Chapter 005 She Won't Stick It On
The next day, Su Wan woke up at dawn.
She washed up in a hurry and planned to take the army car to the county to buy vegetables. She had been there once, so she could still go by herself.
As soon as she went out, she found that Chen Yuan was waiting for her outside.
When he saw her coming, he said, "Get in the car."
The people who went shopping today were Wang Bin and Xu Weiguo. When they saw her, they both shouted "Hello, sister-in-law".
"Good morning!" Su Wan smiled faintly at the two of them, "I'm sorry to bother you again today."
"It's not a problem. We go shopping every day. Sister-in-law, if you need to go out the next day, or if you need us to bring you anything, just tell us or register with the guard and we will wait here."
Knowing that his sister-in-law was new, Wang Bin gave her enthusiastic advice.
Su Wan thanked him, thought for a moment, and then said, "If you're free this afternoon, why don't you come to my house for dinner?"
The two of them agreed at once, saying that they would come if they had time. Su Wan also smiled and agreed.
Chen Yuan has always been a man of few words, and at this moment he was also silent, thinking about why Su Wan had changed so much, and about the words she wrote last night. The handwriting was very elegant and was in small regular script.
He only knew that Su Wan graduated from high school with not very good grades. Her parents had spent a lot of time and money to get her into school, and she attended an ordinary high school. Why did Su Wan seem like a different person after that night?
Is it true that a girl will really change so much after becoming a woman?
Chen Yuan was puzzled, but Su Wan had no idea what he was thinking.
If she knew, she wouldn't say anything. She felt that life was pretty good now. Although she thought it was a dream that night and enjoyed the young man's body, she wouldn't get close to him if he didn't want to.
When they arrived at the county, Su Wan and Chen Yuan bought a few steamed buns to fill their stomachs, and used the meat coupons to buy nine pounds of pork. Since they bought so much meat, the boss gave them some unwanted pork offal. Su Wan did not refuse, and bought another dollar's worth of pork offal from the boss. He thanked the boss with a smile and left.
Without fish and meat coupons, Chen Yuan took her to the farmers' market to buy two bighead carp, twenty eggs, a chicken weighing more than five kilograms, a duck weighing more than eight kilograms, and some vegetables, tofu and seasonings.
Passing by a small commodity market, I bought ten kilograms of rice wine and ten kilograms of vegetable oil, a large stainless steel basin for fifteen for nine cents, a kilogram of fruit candy and three kilograms of melon seeds, and then hurried back with them.
Wang Bin and Xu Weiguo immediately smelled the strong smell of pig offal. Chen Yuan also found the smell unpleasant, so they all moved to the back to sit.
Su Wan didn't go with them. Why would she be so pretentious and run to the back when she could just sit down?
The two returned to the army and moved all their belongings home.
She washed her own clothes first last night, and when she was about to wash clothes, she found that Chen Yuan had also washed his clothes after taking a shower last night. The two people's clothes were hung together, and when the wind blew, the clothes were blown together, just like their lives, tightly bound together.
There was no need to wash clothes, so Su Wan went to the vegetable garden to take a look, watered some vegetables, and then returned to the house.
She found that Chen Yuan actually took the pig offal outside to wash it, but she didn't think too much about it and started to get busy.
Take a basin and wash several kinds of vegetables first, wash and tear the mushrooms one by one, then peel all the potatoes and radishes, wash the stainless steel basin and put them inside.
After washing all of these, I brought the dishes back home.
It was still early, but she didn't dare kill chickens and ducks. Chen Yuan had to do all these things, so she simply boiled some hot water.
After Chen Yuan washed the pig offal, he came back and saw Su Wan boiling water.
When the two left Datong Village, his mother-in-law told him that Su Wan did not dare to kill any living creatures, and asked him to help kill chickens, ducks and fish when he was at home. He did not ask, poured the hot water and went to kill the chickens and ducks. There was no rush to kill the fish, as there was still time to kill them in the afternoon.
At noon, Su Wan casually stir-fried some vegetables and pork liver with chili peppers. After they finished eating, they continued to work.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, the vegetables were cut and the fish was marinated in advance. She started to make fish head and tofu soup. The sisters-in-law also came at this time.
They all brought stoves and pots, as well as some dishes. Several of Chen Yuan's colleagues also brought three large round tables and stools, which they borrowed from the cafeteria.
Mrs. Wei said hello to Chen Yuan, then walked straight into the yard and called out to Su Wan, "Xiao Su, why didn't you wait for us to come?"
"Sister-in-law Wei."
Su Wan turned around and smiled warmly at the other sisters-in-law, "Sisters-in-law, please sit down for a while. I still need some time..."
Several sisters-in-law were the most easygoing people in the family building. They all smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's see how you cook. What dish is this?"
"Fish the fish head later and make fish head tofu soup. Simmer it slowly until it turns milky white, which makes it even more delicious."
Su Wan skillfully stir-fried the fish head until fragrant, then poured in water, added pepper and tofu, and then covered the pot and simmered it.
"Xiao Su, let me introduce you."
Sister Wei took Su Wan's hand and enthusiastically pointed at the sisters-in-law in front of her and introduced them one by one: "This is Sister Qiu, from the political commissar's family. This is Sister Zhao, from the family of Regimental Commander Zhao. This is Sister Wu, from the family of Deputy Regimental Commander Wu. This is Sister Zhou, from the family of Battalion Commander Zhou. This is Sister He, from the family of Deputy Battalion Commander He."
Su Wan greeted everyone one by one before saying, "Sisters-in-law, just call me by my name."
Mrs. Qiu smiled and took her hand. "It might be a little difficult to get used to following Xiao Chen in the army right after getting married. You can chat with the other sisters-in-law in the yard more often. You'll get used to it once you get used to it."
"Thank you, Mrs. Qiu. I will."
Su Wan spoke obediently. Mrs. Qiu looked at her changed appearance and said nothing more. She smiled and asked everyone to help with cooking.
Su Wan was from southern Jiangsu and his army was stationed in Guangdong Province. However, most of his sisters-in-law were from the north and were used to eating noodles. When they noticed that Su Wan had prepared southern dishes, they couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Su, you don't have any dumplings?"
Su Wan, who had been eating rice, was also stunned. She felt a little embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't have a flour ticket. I don't know how to buy it."
The sisters-in-law all knew that Su Wan came from the countryside, so they didn't know what to say for a while.
Mrs. Qiu chuckled. "Look at my memory. My husband told me to bring a few pounds of flour when he left today. Xiao Su and his wife are from the south, so they definitely don't know how to make dumplings. I completely forgot."
"Then I'll trouble you, Mrs. Qiu. I'll give you the money later."
"What's the point of talking about money? I'll get it."
Mrs. Qiu naturally saw the large piece of meat on the table, and she wasn't worried about not having enough meat for the dumplings. She looked at Mrs. He and said, "Chunhua, I remember you planted chives at home. How about cutting some to make dumplings?"
Mrs. Wu immediately took over the conversation, "Even if there aren't many spring flowers left, my family has planted quite a few. I'll go harvest some. We can't finish them anyway, so let's not waste them."
