"Although Li Hongying's family had the door closed, I could hear it through the wall. There was severe fighting inside and a lot of things were smashed! Chen Baozhu must have been really angry. Even Da Niu and Er Niu were beaten up." Lian Rongrong vividly described what happened in Li Hongying's house last night.
Jiang Yue summed it up and said that Chen Baozhu knew nothing until yesterday when all the dirty deeds Li Hongying had done were exposed, and Chen Baozhu beat her up when he got home.
"This morning I saw Li Hongying go out to empty the toilet. Her face was bruised and swollen. I heard that she couldn't bear the beating last night. She threatened Chen Baozhu that if he continued to beat her, she would jump into the well with Wuniu. Only then did Chen Baozhu stop."
Jiang Yue: “…”
The gossip ended here. Jiang Yue was not very interested in how Li Hongying's family affairs developed. She just listened to it to pass the time when she was bored.
The three of them went to buy vegetables separately. Half an hour later, Lian Rongrong came back after a walk. She looked up and saw that there were only a few handfuls of green vegetables, two cucumbers, and some star anise and bay leaves in Jiang Yue's basket.
"Jiang Yue, this is all the food you bought today? Is it enough?"
"Well, I bought a lot yesterday, and I still have some at home!" Jiang Yue also looked at Lian Rongrong's vegetable basket. In addition to the half pound of meat she bought earlier, there was a handful of red amaranth, a few peppers, and a yellow melon.
"Where did you buy this cantaloupe?" Jiang Yue was very interested in the cantaloupe. She leaned in to smell it. It smelled so good!
She had been in this world for several days. She only ate two tomatoes yesterday to satisfy her craving and had not eaten any other fruit snacks. When she smelled the fragrance of the melon, her saliva began to flow.
"It's right in front. If you want to buy it, hurry up. It's just put out there. If you go too late, the ripe ones will have been picked up." Lian Rongrong pointed Jiang Yue in the direction.
When Jiang Yue saw that there were not many people over there, he quickly thanked Lian Rongrong and trotted over.
By the time Jiang Yue came back with two melons picked out, Mrs. Zhao and Lian Rongrong had already bought the vegetables and were waiting for Jiang Yue to gather and prepare to go back.
It took about ten minutes to walk from the staff quarters to the market town. The three of them walked together and chatted, and soon they arrived at the staff quarters of the 179th Division Headquarters.
"By the way, Jiang Yue, tomorrow is Friday, the logistics department's car will go to the city to purchase goods. If you want to go, just go to the camp gate. The car will leave on time at 4 o'clock."
"What? Leaving at four o'clock?" That means we have to get up at three in the morning?
Jiang Yue was shocked.
Yesterday she heard from Mrs. Zhao that the army had a car going to the city every week. She was eager to buy something, so she listed the things she wanted to buy and counted the money and tickets. But when she heard that the train would leave at four in the morning, Jiang Yue immediately gave up.
"Forget it, I won't go! It's too early and I can't get up!" Jiang Yue said dejectedly.
She knows herself very well. If she doesn't get enough sleep, she will be in a bad mood and lose her temper.
"It doesn't matter. You don't have to take the logistics department's car. Old Zhao and his team sometimes go to other places for meetings. If there are not many people, you can also take their jeep!" Sister Zhao revealed another piece of news to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue: "..." The big jeep that made her vomit? It doesn't seem more attractive than getting up at three in the morning.
After returning home, Jiang Yue put down the vegetable basket and started shaking her arms wildly. They were so sore!
She didn't buy a lot of things today, and the vegetable basket weighed only seven or eight kilograms at most. Although it was still very heavy for Jiang Yue's body, she was embarrassed to ask Sister Zhao to help her carry it, so she held her breath and carried it back all the way.
At this moment, Jiang Yue felt that her two arms no longer belonged to her.
After resting for a while, Jiang Yue took out the pork belly and lard, put them in the vegetable basin, and soaked them in well water.
The green vegetables and cucumbers were placed on the stone table in the yard, and Jiang Yue put the spices such as star anise and bay leaves into jars in the kitchen.
After doing all this, she picked up the two melons she had carefully selected and put them to her nose. They smelled so good!
Jiang Yue not only has a special physique, she also has a talent: her nose is very sensitive. She can smell odors that ordinary people cannot. When it comes to food ingredients, anything she personally selects will be particularly fresh and taste extremely sweet.
Jiang Yue didn't rush to wash rice or vegetables to prepare lunch. She peeled a smaller cantaloupe, cut it into pieces and put it on a plate. Without a fork, she picked up a piece with her hand and put it into her mouth.
The aroma exploded in the taste buds. Jiang Yue squinted her eyes and couldn't help but exclaim: How sweet!
After eating a few pieces of melon, Jiang Yue took out an exercise book that his original body had used, and lay on the table in the yard to write and draw.
It's only eight o'clock now. In Jiang Yue's world, it's not even time to go to work yet.
In the past, even though she was financially free, she still had a lot of work to deal with every day, so she didn't have the time to relax like she does now.
Although people were poor and had no entertainment in that era, and there was nothing to do once dark except turning on the lights and going to sleep, the sky was blue, the wind was gentle, the air was fragrant, and even the birdsong was so beautiful.
Moreover, Jiang Yue also clearly felt that when people were not so busy, even the flow of time seemed to be slower.
At noon, Jiang Yue braised half of the pork belly and put the other half into the pot and marinated it with spices. She also fried some green vegetables for herself and had a small bowl of white rice. It had both meat and vegetables, perfect!
Just as Jiang Yue sat down and prepared to start eating, the door of the yard was pushed open and a tall figure strode in.
"Gu Ye? Why are you back?" Jiang Yue turned her head and was surprised to see Gu Ye appear in front of her.
Gu Ye normally didn't come back for lunch. Before, if Ningning was not at home, he would not even come back for breakfast or dinner. Otherwise, Li Hongying would not dare to steal rice, flour, oil, eggs and other things so boldly.
"I went to the health team to get some cockroach medicine." Gu Ye took out a paper bag.
Jiang Yue was flattered, "Gu Ye, did you come back specially to bring me cockroach medicine?"
Gu Ye turned his head and said calmly, "No, I came back to get something and brought it to you!"
He would not admit that he came back specifically to deliver cockroach medicine. Of course, he made this special trip because he didn't want Jiang Yue to use the excuse that there were cockroaches in her room and refuse to go back to the room, and continue to stay with him!
"Oh!" Jiang Yue looked a little disappointed.
Gu Ye suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, and he said again: "There is medicine powder in it, sprinkle it in the corner of the room, it should be effective in three to five days!"
"Oh, okay, put it on the windowsill." Jiang Yue instructed Gu Ye to take the cockroach medicine away. After all, it is poisonous to cockroaches. Even a slight poison is poisonous. What if it gets into the food and makes people sick?
"Gu Ye, go wash your hands!"
Gu Ye took off his military uniform and hat, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and asked Jiang Yue casually, "What are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?"
He smelled a delicious odor from a distance just now. He followed the scent all the way to his home. The scent was even stronger and almost went into his nose.
