The young comrade said, "Sister-in-law, I've already sent you this, so don't be polite to me."
As he said this, he walked into the building carrying his things.
Xu Zhaodi followed behind and felt bad seeing how eagerly others were to help her.
"By the way, what's your name?"
The young comrade said, "I am Zhao Erdan."
Zhao Erdan, this name is quite down-to-earth.
Zhao Erdan seemed to know where she lived. He put his things at the door and said enthusiastically, "Sister-in-law, I'll leave first."
"Thank you so much. When I have the wild vegetables ready, I will ask your Captain Chen to bring you some to try."
Zhao Erdan waved his hand quickly: "No, no, this is what I should do, sister-in-law, I'm leaving first."
When Zhao Erdan heard the news of Chen Jianguo, he got scared and ran away without even entering the door.
Xu Zhaodi opened the door and dragged the branch onto the balcony. The few people who had been chatting downstairs just now went home as if to avoid suspicion.
Xu Zhaodi smiled. It seemed that the meeting that day was very useful.
Xu Zhaodi boiled water in a pot, blanched the bracken and then tore it into two halves. She hung several ropes back and forth on the balcony and hung the torn bracken one by one on them to make it easier to dry.
The blanched prickly ash should be put into cold water to reduce the bitterness.
It was still early, so she mixed the cornmeal and made a lot of pancakes in the pan.
After that, I mixed two cold dishes and made wild vegetable dumpling soup in the pot.
She squatted on the balcony to study how big the simple chicken coop should be.
The branches in her hands were of different lengths, so she put those of the same length together and tied them up one by one.
When Chen Jianguo came back, he opened the door and saw two dishes and a soup on the table, but Xu Zhaodi was not in the room.
There was a rustling sound coming from the balcony. He came over and saw Xu Zhaodi squatting on the balcony fiddling with tree branches.
"You went up the mountain alone again?"
Xu Zhaodi was so busy that she didn't notice Chen Jianguo coming back.
She was so frightened that her hands trembled and the branch in her hand fell to the ground.
"Why didn't you make any noise when you came back? You scared me to death."
She patted her chest, lowered her head and continued to work.
He only took one look and understood what Xu Zhaodi was going to do.
"Are you planning to keep this chicken on the balcony?"
"Well, let's keep this chicken for now. What if it lays eggs?"
Xu Zhaodi always felt that she didn't do much work. Before she even tied up the bottom of a chicken coop, Chen Jianguo came back.
Chen Jianguo couldn't help but smile, and didn't have the heart to tell her that in the countryside, black chickens are treated as treasures, and the black chickens that can be sold are definitely not those that lay eggs.
Forget it, if she wants to raise it, then let her raise it.
It is not allowed to raise chickens in the city, but the compound is not in the city, so it should be possible to raise chickens.
Chen Jianguo said: "Don't do it, I'll do it after dinner."
Xu Zhaodi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that he would take the initiative to help her make a chicken coop.
"Don't you blame me?"
"Why blame you? I think your idea is very good."
Xu Zhaodi felt warm in her heart, and Chen Jianguo said, "Let's go and eat first."
After washing their hands, they sat at the dining table. He was used to eating steamed buns made of cornmeal, but now he was eating the pancakes made by Xu Zhaodi. He didn't know what she put in them, but they tasted soft and sweet, and he couldn't help but want to eat one more.
The wild vegetables are delicious with cornmeal cakes.
Xu Zhaodi thought of Zhao Erdan and said, "When you go in the afternoon, bring some wild vegetables to a soldier in your camp. When I come back from the mountain in the morning, he will help me carry back these branches and wild vegetables."
When Chen Jianguo heard this, he felt depressed.
She used to be mean to everyone, why is she so nice to everyone now?
Xu Zhaodi was afraid that he would misunderstand her, so she explained, "I don't like to owe others anything. If you repay me with a favor, I won't hold a grudge against you."
It seems that he was overthinking it just now.
"Okay, I'll bring it with me when I go there this afternoon."
He wanted to see if Zhao Erdan could eat it.
After the meal, Xu Zhaodi took the initiative to wash the dishes while Chen Jianguo made a chicken coop on the balcony.
Before going to work in the afternoon, the chicken coop was ready. Chen Jianguo found some bricks from somewhere, put the chicken coop on the bricks, and locked the chickens in the coop.
He looked at himself and smiled with satisfaction, his home finally felt a bit like home.
When Xu Zhaodi came in, she saw that the chicken coop was square and even the distances between the branches were of the same width. It looked as beautiful as a work of handicraft.
Now, the problem is chicken manure. There is only one chicken anyway, and she plans to buy a few flower pots to grow vegetables on the balcony. The chicken manure can be used as a good fertilizer in the future.
Chen Jianguo pointed at the chicken coop and asked, as if inviting someone to come. "How is it?"
Xu Zhaodi was delighted and nodded, "You are amazing. You did a great job."
Xu Zhaodi couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, and Chen Jianguo was also happy seeing this.
Just a chicken coop can make her so happy. If I had known she was so easy to coax, I should have put aside my pride and coaxed her well. Maybe we would have a child now.
When Chen Jianguo realized the problem of the child, he thought of the erotic dream he had last night. The smile on his face froze. He said, "I'm going to get busy. You should have a good rest this afternoon."
"I know. Go ahead and go now."
Xu Zhaodi stood on the balcony and watched Chen Jianguo go downstairs. His tall body passed through a small door at the side and went to the troops in front.
She had originally planned to make dumplings in the afternoon and send them to Feng Xiujuan and the others, but there was no meat at home, so she decided to wait until tomorrow to take a bus to the city and buy some pork.
If you are going to give it as a gift, you can't let people laugh at you.
When Chen Jianguo came to the training ground, Jiang Dahai saw that he was in high spirits and smiling.
Jiang Dahai teased, "Did something good happen in your family? Tell me about it and make me happy."
"No, go and do your thing?"
There was no need to guess, Jiang Dahai knew that the couple must have reconciled.
Jiang Dahai saw Chen Jianguo holding two lunch boxes and asked in confusion, "What's in the lunch boxes?"
"Wild vegetables."
Chen Jianguo left two words and walked towards Zhao Erdan.
"Zhao Erdan, step out."
"yes."
Zhao Erdan took a step forward, and Chen Jianguo slapped the two lunch boxes in his palms and said, "Your sister-in-law asked me to bring them to you. Thank you for helping her."
Zhao Erdan was delighted that his sister-in-law actually asked Captain Chen to send him wild vegetables.
He raised his hand to take the lunch box with a silly smile, and Chen Jianguo lifted the lunch box higher and said, "Remember to wash the lunch box and return it to me after you finish eating."
Zhao Erdan thought Chen Jianguo was going to punish him physically, but he didn't expect that he was just going to wash the lunch boxes.
"Yes, Captain."
The people standing behind looked at each other, wanting to know what treasure was in the lunch box.
Could it be beef or pig's trotter?
A bunch of soldiers are almost drooling at the thought of it.
During the training time, several people's eyes would occasionally fall on the lunch boxes beside them.
During the break, someone ran over, picked up the lunch box, opened it, and saw that it contained wild vegetables and tortillas, and instantly lost interest.
Someone took it and took a bite, and it immediately found it delicious.
This bunch of soldiers were making a lot of noise and didn't mind getting their hands dirty with mud after training. They took pieces from each other and finished the wild vegetables and biscuits in the lunch boxes in no time.
