Chapter 218 Changes

She could only walk there by herself. Thinking that Gu Yanyan was small and might need her to carry him on the way, Liu Yinyin didn't bring anything with her.

I only put two kilograms of wild boar meat in the bag, and the meat was for Zhang Mingjuan.

It took about an hour and a half to walk and rest.

Liu Yinyin took her child to the post office.

Zhang Mingjuan saw Liu Yinyin coming in with a boy, and took the initiative to greet her: "You are here..."

Liu Yinyin walked over with Gu Yanyan on her arm and asked in a low voice, "Do you want some pork?"

Zhang Mingjuan's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this: "You have pork?"

Liu Yinyin nodded: "It's just wild boar meat. I brought two pounds. If you want to buy it, I'll charge you two yuan per pound."

At this time, wild boar meat was very cheap at two yuan per pound. If you bought it from Aunt Li, you would not be able to buy it without four yuan.

Liu Yinyin only wants to make money now, and will not exchange other supplies for the time being.

If she were to join the army, she'd better bring some extra money with her.

Zhang Mingjuan naturally didn't mind. Wild boar meat was also very good. She smiled and said, "I want it. Thank you, comrade."

Liu Yinyin shook her head and secretly gave the pork to Zhang Mingjuan.

She put the pork in a bag so no one could tell what was going on.

Afterwards, hearing that Liu Yinyin came to wait for a call, Zhang Mingjuan moved a stool for her and asked her to sit down and wait.

Liu Yinyin waited for about ten minutes.

At ten o'clock, I received a call from Gu Cheng on time.

"Yinyin?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Liu Yinyin held the phone, her lips slightly raised, "It's me."

"Is everything okay at home?" Gu Cheng asked.

Liu Yinyin: "All is well. By the way, you said in your telegram that you had something to tell me? What happened?"

For some reason, Liu Yinyin felt a little uneasy.

On the other side...

Gu Cheng paused and told Liu Yinyin: "I'm sorry Yinyin, I'm being transferred to another military region, so... the matter of accompanying the army will have to wait a little longer."

Liu Yinyin was indeed relieved when she heard this. She thought something had happened to Gu Cheng, but it turned out to be just a transfer.

After a while, without hearing her response, Gu Cheng became more and more nervous, and said with a stiff upper lip: "The new military area is on an island, and it is said that the conditions are very difficult..."

There is a lack of water and food on the island, resources are scarce, and the environment is relatively harsh.

Gu Cheng didn't want his wife and children to suffer with him, but this was the decision from above and he had no choice but to accept it.

Liu Yinyin listened to him carefully, then smiled and said, "This is not your fault, you don't need to apologize to me, don't worry, Yanyan and I are fine at home, it's just a matter of waiting for a while, it's not a big deal, and..."

Liu Yinyin was actually looking forward to it: "I heard that people who live by the sea have endless seafood to eat."

From the time she traveled through time until now, Liu Yinyin has never eaten any real seafood.

Crabs, oysters, abalone, scallops...

Thinking about it, I’m quite looking forward to it. Liu Yinyin doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with living by the sea.

Gu Cheng laughed and said, "I'm afraid you won't be used to it by then."

"How could that be?" Liu Yinyin said with a hint of joy, "I'm such a good cook. I'll learn more about how to cook seafood in the future. The taste will definitely be good."

Hearing her say this, Gu Cheng felt relieved.

The two chatted for a while, and he looked at his watch and said, "Yinyin, I have a mission later. If there's anything else, I'll write to you later."

Liu Yinyin hurriedly said, "Wait, I brought Yanyan here, you can talk to him for a few words, the little guy is looking for you every day at home."

As she spoke, Liu Yinyin picked up Gu Yanyan, put the receiver to her ear, and asked him to call her dad.

Gu Yanyan stared at the phone with his big round eyes curiously. He listened to Liu Yinyin's words and shouted subconsciously: "Dad..."

Hearing his son's childish voice, Gu Cheng's nose was sore: "Yan Yan."

Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Yanyan's eyes were red: "Dad, come home..."

The little guy is two years old now and is speaking more and more fluently.

Gu Cheng said calmly, "Yan Yan, just listen to your mother at home. When your father finishes work, he will pick you up, okay?"

When Gu Yanyan heard that his father was coming to pick him up, he nodded his head quickly: "Yanyan...be good."

Gu Cheng's heart was filled with tenderness: "Yanyan is so good. When daddy comes back, I will take you to buy some delicious food."

Gu Yanyan immediately burst into laughter: "Sugar..."

He missed the candied haws his father bought for him last time.

Gu Cheng naturally agreed to his son's request: "It's fun, buy some candy for Yanyan."

The father and son talked for a few words, and when the time was up, Gu Cheng said something to Liu Yinyin and hung up the phone.

Liu Yinyin was fine, but Gu Yanyan's eyes turned red again and tears as big as beans came out.

Liu Yinyin sighed, picked up the little guy and walked out of the post office.

It was almost noon, and in order to comfort Gu Yanyan's injured soul, Liu Yinyin carried him to the state-owned hotel.

Let's have lunch here at noon.

Due to the heavy snow, the state-owned hotel only offers a limited number of dishes and the portions are limited.

Fortunately, Liu Yinyin arrived early and the state-owned hotel still had two servings of sweet and sour pork ribs.

Gu Yanyan has absolutely no resistance to sweets.

Liu Yinyin ordered a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and a steamed pumpkin.

I ordered a bowl of noodles for the main course, and the portion was quite large.

It was enough for her and Gu Yanyan to share.

Gu Yanyan was a little happier after eating the sweet and sour spareribs.

After lunch, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Liu Yinyin bought two packs of noodles, a pack of snacks and a can of biscuits.

She carried Gu Yanyan back to the village, and not long after, Huang Xiaoyue came to find her.

He brought her a basket of sweet potatoes and said, "My father just harvested these sweet potatoes. Give them to Yanyan."

"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law." Liu Yinyin smiled, accepted the sweet potatoes, and asked her, "Third Sister-in-law, can I buy another 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes from you?"

It just so happened that the fresh sweet potatoes at home had been eaten up.

Liu Yinyin was not in a hurry to join the army now, so she could buy more sweet potatoes and eat them all.

Huang Xiaoyue was stunned: "...Yinyin, aren't you going to join the army soon? Can you finish all these sweet potatoes?"

Liu Yinyin remained calm and explained, "Gu Cheng's job has changed, so it may take a few more months for him to join the army."

When she called in the morning, Gu Cheng told her that he was being transferred to the new military district.

The family housing inside has not been built yet.

Therefore, she definitely would not be able to join the army in the short term.

However, Gu Cheng also told her that the new military district encourages family members to accompany the troops, and the conditions and facilities of the newly built family housing must be good.

Huang Xiaoyue didn't understand this, and after hearing what Liu Yinyin said, she said, "Okay, I'll ask Mingyuan to go to my dad's place and bring back 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes."
