Chapter 38: Renovating the house, meeting a black youth at the market
The little girl sleeping beside him, perhaps feeling his body temperature, began to nudge into his arms, snuggling into his arms like a little kitten.
And then... her hand fell on the most sensitive part of his man...
Captain Gu finally recited the military discipline and rules over and over again, and it took him more than ten times to get through the night!
…………
Lu Chiyu had been daydreaming for most of the night and woke up late again the next day. When she got up, her soldier had already prepared breakfast for her.
Today, Lu Chiyu's breakfast was red date porridge with two eggs. After breakfast, Gu Yuan went to the logistics department to ask someone to decorate the house for them.
This time, the military district was very generous and gave Gu Yuan seven days of marriage leave, because the infertile soldier Gu Yuan finally got married, which put his mind at ease for the military district leaders.
In addition, Gu Yuan hadn't had a vacation for a long time, so they approved him for this vacation quite readily.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Yuan wanted to renovate the house while he was still at home.
Lu Chiyu's decoration plan was very detailed, and the young couple was not short of money. Gu Yuan's young soldiers also rushed to help.
In the end, it only took five days to repair the house.
After repairing the house and settling the bill with the logistics department and sending them away, Lu Chiyu looked at the brand new house and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
A brand new toilet, a front yard made entirely of bluestone with only two flower beds left, freshly painted walls, a bright bay window in the master bedroom, a bluestone path leading to the backyard, and a vegetable patch divided into pieces by bluestone.
Everything was to her liking!
Imagine that in the future she will plant all kinds of her favorite flowers in the flower bed in the front yard, plant lush green vegetables in the backyard, and the fruit trees will be full of heavy fruits. Lu Chiyu feels that living in such a single-family house, life is even more beautiful than poetry.
So I really want to thank He Manman and his wife for helping them get the house and giving them a huge sum of 500 yuan to renovate the house. They are really kind people!
They only spent 499 yuan on this renovation, and they will never be able to spend it all.
Lu Chiyu decided that the next time he saw He Manman, she would be nicer!
He Manman: ...Are you going to kill someone and destroy their soul?!
Thinking about how Gu Yuan's young soldiers had come to help with the house renovation, Lu Chiyu couldn't help but say to Gu Yuan:
"Yuanyuan, Comrade Yang Jie and his team helped us a lot with the move and renovation. Shouldn't we pay them some wages or treat them to a meal?"
Yang Jie is the name of the squad leader who took the lead in helping, and he is also the young soldier who helped drive the wedding car on their wedding day.
Gu Yuan pondered and said, "There's no need to pay them. We can just treat them to a simple meal at home tomorrow."
Lu Chiyu naturally had no objection to this: "Then let's draw up a menu for tomorrow and go buy the ingredients tomorrow morning. Don't worry, my cooking skills are pretty good, and I will definitely make this meal well.
By the way, let’s buy some more seafood, I think it’s delicious.”
Gu Yuan laughed dumbly when he saw her acting like a hostess: "Okay, I will help too."
The next morning, the young couple got up at six o'clock because they were going to buy food at the market organized by several nearby production teams.
This kind of market usually opens early and closes quickly, so you'd better go early.
Originally, Gu Yuan wanted to go alone, but Lu Chiyu had not been out for so many days since she came to the military area. She was curious about everything and wanted to go out for a walk, so she begged Gu Yuan to take her with him.
When we arrived at the market at exactly seven o'clock, the place was already crowded with people.
They first went to the poultry section to buy live chickens and ducks.
Coincidentally, the stall owner was someone he knew. He was the black young man Lu Chiyu met on the road on the day he came to the military area.
The other party immediately recognized them, scratched his head, chuckled, and said, "Hello... hello, do you want to buy chickens and ducks? If so, I can give you a discount."
"We want to buy a chicken and a duck. The chicken must be about one year old." Lu Chiyu said.
When they want to make a boiled chicken, it is best to use a one-year-old chicken, but there are no strict requirements for the duck.
"Then you can pick this capon. It's just over a year old, tender and fat enough. We'll pick you a big duck."
Seeing that the chicken picked by the black young man was indeed very good, Lu Chiyu nodded secretly, and soon they picked out two chickens and a duck.
Seeing that the black young man still had eggs, Gu Yuan waved his hand and bought all twenty eggs.
The temperature on the island is only five or six degrees in winter, so the eggs are easy to harvest.
Lu Chiyu saw that the black young man also had cured meat, cured sausage, cured chicken, cured duck, as well as dried seafood such as dried abalone, dried shrimp, and dried squid.
She bought a lot of everything with a wave of her hand, planning to divide the food into four portions, one for themselves to eat, and the remaining three to be sent to Gu's mother, Aunt Zhou and Song Hui respectively.
Seeing that they bought a lot, the black young man carefully explained to them how to cook each kind of dried seafood to make it delicious.
In this way, Lu Chiyu bought three sacks of things.
Seeing that they bought so many things, the black young man counted on his fingers and calculated the lowest price for each item.
For example, if the market price of a chicken is 1.2 yuan per pound, he only charges 90 cents, a duck costs 1.2 yuan per pound, he charges 80 cents, and eggs cost 50 cents per pound, he charges 40 cents.
He also gave Lu Chiyu a two-pound bag of dried shrimps.
Lu Chiyu was amused when he saw this, and couldn't help asking him if there would be any problems if he sold it this way, and whether he had the decision.
The black youth replied that it was okay, they went to the market to sell things and the prices were high and low, the price he gave did not exceed the lowest price his father gave, and his father would not scold him if he could sell it for money.
As for the dried shrimps, he caught them and dried them himself, so he has the final say.
The black youth’s father: …You are truly my good son.
Lu Chiyu saw that the black youth offered a fair price and the quality of the goods was good. During the conversation, she also learned that the other party's father was the captain of the first production team on the island.
Thinking that he still needed to buy some southern-specific supplements for Gu's mother and the others, he asked the black young man if he could get these things.
It is better to deal with people you know than to make friends with them. Lu Chiyu was afraid of being ripped off when buying from strangers. Besides, the black youth's father was the team leader, so he knew that he would have more connections.
The result was very surprising. The black young man told Lu Chiyu that his grandmother was a local doctor and there were many supplements at home such as Dendrobium officinale, Chinese angelica, bird's nest, etc.
Lu Chiyu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately expressed her desire to buy it, so the two agreed to go to Hei Qingnian's house tomorrow to choose one.
After leaving the black youth's stall, Lu Chiyu thought that the land in the third-level space and the vegetable garden in the backyard needed to be planted, so she bought a bunch of seeds from another stall selling seeds of various crops.
Gu Yuan didn't care what she bought. He just let her buy whatever she wanted and he was only responsible for paying.
In his eyes, Lu Chiyu is just a little girl. It's normal for her to want to plant everything in the backyard. He just needs to spoil her.
After buying the seeds, there was no place left on their bicycles to put their things, so they stopped shopping at the market and went straight to the seafood stand next to the supply and marketing cooperative.
They are going to buy seafood!
Lu Chiyu was thinking excitedly about her big lobster and big abalone, here she comes!
