Kindergarten
The kids were all sitting together, listening to Lu Haici telling stories. Next to Lu Haici was a lunch box, which was open. The rolls were gone, but were replaced by other things, including fruit candies, small cakes, and small cookies.
When he arrived at the kindergarten in the morning, Lu Haici shared his rolls with everyone, and received gifts from everyone in return. Especially Qin Ming, who gave two small cakes. One was the small cake he had agreed to exchange with Lu Haici yesterday, and the other was the small cake he exchanged with Lu Haici's rolls today.
"...The one that came out of the stone is Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong is so powerful. He specializes in beating up bad guys..." Lu Haici said in a baby voice. When the baby voice mentioned Sun Wukong, it was full of envy.
Qin Ming asked: "Why did Sun Wukong come out of a stone? We were all born by our mothers, so wasn't he born by his mother?"
Lu Haici said: "Sun Wukong is a monkey, not a human, so monkeys should come out of stones, right?"
A child asked: "Then let's go pick up stones, can Sun Wukong be born from stones?"
Lu Haici was confused by the question: "I... I don't know, my mother didn't tell me."
Ji Yang suggested: "Then ask your aunt when you go home for lunch at noon. If Sun Wukong can also be born from the stones we pick up, let's go pick up stones after school."
Lu Haici heard it and said: "Okay then."
Lin Qingqing didn't know, because of her bedtime story, The children were ready to go pick up stones to feed Sun Wukong.
At this time, the car arrived at the gate of the family compound.
Although the houses in the family compound were not densely built, the logistics vehicle was larger than a modern car, so it could only be driven outside and could not be driven inside.
After the car stopped at the gate of the family compound, Lu Cheng said to Lin Qingqing: "Look for a while, I'll go call someone to help."
Lin Qingqing: "Okay."
Not long after, Lu Cheng called three male comrades over. When they saw Lin Qingqing, they first greeted her enthusiastically: "Hello, sister-in-law."
Lin Qingqing smiled at them: "Hello, you guys."
Lu Cheng said to Lin Qingqing: "You can go home first. We estimate that we will have to move two or three times."
Lin Qingqing: "Then I'll take some back. Is there anything I can take?"
Lu Cheng jumped into the car and took out a large bunch of meat: "You take this."
Lin Qingqing was surprised: "Did you buy meat?" She and Yu Xiuyao went to the county town at about this time yesterday, and there was no meat at all. She didn't expect Lu Cheng's luck to be so good today. This bunch of meat weighs about three or four pounds.
Lu Cheng didn't elaborate, just hummed.
Lin Qingqing carried the meat and went home happily.
On the way, she saw a few acquaintances, and everyone greeted them warmly: "Deputy Regimental Officer Lu's wife is here."
"Oh, Deputy Regimental Officer Lu's wife, are you eating meat today? There is a lot of meat, can you bring some back to our family?" Someone took the opportunity to ask.
Lin Qingqing refused with a smile: "That won't do. My family is having a dinner party today, and I still think there is not enough meat. This dinner party will not look good without meat dishes. I'm sorry, sister-in-law."
"What's the matter? Of course it's your family who is having a dinner party." The other party also asked casually.
Lin Qingqing smiled and walked through the crowd.
Many military wives behind him murmured, "This girl is really good-looking and polite. Seeing how she defended Lu Haici yesterday, Lu Haici is so lucky." What if he met a stepmother without conscience?
"Deputy Regiment Lu is not stupid. He must have known that she is good, so he married her."
"The wife of Battalion Commander Ji in our family compound is also a good one."
"Yes, yes, yes, so whether the stepmother is good or not depends on whether the man has good taste."
Lin Qingqing naturally didn't know what the women behind him were talking about. As soon as she got home, she put the meat in the kitchen, and then put the things she bought in the room. Then she went back to the kitchen to take out four bowls and poured four cups of cold boiled water for the people who would move things later. Then, she took out the rice, washed it, and put it in the earthenware pot. It's almost eleven o'clock now, and it will be too late to make lunch later.
