Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Do you learn from kittens and puppies? …
Liang Xin looked up in confusion, "We have mandarin fish at home, but you don't want to eat small fish?"
"Mandarin fish, I'm saving this mandarin fish for you to make fish jelly!"
Lu Chongfeng picked up the enamel basin and looked at the small crucian carp, whitebait, small silver carp, small anchovy, knife fish, a few small shrimps, clams, shellfish and snails inside... They were obviously feed for chickens.
He wouldn’t want to eat it at other times, but today he can’t give this pot of fish to Xiaoju and Xiaobai!
"I took it home and braised it."
Before Liang Xin could react, Lu Chongfeng really took the fish away.
Suddenly, he turned around again, bent down and picked up two small fish that had not been processed on Liang Xin's chopping board. "I'll kill these two when I get back. They will be enough for them to eat."
"I still have beef stewing in the pot."
"I want to eat braised small fish today!"
Watching Lu Chongfeng's hurried back disappear around the corner.
As if he was afraid that the fish in his hand would be snatched away.
Liang Xin: “…”
Li Mao came out and asked, "Is Section Chief Lu here?"
"Go back and cook the fish."
Liang Xin took the chopping board and knife to the sink by the wall, turned on the faucet, and cleaned them with detergent.
“Very good!”
Li Mao sighed, "I have to go back and have a talk with our old Lei. No matter how busy he is, can he be as busy as Section Chief Lu? Section Chief Lu cooks and cleans every day. Sometimes when I get up early in the morning, I can hear the sound of Section Chief Lu sweeping the yard with a big broom. I can't let them wait for me to cook all day long!"
Liang Xin nodded in agreement, "You are also a technician now, and you have a job."
“That’s it!”
The word "technician" made Li Mao smile so much that his mouth was crooked. He followed Liang Xin into the bakery, "Now I can not only make peach cakes and crispy twists, but also peach cakes. Even though I can't read, I am a real technician!"
When Wang Daya heard that Li Mao was illiterate, she looked up in surprise.
Liang Xin opened the lid of the steel pot and poked the beef with chopsticks. "It's almost done. Once this pot of egg cake is out, let's go home and eat after get off work."
"I'm on duty today."
Li Mao took the vegetable basket, took out the potatoes and peeled them, "Let's cook a meal for them here."
Xia Xia took off her apron and looked at Wang Daya, "Daya, you can also bring the vegetables to cook in advance in the future. The coal and firewood will be deducted from your salary."
Wang Daya waved her hand, "I, I don't, I don't need it, I'm eating in the cafeteria."
"Eating in the cafeteria?" Li Mao looked up while peeling potatoes. "Does your family eat in the cafeteria every day? I saw you working, and you don't look like you can't cook. Why don't you cook at home and go to the cafeteria to eat?"
Wang Daya pursed her lips and smiled reluctantly.
Liang Xin scooped the beef into the enamel bowl and heard Zhong Xuelian say, "Instructor Song hasn't given you the money and shopping book yet? Have you transferred your own household registration?"
Wang Daya shook her head, "I, I don't understand."
Li Mao asked again: "Then how do you buy food in the cafeteria every day?"
"Don't ask." Zhong Xuelian sighed, "Ever since the mother and daughter came to join the army, Instructor Song refused to go home and lived in the dormitory every day. The leaders of the regiment have talked to him several times, but it's no use saying anything. It's useless not to go home. He holds the salary, food coupons, shopping books and everything in his hands. He doesn't care whether the mother and daughter live or not. If President Shi hadn't found that Daya and the child were digging wild vegetables every day, he would have felt something was wrong and went to their house to find that all the rice, flour, grain and oil were gone. The mother and daughter had to rely on boiled wild vegetables in water every day to survive."
"What?!"
Li Mao straightened up, eyes wide, "What does this bastard mean? Does he want to starve you and your daughter to death and marry someone else?"
Wang Daya waved her hands quickly, "No, no, her father just wants to, wants to..."
The four of them waited for a long time, but Wang Daya didn't say what she wanted to do.
Because Wang Daya herself doesn’t know either.
Xia Xia glanced at Liang Xin and asked quietly, "Are you also in an arranged marriage?"
