Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Who screamed like a ghost? I never scream like a ghost...
Lu Chongfeng went to the chicken farm and bought the first batch of red-shell eggs from Ross chickens. As soon as he moved home, he was surrounded.
“Is this a foreign egg?”
Hu Fenglian picked up an egg and placed it in her palm. "The shell is the same color as the egg cake, and it seems to be harder than ordinary eggs?"
"It's big too."
My sister-in-law takes eggs from home every day. “This one is big. Is it more expensive than eggs laid by domestic chickens?”
“It’s cheaper than free-range eggs.”
It was dark, and the door to the living room was closed. Liang Xin put on her down jacket and hat, went downstairs and sat on the sofa, looking at the eggs that Lu Chongfeng had brought back. "When they're cooked, everyone can try one."
I bought two baskets of eggs to make red eggs for Dudu’s full moon banquet and to give to relatives and friends.
"I'll cook."
As the eldest sister-in-law said this, she walked towards the kitchen and directed the eldest and second brothers to carry the two baskets of eggs into the kitchen.
Lu Chongfeng bent down and picked up a basket of eggs. Lu Heping followed closely behind him and picked up the eggs, without letting his eldest and second brothers do anything.
The men washed the eggs in a large aluminum basin, then put them in a large pot with clean water and cooked them, then took them out and let them cool.
The kitchen in the new house is so big that there is still room for two families to sit.
Liang Xin moved to the kitchen and sat down, watching her mother-in-law pour sand into the big pot and fry peanuts with the sand.
Because Liangxin suddenly wanted to eat fried peanuts, her mother-in-law made them.
Commander Lu went to a military meeting and will not be back until New Year's Eve.
Except for Chief Lu, all the two families gathered in the kitchen to make red eggs.
Lu Chongfeng had never made red eggs, nor had he even eaten them.
The custom of giving red eggs when a baby is born has been restored in the countryside.
Liang Tiezhu mixed red food coloring with warm water to make a basin of red dye water. The whole family gathered around the big basin and put the eggs into the dye water one by one to color them.
Hu Fenglian scooped out a peanut with a spatula, blew on it, and handed it to Liang Xin, "Try it."
Lu Chongfeng stood up and used his fingertips stained with red dye to pinch open the hot peanut shells. He continued to blow on the peanuts until they were almost cool before giving them to Liang Xin.
Liang Xin bit into the peanuts. They were not that crispy when they were just fried, but the slightly soft texture had a unique flavor. "Mom, it's delicious."
Hu Fenglian smiled and put the fried peanuts into a dustpan. "They will become crispy after cooling for a while. I'll fry another pot while there's sand. I'll save it for you to eat during the New Year."
Liang Xin looked at the roasted peanuts in the winnowing basket and couldn't help but put her hands on them to warm them up. Lu Chongfeng also put his hands over, and the two of them rubbed the peanuts together.
"Are you tired? Do you want to go up and rest?"
"No, just watch you guys cook."
Lu Chongfeng turned his back to his family, held Liang Xin's fingertips, stood up and moved the pig heads, pig trotters and pig pig trotters from the big basin outside.
The kitchen was steaming hot.
The men were handling the pig hair with tweezers, and the women were dyeing eggs.
After the eggs cooled down a bit, Lu Yueji picked up an egg and knocked it on the table. Under everyone's focused gaze, she slowly peeled off the eggshell. When she saw the snow-white egg white, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Exactly the same!"
Liang Xin: "...It's just a different breed of chicken, the eggs are still the same eggs."
Lu Chongfeng also picked up an egg and cracked the shell. "Chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and even quail eggs all look the same when you boil them and peel them. What a fuss."
After he said this, the others who were also surprised were too embarrassed to make any illogical comments.
“I can’t tell the difference.”
Lu Yueji broke it in half and handed the other half to Lu Heping, "Brother Heping, try it."
Lu Heping took the egg and looked at it first, "It seems that there is more egg white?"
Liang Xin nodded. "The yolk of foreign eggs is not as big as that of local eggs, so local eggs actually taste better. Nutritionally, they are the same. If you have to compare them, local eggs have higher cholesterol than foreign eggs and are more suitable for children and mothers. Foreign eggs are nutritionally balanced and more suitable for the needs of middle-aged and elderly people, but these are just differences in trace elements."
