Chapter 43 Lin Momo Shares Vegetables
Liu Erhu was a very strict division commander. All his subordinates, whether brigade commanders or soldiers, would skip the morning training every day, including himself.
He Shuangjiang, who had been a brigade commander for many years and had not received training for many years, how could he bear it?
Zeng Wei was able to persevere thanks to his youth, but He Shuangjiang really had no choice, so Liu Erhu stayed beside He Shuangjiang and ran with him.
"He Shuangjiang, I am five years older than you. I ran away, but you didn't. This is asking you to go to the battlefield. Don't you even have a chance to escape?" Liu Erhu had followed Cheng Jinghao and others on missions a few years ago.
As he spoke, Commander Liu Erhu's words became less pleasant to the ear.
After training every morning, He Shuangjiang didn't want to do anything else and went straight back to sleep.
But my son-in-law, Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng, went back to sleep. After training in the morning, he trained in the morning. After training in the morning, he trained in the afternoon.
The two fathers-in-law and sons-in-law of the He family were completely driven crazy by Liu Erhu, because these are the rules of the Southwest Military Region, and they are all like this. Is your family special?
Seeing their man behave like this, the mother and daughter of the He family naturally became obedient and lived their own lives behind closed doors.
On this day, the water spinach in the greenhouse had been picked, and Li Hesan came over to help.
"You said you worked so hard to grow these vegetables, why don't you keep them for yourself? But you have to pick them all." Luo Yumei said as she picked the vegetables.
"I promised everyone at that time that I would let everyone taste the vegetables when they were ripe. Besides, I planted the vegetables just to see how they grew, and this water spinach will continue to grow after being picked." Lin Momo said with a smile.
"This little bit of water spinach you have is not enough for everyone in the family compound. When the time comes, they will blame you." Li He was afraid that she would have to work hard to please him.
“Here’s what I thought. You guys take yours back later, and I’ll send some to Aunt Zhou and Commander Chen. I’ll fry the rest and give each family a portion so they can all have a taste.” Lin Momo said.
Your family may have more, and my family may have less, but it will definitely not be enough. However, after cooking it, it is still enough for each family to have a small plate.
"This is a good idea. It saves us from giving too much to one company and not giving enough to another, which would offend them." Liu Qian nodded.
"My family has it ready. I'll make a small portion and let the kids taste it when I get home." Li He said with a smile. She helped Lin Momo with the work for her dishes.
"Me too, we'll just print one when the time comes." Liu Qian and Luo Yumei looked at each other.
The four of them smiled at each other. This is the friendship between military wives.
"Then, when you go to deliver food to the commander, ask 놛 to borrow the radio to broadcast it, and we will help you." Li He thought about it and decided that this way he wouldn't have to notify every household.
"good."
The four people's hands moved a little faster. Lin Momo was afraid that it was not enough, so she continued to pick vegetables and sneaked a little more through the space.
After picking all the water spinach, the other three didn't expect there would be so many.
Lin Momo and Li He went to deliver the vegetables, while Luo Yumei and Liu Qian stayed behind to pick and wash them.
When Lin Momo and Li He found Commander Chen and explained the situation to him, he immediately agreed to broadcast the radio show.
"Is this the water spinach from the greenhouse?" Commander Chen was surprised as he held the water spinach. It was bigger and better than the ones he had eaten in Beijing before.
"Yes." Lin Momo nodded.
"Good, good. I didn't expect that Comrade Lin is also a good vegetable grower." Commander Chen praised.
"Commander, you're too kind." Lin Momo felt a little embarrassed. She benefited from the agricultural planting books in the supermarket and the instructions on the seed packaging in the future.
Because there were many people in the family compound, when Commander Chen heard that Li He and the other three were helping, he asked Cheng Jinghao and the other four to go over and help maintain order.
[Notice: The water spinach in Comrade Lin's greenhouse has matured. Due to limited quantity, it cannot be distributed to each household, so Comrade Lin decided to fry it and give each household a portion. Please bring your lunch boxes to Comrade Lin's house at 11:30 to pick it up. Please maintain order and don't scramble for it. 】
The voice of Commander Chen was heard on the radio. The military families in the family compound heard it and talked about it. They didn't expect that what Lin Momo said about sharing the food was true.
When Lin Momo brought the vegetables, Zhou Weihong followed her back. Lin Momo felt that the weather was too cold and she really didn't want her to suffer the cold.
"I'm going to that station. No one dares to cause trouble. I have to go with you." Zhou Weihong insisted on going. She knew all this too well. As long as it was about her own interests, she would fight for even the slightest bit of sand.
At 11:30, Cheng Jinghao stood in the yard like a door god.
Lin Momo was responsible for cooking, Li He helped her, and Luo Yumei and Liu Qian were responsible for serving the soldiers' families.
Zhou Weihong was just watching from the side, and no one was allowed to take away an extra portion.
"Hit more, there are plenty at home." The older military dependents would speak up.
“Didn’t you see there’s more to come? There are only so many dishes in total, you should try them all.” Zhou Weihong put her hands on her hips.
Cheng Jinghao and the others came over to invite them, and they stood behind to serve the dishes.
"Didn't you see how little oil was put into this dish? This is all Comrade Lin's own oil. Be content."
The military wife began to speak. She even fried the free vegetables in the middle of winter with her own oil.
"That's right. Didn't you see Comrade Lin cooking in the kitchen? He didn't even take a break. He owes us something again."
Cheng Jinghao looked at Lin Momo in the kitchen. At that moment, she seemed to be radiating light, dazzling and warm.
At this time, two figures appeared in the yard, they were Liu Cuihua and her daughter.
Liu Qian and Luo Yumei looked at each other and wondered why they were here.
The two of them didn't say anything and put some food into Liu Cuihua's lunch box.
"My daughter has another copy." Liu Cuihua said.
"There is only one copy for each family. Didn't you understand the broadcast?" Zhou Weihong looked at the mother and daughter.
"We are two families, and my son-in-law is the deputy battalion commander."
"Is your son-in-law allocated a house? Is your daughter yours?" Zhou Weihong said with her hands on her hips. Does she understand what he said?
"How can such a small amount be enough to eat?"
In fact, each dish is not small, of course, if you eat as much as you want, it will definitely be enough.
"Then don't eat it." Zhou Weihong was about to take the dish back from her hand.
"No, no, that's enough." Liu Cuihua quickly pulled her daughter away.
"Be content." Zhou Weihong said as she looked at the backs of the mother and daughter.
Other military dependents would at least say thank you, but these mother and daughter didn't even say a word.
It was already past 12 o'clock when they finished the work. When Lin Momo was frying water spinach in the kitchen, Li He helped her, and the two of them made lunch.
At noon, Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao also went to Cheng Jinghao's house for lunch.
The lunch was simple, just tsampa and a few fried dishes.
"What is this? Soybeans? It's delicious. I've never eaten such delicious scrambled eggs." Commander Chen said, pointing at the scrambled eggs with soybeans.
“This is cured beans,” said Zhou Weihong, who is from Hunan Province and this is a farm dish from that province.
"I haven't eaten it for many years. Momo's bacon is really good."
"My mother taught me how to do it. Her colleague is from Hunan Province." Lin Momo explained.
Zhou Weihong looked at Lin Momo. This little girl really knew everything and was willing to learn everything. Her son is not married yet, but she wants to find her as his daughter-in-law.
