Chapter 247 Lack of Food

There are only two stoves for heating water and cooking, and they use charcoal fire.

There are two kettles on the stove with hot water in them. You can just pour them when you need them. It is quite convenient.

Liu Yinyin felt a little itchy and wanted to take a bath.

I endured two days on the train and then another day of traveling.

It seemed that she hadn't taken a shower for three days and she felt quite uncomfortable.

There are two basins in Liu Yinyin's room. They look new and should be enough for taking a bath...

However, hot water alone is not enough.

There is a water tank in the kitchen, but the water is almost empty. It is enough for brushing teeth and washing face, but not for taking a shower.

Liu Yinyin was just about to ask Ma Guilan where she could get some water when she turned around and saw Gu Cheng coming back.

He was holding an iron bucket in his hand, which contained a bucket of water.

This is like someone giving you a pillow just because you fell asleep.

Liu Yinyin smiled at him and said, "How do you know I need hot water?"

Gu Cheng wiped his hands and said, "Since you wanted to take a shower, I brought a bucket of water from the army dormitory."

Liu Yinyin was stunned: "...It should be quite far from here, right? Why is there no place to get water nearby?"

Gu Cheng paused and explained, "Water is in short supply on the island. There is no well near the family house. Every morning, someone will deliver water, but there is only one tank of water. Once it is used up, it is gone. However..."

Gu Cheng added: "Once the family quarters are built, there will be running water supply."

It's time to save water.

Liu Yinyin was not worried about having no water. She had a system, and at worst she could just buy some water from it.

I took a quick shower and wiped Gu Yanyan's body.

It was already dark, and the lights were turned on in the family room.

However, there is a time limit for everything the troops do.

At a certain time in the evening, the lights will be turned off.

Before the lights were turned off, the family washed up and got into bed.

A short separation is better than a new reunion, and both of you are young and full of vigor.

The couple wanted to be intimate...

Suddenly, Liu Yinyin seemed to hear some sound coming from next door.

Listen carefully, it's the sound of wooden boards creaking, and...

Liu Yinyin was not a little girl who knew nothing. Her face flushed slightly. She leaned close to Gu Cheng's ear and whispered, "The soundproofing in this place is not good. How about we just forget it?"

Now that she knew it, Liu Yinyin felt embarrassed to continue.

Moreover, after traveling for several days, she was very tired and just wanted to have a good sleep.

Gu Yanyan was already fast asleep at this moment.

Gu Cheng was in high spirits and naturally didn't want to give up. He picked up Liu Yinyin and said, "Then don't do it on the bed."

Liu Yinyin: “…”

When I woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.

Liu Yinyin stretched lazily. There was no one else in the room.

She looked at the time. It was already past eight o'clock...

I was so tired last night that I can't remember when I fell asleep.

After getting dressed and going out, Liu Yinyin saw Gu Yanyan and Ma Guilan, two of her daughters, playing in the open space in front.

Liu Yinyin called him over and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Gu Yanyan touched his bulging belly and said, "I ate it."

"Yin Yin, are you awake?" Ma Guilan was about to go out with a basket in her hand.

Liu Yinyin smiled timidly and said, "Sister-in-law, are you going out?"

Ma Guilan nodded: "I'll go out and buy some food. Head Gu bought breakfast this morning and it's warming up in the pot. Remember to eat it."

"By the way, Captain Gu also asked me to tell you that he will bring lunch back from the cafeteria at noon, so you don't have to cook."

Liu Yinyin was really embarrassed now: "I understand, sister-in-law, thank you for your help."

Ma Guilan said with a groan: "What's the trouble? You and Captain Gu are both so polite."

They all speak in a very elegant manner, just like scholars.

Seeing that she was about to go out, Liu Yinyin asked, "Sister-in-law, is there a supply and marketing cooperative here?"

Ma Guilan: "You want to buy something? There is a supply and marketing cooperative on the island, but it's a bit far away. What do you want to buy? How about I bring it back for you?"

Liu Yinyin shook her head: "I'd better go with you. I want to buy some seasonings for cooking. I don't know what's here. I want to go and take a look."

She wanted to buy some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and some food...

If possible, Liu Yinyin still wants to cook for herself.

"Okay, have breakfast first, I'll wait for you." Ma Guilan went to wash clothes first.

Liu Yinyin wasn't very hungry yet, and originally wanted to go shopping with her first, but she swallowed the words back.

She washed up quickly and brought out the hot breakfast from the pot.

Two white flour steamed buns, a bowl of white porridge, and a plate of fried small yellow croaker.

well!

Everything here is good, except that there are no vegetables to eat.

The only vegetarian dish for dinner yesterday was shredded potatoes.

Vegetables cannot be grown on the island. Even if you go to the Qing Market this month, you probably won’t be able to buy any vegetables.

Liu Yinyin's taste is actually light, and she is afraid of getting fat. When she is at home, she only eats a few pieces of meat and mostly eats vegetables.

I don't know if there is any way to grow some vegetables on the island...

And eggs... Yesterday I heard from Gu Cheng that eggs are also a hot commodity on the island.

Liu Yinyin is used to living in the countryside. She likes to grow her own vegetables and raise chickens for eggs. It would be even better if she could grow some food...

Afraid that Ma Guilan would get anxious, Liu Yinyin finished her porridge, ate half a steamed bun, and went out.

The steamed buns bought from the cafeteria are particularly large. Liu Yinyin can’t finish even one, let alone two.

"It's done so quickly." Ma Guilan had just finished drying her clothes.

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go back to the house to get some money and tickets." Liu Yinyin thought about it and simply put on her shoulder bag.

After she left the house, Ma Guilan handed her a basket and said, "I give you this basket. I exchanged it with a nearby fisherman. It's not expensive."

Liu Yinyin had just arrived here and was short of everything. She accepted the basket, thinking of buying a new one next time and returning it to Ma Guilan.

I originally wanted to take Gu Yanyan with me when I went out.

Ma Guilan said, "Don't take him with you. The supply and marketing cooperative is far away. You will have to bring him back later. Don't worry, Yanyan. My two daughters are very well behaved. They will take good care of Yanyan."

Liu Yinyin thought about it and nodded in agreement. Gu Yanyan used to play with several cousins ​​of the Liu family often.

Besides, this is a military area, so nothing should go wrong.

"mother......"

Gu Yanyan saw Liu Yinyin was about to leave, and ran over. Xiaopang hugged her thighs tightly: "Mom, I won't leave..."

Liu Yinyin was unwilling to leave him behind: "Sister-in-law, I'd better take Yanyan with me. He just came here and may not be used to it yet."

"That's right... I didn't think of that." Ma Guilan said hurriedly, "Let's go, I'll help you hold the baby later."