What they said outside just now about treating everyone was not bluffing, their family really plans to treat everyone tonight. Lin Qingqing is well now, and the sisters-in-law who sent her to the hospital that day have to treat them to a meal, and then invite a few people who are close to Lu Cheng. This is what they agreed on in the car.
So they have to have a big dinner in the evening, and eat a little more casually at noon. Lin Qingqing plans to make minced meat and eggplant rice. The meat happened to be bought by Lu Cheng, and the eggplant was sent by Xu Huijuan. If the eggplant is not eaten, it will be left out in the hot weather.
It takes thirty to forty minutes for the rice to cook. There was a fire in the stove, and Lin Qingqing watched them move things when she had nothing to do. The four big men made two trips to move all the things, which shows that there are really a lot of things.
Seeing that they had moved all the things, Lin Qingqing offered them some cold water: "Thank you, you've worked so hard, drink some water to quench your thirst."
"No thanks, sister-in-law." The men politely refused and ran away.
Lin Qingqing looked at Lu Cheng helplessly: "They didn't even drink a glass of water."
Lu Cheng said: "Don't worry about them... How do you put these things?"
Lin Qingqing took a look and had to admit that Lu Cheng bought a lot of things this time. In addition to the bricks and cement needed to separate the hut, there was also a lot of food, including 20 kilograms of rice, 5 kilograms of flour, 30 kilograms of potatoes, 30 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 30 kilograms of corn flour. I don't know where he bought them from. Did he empty out the place? However, Lin Qingqing did not ask him where he bought it from. After all, with his experience, he must know what he is doing. Moreover, with their current "living together" relationship, there is no need for her to ask.
"Put these grains in another empty room. There are some in the kitchen now, so there is no need to move them there." Otherwise, it would not be suitable for guests to see so much grain in the kitchen when they come in and out.
Lu Cheng nodded and began to move the grain.
Lin Qingqing was not idle either. She carried some vegetables into the kitchen, including cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, green vegetables, cabbage, kelp, loofah, pumpkin, a basket of eggs and two live fish, and some seasonings for cooking.
When Lu Cheng moved the grains, Lin Qingqing had already prepared the dishes and was cutting meat in the kitchen. She cut off half a pound of lean meat from the large bunch of meat. Minced meat and eggplant must have lean meat to taste good.
It was inconvenient without a meat mincing tool, so she could only cut the meat one by one, and then slowly cut it into small pieces.
"Do you need help?" Lu Cheng came to the kitchen door.
When Lin Qingqing heard this, she hurriedly said, "Come on, chop all the meat into small pieces. Let's make minced meat and eggplant with porridge at noon. We're having a dinner party in the evening, so let's keep it simple at noon."
Lu Cheng had no objection, "I'm not picky about food."
While Lu Cheng was chopping meat, Lin Qingqing was not idle either. She washed a loofah and cut it into long strips. She planned to make a light loofah and egg soup with only minced meat and eggplant with porridge without soup. What if he choked?
While Lu Cheng was chopping the meat, he saw her preparing other dishes in an orderly manner. He asked with a little curiosity: "Is this what you call a talent for cooking?" After all, although her movements were not fast or neat, they were neither fast nor slow, and she was not in a hurry at all. She did not look like a novice at all.
"Ah?" Lin Qingqing did not react for a moment.
"You said you have a talent for cooking. You learned it by watching your grandma cook." Lu Cheng said.
Lin Qingqing then remembered what she said yesterday: "Yes, do you think I don't have a talent for cooking?" She admitted it with a guilty conscience.
Lu Cheng chuckled. He probably had never seen such an unhumble person before.
Lin Qingqing heard his short laugh and couldn't help but look at him. After a glance, she quickly looked away. Beauty is poisonous, so it's better not to look at it.
"I asked about the chef job you mentioned last night. Whether it's the big canteen or the company canteen, it's true that they can arrange a chef job, but they want a chef, not a vegetable washer or other odd jobs." Lu Cheng said.
When Lin Qingqing heard that there was an opportunity, she said happily, "What I want is the chef position." She looked at Lu Cheng again, her eyes sparkling, "But is there any difference between the company canteen and the big canteen?" This was the first time she knew this.
