Chapter 387 Pick Up

Aunt Wang asked curiously, "Yinyin, why did your man bring you food?"

It really makes people jealous. Aunt Wang has lived for most of her life, but her husband has never brought her food.

Yang Liu was also envious in his heart: "Deputy Brigade Commander Gu is really caring."

Which woman doesn't want her man to be good to her?

To be honest, most people in the army are a bit patriarchal. They are fine with doing tasks like serving tea and meals to their superiors.

Not many men can do this for the women at home.

She thought that Gu Cheng would come to the supply and marketing cooperative to bring her meals in the future.

Liu Yinyin could only tell them the truth: "I'm pregnant, and he came to bring me food because he was afraid that I would be tired."

Auntie Wang's eyes widened: "...Yinyin, you are pregnant? When did it happen?"

Liu Yinyin nodded: "Almost two months."

Aunt Wang said, "You're so tight-lipped. If you need any heavy work in the future, just let me know and I'll do it for you."

Pregnant women cannot do heavy work, so Aunt Wang doesn't mind at all just helping out.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Thank you, auntie."

Gu Cheng ordered three dishes for him: prawns with scallion oil, braised hairtail fish, and stir-fried bean sprouts.

The staple food is two fist-sized white flour steamed buns.

Liu Yinyin has been eating a lot these days, and she finished all the food.

In the past, Liu Yinyin would not dare to eat like this.

"Yinyin..." When it was almost time to get off work, Auntie Wang came to ask Liu Yinyin, "The Qingming Festival is coming soon. I'm going to exchange some black rice for steamed black rice rice. Do you want to exchange some too?"

According to local customs, people usually make and eat Qingming fruit during the Qingming Festival.

There were no wild vegetables to pick on the island, so they all ate umami rice.

The supply and marketing cooperative had no umami, so they had to find ways to buy it themselves.

Last year, Liu Yinyin did not buy umami.

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, please help me change another five kilograms."

Udon is a coarse grain with high nutritional value. It is good to eat some occasionally.

Speaking of glutinous rice, Liu Yinyin suddenly wanted to eat zongzi.

The rice dumplings with egg yolk and meat filling are soft, glutinous and sweet......

The more I think about Liu Yinyin, the more I want to eat.

Aunt Wang replied, "Okay."

"By the way, auntie, do you have salted duck eggs at home?" Liu Yinyin asked.

That's how pregnant women are. They have to eat what they want immediately, otherwise they will always be thinking about it.

In severe cases, you may not be able to sleep all night.

Liu Yinyin is the same. She eats whatever she wants so that she doesn't feel itchy inside.

So, she would make rice dumplings and cook them when she got home. There was no fresh pork at home, but there was some bacon.

There is also glutinous rice dumplings, but it lacks salted duck egg yolk......

Aunt Wang nodded and said, "Yes, I have a jar of salted duck eggs at home."

After get off work, Liu Yinyin followed Aunt Wang to her house and bought twenty salted duck eggs.

Liu Yinyin got off work earlier than Gu Cheng.

When Gu Cheng came back, he saw Liu Yinyin sitting at the door making rice dumplings...

Walking over to take over the work in her hands, Gu Cheng said, "In the future, just tell me what you want to eat, and I can arrange for the canteen to make it."

He is of a high rank and enjoys special treatment in the cafeteria.

Liu Yinyin was too embarrassed to bother others: "It's not a big deal, I can do it myself."

The only thing that is difficult about making rice dumplings is cooking; everything else is not difficult.

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "By the way, whenever Dad comes over, I'm free during this time. If Dad comes over, I can take him to the Military Region General Hospital for treatment by myself, saving you the trouble of going back and forth."

"I don't know yet. There's no letter from home..." Liu Yinyin thought of something and couldn't help but frowning. "I heard from my eldest brother two days ago that my eldest sister-in-law also wanted to come to the island to visit relatives."

Liu Yinyin felt helpless as she didn't want the entire Liu family to follow her to the island.

Especially Brother Liu's family, the couple had a bad relationship to begin with.

If something happens, how will she explain to Mr. and Mrs. Liu?

Also...she was afraid that Mrs. Liu's arrival would cause trouble for Gu Cheng. After all, if it weren't for Gu Cheng, they wouldn't have come to the island from Liujia Village.

Liu Yinyin was worried that it would have a bad influence on him in the future.

Gu Cheng didn't care much: "She can come if she wants to."

Liu Yinyin sighed: "I'm worried that my sister-in-law won't want to leave after she comes."

The conditions on the island are much better than those in Liujia Village. Everyone wants to live a good life.

And then there's work...

Gu Cheng glanced at her and understood what she was thinking.

"Don't worry, these things don't affect me, it's just..."

Gu Cheng said nonchalantly, "If it's just because of us, there's really no need for them to stay on the island. Maybe one day, I'll be transferred to another place to work."

Liu Yinyin was slightly stunned: "...You mean, we will leave the island in the future?"

Gu Cheng did not deny: "It's just a matter of time."

It could be three to five years, or even faster, within one or two years.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

All right, as long as they are together as a family, they can go anywhere.

It wasn’t the Dragon Boat Festival, so Liu Yinyin didn’t make many rice dumplings this time.

Just twenty dumplings with egg yolk and meat filling, twenty with candied dates filling, and ten with red bean filling.

Last time we gathered together, Liu Yinyin also made some rice dumplings stuffed with dates to sell, and they tasted pretty good.

Boil the wrapped rice dumplings overnight.

The next morning, Liu Yinyin ate the delicious rice dumplings filled with egg yolk and meat.

Another week passed in the blink of an eye.

That afternoon, Liu Yinyin finally received a letter from the Liu family.

The letter said that Liu Mingyuan and Liu Laifu left their hometown on the 28th and came to Qing City...

The letter was written a few days ago. Liu Yinyin looked at the time and today was exactly the 28th.

In other words, Liu Mingyuan and Liu Laifu will arrive in Qing City in two days.

During dinner, Liu Yinyin said to Gu Cheng, "Dad and Third Brother will go to Qing City the day after tomorrow morning."

Gu Chengran said, "Okay, I'll take two days off tomorrow, pick them up in Qing City the day after tomorrow, and then take Dad to the Military Region General Hospital for a checkup. Then, I'll take Dad and Third Brother to the island to stay for a few days."

Liu Yinyin nodded: "Okay."

We've already arrived in Qing City, but it wouldn't be a stretch to just come and take a look.

Liu Yinyin doesn’t have time to go over because she has to go to work the day after tomorrow.

It's not good to ask for leave every few days.

In fact, even if he had time, Gu Cheng would not let Liu Yinyin go back and forth.

What's more, when Liu Laifu fell ill last time, his son-in-law didn't show any support at all.

This time, I have to show my filial piety no matter what.

The situation of Brother Liu and Brother Liu II is similar to that of Liu Yinyin.

Thinking that Liu Mingyuan was there, the couple did not tell the eldest and second brothers Liu that Liu Lai Fu would come to Qing City for medical treatment.
