Chapter 147: Food, Sex, and Human Nature

"It's okay, it's okay. It's the same way. It's okay."

Sister He put down the things she brought and looked around for a moment. "You really need to buy some things here. But I have some unused things over there. If you don't mind, why don't you take them over and use them first?"

"Isn't this inconvenient?"

“Convenient, convenient.”

Sister He was very enthusiastic. She held Huang Xinran's hand and said happily, "We are neighbors. How can it be more convenient than this? Apart from other things, at least this stool can come in handy. You wait, I'll be back soon!"

Having said that, she turned and ran away, and soon came back with four small stools.

"This basket contains some vegetables I grew myself. They are not worth much. Please don't be disgusted. Eat them first. If you like them later, you can go directly to my field to pick them... Oh, by the way! Logically, your family should also have some land, but since the original Mao couple demobilized and moved away, I have been taking care of their land. When you are free later, I will show it to you."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sister He."

Huang Xinran quickly took out the red dates and fruit candies she had brought and offered them to Sister He: "If you hadn't mentioned this, I would be completely clueless and wouldn't understand anything. I might even be hungry."

"Not really. It's actually very convenient for us to live here. If we don't have a stove at home, we can also let your husband go to the canteen to get food. He won't be hungry..."

Huang Xinran chatted with Sister He for a while and drank some water. Knowing that Huang Xinran had just moved in and had a lot of things to do, Sister He offered to take her leave.

After she left, the two children gathered around.

"You two are the only ones at home, where is your dad?"

"Dad said he was going shopping, and that you were too tired last night and needed to sleep a little longer, so he asked us not to wake you up."

"Ah, so that's it..."

Huang Xinran's ears were burning. This stinky man even said such words to a child. How hateful!

However, a sweet feeling rose in her heart again, and she felt full of energy.

I was busy packing the luggage I brought with me. I took out the clothes and hung them up with ropes, took out the dirty clothes and washed them. When I was really busy tidying up the medium-sized area in the yard, Lu Yunchen came back.

He brought back an extra camp bed and a folding table. When he put them down, he looked at Huang Xinran with sparks in his eyes. "I've agreed with someone that the coal briquettes will be delivered this afternoon. We can just use firewood to hold out for this meal."

"Okay, we took down a lot of firewood yesterday, so it's enough."

Huang Xinran avoided his gaze and didn't dare to look him directly.

The man was obviously pleased with her embarrassment. He followed her gaze and got closer and closer: "That's good. I'll just make something simple for lunch. Just enough to fill your stomach."

"OK."

Huang Xinran dodged again, pretending to open the folding table and deliberately not looking at him.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly came over to help, and in the midst of the busyness, he grabbed her hand. Huang Xinran was so scared that she hastily retracted her hand and almost dropped the folding table. If Lu Yunchen had not acted quickly to pick it up, it would have hit Huang Xinran's foot.

"you……"

She was frightened and glared at him fiercely, then ran into the compartment at the back.

Lu Yunchen chased after her and looked into her eyes, which were filled with lust: "Are you okay? Did I hurt you last night?"

Boom! ~

Huang Xinran's face turned completely red.

She couldn't bear it any longer, so she turned around and punched her a few times: "You, you still have the nerve to say that? Disgusting..."

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."

He hurriedly coaxed her: "I'm just afraid of hurting you. If you don't like to hear it, I won't ask again in the future."

It is said that food and sex are human nature.

Huang Xinran has been single for all these years, and except for the time when she fell in love with Yaya and Maomao, she has never had another man.

Why isn't he Lu Yunchen?

The army is a big melting pot. It's okay when the training is heavy and the mind is empty on weekdays, but once they have free time, a bunch of big men sit together, what else can they talk about except women?

This is not the age of mobile phones as it is in later generations, and there are no short videos and games to fill up our spare time.

When talking about women, the old soldiers chatted about all sorts of things, but what they talked about the most were the things that happened after they put down their tents.

Whenever this happened, Lu Yunchen would just listen quietly. Even if someone asked him to say something, he would just joke around.

In fact, he was so young and nervous, and drunk, that he had only a vague memory of how it all worked out.

What else can you say?

Therefore, the combination of the two of them last night was the first time in the true sense that he was awake. For the first time, he understood what a gentle country was, and understood why those old soldiers had ambiguous and obscene expressions when they mentioned women.

I also understand the true meaning of the saying, "Women are made of water."

Huang Xinran was almost melted by the flames burning in the man's eyes. She could hardly stand and tried to evade him with difficulty: "Get out, get out quickly! It's broad daylight, it would be bad if someone saw us..."

"Okay, then I'll come back tonight..."

A man who had tasted the sweetness of sex smiled wickedly and couldn't help but gave her a big kiss on the cheek, then walked out in a swagger.

Huang Xinran was left with blushing cheeks, cursing while wiping away the wet marks on her cheeks.

Why did she feel that after their relationship broke through that level, his attitude towards her seemed to be closer?

Is it her illusion?

In order to save firewood, Huang Xinran just cooked some noodles at noon.

I washed some of the vegetables that Sister He brought and threw them into the noodles to add a touch of green. I also buried a poached egg at the bottom of each person's bowl for nutrition.

Although it was just plain white noodles, the whole family enjoyed it very much.

Even Yaya, who is always a picky eater, managed to finish half a bowl.

In the afternoon, when the coal briquettes were delivered, the neighbors came to visit the Lu family one after another. Of course, everyone brought something, some brought food, some brought snacks, and some brought money. Huang Xinran accepted them all and recorded them all in the account book.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. If you make a mistake, it will be difficult to return the favor.

Because he hadn't eaten meat since yesterday, and the house needed some fried food, in the evening, Huang Xinran cut a piece of bacon the size of two palms that he brought from his hometown and made a dish of hot pot meat.

I added carrots and green peppers to the meat and put the excess oil in a bowl aside for later use. Suddenly, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of meat.

In fact, it is already the new year of the lunar calendar. After entering 1981, everyone's living conditions have gradually improved, and there is no shortage of oil and meat at home. But after all, everyone's stomach is not yet filled with fat. When they smell meat, their mouths can't stop saliva.

When the meat was taken out of the pot, Huang Xinran found two unfamiliar children standing at the kitchen door.

Looking at the cooked pork in her hand, his eyes glowed green.
