Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Get the certificate, Qiao Anchuan leaves
After finishing a late breakfast, before eleven o'clock, Qiao Anchuan rode his bicycle and took Zhuo Jia to the county.
I was busy all day yesterday, but there was still something important to do: I didn’t get my certificate!
When they arrived at the county town, they went straight to the state-owned restaurant. There was no other way, if they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau at this time, they would have been off work, so they decided to go have lunch first.
When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, Zhuo Jia found an empty seat and sat down. As for ordering food, she let Qiao Anchuan do it. After all, this bastard had plenty of energy!
The strong man returned quickly, sat across from Zhuo Jia, and whispered, "Jia Jia, I ordered a braised pork, a pickled fish, and a tomato and egg soup. I also wanted rice for my main course."
He was thinking that he had to ask Peng Kuo to get some rice. Although they had only been married for two days, he had already discovered that compared to pasta like pancakes and steamed buns, Jia Jia preferred rice!
Zhuo Jia nodded. She looked at Qiao Anchuan and said, "After we finish our meal, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative first. I'll give Lin Yu some wedding candy, and then we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
When she went out today, she brought her own shoulder bag with her and filled it with a lot of candies, including White Rabbit milk candies and fruit hard candies.
The White Rabbit milk candy is for Lin Yu, and the hard candy is for outsiders, so that everyone can share in the good luck!
Qiao Anchuan had no objection at all. He nodded honestly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
It’s the last two days. As long as I’m with Jia Jia, it doesn’t matter where we go or what we do!
Zhuo Jia couldn't help laughing. Although Qiao Anchuan was a bit of a villain at times, most of the time, this man was very reliable.
Well, the more reliable this man appears, the more reluctant she is to let him go.
Unable to hold back, Zhuo Jia continued, "After we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate, we'll take two more photos, a photo of the two of us together."
She would take two more photos and let Qiao Anchuan take one away. She would then ask the old man in the photo studio to frame the rest. She was not in a hurry anyway.
"Yeah, I will definitely carry it with me." Qiao Anchuan said with sparkling eyes.
The one he carries with him now is the one his mother sent to the army. He gets extremely excited when he thinks about taking a photo with them.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She silently turned her head away. She couldn't stand the brightness of his eyes.
But she didn't quite understand why this man was sometimes like a dog and sometimes like a wolf!
Just then, the waiter called for someone to serve the dishes at the window. Seeing Qiao Anchuan stand up, she breathed a sigh of relief, then patted her face and calmed down. It was just a marriage, there was no need to think so much!
Although they ordered a lot of dishes, Qiao Anchuan ate too much. Zhuo Jia was full soon. She didn't even finish her portion of rice. Qiao Anchuan directly took away the remaining rice and ate it himself.
While Qiao Anchuan was carrying out the "Clean Plate" campaign, Zhuo Jia was holding a bowl of tomato and egg soup and drinking it slowly. It's amazing that after eating and drinking a bowl of soup, she felt comfortable all over, though a little hot!
Finally, Qiao Anchuan finished his soup, and then the two of them got up and walked out.
Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Zhuo Jia looked at the time. It was only one in the afternoon. She patted Qiao Anchuan on the back and said, "Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative. You know the way, right?"
She felt that if she didn't remind him, the man would just drag her to the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau and wait there.
Qiao Anchuan coughed and said uncomfortably, "I forgot."
He really didn't mean it. All he has in mind now is getting the marriage certificate!
With Zhuo Jia's reminder, the two of them arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative smoothly. After Qiao Anchuan locked his bicycle under the tree at the door, the two of them walked side by side into the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Xiao Yu, your cousin and his wife are here." The salesperson at the door saw the two of them walking in side by side, his eyes lit up, and he shouted inside.
Hearing this, Lin Yu, who was still chatting with others, immediately turned her head and looked over. Then her eyes lit up. You know what, these two people look so good together!
"Cousin, cousin-in-law." She raised her hand and called with a smile.
It’s so pleasing to the eyes!
Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched, and for the sake of the little leather shoes, she also smiled and shouted: "Cousin, I'm here to bring you wedding candy."
