Xu Niannian thought it was funny and handed him the bowl of soup:

"What can you do in the same bed? You can't do anything anyway, so just separate the beds."

Lu Huaijin took a sip of soup and said something meaningful:

"If you can't eat meat, you can still drink some soup."

Xu Niannian sneered:

"That's a nice thought. How come you forgot that it's Yilin's birthday tomorrow?"

Lu Huaijin was stunned:

"Oh, I haven't celebrated my birthday in many years. I didn't expect this."

Among them, few men celebrate their birthdays.

"By the way, when is your next prenatal checkup? Thank you for your hard work yesterday."

You have to go for the check-up by yourself, and when the results come out, you will definitely want someone to be with you.

Xu Niannian glanced at the sky outside. It was sunny today with no clouds in the sky.

"Maybe in two months. Then we can go to our military hospital."

This time it was because of a lack of manpower.

"If you don't have a mission then, I will definitely go with you."

After breakfast, the child who had been cooped up at home for a few days ran out.

Xu Niannian looked at the cotton, sewing machine, and silk thread she had bought at home and suddenly remembered what she had forgotten:

“I forgot to buy a book on sewing machines.”

There was a knock on the door. When Xu Niannian opened it, she found that it was Aunt Zhou and Chief Jiang. Both of them were carrying a lot of things in their hands.

There are canned meat, glutinous rice noodles, peach cakes, canned fruit, milk biscuits, and even a Jinhua ham.

"Chief Jiang, hello Aunt Zhou, why are you carrying so many things? Come in quickly."

She invited them to the living room, made a pot of tea, and poured a cup for each of them:

"There's really no need to take so many things. I took a lot when I came back last time."

Chief Jiang took a sip of the tea in his hand:

"You're welcome. You saved a life in our family. This is all small. This tea still tastes the same as before. It's really good."

The previous misunderstandings about her have now disappeared. In fact, apart from her family background, her conditions are still very good.

She is beautiful and young, a good cook and has talents that always surprise people.

If it weren't for the things happening at home, Lu Huaijin might not have been lucky enough to allow her to come to such a remote place to join the army.

Xu Niannian smiled:

"If you like, I'll take one can with you when you leave. When the new tea comes out next year, I'll leave a few more cans for you."

"What you said is good. I like it. Leave me ten cans next year and I will pay you. Don't be polite to me. I will give some to my old friends."

Aunt Zhou retorted to him:

"Is he asking you to come over and take advantage of me?"

Chief Jiang picked up the tea in his hand:

"I heard that Huai Jin was discharged from the hospital yesterday?"

He also heard from others how Lu Huaijin protected Xu Niannian in the car.

"Yes, he is in the house."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Huaijin came out of the room. He had just heard Chief Jiang's voice in the room, so he changed his clothes before coming out.

"Hello, Chief."

Chief Jiang nodded, and the two of them went to talk over the coffee table.

Aunt Zhou looked at the sewing machine, which was turned on, and the cloth and cotton were placed next to it:

"Xiao Xu, do you want to make clothes?"

"Yes, it's getting cold soon, and I didn't bring extra cold weather clothes when I came here. I'll see how to make it, but even if I buy a sewing machine, I still don't know how to use it."

Aunt Zhou smiled:

"What a coincidence, I know how to do it. If you don't mind, I'll teach you."

When Chief Jiang left, Aunt Zhou was still teaching Xu Niannian how to make clothes seriously, and he left first.

After a whole morning of hard work, Xu Niannian finally mastered the skill and could start sewing properly.

When Xu Niannian gave Aunt Zhou a gift, he did not forget to give her a can of tea. Next year, when the leader asks for ten cans, he can get a lot of money back.

What's more, the people the leader knows must be powerful, and they may be of help in the future when reform and opening up come.

Doesn’t this open up the upper-level market?

The next day, Xu Niannian got up early in the morning to make longevity noodles. There are certain requirements for longevity noodles. The longer a noodle is, the better. This means that one has to knead the dough and make it by hand.

Xu Niannian first boiled the bone soup again, then kneaded the fermented dough a few times and formed it into a long strip.

Lu Ze came over when she was halfway through.

He had already washed up and was concentrating on watching Xu Niannian making noodles:

"The ones Erniu's family made for him before were not this long. Auntie is really amazing to make it this long."

He just saw that the noodles were not broken at all and were made into a whole long noodle.

"Yes, longevity noodles should be eaten longer, but you can't say that in front of other people."

Lu Ze immediately put his little hand in front of his mouth to indicate that he was keeping his mouth shut.

“Is there anything your friend doesn’t like to eat?”

"No, I've given them cakes made by my aunt before, and they liked them very much."

Xu Niannian cooked the noodles:

"Go wake up my brother, we need to eat soon."

Lu Huaijin couldn't lie in bed any longer, so he ate outside in the morning.

Xu Niannian explained to them one by one that there were golden French fries, fried chicken nuggets, and egg tarts on the table, and the whole yard was filled with delicious aromas.

There were also six bowls of noodles, but Lu Ze and his brother had the words "Happy Birthday" carved out of carrots in their two bowls.

When Daniu came, he prepared to give his beloved glass ball to Lu Yilin.