Lu Cheng analyzed: "The company cafeteria is... the big cafeteria is... so you see, which one do you want? However, no matter which one, you have to interview, that is, cook on the spot."
Lin Qingqing thought for a while: "If it is the company cafeteria, if this company is on a mission, will people like me who are not on the staff have a holiday to rest?"
Lu Cheng said: "Yes, relatively speaking, the salary will be a little lower. If it is a big cafeteria, the salary will be high for a one-day holiday on Sunday, but at the same time, it will definitely be very busy."
Lin frowned lightly. She seemed to have overlooked one thing. She wanted to find a job as a chef before because in this era, the only thing she could show off was cooking. However, she forgot that this is a large environment. When she was a food anchor, she could cook one dish after another, but in this environment, she cooked big pots of food. That is to say, with her hand strength, she simply can't cook a big pot of food.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing asked: "Lu Cheng, can I arrange to instruct the people in the canteen on how to cook, instead of doing it myself? With my strength, I'm afraid I can't cook for a large army."
Lu Cheng thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it won't work in the big canteen. Even the head chef has to cook in the big canteen. You can try the company canteen. You can go to the company canteen under me, but there is a condition. Your cooking skills must be able to conquer the people in the kitchen class, so that they can willingly accept your arrangement.
However, the salary of the company is different from that of the big canteen. Although the chef in the big canteen is also non-staff, his salary is the same as that of the workers with iron rice bowls. The salary of non-staff employees in the company canteen is 15 yuan per month, But this 15 yuan is based on the condition that the comrades are working except for the stipulated rest time every month.
Sometimes the company will go on a mission as a whole team. If the whole team goes on a mission, the non-staff personnel do not have to work, and their wages will be deducted on their rest days, about 50 cents a day. Of course, if the company does not go on a mission as a whole team, then the comrades who stay will continue to eat in the company cafeteria. At that time, the meals of the remaining comrades will be the responsibility of the non-staff personnel. The four comrades in the cooking squad will leave with the comrades on the mission..."
Lu Cheng explained it in great detail, and Lin Qingqing understood it as soon as he heard it: "I know, I want to try it." Lin Qingqing thought it was good. If the company went on a mission, she would take it as a rest. In fact, she didn't like the "9 to 5" working life like in the cafeteria. It's a pity that there are no jobs with flexible working hours in this era.
Lu Cheng: "Okay, I'll take you to the company cafeteria this afternoon... Is this meat okay?"
Lin Qingqing looked at the lean meat and nodded: "It's okay, you can go."
You can go...
Lu Cheng glanced at her and always felt that this was a bit ruthless, but Lu Cheng didn't say anything. Instead, he obediently gave up his position, left the kitchen, and went to the yard to continue turning the soil, preparing to plant the vegetable seeds.
In the kitchen, Lin Qingqing first made loofah egg soup. Loofah egg soup is very simple. First, boil the water in the pot, then put the loofah in, wait for the loofah to cook, and then put the beaten egg liquid in. After a minute, the soup can be served.
Next is the minced pork eggplant. I don't know how others make minced pork eggplant, but the main soul of Lin Qingqing's minced pork eggplant is bean paste. Fortunately, Lu Cheng bought bean paste. Speaking of which, Lu Cheng bought quite a lot of cooking condiments.
The brands of bean paste are Shaofeng and bean paste. Lin Qingqing used to buy Haitian bean paste because it is more common in supermarkets. She has never eaten Shaofeng and bean paste, but she looked at the brand introduction on the bottle sticker and didn't expect that this brand of bean paste was actually produced by a local state-owned factory in this era.
The method of minced pork eggplant is very simple. First, cut the eggplant into thin strips and marinate it for ten minutes with a little salt. Ten minutes later, stir-fry the minced meat in hot oil, then add the fermented black bean paste and stir-fry until the fermented black bean paste turns red. The aroma of the fermented black bean paste that overflows the hot oil makes Lin Qingqing's mouth water. She has loved fermented black bean paste since she was a child and cannot resist the taste.