"no."
Wang Daya shook her head. "We, we met on a blind date, and got married before his father became an official."
"I heard that Instructor Song's parents are both ill. His father has tuberculosis and his mother has hemiplegia. He also has three or four younger brothers and sisters."
Zhong Xuelian took off her apron. "Before Instructor Song was promoted, he was like all soldiers. He took advantage of his two-year home leave to go home and settle his marriage. Otherwise, he couldn't be promoted. It would be even harder to find a partner after demobilization. But with Instructor Song's family conditions, which family would marry their daughter to him? Daya's family has a stepmother. As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. So Daya was arranged to go on a blind date with Instructor Song. After the first blind date, the two of them fell in love."
Liang Xin closed the lid of the enamel basin, pulled out a chair and sat down to listen to the story.
Xia Xia was puzzled, "They were on a blind date, and they both liked each other, so why is it like this now?"
"Everything was fine when they first got married. Daya is really like the story that the writing team wrote for Liang Xin. No, that story is even more typical than the story that the writing team wrote for Liang Xin."
Zhong Xuelian recounted the details, "Da Ya personally massaged Instructor Song's mother every day, dragged his father to see doctors everywhere, took care of the livestock of the production team to earn work points, and also had to find a way to support his three or four younger siblings. Daya was really capable. Not only did she take good care of the family, she also sent her three or four younger siblings to school. But she didn't expect that Instructor Song would have good luck in becoming an official. Having good luck in becoming an official is a good thing, but he changed after he became an official."
"This kind of wife has done him and his family a great favor! He doesn't know how to be grateful, and he still wants to change?"
Li Mao looked at Wang Daya angrily, "He has changed, and his father and mother don't care?"
Wang Daya said nervously: "I can't control it even if I try."
"Why are you so nervous? You did nothing wrong." Zhong Xuelian sighed again. "As the saying goes, if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. Instructor Song can have such thoughts, and his parents are not much better. They heard that Daya gave birth to a daughter and was not well-liked by her parents. When their son got promoted, they suddenly started to dislike Daya for having a stutter and difficulty speaking. Those brothers and sisters were brought up by Daya to the point where they could serve their parents by themselves. When they heard that Daya was going to take her daughter with her to join the army, they all refused to do it. They stopped her for a year or two and just refused to let her go."
"real?!"
Li Mao looked like he was about to explode with anger. "What a heartless family! You must be so unlucky to marry into this family!"
Liang Xin frowned slightly and looked at Wang Daya, "Do you guys eat three meals a day in the cafeteria now?"
Wang Daya nodded. "Meal money, they said it was from her father's salary."
"Don't worry about it for now." Zhong Xuelian finished speaking, her breathing was also rapid, "I heard from Old Ji that the regiment has warned Instructor Song that if he doesn't treat his wife and children well, he will be removed from his post. If he goes too far again, he will be asked to leave."
Xia Xia and Li Mao breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Xin asked, "What is his attitude towards you and your daughter now?"
Wang Daya smiled and said, "Today, I'm going back home."
Liang Xin said nothing more. She took out a small bowl from the cupboard, put a few pieces of beef in it, and brought it to Wang Daya. "I haven't added salt yet. You and the child will be hungry at night. Add some noodles."
Wang Daya stood up hurriedly, "No, no, no, I'm not hungry."
"This bastard!" Li Mao threw the peeled potatoes into the water. "He was promoted to instructor and is a battalion-level cadre. His salary is higher than that of our Lao Lei. With salary and allowances, he can probably get 90 a month. Do you know that?"
Wang Daya’s eyes widened instantly, and she stuttered even more violently, “Ninety-nine, ninety?”
"You don't know?" Xia Xia shook her head and sighed, "Then he never sent you money before?"
"Five yuan, later, eight, eight yuan." Wang Daya was obviously a little dazed. "Send, send to my father and mother."
Liang Xin asked: "His father, his mother?"
Wang Daya nodded, "Yes."
Liang Xin picked up the beef, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you know that you are holding Instructor Song's weak spot right now?"
Wang Daya was confused. "Seven inches? Snake, snake's seven inches?"
