Chapter 145 Accommodation
For dinner, we had the beach lamb that Cheng Zhao brought.
The method is also quite simple. Add a piece of ginger and a handful of salt, cover with a lid and cook for more than half an hour to make hand-held mutton. Although there is no seasoning, it does not smell at all.
Cheng Zhao looked at his sister who was showing off the lamb chops and was really confused. After all, their family conditions had always been good and Cheng Rong had been loved since she was a child. She had seen all kinds of delicious food and drinks. How come her appetite became so good after not seeing her for a while?
Then Cheng Rong went hungry for three days on the train, wasn't she just like people in later generations who fasted to lose weight? Although she was forced, once the body was hungry, it would mistakenly think that there was a famine, and would order the owner to quickly prepare some food and store more fat to prevent starvation to death during the next famine. In addition, it was indeed cold here, and she needed to eat enough food to keep warm.
Look, my appetite has grown as I eat more.
After dinner, Cheng Rong and Xia Zhizhi sent Cheng Zhao to the captain's house.
It was not easy to find a place to stay for the male educated youth. Five grown men slept in one room, and the blankets were packed full. If one more person was squeezed in, everyone would have to sleep huddled together.
It’s not impossible, but it’s not necessary.
With Xia Zhizhi's reputation, it shouldn't be easy for her to find a place to stay.
After informing the team leader, he learned that the person who was going to stay overnight was a comrade from the People's Liberation Army. He was very happy and cleaned up the kang early.
They had three sons, and the houses for them to get married had already been built, one for each son. However, the youngest son was in the transport team for a long time and did not come back. After the autumn harvest, the second son went to live with the youngest son, so two of the four large rooms were empty.
Cheng Rong took a scarf, squatted on the ground, handed the scarf to her brother, and instructed: "Second brother, you pull me in front, I will slide!"
She had wanted to do this for a long time, but she was embarrassed to enslave a child, but her brother did not have this concern.
Cheng Zhao looked at Cheng Rong speechlessly.
"This is not good. It's easy to fall." Xia Zhizhi spoke up.
Look at other people's little girls, and then look at your own sister squatting on the ground.
Before Cheng Zhao finished his sigh, he saw Xia Zhizhi squatting down, holding the other end of the scarf, and said to Cheng Zhao: "This will balance it. It will be easier for you to walk if you hold the middle of the scarf."
Cheng Zhao...
I had no choice but to drag them forward like an old ox plowing the field.
When we arrived at the captain's house, he and his wife were just about to set out their meal. On normal days, they would have finished their meal by this time.
During this time, their eldest son had been living with his daughter-in-law at his father-in-law's house. His in-laws were worried that their daughter and son-in-law would have objections if they kept living in their house, so they specially sent a pheasant to them.
The captain and his wife don't mind this.
My daughter-in-law's parents' home is right next to the commune. It's freezing cold, so I can save more than an hour on my commute. Wouldn't it be nice to save this time and nestle on the kang to give birth to my grandchildren?
Besides, he has many sons, so he doesn’t care about this one or two. It’s better if he doesn’t come back for dinner, so he doesn’t have to cook.
The debt collectors were not around, so the old couple prepared the chicken and planned to have a good meal. The pheasant meat was quite tough, so it took an extra hour to stew it, which delayed it until now.
Seeing them coming, Aunt Yang was extremely happy.
After all, no lesbian can resist a handsome young man in uniform.
This is a comrade of the People's Liberation Army. How rare is this? She didn't even bother to pay attention to Xia Zhizhi. Aunt Yang took Cheng Zhao's hand and said, "Look at how handsome this child is. Look at the clothes he's wearing. How energetic he is. Come on, come on, you must be cold. Come in with me!"
Cheng Zhao, who was sweating profusely after grinding the millstone...
Aunt Yang invited them to the kang and brought them bowls and chopsticks. She was so warm and welcoming that Cheng Zhao felt embarrassed and said hurriedly, "Aunt, we ate here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Rong, under the guidance of Xia Zhizhi, climbed onto the kang with ease.
He couldn't resist the enthusiastic Aunt Yang and the team leader, and half-pushed and half-pulled himself onto the kang.
Aunt Yang happily went to get him an enamel pot and filled it with wine: "This is the small liquor brewed by Aunt Yang's family. Don't be disgusted by it. Take a sip to warm your body!"
How big is the enamel jar nowadays? A full jar would weigh nearly half a pound.
The old lady was so enthusiastic that Cheng Zhao couldn't refuse, so he looked to Xia Zhizhi for help.
I saw Xia Zhizhi already gnawing on chicken feet. Although she had already eaten, she could still gnaw on two more chicken feet when she saw them.
Cheng Zhao looked at his sister again.
Cheng Rong was gnawing on a chicken wing and met his gaze. After three seconds, she reluctantly handed him the other chicken wing in the bowl.
The mutton tonight was so delicious that Xia Zhizhi felt a little full and stopped eating after finishing two chicken feet. Cheng Rong did the same.
Seeing that they didn't want to eat anymore, Aunt Yang said, "It's getting dark, I'll take you two home. Let Xiao Cheng sleep with his grandfather today."
Xiao Cheng was being told stories by the captain, and he didn't know what tragic things would happen in the future.
Xia Zhizhi jumped off the kang and politely declined Aunt Yang's suggestion: "Aunt, you don't have to see me off. Rongrong and I can go back together. It's fine."
On the way back, the two of them chatted while sliding.
Cheng Rong looked at Xia Zhizhi's classic red cotton shirt and said hesitantly, "Zhizhi, my brother will come the day after tomorrow, so you can wear your cashmere coat."
Xia Zhizhi stopped and patted her on the shoulder: "Comrade Cheng, your idea is wrong. I am already so good-looking. If I dress up deliberately, how can others live?"
Cheng Rong feels that there is no need to consider others.
Xia Zhizhi added, "People say that fate is a matter of thousands of miles. If I am destined to be with your elder brother, then even if I dress like this, I am a man, and it won't affect him from liking me, right?"
Cheng Rong felt something was wrong.
But Xia Zhizhi had already hit the ball more than ten meters away with a single kick.
Doesn't Xia Zhizhi know that the way she dresses isn't very good?
I know it's still like this.
That was intentional.
Even if she wanted to have a love affair, she couldn't go to a soldier for it.
She is the richest person in the country, the most beautiful person in the world, and yet she is in a long-distance relationship with someone and exchanges ten letters a year. What’s the point?
In response to experts' call for a "warm bed" project, can gay men of marriageable age find a place to put their lonely and empty spirits?
Even the Sea King doesn't want to raise this kind of fish, not to mention that she is only sixteen, still a baby, it's not appropriate for her to be a child laborer...
The most important thing is that she has no intention of getting married now.
Nowadays, if you date someone for two years and then end up not marrying them, you don’t know how much trouble you will have in the future.
What's more, she comes from a family like Cheng Rong's. To put it simply, you played with the mayor's son and dumped him. You can tell how big your brain is without even thinking about it.
Why does that domineering president like to find poor little white girls to have abusive relationships with and tear their hearts out? It's because he picks on the weak. If he dares to abuse the daughter of the richest man or the mayor, they will beat his head off.
Cheng Rong said she wanted to introduce her to someone, and she didn't refuse. Mainly because after she refused, the kid would nag for a long time, and she didn't want to listen, so she agreed first to deal with it.