"I see, the main difference is the taste!"
Lu Yueji said: "However, I think these eggs are cleaner than country eggs. There is no chicken manure at all."
“That’s true.”
Hu Fenglian looked at the red eggs in the basin and said, "This is much easier than using local eggs before, and it's much more beautiful."
"Every egg from the chicken farm must undergo strict safety testing before it can be released to the market."
Liang Xin smiled and said, "You are the first group of people to eat eggs from the chicken farm."
The second brother smiled and said, "That's really thanks to Dudu!"
Liang Xin stayed in the kitchen and didn't dare open the doors and windows downstairs. The smell of processing pork was too strong and the room would not smell good after being stuffy for a long time.
In addition, the honeycomb briquette stove also needs to be lit, and charcoal burning must be ventilated, otherwise carbon monoxide poisoning may occur due to lack of oxygen.
Liang Xin ate a few crispy peanuts and didn’t sit downstairs for too long. She picked up Dudu and went upstairs to feed him.
New Year’s Eve.
It is also Dudu’s full moon gift.
Lu Chongfeng first brought breakfast and placed it on Liang Xin's bed.
Liang Xin helped Dudu put on a red brocade cotton-padded jacket, a red tiger-head hat, and tiger-head cotton-padded shoes. Dudu immediately turned into a baby like the Fuwa in the New Year picture.
As the days went by, the redness on Dudu's face gradually faded, and she became as delicate as snow.
Lu Chongfeng carefully lifted his daughter into his arms and said, "She is so beautiful. Dudu is the most beautiful child I have ever seen."
"You say this every morning, and my ears are almost callused from hearing it so much."
"Whenever I say it, Dudu laughs, which means she likes to hear it!"
Lu Chongfeng held his daughter and put her in the crib. He returned to sit beside the bed, took the porridge from the small wooden table, and picked up a spoon to help Liang Xin cool it down.
Liang Xin braided her hair. Although most of the family members in the military camp had already had their hair permed at the service center's barber shop, she still braided her hair into two pigtails.
During the confinement period, it will not affect your sleep, nor will your hair interfere with your daily life.
There was the sound of chopping meat downstairs, Liang Xin subconsciously looked towards the window, "Is everything ready?"
"When we eat with our family, we cook whatever dishes we like. We choose New Year's Eve because we don't want to show off."
Lu Chongfeng brought the porridge, which was no longer scalding, back to Liang Xin and said, "The red eggs have been sent to the division headquarters and the bakery."
Liang Xin picked up the freshly steamed bun made by her sister-in-law and took a big bite. The filling inside was the same radish, vermicelli and fried dough filling that she had been eating since she was a child. The familiar taste made her eat it voraciously, and she finished the bun quickly.
Lu Chongfeng touched Liang Xin's head and said, "You miss home."
"I'm greedy."
Liang Xin picked up the fried egg and chewed it slowly. Suddenly, she heard a noise outside. "Someone is calling me?"
Lu Chongfeng also heard it, and stood up and walked to the French window, "It's the bakery staff."
Liang Xin finished chewing the fried egg and drank half a bowl of porridge. When she got out of bed, Lu Chongfeng had already prepared her down jacket, scarf and hat and helped her get dressed.
A family of three, holding the cheerfully dressed Dudu, came down from upstairs and were immediately greeted with warm praise.
Mainly compliments to Dudu, who looked very festive.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Dudu has changed again!"
Li Mao looked at Dudu in Lu Chongfeng's arms curiously, took out a box of baby clothes and placed it in front of the waking Dudu, "Aunt bought you some beautiful little clothes, do you like them, Dudu?"
"You traitor!"
Zhong Xuelian suddenly pointed at Li Mao and said, "I was wondering if your cotton-padded jacket looked like you were pregnant. It turns out you secretly bought her a gift for her without telling us!"
Liang Xin asked with a smile: "What's going on?"
"It's a rare opportunity for people to give you something, and everyone wants to buy clothes. It's easier to buy ready-made clothes for children in stores now, but I think children change every day, and if you buy so many small clothes, they may grow up and not wear them before you have time to wear them. There's no point in wasting them."
Zhong Xuelian opened the paper box in her hand and took out the big red leather box inside. "I suggested that we all pool our money together to buy Dudu something that can be kept for a long time. There are more and more martyrs' relatives now, and everyone wants to give them something, so we pooled our money together to buy this collar with a longevity lock."