"Yes, it is equivalent to the snake's seven inches."
Liang Xin said, "After lunch, go back and negotiate with him. From today on, he must give you half of his salary every month, and the shopping book at home must also be given to you. If he disagrees, you can say that you will go to the Parents' Committee and the Youth League to sue him."
Wang Daya was surprised. "Sue, sue him?"
"Yes, sue him!" Li Mao suggested, "After all these years, he must have at least several hundred dollars in savings. Take out at least half of his savings and put it in your own hands!"
"I..." Wang Daya's eyes were confused and flustered, "How can I sue him?"
Liang Xin said: "If he gives you a salary and a shopping book, you don't have to sue him."
Wang Daya was stunned.
Liang Xin didn't persuade her any further, knowing that she needed time to react, and left with the beef.
When I got home and opened the door, I smelled the aroma of fresh fish coming from the kitchen.
Liang Xin walked through the corridor carrying the beef and saw Lu Chongfeng standing at the stove with Xiaoju and Xiaobai at his feet.
One of the two little ones was wagging its tail and sniffing around, while the other was sitting on the ground licking its paws.
Xiaoju turned around and saw Liangxin, trotted over, looked up and meowed.
Xiaobai made a "wailing" sound and ran towards Liangxin enthusiastically.
"Go back..."
"Did they get the fish?"
Lu Chongfeng: “….”
"I boiled it in plain water without adding oil or salt. I plan to let it cool down before peeling it and feeding it to them."
Liang Xin put down the beef and the vegetable basket and washed her hands with soap. "I'll peel the meat."
Lu Chongfeng reluctantly handed the plate on the stove to Liang Xin, "You didn't even take a look at the fish jelly and small Yangtze River fish I made."
"I believe in your cooking skills. You are a kitchen genius."
All of Lu Chongfeng's unhappiness was gone by these words, and he walked around to the stove and sat down.
I took a look at the little white dog wagging its tail.
It looks stupid at first glance.
It's impossible for Liang Xin to call me a genius in my life!
He is different.
He has been praised as a genius by Liang Xin more than once.
Besides, Liang Xin only praised him like this!
Liang Xin suddenly heard Lu Chongfeng humming a song, and lowered her head to carefully pick the fish meat, "Are you so happy to eat braised small fish?"
"Happy!"
"Then continue eating tomorrow."
"... one meal is enough."
This little bit of fish meat is not even enough to fill my stomach.
Lu Chongfeng used the tongs to pick up the wood ash at the bottom of the pot.
Liang Xin picked the meat of the small fish from the bones, opened the lid of the pot, filled two small bowls of rice, put the fish meat in, poured the fish soup, put it aside to cool for a while, and then served it to Xiaoju and Xiaobai.
Smelling the fresh scent of the fish, Xiaoju immediately trotted over and buried his head in eating.
Xiaobai also rushed over and wanted to snatch Xiaoju's food, but was frightened by Xiaoju's "meow" and stood still.
The next second, Xiaobai crawled on the ground with his two paws and woofed, scaring Xiaoju.
Although it woofed, it only flapped its paws, and it pushed itself back a step, almost overturning its chubby little body.
Xiaoju ignored him and turned to eat the rice mixed with fish. His orange hair looked transparent in the sunlight.
Liang Xin lifted Xiao Bai by the scruff of the neck and carried him to another bowl. "This is your bowl. Remember this in the future."
Lu Chongfeng shook his head, "I don't even know how to eat."
Liang Xin looked at Xiaobai, who looked like a polar bear doll, and said, "It's still small, maybe just one month old?"
Lu Chongfeng thought for a moment and said, "It seems to have been a month or two."
Liang Xin squatted on the ground and watched Xiaoju and Xiaobai eat.
Suddenly, a familiar voice with a hint of resentment came from the stove: "What's so good about them eating?"
"It tastes so good, it's healing to watch."
If you eat well, you will be cured?
Lu Chongfeng glanced at the puppy and kitten who were concentrating on eating.
A pot of braised small fish is cooked and served in a large bowl.
Liang Xin scalded the tomatoes with hot water, peeled them, cut them into pieces, put sugar in a hot pot and boiled them, then removed them and set aside.
