Chapter 39 They Eat Meat!



After saying a few words to the military families, Guan Wenru led her grandmother into the house to tidy up their belongings.

The layout of family compounds in Northwest China is quite different from that in other places.

The division headquarters family compound where they are now located is actually divided into three courtyards, and Guan Wenru moved into courtyard number one.

After entering the courtyard, there are houses on the left and right sides, arranged in rows.

There are 24 houses in the No. 1 courtyard, numbered starting from the right side when you enter the courtyard.

Guan Wenru and her family moved into the last house on the right, which was house number 12.

It was quite a coincidence that the 11th room next to hers was where Guan Wenru lived in her previous life.

If Han Haoxian and Zhao Mei get married smoothly, and Zhao Mei comes to live with him in the military, she may stay in room number 11.

Guan Wenru couldn't help but laugh at the thought of this possibility.

She was already looking forward to it, hoping that Zhao Mei would bring those two ingrates, Han Xiangdong and Han Fengjiao, to accompany her to the army.

In this life, she will definitely treat the four of them well!

Guan Wanxin and Guan Wenru, grandmother and granddaughter, had just taken the bedding out of the large cloth bag.

He Yanzhi returned, carrying several aluminum lunchboxes in his hand.

After entering the house, he first nodded to Guan Wenru, then looked at Guan Wanxin and said, "Grandma, I had something to do today and couldn't get away to pick you up. I'm sorry."

Guan Wanxin waved her hand, "I understand, work is important."

"Grandma, you all have lunch first. Tell me how you want to organize these things, and I'll do it."

"We don't have much to pack, let's eat together first."

He Yanzhi shook his head, "I've already eaten. This food is for you. You can eat first."

Hearing him say that, Guan Wanxin stopped being polite and pointed to one of the large cloth bags, "Inside are the mattresses and wedding quilts that Grandma made for you. You can move them into your and Wenru's room and make them up first."

He Yanzhi: "Okay."

Guan Wenru immediately pointed to the room on her right, "I want to live in that room. Grandma lives in the east room on the left."

Their house has three rooms in total: the middle one is the living room, the right side has the kitchen, toilet and a bedroom, and the left side has two bedrooms.

He Yanzhi had no objection to where they stayed. "Okay, you guys eat first."

He carried the large cloth bag into the house on the right.

Guan Wenru had already opened the aluminum lunchbox. The staple food was white steamed buns, the vegetables were stewed potatoes, and the meat dish was stewed cabbage with eggs.

Seeing the food, Guan Wanxin pursed her lips and finally understood why people often said that conditions in the Northwest were harsh.

This area is high-altitude loess, and many crops cannot be grown here.

In addition, due to inconvenient transportation, many things from outside cannot be transported in.

It's very difficult to get fresh vegetables here!

Guan Wenru turned her head and glanced at the room on the right. He Yanzhi probably wouldn't be able to come out for a while.

She quickly took out a box of stir-fried beef from her storage space and then quickly divided it into the two lunchboxes.

She tossed the plastic box back into her storage space and then gestured for her grandmother to eat quickly.

The two ate the beef in their lunchboxes first.

Eating meat can supplement protein and make people strong, so Guan Wenru wanted her grandmother to eat meat every day!

As for He Yanzhi... we'll find another opportunity later to legitimately take out the meat and eat it together.

After finishing the meat, Guan Wenru explained in a low voice, "Grandma, the conditions here are harsher than I imagined. Even the soldiers who need to replenish their energy every day can't eat meat."

The cafeteria here only serves small amounts of fatty pork slices or stewed meat once a week or during special periods, so it's not that He Yanzhi doesn't want to give us meat, but rather that the cafeteria doesn't have the means to do so.

Guan Wanxin chuckled and flicked her forehead, "Don't worry, Grandma won't misunderstand him."

The two continued eating the other things from their lunchboxes when, just then, a little kid appeared at their doorstep.

He kept sniffling, and then he burst into tears, crying, "Meat! They're eating meat!"

Guan Wenru: "..."

Holy crap, she had completely forgotten that there was a real 'dog's nose' in this family compound.

To exaggerate a bit, he could smell it if someone was eating meat within a ten-mile radius.
