Chapter 228 New clothes, a fighting hero will cook?

Xueli took the money and notes given by Gu Qingpei and went to the market in the nearby village with Sister Chunhua to buy meat.

It was the first time she had seen such a bustling market, and her joy was beyond words.

Xueli bought three pounds of pork, two grass carps, two pounds of pork ribs, and a six-pound hen. She also saw an old lady selling yam. She remembered the delicious yam and pork rib soup that Jiang Zhizhi had made for her, so she bought three yams.

This time Nong Chunhua came to the market and bought three pounds of rapeseed oil and a large bone.

When the time came, the wives of soldiers sitting in the shopping cart exclaimed in amazement when they saw the two men buying so much meat.

Nong Chunhua smiled and explained, "Captain Gu's family was drinking house-warming wine today, so we bought more meat. Otherwise, how could we buy so much meat if we usually eat frugally?"

The group of military wives finally stopped thinking about it.

Back to the family compound.

Nong Chunhua and Xueli started preparing today's dishes.

Gu Qingpei finished today's training and came back to help. However, on the way, he saw his younger brother Gu Qingchuan running over with two pig trotters in his hand. "Wait for me, second brother. I finally got two big pig trotters. I'm going to take them to add some joy."

"Xue Li is too thin. I am in a hurry to give her some meat."

Gu Qingpei curled his lips and said, "You love meat so much, have you eaten enough this month?"

"I still have meat coupons this month, enough to eat." Gu Qingchuan grinned.

Gu Qingpei stared at his brother's eager eyes and couldn't help but think more. There were many times when he was not in the military area, and it would be nice to have a few more people to look after Xueli.

"Let's go home and have dinner."

When they got home, Jiang Zhizhi, Lu Xingchen and Jiang Wang had already arrived.

Seeing that he was unable to handle it, Jiang Zhizhi smiled and pulled his brother and Brother Chen over to help.

"Wow, brother, your garlic peeling skills are amazing. I have to admit that you are better than me. I will use these garlics to make garlic pork ribs later. It will definitely be delicious. I want to eat a few more pieces."

"My brother Chen's knife skills are getting better and better, much better than mine. Brother Chen, are you tired? Drink some tea to moisten your throat first. I made this tea especially for you."

The two men gradually became more and more active and worked very hard.

Xue Li was stunned by this scene, and her heart was filled with shock.

Two strong and capable combat heroes are actually cooking?

Jiang Zhizhi chuckled. Men need to be praised. If they are happy with the praise, they will naturally perform well. Isn't this a disguised way of helping them improve?

"Sister Xueli." Gu Qingchuan's heart was beating wildly. He stood at the door and looked at Xueli pitifully.

I was worried every day, and every day I would quietly ask my second brother how Xueli was doing.

Gu Qingchuan didn't intend to tell Xue Li about this.

Xueli's eyes were filled with surprise. Gu Qingpei bent over and whispered in Xueli's ear, "When I went to find out the truth, Qingchuan supported me. However, due to his age, it was inevitable that he didn't handle it well at the first time."

"But now Gu Qingchuan has no contact with Gu Qingqing. Look at his performance."

In fact, Xueli no longer longs for the so-called parental love. If you put yourself in her shoes, it is impossible for Gu's mother to let go of twenty years of love so easily.

Insignificant.

It was during this period that Gu Qingpei told Xueli that Gu Qingqing was no longer called Gu and was no longer on the Gu family's household registration book.

Instead, her household registration needed to be transferred out of the Ming family. It was not possible for her to have an independent household registration these days.

She can only be temporarily registered under the Gu family’s household registration, and Ming Xueli is changed to Gu Xueli.

Without an ID, a letter of introduction, or a household registration, it would be difficult to move forward in this era.

If she finds a partner she truly loves in the future and happily builds her own family, she can then consider the household registration relationship.

Everything depends on her wish.

After getting Xueli's nod, Gu Qingchuan's mouth was so happy that it was almost shoulder to shoulder with the sun, and he walked in with two large pig trotters in his hands.

After taking a look at the warmly decorated little home, I couldn't hide my surprise.

The second brother was really good to his younger sister Xueli. He was very upset. He had lived in the dormitory in the barracks for many years and had all three meals in the canteen. He had basically saved no meat and grain coupons.

As for the industrial coupons, cloth coupons, and some of his pocket money, he spent them all on Ming Qingqing, who had now changed her name.

In the end, all the kindness shown to Ming Qingqing became a knife stabbing into Xue Li's body.