"Burn a big fire."
Lu Chongfeng used tongs to pick up the firewood and make the fire burn more vigorously.
Liang Xin poured oil into the pan, put in the beef and stir-fried until slightly browned and golden brown.
Pour in some oil, add star anise and peppercorns, stir-fry for a few times, then add onions, ginger, cooking wine, soy sauce, MSG, sugar, and beef stew broth. Bring to a boil, then put the beef back in and "turn down the heat."
Lu Chongfeng moved the firewood to the other side to reduce the fire. "What a nice smell."
Fortunately, there is still beef.
Otherwise you'll just have to eat the small fish that fill your teeth.
Liang Xin looked at the two furry little ones, who were almost finishing their meal. She was so greedy that she felt hungry, so she opened the lid of the pot, drained the sugar from the tomatoes and put them in, then covered the pot again and simmered them.
The sweet and sour aroma of beef quickly spread throughout the yard.
A bowl of small miscellaneous fish from the Yangtze River, a bowl of braised beef with tomatoes, and two bowls of rice were served on the table.
The table has been moved to the long window, the sun shines across the river, and the spring breeze blows away the heat.
The two sat down facing each other.
From the moment he sat down to the moment he picked up the bowl, Lu Chongfeng just focused on eating without saying a word.
Liang Xin looked at him strangely, but he just buried his head in his food without saying a word. "Is there a fish bone stuck in your throat?"
Lu Chongfeng: “….”
"I eat, but I don't heal?"
Liang Xin: “….”
Suddenly laughed out loud.
"You learn from kittens and puppies?"
"How can this be called learning?"
This is called comparison.
Lu Chongfeng looked at the bowl of rice, wondering if he was so busy eating that he didn't see his face, so he picked up the bowl and started eating again.
Liang Xin suppressed her laughter and put a small shrimp into his bowl. "It's held so high that I can't get any food for you."
“Boom.”
The bowl was placed on the table.
Lu Chongfeng raised his lips and picked up a piece of beef for Liang Xin. "Eat more. You do hard work every day now. You need to replenish your energy."
The sour and sweet taste of the tomatoes fully penetrates into the beef, which is stewed soft, tender and juicy, and brings a warm and satisfying feeling with every bite.
The taste was really good. Liang Xin scooped a spoonful of soup and poured it on the rice, then scooped up a spoonful of rice and swallowed it. The sweet and sour aroma of beef mixed with the soft and glutinous rice made her close her eyes and enjoy it.
Seeing Liang Xin's expression, Lu Chongfeng quickly scooped a spoonful of soup and poured it on the rice. He took a big bite and raised his eyebrows, "Delicious!"
Liang Xin picked out the small fish and found a piece of flower clam. She put it to her mouth and sucked in the meat. The meat was delicious and tender. She couldn't help but eat two or three pieces in a row and threw the shell aside. "It's so delicious."
Lu Chongfeng didn't expect this dish to be so fresh and delicious. "This can also be made into fish jelly."
Liang Xin agreed.
After lunch, the two took a nap.
When Liang Xin got up, she saw that it was still early, so she took a pair of scissors to the vegetable garden and poked a hole in the plastic film one by one, allowing the sprouted peppers to appear from under the plastic film.
After a careful observation, I found that the strong pepper seedlings were actually larger than the weak ones. "Your soy milk was not ground in vain. You can save money on pepper seedlings this year."
Lu Chongfeng walked over, looked at the green sprouts, and gave Liang Xin a thumbs up.
Wang Daya came very late to work in the afternoon.
Li Mao observed, "You cried?"
Wang Daya shook her head. "I, I won't cry. I never, never cry. Crying is useless."
Li Mao: "If you have never cried, how would you know it is useless?"
"I, I was little, when I was little, I missed my mother, I ran, hid, hid in the threshing floor, cried in the wheat pile, but crying was useless." Wang Daya took the hot towel Liang Xin gave her to wipe her hands, looked at Liang Xin, "I, I asked him for it, but he didn't give it to me."
Li Mao immediately said: "Then go and sue him!"
"But, but." Wang Daya stammered, "He, he said, he bought groceries every day."