She has to send more wedding candies, after all, it’s not her biological cousin who is willing to give her little leather shoes.
"Congratulations." Hearing about the wedding candy, Lin Yu smiled even more happily and said hurriedly.
Zhuo Jia smiled and took out a large bunch of things from her bag. She didn't pick any, as there were White Rabbit milk candies and fruit hard candies.
Looking at the pile of candies on her counter, Lin Yu's mouth twitched. She knew that she knew her cousin was generous, but she didn't expect her to be so generous.
She grabbed a handful of candies from the counter—mostly hard candies—and distributed them to the other salespeople in the supply and marketing cooperative. Then she returned to Zhuo Jia and asked, "Cousin, what are you and your husband buying?"
She'll see if she can help through the back door!
Zhuo Jia smiled and shook her head: "We didn't buy anything, we just came to give you wedding candy. We should have come yesterday, but we had something at home and couldn't leave."
As for the big matter of dividing the family property yesterday, she decided not to talk about it.
"Oh, there's no need to make a separate trip. Just bring it with you when you come." Lin Yu said with a smile.
Although she said this, she was very happy in her heart. After all, she was really friends with Zhuo Jia, otherwise she would not have asked her elder sister to help buy leather shoes from the provincial government.
Ahem, as for wedding candy, she definitely won’t refuse to eat it, she loves candy!
Zhuo Jia sighed and said, "It's on the way. We're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate."
After saying that, she rolled her eyes at Lin Yu. Given their relationship, there was no need to say such superficial words.
Lin Yu pretended not to notice the eye roll. She smiled and said, "Oh, so you're going to get your marriage certificate. Then hurry up and go. After getting the certificate, you can go to the movies. There aren't many people at this time."
After saying that, she blinked. How about it? She arranged it well, right?
Zhuo Jia pretended not to see it and just said, "Okay, go back to work, we're leaving."
After saying that, he turned around and pulled Qiao Anchuan away. Lin Yu, this dishonest guy, is so bad!
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving one after another, Lin Yu shook her head again, wow, her cousin is so amazing.
A salesperson at the counter next to Lin Yu said, "Lin Yu, your cousin is amazing. Look, she's talking here, and her boyfriend is standing quietly beside her without a trace of impatience on his face."
Not only are their partners impatient, they probably don't even want to go out together.
Lin Yu smiled and waved her hand: "Just got married, newlyweds, it's like this."
No way, she was close to him and saw clearly that Zhuo Zhiqing's girlfriend was only thinking about Zhuo Zhiqing. So, her cousin was really amazing. Good days were yet to come.
The capable Zhuo Jia and Qiao Anchuan arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau very quickly. They went in side by side and came out with their marriage certificates in their bags.
"Jia Jia, you must keep the marriage certificate safe." Qiao Anchuan reminded.
He wanted to take the marriage certificate with him, but then he thought it was inappropriate, so he decided to leave it at home. But it was just a piece of paper, and he was worried that Jia Jia would accidentally drop it.
Zhuo Jia nodded with amusement. She patted her bag and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep it safe."
When she got home, she found a box to put the marriage certificate in, and then put the box in the cabinet!
She looked at the time and it was already past two o'clock. She quickly pulled Qiao Anchuan forward and said, "Hurry up, it's time to take pictures."
It will take a while to take pictures!
The two of them arrived at the photo studio at around 3:00. The old man inside still remembered Zhuo Jia and smiled when he saw her: "Comrade, are you here to take pictures again?"
During this period, he was the only one who was anxious to get the photos even if he had to pay more.
Zhuo Jia nodded, pursed her lips and said, "Take a photo with my boyfriend."
To be honest, the photos taken by this old man are pretty good. She likes them and Qiao Anchuan likes them too.
The old man was quite experienced in taking photos. Seeing the two of them like this, he instantly laughed: "Okay, this is your first time taking a photo together, right?"
And looking at the way they look, they are obviously young people who just got married!
