Chapter 73 The two of them went to the town to buy together
Tong Shiyu came back at noon.
Ma Siqing had already made noodles and the soup was ready and warm on the stove.
When Tong Shiyu was not at home, Ma Siqing took out a chicken from the space and made soup.
She also used oil-absorbing paper to absorb the oil, so the soup was clear, but it tasted delicious.
From a distance, Ma Siqing heard the whistle of the team's disbandment and hurried to cook noodles.
Before Tong Shiyu entered the house, he saw smoke coming out of his chimney.
The joy in his heart was priceless.
As soon as he got home, Tong Shiyu put away his backpack and took off his thick cotton coat.
Ma Siqing's noodles were also handed to him, and there was still a golden fried egg lying on it.
He was extremely hungry, and he wolfed down the food without caring about anything, finishing a large bowl of noodles in an instant.
He felt like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, he only felt that he had eaten something, but he didn't taste it carefully, and the bowl was already upside down.
Ma Siqing sat by the stove and watched Tong Shiyu eat.
In the future, we can improve the diet when Tong Shiyu is not at home.
Meat cannot be eaten openly, but it is not bad to drink some meat soup.
After Tong Shiyu finished eating, he went to wash the bowl himself.
The kitchen had been tidied up by Ma Siqing, and it was clean and bright.
Although he had just returned from a hurried march and his body aches very clearly, Tong Shiyu felt full of strength. With such a woman at home, he had nothing to worry about.
Tong Shiyu washed the dishes and put them in the cupboard.
Rather than a cupboard, it was just a washbasin.
It was covered with a wooden board to keep out the dust.
Tong Shiyu left the kitchen, and Ma Siqing took his cotton jacket from the kang, saying that she had added some cotton to it and asked Tong Shiyu to try it out to see if it fit.
The outside of the cotton jacket was still the same, but Tong Shiyu saw that the color of the cloth inside the jacket had changed.
Ma Siqing used a sewing machine to sew a new lining.
Tong Shiyu felt warm when he put it on.
Perhaps this is the warmth of his wife, which makes him feel that the freezing Anling area is not so cold.
After putting it on, Tong Shiyu was reluctant to take it off.
He hugged Ma Siqing and praised her.
"Siqing, have you added cotton to your clothes?"
"Yes, don't worry! It's too cold today. If you don't wear something thicker, you will catch a cold easily."
"That's good. You are not allowed to spend money only on me. You must have what I have. You must also have what other women have that I don't have. I will work hard to make you live a good life."
"If we work together, things will definitely get better and better."
Tong Shiyu saw the wool on the kang and the sweater that had just been knitted.
"Siqing, this is, is this for me?"
"Yes, but my cooking skills are not very good, please don't dislike it."
"I am the happiest man in the world. How could I marry such a capable wife."
"Siqing, I really want to give you my whole heart, really."
"Silly boy, haven't you given me your heart? We are husband and wife, we should take care of each other, you are good to me, and I will definitely be good to you." "
I will give you all my salary this month. I will definitely not live a bad life."
"Brother Shiyu, I want to go to the town to buy some things. I wonder when the army's car will arrive in the town?"
"The logistics kitchen's car goes to the town three times a week to pick up rice, flour and vegetables. You can take it, but it may be difficult to get a ride back. It's full of things."
Tong Shiyu thought about it.
"Ah, how could I forget the forest train? You can take this to Fuyuan Town, and you can wait for the train on the way back. It will stop at the forest farm once, about half an hour."
"I'm free in the afternoon, how about I go with you?"
"Aren't you tired? Don't you need to rest?"
"We can stay in Fuyuan Town tonight. I'm still on vacation now, so I have nothing to do for the time being."
Tong Shiyu put on his cotton jacket and hat, and ran out again. While running, he told Ma Siqing: "I'll go tell Xiaowei, so that he won't be able to find me."
Ma Siqing watched Tong Shiyu leave a trail of footprints on the snow.
It has not snowed since the snow fell yesterday afternoon. Judging from the weather, it should be sunny for a while.
After a while, Tong Shiyu came back.
The two took their bags, locked the door, and went to the forest farm to wait for the train.
Ma Siqing thought of the slogan: "A train whistle is worth a fortune." Truckloads of timber were transported to various parts of the motherland to support national construction.
This was referring to the forest area of Anling.
Tong Shiyu and Ma Siqing bought tickets at the forest station and entered the platform.
When the forest train came towards them, the sound of it sounded like nature to Ma Siqing.
I didn't expect that the troops had such a convenient way to travel next to the forest area.
The ticket price was not expensive.
The train ticket price in this era was calculated by kilometer, and the prices for hard seats, soft seats and sleepers were different.
She was just going to Fuyuan Town, so a hard seat was enough.
Fuyuan Town was ten kilometers away from the troops, and the train ticket cost two cents.
The two waited for a short while on the platform before they boarded the forest train.
It was winter now, but Ma Siqing looked out the window at Anling, which stretched along the border of the motherland. The pine trees on the mountain were still green.
She could imagine how beautiful it would be in the summer, with
vast forests, towering peaks, overlapping mountains, towering ancient trees, and precious tree species all over Anling.
In the endless primeval forest, there were all kinds of rare wild animals in the vast forest.
This was the rich Anling, the beautiful Anling.
Ginseng, Schisandra chinensis, Hericium erinaceus, Wild grapes, and hundreds of natural medicinal herbs, wild vegetables, wild fruits, and fungi are scattered throughout the forest.
Next summer, Ma Siqing will be able to go into the mountains to collect them. By then, she won’t have to hide them, and she can eat the things in the space openly.
In this closed mountain, the roar of the train sounds so intimate.
People in the mountains are looking forward to it bringing newspapers, books, and movies, and looking forward to relatives from the mountains bringing letters and daily necessities.
Ma Siqing and her friends are riding in a passenger train today.
The passenger train consists of several green-skinned hard-seat passenger cars with hard seats, a ceremonial car, and a guard car. The management of the passenger cars for transporting forest farm workers to the mountains is still very formal. The green-skinned hard-seat carriages are very bumpy.
The trains of this era are very slow, but they are much faster than walking.
The snow was knee-deep and people couldn't walk in the snow for a long time.
The train is undoubtedly the best way to travel in the forest.
It was almost three o'clock when they arrived at Fuyuan Town.
Ma Siqing took Tong Shiyu to the supply and marketing cooperative.
As a result, at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Tong Shiyu met his subordinate who had just returned from visiting relatives.
The subordinate asked Tong Shiyu to help him look after something, and he had to go to the toilet, and there were too many things to carry.
Tong Shiyu looked at Ma Siqing in embarrassment. Ma Siqing understood the bigger picture and said that she would go buy it herself and asked Tong Shiyu to wait for her at the door.
This created an opportunity for Ma Siqing.
