On his way to find Political Commissar Zhou, Chen Jianguo was seen by Zhao Erdan and Zhang Xiwa.
Zhang Xiwa had sharp eyes. When she saw Chen Jianguo holding something green in his hand, the scene of Chen Jianguo coming back with tree leaves at noon flashed through her mind. She pulled Zhao Erdan and hid aside.
Zhao Erdan saw Zhang Xiwa was suspicious and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Xiwa smiled mysteriously: "Did you see what our boss is holding?"
"What?"
"Do you want to eat green tofu?"
Zhao Erdan thought about the last time he went to his old house for dinner. The rice cooked by his sister-in-law was so delicious that he dreamed about eating it every night.
"I do. Why not?"
"Then let's go and exchange with sister-in-law."
The two of them took a look at the steamed buns and vegetables in the lunch boxes, then suddenly had an idea and immediately trotted towards the staff compound.
Chen Jianguo knocked on Political Commissar Zhou's door. He had just returned from the cafeteria after getting his meal. His wife was an accountant and usually lived in the city. She would only come home when she had time.
However, whether his wife is at home or not, he has to go to the canteen to get his meals.
When Political Commissar Zhou saw the green tofu, his eyes widened.
"Political Commissar, this is what my wife asked me to give you."
Political Commissar Zhou laughed particularly happily: "Oh, your wife really did it?
Hey, hey, I'm finally going to have a good meal today, come in quickly."
Chen Jianguo followed Political Commissar Zhou in. Political Commissar Zhou took a ceramic basin, changed the green tofu into another basin, and left some sauce, intending to wash the dishes for Chen Jianguo, but Chen Jianguo snatched it away.
"Political Commissar, I won't wash this basin. I'll need to wash it when I get back anyway. Take your time eating. I'll leave first."
"You little brat, why are you walking so fast?
Come back to me."
Chen Jianguo paused, and Political Commissar Zhou complained again: "Why are you in such a hurry? Just wait if I tell you to."
Political Commissar Zhou went into the kitchen and came out with a watermelon in his hand.
"Give this watermelon to your wife. It was given to me as a gift, but I have never been willing to eat it."
"Commissar, this is unacceptable."
"Just shut up, you're already a grown up and you're still so tense. You should relax when it's time.
Take the watermelon and get out of here."
Chen Jianguo was a little embarrassed, and when he hesitated, Political Commissar Zhou pushed him out of the door and closed it ruthlessly and quickly.
Never mind. He asked me to take it, so let him take it.
Zhao Erdan and Zhang Xiwa knocked on the door with trepidation. Xu Zhaodi smiled foolishly at the two of them.
Zhao Erdan smiled like a fool.
"sister……"
"sister in law……"
Xu Zhaodi saw them holding lunch boxes with steamed buns and vegetables in them and asked in confusion: "You..."
Zhang Xiwa nudged Zhao Erdan with his elbow.
You say it, just say we are here to exchange dishes.
Zhao Erdan bullied Zhang Xiwa again.
To be honest, I feel like we are a bit shameless.
Which is more important, the face or the belly?
Zhao Erdan smiled foolishly and said, "You can say it anyway, I can’t say it."
Zhang Xiwa took a deep breath and said, "Sister-in-law, we want to eat the food you cook, so we came here to exchange with you."
Zhao Erdan said: "Yes, sister, the food you cook tastes like home."
Xu Zhaodi was amused by the two men. She turned aside and said, "Come in and wait for your Captain Chen to come back and eat together."
When Zhang Xiwa heard this, his back stiffened.
"Sister-in-law, let's change and leave."
Zhao Erdan estimated that the time was about right. Captain Chen had long legs, so he might be back soon.
Xu Zhaodi said: "No need to change, just take whatever you want to eat.
Zhang Xiwa was already extremely excited.
The two men went into the kitchen, found plates and poured the rice out of the lunch boxes. One lunch box contained a box of green tofu, and the other contained vegetables and pancakes.
The two of them ordered the food and ran away as fast as they could.
After Zhao Erdan went out, half of his head poked in from the door frame.
"Sister, can I come and change with you next time?"
Xu Zhaodi looked at how cute they were and smiled gently.
"OK."
"Thank you, sis."
Just a few minutes after the two men left, Chen Jianguo came back carrying a watermelon.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the food had been served on the table.
He was holding the watermelon and saw Xu Zhaodi looking at him. He said, "Political Commissar Zhou gave it to me. He said someone else gave it to me. He couldn't finish it by himself, so he asked me to give it to you."
Xu Zhaodi knew that watermelons were very expensive. If she lived in the countryside, she could still grow some in her own private plots, but in the city, they were not very fresh if she wanted to buy them.
"You don't even know to leave some for others."
Chen Jianguo had never thought of this. He really didn't want to take it, but he couldn't resist the order from Political Commissar Zhou.
"Then I'll give it back to him."
"Forget it. When I have time to make buns, you can send some to him."
"My dear wife, I'll soak it in a bucket for you to eat later."
Chen Jianguo passed by the table and saw another plate on it, which contained vegetables and meat.
"Where does this dish come from?"
"Zhao Erdan and Zhang Xiwa brought it over. They exchanged dishes with me."
Chen Jianguo...
These two little bastards, are they addicted to eating the food cooked by their own wives?
Chen Jianguo filled the bucket with water, put the watermelon in, and then came out to eat.
"Next time these brats come, ignore them."
"They are all 17-year-old boys. It's not easy for them."
Chen Jianguo served Xu Zhaodi some porridge, and then put a pancake on the plate in front of her.
"I'm only a few years older than them, and it's not easy for me either."
Xu Zhaodi...
She used to think that this man was an iceberg, and that his heart would never be warmed up even if she kept him there for eight or ten years. But now she felt that although he looked aloof and difficult to get along with, he was actually very kind.
Moreover, this person responds to soft tactics and does not respond to harsh tactics.
Xu Zhaodi took the initiative to pick up a scallion pancake from his plate, and then picked up a piece of meat dish with chopsticks.
"I know you're working hard, eat more."
Chen Jianguo immediately smiled happily.
As he ate his meal, he lowered his head and muttered, "Wife, your cooking skills are too bad. I have become picky now."
In fact, the food in the team cafeteria was not bad, but Chen Jianguo just felt that Xu Zhaodi's stir-fried shredded potatoes or hot and sour cabbage were also delicious.
It’s the same dish, but the taste is different.
Chen Jianguo took two bites to finish a pancake. The pancake looked as big as a fist, and he could eat ten of them in one breath.
Zhang Xiwa and Zhao Ergou returned to the dormitory, moved a stool and sat down to eat when their other comrade-in-arms and roommate came back from the cafeteria and smelled the fragrance as soon as he entered the dormitory.
When people took a look, the dishes in the two lunch boxes looked like ordinary home-cooked meals, but they couldn't help but want to take a bite when they smelled them.
The man immediately pushed the two men down on the bed and interrogated them.
"Tell me, where did these cakes and vegetables come from? Why do they smell so good?"
Zhao Erdan was pressed down by so many people that he couldn't do anything. Zhang Xiwa was afraid that they would eat the food in his lunch box, so he shouted, "Exchange food with the sister-in-law of the eldest family. If you have anything to eat, go find the sister-in-law. She has baked a lot of pancakes. You can go and exchange them."
Zhao Erdan, who was eager to survive, also said, "Yes, yes, you guys go quickly, Captain Chen is not at home."