Liang Xin asked, "Did you agree?"
Wang Daya nodded awkwardly, "Yes, I agreed. He, he said that he would treat me well in the future."
"That would be best."
Liang Xin patted her shoulder and said, "Get to work."
Because many people didn’t buy the fried dough twists I made last time, Li Mao was responsible for making them in the afternoon.
Liang Xin asked Li Mao to leave a dose for Wang Daya to practice.
Zhong Xuelian was recalculating the account book from the morning when she saw Liang Xin carrying a bag of Fuqiang flour and pouring it into a yellow basin. "Why do you still need to mix the dough?"
"To make bread."
"Bread?" Xia Xia looked over in surprise. "You can make Western bread?"
Wang Daya looked up and asked, "What, what is bread?"
Li Mao also ran out from the kitchen and asked in surprise, "You can also make bread?"
"I've seen my ancestral master do it."
Liang Xin said nonsense, "I'm not sure if it can be done, so I didn't write it on the blackboard outside. Let's try making it today and eat it ourselves."
Li Mao rushed back and said, "Wait until I fry this pot before you do anything else!"
"The process of making bread takes a long time, but don't rush. The first step is to mix one-third of the flour with fresh yeast."
Liang Xin looked at Wang Daya who was practicing the twist, "Have you mastered it?"
Wang Daya twisted it once, and the twist took shape in her hand. "Not bad."
"Have you met at home?"
"Yes."
Liang Xin poured the flour and said, "Then you come and knead the dough."
"Me, me?"
Wang Daya's eyes widened in shock. "I, I just did it, did it?"
"Our Director Liang is so selfless." Zhong Xuelian pushed Wang Daya, "Go quickly."
Wang Daya quickly stood up, walked around Liang Xin, and looked at the white flour in the yellow basin. "How, how do we mix it?"
Liang Xin made a cup of green tea and took out some sunflower seeds. "Just make the dough the same way you make it at home. First add water, then add fresh yeast."
Wang Daya took a deep breath, still confused. She didn't know how the golden rice bowl that several of her brothers and sisters-in-law and even the whole village wanted to go to the city to learn skills from a master was suddenly offered to her before she even officially started working!
And what I learned in the morning was the peach pastry that everyone was scrambling to buy.
In the afternoon, I learned how to make even better bread!
Although Wang Daya seemed to be in a dream, her skills were not weak at all. Under Liang Xin's guidance, she kneaded the dough quickly.
"Let the dough ferment, right?" Liang Xin took a sip of tea. "Take it to the stove in the kitchen and let it ferment for two hours."
Wang Daya brought the basin into the kitchen and came back to continue practicing making twisted dough sticks.
Liang Xin was cracking melon seeds, drinking tea, and reading People's Daily.
The apprentices in the bakery are busy making and selling bakery products.
"Liang Xin, did you make anything else?"
“I think I smell it too!”
"Liang Xin, take out all the finished products and sell them!"
Liang Xin was amused by a group of family members. The noodles were still fermenting, and at most had a slightly sour smell. Everyone had such a sharp nose, and it looked like they were really spoiled by the lack of food in the wilderness.
"Once it's done, we'll sell it naturally, don't worry."
By the time the fried dough twists at 3:30 are sold out, the yeast dough will have risen.
Wang Daya brought the basin back.
The rest of the people who had time to rest for a while gathered around.
Liang Xin took out a new yellow basin, poured in the remaining two-thirds of the flour, put sugar and salt in a small bowl, added a small amount of hot water to melt them, poured them into the flour, cracked six eggs, and dripped in cooking oil and essence, "Sister Xuelian, rub it thoroughly."
Zhong Xuelian already understood the jargon and walked over with her sleeves pulled up.
"Rubbing thoroughly means blending these ingredients with the flour."
After Liang Xin finished speaking, Wang Daya realized that she was speaking specifically for her because the others obviously understood it.
Wang Daya felt as if there was a burning honeycomb briquet in her heart, making her feel warm.
No one had ever taken her so seriously.
Liang Xin didn't get her hands wet today, but the next method could not be learned by just talking, so she took a sip of tea and rolled up her sleeves.
