Chapter 18: Lu Zhiyao cooks, and the kid next door cries out of greed



Everyone was talking in low voices here, and Lu Zhiyao took the children to the place that the military wife mentioned that specialized in selling daily necessities.

The basic daily necessities have been bought. She bought pots, pans, and some seasonings.

I just arrived here, and if I don’t cook it will definitely arouse suspicion, so I have to buy all these things.

The army provides certain subsidies for new military wives, so these things are not particularly expensive for Lu Zhiyao to buy.

In addition, Lu Zhiyao also bought some bedding, a cushion, and a lot of other things. She bought a lot and couldn’t take them back.

Lu Zhiyao was looking at these things piled here and was thinking about how to take them back when the girl selling things called two people over.

"Let us take it back for you. You must have just arrived here, right?"

The little girl said this with a smile, and asked someone to help Lu Zhiyao take these big items back.

After solving the problem, Lu Zhiyao hurriedly thanked the little girl, "Thank you so much, otherwise I wouldn't know how to take it back."

"It's not easy to be a military wife. It's hard work."

When Lu Zhiyao heard this, her past life came to her mind.

The years when I lived in my previous life were also like this. It was not easy to be a military wife, but the living conditions were relatively good, and the subsidies from the army were also large.

There's nothing wrong with that.

This year, transportation and phone calls are inconvenient, and there are indeed many more problems than in the previous life.

Lu Zhiyao said a few words, and only after making sure that there was nothing left did she take the things back.

The seller helped take the big items home. Lu Zhiyao's two children were playing in the yard and made their beds.

Then I finished setting up the stove and all that.

When these things were done, it was already afternoon. Wisps of smoke rose from the surroundings, and Lu Zhiyao hurriedly took her two children to buy groceries.

There is a vegetable vendor near the family compound, which supplies the sisters-in-law in the compound.

When Lu Zhiyao arrived, many people were about to close their stalls, so she took advantage of the situation and bought some fresh vegetables and a piece of meat.

Then he took the children home.

During the day, the sisters-in-law were whispering in the family compound, and everyone knew that a new military wife had arrived.

The husband's position was not low, but he and his children seemed to be hungry.

A military wife happened to see Lu Zhiyao buying a piece of meat, and she was quite worried.

Lu Zhiyao is willing to buy meat, which proves that her life is not bad, but why is she so thin?

He was so thin that they all wondered if Mu Qingyuan was abusing him and the child.

They discussed this matter in the compound during the day, and wondered if Mu Qingyuan might not give the money?

Now it doesn’t seem right.

Lu Zhiyao ignored all this and took her two children back home.

"This afternoon, it's our first day here, mom will make you a delicious meal!"

Lu Zhiyao took the meat she bought this afternoon and processed it. She blanched the meat, cut it into slices, and prepared various seasonings.

I fried a plate of twice-cooked pork.

I cooked a vegetable soup and stir-fried some green pepper and potato shreds.

When the twice-cooked pork was being stir-fried, the aroma wafted out from the kitchen.

Although this place is a bit remote, there are still a few families around, and many people like to live here because the remote place is a little quieter.

Although the area just after the entrance to the family compound is quite close, there are a lot of people living there, and there are always quarrels at home.

It's so noisy living here.

The fragrance wafted out and many people smelled it.

Especially the little ones playing on the road outside.

After everyone smelled the aroma of the meat, they couldn't help but sniff.

"This meat smells so good! I want to eat meat too!"

"I want to eat meat, too. My family hasn't eaten meat for a long time. I'm craving it now."

"Me too, me too!"

"When can we eat it?"

"I'm going to tell my mom I want to eat when I get home tonight!"

A few children were chattering away, and as it was getting dark, they went home first.

Several soldiers also smelled the fragrance of the food on their way home.

Open the door.

The soldier smiled and said, "Wife, your cooking skills have improved a lot. I can smell the fragrance of the food from outside!"

The soldier's wife, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out after hearing this.

"What did you say?"

"I was wondering if you were frying meat. Your skill in frying meat is pretty good. I could smell the fragrance from outside."

"Hurry up and serve it, the children are greedy!"

The soldier was still smiling, but his wife looked confused, "Don't we only eat meat on Wednesdays? Today is only Monday, and the meat I stir-fry always tastes the same!"

"But the smell of food outside is really appetizing!"

The soldiers were talking when the children came back from outside.

"Mom, can we have meat this afternoon?"

"We smelled the aroma of meat outside. It was so fragrant that the water kept flowing!"

When the soldier's wife heard this, she opened the door and walked out. When she reached the yard, she smelled the fragrance of food coming from afar.

She took a deep breath and stood on tiptoe to look into the distance.

I don't know whose meat was fried, but it was really fragrant. The aroma of the meat could even drift so far away that when she smelled it, she swallowed her saliva like crazy.

"Be good!"

The wife of the soldier walked into the house and said, "I really don't know which restaurant cooked this dish. I don't remember any other restaurant cooking dishes that smell so good. But today a new wife of the soldier has come to accompany the army!"

"I thought you cooked it."

The soldier took off his coat and asked, "Whose family is this?"

It was time to relax when I got home, so the soldier asked a few more questions.

"She is the wife of Captain Mu of your army, and she has two skinny children. Looking at the three of them, they look as if they are hungry!"

"Speaking of Captain Mu, he has been out on a mission for three years, right? We haven't seen him in a while. Could something have happened to him?"

The soldier's wife had just finished speaking when the soldier glared at her fiercely, "How can you say that? Don't tell anyone!"

"Now that she's here, there will naturally be someone to help take care of her. Let's not worry about it anymore. You can also buy some meat and fry it tomorrow!"

The military wife curled her lips. She knew she shouldn't say that, but she wanted to ask since this was her own home.

But my husband said I can't bring it up, so I won't bring it up.

Don't bring disaster to your home because of these things.

After all, disaster comes from the body!

The military wife entered the kitchen, smelled the aroma coming from there, and took a deep breath, "Okay, okay, let's buy meat tomorrow!"

In addition to their family, children from several surrounding families also smelled the fragrance and went home to tell their parents that they wanted to eat meat.

Most of those who were able to get houses in the family compound were at the battalion commander level or above, with very few being special cases.

The conditions at home were not particularly bad and everyone could afford meat, but they could not afford to eat it every day, especially for some families where one man's salary was the only thing to support the whole family, with elderly parents and young children to take care of, so they were not that well-off.

So when the children got home, they said that they were scolded by their parents.

"What meat!"

"We only eat it once in a while at home!"

"Can you please stop always smelling the food outside and coming back to say you want to eat meat!"

Several children were scolded for a while and felt aggrieved.