Zhuo Jia admitted openly: "Yes, the photos I took at your place last time were for the blind date. Thanks to you for taking such good photos, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so smoothly!"
Qiao Anchuan said nothing: "..."
Nonsense, he is not the kind of person who only looks at the face!
The old man laughed heartily. He waved his hand and said, "This is all fate between you two. Come on, sit down and I'll take a good picture of you. Oh, and take a few pictures?"
This couple was brought together through a blind date using the photos he took. How is that any different from him being the matchmaker? No, so he had to take a good photo of this first photo after their marriage.
Zhuo Jia pulled Qiao Anchuan forward and said, "Take two pictures, one serious and one playful."
Sitting on the stools, they both looked up at the old man taking the photo.
uncle:"……"
The old man looked at the still somewhat uncomfortable young couple and said with a smile, "Very good, don't move."
These two people are both photogenic, so just sit a little closer and the photos will look great!
After taking the first photo, the old man began to ask the two to adjust their sitting posture: "Get closer, male comrade, don't be so stiff, look towards the female comrade and smile..."
"No, I'm not laughing so hard, stop laughing for a moment..."
After nearly half an hour of tossing and turning, the meticulous old man was finally satisfied. He smiled and said to Zhuo Jia, "Okay, just go back and wait. It will be done in a week... No, are you still rushing this time?"
After saying that, he wiped the sweat from his head. He had never been so attentive when taking pictures of people before, and he was sweating profusely.
Zhuo Jia came up to the old man and asked, "Uncle, can I expedite the process and get these photos developed today?"
The old man glanced at the time. It was almost four o'clock. He shook his head and said, "No, it's too late. The earliest we can go is tomorrow."
This can’t be increased no matter how fast we rush!
"Okay, uncle, I'll print two copies of each photo and frame one of them." Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and then added, "There's no rush to frame it."
The old man who wanted to speak: "..."
He nodded. "Okay, I get it. But framing them will cost extra. Also, do you want to frame them separately, or use one large frame to fit both photos?"
As for the price, there is no need to mention it at all. This woman is not short of money.
Zhuo Jia said without hesitation: "Frame them together in a big frame!"
She simply placed the large photo frame in the bedroom and would slowly fill it in later!
After agreeing with the old man to pick up the photos tomorrow, he left a huge sum of thirty yuan and left with Qiao Anchuan.
As soon as the two of them got home, Liu Hongying came to their house and said that Qiao Anchuan's friend called the brigade headquarters today and said that the bicycle had been bought for him and asked him to take time to ride it back.
Qiao Anchuan, who had just returned from the county: "..."
Forget it, let’s wait until tomorrow!
…
Zhuo Jia drank her porridge and asked, "Did Mom come this morning?"
Although she hadn't woken up yet, she vaguely heard her mother-in-law's voice, but she didn't hear her mother-in-law calling her, so she continued to sleep.
Tsk, she slept until noon three days after getting married. It’s a good thing that they separated, otherwise which mother-in-law would be able to tolerate a daughter-in-law like this?
Sure enough, when she was looking for a partner, none of her requirements were in vain!
"Mom said I'm leaving tomorrow and asked us to go to the old house for dinner tonight." Qiao Anchuan touched his nose and said guiltily.
His mother came this morning and didn't see Jia Jia, but she glared at him fiercely several times. He felt that if he wasn't leaving soon, his mother would really say something.
Of course, I’d better not let Jiajia know about these things, otherwise I’ll be glared at again!
Zhuo Jia nodded: "Of course, but we can't go empty-handed, right?"
After all, it was the first time the family had a meal together after marriage, no, it was the first time the family had a meal together after separation, and it was also the last meal before Qiao Anchuan left. She would feel embarrassed to go empty-handed.
"No, I'll go to the county by bike later and see if I can buy something." Qiao Anchuan said after thinking for a while.
It would be fine if he came empty-handed, but now that he is married, it would be difficult for him to come empty-handed again, otherwise it would embarrass his wife.
Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and said, "We still have meat coupons at home. Go see if you can still buy meat. If not, that's okay. I still have canned food. I can bring a couple of cans."
