The next day, Lu Yanzhou left the compound again early in the morning.
When he said he would take two days off, he really only took two days off.
With no one to help warm the bed, Shen Anan once again returned to her daily routine of going into the space to sleep.
Before Lu Yanzhou left, he said that he would not be back until around the Chinese New Year.
This year the Chinese New Year falls on February 15th.
The weather in Beijing in January is really cold, with the north wind blowing hard, and the key is that it is snowing here.
Shen Anan wore the thermal underwear from his previous life inside, then the military uniform, and a woolen coat outside.
She has a great warming effect.
Clothes these days are thick, but the styles are just so-so.
She had nothing to do at home, so she tried making clothes at home.
The woolen coats she wore were all made by her own, and she also knitted two sweaters with wool.
"An'an, hurry up and go to the logistics department to get the meat. There's meat today." Zhou Fangqin came back with the things in her hand and said to Shen An'an.
We were so poor those days that the army didn’t even distribute New Year’s goods.
At least we were supplied with some pork before the New Year. If we didn’t go to get it, there might be none left later.
"Ah? Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll go right away." Shen Anan thanked Zhou Fangqin.
She rarely goes to the supply station and didn't know the news.
Before Shen Anan went out, uncle's guard Liu Xiaolin came over with two kilograms of pork.
"Professor Shen, this is your pork. The chief asked me to bring it to you."
"Ah? Thank you so much. I was just about to pick it up."
Shen Anan stepped forward and took the pork.
The Chinese New Year is coming, and this thing can be used to make dumplings.
Unfortunately, the New Year atmosphere is not very strong these years.
Shen Anan doesn't care whether everyone wants to eat the 'bitter and sweet' meal during the Chinese New Year.
She had already prepared what she was going to eat.
Anyway, this is a military area, and it is impossible for all the soldiers to eat that stuff.
She took the two pounds of pork belly, went straight to the space to cut a bunch of leeks, and started preparing to make dumplings.
When Lu Yanzhou came back, he saw Shen Anan making dumplings in the kitchen.
"Why are we making dumplings so early?" Lu Yanzhou was very surprised, as there were still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year.
"The pork was delivered today, and since I can't cook anything else, I decided to just make dumplings."
Shen Anan replied without stopping the movements of his hands.
The dough for these dumplings is made from the wheat in her space, and the chives in her space are added. Just thinking about it, you can imagine how delicious these dumplings are.
Lu Yanzhou is really a lucky guy.
"Have you come back now to complete your training? Are you going to train before the New Year?" Shen Anan asked.
Lu Yanzhou nodded: "The training has been completed, and the rest will be rotations. I used to be the deputy company commander, and the company commander will take care of the real work."
He completed the training very well this time, and after completion he was directly assigned to rotation duty to familiarize himself with the work situation.
"Will they move in there? Will I come with them?"
Shen Anan suddenly remembered that the place was not in the same place as their military district. Did she have to move there too?
Lu Yanzhou shook his head: "Not for now, we are not far from there, no need to move."
The main reason is that there are quite a few deputy company commanders, and their housing is not as good as here.
And Shen Anan is also a doctor recognized by the higher-ups, so the chief cannot let down Shen Anan, the "miracle doctor".
So the higher-ups just made an exception and let him continue living in the military compound. He would be staying here for a few years anyway.
The first choice for guards is naturally to take up posts in the capital military district, so as to ensure central control.
"Is that so? Then will it be troublesome for you to go to work without living here?"
The current capital city is not very big, and the military compound is actually not too far from the Forbidden City.
It only takes less than 20 minutes by bike (purely made up), which is much closer than her commute to school or work.
But if you live there, it's only a few minutes away, so there is still some difference.
"I'm the deputy company commander, a leadership position, and I don't need to stand guard, so this distance doesn't have much of an impact."
He had previously thought that the work would be harder once he got in, but he didn't expect the arrangements to be so detailed and comprehensive.
Apart from inspecting various posts according to the company commander's arrangements, his job consisted of some auxiliary work, which was much easier than he had imagined.
"In that case, fine. I'm used to living here and I don't want to move."
Shen Anan thought this was a good idea, and moving around was troublesome.
After the two of them finished wrapping the dumplings with two pounds of meat, they cooked and ate them that night.
"Wife, your cooking skills are really good. These dumplings taste so good that I never get tired of eating them every day." Lu Yanzhou sighed.
Fortunately, he can go home and eat the meals cooked by his wife in the future, otherwise, he doesn’t know how much weight he would lose.
Shen Anan smiled back: "Just bring back some more meat and eat it every day."
She also thinks dumplings are delicious, and she can make dumplings with different fillings and eat them every day.
But the prerequisite is that you have to have meat, she doesn't like vegetarian dumplings.
"Then... I'll tell you!"
Lu Yanzhou didn't dare to speak.
He knew very well that this meat was hard to get.
But because he liked the dumplings made by Shen Anan, he wanted to buy meat for home whenever he saw it.
The next day, Lu Yanzhou rode his bicycle out early in the morning.
He rode this bicycle back yesterday and it was assigned to him.
“…”
Watching him riding away on his bicycle, Shen Anan looked at the bicycle in his hand again.
Her family actually has two bicycles now?