"Such a big circle must cost several hundred dollars!"
Liang Tiezhu spoke first, staring at the longevity lock hanging under the gold ring in the box with wide eyes, "You are too polite!"
Liang Xin glanced at her father.
"Uncle, these are the collective workers from our Beijing, Jiangjing and Jiangkou bakeries, Jiangmen Farm flour mill and chicken farm. Oh, and Chief Zhang from the farm has also contributed."
Zhong Xuelian explained, "Since Dudu didn't receive a gift for his full moon, we came up with this idea. We didn't ask for much, and Sister Xia Xia took the lead in giving five yuan per person. Even if it's just a gift, it would cost that much!"
"It seems that Liang Xin is more popular in the 11th Division than Chong Feng."
Hu Fenglian smiled as she stepped forward to look at her granddaughter's gift. "Our Dudu is very lucky. Please accept it. If anyone has any problems in the future, you will have to give it back as a gift."
Since the mother-in-law said it was okay, Liang Xin no longer refused. She took out the gift and put it around Dudu's neck. There was an immediate burst of exclamations in the living room.
On the day of the full-month ceremony, Liang Xin and Lu Chongfeng helped Dudu shave his hair according to the old custom.
Liang Xin held Dudu in her arms, while Lu Chongfeng took a pair of small scissors and cut off a small tuft of Dudu's hair from the top of his head. He tied it up with a red string, and then wrapped it in a brand new handkerchief for safekeeping.
Hu Fenglian urged, "Old Lu, where's your wine? Bring it out quickly."
Commander Lu returned to the room and took out a bottle of Maotai liquor that he had bought for the military supply on the day he received the news that Liang Xin had given birth to a daughter. "Let Dudu put his feet on the ink and step on the packaging box. Wait until the day Dudu gets married and then take it out to drink."
"Daughter's red wine?"
Lu Yueji said happily: "Dad, I didn't realize you have such a sense of ritual! Did you make this wine when I was born?"
Hu Fenglian said, "It has been made, and it is still buried in my hometown. You should find a partner and get married quickly. Then you can dig it out and drink it!"
Lu Yueji regretted saying too much.
Lu Chongfeng took his daughter from Liang Xin's arms, and Liang Xin took off the tiger-head shoes and cotton socks on Dudu's right foot.
Lu Heping opened the ink pad and placed it at Dudu's feet.
Lu Chongfeng held Dudu's little feet, dipped them in ink, and then Chief Lu quickly handed over the unopened bottle of Maotai liquor.
The red little footprints were on the packaging box of Moutai liquor.
The people in the living room couldn't help but raise their hands and applaud.
Chen Ying and Ma Xiaoyan looked at each other and noticed the joy in each other's eyes.
Not only the father-in-law was worried, but they were also worried at home. After all, the Lu family was a military family. The eldest son was sacrificed, Lu Heping was adopted, and Lu Yueji would eventually get married. They were worried that Liang Xin only gave birth to such a daughter, and the Lu family would not be satisfied.
As a result, Lu Chongfeng not only values his daughter.
It seems that Chief Lu and his wife value their granddaughter even more than Lu Chongfeng does.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yueji suggested: "Let's take a photo, a family photo!"
"The camera is upstairs. I'll get it."
Lu Chongfeng handed his daughter to her mother.
The eldest sister-in-law brought warm water. Liang Xin wet her handkerchief and cleaned the ink on her daughter's feet. She put on her socks and tiger-head shoes again and looked outside. "Xiaobai, Xiaoju!"
Xiaobai ran into the living room from the doghouse, wagging his tail, and Xiaoju didn't react for a long time.
Lu Yueji ran to the cat's nest in the yard to look for the cat, but there was no cat in the nest. She imitated Liang Xin and called out "Xiaoju".
There was a noise coming from the persimmon tree.
Xiaoju jumped from the tree branch to the top of the wall, walked with cat steps all the way to the stone mill water feature near the flower bed, jumped onto the stone mill, then jumped off the stone mill, trotted into the living room, and meowed at Liangxin.
Liang Xin answered it: "Taking a photo."
The little orange boy squatted on the ground, raised his front paws, licked them, and washed his face.
Chief Lu, Hu Fenglian and Liang Tiezhu sat in the middle.
