Chapter 13 Xiao Tuan's Welcome Gift
Just at this moment, voices were heard from the next yard.
When Gu Jianguo opened the gate and went out, he happened to run into the new team leader Xiao Yi and his family.
Xiao Yi received the appointment a few days ago, but happened to be delayed by some matters at home.
"Are you Captain Xiao?" Gu Jianguo watched the other party moving large and small bags of things into his home and hurried forward to lend a hand.
"Yes, I am the newly appointed commander of the Seventh Regiment, Xiao Yi, and you are the deputy commander, Gu Jianguo?" Xiao Yi looked Gu Jianguo up and down.
Although he did not arrive at the military camp, he learned about it in advance.
Especially Gu Jianguo's family who lived next door to them.
Therefore, he recognized Gu Jianguo the first time he came out of his house.
Xiao Yi is his direct superior.
Gu Jianguo was enthusiastic and polite.
It was not until he helped move the large and small bags into the yard that he remembered that he still had to borrow milk powder for Qibao.
"Tuan Xiao, I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you anymore. I'll come visit you tomorrow with my wife and children!" said Gu Jianguo.
Under the dim light, Xiao Yi's handsome and elegant face showed a hint of surprise: "It's so late, is there still something to do in the army?"
Gu Jianguo waved his hand: "It's not the army's business. My wife has no milk and my daughter is hungry. I was thinking of borrowing some milk powder from someone."
"What a coincidence, I just happened to have two extra cans of milk powder at home that I don't need!" Xiao Yi said generously.
As he finished speaking, Xiao Yi's wife Bai Xiumei came out holding two cans of milk powder: "Give it to the child. It's your new arrival, so consider it a welcome gift for the child."
"This, this is not appropriate..." Gu Jianguo repeatedly declined.
Milk powder is not cheap these days.
Even if you have money, it won’t work without milk powder coupons.
Giving two cans of milk powder as a meeting gift, what kind of family is this?
"Okay, stop nagging. Just give it to the child if he needs it." Bai Xiumei was bold and straightforward. She stuffed the milk powder directly into his arms.
Gu Jianguo thanked him profusely and returned home dazed with two cans of milk powder.
"You borrowed it so soon?" Su Mingmei came out of the room holding Gu Qiqi.
Gu Jianguo then mentioned the matter of the two cans of milk powder.
When Su Mingmei heard that it was Xiao Tuan from next door who gave their children a greeting gift, she was both touched and uneasy.
This is milk powder...
Two cans at a time, this gift is too expensive.
My husband once said that gifts between neighbors don’t need to be too expensive.
Now she had to think carefully about what to give in return.
Su Mingmei gave Qibao to Gu Jianguo to hold while she went to prepare the milk powder.
Because there was no bottle at home, Su Mingmei could only use a cup with a scale on it to make the milk.
After making it, use a small wooden spoon to feed it.
The milk powder smells sweet and is extremely tempting to Gu Qiqi, who is still a baby.
The full cup of milk powder ended up in her stomach.
After eating and drinking, Gu Qiqi burped happily.
[Well, it would be nice if I could eat milk powder every day! ]
She's not really a baby.
To be honest, it’s still a bit embarrassing to lie in my mother’s arms and drink milk every day.
Su Mingmei and Gu Jianguo looked at each other.
"Starting this month, I will apply for milk powder coupons from my leader to ensure that our daughter can drink milk powder every day!" Gu Jianguo patted his chest and made a solemn promise to his wife.
"Okay, we can save on anything, but we can't save on our daughter's food!" Su Mingmei nodded.
The eldest child, Su Jinze, was breastfed until he was one and a half years old.
The second and third child are twins. Perhaps because they are young and their mother helps take care of them, they eat well and sleep well, and her milk is barely enough to feed the two children.
When we got to Qibao, there was not enough food.
Besides the fact that Qibao does have a big appetite, she is indeed not as young as she was a few years ago.
Gu Qiqi drank the sweet and delicious milk powder and was in a good mood. She interacted with Gu Jianguo and his wife for a while before pretending to fall asleep again.
However, his spiritual consciousness sank into the secret space and glanced at the spiritual honey in the secret space.
Su Mingmei gave birth to four children, and her physical condition was damaged.
Gu Qiqi wanted to take the good things in the space out, but she was too young now, and things appearing out of nowhere in the house would always arouse the suspicion of Gu Jianguo and his wife.
Finally, Gu Qiqi set her sights on the palm-sized spring.
The spiritual spring in the spring is gushing and surging, endlessly.
She tried meditating beside the spring and the effect was very good.
The magical water from the spring is beneficial to people and has no harm at all.
She decided that when her mother carried her to the kitchen during the day, she would sprinkle some spiritual spring water in the water tank.
There are a lot of good things in the space, but I just worry about how to take them out to improve my life.
Gu Jianguo and his wife treated her very well. Before she knew it, she had already identified with this couple and her three brothers...
Although she was wearing books, they were living beings.
They were destined to be a family in this life, so she had to protect them.
Of course, the premise is that she will not die young!
Gu Qiqi yawned, and his consciousness withdrew from the secret space.
(The secret space is only open to Gu Qiqi. When her consciousness or body is in the space, her relatives outside cannot read her thoughts.)
Have a good night's sleep.
The next morning, Su Mingmei started busying herself in the kitchen.
She thought about it for half the night last night. There was nothing valuable in the house. The only thing that was acceptable was that she was a good cook.
I might as well get up early, prepare some breakfast, and send some over to the restaurant next door first.
Su Mingmei loves pasta, but unfortunately white flour is too expensive and the monthly supply is limited. No matter how much she likes it, she can only count the amount she eats.
There was about a pound of white flour left this month, and she planned to cook it all in one go today.
This breakfast not only uses white flour, but also eggs, all of which are precious things.
Usually I feed it to the children.
Su Mingmei was not stingy at all when giving the gifts to others this time. After all, compared with milk powder, white flour and eggs, they seemed ordinary.
Su Mingmei poured the flour into a ceramic bowl, beat three eggs, sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions, added an appropriate amount of salt, and then poured some water to mix and stir...
On the stove nearby, sweet potato and multi-grain porridge was cooking in a clay pot over a low fire.
Eating only scallion omelet is definitely not enough, it is just right to pair it with some sweet potato porridge.
Xiao Yi from next door reported for the first day and got up early.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Jianguo standing outside in the dim light.
"So early?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.
Could it be that she wanted to ask him to do morning exercises together?
However, when he reaches this position, he basically trains the group of soldiers under him.
"My wife is making breakfast and preparing your portion. She told my sister-in-law that she doesn't need to make separate ones!" said Gu Jianguo.
"Haha, this is great. Your sister-in-law can't cook. Now we don't have to eat in the cafeteria!" Xiao Yi was overjoyed when he heard that.
In the morning, he was discussing with his wife about going to the canteen to get some breakfast.
Now that it's available, and Gu Jianguo is interested in getting closer to his neighbors, Xiao Yi naturally wouldn't refuse.
After morning exercise, the porridge on the stove had already been stewed until soft, and the noodles in the basin had also fermented.
By the time the boys got up and washed up, the scallion egg pancakes in Su Mingmei's pot were already baked.