After the fermented black bean paste turns red, add the eggplant and stir-fry. Because it is a rice cooker, some water has to be added to make the soup. When the eggplant is cooked, just cover it in the pot and serve it when you are ready to eat.
Outside, Lu Cheng had no intention of turning the soil. Not to mention that Lin Qingqing in the kitchen could not resist the aroma of the fermented black bean paste, even he could smell it outside. Smelling the aroma of bean paste, Lu Cheng felt that it was good to have a wife at home, with the smell of fireworks. In the past, he took Lu Haici to the cafeteria every day, not for the taste of the food, but simply to fill his stomach. But now, smelling the fragrance emanating from the kitchen, he felt that the purpose of his meal was not to fill his stomach, but to eat this kind of smell.
Fortunately, Lu Cheng didn't have to wait long before his little bunny came back.
"Dad, I'm back." Lu Haici and Ji Yang ran home after school. Because the kindergarten is in the family compound, the kids basically go home by themselves after school. It can be said that the kindergarten in the military family compound is the safest kindergarten in the country.
"Mom, I'm back." Ji Yang also shouted towards home.
I'm finally back. Lu Cheng thought while saying, "Go to the kitchen and ask your mom..." Before he could finish his words, his bastard ran into the kitchen, "Mom, I'm back..." The voice was louder than before.
Lu Cheng continued to turn the soil with an expressionless face. He was not as sweet as the little bastard, but he was better at work than the little bastard. Later, when Lin Qingqing came out, she would be able to see him working. So, Deputy Captain Lu worked even harder. There was no way, there was a little bastard to compare with.
Lin Qingqing said with a smile, "I'm back. It's time to eat. Can you please help me, little Lu Haici, to bring the spoons to the table?"
"Sure." Lu Haici's voice was loud and clear, and his tone was "sultry".
Lin Qingqing put three spoons into the small bowl, and then handed the small bowl to him: "Thank you."
Lu Haici's little face was red: "You're welcome." He held the small bowl, puffed out his chest, and walked out heroically. When he walked out of the kitchen door, he also glanced at his father who was turning the soil, and thought to himself, Dad is really something, it's time to eat, and he doesn't come to bring the bowls and chopsticks.
Lin Qingqing followed Lu Haici out of the kitchen, she was holding the loofah egg soup in her hand. She also saw Lu Cheng turning the soil outside, so she called out, "Lu Cheng, it's time to eat." She was thinking that this man was really diligent.
This sentence was what Lu Cheng wanted the most.
"I'm here." Lu Cheng had been waiting for her to call him. When she called him, he immediately put down the hoe. "Is there anything you want me to do?" He asked proactively.
Lin said softly, "Take the soup from the kitchen, three bowls, one for each person. If it's not enough, there's more in the pot, and we can serve more when the time comes."
Lu Cheng: "Yes." He held a bowl of soup in each hand, and he was so neat. But the soup was ready before the minced meat and eggplant, so it was warm now and didn't burn his hands.
Lu Cheng brought the soup down, and Lin Qingqing served it. She first served the rice on the plate, and then covered it with a layer of minced meat and eggplant. When the three plates were ready, Lu Cheng, who had been waiting at the door, said, "I'll serve it."
"Mom, I'll help you." Lu Haici, who was behind Lu Cheng, also spoke. Lu Haici also pushed his father. His father was too bad. He blocked the kitchen door and didn't go in, blocking him, so that his mother couldn't see him. When he grows up, he must grow taller than his father, and then block his father outside, hum!
Three plates of rice with eggplant and pork were served. Lin Qingqing drank a mouthful of soup to warm her stomach, but the father and son on the side had already wolfed down the rice with eggplant and pork. The younger one, in particular, was still mumbling, "It's delicious, mom, this rice is so delicious."
"Yeah." Lu Cheng agreed.
It is a very happy thing to have others like the things you make. Seeing them eating happily, Lin Qingqing was also happy: "If you like it, eat more. I'll make pumpkin cakes for you later."
