Chapter 92: Bought a lot of firewood, Tong Shiyu went on a mission
During the New Year holidays, the troops did not need to train, and Tong Shiyu stayed at home with Ma Siqing.
Tong Shiyu served all three meals a day to Ma Siqing.
Chen Xiaowei always lamented that Tong Shiyu was not as good as Ma Siqing in cooking. He didn't know how Ma Siqing's hands were long, and how she could season the food so well.
Ma Siqing was secretly happy in her heart.
Good cooking skills are because there are many ingredients!
They are all modern craftsmanship, how can they not taste good?
When they were free, Tong Shiyu picked up a book, and Ma Siqing spent half of her time reading and the other half of her time sewing clothes for the baby.
Chen Xiaowei saw that the couple had turned the life of parents into a life of books, and he had nothing but admiration.
Ma Siqing was angry when she saw Chen Xiaowei wandering around every day, so she asked him to join the reading team.
Many years later, Chen Xiaowei was in a high position, and he still sighed that it was fortunate that his sister-in-law was strict with him and forced him to read and review.
In order to continue to eat for free, Chen Xiaowei had to pick up books.
However, he was not limited to reading only textbooks. As long as the books were in line with the policy at the time, Chen Xiaowei would borrow them from others.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, a lot of firewood was delivered from the forest farm.
This time, it was Cheng Fuqing who delivered the firewood, and Cheng Fuqing also brought his son Huzi with him.
When Ma Siqing saw Cheng Fuqing, she seemed to feel a sense of intimacy in her heart.
Tong Shiyu, Cheng Fuqing, and Hu Zi unloaded a truckload of firewood and stacked them outside the house.
The open space in front of the house was almost full.
After stacking the firewood, Tong Shiyu invited Cheng Fuqing to his house. After
entering the house, Cheng Fuqing took out a bag of brown sugar and two handfuls of candy from his pocket.
It turned out that Cheng Fuqing was not only here to deliver firewood, but also wanted to deliver something to Ma Siqing.
Brown sugar was hard to buy, and Ma Siqing took it gratefully and thanked him repeatedly.
She gave Cheng Fuqing two frozen pears and two sticky rice dumplings in return, and also packed a packet for Hu Zi with a dollar in it.
Now the sticky rice dumplings made before the New Year have been given away and eaten, and they are almost gone.
Cheng Fuqing sat in Ma Siqing's house for a while. Ma Siqing packed a lot of candies for Hu Zi. Hu Zi politely said thank you sister.
Cheng Fuqing criticized him and asked him to call her aunt.
Hu Zi refused and insisted to call her sister.
Calling her aunt makes her look old.
Cheng Fuqing couldn't do anything with him. Ma Siqing smiled and said it was just a title. There was no need to restrict the child. He could call her whatever he wanted. It didn't matter.
Cheng Fuqing only sat for a while and left with Hu Zi. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to help asking about Ma Siqing's life experience. Now was not the right time.
He was now very sure that this young wife named Ma Siqing had a complicated relationship with his brother.
Early in the morning on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Tong Shiyu reluctantly said goodbye to Ma Siqing, packed his backpack, took all the cold-proof clothes, earmuffs and masks that Ma Siqing had prepared for him, and gathered at the camp, ready to go.
This time, Chen Xiaowei and Zhong Guofan will go on the mission with Tong Shiyu.
In the military compound, although Ma Siqing has been here for a few months, the only person she is most familiar with is Aunt Feng.
Mao Xiaowang is also in the team this time.
Tong Shiyu told Ma Siqing to find Minister Li Shiqiang of the Logistics Department if she has any questions.
She can get closer to Aunt Feng.
There is also the wife of Platoon Leader Huang in the military compound next door. She is a good military wife. If Ma Siqing has the opportunity, she can spend more time with her.
In other families, the men are fine, but the women are a little bit lacking.
Ma Siqing nodded in agreement.
When Zhang Xiangling was still in Anling, she already knew who she could get along with and who she couldn't.
But she didn't want to deal with too many people. If her secret was exposed one day, the consequences would definitely not be good.
It's best to keep a low profile and make fewer mistakes.
Anyway, she and Tong Shiyu will definitely leave this place in three years at the latest.
After Tong Shiyu left, Ma Siqing lived a closed-door life.
She didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Moreover, Tong Shiyu took her to Fuyuan Town before the New Year to buy a lot of flour and rice, as well as some vegetables and daily necessities.
In the past few days, Tong Shiyu also exchanged a lot of food from the logistics department of the army.
Seeing so much firewood, Ma Siqing was worried. She had to use some of it, otherwise she would be exposed.
So Ma Siqing went outside to carry firewood into the house every morning. Sometimes Aunt Feng saw her and came to help.
Then she would chat with Ma Siqing.
Every day was nothing special.
Although Tong Shiyu was not at home, Ma Siqing still lived a colorful life.
She sewed clothes for the baby, knitted sweaters, and made cotton-padded jackets.
She rested when she was tired, and read books to review when she was tired.
Alone in the house, she still insisted on exercising every day, and practiced all the yoga and Sanda she knew in her previous life.
However, she paid great attention to protecting the baby in her belly, but she did not pamper herself.
It is so convenient to have a space supermarket.
Food and daily necessities are inexhaustible, and the garbage generated will disappear automatically when it is placed in the space supermarket.
You can't be careless about the baby's things, all the clothes must be pure cotton.
Ma Siqing had time to carefully browse her supermarket.
The supermarket seems to have changed recently. It
is divided into sections automatically.
When she came to the 1970s area, the shelves were full of things used in this era.
Ma Siqing saw clothes for the baby and took out four sets and put them in the cabinet.
The style of the shoes is also suitable for this time.
Thinking that the baby will be born around October, Anling will be cold at that time, so Ma Siqing went to the 2020 area to take a look and took out six sets of thick cotton clothes to change into current styles.
In this way, Ma Siqing's life became more fulfilling.
Knowing that she had been pregnant for two months, Ma Siqing discovered pregnancy test sticks while shopping in Space Supermarket.
Curious, she took a box, read the instructions carefully, and tested it with her morning urine when she got up in the morning.
Two bright red lines.
Thinking of the short film about the origin of life that she had watched with Tong Shiyu in her previous life, Ma Siqing touched her belly. It was amazing that a little life was growing healthily in her belly.
After the first month of the year, on the second day of the second month, Commander Ma suddenly found Ma Siqing with someone.
Ma Siqing took a look and saw that this was the principal of Sanchagou School .
What did he want to see her for?
Wei Xingzhi explained his purpose and wanted to invite Ma Siqing to be a substitute teacher in their school.
This was the first time Commander Ma met Ma Siqing.
But Ma Siqing gave him a familiar feeling. Her demeanor and appearance gave him a sense of déjà vu.
But after he arrived in Anling, it was indeed the first time he saw Ma Siqing, and he was sure that he had never known Ma Siqing before.
Commander Ma was puzzled.
After Wei Xingzhi explained his purpose, he waited for Ma Siqing's reply.
Ma Siqing said that she was pregnant and it was not good for her to travel.
Commander Ma then spoke: "Principal Wei, our army is also preparing to set up a school. It will be more convenient for Mrs. Tong to take classes here."
"Hey, if I had known that, I would not have rejected you that day. In this way, the school would not have been unable to find teachers to teach the children."
"Doesn't the school lack teachers?"
"Now there is a shortage of teachers. One has returned to his hometown and the other has been transferred elsewhere. We applied to the Education Bureau, and the Education Bureau asked us to find a solution ourselves." "
Principal Wei, let me think about it."
"When can you give me an answer?"
"In two days!"
