Congcong was awakened by the smell of chicken soup outside.
But at this moment Linglong had already gotten up and gone to work.
There are three people in the family, including Aunt Tong, Tong Dazhu and others.
The continuous rain outside made Zheng Tiansen decide to take the soldiers down the mountain.
Because everyone was caught in the rain, after catching up with the troops, Zheng Tiansen ordered everyone to rest today to prevent anyone from falling ill.
Not only that, when Linglong went to work just now, he asked Xiaojiang to go with him and tell the quartermaster to cook more ginger soup in the canteen today to cool the soldiers down.
The weather is getting a little warmer now, but the early spring rain is still quite cold.
Xiao Jiang came over as soon as he finished his work. The chicken soup was almost done and several people were drinking the delicious chicken soup from their bowls.
When stewing the soup, Linglong also added some more ginger slices, and it tastes just right now.
Congcong smelled the fragrance and woke up. Linglong was no longer there and she was not clamoring for her like before. He looked at Zheng Tiansen and remembered who he was. He happily ran over and hugged his legs.
He walks more steadily now and even dares to run.
When playing closely with Zheng Tiansen, Congcong set his eyes on the chicken soup in his hand.
"Congcong, yes, yes."
Zheng Tiansen looked at Aunt Tong in embarrassment. "Auntie, can Congcong drink?"
He also didn't know what a child of this age could eat and drink and what he couldn't.
Congcong is still young and there are many things that need attention.
"He can drink it, but he can drink it too much. I'll put some noodles in the chicken soup to soften it up so he can eat and drink it at the same time."
"Mom, please give me more. I want to eat too." Tong Dazhu licked his lips when he heard that.
"Okay, more rain."
Even if Zheng Tiansen and Xiao Jiang didn't ask, Aunt Tong still included their share.
She knew how much these young people could eat, and how could they be full just by drinking soup?
The food was almost ready. Aunt Tong took out some chicken soup and immediately put the remaining soup on the fire to boil. She threw the noodles in and it was ready in a few minutes.
Soon, the sound of slurping noodles could be heard in the room.
Aunt Tong fed Congcong a small bowl of chicken noodle soup and then let Congcong go play by himself.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Xiao Jiang rushed to clean up and wash the dishes. Aunt Tong couldn't stop him and just let him go.
After eating, Zheng Tiansen played with Congcong for a long time. When Congcong was tired, he and Xiao Jiang got up and left.
In the cafeteria, because a large number of troops came down from the mountain, more meals had to be prepared.
After receiving Xiao Jiang's message, the quartermaster immediately ordered the canteen to prepare a large pot of ginger soup.
As soon as the ginger soup was cooked, it was distributed to the soldiers to drink.
After sweating and having a good rest and sleep, and then regular training, soldiers with good physical fitness will hardly get sick.
After Zheng Tiansen and Xiao Jiang left Tong's house, he did not go directly to the dormitory to rest, but first went to the dormitory of the next battalion company.
Seeing that no one was particularly uncomfortable, I left with peace of mind.
I met with Political Commissar Hao and learned about his military affairs during the days he spent in the mountains. Then it was time for lunch.
Because the large group of troops in the regiment went down the mountain in a hurry without any notice, the food reserves in the canteen were not enough.
So for lunch I could only make pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli. Of course, there was only a little bit of pork, and I thought it would be good as long as it tasted good.
But in addition to the dishes, Linglong also cooked soup.
In the morning, the soldiers drank ginger soup to sweat, and she made hot and sour soup for them at noon.
This was the first time she made this soup in the cafeteria, and even the soldiers who couldn't handle spicy food liked it.
Zheng Tiansen has a good tolerance for spicy food and drank a full bowl.
If the portion wasn't limited, he would have liked another bowl.
After dinner, he took the time to talk to Linglong.
"Congcong, be obedient. After eating chicken noodle soup, I've saved some chicken soup for you. Remember to drink it tonight."
Linglong smiled. "Just drink it up, why leave me some? You guys still have a few pheasants. If you want some, I can make more."
"You worked so hard to make this, you have to try it, right? Oh, and don't be stingy with the other things. We brought them here just to make you, Congcong, and Auntie better."
"I understand, but Brother Zheng, there are so many good things on the mountain."
Seeing her eyes sparkling when she mentioned the mountain, Zheng Tiansen smiled and asked, "Want to go?"
Linglong nodded. "Yes."
"Next time there's a chance, I'll take you up the mountain to play."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Not far away, seeing the two of them standing together and talking intimately, Sister Yuan cursed under her breath.
After leaving the cafeteria, Zheng Tiansen also felt a little tired. Finally, he stopped busying himself and had a good sleep in the dormitory.
The rain gradually became lighter, and Congcong looked at the rain outside and wanted to go out.
Outside, there were already children running around and playing in the water.
Aunt Tong saw Congcong's yearning, but still didn't let him go out.
Or because Congcong is too young, I’m afraid he’ll get sick from getting caught in the rain.
"Congcong, be good. When you grow up a little, you can go out and play in the water."
"Congcong, big." Congcong said immediately.
"Yes, Congcong, eat well and sleep well, and you will grow up."
Congcong nodded vigorously, he remembered it.
Looking at his cute little appearance, Aunt Tong liked him so much.
Seeing the rain gradually subsiding, Linglong in the cafeteria suddenly had an idea.
"Sister Niu, is there any unused wood stored somewhere around here?"
"Linglong, why are you asking this?"
The reason why Linglong asked this was because she remembered that when the humidity is high after rain, some rotten wood is more likely to grow wood ear mushrooms.
This wood ear is a good thing.
"Sister Niu, I want to pick some wood ear mushrooms."
After she explained it, Sister Niu became more cheerful.
The two of them went to talk to the quartermaster. The quartermaster thought that he was not busy at the moment and did not expect them to bring much to add to the canteen's dishes, but he still agreed to let them go.
After they left, Sister Yuan felt even more upset.
But she didn't dare to complain to the quartermaster at the moment.
The army's camp was next to a forest, and there was quite a lot of rotten wood.
When they came out, Linglong and Sister Niu took the baskets of vegetables from the cafeteria.
There was only a drizzle outside at this time, and the two of them didn't feel wet, so they just continued searching.
Smelling the scent of soil after the rain, Linglong felt much better.
"Linglong, here it is." Sister Niu called her in surprise.
"Here I come."
After their hard work, they finally picked half a basket of fresh wood ear mushrooms.
Although it is far from enough to add more dishes to the canteen, it is still okay to prepare a special meal for them.
When I got there, everyone was busy preparing lunch, and Linglong and Sister Niu quickly joined in.
However, after finishing the soldiers' meals, seeing that there was still some time left, Linglong washed some wood ear mushrooms, added some green onions, and stir-fried a few dishes for everyone, which was considered a benefit for the people in the kitchen.
When the quartermaster came to eat, he also enjoyed it.
Not all the fungus was used up, so Linglong shared the rest with Sister Niu, and they each took it home after get off work.
Sister Yuan was envious. "Hmph, just wait and see. If I go back to the city, I'll definitely find something to hold against you."