"Ah..." Lu Haici suddenly remembered something. He jumped off the stool, opened the small schoolbag on the side, and took out the lunch box from it. There were two small cakes in the lunch box. He picked up one of them and gave it to Lin Qingqing, "Mom, this is the small cake Qin Ming gave me. Here, you can eat it."
Lin Qingqing did not refuse the little guy's sharing. She took the small cake and put it aside: "Let's eat it after we finish our meal. Snacks should be eaten after the meal."
"Yeah." In this regard, Lu Haici is very obedient. He obediently took out the other small cake, put it aside, and then continued to eat.
Lu Cheng: "..." Aren't you going to give him that small cake?
Lin Qingqing asked curiously: "Hai Ci, you exchanged Qin Ming's small cake with tofu pancake yesterday. Did you exchange two?"
"One." Lu Hai Ci held up a finger with the hand that was not holding the spoon, "This morning Qin Ming wanted to eat my McRoll, and exchanged the small cake with me again."
So that's it.
Lu Cheng couldn't help but ask: "You won't give me your small cake?"
Hearing this, Lu Hai Ci's eyes widened in disbelief. Obviously, this was an incredible question. "Dad didn't like to eat it before." He used to share delicious things with his father, but his father didn't want them.
Lu Cheng said seriously: "I want to eat it now." He really didn't like to eat these things, but seeing that the little bastard excluded him, he wanted to tease him.
After hearing this, Lu Haici frowned, and finally put down the spoon and picked up his own small cake. Just when Lu Cheng and Lin Qingqing thought that he was going to give the small cake to Lu Cheng, Lu Haici broke the small cake in half and gave the broken side to his father.
Lin Qingqing looked at Lu Cheng and smiled silently. This little boy is so funny. But even though it was broken in half, the little boy is still very filial and gave the big side to his father.
Lu Cheng took the small cake, put it aside, and continued to eat.
Lu Haici stared at his father, and finally lowered his head to eat silently.
The highlight moment was after the meal, because it was the little boy's time to wash the dishes.
Of course, Lu Haici also forgot about this. After finishing his meal, he obediently carried his schoolbag and prepared to go to kindergarten. Lu Cheng stopped him and said, "You were supposed to wash the dishes at noon. Did you forget again? You already forgot once this morning."
Lu Haici was stunned. He never thought his father would be so cruel. Lu Haici gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't forget." His little dignity would not allow him to admit that he forgot.
But Lu Cheng obviously didn't intend to let him go: "Then why did you carry the schoolbag?"
"I..." Lu Haici's eyes were red, he looked at his mother, afraid that his mother would think he was lazy and dislike him. Seeing his mother looking at him, he... He said, "I carried the study into the room and put it away." After saying that, he ran into the room. When he came out, he really didn't have the small schoolbag on him.
Lin shook his head lightly, not caring about them father and son. However, she also entered the room, and when she came out, she was holding the children's comic book "Seagull": "Hai Ci, this is the book I bought for you, you can read it after you wash the dishes." The kid promised to wash the dishes, so he must wash them, even if they are not clean, but the child must do what he promised, and good integrity should be cultivated from an early age.
"Book?" Lu Hai Ci's eyes lit up, and the red in his eyes that was forced out by his father had disappeared. He shouted, "I promise to wash the dishes."
Of course, in the end, Lin gently soaked the bowl that Lu Hai Ci had washed in hot water to soak the oil stains in the bowl.
After washing the dishes, Lu Haici put "Seagull" into his schoolbag: "Mom, I'm going to kindergarten." He couldn't wait to go to kindergarten to show off his new book.
"I'll take you there." Lin Qingqing followed him out.
Lu Haici trotted to Ji's house and shouted in the yard: "Ji Yang, I'm going to kindergarten."
"Here I come." Ji Yang rushed out like a fool.
Lin Qingqing was a little scared of the little cubs' reckless behavior, as if they would fall down at any time.
Ji Yang saw Lin Qingqing and suddenly asked, "Auntie, can a monkey really be born from a stone?"
"Ah?" Before Lin Qingqing could react, Ji Yang asked again, "Auntie, can we go pick up some stones that can give birth to monkeys? We also want to raise monkeys."
