In the evening, we lit the kang in the house and ate together around the kang table. The kang was so hot that the house was very warm.
A few old men drank some wine together, and Jiang Mengxue and the other two chatted about preparing pickled vegetables and preparing winter vegetables.
Jiang Mengxue only had a vague understanding of these things. At most, she could pickle some small vegetables. She had no idea how to make sauerkraut at all, but she had saved the videos so she could look them up later.
"Xiaobei, how long can you stay at home? You've been back for quite a while this time. Are you going to go back to the army? Didn't you visit your parents during your leave?"
Jiang Mengxue pricked up her ears when she heard Uncle Gu's question.
Indeed, this time, because of the two of them, Gu Qingbei did not go to his parents' place. I heard that his original plan was to stay in his hometown for only two or three days, and then go to his parents' army. He didn't expect that he would be delayed by the marriage, and he probably didn't have time to go.
Gu Qingbei nodded: "There are still about ten days left in the holiday. I plan to leave a few days early, visit my parents, and then return to the army."
This was something the two of them had discussed before. Anyway, they could meet in the space anytime and anywhere, so there was no need to worry about being separated. Even though Gu Qingbei was in the army and couldn't enter the space at any time, they could write notes and leave messages, which was much more convenient than sending telegrams or letters.
Jiang Mengxue was also worried. Her parents-in-law had everything they needed. Judging from the things they sent back, they had enough food, drinks, and clothes. She really didn't know what to prepare for Gu Qingbei.
"Xiaobei's wife is married now, so she has to be more careful with her work. If she is pregnant, she can't be too busy at work."
Although Aunt Gu is usually a bit petty and likes to take advantage of small gains, she is actually quite good in all aspects of her interpersonal relationships.
As an elder, she does care about the younger generation's married life. She is also worried that he is young and doesn't understand anything, so she will still remind him when necessary.
Jiang Mengxue felt a little embarrassed when so many people brought up this topic, and her face flushed slightly: "I know, Auntie, I work in the obstetrics and gynecology department now, and the doctors around me are all professionals. If I feel uncomfortable, I will ask them to help take a look."
Everyone was relieved after hearing this. This was also what Gu Dabo had specifically asked Aunt Gu to remind them. The young couple was young and didn't know anything. The second brother and his wife had only one child in all these years, and that child had died. They were also worried that they had only a vague understanding of this aspect, so they still had to remind them.
Everyone drank until eight or nine o'clock, when the uncle and aunt went home, and they cleaned up the table together.
Back in the house, Gu Qingbei brought in a basin of hot water and the two of them soaked their feet.
The kang has been heated up, so there is no need to worry about keeping the quilt warm in winter. Jiang Mengxue sleeps very comfortably.
It’s not like before, when we had to put a hot water bottle or an electric blanket next to our feet in advance, otherwise our feet wouldn’t be warm even after two or three hours.
"Why don't you leave a few days early and stay at your parents' place for a few more days? We haven't seen each other for several years, and we don't know when our next vacation will be. Anyway, we can see each other anytime in the space, so it's okay to go a few days early."
After pouring the water, Gu Qingbei went straight to the kang and hugged his wife.
"You're really willing to let me go. I don't know when I can come back. I'll be in the army by then, and I don't think I'll have many opportunities to enter the space."
Jiang Mengxue was a little curious: "Then how did you harvest the crops in your space before? Didn't you say that they would mature once a month or so?"
"Those don't require me to enter the space. I can harvest them directly with my consciousness. No matter what is in the space, I can do it with just a thought. As for the grown poultry, I kill them directly with my mind and then bleed and cut them up. I don't need to do it myself."
Jiang Mengxue was really a little surprised. If so, wouldn’t many things be very easy to do?
As if noticing Jiang Mengxue's eagerness to try, Gu Qingbei explained, "It wasn't like this from the beginning. At first, I only cultivated half an acre before my energy level dropped. Later, after a long period of training, I was able to harvest all the land at once. If your energy level isn't high enough, forcing it won't work. I once pushed my limit so hard that I fainted on the kang and slept all night."
Jiang Mengxue was a little disappointed. Her mental strength was not as good as Gu Qingbei's. It was a blessing for her to be able to gain a little land.
Jiang Mengxue did not try rashly because she had more important things to do. If she wanted to know what this matter was, she would have to ask Gu Qingbei.
Thinking that she was about to leave here and return to the army, and that tonight was going to be particularly harsh, Jiang Mengxue didn't know whether she was asleep or had fainted.
Gu Qingbei didn't wake Jiang Mengxue up until eight o'clock the next morning. After getting up, washing up and having a simple breakfast, the four of them rode three bicycles directly to the commune, preparing to take a bus back to the city.
There were two large bags of cabbage, two large baskets of radishes, two baskets of fruit, and a full bag of gifts from the wedding on the back seat.
Uncle Gu and Qingbei helped the driver tie the bicycles and cabbages to the roof of the car. Li Cuiying and Jiang Mengxue had already found a seat by the window and sat down.
After arriving in the city, Gu Qingbei and Jiang Mengxue got off the car first. Second uncle and his family still had to take half an hour's drive to get there.
They didn't say anything more. Jiang Mengxue almost covered her mouth when she got off the car. They stopped and started frequently along the way. If Jiang Mengxue hadn't tried hard to hold it in, she would have vomited long ago.
After getting off the car, Gu Qingbei handed the kettle to Jiang Mengxue. It contained fruit tea that Jiang Mengxue had filled in advance. For her, drinking this was more effective than drinking plain water. The sour and sweet taste in her mouth could suppress the urge to vomit.
After taking a few breaths of fresh air, they felt better. They each rode a bike back to the compound.
Not long after arriving home, Gu Qingbei went to the credit union again and asked someone to take back all the furniture he had previously liked.
There are desks, bookshelves, wardrobes and wardrobes in the room.
Gu Qingbei brought back everything he could think of, including the cupboards, tables, cabinets, dining tables and benches, water tanks and buckets, bathtubs and laundry tubs that were placed in the dining room.
He directed people to place all the furniture in the house according to their requirements, and carried all of Jiang Mengxue's original furniture upstairs. The bed was no longer needed, so it was also carried to the room upstairs.
He also brought back a large iron pot and placed it on the stove in the corridor. He also put all the vegetables and fruits they brought back from the countryside into the cellar, waiting for Jiang Mengxue to deal with them when she had time.
Jiang Mengxue plans to buy two more pickle jars so that she can learn from others to collect some sauerkraut and pickle some salted duck eggs, salted chicken eggs, etc.