Pick up the fermented dough, scoop it out with your hands, pour it into the evenly rubbed two-thirds of the dough, add water, and knead it vigorously.
The fermented dough was fluffy and had a pleasant sour and wine aroma. The dough also had oval holes. Liang Xin lifted up the dough and blended it into the new dough, adding water and kneading it vigorously. "You need to use a lot of strength, knead it thoroughly, and press it hard."
Xia Xia nodded, "I can see that today I feel much more tired than before when kneading dough.
Liang Xin actually likes kneading dough very much. She watches the flour transform step by step from loose powder to wet lumps. After it is formed, she can just pull and knead it at will to turn it into a moist and smooth dough.
From the process to the result, you can gain a full sense of accomplishment by completing a perfect work in a short period of time.
"Boil a pot of water and put the basin in it."
Li Mao turned around and said, "I'll go and burn it!"
After kneading the dough, Liang Xin's fingertips have turned red from pressing it. "Keep checking the fermentation process. After the dough rises, press it in once. When it rises again, it is ready."
Zhong Xuelian continued to take note of the key points.
Wang Daya quickly picked up the thermos, added hot water to Liang Xin's enamel cup, and then handed it to Liang Xin.
Liang Xin took the enamel teacup and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to help me with this. Just sit down and rest."
Wang Daya did not rest, but went on to practice twisting dough twists.
After the dough had risen again, Liang Xin called four people to roll it into strips, cut it into pieces, knead it into round shapes, put it into oiled molds, and after it had risen again, brush it with maltose water and put it into the oven.
The freshly baked bread is steaming hot, and the aroma spreads throughout the service community.
When the heat dissipated, the four people saw the golden, plump and tempting pieces of bread, and their eyes widened.
"Is this Western bread?" Xia Xia smelled the soft and sweet aroma, "It smells so good!"
"It smells so good!" Li Mao took a few deep breaths. "Why do I feel it smells better than peach cake and egg cake?"
Wang Daya swallowed her saliva. "This is, this is, what we just did? So beautiful!"
"This is also the first time I've seen freshly baked bread." Zhong Xuelian picked up a piece and looked at it, then handed it to Liang Xin, "Is it done?"
Liang Xin broke off a small piece, and after tearing open the golden skin, she found the soft, snow-white interior. She took a bite, and found the skin was crispy, while the inside was soft and sweet. "It's done."
Zhong Xuelian divided the remaining bread into four pieces, quickly tasted her own piece, and exclaimed sincerely, "Liang Xin, you are really good!"
"Oh my god, it's so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue!" Li Mao looked at the bread in the mold, "It's even softer than white steamed buns!"
"No wonder Western bread is so expensive!" Xia Xia also tried it. "But I've seen other people eat it, and it's not as good as ours. They even have crumbs falling off when they eat it, and it's not as fragrant as this."
“Bread is really delicious when it’s freshly baked.”
Liang Xin saw that Wang Daya didn't eat and knew why she didn't eat. "Eat it. Send a few of these breads to the logistics department later, and give some to the families of the service center and the vegetable station. The rest can be divided among us."
Wang Daya then put a small piece of bread into her mouth, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it really better than white steamed buns?"
Liang Xin paused, "You've never eaten white steamed buns?"
Wang Daya shook her head embarrassedly, "No, I haven't eaten it. I haven't eaten it before."
The joyful atmosphere suddenly froze.
"When the bread is distributed later, keep all for you and your children." Xia Xia was so angry, "Don't share with Instructor Song!"
"That's it, don't give it to him!"
"He must have never eaten bread. Don't give it to that bastard!"
"If you feed her, Liang Xin might not teach you how to make it next time."
When Wang Daya heard this, she nodded immediately and said, "No, don't give it to him. Eat it."
There was laughter in the kitchen.
After get off work at the bakery and having dinner, Liang Xin and her family gathered at Deputy Commander Zhu's home.
Along with the sound of whipping, family members chatted, knitted sweaters, ate, helped their children with homework, and laughed from time to time, with laughter echoing throughout the sky.
Looking at Deputy Commander Zhu who was pinned under the sofa and whipped, Wang Daya was shocked to the extreme and her heart was deeply shocked.