Lin Qingqing quickly reacted and knew that Ji Yang was talking about Sun Wukong. She said, "Stones can't give birth to monkeys."
Ji Yang pointed at Lu Haici and said, "Lu Haici, you are lying. Auntie said that stones can't give birth to children, but you said that Sun...Sun Monkey was born from stones."
"I'm not lying." Lu Haici retorted angrily, and he looked at his mother aggrievedly, "Mom, wasn't Sun Wukong born from a stone?"
How should Lin Qingqing answer this? Sun Wukong did come out of a stone, but that's a novel. But if she answered yes, the kids would have to pick up stones to give birth to monkeys. But if she answered no, then in the eyes of the kids, she was lying to them. So for a moment, Lin Qingqing was very embarrassed. Originally, bedtime stories were meant to coax the kids, but now bedtime stories have caused trouble, which made her very helpless.
"Mom?" Seeing her mother silent, Lu Haici blinked.
Suddenly, Lin Qingqing came up with an idea. The kids now couldn't understand why Sun Wukong came out of a stone, but they would understand it when they grow up. So Lin Qingqing said, "Sun Wukong did come out of a stone, but a stone can't give birth to a monkey. As for why Sun Wukong came out of a stone, I can't tell you until you are ten years old. It's a secret."
Children all know secrets, and secrets can't be told. However, Ji Yang stretched out his fingers and counted: "I'm only five years old now, and I have to wait another five to reach ten. It would be great if I could reach ten tomorrow."
Lin Qingqing was amused by his childish words: "Then you have to grow up quickly."
"Well, I will grow up quickly. I have to eat more every day." Ji Yang seemed to be ready to defeat his father in eating.
"Mom, I will grow up quickly and eat more every day." Seeing that his mother's attention was on Ji Yang, Lu Haici immediately said, and he also held his mother's hand, "Mom, you go back and rest, you must be tired today, Ji Yang and I will go to the kindergarten."
Lin Qingqing: "Okay, you must be careful on the road."
Lu Haici, Ji Yang: "Got it."
The two little kids walked side by side to school, and they were very close.
Lin Qingqing looked at their backs, and did not go home immediately, but followed quietly behind. She followed all the way to the kindergarten, and only came back when she saw them go in.
When she got home, Lu Cheng had already turned the land and was planting seeds.
Lin Qingqing joined in and asked curiously: "Didn't you grow up in your aunt's house in the county? Do you know how to farm?" It was surprising. Lin Qingqing knew how to farm, because her grandmother knew how to farm. Many families in the countryside grow their own vegetables, and her family is no exception.
Lu Cheng said: "Before the founding of New China, my aunt and uncle lived in the countryside. That was before I was 14 years old, so I would go to the fields with my uncle's family."
Lin Qingqing said: "No wonder you know how to farm."
The two worked together and planted the land in the small yard immediately. After planting the land, Lu Cheng said: "Come in, I'll give you the passbook."
"Hey." Lin Qingqing followed into the room.
Lu Cheng first took out the passbook with 1500 yuan from Lin Qingqing in the morning and handed it to Lin Qingqing, then used the key to open the drawer of the desk, and took out two more passbooks and a tin box from it: "Here."
"What is this?" Lin Qingqing asked.
Lu Cheng said: "This one is the property left by my mother when she died, all in the bank. This one is the salary I saved over the years. This tin box contains some scattered money and bills, as well as some certificates. Take a look first, and ask me if you don't understand." Since they decided to get along well, Lu Cheng would naturally not hide anything. When
Lin Qingqing heard that this was the inheritance left by Lu Cheng's mother and the savings of his salary, she naturally didn't dare to touch it. However, she also found a good reason: "I'd better leave it with you. I'm afraid I'll spend it recklessly. Once I have the money, I'll spend it without restraint." Lin Qingqing pushed the things back and only took the passbook with 1,500 yuan.
Lu Cheng didn't take it: "You keep it with you. No matter how you spend it, our family can afford it." His tone was not small. Lu Cheng was not a male chauvinist, but because of the influence of his mother's education since childhood, men should have responsibilities, so he was also stubborn about some things. For example, he was stubborn about the responsibility of men to support the family. In addition, he was in a high position, and sometimes he was instinctively strong. He handed the passbook and the iron box to Lin Qingqing, and strode away. He also thought that the little girl might be embarrassed to see him here.
