Li Qingyun had almost finished getting her things when Gu Tingzhou came back with three lunch boxes.
A box of large steamed buns made of two-grain flour, a box of meat dishes, and a box of vegetarian dishes.
It's braised pork with potatoes and vermicelli stewed with sauerkraut.
The portion was huge. Li Qingyun and Dabao ate half of it, and the rest was eaten by Gu Tingzhou alone.
Erbao also got half a steamed bun. The little guy was able to finish it by himself, and even picked up the steamed bun crumbs from the table and ate them.
It has been confirmed that he is a foodie.
He now eats two meals a day, sometimes rice porridge, sometimes steamed buns. When Li Qingyun has time, she will give him some minced meat and vegetables to eat with the rice porridge.
He can eat porridge when adults eat it, but rice is a little difficult for him to swallow, so he can only eat a little.
He has a good appetite and eats whatever is given to him. He is not picky.
After dinner, it was getting dark and Gu Tingzhou turned on the lights in the house. Yes, there were lights.
Li Qingyun happily rushed over and hugged Gu Tingzhou.
"Why didn't you tell me there was a light?" This was the biggest surprise of the day, okay? She had just walked around the room and hadn't noticed it.
There are light bulbs overhead.
God knows she has been using kerosene lamps and candles for lighting in the past few months. She feels like she is completely blackened. She dare not do anything at night. She can't see anything with such a weak light.
"I thought you found out." Gu Tingzhou muttered aggrievedly.
However, he still hugged his wife in his arms and kissed her for a while before letting her go.
The eldest and second children have seen their parents kissing and hugging each other so many times that they have become immune to it.
They were obviously more interested in the electric light and looked up.
Dabao knows about electric lights, the teacher said so.
But this is the first time I have seen it. This is an electric light. It is so bright that even the corners are illuminated.
From now on, I can read and write at night without worrying about hurting my eyes.
The two children played by themselves.
Gu Tingzhou and Li Qingyun put away the things they bought at the department store today and the bags they brought from home.
The house finally looks presentable.
Now all that’s left is to pack up once the package arrives.
It is basically the same as when I was at home, but the details are more refined and the environment is more comfortable.
Gu Tingzhou paid attention to every detail here and arranged it all according to his wife's preferences.
Therefore, when they came to this strange place, Li Qingyun and the children did not feel very strange, and they quickly accepted their new home from the bottom of their hearts.
I originally thought that the two children would be familiar with their beds after being used to sleeping on the kang, but I didn’t expect that the two little guys slept very well and fell asleep on time.
Dabao is now very good at coaxing Erbao to sleep, so Li Qingyun doesn't have to worry about it at all.
It's just difficult for Gu Tingzhou. Now that he has changed his bed, there is no kang for him to do whatever he wants.
At that time, the beds were all bunk beds, most of which were only 1.5 meters wide. It was a bit crowded for four people to sleep in it. He was unwilling to leave his wife and sleep in another room, so he had two children and they could squeeze in to sleep.
With Gu Tingzhou's big heater, which was comparable to a big kang in Northeast China, Li Qingyun slept very comfortably.
It's still quite cold in March, so if we want to move Dabao to live somewhere else, we have to wait until at least April.
Gu Tingzhou can only temporarily suffer the injustice of not being able to eat meat.
But kisses and hugs are indispensable every day.
So, the first night at the military region ended with the family snoring one after another.
Even the second baby was snoring.
They have been extremely tired these past few days.
The next morning
Gu Tingzhou's biological clock made him wake up on time at six o'clock. He first went to get food for Li Qingyun and the children, then moved the coal stove to the yard and lit it with small sawdust.
Wait until it burns and the smoke stops before moving it into the kitchen and putting it away.
Warm up the breakfast you brought back in the pot.
He went out for morning exercise, and when he came back, Li Qingyun had already gotten up and was having breakfast with the two children.
Looking at Li Qingyun's bulging mouth like a hamster, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Is it tasty?"
Li Qingyun had just woken up and was still a little dazed. She stared blankly at him as he took a big bite of the pie in her hand.
There are so many pies, just take them if you want to eat them, why are you biting mine?
After finishing the meal, Gu Tingzhou commented: "Not bad, the one in my wife's hand is very fragrant."
But Dabao asked seriously, "Really? Mom, I want to taste what you have in your hand too."
Li Qingyun was embarrassed.
"Your father is lying. They are all the same cakes."
After saying that, he took a big bite of the cake and chewed it hard.
Dabao looked away from the cake in his mother's hand with a look of regret.
The family had breakfast.
Li Qingyun changed into a down-padded jacket she made herself and planned to follow Gu Tingzhou to visit the neighbors.
The owner of the other four houses nearby.
There are too many people in the family building in front, and we won’t see each other every day, so I won’t go.
As for the row of small detached houses behind, it will probably be difficult to see them every day in the future, so there is no need to go.
As for Gu Tingzhou’s comrades who are on good terms with him, he can just host a banquet at his home in a couple of days.
Since Gu Tingzhou still has one day off, he will take Li Qingyun to get familiar with the life of military families in the army, get to know the nearby neighbors, and the people in logistics and security.
Only after he understands the places where the soldiers make their daily purchases and the general situation of their families can he return to the army with peace of mind.
Gu Tingzhou also told Li Qingyun how he got the house by chance.
So she also knew that the owners of the other four houses were of higher status than Gu Tingzhou.
She had just moved in, so she had to go visit. But there were also many things to pay attention to when visiting, so it was up to her to strike the right balance.
After all, I may live here for many years to come.
Finally, she took out some of the pine nuts, pecans, hazel mushrooms and other mountain products she had brought with her and divided them into several portions.
Prepare one portion for each family, just one or two pounds of food, not much, just to show your thoughtfulness.
Too many gifts may seem like flattery.
If it's too little, it won't be presentable. This is just right, and it fits my identity as a person from the countryside. It's not outstanding, but very practical.
When Gu Tingzhou took Li Qingyun there, all the men in the family were out, leaving only the women at home.
Li Qingyun took the initiative to introduce herself and presented gifts, which made the hostesses of these families very impressed. They also politely sent some food as a return gift.
Li Qingyun also accepted it generously. There is a long way to go, and things will get better and better if there is give and take.
The last and largest house is Jiang Fan’s home. Three generations of their family live together, forming a big family.
This is also the family for which Li Qingyun prepared the most gifts. Since she has a special relationship with Jiang Fan, it is reasonable for her to give more gifts.
Li Qingyun brought her homemade meat sauce and cold rabbit. Gu Tingzhou had said before that even the senior leader praised her cooking skills and delicious food.
There are also various mountain products and a piece of homemade bacon.
When they arrived, the chief, Jiang Fan and his wife had all gone out to work.
Only the chief's wife and two little grandsons were at home.
