Chapter 46: Soldiers are not afraid of death, but those who are afraid of death do not join the army
When Lin Momo went back, she asked Liu Qian and Luo Mei to go with her.
"It's snowing so heavily, why don't you take us to your house to chat?" Luo Mei said with a smile. (It means chatting.)
"Let me give you something good to eat." Lin Momo said mysteriously.
When they arrived at Li He's house, Lin Momo called Li He again.
After returning home, Lin Momo went to the kitchen, took out the glutinous rice flour, and kneaded some small glutinous rice balls.
I cooked a few bowls of sweet wine and eggs, and added some brown sugar.
When it was brought to the main room, the three of them couldn't help but exclaim, "What a nice, sweet smell."
"Is this the sweet wine you mentioned the other day?" Li He asked.
"Yes, drink it while it's hot. It's good for women." Lin Momo said, scooping up a glutinous rice ball with a spoon and blowing on it.
"These little meatballs are sticky and delicious." Luo Mei was very satisfied with the meal.
"It's sweet. Did you add brown sugar?" Liu Qian asked.
"Well, it's somewhat sweet, so I added some brown sugar. If you don't like sweet food, you can leave out the sugar or add white sugar." Lin Momo explained.
"What does it mean to be nice to a woman?" Li He asked puzzled.
"If you eat it a few days after your period, you'll leave more cleanly and get rid of a lot of dirt." Lin Momo said seriously. She would eat a little in the two days after her period.
(About eating sweet wine and eggs a few days after your period, this is what we say in my hometown. I also do this every time, but the advice on the Internet is not to eat sweet wine during your period, so it varies from person to person, please don't criticize!)
"What? Then you teach me how to do it later. I can't clean it cleanly every time. It's so annoying." Liu Qian said in a low voice.
"Okay, take some from me first. I've made quite a lot."
After everyone finished eating, Lin Momo taught them how to make sweet wine and how to make sweet wine with eggs after the sweet wine was made.
When the three of them left, Lin Momo poured them some more sweet wine.

Because all Tibetan areas celebrate the Tibetan New Year, but the people living in the military district family compounds are all Han people, so the New Year in the military district family compounds is a few days earlier than in the village.
On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the combat team conducted the year-end assessment.
Except for Cheng Jinghao, all the twenty-two people in the two teams lay on the ground, completely ignoring the thick snow on the ground.
"Old Cheng, did you eat explosives this year? You are doing this? You are going to kill us." Zhao Zhigang lay on the ground and didn't want to move at all.
Cheng Jinghao crossed his arms and curled his lips, "Congratulations everyone, you have passed the assessment this year, let's continue next year."
He clapped his hands and went home to be with his wife on vacation.
"Hey, Lao Cheng, why don't you help me go back?"
"Old Cheng, don't leave."
"team leader......"
Cheng Jinghao listened to the wailing behind him, turned around, walked forward and kicked each of them.
"That's all, why are you pretending? I don't know you guys, do I?"
Only then did more than twenty people get up.
"We are alive again this year and have made it to the year-end assessment." Zhao Zhigang said with a smile.
"We will survive the assessment every year." Cheng Jinghao hit his shoulder.
"Yes, we will pass the assessment alive every year." Xu Gang shouted.
"Ha ha......"
More than twenty people were laughing, playing and frolicking together.
There were several figures standing on the windowsill, including Commander Chen, Political Commissar Cao, and several division commanders.
Looking at this group of young figures, they all smiled.
After parting with the team, Cheng Jinghao and Zhao Zhigang went back together.
"What time does the bus leave?" Cheng Jinghao asked. Zhao Zhigang was going to take Li He and the children home to celebrate the New Year this year.
"The later bus."
"Then I'll drive you there, otherwise it will be difficult for you to leave." Cheng Jinghao said.
"Then I won't be polite with you." Zhao Zhigang put his arm around Cheng Jinghao's shoulders.
"Will you be polite to me?" Cheng Jinghao raised the corner of his lips.
"Haha." Zhao Zhigang laughed, "I won't be back until the 15th."
He hasn't been back for three years. This vacation is longer, but the round trip still takes 6 days.
"You have to stay for a while." Cheng Jinghao looked at Zhao Zhigang. He was the only one left among the three brothers in their family.
"Old Zhao, have you ever thought about retiring from the army? Or quitting the team?" Cheng Jinghao recalled the scene of his previous life.
Although he will try his best to avoid it, nothing is absolute after all.
"We agreed that you would be the army commander and I would be the political commissar. What's the matter? Do you want to get rid of me?" Zhao Zhigang hit him hard on the chest.
"The men of my Zhao family are born to go to the battlefield." Zhao Zhigang looked to the south.
Zhao Zhigang's grandparents are both veteran Red Army soldiers and now live in the compound of the Eastern Military Region.
His father and uncle both died in the civil war with the South Bank that year, and his two brothers also died in the mission to eliminate spies, and even their bodies were not brought back.
It stands to reason that he doesn't need a mission, but both the old man of the Zhao family and himself insist on going to the battlefield.
"Be a soldier if you are not afraid of death. If you are afraid of death, don't join the army." Zhao Zhigang withdrew his gaze.
"Remember to bring me some seafood when you come back. My wife loves it." Cheng Jinghao ended the topic.
"Dry?" If this were alive, wouldn't the road be smelly?
"Okay, I'll give you the money when I get back."
"Let's talk about money? It'll hurt our feelings." Zhao Zhigang said with a smile.
"Didn't you pay for the bones I gave you last time?" Cheng Jinghao glanced at him.
"......"
In the evening, Cheng Jinghao sent Zhao Zhigang's family to the station. When he got home, it was already starry night.
The light was still on in the room and Lin Momo hadn't gone to sleep yet.
The general took off his coat in the main room before he walked into the room. Lin Momo was still leaning on the kang reading a book.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Cheng Jinghao walked over and hugged her.
"Waiting for you." Lin Momo put the book down. She felt relieved when he came back.
The road was long and there was snow, so the road was already covered by snow.
"Are we going to buy New Year's goods tomorrow?" Cheng Jinghao asked.
"Forget it, it's ok to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, the things are almost the same. Didn't the cafeteria distribute New Year pigs during the Chinese New Year?"
Every Chinese New Year, the military district would distribute pork according to position. Those living in the family quarters could take it home, and those living in the military district dormitories could eat in the canteen with tickets.
"Yes, I should get 10 kilograms per year." This is the amount of the deputy head of the group.
"There's so much, so you don't need to buy any more." They still have a supermarket, and they bought so much mutton and beef last time. If they buy more this time, people will gossip about them.
"Okay, the meat will be distributed the day after tomorrow. We'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow." Cheng Jinghao moved over a few inches.
"Wife."
"Um?"
"Wife, I miss you." Cheng Jinghao said in a hoarse voice.
Lin Momo put her hands around his neck and offered her red lips to him. The two of them hugged each other tightly and kissed each other passionately.
Lin Momo was not released until she could hardly breathe.
"Wife."
"Um?"
"I love you, I will always love you!"
"Hubby, I love you too, I will always love you!"
Cheng Jinghao pulled her into his arms and kissed her again.