Luckily, she has a large stock, so there will be more to come!
Qiao Anchuan nodded: "Okay, I'll go take a look."
After lunch, Qiao Anchuan left. Of course, he didn't go alone, but to go with his elder brother Qiao Anshan. The two brothers rode one bicycle, and when they came back, they each had one, which was just right.
Originally, Zhuo Jia wanted to go with them, but Qiao Anchuan was too much, and her back was sore now, so she had to let her brother go.
After Qiao Anchuan left, Zhuo Jia wanted to help Qiao Anchuan pack up, but when she opened the closet, she saw that it was full of her clothes, and Qiao Anchuan only had a military uniform...
She was silent for a moment, then closed the wardrobe. Ahem, let Qiao Anchuan clean up by himself. She would go and pack some food. She had it!
However, she could only pack some snacks and the like, and they had to be available in the county or commune supply and marketing cooperatives. She didn't dare put any fruits in there. After all, she had been in the countryside for such a long time, and she couldn't leave any fruits there at this time.
Also put some White Rabbit milk candies and canned fruit in it. You can open them and eat them on the way. As for other things, they are not suitable.
After thinking for a while, she took the basket and went out. When she arrived at Aunt Ding's house, she bought twenty eggs, talked to Aunt Ding for a few words, and then left with the eggs.
There is still white flour at home. Before Qiao Anchuan leaves, I will make him some omelets and boil eggs. That’s all!
Zhuo Jia, who had made her own arrangements, went back home and took another walk. Qiao Anchuan had already made arrangements with the people who made the things that were needed at home. They would deliver the things to her home once they were done, and she just had to wait to receive them.
It was already past four in the afternoon when Qiao Anchuan returned from the county. He came back on a new bicycle, followed by a group of people!
Zhuo Jia stood in the yard, watching a group of people gathered around a bicycle, talking nonsense. She knew what they were talking about without moving closer. It was nothing more than something like "How rich is that?"
Soon, Comrade Liu Hongying arrived, and as soon as she arrived, everyone left in tacit understanding.
Zhuo Jia stood up silently and told herself again in her heart that after Qiao Anchuan left, she must keep her original intention: hold on to her mother-in-law's thighs tightly!
"Mom, you came at the right time. I bought a pound of meat and was thinking of bringing it over later. Since you are here, you can take it away. Jia Jia and I will go later." Qiao Anchuan was not polite at all and handed over the meat.
He demonstrated the true meaning of the saying "a son is a debt" through practical actions!
Liu Hongying looked at the meat handed to her and told herself over and over in her heart that this was her biological son, and the biological son who was about to leave home for a long journey. After saying it several times, she forced a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first!"
Bullshit! If I hadn’t been considering my new daughter-in-law’s face, I would have slapped this unfilial son out of the house long ago.
"Jia Jia, don't forget to come home for dinner." Liu Hongying looked up and said to Zhuo Jia who was standing at the door.
Well, compared to an unfilial son, a daughter-in-law is more popular!
Zhuo Jia nodded obediently: "Okay, Mom, Chuanzi and I will be there in a while."
With such a good mother-in-law, she will definitely be very obedient!
Liu Hongying nodded, then without even looking at her unfilial son, she strode away with the meat in her hand!
After everyone left, Qiao Anchuan closed the door, then turned and asked Zhuo Jia with a bit of grievance, "Why do I feel like our mother likes you more?"
Look at his mother's impatient look towards him, and then look at the way she spoke softly to Jia Jia. The contrast is so obvious!
"It's an illusion, it must be an illusion." Zhuo Jia comforted insincerely.
Humph, she is cuter and more obedient than Qiao Anchuan. Is there anything wrong with the mother-in-law liking her more?
Definitely not!
Seeing what Qiao Anchuan was about to say, Zhuo Jia quickly changed the subject: "By the way, did you go get the photos?"
After saying that, she looked at Qiao Anchuan. He looked unarmed, and it didn't look like he was taking a photo.
Qiao Anchuan took out two photos from his pocket and said, "The framed photos aren't ready yet. I'll take out the unframed ones first. You can pick up the framed ones another day."
