"Well, I heard that your family bought a refrigerator, and I just wanted to take a look." Wang Juan said.
"Look, the refrigerator is here." Linglong pointed with a smile.
"Is this expensive?"
"It's okay. We bought medium-quality ones. There are also imported ones that are more expensive. But I think this is enough. There's no need to buy something so expensive."
"I see."
"Sister-in-law, let me open it for you."
Seeing Linglong so enthusiastic and polite, Wang Juan thought about her original misunderstanding and felt even more unhappy.
"No, it's not a bother. Thank you. Thank you for giving us the vegetable seeds."
"Vice-chairman Sun has already thanked me, sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite."
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving first."
"Tuo."
After sending Wang Juan out, Linglong murmured that Wang Juan didn't have a sharp tongue, and she had been trying hard to prepare herself mentally.
Without waiting for her husband to come home from get off work, Wang Juan started to cultivate the vegetable garden and planted all the vegetable seeds by herself.
With Linglong cooking at home, Zheng Tiansen always comes to eat at noon.
By the way, I also brought you a piece of news.
"You mean, we can install a telephone at home?"
"Yes, it can be installed. It will only take a few days for them to come to our house to install it."
"That's too much. It will be much more convenient if we contact our parents." Linglong sighed.
"Yes, it will be convenient to contact anyone in the future."
"We bought a refrigerator. Now, sister Aihong and sister Wang Juan here both seem to be thinking about buying a refrigerator."
"It turns out that they were all driven by our family." Zheng Tiansen said with a smile.
"As for convenience, you'll see. From now on, people's living conditions will only get better and better, and they'll have more and more electrical appliances in their homes."
"I believe it." Zheng Tiansen looked at her with a deep gaze, which seemed to have a different meaning.
At that moment, Linglong wondered if her husband had seen through the secret in her heart.
Perhaps because she felt a little guilty, Linglong tossed and turned for a while before falling asleep that night.
For the next two days, Linglong was a little nervous, fearing that her husband would ask her questions.
Her attention was diverted only when someone came to the house and installed a telephone.
After the phone was installed, Linglong made her first call to the compound.
Aunt Wei answered the phone.
"Aunt Wei, I'm Linglong. Is my mother home?"
"I'm here, I'm here, I'll call you."
Soon, Zeng Yu picked up the phone. "Hello, Linglong."
"Mom, we have a telephone installed at home. The army installed it for us. It will be convenient for us to contact each other in the future."
"Really? That's too much. Tell me your number and I'll write it down."
"Um."
There was always a phone number on it next to the phone, and Zeng Yu wrote it down immediately.
After they memorized the number, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started talking about other things.
In fact, Linglong came to pack up a few days ago and talked a lot with my mother-in-law.
But Zeng Yu still asked a lot of questions.
Knowing that Linglong had tidied up the vegetable patch in the yard and planted everything that needed to be planted, Zeng Yu teased her.
"When your vegetables have grown well, please bring some home so we can taste your own vegetables."
"Damn it, Mom."
Linglong mentioned Congcong's kindergarten experience again.
When Zeng Yu heard that Congcong was attending a kindergarten in the suburbs, she felt a little regretful.
"Linglong, we can actually let Congcong go to the kindergarten next to our compound. The conditions here are better."
"Mom, it's okay. Kindergarten is better for playing. If Congcong goes to school, you and Dad will have to worry about him again."
"Oh, forget about your dad, I don't have much."
"Don't worry, Mom. I will take Congcong there often."
Although it was a pity that his daughter-in-law and grandson moved out again, at least they were closer now and he could see them occasionally. It was better than before his son was transferred to the Beijing Military Region. Zeng Yu felt a little relieved.
After calling home, Linglong wrote a few letters, one to Aunt Tong, one to Hao Chunlei and one to Li Jie.
The letter contained daily greetings and also the news that the family had settled down in the new place. Of course, at the end of the letter, she attached her new phone number.
After she moved in, all the big and small items in the house were gradually purchased.
Zheng Tiansen also did not forget to find someone to come to his house to build a new bathroom.
The bathroom doesn't need to be too big, as long as it is convenient for the whole family to take a bath.
There is a public bathhouse in the army, and other soldiers and their families usually go to the big bathhouse to take a bath.
Zhao Aihong was surprised to see Linglong's family start building a bathroom.
"Linglong, if you want to take a bath, just go to our bathhouse. It's so convenient there."
"Sister-in-law, I just feel it's inconvenient to come here. If I have one at home, I can wash it occasionally."
It's okay in winter, but in the summer it's hot and people sweat easily. She can't stand not taking a bath frequently.
If she really had to go to the bathhouse every day, regardless of whether it made money or not, she was afraid that others would talk about her.
How can others know whether you take a bath at home or not?
Apart from being particular about bathing, Linglong tries her best to cook every meal for her family within the conditions.
Zheng Tiansen was promoted to deputy division commander, and his monthly allowances, food coupons and other subsidies also increased.
There are three people in their family. Congcong is still young and has a small appetite, so their daily diet can be a little lighter.
Linglong likes to add various seasonings and spices, which make the dishes even more fragrant.
The food they cook makes the most profound impression on Zhao Aihong and Wang Juan's families next door.
Zhao Aihong had tasted Linglong's cooking skills once and knew that Linglong had worked in a cafeteria before, so she was not that surprised. However, Wang Juan's family was very shocked.
After dinner in the evening, Vice President Sun was picking his teeth while sighing.
"Juan'er, what do you think Deputy Commander Zheng cooks every day? Why does it smell so good? Most of the time it doesn't smell like meat, but it smells so good."
Wang Juan rolled her eyes at her husband. "What? Are you dissatisfied with my cooking? Then don't eat it anymore."
"Juan'er, that's not what I meant."
Although she said something unpleasant, the next day Wang Juan saw Linglong busy in the vegetable garden in the yard and quickly spoke to her.
"Linglong, I have a question for you."
"Sister-in-law, you say."
"Um, do you have any secrets to your cooking? I smell the fragrance wafting from your yard every day, and even my husband, Sun, is starting to protest."
"Sister-in-law, I don't know how to tell you the secret, how about you follow me while I cook?"
"僢." Linglong was straightforward, so Wang Juan also did the same.
Unexpectedly, just as they finished speaking, someone started shouting from the side.
"Take me with you, I want to learn too." Zhao Aihong didn't know when she came into the yard.
"Wang Juan, you may not know this, but Linglong used to cook in the cafeteria. She's a professional."
Wang Juan finally understood and said, "No wonder your cooking smells so good."
"My two sisters-in-law, please don't flatter me. I am only a little bit proficient in this. As long as you don't mind, I will teach you everything I know."
"Oh, that's really a bit pretentious. No wonder you're a college student and a literary scholar."
"College student?" Wang Juan asked in confusion.
"Haha, Wang Juan, you don't know again, Linglong is one of the first batch of college students to pass the college entrance examination after its resumption. She is currently studying at Renmin University in Beijing, and she's even a student at a prestigious university."
This time, Wang Juan really looked at Linglong with new eyes.
