While Ling Xiao was tidying up his things, Meng Qidi went to cook and wash the vegetables.
There was no way. The man was better at organizing things than her. Even when it came to folding clothes, she couldn't compare to him.
Ling Xiao put the clothes neatly into the box, and placed two large bags of kudzu powder in another wooden box beside the bed, and also put all the dry goods that Xiaoqi brought back into the box.
It's this cured fish and cured meat...
The cured fish is fine, it is soaked in wine, just buy a jar and put it in, but the cured meat needs to be hung up to dry, maybe nail a row of nails on the wall tomorrow if I have time...
After everything was ready, Meng Qidi had the rice steaming on the stove and the vegetables washed. In addition to the cured fish and meat, she also pickled some dried vegetables.
He could vaguely smell the smell of mushrooms stewed with bacon. He glanced at the vegetables in her hand and was surprised. "Where are the vegetables?"
He remembered that when they came back, they seemed to have forgotten to buy groceries.
"The canteen gave them to me. I sent two pieces of cured meat and cured fish to serve as snacks to my comrades. Look, here are these vegetable leaves and vegetables. The squad leader of the kitchen team insisted that I bring some back. Oh, and I asked Shen Xing and the others to come over to eat later."
Ling Xiao nodded. He trusted his wife to do things. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to help. "Let me cook?"
"Of course." Meng Qidi narrowed her eyes and patted her sore lower back. "By the way, I want the land behind the house. Can you give it to me? Are there any procedures required?"
"The land behind the house?" It took Ling Xiao a long time to realize which place she was talking about. "You can't plant there, right? It's all bricks."
"Don't worry about this, how about you give it to me?"
"Okay, I'll talk to them tomorrow." Ling Xiao was helpless. Since she had already asked, could he still refuse?
Meng Qidi handed over the side dishes in her hand, "I stewed mushrooms and bacon, and you can fry the rest. This is the dried bamboo shoots, which have been soaked..."
Ling Xiao nodded and basically knew how to cook at a glance.
Helping to wash the dishes nearby, Meng Qidi asked, "By the way, can you give me the house that the teacher wants? I plan to turn the land downstairs into an experimental field, can you approve it too?"
"What experimental field?" Ling Xiao put the sliced bacon into the pot to boil the oil.
"If it's successful, I can provide a greenhouse like the one at home to your cafeteria for free. How about that? Isn't that a good deal?"
Ling Xiao was helpless. "Since you've asked, I will definitely find a way to satisfy you. The instructor told me to figure it out on my own. If you two want to do this kind of test field, and Mr. Zhao moves in, then there will be no problem."
Meng Qidi breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes half curved with joy, "Then I'll lock it again."
After all, relatives who follow the army can also come in to the family building. You can’t know a person’s heart through his appearance, so it’s safer to lock the door.
"It's all right. Once it's approved, you can do whatever you want."
"Thank you, Brother Xiao." Meng Qidi felt more relaxed now. As expected, having connections made everything easier.
Ling Xiao snorted. If there is something wrong, call him Brother Xiao. If there is nothing wrong, call him Ling Xiao. This is so heartless...
The couple worked together and cooked quickly. When Shen Xing and his friends came over, they only had the last dish left.
After greeting and entering the room, Shen Xing was surprised to see Ling Jinyue sitting leisurely in the room, "Why are you here again?"
You won't ask him to deliver it again after dinner, right?
"My sister-in-law asked me to come. I have no choice. My sister-in-law can't do without me when she has delicious food." Ling Jinyue twisted her waist with some pride.
Shen Xing...
"It's time for dinner, please get ready." Meng Qidi's voice came from outside.
"Here I am." Ling Jinyue quickly stood up and went out to serve the dishes.
The room became noisy and there was a knock on the door. Meng Qidi went to open the door and saw the instructor and his wife, instructor Du Yanzheng and Guo Fengjiao.
"Sister-in-law, is this the instructor? Come in quickly." Meng Qidi warmly invited her in.
"I told you not to be polite, but you insisted on calling us over." Guo Fengjiao walked into the room with a smile.
Instructor Du Yanzheng was tall and thin with slightly dark skin. He glanced at Meng Qidi and said with a smile, "Is this the wife that our company commander dropped his duty to go pick up? Comrade Meng? Nice to meet you."
"Why are you so serious? Don't scare Xiaoqi, just call her Xiaoqi." Guo Fengjiao patted her husband.
Meng Qidi smiled a little embarrassedly, "I didn't expect him to come over to pick me up. Instructor, please go in quickly."
"In that case, don't call me instructor, just call me Uncle Du. Hey, there are so many people in this room? Am I disturbing you?"
Du Yanzheng seemed to have just noticed the people in the room. He poked his head in to look inside and joked.
"Instructor... Instructor." The people brought by Shen Xing stood up subconsciously.
"I told you don't have to be so reserved. Lao Du is trying to scare you guys on purpose. Sit down, Lao Du, don't move!" Guo Fengjiao glared at her husband.
Ling Xiao glanced at the few people and said, "Please sit down."
He didn't even know when Xiao Qi had called the instructor over...
With the two sisters-in-law around, the few people who were originally reserved are no longer afraid. The leaders are all paper tigers...
At nine o'clock, everyone dispersed after eating and drinking their fill.
It was almost ten o'clock when the two of them cleaned the house.
"Would you like to take a shower first?" Ling Xiao put the bowl in the cupboard.
Afraid that she couldn't hold on, I let her take a bath and go to bed first.
Meng Qidi coughed lightly, "I want to go to the toilet..."
Well, she dares to go during the day, but is a little afraid of the dark at night...
This is a sequela from her previous life. She is afraid of the dark...
Although every room in this residential building has a bathroom, it is only for taking a shower. There is only one bathroom on each floor, which is the same as the male and female toilets in school.
She didn't feel anything during the day, but at night there was no light and she was afraid of the dark, so she didn't dare to go alone. Even holding a flashlight felt a little uncomfortable.
Ling Xiao closed the cabinet door, stood up and dried his hands, "Let's go, I'll keep you company."
He went out with a flashlight and took two steps. Then he paused and waited for Meng Qidi to catch up with him after closing the door. Then he reached out and gently held her slightly cold little hand.
"Your hands are cold, why don't you put on more clothes?"
"I have to take a shower later, and I don't want to add any more."
Meng Qidi wanted to pull her hand back, but Ling Xiao held her tightly, "Don't move, or you'll fall."
The man held her hand tightly, and Meng Qidi was caught tightly when she moved slightly.
A man's deep voice came from the front, "Be good, don't make trouble."
Meng Qidi...
After entering the restroom, Ling Xiao saw that no one was there, so he asked Meng Qidi to go to the first room. He was now standing by the door, watching without moving...
A few minutes later, Meng Qidi came out of the bathroom after washing her hands. As soon as she walked out, Ling Xiao grabbed her hand and even pulled her towards him out of habit.
Following Ling Xiao, being held tightly by him, Meng Qidi couldn't help but look at Ling Xiao from the side.
The tall Ling Xiao almost blocked out the darkness for her. Afraid that Meng Qidi couldn't keep up, he deliberately slowed down. His originally indifferent face was filled with a soft glow because of Meng Qidi...
Looking at the man's tall back, Meng Qidi's heart was at peace at this moment.
