his bicycle carrying 23 kilograms of milk.
The wife of a soldier in the logistics department checked the weight and quantity, thanked the milkman enthusiastically, then moved a table and chairs out of the logistics department and called another wife of a soldier to help distribute the milk.
"Please queue up. Military wives who have ordered milk don't need to worry. We will distribute them according to the list. As long as you have ordered milk, there will be some."
Nong Chunhua came early to line up for milk. Behind her were three excited buns, who were jumping around and looking at the milk in front of them.
After she received the one-pound bag of fresh milk, she turned around and saw Xiao Lu in the middle of the team.
She almost couldn't believe that Xiao Lu actually ordered milk for Zhi Meizi. Xiao Lu loves his wife so much!
Oh my god, Zhimei has really fallen into the nest of happiness.
Not only Nong Chunhua, but even the sisters-in-law in the team couldn't help but feel secretly happy, as it was rare to see men serving in the army forming part of the team.
However, not only Captain Lu came, but also Captain Gu Qingpei of the 1st Regiment came, but now he was at the back of the team.
One or two are really rare.
Xue Li was used to working at home, so she would get up before dawn.
She washed up first, and then used the stove that Gu Qingpei bought to steam the two cornmeal steamed buns that were left over from yesterday.
"Knock knock knock...Xue Li, are you up yet? It's me, Gu Qingpei."
"I'm up." The tension in Xue Li's heart spread to her whole body, and she responded quickly.
Before, with Zhizhi around, she felt safe.
Now she was the only one facing Gu Qingpei, and she felt a little nervous.
Gu Qingpei could hear the tension in his sister's tone, so he quickly said, "Don't worry, I've ordered a month's supply of milk for you, half a pound a day. Drinking milk is nutritious, can help you grow taller, and is good for your health. Xueli, drink more."
"I'll put the milk at the door now. Remember to take it later. I'm going to the camp first."
Xueli said gently, "Thank you."
As for the word "brother", she hadn't yet said it out loud.
Xue Li knew that Gu Qingpei was devoted to her and did not force her to do anything she was unwilling to do, nor did he even mention going back to Gu's house.
Gu Qingpei promised to respect her ideas and that he would stand firmly on her side no matter what.
Xue Li's heart was filled with waves.
Gu Qingpei could hear that his sister's tone was a little more relaxed, and he immediately realized that Xueli was thin-skinned and had not yet recovered.
It doesn’t matter, just give Sydney more time to adapt.
He couldn't erase the injuries and scars he had suffered before, but what he could do was to be extra nice to his sister.
Gu Qingpei hung the bag of fresh milk on the door handle and then strode away.
When Xue Li opened the door and saw the bag of fragrant milk, she was so upset that she couldn't calm down for a long time.
The children who received the milk on the first day were so happy that they have been savoring the taste of the milk from six o'clock to now eight o'clock.
Big buns, small buns and little bean buns were playing happily in the yard, sharing how delicious the milk was with the kids who had not ordered milk.