He is leaving tomorrow, so naturally he will take a photo of the two of them with him.
Zhuo Jia took the photos from his hand and looked at them. They were the photos they had taken yesterday. She handed them over and nodded, "Okay, I understand. You can put these two photos away."
After she finished speaking, she asked Qiao Anchuan to look at the things she had packed for him: "Take a look, is there anything missing?"
This was her first time sending someone on a long journey, and she was quite inexperienced, so she asked someone who often travels far to show her!
Qiao Anchuan took a look at the bag he brought back, which was currently placed on the desk. He opened it and saw a pile of food inside. He was instantly silent. As a man, why would he eat these?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhuo Jia asked in confusion: "What's wrong, you don't like it?"
That shouldn't be the case. These foods are very popular in the supply and marketing cooperative. If she hadn't led the way with the White Rabbit Milk Candy, they wouldn't be available at all.
Qiao Anchuan said honestly: "No, it's just that why should a grown man like me eat these? I'll just eat something on the way. You can keep these for yourself."
It's so embarrassing for a grown man like him to eat these on the train.
Zhuo Jia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just take it if I give it to you. Don't say those things. I don't like to hear them."
She had never heard that snacks were divided into male and female ones. We are all human beings, so why can't we eat them!
As for Qiao Anchuan saying that he was reluctant to eat it and said it on purpose, she became even angrier. What was the matter? Was this the only thing the family needed?
"Oh." Seeing that she was about to get angry, Qiao Anchuan immediately nodded obediently.
Nothing else, just a keen eye!
The two of them stayed at home for a while, and only set out for the nursing home at around five o'clock. When they arrived, the four children were having fun in the yard!
Seeing Zhuo Jia, the four children gathered around her, vying for the spot and shouting:
"Second Aunt."
"Second aunt."
Zhuo Jia didn't say a word before being dragged away by the four children to play nearby. As for Qiao Anchuan next to her, he was simply ignored by the four children!
Qiao Anchuan, abandoned by his wife: "..."
Forget it, he decided to go to the kitchen and see if his mother needed his help!
However, when he went to the kitchen, he found that there were already three women in the kitchen, and it would be a bit unnecessary for him to go in.
"Second brother, you are not needed here. Go and keep Second Sister-in-law company." Qiao Anqin said with a smile.
Her second brother is leaving tomorrow, so she has to spend more time with her second sister-in-law today.
Qiao Anchuan snorted coldly and said with some resentment, "Your second sister-in-law doesn't need me to accompany her."
What's the point of accompanying them? He can't squeeze in at all. If he goes there, he might be chased away by the four children the next moment.
Liu Hongying was frying crispy pork. When she heard this, she said angrily, "If you have nothing to do, just sit here and light the fire!"
Sometimes she really wants to ask why the second son’s temper has become like this in recent years. He is so nagging and she can’t stand it at all!
"Okay, then I'll light the fire." Qiao Anchuan said quickly.
Good fire, perfect location to steal the skills!
So when Zhuo Jia coaxed the four children and came to the kitchen to see if she could help, she saw Qiao Anchuan huddled on the small stool, making a fire pitifully.
She suppressed her laughter and walked over to ask, "Do you want me to burn it?"
She really wanted to ask if Qiao Anchuan had offended her mother-in-law, otherwise why was he assigned such a good job.
"No, I'll do it." Qiao Anchuan said to her with a smile. He wiped his hands on himself when he thought of something, then quickly stood up, took a piece of crispy meat from the basin and handed it to Zhuo Jia: "Try it, the crispy meat made by mother is very good."
Against the backdrop of the firelight, Zhuo Jia actually thought Qiao Anchuan's smile was quite cute, but his wide grin, showing his big teeth, made him look even darker...
She took the crispy meat, coughed, and said, "Make a good fire."
Just light a fire in the kitchen and don’t go out in the sun, it’s really dark!
After eating the crispy meat, Zhuo Jia said a lot of words to praise her mother-in-law, and then strolled out to play with the children!