Lu Chongfeng was holding Dudu, and his body naturally leaned towards Liang Xin on the right. Next to Liang Xin were his eldest brother and sister-in-law with Qingjun, followed by his second brother and sister-in-law and Huzi.
Lu Heping and Lu Yueji stood next to Lu Chongfeng.
The layout of the photo is divided by Lu Chongfeng and Liang Xin.
Liang Xin's brother and sister-in-law stood behind Liang Tiezhu.
The brother and sister on Lu Chongfeng's side stood behind Chief Lu.
Deputy Political Commissar Ji helped hold up the camera and took a family photo.
Then, the Liang family and the Lu family took family photos separately.
Zhong Xuelian couldn't help but took a photo with Liang Xindudu, bringing her two children along.
Not wanting to be outdone, Li Mao took photos with his three children and Liang Xindudu.
So, the employees of the temporary factory for military dependents at the Jiangkou base took another group photo.
On the New Year's Day, the martyrs' families had already received full-month milk candies and red eggs. After giving out the gifts and the full-month cake, they went back to prepare New Year's dishes.
The big pot, honeycomb coal stove and gas stove in the kitchen were all lit.
Last night, I braised a large pot of pork heads, pig trotters, pig intestines, pig stomachs and other meats in a big pot.
My sister-in-law was busy putting the chopped pork with three parts fat and seven parts lean into the oil pan with a white porcelain spoon to make fried meatballs and some Linhuai hometown dishes.
The chef prepared eight cold dishes according to the traditional full-moon banquet, including a plate of braised pork head, a plate of peanuts, a plate of boiled chicken, a plate of salted duck, a plate of smoked fish, a plate of preserved eggs, and a plate of tomatoes mixed with sugar.
Xia Xia and Yang Tao did not come back for the Chinese New Year this year.
Lu Chongfeng specially invited Commander Yang, who was spending the New Year alone at home, to come over and sit with Commander Lu and Liang Tiezhu.
Liang Xin can't eat food with strong smells, so Lu Chongfeng didn't go to the table and went to the kitchen to help Liang Xin prepare confinement meals.
The dishes include steamed chicken legs, blanched spinach, salted shrimp, steamed scallops and black fish tofu soup.
"So many meat dishes."
Liang Xin stood at the kitchen door and glanced at the gas stove, but her eyes were still on the chef on the stove who was cooking the fragrant feast that filled the house.
"Today is a double celebration. It's New Year's Eve and my daughter's full moon celebration. As a great contributor, of course the food for you should be more sumptuous than usual."
The black fish soup was stewed in the morning, and the chicken legs were specially reserved by the chef and cut into pieces.
Lu Chongfeng took out the cooked shrimps, and while the scallops were being steamed, he removed the heads and shells of the shrimps one by one, leaving only the shrimp tails on the plate.
After peeling more than a dozen shrimps and steaming the vermicelli scallops, they were taken out and placed on a tray, along with a bowl of freshly cooked rice and an enamel jar of black fish and tofu soup.
Finally, he cut an orange, placed it in a small bowl, and brought it to the table outside along with the enamel tray.
The people at the table hurriedly pushed away their plates to make room for Liang Xin's tray.
"Please take down the tray. It takes up space."
Liang Xin sat down and put all the confinement meals on the table, and Lu Chongfeng took the enamel tray away.
"Second sister-in-law has worked so hard."
Lu Yueji said: "There are so many delicious dishes but I can't eat them."
"Eat more for me."
Before the Liangxin confinement meal was ready, the chef had already served the second wave of hot dishes.
Jiangnan Baihua Chicken, Jinling Crispy Duck, Braised Shark's Fin with Crab Meat, Yellow Eel Slices with Black Beans and Pepper, Curry-braised Beef Brisket, Braised Tripe with Chicken Minced Pork, Steamed Preserved Meat, Steamed Fresh Seafood...
"Oh my god."
The whole family was dumbfounded. The second sister-in-law couldn't help but exclaimed: "I said we all know how to cook, so there's no need to hire a chef to cook. But look at the dishes they make. They're all the same stuff, but how come they're so high-end? No wonder the dishes in high-end restaurants are so expensive!"
Master Wang, the chef from the small kitchen, laughed out loud when he heard this. After inviting everyone to eat, he returned to the kitchen, took off his apron and prepared to leave.
