Chen Jianguo pointed at the two people who were talking quietly and said, "What are you two doing? Stand at ease, everyone, run in five minutes."
Zhao Erdan has a worried look on his face. He still wants to run?
Why do you run when you are happy and when you are unhappy?
well……
Zhang Qingdong saw how Chen Jianguo trained the new recruits, and said to the new recruit in front of him: "See? From today on, our battalion will also learn from Captain Chen and his men."
The soldier in front of Zhang Qingdong had a crying look on his face. These guys on the training ground today were simply devils.
Xu Zhaodi came to the restaurant early in the morning. The weather had been getting hotter in the past two days, and there were not many people eating in the morning. It was not easy for them to cook, and they didn't dare to steam too many buns because they would go bad overnight.
He Damei said, "Zhao Di, the Artemisia annua has been growing very vigorously these past two days. Let's go pick some to make wild vegetable dumplings."
Xu Zhaodi asked, "Is it too late at this point?"
Wang Daqing said, "If we can make it in time, we'll have vegetable dumplings and pickled cabbage vermicelli soup for lunch."
Xu Zhaodi said, "Okay."
The three of them greeted Zhang Guilan and came to the river carrying their baskets. Coincidentally, they met Niu Xiaohong there. Niu Xiaohong saw the three of them from a distance, snorted coldly, and walked away carrying the basket.
I haven't seen her for almost a month, and she looks much more haggard.
Xu Zhaodi was too lazy to pay attention. People always have to pay the price for their bad deeds.
The three of them picked some Artemisia annua and took it away. Xu Zhaodi washed it three or four times, chopped it up, sprinkled it with corn flour, added salt and pepper powder, stirred it evenly, and rolled it into small balls. Then she coated them with a layer of corn flour and quickly put the wild vegetable balls on the stove to steam.
If you cook food in the canteen now, there will be no food left.
When the restaurant was idle in the afternoon, Xu Zhaodi went to the supply and marketing cooperative next door. She had become familiar with the staff there. They said that a new batch of fabrics would arrive in the store in the next two days.
As soon as Xu Zhaodi entered, the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative said with a smile, "Come quickly, Zhaodi. The white gauze curtain you asked about last time is here. I was planning to call you over to take a look later."
Xu Zhaodi smiled and said, "Then I am really lucky. I just caught up with it."
Their house still doesn't have curtains, and it's inconvenient to walk around in the living room at night. Xu Zhaodi has wanted to buy curtains for a long time.
The curtains were in a pastoral style, letting light in but not letting people in, just like the ones on the coffee table in Liu Chunhua's house.
Xu Zhaodi asked, "Is it expensive?"
"It's expensive. One piece is 2.6 meters long and 4 meters wide, and costs 8 yuan."
Eight dollars is indeed expensive, but it is worth it when it looks so good.
She and Chen Jianguo hang one in their room, and it would be just right to hang one in the living room. The extra pieces can be cut off and spread on the table in the living room. Just thinking about that picture makes her feel so fresh and warm.
Xu Zhaodi said, "Okay, then give me two pieces."
"You have good taste."
Xu Zhaodi smiled, paid the bill, borrowed a pair of scissors from the salesperson, and cut the gauze curtain in the middle.
When she got to the restaurant, she used needle and thread to hem the fur on the edges.
Zhang Guilan saw it and asked, "Are you buying curtains for your home?"
"Yes, Director."
"You have really deft hands."
He Damei looked at them with envy, and leaned over to ask, "Zhao Di, can you knit a sweater?"
This question really stumped Xu Zhaodi. She could do everything except knitting a sweater.
“I don’t know how to do that.”
Zhang Guilan sat aside and looked at the gauze curtain over and over again. To be honest, not many people like to use white gauze curtains as curtains. Young people nowadays really know how to live.
Zhang Guilan laughed and said, "I thought you were omnipotent, but it turns out there are things you can't do.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t knit a sweater. Just buy some wool and bring it to the restaurant. I’ll teach you then. I’m an expert at knitting sweaters.”
"Thank you, Director."
Xu Zhaodi was tired after a day's work. When she was leaving for the town, the sun had already set. When Xu Zhaodi arrived in the town, she didn't see Chen Jianguo coming.
She and Jiang Wan walked slowly towards the destination. Even though she had someone accompanying her, she was not willing to walk fast.
Xu Zhaodi picked some wild vegetables from a roadside field. Jiang Wan asked in confusion, "Sister Zhaodi, you have already dried a lot of wild vegetables, why are you picking so many?"
"Store more so you can have a different meal in the winter when there's no food."
You know, these days in winter you can’t buy anything else to eat except radish and cabbage.
Jiang Wan said: "Sister Zhaodi, you are so kind. You think of everything so carefully."
Xu Zhaodi smiled and said, "That's not thoughtful at all. I'm just afraid of going hungry."
Jiang Wan looked at Xu Zhaodi, every frown and smile of hers was so charming. Now she has lost weight and is more beautiful than before.
Jiang Wan said: "Sister Zhaodi, I want to follow you in the future. I can have a meal if I follow you."
On the way there, she picked a bunch of wild flowers on the roadside.
As the sun sets, the sweet laughter of Xu Zhaodi and Jiang Wan can be heard not far away.
When the two men came into the yard, there were many women who were enjoying the cool air after dinner. Feng Xiujuan was one of them. Among them, there was a strange face.
After greeting others, Xu Zhaodi went straight upstairs without even looking at Feng Xiujuan.
Next to Feng Xiujuan stood a pretty woman, whose eyes followed Xu Zhaodi as she entered the building.
The woman asked, "Sister-in-law, who is this? She looks really good-looking."
Feng Xiujuan said sourly: "How can she be pretty? This is Captain Chen's wife."
When the woman heard this, she screamed at the top of her voice, "She? Sister-in-law, didn't you say she was as fat as a pig before? How is she fat now?"
This woman's name is Jiang Cuihua, Jiang Dahai's younger sister. She had lived in the compound before Xu Zhaodi came.
The last time she came, Chen Jianguo was not married yet, and Jiang Cuihua fell in love with him at first sight.
She was a person with a miserable life. Not long after she got married, her husband was crushed to death when he was working in a brick kiln which had not been maintained for many years and collapsed.
Her in-laws saw that she was not pregnant and her son was gone, and that keeping her at home would mean one more mouth to feed, so they discussed it and decided to send her back to her parents' home.
Everyone in the village said that Jiang Cuihua had a bad fate and that she had killed her husband. After that, Jiang Cuihua never remarried.
Last year, she fell in love with Chen Jianguo in her team and had always wanted to ask her eldest brother to bring them together. However, before Jiang Dahai had the chance to say anything, she was called away by her family to earn work points.
I thought I would have a chance this time, but I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived today, I heard from my sister-in-law that Chen Jianguo got married, and he married an uncultured, uncultured, and extremely lazy tiger.
What's so good about this kind of woman? Chen Jianguo is such a good person, he must be suitable for someone better.
She thought that she was a widow and was not worthy of Chen Jianguo. However, Chen Jianguo's family was poor and he was old. They both had shortcomings. If she thought about it carefully, they were actually not a good match.
So Jiang Cuihua didn’t want to give up easily.
"Didn't I say that was in the past?"
Jiang Cuihua said sourly: "Being good-looking doesn't make a living. If she were in our village, she would look like a foxy girl, seducing men."
