Chapter 233 You're a Useless Thing

She cooked rice in a rice cooker, then killed two chickens, one of which she tried to make into a roast chicken in the bakery oven, and the other one into a chestnut roast chicken.

Considering that the fish in the pond had been raised for a long time and looked to weigh more than ten or twenty kilograms, she killed the only fish in the space.

The fish was too big, so she made the fish head into chopped pepper fish head, braised half of the fish body, and cut the other half into fillets. She paired it with homemade sauerkraut to make a dish of sauerkraut fish.

There was chicken and fish, and then she cooked three vegetarian dishes and made a soup.

After having dinner alone, she stayed in the bakery to make egg cakes and peach pastries.

After being busy for a while, she finally left the space.

By this time the snow outside had stopped, but Lu Jiansen still hadn't returned.

She sighed softly. Could it be that he had a mission tonight and wouldn't be coming back?

Seeing that the brazier that was burning during the day was about to go out, she added some more charcoal, then lit up the kang at home and used the heat-gathering technique again.

Just as the temperature in the room started to rise, a heart-wrenching cry was unexpectedly heard outside.

Gu Xiaoxi listened carefully and felt that the voice was that of Deputy Captain Yin's mother, so she did not go out.

But many people in this family compound ran out. It was a very cold day, so there was quite a commotion.

After a while, Li Guifen came to her house.

"Sister Xiaoxi, you..."

Li Guifen originally wanted to gossip, but just as she started, she unexpectedly saw four bicycles parked under the eaves outside the kitchen.

She blinked her eyes, looking surprised, "Xiaoxi, are these the bicycles you just made? There are so many of them!"

Although this bicycle looks different from ordinary bicycles and the tires seem to be bigger and thicker, it is still a bicycle at first glance!

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded. "My brother and his friends sent me some discarded tires this afternoon. I modified them and have been busy till now. Sister-in-law, take a look and see if you like any of them."

Li Guifen's eyes lit up with joy, and she stretched out her hand and pushed the bicycle closest to her over.

"That's it, that's it! But Xiaoxi, why is this tire so thick?"

Gu Xiaoxi explained with a smile: "This is considered a snow bike, with better anti-skid performance, and is more suitable for riding in the mountains and snow. I have tried riding it in the yard myself, and as long as the road surface is not too snowy, there is no problem riding it!"

Li Guifen was immediately happy when she heard her say this.

"That's great! I want this. I'll go back and get the money from you right now."

"Don't worry! You can take the car back with you and I can pay you anytime."

"No, I have to pay for it before I can pick it up. By the way, how much is this?"

Li Guifen figured that since this car was better than an ordinary bicycle, it must be more expensive.

Even brothers should pay the bills! She doesn't think she shouldn't pay.

"Then fifty is fine? If the car breaks down in the future, we will repair it for you." Gu Xiaoxi promised with a smile.

Li Guifen was even happier when she heard this, and she hurried back to get the money.

After the money and the goods were handed over, she started talking about the gossip.

"Sister Xiaoxi, you didn't go out to see that Deputy Tuan's family is in trouble again..."

When Gu Xiaoxi heard this, he couldn't help but prick up his ears and listened very carefully.

Li Guifen liked Gu Xiaoxi's focused look when listening to gossip, and she became more excited.

"Vice-Tuan's mother was warming herself by the fire at home. When she dozed off, she accidentally burned the quilt at home..."

"Then in order to put out the fire, Gu Xinli poured several basins of water on it, and all the bedding on the kang got wet. The old lady cried because she had no quilt to cover herself with at night."

Gu Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows, "Isn't Gu Xinli newly married? There must be a quilt in her room!"

Li Guifen laughed when she heard this, "You don't know that Deputy Commander Yin is a filial son. All the good quilts in the house are made by the old lady! I heard that the fire was so big that the quilts of the two children were also burned."

Gu Xiaoxi sneered, "Their family is really troublesome!"

"That's right. The old lady cried so hard just now, actually she was crying for everyone to hear. When I just got back, I saw that they had gone to complain to the political commissar." Li Guifen nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Deputy Commander Yin is not at home tonight, right? Lu Jiansen hasn't come back yet!"

"Not yet! My husband hasn't come back either. Don't worry too much, just close the door and go to sleep first. Remember to lock the door." Li Guifen gave a few instructions.

Over the years, she has become accustomed to her husband not coming home when he is on a mission.

But Gu Xiaoxi and Lu Jiansen are newlyweds, so they may not be used to it yet.

"Yeah. I'm actually a little sleepy. I'll take a shower and go to bed soon."

If Lu Jiansen didn't come back, she planned to go back to her companion space and sleep in her new bed tonight.

Well, you can try the jacuzzi later.

Li Guifen chatted with her for a few more words before happily pushing her bicycle away.

…

the other side.

When Deputy Colonel Yin's mother looked at the old quilt sent by Political Commissar Luo's daughter-in-law Li Ci, she felt very unhappy.

The quilt was hard, old, and yellowed, not warm at all, and was far worse than the ones she had used before.

Seeing the political commissar's wife putting down her things and about to leave, she immediately grabbed her.

"We have two children at home, and we only have this old quilt. We are freezing cold at night! Can you ask Deputy Commander Lu to send a quilt to us for a few days?"

Li Ci was stunned after hearing this. Did they already know that there was a quilt in Vice Tuan Lu's house?

Seeing that the political commissar was aggrieved and silent, Old Lady Yin said to herself, "Aren't my wife and Gu Xiaoxi relatives? They say that even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected!"

"I saw that Gu Dachuan brought back two new quilts a few days ago. They have no one to sleep with, so it should be okay for us to sleep on them for a while, right?"

"Then go ask it yourself!" Li Ci didn't intend to get involved in this matter.

"That won't work. You are the leaders, you have to go and talk to us!" Mrs. Gu was already sleepy at this moment, and she wanted to sleep with a new quilt.

Li Ci frowned, "Deputy Commander Yin and his men will be back soon. Let your son talk to Lu Jiansen when the time comes! I can't make the decision on this matter."

After saying that, she turned around and left without caring about the old lady's expression.

It was snowing heavily and extremely cold outside. It was already very good of her to send them a quilt.

Nowadays, no one has so much supplies that they can just give them away.

Besides, Lu Jiansen's family prepared two extra quilts because his father-in-law and mother-in-law were coming to the army to celebrate the New Year.

If we give it to old lady Yin, what will the father-in-law and mother-in-law do?

According to her, since Yin Chunsheng wanted to retire, he should have left directly at the beginning. The army could have arranged a job for him locally, so there was no need for him to come back.

In her opinion, there are many people in the army who are more capable than Yin Chunsheng.

The main reason why Yin Chunsheng was able to get the position of deputy regiment commander was that he was not afraid of hardship. In addition, he had been seriously injured several times, one of which was when he blocked a knife for the commander of the second regiment. The commander of the second regiment had always been protective of him.

But in terms of personal ability, Yin Chunsheng is far inferior to military elites like Lu Jiansen.

Of course, she could only say this in her heart.

When Old Lady Yin saw that the political commissar's wife didn't care, she turned around and started cursing at Gu Xinli.

"You useless thing, isn't Gu Xiaoxi your cousin? You can't even borrow a bed and quilt..."