Lu Chongfeng took two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, six red eggs and a handful of milk candies. He also put pig head, pig intestines, pig ears, pig trotters and a whole boiled chicken into an enamel basin, and added two bottles of Jiangjing Daqu, and gave them to Master Wang to take back for the New Year.
"Deputy Commander Lu, this is really too polite."
Master Wang waved his hand and said, "I'll just take two candies and two red eggs to add to the festive mood."
"I feel really bad for delaying your return home for the New Year on the 30th."
Lu Chongfeng handed everything to Master Wang and said, "Happy New Year. Thank you for your hard work today."
Only then did Master Wang accept the dishes, cigarettes and alcohol.
I kept sighing in my heart that Deputy Commander Lu and his family were all kind people.
It’s not like he had not cooked for the leaders’ families before, but most of the time he would just leave after cooking, and at most he could get a few wedding candies and two cigarettes.
This is the first time I have received so many things.
Not only was there untouched meat, but also a whole lot of cigarettes and alcohol.
The cigarettes are still Zhonghua.
Still two packs!
Although it is Chinese New Year, the New Year’s Eve dinner in Jiangkou is always in the evening, and people just have a normal and casual meal at noon.
Master Wang, with a grin on his face, holding an enamel basin of meat and covered with stuff, hurried back home.
Lu Chongfeng opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for his father, father-in-law and Teacher Yang first, and then poured red wine for Liang Ming, Liang De and Lu Heping according to their ages.
Lu Yueji, instead of Liang Xin, poured the malt extract for her mother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and herself.
Chief Lu raised his glass and said, "We are all family, so let's not be polite. I heard Chong Feng and Liang Xin say that today is a double celebration. Actually, it's not a double celebration. We want to congratulate our two families for finally being able to meet and have dinner together, and we also want to congratulate Chong Feng for his reinstatement. It's a quadruple celebration!"
“Ding Dong!”
The glass cup and the enamel pot collided with each other, and at the same time, the sound of New Year's Eve firecrackers rang out outside.
Just as Liang Xin was about to move, Lu Chongfeng rushed over and picked up Dudu from the baby cradle.
"Don't be afraid, Dad is here."
When I realized that Dudu was not woken up, loud laughter came from the table.
There was usually some leftovers in the pot of food prepared by Master Wang. After the full moon banquet at noon, in addition to the same dishes served at noon, there were also Linhuai specialties made by my sister-in-law.
Fried meatballs and braised lamb.
As well as eight-treasure rice pudding, spring rolls and rice dumplings that are eaten on New Year’s Eve in Jiangjing.
For fear of scaring Dudu, Lu Chongfeng did not choose to set off firecrackers during the day.
But on Chinese New Year's Day, if one doesn't set off firecrackers at home, one cannot stop others from setting off firecrackers. The sound of firecrackers in the family compound has never stopped since the sun came out at noon, and when the sun sets, the sound of firecrackers in the military camp can be heard one after another.
Lu Chongfeng then took out the firecrackers and fireworks he had bought earlier and set them off outside in the yard.
Chief Lu carried his granddaughter into the room, closed the door, and Hu Fenglian also covered her granddaughter's ears.
Liang Xin stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the fireworks lit outside.
I thought of the birthday fireworks on the Qinhuai River in Jiangjing.
But the fireworks I bought from the service center tonight were sparse and nothing like what we saw that night.
Lu Chongfeng suddenly hugged Liang Xin from behind, bent down and put his chin on her shoulder, and put his hands in her down jacket pockets, "We have been together for another year."
Liang Xin looked at the fireworks in the sky and asked, "Why, have you had enough?"
Lu Chongfeng said sternly: "Comrade Liang Xin, please speak properly and don't bring up any gunpowder!"
Liang Xin raised the corners of her lips, "Happy New Year's Eve."
"Happy New Year."
Lu Chongfeng kissed Liang Xin on the side of her face and said, "This year, we have Dudu."
Liang Xin's mouth curled up higher and she silently took his hand from her pocket.
Keep vigil on New Year's Eve.
Lu Chongfeng and Liang Xin maintained their previous habit and cut window decorations with red paper.
My second brother and his comrades at home gathered at the big table to play poker.
Lu Chongfeng's skill in cutting window paper-cuts has caught up with Liang Xin's. With a few twists of the scissors, he can cut out a small double portrait.
