Chapter 74
Since we were going to eat soybean milk and fried dough sticks this morning, Captain Lu got up early and went to the canteen to grind soybean milk. However, at this time, some diligent people had already gotten up. Some comrades would get up early and warm up before the wake-up call. So, I ran into Captain Lu today.
Captain Lu was grinding soybean milk, and a soldier passed by and saw him. The soldier was startled. Is Captain Lu exercising? So the soldier watched from the side.
Lu Cheng is a sensitive person. Of course, he can feel that someone is watching him. He looked in the direction of the line of sight and saw that it was a young soldier.
The soldier saw Lu Cheng saw him, and ran over and saluted: "Hello, Commander Lu." He was not a soldier of the independent regiment, but Lu Cheng was very famous in the whole army, so he knew him.
Lu Cheng nodded: "What are you doing here?"
The soldier said: "To reply to the commander, the training time during the day is short now, I plan to train more."
Lu Cheng understood the soldier's idea, wasn't he the same at the beginning? However: "Training is allowed, but it must be done in moderation. If it exceeds the body's tolerance, stop immediately. Everything should be based on physical health."
Soldier: "Yes, thank you for your concern, I will."
Lu Cheng: "Well, go to training."
After the soldier left, Lu Cheng ground soy milk for a while. When it was almost half past six, he had ground the soy milk he needed and went back.
Lu Cheng went back with the soy milk because it was almost half past six, so most of the troops had already gotten up, so they naturally saw him.
"Captain Lu, why are you here so early?"
"What is Captain Lu carrying? I think I smell the scent of soybeans."
"Could it be that the Third Company's kitchen team wants to drink soy milk again?" "
What are you thinking? Does the Third Company's kitchen team need Captain Lu to help them drink soy milk?"
"So... is it that Captain Lu's family wants to drink soy milk?"
Some people were brave enough to ask, "Captain Lu, is that soy milk you are carrying?"
Lu Cheng said, "Yes, my family is preparing soy milk and fried dough sticks for breakfast today."
Everyone was envious after hearing this.
"I want to eat soybean milk and fried dough sticks, too."
"Don't dream. We can only try our luck in the state-owned hotel during our rest time."
"Hey, it's great to have a wife who can cook."
"The sister-in-law of our Commander Lu is the best cook in our army.
" "I really envy Commander Lu. How did Commander Lu find such a good wife?"
"Who is Commander Lu? The wife he found must be good."
"..."
Lu Cheng walked calmly in the envy of the crowd.
When Lu Cheng walked to the family compound, many people saw him.
"Lu Cheng, why did you get up so early today?" The one who spoke was one of the military wives who had a good relationship with Lin Qingqing, and was one of the wives who washed pig intestines.
Lu Cheng: "Qingqing said she wanted to drink soy milk and fried dough sticks in the morning, so I went to grind some soy milk."
"Qingqing is really amazing, she knows how to use everything. My kids love the sweet potato chips."
"Lu Cheng, what are you holding? It smells like soybeans."
Lu Cheng: "It's soy milk. Qingqing made soy milk and fried dough sticks this morning, so I went to grind some soy milk."
Those who call Lu Cheng by his name have known him for several years, and because they took care of Lu Haici, they have a good relationship with Lu Cheng, and because they are older than Lu Cheng, they just call him by his name.
The rest of the people who have a general relationship with him all call Lu Chengjunzhi.
"Captain Lu got up really early today." It was Grandma Chen Zhou who came out. "The soybeans smell so good. They must be delicious when made into tofu." Unlike Chen Zhou's mother, although Chen Zhou's mother has only been in the family compound for a few days, she has a good relationship with everyone. To borrow a word from everyone, she is an old lady who knows what's going on.
Because of her arrival, the relationship between Chen Zhou and children such as Lu Haici has become harmonious.
Lu Cheng was promoted, and Lin Qingqing entered the logistics department and became a female soldier. These are all recent news in the family compound. Especially Lin Qingqing, she is jealous of a bunch of military wives. However, Lin Qingqing's relationship in the family compound is also good, not to mention Yu Xiuyao and other military wives who have "business" dealings with her, even with Zhang Hongping. Later, she taught everyone how to make potato chips, and the relationship was further enhanced.
So no matter what some people said behind her back, in public, everyone congratulated her.
Lu Cheng said, "I'm going to make soy milk, but you know how to make tofu?"
Grandma Chen Zhou said, "This is difficult for me, how can I make tofu?"
Lu Cheng was followed by everyone all the way back home, and Lin Qingqing and Lu Haici had already gotten up. Because Lin Qingqing entered the logistics department to work, she didn't have to go to work as early as the cafeteria. The logistics department started work at 8:30, which means work after the 8 o'clock breakfast time, so Lin Qingqing had time to prepare breakfast, and Lu Haici didn't have to go to the cafeteria alone.
"You're back. I was thinking the wake-up call would soon sound." Lin Qingqing saw Lu Cheng coming back and took the wooden barrel. "It has a nice bean aroma, but it's a pity that it doesn't last long."
"Don't worry, I can eat it." Lu Cheng said.
"Mom, look..." Lu Haici lifted up his clothes and showed his belly.
Lin Qingqing looked at his belly: "What's wrong? Your belly is very white."
