"Okay." There's no problem with eating, as long as they don't have to stay overnight.
Aunt Zhou turned on the radio for them, then went to the kitchen to get a basket of vegetables and was about to leave.
Xu Manman stepped forward and said, "Aunt Zhou, how about we go with you?"
"No, it's cold outside. Just sit inside. I'll be back soon."
"We have nothing to do here, so we can help you carry some things if we go together." Xu Manman said softly.
It’s said that girls are nice. Under Xu Manman’s offensive, Aunt Zhou couldn’t say no, and the purchase of groceries ended up being a trip of three.
There are also service points similar to supply and marketing cooperatives in the compound to facilitate the lives of military families.
Arriving at the vegetable stand, "Hey, Doctor Zhou, where did you find such energetic young men and women?"
Aunt Zhou smiled cheerfully and said, "They are from the family of my husband's comrade-in-arms. Both siblings were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University. They were sent to the countryside from the same place as my brother's second child, and all of them were admitted to the educated youth camp." I heard the latter from my second nephew last night.
"Oh my goodness, in the past, that would have been a top scholar."
"That's right, the girl is very good at studying and is the top scholar in the province!"
"Then we have to prepare something good today. Come on, these are the eggplants and cucumbers that were just served this morning, and this meat..." This elder sister was also lively and started promoting the dishes directly. In later generations, this would be a good candidate for doing business.
In the end, Aunt Zhou was so excited about shopping that she couldn't even put all the vegetables in one basket, and Chen Ming's hands were full.
When we were going back, we said, "Call Zhou Ming and Xiao Li over later, you young people can have some fun."
He brought the two of them to a small courtyard that was exactly the same as the Wang family's. He pushed the gate and went in. The door was not locked.
The three of them walked in and met Zhou Ming's eyes in the living room. "Auntie, Chen Ming? Xu Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?"
"Mingming, how could it be such a coincidence? Manman and Xiaoming are the niece and nephew of his comrade-in-arms that your uncle Wang mentioned."
"Ah?" Zhou Ming didn't react for a moment after hearing that.
Aunt Zhou looked around but didn't see her nephew's wife. "Is Xiaoli home?"
"Upstairs sorting things out."
"Tell Xiaoli to stop working. Let's go to my aunt's house together in the afternoon and play with Manman. We'll have dinner at my aunt's house in the evening."
"Oh, okay." Zhou Ming went upstairs to call someone.
When Liu Li came downstairs, she was also very surprised to see the brother and sister. She greeted her aunt first. "Aunt."
He turned to look at Xu Manman, "Manman! I didn't believe what Zhou Ming told me just now."
Xu Manman scratched her head. "I only knew it a little earlier than you did."
Seeing that her nephew's wife and Xu Manman had such a good relationship, Aunt Zhou looked at her gently and said, "Mingming, go to the army and tell your uncle and your parents that we can have dinner together at home tonight. I will take her back first." After that, she walked out with her people.
Xu Manman and Liu Li held Aunt Zhou's hands on the left and right.
Liu Li said, "Zhou Ming asked you to come over yesterday. If you had come earlier, there wouldn't be such a big circle."
Aunt Zhou nodded, "Yes, I said I should have brought them back with me. When you were talking about it at dinner last night, I thought it was a coincidence that they were both siblings who were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University.
When Manman came over today, she said that Zhou Ming and Liu Li had sent it to her, so that makes sense!"
Liu Li asked Xu Manman, "Are you still staying in the guesthouse?"
Xu Manman was afraid to bring up this question, so she quickly replied, "The guesthouse is close to the school. I already registered at the school this morning, and the dormitory has been arranged."
"Oh, I was thinking of you staying at your aunt's house for a few days so I could visit you." Liu Li married far away. Her hometown was in the south, and she had never been to her husband's house before marriage. Here, except for Zhou Ming, she didn't know anyone else.
Fortunately, her husband's family treated her well and had no prejudice against her family background, so she didn't feel uncomfortable. However, she was unfamiliar with the place and couldn't even leave the house.
It is impossible to live here.
When we arrived at Wang's house, Aunt Zhou prepared tea, melon seeds and peanuts.
"You young people, chat first. I'll go cook."
"Aunt Zhou, let me help." Xu Manman and Liu Li didn't dare to let their elders serve them food and drink.
"You are all my guests today. How can I let guests do anything? Listen up. Today I will let you taste my cooking skills. You guys just sit down and have some tea and chat.
Xiaoli, please help your aunt entertain Manman. Manman, Xiaoming, just like at home, eat and drink as usual, the meal will be ready soon.
