Chapter 697 Breakfast World for Two
After a night of madness, the result was just one word: sleepy.
Xu Zijin was awakened by the urge to urinate. He turned around and the person next to him was still there.
As soon as she moved, the big hand pulled her into his arms again: "Sleep for a while."
"What time is it?"
"Half past seven."
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and as usual the regiment is organizing a group party, scheduled for 10 a.m. It is rare for the soldiers to have a good night's sleep, so a later date would allow them to sleep a little longer.
After getting up to relieve himself, Xu Zijin crawled back into bed.
"Wife, listen to the old people and they will tell you that whatever you do on New Year's Day is what you will do every day of the year."
"So, when I was a kid, on New Year's Eve, the adults would tell me to behave the next day and not get beaten."
"Otherwise you'll get beaten every day next year. Do you have such a saying?"
This is just to appease the children.
However, Xu Zijin nodded and said, "Yes, on New Year's Day, don't sweep the floor, don't hang clothes, don't be naughty, and save the leftovers from last night. These are what the adults say every year."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice beside him rang out: "So, what do you think? Today...will we do it every day this year?"
So shameless!
I dug such a big hole, and it turns out you were waiting for me here!
Xu Zijin's face turned red: "Get out of the way!"
But some people are not afraid of being scolded at all, they just roll away, but the closer they get...
The little sheep could never defeat the big bad wolf. When he woke up again, the sunlight from outside shone through the windowsill.
Turning his head to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table, it was already 9:10. Lu Hanzhou had already gotten up and was yawning. Xu Zijin also got up.
After going downstairs, she heard some noise in the kitchen and went in.
Perhaps he heard her footsteps. Lu Hanzhou, who was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, turned around with a smile on his face and said, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
How can I not be hungry?
Forced to do extensive exercise early in the morning, Xu Zijin thought to himself: Only gods would be not hungry!
"What to eat?"
Lu Hanzhou laughed when he heard this: "I cooked some porridge. The canteen has a wide variety of food today."
"There are steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and dumplings. I ordered two of each, and a boiled egg."
"They're all hot in the pot, and the porridge is ready. You should wash up first."
"I'll reheat the two dishes that Mom asked us to bring back, and we can eat soon."
My mother-in-law said, if there is fish every year, there will be surplus every year.
Last night, their mother-in-law asked them to bring back four dishes and told them to eat the leftovers this morning, saying that they would have ready-made meals every day from now on.
Fish and soybean pork trotter jelly are eaten cold, but spicy sauerkraut and mushroom chicken soup need to be heated up.
After washing up and heating up the dishes, Xu Zijin sat in front of the stove and shoveled the charcoal fire into the large brazier.
In the era without air conditioning and in provinces without heating, braziers and fire baskets were essential tools for ordinary people to survive the winter.
There is a lot of charcoal this year. In addition to the one sent by Uncle Wu, several disabled comrades who came here to learn how to raise chickens also sent a lot.
"This charcoal is really good. It's all melted and doesn't smoke when placed in the brazier. It's really good."
After shoveling the brazier and fire basket, Xu Zijin exclaimed in admiration.
Lu Hanzhou chuckled: "The cotton-padded clothes and shoes you gave them are also good. They are grateful to you from the bottom of their hearts, so they naturally chose the best."
"Eat quickly, don't let my wife starve, or I will cry."
Who is this!
Xu Zijin suppressed his laughter and walked out of the kitchen carrying two small fire pots.
The large brazier had been placed under the small table. She put the small fire basket in her hand next to it, then went to wash her hands before coming back to sit down.
The small table was given by Old Wu from the barracks department, and it also came with six small wooden chairs.
Lu Hanzhou was tall, and he was worried that the small wooden chair would be broken, so he pulled a small canvas stool from the army and sat down.
"Be careful, the porridge is still a little hot, but the soup is just right. Drink a few sips of the soup first."
After that, he handed over the bowl of soup that he was stirring and blowing...
Hot soup, a warm stove, four dishes and eight bowls for two people at a table.
Xu Zijin took a sip of the soup first, picked up a fried dough stick and took a bite, then squinted his eyes and let out a long sigh of praise: "Delicious! I finally understand what it means to choose a good person to grow old together, spend the rest of your life with, have three meals a day warmed by fireworks, and be safe all year round."
His wife...is too easy to satisfy.
Lu Hanzhou took a bite of the bun in his hand and said, "This request is too low. You can ask for a higher one."
Xu Zijin smiled and shook his head: "No need to be higher, the most difficult thing in the world is eternal true love, people can't have too big ambitions."
"Lu Hanzhou, do you know how many people in this world are trapped and hurt by love?"
"What is love in this world that makes people pledge to each other for life and death?"
“This requirement is actually very high.”
What's so high about this?
In Lu Hanzhou's heart, either you don't love, or you don't accept it.
Once you love, it will be for life.
"Don't worry, my wife, I will always love you alone."
"Even if a fairy came, I wouldn't even look at her twice."
"This is just a small request: I will satisfy you!"
Xu Zijin was naturally very relieved about the person in front of him.
In his previous life, he was a bachelor all his life.
If he wants to find a woman when he is in a high position, what kind of beauty does he want to find?
But he remained a chaste man, alone.
"You're so good, I'll give you a treat!"
He stretched out his hand and handed the fried dough sticks to his big mouth...
"Wife, this is not how rewards are given."
Xu Zijin was puzzled. What was so special about this?
He rolled his eyes, put down the one he had bitten, and picked up the one he hadn't bitten: "Then this is a reward for you."
Lu Hanzhou rolled his eyes and said: It would be better not to give any reward!
——Alas, his wife is good in every way except that she lacks a little romance!
With this thought in mind, Lu Hanzhou decided to teach by example.
He picked up a bun, took a bite, and then fed it to me...
"Rewards should be given this way, wife, have you learned it? Come, reward your husband!"
Xu Zijin: “…”
The breakfast ended in warmth.
We can’t be romantic anymore because someone will come to wish us a happy new year.
Isn’t it?
Just as the two of them put the dishes into the kitchen, the Qiu Xiaoying sister came in.
"Teacher Xu, Uncle Lu, Happy New Year and all the best!"
The two sisters wore brand new cotton-padded jackets and spoke auspicious words in unison.
"I also wish Xiaoying and Xiaoli a happy new year, good academic progress, and good luck!"
Xu Zijin pulled the two sisters in with a smile, gave each of them a cup of hot milk tea, and brought them several large bowls of fruit.
As soon as the two men sat down, Wang Jiajia and the three siblings of the Gu family also ran in.
"Happy New Year, Teacher Xu! Happy New Year, Uncle Lu! I wish you a smooth and happy new year, and may all your wishes come true!"
Because he had to attend the group's New Year party, Lu Hanzhou nodded to a few children and went out.
Xu Zijin asked everyone to sit down and brought milk tea to each child.
"It's so delicious, Teacher Xu, you can open a store next to the school, it's really delicious."