"My belly is lumpy." Lu Haici poked his belly, "My belly is lumpy, so I can eat a lot."
Lin Qingqing: "..." With this little belly, can you still eat a lot? However, even if Lu Haici can barely eat a lot, Lu Cheng can eat a lot when he comes back at eight o'clock, but the soy milk is still a bit too much. "Lu Haici, let me give you a task. Go and call Qin Ming and Ji Yang to our house for dinner. Tell them that we are making soy milk fried dough sticks today and invite them to come and eat." Qin Ming often shared the snacks Qian Yuelan bought from the county with Lu Haici. Lu Haici had eaten all those expensive cakes and chocolates. Ji Yang naturally did not have the conditions of Qin Ming, but he would also share the things Xu Huijuan bought with Lu Haici. Moreover, when Lu Haici was still alone, Ji Yang took him to play and gave him meat buns and milk candies. This friendship was different from that of other children.
To use the words of adults, friends who are still good to you when you are insignificant are true friendships.
"Hey." Lu Haici came to the wall without saying a word and shouted, "Ji Yang Ji Yang..."
Although Ji Yang didn't get up, he was awake because Xu Huijuan and Ji Changfeng got up and made some noise, so Ji Yang would naturally be awakened. Hearing Lu Haici's call, Ji Yang got out of bed in his yellow chicken shorts and went outside: "Lu Haici, I'm here."
Xu Huijuan said from behind him: "Put on your outer pants quickly." As she spoke, she put on Ji Yang's pants.
Lu Haici: "Ji Yang, my mother made soybean milk fried dough sticks this morning and asked you to come to our house for breakfast."
Ji Yang immediately said, "Okay, I'll come over now."
Xu Huijuan held Ji Yang and said, "Take two eggs with you and say thank you to Auntie. The eggs are for Lu Haici to nourish his body. Got it?" Xu Huijuan has now accepted the interaction between Lu Haici and Ji Yang calmly, and has even more calmly accepted Lin Qingqing's care for Ji Yang. But she is not the kind of person who accepts favors for nothing. Especially after a lifetime and working in a cafeteria, she understands the importance of interpersonal relationships.
She is not as smart as Lin Qingqing, nor can she cook delicious food like Lin Qingqing, so she can only use her most simple method to communicate. Whatever Lin Qingqing gives Ji Yang to eat, she will give eggs. Sometimes when she goes to the county to buy things, she will also ask Ji Yang to share some with Lu Haici.
She knows that her last life is different from this life. She has opportunities, and Lin Qingqing is not the Lin Qingqing of her last life, so they can be good neighbors.
"Hey." Ji Yang agreed happily. Children also have to save face. If he always eats things from Lu Haici's house, he will be embarrassed, so his mother asked him to bring eggs over, and of course he was very happy.
Lu Haici called Ji Yang and went to find Qin Ming.
Lin Qingqing watched the children jumping out, and she also prepared breakfast. Lu Cheng would come back at 8 o'clock to eat, so the children could eat early.
Two stoves, a clay pot to cook soy milk, and an iron pot to fry dough sticks, Lin Qingqing made breakfast very quickly. When Lin Qingqing was making soy milk and dough sticks, Ji Yang had already come over: "Auntie, my mother said that these are eggs for Lu Haici to replenish his body."
"Is that so? Then say thank you to your mother when you go back." Lin Qingqing took the eggs.
Ji Yang said vigorously, "Well, I will tell mom. Auntie, are you making soy milk and fried dough sticks now? They smell so good."
Lin Qingqing, "Yes, you sit for a while, and I'll call you when it's time to eat."
"I don't want to sit." Ji Yang said, "Auntie, let me light a fire for you, I know how to light a fire."
Lin Qingqing, "No, the fire is already lit, no need to light it again. If you need to light a fire next time, auntie will call you."
Ji Yang sighed, "Okay then... Auntie, I'm going to Qin Ming's house to find Lu Haici."
Lin Qingqing, "Okay, be careful on the road, don't fall, don't run."
"I know..." Ji Yang replied with three words and ran out in a hurry. When he ran to the door, he remembered that his aunt said not to run, so he changed his mind and walked. What if he continued to run and his aunt didn't give him soy milk and fried dough sticks? Ji Yang was very worried. He looked back carefully and saw that his aunt was not outside. She must not have seen him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
When Lu Haici came back, Qin Ming and Ji Yang were together. Unlike Ji Yang who brought two eggs, Qin Ming came empty-handed, but Zhang Hongping gave Lu Haici an apple.
"Mom, this is what Qin Ming's grandmother gave me. Give it to you." Lu Haici hurriedly gave the apple to Lin Qingqing like a treasure.
"Auntie, this is what my mom bought. It's so sweet." Qin Ming said.
Lin Qingqing remembered that it was the season for apples. Wang Lele even asked her to go buy apples together on the weekend. It was normal for Qian Yuelan to buy apples when she worked in the county hospital. "Thank you, Qin Ming." Then he said to Lu Haici, "If mom doesn't eat, you can't eat now. It's time to eat breakfast. Wait until you're hungry in the morning before eating. Got it?"
"Got it, I don't want to eat."
At about 7:15, Lin Qingqing's breakfast was ready. She invited the three children to eat together.