The brigade secretary came back from work outside and the meal was ready at home. There were many people, so they used a big table. Seven adults and four children surrounded the table tightly.
"Chuanzi, what time do you want to leave tomorrow morning? Let your elder brother take you there." The brigade secretary said while drinking.
He felt that he was really smart. He built the houses for his two sons together so that the two brothers could discuss anything together without disturbing him as their father.
Qiao Anchuan nodded: "The nine o'clock train, I told my brother about it."
Except for the first time when his father sent him away, his elder brother always sent him away afterwards, and he was used to it!
Qiao Anshan said from the side: "Dad, you don't have to worry about this."
Really, his father always asks, of course, just a simple question.
The brigade secretary who suddenly felt a little redundant: "..."
He turned his head to look at Liu Hongying and picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks: "Hongying, come, eat more, you've worked hard."
There are these two unfilial sons!
"Jia Jia, try the braised pork made by my mother. It's delicious." Qiao Anchuan immediately picked up a piece of meat for Zhuo Jia with his chopsticks, and then picked up a piece for himself.
Humph, I couldn’t snatch it from my dad before because he and my mom are two different people, but it’s different now, he also has a wife now!
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She really wanted to say: Childish!
After dinner, Qiao Anchuan cleaned up the dishes very consciously, and even said to Zhuo Jia when she started to clean up, "Jia Jia, you just play with the kids, I can do this job by myself."
When he is not at home, there is nothing his wife can do about the housework, but when he is at home, he cannot let his wife do it.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
Very good, she was still thinking about performing well in front of her mother-in-law, but now Qiao Anchuan has finished performing!
Liu Hongying is too lazy to care about these things. Whoever her son and daughter-in-law want to do it can do it. Just don't let her do it.
The last table of dishes was washed by Qiao Anchuan and his brother. On the way back, Qiao Anshan put his arm around his brother's shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It's a good thing you're leaving tomorrow, otherwise I would have to do so much more work."
It’s not that he doesn’t want to work, but who wants to work when they can just sit around doing nothing?
Qiao Anchuan glanced at him and said meaningfully, "Brother, you need to be more diligent so that you can be well-liked."
Today, the eldest sister-in-law looked at the eldest brother several times, and he could see the knife in her eyes, but his eldest brother was like a blind man and remained indifferent!
Qiao Anshan pretended not to hear this and thought he was temporarily deaf.
…
The next morning, Zhuo Jia struggled to get up at dawn. She yawned and walked towards the kitchen, only to find Qiao Anchuan already inside making breakfast for her.
Seeing her get up so early, Qiao Anchuan was shocked. He quickly said, "Jia Jia, I can cook for myself. You can go back to sleep."
He felt that Jia Jia was staggering when she walked and was afraid that she would fall.
Zhuo Jia yawned again, looked at him and said, "You knead the dough first, I'll make you some steamed egg pancakes later."
After saying this, he didn't give Qiao Anchuan a chance to refute, turned around and went out to wash his face. As for Qiao Anchuan being disobedient?
Ha, she has struggled so hard to get up. If Qiao Anchuan doesn't do it, she will make a fuss!
After Zhuo Jia left, Qiao Anchuan found a basin and started kneading the dough. Oh, he also didn't forget to beat the eggs...
Anyway, when Zhuo Jia came back after washing her face, the preparations were ready. She asked Qiao Anchuan to light the fire while she started to prepare other things. She waited for the pan to heat up, poured in oil, and spread the pancakes...
Finally, scrub the pot, add water to it, and boil the eggs!
"I cooked porridge, let's drink it first." Qiao Anchuan said from the side.
He just let the porridge get cold. If you don't drink it now, it will get cold.
Zhuo Jia wiped the sweat off her face, waved her hand and said, "You eat first, I'll go wash my face."
After she finished speaking, she walked out. She couldn't take it anymore. It had been a long time since she had gotten up so early, and it had also been a long time since she had been so busy after getting up. She was not used to it.
It’s okay, after sending them away, she will go back to sleep and sleep until she wakes up naturally!