I have only seen men hitting women before, this is the first time I have seen a woman hitting a man!
The person being beaten was a high-ranking official!
"Liang Xin, let's take a rest tomorrow. Let's go pick shepherd's purse together, shall we?" Li Mao helped President Shi sort out the shepherd's purse. "The beginning of spring is a good time to eat shepherd's purse. Look, it's growing so well."
Liang Xin instantly thought of shepherd's purse spring rolls, shepherd's purse fried rice cakes and shepherd's purse and yellow croaker soup.
My mouth suddenly felt a little greedy.
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."
"If you want to eat it, share some from here." Shi Lanzhi grabbed a handful of shepherd's purse and was about to give it to Liang Xin.
"No need, we'll go dig it ourselves tomorrow." Liang Xin picked up the shepherd's purse and helped sort out the yellow leaves. "Where did you dig these?"
"In the woods to the left of the playground."
Shi Lanzhi pointed at Wang Daya, who was still looking at Deputy Division Commander Zhu, who was howling and screaming because of being beaten but had his mouth blocked, and said, "Daya knows where there are more shepherd's purse. Ask her to take you there."
Wang Daya came back to her senses, "I know, I know, I'll take you there."
When Liao Ting was tired of whipping, she couldn't lift the whip with her hands.
Zhu Sanhu's body was covered with whip marks that looked like a spider web.
The family members are almost done with their work.
A man in military uniform suddenly appeared at the door.
His appearance is not very eye-catching, but the pair of tortoise-shell glasses on his nose make him look more gentle and refined.
Zhong Xuelian pushed Liang Xin and whispered, "Instructor Song."
Liang Xin nodded slightly to show that she understood.
Wang Daya looked at the man at the door and was very surprised. "You, why are you here?"
"It's dark, I'm afraid you can't see."
Instructor Song raised the flashlight in his hand and said, "I'll come pick you up."
“Yo!”
Shi Lanzhi smiled, "Xiao Song is really good. She really changed as she was told. That's right. Daya is a good comrade. No matter from which aspect, you should treat her well!"
"Sister-in-law is right." Instructor Song turned on the flashlight and pointed it outside. "Daya, let's go home?"
Wang Daya looked at Liang Xin and Zhong Xuelian, took her daughter who was playing, and said, "Then I will go back."
"Go ahead."
"I will take you to dig wild vegetables tomorrow morning."
Liang Xin waved her hand and watched the three people leave before she walked home with Li Mao.
"You said that Coach Song can change his personality all of a sudden?" Li Mao thought it was incredible. "Could it be that you asked Daya to ask for money, and Coach Song saw that Daya had learned her lesson and knew how to ask for money, and was afraid that Daya would go to the cafeteria to eat and drink as much as she wanted, so he was willing to live a good life for the sake of money?"
Without waiting for Liang Xin to speak, Li Mao exclaimed, "Oh my!" "I know, he must have seen Daya coming to work at the bakery, and he wanted to take Daya's money, so he suddenly started to be nice to Daya!"
Liang Xin said: "It's not certain whether there will be any salary or not."
"Our business is so good, and Instructor Song is so smart, he must think that the salary will come sooner or later." Li Mao confirmed: "This must be the reason. Just wait and see. When Daya gets a salary, he will definitely ask her to leave. Otherwise, all the expenses of the family will be paid by Daya."
Liang Xin yawned and didn't continue the topic.
When he got home, Lu Chongfeng's night training had not yet finished.
Liang Xin went to the kitchen and saw that Xiaoju and Xiaobai were already asleep. After a simple wash, she lay on the bed and knitted a sweater.
He used the gray wool that Lu Chongfeng had bought to knit himself a woolen cardigan for spring and autumn.
After weaving a few rows, there was a knock on the door.
Liang Xin put on a red woolen two-piece suit and went to open the door in slippers.
As soon as I opened the door, cool breeze blew in along with the refreshing scent of soap.
Liang Xin shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's so cold."
Lu Chongfeng opened his military coat and wrapped Liang Xin in his arms, "Hold her tight."
Liang Xin: "...Close the door quickly."