Lin Qingqing, who didn't know what was going on in his mind, looked at the passbook and the metal box in her hand and could only accept it helplessly. She wouldn't spend it anyway, so she might as well keep it. She didn't look at the passbook, but put the two passbooks and the 1,500 yuan passbook back into the drawer. However, she looked at the metal box because Lu Cheng said that there were scattered money and some tickets in it, which might be used in daily life, so she took a look.
Then... the scattered money was more than he thought, but there were tickets, including shoe tickets, soap tickets, industrial tickets, sewing machine tickets, etc. In this era where tickets are needed to buy things, Lin Qingqing likes tickets very much. What she likes even more is that there is also a bicycle ticket. Lin Qingqing thought that if she had a bicycle, it would be convenient for her to go shopping in the county town. So after putting the things back into the drawer and locking it, Lin Qingqing happily went to find Lu Cheng.
"Lu Cheng..."
Lu Cheng was folding cement and bricks in the yard. When he heard her voice, he turned around and asked silently.
"Lu Cheng, I saw a bicycle ticket in the iron box. Can I buy a bicycle?" Lin Qingqing asked. If she bought a bicycle, she might have to borrow money from Lu Cheng. However, after receiving her salary, she would save money. When the time was right and they separated, she would pay him back the money she owed.
"Is there a bicycle ticket? I forgot about it." Lu Cheng said. The big tickets were usually rewards for completing tasks. He didn't need them, so he didn't remember which tickets there were. Anyway, he had the tickets, so he stuffed them directly into the iron box. "Then I'll go to the department store tomorrow to look at the bicycles."
Lin Qingqing: "I'll go too." Of course she would go and check out the bicycle she was buying.
Lu Cheng: "Okay." He thought for a moment, "Are there any other big tickets in there? Are there any tickets for watches?"
Lin Qingqing: "No watch ticket, but there is a sewing machine ticket."
Lu Cheng heard this and said: "Go buy a sewing machine? When we got married, we didn't prepare any betrothal gifts, so I made up for it bit by bit." He said it very seriously.
Lin Qingqing thought about it and felt that it was indeed convenient to have a sewing machine. Although she didn't know how to use a sewing machine, she wanted to learn. After all, the clothes of this era were not the styles she liked. If she wanted to make clothes of her favorite style in the future, she would really need a sewing machine. She couldn't just borrow someone else's sewing machine, right?
Besides, didn't she just buy some cloth to make pajamas and home clothes? So when Lu Cheng mentioned this, Lin Qingqing agreed: "Okay, let's go buy some tomorrow."
Lu Cheng nodded and went to wash his hands: "Let's go, it's almost time, let's go to the company cafeteria."
"Okay."
The company cafeteria is located between the troops and the family compound. This area is full of cafeterias, lined up in rows. Lin Qingqing came here for the first time and was very curious: "So many cafeterias."
Lu Cheng introduced: "We have two divisions of troops here. One division has two brigades, one brigade has two regiments, each division has more than 5,000 people, and two divisions have more than 10,000 people. At the same time, each company has a canteen. A regiment has nine companies, a brigade has eighteen companies, and a division has thirty-six companies, so there are a total of 72 company canteens." After all, there are more than 10,000 troops here, so there are naturally quite a few company canteens.
Lin Qingqing was a little dizzy after listening to so many company cafeterias, but she suddenly thought of something: "I had a quarrel with the wife of Division Commander Qin before. Will it affect your work?"
"No." Lu Cheng said, "Division Commander Qin will not confuse public and private. Moreover, I am from an independent regiment and report directly to the army. I am not under the jurisdiction of the division or brigade."
Lin Qingqing didn't understand these, but she was relieved after hearing what Lu Cheng said. She couldn't help laughing: "I hope it doesn't affect you."
Lu Cheng pursed his lips, looking at her smile, he was in a good mood.
