Chapter 34: The Meat Purchase Incident
When Cheng Jinghao finished his report, it was already time for dinner.
When she got home, Lin Momo was fiddling with the vegetables in the pot. The weather was getting cooler, so she put on her cotton-padded jacket.
"Wife." Cheng Jinghao called softly.
Lin Momo stood up and turned to look at him, "You're back!"
She didn't receive his note today and guessed that he should be back today.
Lin Momo rushed towards him, and as soon as she threw herself into his arms, her little nose wrinkled.
"What's that smell?"
Cheng Jinghao felt a little embarrassed. His body was covered in blood, snow and sweat. He hadn't showered for a week, so it would be strange if he didn't smell.
"Forget it, I don't mind you." Lin Momo hugged him tightly. Even if it was smelly, she was happy.
"Wife, I miss you!" Cheng Jinghao kissed her on the forehead.
"I miss you too, husband." Lin Momo stood on tiptoe and kissed Cheng Jinghao on the face.
"I'm going to take a shower."
"I'll go get you some noodles." The noodles were already prepared.
Although the two said this, they never opened their mouths.
"Hey, you two..." Zhao Zhigang came over with a bowl.
As it happened, the gate to the courtyard was not closed, and he saw the two children being hugged in the courtyard, unable to go in or out.
"What are you doing here?" Cheng Jinghao turned around and blocked Lin Momo behind him.
You don't need to look to see that his wife's face must be blushing with embarrassment.
"Your sister-in-law made some marinated food for you to eat while you're downstairs." Zhao Zhigang handed the bowl to Cheng Jinghao and looked at him with a smile.
"It's getting late, let's close the door." Zhao Zhigang helped them close the gate.
As soon as the gate was closed, Lin Momo grabbed the bowl from Cheng Jinghao's bed and ran into the kitchen.
When Cheng Jinghao came out of the shower, Lin Momo's makeup was ready.
"Does Ke Wei come to deliver cow dung every day?" Cheng Jinghao asked after eating noodles. Ke Wei is the platoon leader, so it can be said that Cheng Jinghao brought him up all the way.
"Well, the young man is quite honest. He ran away as soon as he was sent to the greenhouse and didn't even want some snacks." Lin Momo said with a smile.
"I'm older than you, 22 years old." Cheng Jinghao said with a smile.
"My actual age is 28." Lin Momo looked at him proudly.
"Then I am also three months older than you."
"......" Cheng Jinghao, I'm afraid you don't want to go to bed tonight.
Lin Momo gave him a look and let him experience it himself.
"Wife, I was wrong, I am younger than you..."
"No, wife, I was wrong. I was always wrong."
Before Lin Momo stood up, Cheng Jinghao hugged her and said, "My sweet wife, you can't run away."
"Wife, you are so beautiful!" Cheng Jinghao kissed her on the cheek.
"Honey, you're handsome too." Lin Momo held his face and kissed him back.
Cheng Jinghao hugged Lin Momo and kissed her deeply. The entanglement of their lips and tongues was full of sweetness.
The long and warm kiss ended only when both of them were out of breath.
Cheng Jinghao picked her up by the waist and strode into the room.
......
The next day is the slaughtering festival, when herders will drive their cattle and sheep to the military area for processing.
Early in the morning, the military canteen was crowded with military families who wanted to buy beef and mutton and watch the fun.
In the morning, Lin Momo was still in the quilt. Cheng Jinghao hugged her, kissed her, and asked.
"Do you want to go and see it?"
"I'm not going. I'm so tired." I've been tossed around all night, what else is there to watch?
Besides, she really didn't want to watch the bloody scene.
"Then how much should we buy?" Cheng Jinghao asked.
"Buy more. We have to send them back to Beijing. Don't we have to send them through the military district?"
I didn't buy more openly because I couldn't get that much out of the supermarket.
"Well, then you sleep a little longer. I'll go buy some food. If you're hungry, just get something to eat from the supermarket." Cheng Jinghao looked at the time and had to get up.
"Okay." Lin Momo responded and closed her eyes again.
When Cheng Jinghao went out, he met Zhao Zhigang, who was already carrying a backpack behind him.
"Get me another backpack." Cheng Jinghao was not polite at all.
"How much do you want to buy?" Zhao Zhigang went home and brought him another backpack. "You have almost taken all the backpacks in my house."
"Make some dried meat for home and send it back." Cheng Jinghao took the backpack.
"It's going to snow soon, it's not like we can't harvest pork. The snow season lasts for almost five months. Besides, there are even fewer people selling pork in the market during the snow season." Cheng Jinghao reminded.
This is because most of the pork in the city is provided to units that issue meat coupons to the military region. It is inconvenient to buy pork in winter, so the daily supply will not be that much.
"Then wait for me. I need to get some more money from your sister-in-law." Zhao Zhigang said and walked back to get money from his wife.
When the two arrived at the cafeteria entrance, they happened to meet Sheng Li and Xu Gang.
"It seems that your status at home is not very high." Zhao Zhigang laughed.
The four people who had just finished their tasks and had a day off are all working here.
"Has Huo Jun been dragged away for training by their regiment commander again?" Sheng Li looked around but didn't see Huo Jun.
"Don't look blindly. The one next to Aunt Huo is Huo Jun's sister." Xu Gang bumped into him.
"What's wrong?" Sheng Li said in a low voice.
"Huo Jun is not at home these days, and Aunt Huo is looking everywhere for an officer for her daughter to accompany the army." Xu Gang said that they were neighbors, and Liu Qian told him this.
"The one who can follow the army, wasn't there only Old Cheng left? Is he married now?" Zhao Zhigang was a little curious.
"So I told you not to look at it." Xu Gang looked at the two of them as if they were idiots.
"No."
"No way."
"Don't tell Huo Jun about this." Xu Gang warned. After all, this was someone else's family affair and there was no way to talk about it.
"Got it." Both of them agreed.
"Why don't you speak?" Zhao Zhigang looked at Cheng Jinghao.
"What does it have to do with me?" Cheng Jinghao looked as if it had nothing to do with him and he didn't care.
"Didn't Aunt Huo come to see you..." Before Sheng Li could finish his words, Huo Jiao came running over.
"Captain Cheng, are you here to buy meat?"
Sheng Li was so scared that he trembled and quickly stood further away.
Cheng Jinghao didn't say anything and just stood away.
"Captain Cheng, why are you ignoring me? Why didn't your wife come with you? Your wife is really..." Huo Jiao came forward without finishing her words.
Cheng Jinghao glared at her, "Are you sick? If you are, go back and see a doctor."
"Pfft." Zhao Zhigang and the other two tried not to laugh.
"Huo Jiao, what are you doing?" At this time, Xu Guilan came over, followed by Huo Jun with a cold face, holding Xiaohu in his arms.
He was originally in training, but the political commissar told their regiment commander to let him take a day off, so he followed Xu Guilan to the cafeteria.
"Third brother, your sister just came over to say hello." Ge Mei, who was originally talking to ๊ทธ, hurried over.
"Huo Jun, if your sister is sick, take her to the hospital and keep her away from me. It won't be good if it affects our comradeship." After Cheng Jinghao said this, he went to queue somewhere else.
Zhao Zhigang glanced at Huo Jun three times, then followed Cheng Jinghao.
"Wife, you buy meat here. Mom, you and Huo Jiao will go back with me." Huo Jun glared at Huo Jiao and left first.
