"Sister-in-law Sun, Sister Ye, come here to me."
The three of them went outside, and Liu Zhenzhu was indeed waiting there. Liu Zhenzhu had fresh reed leaves, which she had brought from the village.
"Sister-in-law Sun, Sister Ye, I still have glutinous rice, sticky rice, and red dates here."
Liu Zhenzhu's rice was all good quality, and even the dates were quite large. Sun Xiuhua casually picked one up and tasted it.
I discovered that these dates were sweeter than those sold at the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Sister Liu, give me five catties of glutinous rice and two catties of red dates."
"good."
Ye Zhaozhao ordered five catties of glutinous rice, five catties of sticky rice, and ten catties of red dates.
These dates are good for women, so Qin Xuehua bought a lot of them; she also wanted to make her own zongzi (sticky rice dumplings).
After returning from shopping, Sun Xiuhua went to find Ye Zhaozhao, and the two of them soaked the rice in water.
We could only wrap them the next day, as the school had a three-day holiday for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Gu Yunduan also had a day off. Ye Zhaozhao packed two kinds of rice cakes, one glutinous rice cake and one sticky rice cake. She packed quite a lot and asked Gu Yunduan to take them to the military region to share with his comrades.
The comrades all said that Ye Zhaozhao's zongzi were delicious. It was the first time that Tuantuan and Yuanyuan had ever eaten zongzi.
The two of them each ate two, and Ye Zhaozhao was worried that they would get sick.
Children should eat less glutinous rice. The triplets each ate one. Since the kindergarten is closed for the Dragon Boat Festival, Sun Xiuhua has time to come over.
"Zhaozhao, do you know what Qin Xuehua put in the zongzi?"
"Put what in?"
"Add tonics."
Ye Zhaozhao had reminded Qin Xuehua before that her man was too weak and couldn't handle the nourishment.
But Qin Xuehua still felt she needed to take more supplements.
This time, she actually put tonics in the zongzi, and what's more, her husband even took the zongzi to the military region.
When everyone found out, they couldn't stop laughing.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Yunduan would take the children out for morning exercise.
He discovered that his children were too weak, and in order to prevent them from being bullied in the future, he wanted to train them in advance.
Thinking of the school bullying in later generations, Ye Zhaozhao agreed with Gu Yunduan's approach, which made things difficult for the quintuplets, who would tell Ye Zhaozhao about it every time they came back.
"Mom, none of the kids in the compound exercise. Could you talk to Dad and ask him to let us off the hook?"
"Dad is doing this for your own good."
Since Ye Zhaozhao had already said so, the quintuplets knew they had to listen to their father. Finally, when the quintuplets couldn't take it anymore, Gu Yunduan was about to go on a mission.
This was Gu Yunduan's first mission since arriving in Kyoto; he hadn't been on a mission for a while.
Ye Zhaozhao had almost forgotten that Gu Yunduan had just mentioned going out.
Ye Zhaozhao immediately went to get the medicine she had made, and packed it all for him, no matter what it was.
She also made dried meat and, worried that he might be hungry, brought him some flatbread to take with him.
The quintuplets thought that since their father had gone on a mission, no one would force them to exercise anymore, but they still had to pretend to be very sad.
Gu Yunduan looked at Tuantuan and said to him, "Dad, I really can't bear to part with you," but he smiled. Ye Zhaozhao, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but smile as well.
Tuantuan was puzzled. Had she smiled too obviously? Should she stop smiling and say it again?
Since there wasn't much going on at school, Ye Zhaozhao dug up the soil in her yard and bought some seeds from the supply and marketing cooperative.
When Song Zhizhi arrived, she saw Ye Zhaozhao turning over the soil and felt disdainful.
No wonder they came from the countryside; they actually came to a place like this. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at?
"Song Zhizhi, what's wrong?"
Since the news broke that she wasn't pregnant, Song Zhizhi hasn't been seen in public for a while.
Song Zhizhi didn't want to come out either, but Wen Renjie had specifically told her before he went on his mission.
Keep a close eye on Ye Zhaozhao while he's away.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to come and take a look."
As she spoke, Song Zhizhi looked around their courtyard. They had moved in earlier than Gu Yunduan, when the family housing was already full.
When Gu Yunduan moved in, there were already vacancies in the family housing, and everyone thought Gu Yunduan would choose the family housing.
Who knew we'd choose this run-down courtyard?
Song Zhizhi has already told Wen Renjie that if there are any more spots available for family housing.
They had to be the first to move there, and Ye Zhaozhao didn't care about Song Zhizhi.
After turning the soil, Ye Zhaozhao took out the seeds. She bought water spinach, cowpeas, Malabar spinach, loofah, romaine lettuce, celery, cucumber, and carrots.
——
Wen Renjie also went on the mission this time. The reason why the commander sent him and Gu Yunduan on the mission was to see their abilities.
Although Gu Yunduan is better at fighting, on the battlefield, brute force alone is not enough; one also needs to use one's brain. This mission will be personally supervised by the division commander.
Wen Renjie knew that his teacher and his father were like brothers, so when everyone was resting, he took the initiative to approach them.
"Commander, the mission is dangerous, please be careful."
The division commander glanced at him, thinking to himself how many missions he had been on.
Did he really need to remind him? The division commander thought it was all well-intentioned and nodded.
"Deputy Regiment Commander Wen, I heard that you have a long history of military exploits in your previous military region, otherwise I would have entrusted you with leading this operation."
The division commander also wanted to see Wen Renjie's abilities, and Wen Renjie glanced at Gu Yunduan.
Feeling that this was a test from his teacher, he immediately nodded excitedly.
"Yes, sir, I will definitely complete the mission."
"good."
Zhou Dawu was displeased and whispered to Gu Yunduan.
"What does the division commander mean by this? Why is he bypassing you and letting Wen Renjie lead the team?"
"Follow the orders of your superiors."
Gu Yunduan felt that the division commander must have his reasons for doing so, and Zhou Dawu didn't say anything.
He listened to Gu Yunduan; Wen Renjie had led teams before.