The two of them had breakfast together. Zhuo Jia found a lunch box to put the omelet in, and then put the eggs in her bag. After she had packed up everything, Qiao Anshan called out from outside.
"I should go." Qiao Anchuan looked at Zhuo Jia and said seriously.
If we don't leave now, we will really miss the train.
Zhuo Jia pursed her lips and nodded: "Well, let's go, I'll take you out."
She really doesn't like separation!
After going out, I found that my eldest brother and sister-in-law were waiting outside. Qiao Anshan took the bicycle from Qiao Anchuan and said anxiously: "Hurry up, it's already seven o'clock."
Really, I’ve never seen the second brother so slow before!
Qiao Anchuan ignored his elder brother and just said to Zhuo Jia, "I'm leaving now. I'll write to you when I get there."
He wants to go back and work hard to get Jiajia to join the army as soon as possible. He doesn't want to experience separation again!
"Well, I will write to you too. Be careful." Zhuo Jia nodded and looked at Qiao Anchuan seriously.
No one is heartless, and after spending some time together, she had to admit that she had a good impression of Qiao Anchuan. After all, Qiao Anchuan was really a very good person!
Qiao Anchuan nodded vigorously, then looked at her seriously, got on his bike and left...
After watching Qiao Anchuan's back disappear, Zhuo Jia and her sister-in-law went home separately. When they got home, Zhuo Jia climbed onto the bed and fell asleep. She was sleepy, so she decided to take a nap first!
On the other side, Qiao Anchuan, who was sitting on a bicycle, put his hand in his chest pocket after he could no longer see Zhuo Jia, where there was a photo of the two of them.
As soon as they separated, he started to miss her!
…
When Zhuo Jia opened her eyes again, it was already half past eleven in the morning. She glanced at the time, rolled over in bed, tossed and turned for a long time before she finally got up with difficulty.
Hey, Qiao Anchuan just left and she didn’t want to eat anymore, and the key point is that she didn’t want to cook!
Zhuo Jia, who didn't want to cook, went to the kitchen to get a bowl, slowly made herself a bowl of milk powder, and then found a bottle of canned fish.
There are some leftover omelets from the ones I made this morning, so she can just have some!
After Zhuo Jia finished lunch, she was completely awake. She walked around the main room twice and took a deep breath. At this moment, she realized one thing very deeply:
She lives on her own now and can do whatever she wants!
Thinking of this, she immediately pulled out the purchasing group and clicked on the message in the group. Well, it was still a familiar message:
[Looking to buy wild vegetables that are not treated with pesticides. ]
[Looking for free-range, unfed pullets.]
【Looking for handmade and original pork sausage. 】
She started counting on her fingers. There were wild vegetables everywhere in the mountains now. She could use the excuse that she wanted to eat wild vegetables, and then find a few children to help her dig them. This could be done with sugar.
There are also pullets, which are even simpler. Although pullets are raised for laying eggs, she believes that as long as she pays the money, there is no pullet that she cannot buy.
It's just that enema is a bit difficult to make. She's already asked around, and people usually start doing it around the Chinese New Year. And because pork is so rare, not many people do it. So maybe she needs to buy the meat and ask someone to help her do it...
But there is no need to rush this. We need to earn the first two amounts of money first!
You know, she only has 400 yuan in her balance now. She took out 100 yuan a while ago to ask someone to make her bedding, and she spent 100 yuan on White Rabbit candy...
So her current balance makes her feel insecure.
No, she still had the passbook that Qiao Anchuan gave her, with 2,600 yuan in it. Fortunately, it was hers now, otherwise she would have felt even worse.
Of course, she wouldn't touch the money in the passbook casually, so just leave it there!
Thinking of something, Zhuo Jia started to contact the "grocery vendor". Ever since she bought White Rabbit milk candy here last time, she has been looking forward to doing business again.
Grocery store: [Do you have rice?]
That’s right, she wants to buy some rice. Now her family only eats noodles, and she wants to eat white rice!
Grocer: [Yes, 10 jin per bag, 45 yuan per bag, how many bags do you want?]