Lu Chongfeng laughed, wrapped Liang Xin in his coat, sent her to the room, and then ran out to close the door.
The temperature difference between day and night is too big in the spring. Liang Xin came out for a while and hid in the quilt, shivering with cold. "Have you eaten? I brought back some bread."
"No."
"It's so cold, the fish jelly is almost ready."
Liang Xin took out a thick cotton jacket from the cupboard and put it on. She walked to the living room and lifted the cover of the braised mandarin fish. Seeing that the fish soup had solidified into jelly, she took out the bread and said, "Can you cook another bowl of noodle soup to go with the fish jelly?"
"I'll go cook, you go lie down in bed."
"Let's go together. I've put on my cotton jacket."
Lu Chongfeng carried Liang Xin into the room, holding her by the hips like a child, stuffed her into the bed, and covered her with the quilt.
"It's quick to cook a bowl of noodles. I use a honeycomb coal stove to cook it."
Liang Xin didn't insist and picked up the wool and started knitting again.
Ten minutes later, Lu Chongfeng came to the living room carrying a small soup pot with two handles, "Don't get out of bed."
Liang Xin has come down, "Wearing a cotton-padded jacket."
I took out the can of luncheon meat sent by my mother-in-law from the low cabinet and handed it to the square table.
“This is good.”
Lu Chongfeng opened the can, picked up a piece of luncheon meat with chopsticks, and put it into the soy sauce noodle soup, "Do you want to have a bite?"
"I drank malted milk with bread in the evening"
Liang Xin looked at his bowl, which only contained noodles and eggs, and said, "There are cabbages in the basket, why don't you put some in there?"
"I cooked fish jelly for lunch, and I put celery and radish in the fish."
Lu Chongfeng took a bite of the bread and raised his eyebrows, "Delicious! How come you can cook everything!"
“I learned it from reading books.”
"You read quite a lot of books."
Lu Chongfeng stuffed the bread into his mouth, picked up a piece of fish jelly, and passed the crystal clear fish jelly to Liang Xin's mouth, "Would you like to try one?"
Liang Xin opened her mouth and ate it. It tasted cool and smooth natural jelly. After a little sip and chew, it turned into a spicy and juicy fish soup. "It's delicious."
Lu Chongfeng, who had been staring at Liang Xin's reaction, relaxed a little, "It seems that you were right. I am indeed very talented in cooking!"
Liang Xin glanced at him and said, "In the future, it will be enough to use your talent in work and cooking."
Don't use it in dating anymore.
Liang Xin complained in her heart.
"That won't work."
Lu Chongfeng took a big mouthful of noodles, picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of soup, "I am also very talented in dating, haven't you noticed?"
Liang Xin: "...eat quickly."
Suddenly, Lu Chongfeng thought of the news tonight, and his face fell, "Let me tell you something."
"What's up?"
"Wei Yuanyang is here."
Liang Xin felt like she hadn't heard this name for a long time and wondered, "Has his recruit training ended?"
"I was assigned to the 3rd Company of the 22nd Regiment." Lu Chongfeng frowned, his expression neither happy nor unhappy, "I was assigned to the 3rd Company's kitchen squad to feed pigs."
Liang Xin was even more surprised, "Feeding pigs?"
Lu Chongfeng nodded and said, "I haven't asked you to feed the pigs yet, but he went ahead and did it."
"Did he offend someone?" Liang Xin wondered, "Or is it because of his poor physical condition?"
"I asked around, and it was his own request to go." Lu Chongfeng wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. "What kind of soldier is it to be a soldier to feed pigs?"
The legendary boss not only completely changed his career and marriage lines, but also chose to keep company with pigs.
Liang Xin frowned and thought, thinking of Yang Tao who would be back soon.
Could it be that the plot arranged for the male protagonist to meet his second wife again?
The Lu family can no longer be relied upon, so we go to Commander Yang’s territory and look for a second backer?
Liang Xin thought of the rivalry between Yang Tao and Wei Yuanyang's third wife. Could it be that Wei Yuanyang's third wife would also appear in the 11th Division in advance?
Suddenly, the resentful voice sounded again: "What are you thinking about?"