But he can only cut the old styles, and if asked to cut a tutu, he has no idea what to do.
Liang Xin drew a family portrait of three people on paper, cut out small images of the family portrait and previous patterns such as magpies on plum trees, and then cut out several pairs of the word "Fu" (good fortune).
After the Four Olds were destroyed, patterns such as the word "Fu", the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, and mythological legends gradually appeared on the shelves of local vendors and were no longer subject to restrictions.
When Chief Lu saw the paper-cut window decorations they had made, he picked up his pen and wrote Spring Festival couplets on the spot.
First couplet: "Military songs ring out to welcome the new year"
Second line: "The thundering drums of war celebrate a good harvest"
Banner: "Peace every year"
Lu Yueji picked up the horizontal scroll and said, "Dad, your horizontal scroll and the couplets don't seem to match each other."
"The horizontal banner is for Dudu."
Chief Lu was addicted to writing and did not stop. He also wrote the couplets for the doors on both sides of the living room, the bakery, the chicken farm, and the flour mill. He also thought of a suitable horizontal scroll and upper and lower couplets for each of them.
Deputy Political Commissar Ji came over with a flashlight and asked Lu Chongfeng to go to the military camp cafeteria to toast the soldiers. Seeing a room full of Spring Festival couplets, he also asked Chief Lu for one.
Commander Lu was in high spirits when writing, and was very happy that his calligraphy could be appreciated by people other than his family. He wrote two pieces with a flourish and gave them to Deputy Political Commissar Ji.
After the Spring Festival couplets were pasted, time passed by playing cards, making clothes and chatting, and the sound of New Year's firecrackers crackled cheerfully throughout the military camp.
New Year’s red envelopes and lucky money were given to Dudu and the children.
As soon as Liang Xin lay down on the bed, she felt that the height of the pillow was wrong. She lifted it up and saw that there was a thick red envelope stuffed under the pillow.
After taking a shower, Lu Chongfeng lay down on the bed, "Liang Xin's New Year's red envelope."
“Why is it so thick?”
Liang Xin opened the red envelope and took a look, and roughly guessed, "Two hundred?"
"A bonus from the army and division."
Lu Chongfeng forcibly shoved his arm behind Liang Xin's back and leaned over. "It's incomparable to the family of the number one scholar who can make tens of thousands of profits with just a little thought, but every penny of salary and bonus I earn will be handed over to the family of the number one scholar!"
"The starting salary of tens of thousands of yuan that I earned was handed over to the division, but the salary you earned was actually in our own hands."
Liang Xin took the initiative to kiss Lu Chongfeng on the face, "Thank you, husband."
Lu Chongfeng raised his hands, held Liang Xin's head, and kissed her.
Liang Xin pushed his chest and said, "Don't scream like a ghost again later."
"Who screamed? I never scream."
Lu Chongfeng buried his face in Liang Xin's neck and rubbed his face. "I heard that the proper confinement period lasts for 42 days. You should rest well and don't rush to leave after 30 days."
"So it's almost the Lantern Festival?"
Liang Xin calculated the time and said, "Okay, after the New Year, I'll discuss building a house for the flour mill with the logistics department."
"Are your breasts engorged today?"
Lu Chongfeng smelled the milky scent on Liang Xin's body and said, "You've been sitting down there for so long, do you want to get a hot towel to apply to her?"
"I have."
Liang Xin slowly lay down in bed, "I suddenly remembered, you said you would solve it yourself and show me?"
Lu Chongfeng: “….”
Lu Chongfeng denied it, "Why don't I remember anything like this happening!"
"If you feel uncomfortable, just fight."
"What are you fighting for?"
Liang Xin made an up and down gesture.
Lu Chongfeng: “….”
Lu Chongfeng leaned over and bit Liang Xin's lips, then let go after a moment. "Just take advantage of your inability to tease me as much as you can. When you are out of confinement, it will be useless for you to pretend to be good!"
Liang Xin leaned into his arms and said, "This New Year, let's have a lively time."
Lu Chongfeng was silent for a moment, then he hugged Liang Xin tightly and kissed her forehead, "Thank you for your hard work."
Liang Xin was stunned for a moment before she understood what he was thinking. "I meant that Dudu's full-month ceremony was lively. Besides, it's not like I haven't been back to Jiangjing for the New Year before. Don't always act like you've wronged me."