Grocery Store: [I want two bags.]
Zhuo Jia originally wanted ten bags, but when she looked at her balance, it was not enough, so she had to order two bags first and buy more after she finished eating!
Soon, the "grocery vendor" sent two bags of rice to her warehouse through a group purchasing agent, and at the same time, her balance became 310.
Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and continued to ask: [Is there any pork?]
Grocery store: [We don't have this, but we do sell pork!]
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She silently closed the purchasing group and tried to keep smiling. It seemed that she was greedy. After all, this was a purchasing group. She was buying for others, not others buying for her, so she had to be content!
But why is it so difficult to eat meat!!!
She got up and went to the kitchen to find a flour bag, opened a ten-pound bag of rice and poured it into the bag. Then she threw the rice bag into the warehouse and burned it as firewood when she cooked.
Because the cabinet for storing grain had not been built yet, she could only put the rice in the bucket in the kitchen. Yes, it was a bucket, and it was a water bucket. There were two water buckets, and she used one of them to temporarily store grain.
Just as she put the rice away, someone knocked on the door. She closed the kitchen door and walked out. When she opened the door, she saw...
Well, Comrade Zhang Yunhuan is here!
Zhang Yunhuan saw her and raised her little hand to wave: "I heard your man left this morning, so I came to see you this afternoon. How is it, is it fair?"
She hasn't seen Zhuo Jia these few days and she misses her so much!
Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched, and she leaned to the side to let Zhang Yunhuan in. After the person came in, she closed the door again. Well, she still didn't like outsiders coming to her house as guests!
Zhang Yunhuan said with his hands behind his back, "I walked around your house on the day of your wedding. This house is well built. You will be blessed in the future."
She said this sincerely. It would be so bright if one person lived in so many houses.
Zhuo Jia was amused by this, but she nodded in agreement: "You're right, it is indeed spacious and more comfortable than where I live in the city."
Compared to here, she felt that where she lived in the city was no different from a doghouse!
Zhang Yunhuan glanced at her, moved closer to her and asked, "When are you going to improve the food?"
She wants to eat meat!
Seeing the light in Zhang Yunhuan's eyes, Zhuo Jia spread her hands and said, "I want to eat meat, but I don't have a ticket."
The purchasing group does not support her eating meat, they only support her not to starve to death!
Zhang Yunhuan waved his hand and said, "I have tickets. Let's go buy them sometime."
She didn't feel guilty at all when asked this question. After all, she and Zhuo Jia were well-known in the entire team. In that case, they should just eat and drink!
Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and said, "I still have some white flour. Let's make dumplings."
She felt like she hadn't eaten dumplings for a long time!
Zhang Yunhuan's eyes lit up even more, and she nodded excitedly: "Yeah, I think it's okay. Then I'll provide the meat and you come forward."
Just thinking about eating white flour dumplings makes my saliva water!
"No problem." Zhuo Jia nodded.
She said that Zhang Yunhuan was her perfect dining partner!
Thinking of something, she asked Zhang Yunhuan: "I want to go digging wild vegetables, do you want to come with me?"
She went to the mountain to investigate first, and took the opportunity to see the children having fun in the mountains, and find two helpers for herself.
"What's so delicious about wild vegetables?" Zhang Yunhuan said with disdain, frowning.
At the same time, she looked at Zhuo Jia with strange eyes. How could anyone want to eat wild vegetables?
Zhuo Jia said angrily, "I want to try it, can't I? I have nothing to do anyway!"
Without wild vegetables, where would we get the money? Without money, how could we improve our food?
Hearing the latter part, Zhang Yunhuan nodded subconsciously. She really had nothing to do, especially in the past two days. Everyone else at the educated youth camp had gone to work, and Zhuo Jia had just gotten married, so she felt embarrassed to bother them...
It’s really hard to be alone at the educated youth site these days!
"Okay, then I'll accompany you to dig wild vegetables." She pursed her lips and said reservedly.
Alas, I finally got rid of the job of collecting grass for pigs, but now I have to dig wild vegetables. It’s really hard work!
