As the day of the New Year approaches, the smell of military service begins to grow stronger.
Whether it was the road outside, the cafeteria, or even the buildings in the military camp, there had been some changes.
Some are hanging red lanterns, some are festive paper-cuts, and some are big red slogans.
There have also been big changes in Linglong's cafeteria.
The quartermaster gathered people and was about to kill the pigs raised by the troops.
We have to eat better this time. The pigs we have raised for a while are fat, so we can kill them to satisfy everyone's cravings and provide some oil and water.
There are thousands of people in a group. If they are all allowed to eat meat, it will not be a small amount. Only every once in a while can everyone be slightly satisfied.
Just now, the quartermaster and his men killed three big fat pigs weighing several kilograms at once, and they were busy all day.
Not only the pork that has been cut, but also the pig offal and the pig blood are all used without any waste.
Many people still remember the braised pork that Linglong made. Now that we have a lot of pig offal, the canteen can make braised pork with rich ingredients again.
If there is not enough offal, then use pork. Even the quartermaster becomes arrogant.
Look, the call for lunch hasn't sounded yet, but the aroma from the cafeteria has wafted far away, making the soldiers who smell it drool. They are eager to eat and can't wait to start.
Not to mention the soldiers, even Sister Niu and the others in the kitchen were almost dizzy from the fragrance.
Before the meal started, they each took a bowl full of braised pork and ate it with steamed buns.
Even Sister Yuan, who is the most picky about Linglong, has to admit that Linglong's craftsmanship is getting better and better.
After they finished eating, they didn't have time to clean up before the dinner bell rang, and soon, one person after another rushed into the cafeteria.
Knowing that the canteen had prepared the dishes today, many family members came with lunch boxes to buy them.
Fortunately, the quartermaster had anticipated this and asked Linglong to make more food to reserve for the family members.
Zheng Tiansen and Xiao Jiang arrived a little late, but they still had the delicious braised pork.
Perhaps as people become more confident their temperament also changes. Looking at Linglong standing behind the window and serving food to everyone with a smile on her face, Zheng Tiansen felt that she had become more beautiful.
Thinking of the letter he wrote to Sister Mikoto, the corners of his mouth curved even more.
Seeing that there were no people queuing at Linglong's window, Sister Niu came over and chased her out.
"Linglong, hurry up and get out! Didn't you see that Captain Zheng couldn't bear to leave after finishing his meal? I'm here for you."
Linglong came out of the kitchen embarrassedly.
Seeing her approaching, Zheng Tiansen's smile became even wider.
"Before that, I have to go into the city again. Do you have anything for me to bring back?" He had business to go into the city, but it didn't prevent him from bringing some things with him.
"No need, Brother Zheng, I have everything I need."
She said she didn't need one, but Zheng Tiansen remembered that he wanted to get her another hat, and he had forgotten to ask anyone for help.
Or I can go to the city to look for it this time. If I can’t find it, I can contact my mother or friends in Haishi for help.
From a distance, Sister Yuan was watching them talking, feeling extremely depressed.
It's obvious that the dead girl's identity as a country child bride has been exposed, and there are still a few people in the army who don't know about it. Why is Captain Zheng still associating with her?
Could it be that he didn't mind at all? What kind of magic potion did this damn girl drink?
Liujia Village.
Liu Baogen's letter finally arrived.
Mother Liu was still very happy when her son wrote to her.
But she didn't expect that her son had already registered his marriage with Xu Yingying.
This wasn't the most important thing. That damned girl Hongdou was actually in the army! Right in front of her son.
She was the key person who decided on Linglong's status as a child bride.
If not, you can just adopt Linglong as your adopted daughter, there is no need to go through all this trouble.
She did this because she had her own plans.
On the one hand, she was very bothered by the mention of Linglong's past, but on the other hand, because of some ulterior motives, she wanted to tie Linglong to death in her own home.
She and her son could despise this damn girl, but she couldn't tolerate the fact that this damn girl had rebelled against her family and set up her own family, and had caused great harm to their precious child.
Before, she wasn't sure where people were.
Now that she had received the confirmation, she wanted to go to the army in person without Liu Baogen urging her.
But Liu's father was against it.
"It's almost the end of the year, why are you going to the army?" Liu's father was very puzzled.
"Even if you want to persuade Hongdou, can you wait until the next day?"
"I tried to persuade her? I'm not trying to persuade her. Don't you know what she did to our family and Baogen? I'm going to find her and ask her if she has a black heart."
"She caused my Baogen to lose his bright future and brought disgrace upon our family in the village. And now she's fine, having transformed herself into a city dweller and even got a job. She's dreaming. If she dares to mess with our Baogen, I'll mess with her too."
How could she be willing to accept that so many people, whom she controlled, were now out of her hands?
Whatever the purpose, she had to go to the army.
Father Liu couldn't persuade his angry wife, so he could only follow her to find the village party secretary to write a letter of introduction, and then rushed to the city to buy train tickets.
However, there were too many people on the train and they couldn't even buy a standing ticket, so they had to return empty-handed.
Even so, Liu's mother still sent a letter to the army, informing Liu Baogen that she would rush to the army as soon as she could buy a train ticket and would definitely ask Linglong for an explanation.
She thinks she is Linglong's savior and adoptive mother, and when she speaks to Linglong, she is superior to her.
After Liu Baogen sent the letter, he was looking forward to someone coming home. After coming back from the city that day, he had been feeling unhappy.
Although he managed to appease Xu Yingying temporarily, there was still some estrangement between the two because of the revelations that day.
He was already annoyed with Xu Yingying for forcing him to get married, and Xu Yingying was bothered by his change of heart, and he didn't expect to have another conflict.
Marriage is a joyous occasion, but neither of them showed any joy and did anything to celebrate.
That would have been fine, but when Xu Yingying's family found out that she was marrying him, they actually came to ask him to pay the betrothal gift.
If the amount was not large, he would have paid, but the Xu family asked for a huge sum of money, five hundred yuan, four large pieces and seventy-two legs.
It was only at this moment that he realized that Xu Yingying was not the city girl with a good job and a good family as she pretended to be, but that she had a vampire family.
But they had already obtained the marriage certificate and Xu Yingying was still pregnant, so it was too late for him to regret.
Since he couldn't pay it, he could only deny it. After all, she was already married, so what could the Xu family do to him?
The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that Xu Yingying stood on his side in this regard. She did not interfere with her family, but asked him to take out some money to buy her things as compensation for getting married directly.
To do this, he not only emptied his own pockets, but also borrowed some foreign debts.
The smell that should have been festive, when it came to him, was only filled with endless worries and sorrows.
How he longed for his family to come and help him change the situation which was so bad.