"You will live a good life no matter who you marry. If I hadn't married you, I wouldn't be here today. I would have died long ago."
Liang Xin slapped his mouth and said, "You mean I can live well if I marry Wei Yuanyang?"
"Wei Yuanyang can't do that!"
Lu Chongfeng cursed: "He doesn't deserve it!"
Liang Xin said slowly: "Then who is worthy?"
Lu Chongfeng thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was simply furious, "Except for me, no one is worthy!"
Liang Xin snorted and lay flat in his arms, "Because of marrying you, marriage has its true meaning to me."
"Are you praising me?"
Lu Chongfeng looked down puzzledly and looked at Liang Xin's face, "But I don't understand, what does this mean?"
Liang Xin was extremely tired, her breathing became even, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Chongfeng held the sleeping Liang Xin in his arms, and looked at Dudu who was sleeping soundly in the crib next to him. His heart was full and soft to the extreme. He leaned his cheek against Liang Xin's forehead and closed his eyes.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chief Lu and Hu Fenglian hurried back to the military region.
After Lu Heping's vacation, he had to rush back to the Municipal Party Committee to work.
Although Lu Yueji still had vacation time, she didn't want to go back to Jiangjing alone, so she went back with them.
Liang Tiezhu heard that the 11th Division would have a welcome party and consolation performances during the New Year, so he stayed for two more days.
My eldest brother, second brother and eldest sister-in-law were already fellow performers, and it was a rare opportunity to see a performance in the military camp, so naturally they were willing to stay a few more days.
It was not until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that Liang Xin was discharged from confinement and the family returned to normal.
Only a family of three is left.
Liang Xin has to go back to school in February to handle graduation matters, and work at the military dependents factory will also follow. Sister Ji took good care of her during the confinement period, and after the confinement period, she discussed long-term cooperation with Sister Ji.
Sister Ji had no objection.
Compared to the work in the military camp, taking care of people gave her a familiar sense of security.
What’s more, the one I’m taking care of is Dudu, who I’ve held in my arms since birth.
Entering the 1980s, the popularity of traveling abroad continued to grow, with the airline's daily bread orders increasing from 600 to 1,400.
Because the airline meal of Liangxin Bakery was not only well received by international passengers, but also popular in the market, at the end of 1981, it was awarded as Jiangjing High-Quality Product. The Ministry of Light Industry included the three types of bread from the airline meal in the compilation of the 1981 National Food Exhibition. At the same time, it was rated as an excellent food of the Ministry of Commerce and won the titles of provincial, ministerial and military excellence.
Before Liangxin arrived, the Jiangjing Railway Bureau came to them and signed a catering cooperation agreement with Liangxin Bakery, supplying bread to the dining cars on 10 main trunk lines of the Jiangjing Railway Bureau every day.
"Beijing Bakery has orders from the civil aviation industry, and Jiangjing Bakery has orders from the railway bureau. Last year, the combined net profits of Beijing Bakery and Jiangjing Bakery were 1.09 million, not including the net profit of the 11th Division Bakery."
Liang Xin came to the logistics office again. The person who met her was no longer Director Wu, but Minister Zou. "I have already informed Minister Zou that we need to spend 200,000 yuan to build employee housing after the New Year. How come the application report submitted by the bakery cannot be approved once the net profit is credited to the logistics account?"
"Comrade Liang Xin, don't worry. You have just recovered. Don't get angry."
Minister Zou poured Liang Xin a cup of tea and said, "I saw how the martyrs' families at the flour mill survived this summer and winter. It's not that I refused to approve it, but the division's finance department refused to approve it. Someone wrote a letter of complaint to the army, saying that the farm's large-scale construction of houses was too extravagant and wasteful, and did not conform to the current frugal regulations of our army and our party."
Liang Xin frowned, "Another report. Last time, he reported the Sixth Company. This time, he even didn't let go of the relatives of the martyrs who slept on the floor of the broken factory building during the winter?"
"Some comrades have been in the army for so many years and still can't get a house."
Minister Zou sat on the chair and said, "You want to spend such a large sum of money to build houses and distribute houses to the relatives of martyrs who work in flour mills and chicken farms. It's not that you have no selfishness at all just because you wear a military uniform. Military uniforms can't hide people's seven emotions and six desires."
