Chapter 38 Cherish



Before going to bed, Linglong read some books and wrote a few words on the notebook: "Study plan."

She wanted to make a plan for herself instead of studying aimlessly.

If that's the case, the book I have on hand definitely won't work. It seems I can only ask Brother Zheng for help.

After many contacts with Zheng Tiansen, she has become familiar with him and knows that he is a warm-hearted person.

Perhaps because she has a plan, she is more hopeful about her future life.

After receiving her salary, Linglong went to the army's grocery store.

Because there are quite a few troops and their families stationed here, there is a grocery store in the army, which is convenient for everyone to buy vegetables and basic daily necessities.

Not only Zheng Tiansen and his regiment, but other people in the division headquarters were also shopping at the grocery store.

When it was almost time to get off work, Linglong made an appointment with Sister Niu to go together.

After getting her salary and tickets, Sister Niu also wants to buy some delicious food to improve the living conditions at home.

The two of them went together without calling Sister Yuan, and Sister Yuan became unhappy again.

Before, the only female comrades helping in the kitchen were her and Sister Niu, and they always talked and did things together.

Now that Linglong is here, Sister Niu suddenly becomes close to Linglong and also distances herself from her.

In fact, if she hadn’t had a choice before, Sister Niu wouldn’t have liked Sister Yuan’s personality very much.

When Linglong arrived, she found that Linglong had a good personality and they could get along well, so Sister Niu naturally wanted to get close to Linglong.

As soon as she got off work, Linglong put on her military coat and went out chatting and laughing with Sister Niu.

"Humph, a flatterer and a vixen."

The flatterer was referring to Sister Niu. Sister Yuan believed that Sister Niu had a good relationship with Linglong because she was attracted by Linglong's relationship with the quartermaster, and that she looked familiar with the regiment commander, Zheng Tiansen.

In fact, Sister Niu’s husband holds a high position, so there is no need for him to curry favor with Linglong for these things.

"The meat and vegetables might have been picked out this morning. Let's go and see today and buy whatever is available," said Sister Niu.

Linglong thought about it and nodded.

But when I got to the grocery store, I was surprised.

"Oh, where did you get this fish?" Sister Niu asked in surprise.

You have to know that they are located inland, and seafood and fish are rarely seen on weekdays. It is only during festivals and holidays that people are willing to buy them, and grocery stores will try to get some.

The salesperson at the grocery store laughed. "We're lucky. They just arrived, and we were hoping everyone would come and buy them."

It's cold now, so there's no need to worry about setting it off.

"Give me one." Sister Niu started picking without saying anything.

From what Sister Niu said, I knew it was very rare, and Linglong followed closely behind.

There are many ways to cook fish, but it’s a pity that there are not many kinds of seasonings at home.

After picking out a fish weighing more than three pounds, Linglong went to buy other things.

Seeing some jars, she became curious.

"What's in here?"

Because she is pretty and has a kind look, the salespersons are more enthusiastic towards her.

"I'm trying to sell some kimchi and sauerkraut. If you want, I'll give it to you at a lower price." The main reason was that not many people were buying them, and they were worried.

Linglong opened the jar and smelled it. Oh, the smell is so authentic and rich.

Just now she was worried that she didn't have the right seasoning to cook the fish, but now she has it.

"Linglong, what do you want to do with this?" Sister Niu came over curiously.

"Cooking fish, this fish is delicious."

"Can this be used to make fish?" Sister Niu became puzzled.

"OK."

Although she knew Linglong was a good cook, the fish was not cheap. After hesitating for a while, Sister Niu still didn't dare to follow suit and buy it.

"Linglong, if you make it, tell me how to cook it."

"Okay." She couldn't help drooling.

After buying sauerkraut, Linglong bought a piece of meat, used up her only meat ticket quota, and also bought some other vegetables.

When she asked what seasonings were available, the salesperson introduced them to her and she picked out some to buy.

When Linglong went out with a full harvest, not only did she get almost all of her corresponding tickets, but she also got most of her salary.

By the way, she still owes Xiao Jiang some money, and she hasn’t paid it back yet.

When Aunt Tong returned with a bunch of things, she was amazed.

"Why did you buy so much?"

"Isn't it time to get my salary, Auntie? I can take a day off and cook for you guys."

She had mentioned before that she wanted to treat everyone after receiving her salary, and Aunt Tong remembered it and nodded with a smile.

Linglong hung up the fish and meat first.

The Tong family doesn't have high-end appliances like refrigerators, so they can only store things when the temperature is low.

Linglong and the others don't work all month long. Each person can have two days off a month. If they have more time to rest, they can discuss rotations depending on the situation, so that there won't be a shortage of people when everyone is resting together.

In order to prepare for the dinner party, Linglong specially applied for a day off.

When Tong Dazhu returned home, Linglong asked him to inform Zheng Tiansen and ask him to bring the person over.

Originally, Linglong wanted to tell Zheng Tiansen in person today, but Zheng Tiansen didn’t go to the cafeteria for lunch in the afternoon, and no one knew where he was busy.

When Tong Dazhu was told by his mother that that bastard Liu Baogen had come to the house, he stood up angrily.

"You Liu Baogen, you came to cheat my mother while I was away. I will never let you go."

"Come on, you idiot. He didn't do anything. What can you do to him?" Aunt Tong glared at her son.

"Brother, I've reminded you. Don't be angry. I'll be more careful next time." Linglong also spoke quickly.

"He still has evil intentions." Tong Dazhu frowned.

"I don't care whether he lives or dies. Anyway, I don't want to have anything to do with him. Don't worry about it, big brother."

When Linglong went to wash up, Aunt Tong suddenly said to her son, "Dazhu, I want to ask you, tell me the truth, are you interested in Linglong?"

Tong Dazhu was startled. "Mom, isn't Linglong my sister?" Actually, he had some thoughts at first, but he was intimidated by the team leader, and then, by some strange coincidence, he had to pretend to be Linglong's relative. He really treated Linglong as his sister and protected her.

"Alas, such a great opportunity, forget it, I'll just assume you're not blessed. Linglong is so pretty and capable, even without Liu Baogen, there will definitely be someone interested in her in the future. Putting aside the fact that Linglong saved my life, just because Linglong treats us like a real family now, we have to make careful plans for her in the future."

Tong Dazhu became serious when he heard this. "Mom, of course, we are Linglong's family."

Outside the house, after hearing the second half, Linglong raised her head and forced back her tears.

Auntie and Brother Tong treat her as a relative, and she will cherish this hard-earned kinship.

Liu Baogen didn't make much progress with Aunt Tong, and he was still determined to investigate.

He was trying to find out who had investigated his case in the first place.

He has already been punished, and the matter is settled. It’s not too much to know some inside story.

But he hasn't made any progress yet. In Liujia Village, the Liu family has learned about Linglong's household registration transfer.
