Zhang Liming was originally quite grateful to Gu Qingbei for finally coming out to help him out.
After hearing the last sentence, he paused noticeably.
It’s not because of anything else, but just looking at Dahei’s size, he can’t imagine how much Dahei eats in one meal.
Is the monthly food ration for his family of five enough for it to eat for three days?
Gu Qingbei is not trying to help him out, it's clearly trying to bankrupt him.
He quickly rejected the other party's kindness: "Ah, ah, ah, forget it, I won't starve to death if I don't go home for dinner tonight.
If you let your Dahei come to my house for a meal, I will be hungry for the next month."
Jiang Mengxue had just returned to the house to put her things out when she heard this and burst out laughing.
"Don't worry, Captain Zhang. Dahei will figure out his own food problem. The family compound is not far from the hillside. He can catch insects and birds on his own and won't starve."
"You are really good at talking, sister-in-law. Unlike your old Gu, he wanted Dahei to eat me out of money right away."
The people around him couldn't help laughing at his resisting expression.
When Lu Zhengmin heard that there seemed to be some excitement here, he stopped taking his things and ran over to see what was going on.
"Wow, what a great guy! Captain Zhang, you can bring this big guy with you during future training. If your soldiers can't even beat the old Gu family's Dahei, you'll have to intensify your training in the future."
Many people's eyes lit up.
Those who can live in the family compound are officers and their families, and they have a group of soldiers under them.
It would be a good idea to let Dahei scare them.
So many people came forward to Gu Qingbei and asked to borrow Dahei.
Of course Gu Qingbei had no objection, as long as he took care of Dahei's meal and took turns borrowing it, it was fine.
Dahei's expression was a little resentful, and he turned his eyes to Lu Zhengming with a pout.
But when I think about it, it’s good to be able to eat. When I was at home, my second grandma said that it ate a lot.
Does this count as a temporary job? How much meat will it save for the family? Thinking about it makes me feel a little happy, and my attitude towards Lu Zhengming has also become much better.
Lu Zhengming felt that his body was alternately hot and cold, and he was thinking about going back to make some ginger soup, as it seemed like a sign of a cold.
Everyone was talking and making a fuss here for a while, and those who were waiting for dinner at home became anxious and went out to look for them.
Seeing that Gu Qingbei and Lu Zhengming's families had just arrived and had a lot of things to pack, I didn't bother them anymore.
After Gu Qingbei got the application for the house, he would clean here whenever he had time.
All the furniture has been collected and the necessary pots, pans, and utensils have also been bought.
Lu Zhengming next door initially thought that there was no need to go through so much trouble. All he had to do was sweep the dust off the walls and the floor. It was his place to live anyway.
But after learning that he had a fiancée from heaven, he wisely followed Gu Qingbei's footsteps.
He bought whatever Gu Qingbei wanted, so the house had everything it needed at that time.
Among the things Jiang Mengxue brought was her rations.
She hardly ate much of the several hundred kilograms of food distributed by the team. Li Cuiying and her friends received rations, so she was asked to bring food from home.
I simply cooked a few bowls of noodles in the evening and called Lu Zhengming and Han Siyue from next door to come over for dinner.
The family wouldn’t prepare too much food in the summer, and Lu Zhengming didn’t even buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, let alone grains.
They are called noodles, but in fact they are just noodles boiled in water with nothing but salt.
There was nothing much to ask for, including vegetables, chopped green onions, and eggs. If there had been a little lard, the noodles wouldn't have been so tasteless today.
"There are several villages near the army that have markets every now and then, selling things that families need. Do you want to go and take a look tomorrow?"
Lu Zhengming turned to look at Han Siyue. He felt a little embarrassed. Could it be that the two of them were going to live like a couple? This was too sudden. He was a little unprepared.
Gu Qingbei ignored his disgusting expression and instead talked to Jiang Mengxue about treating them to a meal.
"Other family members have been treating us to a meal before, so let's wait a couple of days until we've finished packing and then treat us. I happen to be free tomorrow, so I'll take you around the army to familiarize you with it. It will be more convenient for you to buy things in the future.
And do you remember Tou Ling and Hong Dou? The two sheepdogs on the mountain, their second litters are now adults.
Let Dahei try to find a wife too. It’s not good to be a single dog all the time.”
Dahei was still heartless, lying under the table gnawing on bones that had no meat on them, and he was almost bursting with blood.
"Does anyone in the family compound keep cats? Li Da and Li San are also in need of wives. But Li Er and Li Xiao, please don't give me a litter of kittens. We can't support that many at home."
If conditions permit, Jiang Mengxue would like to sterilize the female cat, but the clinic at home does not have the conditions.
Moreover, she was not very familiar with veterinary medicine, and she was worried what if she accidentally hurt the two little ones, so she never did it.
"Yes, I don't know whose it is. It often wanders around outside or goes to the mountains to play. It's very wild."
Jiang Mengxue nodded. It was good to have a cat. It didn’t need to be the only one in their family raising cats and dogs. That would be too conspicuous.
Lu Zhengming was embarrassed to talk to Han Siyue, so he could only stare at Gu Qingbei, hoping that the couple could liven up the atmosphere.
Otherwise, he really didn't know what to say to Han Siyue.
He has been in the army for more than ten years and he doesn't know how to get along with female comrades.
Apart from the art troupe, there are only female comrades in the medical department of the army.
In his opinion, those were not women at all, but just comrades fighting side by side, so he didn't need to be cautious when speaking to them.
He doesn't even consider whether the other person will be unhappy. That is not his concern.
