I don’t know what Lu Shiwei and Gu Li talked about that night, but Gu Li left the Gu family happily early the next morning.
Su Yan got up at six o'clock today. That bastard Lu Ting was too annoying. Not only did he hold her tightly last night, but he also pushed against her as soon as she woke up in the morning. He was so unsatisfied that he held her, kissed and nibbled her. So she simply got up and went out for a run.
At this time, Lu Jin, who was sleeping next door, also woke up. Maybe he was not used to sleeping in an unfamiliar place.
Su Yan jogged around the compound for half an hour. When the aunties and grandmas who woke up early in the morning saw her, they thought she was just bored because she had too much to eat. Other soldiers had to train every day to exercise their bodies and serve the motherland.
Everyone is already hungry, and I don’t know what she’s doing as a little girl. She can save energy and eat less, which can also save food, right?
After running, Su Yan went home to wash her face and then went to Lu's house with Lu Ting and Lu Jin for breakfast.
Because today was Lu Jin's first breakfast since returning, Hua Min specially took out two kilograms of noodles and made a bowl of egg noodles for everyone.
The others had one poached egg in their bowls, while Su Yan and Lu Jin had two in their bowls.
Su Yan didn't like boiled eggs very much, so she took one out and gave it to her mother-in-law, and also took the yolk of the remaining egg in her bowl and gave it to Lu Ting.
"Yan Yan, don't you like poached eggs? Why did you give me all the eggs?"
"Mom, you've worked hard. Please eat more. I actually like fried eggs."
"Then I'll fry another one for you now!"
"Thank you, Mom. No thanks."
Lu Ting silently remembered his wife's words in his heart. Suddenly, he said to Lu Fengnian, "Dad, I decided to build a small kitchen in the hallway at the door. Sometimes when it's inconvenient for you to come over for dinner, I can cook at home."
Corridors in this era are two meters wide, which is enough to build a simple kitchen.
"Are you going to burn firewood or coal briquettes? If you are going to burn coal briquettes, if you put them in the corridor, they will be taken away in a few days.
So many people live on the same floor, you know who took it, put the briquettes in the living room and made the house dirty."
Lu Ting thought for a moment and said, "I'll have someone make a big wooden box and put it under the window."
But Su Yan didn't really want to stand in the corridor to cook every day. If she cooked meat, people would definitely watch her, and her clothes would also be hung out to dry in the corridor.
"Lu Ting, our clothes are all drying in the corridor. If we're not careful, they might smell like cooking fumes."
Since we are going to build a stove on the balcony, we naturally have to consider these issues. My wife is right, we have to find a way.
"Or, we can use cement and red bricks to build a stove on the balcony and make two stove eyes.
One side is made to burn wood, and the other side has a coal stove core, and then a large baffle is built on the stove, and a large chimney is opened to the outside.
When you don’t have coal briquettes, you can burn firewood. There are many mountains here and you can pick up firewood easily.
It's impossible for them to not cook for their entire lives, so it's enough to go back to Lu's house for a meal or two occasionally. He wants to make delicious food for his wife.
Lu Ting has his own arrangements, and Su Yan naturally supports him. It is indeed not very convenient for her to run back and forth to the Lu family for meals.
"I'll go buy some kitchen utensils if you need any. Lu Ting, go get your bike registered when you have time."
"Okay, I know."
As long as their bicycles are registered and filed, no one would dare to steal them. If they are not registered, they wouldn’t know if someone cut the lock and rode away, because all new bicycles are exactly the same.
You can't just grab anyone and ask him to show you the receipt for buying a bicycle, right?
"Yan Yan, you guys have to light the fire and cook. We haven't bought anything for you."
"Mom, no need. I bought the rice cooker and iron pot yesterday."
Lu Fengnian naturally supported his son and daughter-in-law to cook their own meals. It was indeed not very convenient for them to run back and forth to eat.
"Xiaoyan, you and Lu Jin should come with me to the farm for breakfast."
Gu Li finally left the Lu family. It was great without that annoying guy at home. It seemed like everyone was talking politely.
"Dad, how far is the farm from here?"
"It's another five kilometers inside, which isn't very far. Once Lu Ting gets his bicycle license plate, you can ride your bike over. Let's just walk there today."
Well, five kilometers is just five thousand meters, so it’s not too far to walk. It’s just that the direction is exactly opposite to the direction of the military hospital. It takes more than ten kilometers to walk back to my mother’s house from the farm.
Lu Fengnian took Su Yan and Lu Jin to the farm. September was the season for harvesting spring wheat. They passed by a field of golden wheat and saw a group of soldiers busy harvesting wheat.
It's such a pity. After three years of drought, the river is almost dry. Now they can only grow drought-resistant wheat and cotton, and cannot grow rice.
"Dad, the mountain across the way doesn't seem very big. It's covered with small shrubs."
"That mountain is three hundred acres. What? Are you planning to take it?"
"Dad, I think that mountain isn't very big, nor is it very high. We can open up the mountain and plant fruit trees. We can interplant medicinal herbs under the fruit trees and raise some chickens and ducks on the mountain. What do you think?"
It sounds easy to reclaim wasteland on a mountain, but it is actually not that simple to do. To completely reclaim two or three hundred acres of wasteland on a mountain, a company will need at least two or three years to complete the task.
However, their farm only had a few hundred acres of farmland, a pig farm, and a soap factory. It would be nice to open up a barren hill to plant fruit trees, and then their army could even build a cannery.
"Your suggestion is very good. Indeed, many troops have begun to reclaim wasteland. I just don't know what kind of fruits and medicinal herbs are suitable for growing in this mountainous area?"