Gu Qingchuan made up his mind, and from the day he learned the truth, he began to save money and tickets for Sister Xueli to spend.

"What are you standing there for? Come and help, Captain Gu!"

"Okay, Captain Lu, Captain Jiang." Gu Qingchuan looked embarrassed, but he was happy to bring a small stool and do something within his ability.

Today, those who were drinking the house-warming wine were all people with whom we had a good relationship, so there wasn’t much etiquette to be observed, so everyone worked while talking and laughing.

After Xue Li picked a large basket of vegetables, she thought of Jiang Zhizhi's love for coriander and scallions, so she stood up and tried to get rid of the mud on the roots of the coriander and scallions, then rubbed them under the faucet to clean them.

At this moment, Jiang Zhizhi shouted from the stove: "Xueli, the class has started, come and see."

Xueli hesitated for a while. She had work to do and she also wanted to watch Zhizhi's food class. Her face turned red with anxiety.

"Zhizhi, I'll come after I get the cilantro and chopped green onions."

Jiang Zhizhi turned around, looked over, and said with a smile, "My brother also likes to eat coriander and chopped green onions, just make it for him."

Jiang Wang couldn't resist the mischievous look of his little one, so he looked up and scolded with a smile: "Student Zhizhi, if you have something to do, call me, otherwise just leave me aside."

The corners of Xue Li's lips curled up slightly. Jiang Zhizhi's presence was her reassurance.

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Jiang." Xue Li said softly.

Jiang Wang glanced at Xueli, then at the coriander and scallions, and chuckled: "Okay, okay, give them all to me."

The staple food tonight is white flour steamed buns, and the main dishes include steamed grass carp, sauerkraut fish fillet, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork stewed with vermicelli, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried vegetables, garlic pork ribs, and yam pork rib soup.

Liang Zhirong did not rest today. After the training was over, he brought three buns over.

The buns came running over panting, they were as happy as if they were sinking into soft and fluffy marshmallows, so sweet.

Gu Qingpei stood up, poured Maotai liquor for his brothers, and then held up the wine bowl to thank everyone for taking care of Xueli.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. With Jiang Zhizhi's culinary guidance, Xueli and Chunhua took turns to be the chef, and the meal received unanimous praise from everyone.

The most delicious dish in the hearts of the buns has changed again!

I changed to garlic pork ribs! The best one!

Xue Li lived freely and happily in the family compound. She was twenty years old this year, and she experienced the happiness and joy that she had never had before from Jiang Zhizhi and Gu Qingpei.

Xue Li worked hard for five days and finally gave Jiang Zhizhi a short-sleeved top made of bean paste-colored cotton cloth.

Jiang Zhizhi's eyes were full of twinkling stars. She asked happily, "When will you measure the size?"

Xueli's face was tinged with shyness. "One day you fell asleep on the recliner, and I measured it with my hands. Zhizhi, try it on. If there is anything that doesn't fit, I will change it for you."

Jiang Zhizhi happily took the new clothes, rushed back to the room like a whirlwind, and changed into the gift that Xue Li gave her for the first time.

After changing, he ran out happily and turned around in front of Xueli.

"How is it?"

Jiang Zhizhi already has fair skin, and the bean paste color makes her look even whiter and more radiant.

Moreover, the bean paste color looks gentle and soft, and not too ostentatious. Xueli smiled brightly and praised sincerely, "Zhizhi is really pretty."

Jiang Zhizhi let Xueli help her arrange the new clothes. They fit her perfectly and didn't need to be altered.

"After I wash and dry it, I'll put it on and show it to you."

Xue Li breathed a sigh of relief. She was really happy that Jiang Zhizhi liked the clothes she made. That feeling of satisfaction could not be simply described in one or two words.

Zhizhi's light and energetic voice rang in her ears. On such a sunny day, Xueli couldn't help but feel happy.

Days like this are really nice.

In the evening, Jiang Zhizhi did not cook. Lu Xingchen took out four braised lion's heads, stewed potatoes with meat, stir-fried loofah with meat, and stir-fried cabbage from the cafeteria in an aluminum lunch box.

After the young couple sat together to eat dinner, Lu Xingchen still went to wash the lunch boxes and put them in the drain basket to drain the water.

Afterwards, Lu Xingchen took Jiang Zhizhi out for a walk, holding hands and enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the moment.

At night, after taking a shower, Lu Xingchen washed his and Jiang Zhizhi's clothes, and hung them on the clothes rack in the yard with his left and right hands.
