"You two are having dinner at my place. I just bought some fish. Let's make some tofu stew."
Jiang Mengxue worked in the wild for several hours but didn't catch any fish. In the end, she took one out from the space herself. It's so sad to talk about it anymore.
The two men were not idle either. Huang Haiwu brought the fish to the well and killed it.
Xie Sheng helped wash and pick vegetables, while Jiang Mengxue washed the rice and put it in the pot to cook. It had been a long time since she had eaten rice, and it happened that she was making fish today, so the soup was just right for mixing with the rice.
Jiang Mengxue’s cooking skills are just average. She only knows how to braise fish. She just needs to fry the fish on both sides, then stew it with light soy sauce and water. When it’s almost done, she adds tofu and green peppers.
Afraid that one dish would be too monotonous and not suitable for entertaining guests, Jiang Mengxue fried some spinach and eggs.
Xie Sheng sat at the table, sniffed, and gave a thumbs-up, saying, "Mengxue, I didn't expect your cooking to be so delicious. I originally thought you ate in the cafeteria every day because your cooking was not good."
Jiang Mengxue smiled and served everyone a bowl of rice: "Then come to my house more often when you have time. My cooking skills may not be great, but they are not bad either."
When Jiang Mengxue was cooking, she pulled the stove and the kang apart, so when the meal was ready, the kang was already heated. Now the dining table was placed on the kang, which was very warm.
"How did you meet today? Isn't Sister Sheng also on vacation today? How could you meet in the hospital?"
Although Xie Sheng knew Jiang Mengxue was teasing them, he was still too embarrassed to speak. In this kind of situation, the man should speak first.
Huang Haiwu was so shy that his ears turned red, but it couldn't be seen because his face was dark, otherwise his face would have been red too.
"Sister-in-law, Dr. Xie and I are getting to know each other with a view to marriage. We'd like you to be our matchmaker and come to our wedding."
Jiang Mengxue looked at the two of them jokingly: "You two are together now? Then I can't wait to drink in your wedding wine."
Xie Sheng was unusually embarrassed and kept his head down to eat.
"What about you? Your husband has gone to the army, so you two are separated. Is it going to be like this from now on?"
"Let's wait until they can join the army. I heard from him that it should be within the next two years. Then I will go to join the army. But it's not confirmed yet. I'll see the situation later."
Huang Haiwu: "I heard that many troops are considering the issue of family quarters. Now that the situation has stabilized, soldiers can no longer live apart from their families. This problem should be gradually resolved in the future.
However, we also have to consider the work of family members and the education of children. Otherwise, we cannot let family members go there and do nothing, otherwise conflicts will sooner or later arise over time.
But your sister-in-law's situation should be easy to resolve, and your work problem should be easy to solve. The military hospital can accept you. You can ask Lao Gu to write an application. If both of you are soldiers, you can be arranged to move out of the family housing."
Jiang Mengxue finally realized that this was possible: "Is it really possible? I'm not a soldier, can I still work in a military hospital?"
Huang Haiwu: "Why not? Talent introduction can be applied directly for enlistment. As long as the army approves, it will be fine. You are not ordinary recruits, and there are no rigid requirements for the way to join the army. You can ask the old consultant, or Aunt Gu is also in the hospital, you can call and ask."
Jiang Mengxue nodded, thinking that she could learn more about this matter first. Even if she was not in a hurry to join the army, it might be useful in the future.
She really didn't plan to stay at home to do housework and take care of children after joining the army. No matter what, she still had to have her own job. It didn't matter how much she earned, the main thing was not to be out of touch with society.
Otherwise, she would have to stay at home to take care of her children and chat about family matters with the old ladies in the family compound.
The environment is enough to influence a person. When you hear a statement many times, even if it is wrong, it will affect you.
After the meal, the two helped to clear the table and left together. Jiang Mengxue sent them to the door. After seeing the guests off, Jiang Mengxue returned home.
Jiang Mengxue went to the small courtyard and planned to tidy up the cellar. She had never been there before. It was Gu Qingbei who went there to put things away before.
After opening the cover above, there was a ladder underneath. Jiang Mengxue carefully climbed down and turned on the flashlight.
The room was about 10 square meters, and there was a wooden shelf nailed together, filled with cabbages.
There were also many potatoes, radishes, and peaches and pears that were brought back from home last time. Jiang Mengxue was worried that the peaches would go bad, so she planned to can them. The persimmons and pears could be made into frozen persimmons and pears when the weather got cold.
Put the peaches in a basket, tie a rope, and pull it up when the time comes.
Wash the peaches, peel, pit and cut into pieces. Wash the glass bottle, blanch it with hot water, then put the peach pieces in, add some rock sugar, pour in clean water, put the can into the pot, and cover it lightly with the lid without tightening it.
Just light the fire and burn it for fifteen minutes, then take out the bottle, tighten the lid and place it upside down on the table. This way it can be preserved for a long time and will not go bad for a year.
Jiang Mengxue also made a few canned pears. She couldn't finish all the fruits by herself anyway, so it would be better to can them instead of freezing them all.
It gets dark early now. It’s just past four o’clock and the sky is already overcast.
In the yard, every household could hear the sounds of cooking, chatting, scolding children, and children playing in the yard. It was very lively for a while.
Jiang Mengxue simply cooked some clear soup noodles at home, added a spoonful of lard, and after eating, she washed up and went to bed feeling warm.
Jiang Mengxue didn’t know when Doomsday Survival sent the message, and only noticed it when she entered the space at night.
Doomsday Survival: "Could you please exchange some Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Fengyoujing (essential Chinese medicine)? Or maybe some thermostatic clothing or something? The weather here is getting hotter by the day, and many people have died from heat stroke. I don't know if the weather will get even hotter, so I'd like to buy some preventative medicine and disinfectants. The weather is so hot, and so many people have died. I'm also worried about contracting some viruses."
Jiang Mengxue checked the time. The other party had sent a message in the morning, but she was busy with her own things and had not logged into the space, so she did not notice it.
I didn't expect the other party's situation to be so difficult. It is extremely easy to be infected with the virus in a world with zombies. What's more, the weather there is getting hotter and the corpses are decaying faster. To be honest, if Jiang Mengxue lived in that world, even if she had the cheat of space, she would not have the confidence to hold on to the end.
Although I sympathize with the other party's situation, business is business.
Jiang Mengxue: "I have some medicine to prevent heatstroke, but I haven't heard of things like constant temperature clothing, so I didn't buy any. If you need some summer clothes, I have quite a few here."
Jiang Mengxue thought she would have to wait a while, but she didn't expect the other party to reply immediately.
