Especially when with Xu Niannian, he looks even more unsophisticated.
Xu Niannian felt that he still needed to explain:
"The doctor said it looked bigger because there was not one baby in the belly."
After hearing this, the other military wives also understood:
"Oh, they're not twins, right? We haven't had such a happy event in our family compound for a long time."
"That's right. It would be even more amazing if they were twins, a boy and a girl. People say that this has a good meaning."
"That's right. Mrs. Lu is really capable. She was able to avoid all the crimes in one go."
......
Listening to the praises from people around her, Wang Xiuping felt even more uncomfortable. She clearly wanted to satirize her, so why did she let her show off again?
When he arrived in the city, Xu Niannian went straight to the post office.
Of course Wang Hongmei followed her and took the backpack from her hand. Only when she picked it up did she realize how heavy it was.
If you don’t know, you might think there are stones inside.
This time, in addition to the prepared cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded pants, cotton-padded quilts and some nutritional supplements, Xu Niannian also sent a few bottles of medicinal wine and a box of tea to Lu's father.
The last time he wrote to me, he said that the medicinal wine was very useful and that it had alleviated a lot of his old ailments. There were several old men in the research team who had the same ailment as him, and they all came to him to use it.
Xu Niannian felt that they were the pillars of the country, and it was nothing for him to give a little bit of money. What's more, after the reform and opening up, they might be the first batch of customers.
But all these things made the staff dumbfounded. He had been working for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen so many things sent:
"Are you going to send all of these to one address?"
Looking at these packages, he felt that the postage alone would be a huge sum of money.
"Yes, thank you for your help."
He stood up and started to lift the weight:
"I'm sorry, we have a weight limit for each package here. If you have the same address, you have to send it in separate packages."
"Okay, let's separate."
Because Xu Niannian is pretty, the staff still reminded her:
"We have the fee schedule posted on the wall, are you sure?"
"OK, these are sent to my family, please feel free to take care of them."
With these words, he unpacked the package.
The front was fine, with just some clothes and quilts, but when I got to the middle, suddenly a smell of meat wafted out.
His mouth was watering:
"It will take quite some time on the road. Aren't you afraid that the meat will go bad on the way if you send it over?"
It was the first time that the colleagues around him saw Lao Wang talking so much. They all looked over and were attracted by the smell of meat.
"That's right, comrade, I think what you cook is delicious, why don't we exchange things with you?"
I didn't even dare to say openly that I wanted to buy some food.
Xu Niannian looked into their wolf-like and tiger-like eyes, as if they were going to divide her flesh in the next moment.
I had to say:
"This is the jerky for my parents. It won't go bad on the way. They are in poor health and need to replenish their bodies recently. I am too far away, so I can only use this little bit of meat to express my love."
After hearing this reason, many people dispersed.
It is not easy to take away someone else's filial piety.
The man continued to divide the items until he had divided them into three packages.
Xu Niannian paid the fees according to the charges.
Old Wang is still wondering when he will have a daughter-in-law like this so that he will have no regrets in his life.
Although he did not check the contents of the brown paper one by one, he felt he could not stand the smell alone.
The packing speed is also very fast.
Xu Niannian didn’t know if there would be people stealing food in this era. After what happened just now, she didn’t dare to take it lightly. She had to wait for someone to finish packing and give her the order number before she dared to leave.
The two men walked out of the post office and hurried to Xinhua Bookstore.
There were still not many people in the Xinhua Bookstore, so Xu Niannian and Wang Hongmei split up when they got inside.
She didn’t know if the current technology was too weak, but she couldn’t find a suitable book after searching around. Finally, after searching carefully, she found this book in the corner of agricultural books.
When she arrived at the door to pay, Wang Hongmei was already waiting there. She was a little surprised to see the book in her hand.
In her mind, Xu Niannian didn't seem to be someone who would be interested in farming:
"Are you planning to start farming?"
"I was just trying it out in the yard, just for fun."
She wasn't sure if it would work or not, and she was always unsure, so the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Wang Hongmei nodded to show her understanding, saying that everyone has some strange hobbies.
On the other hand, Zhang Liang also called his friend at Kyoto Plastic Factory. After hearing Zhang Liang’s request, his friend was also surprised.
"Didn't you join the army? If you didn't know, you might think you were doing something else."
But it is indeed difficult to do this, because the other party is in an individual capacity, while their factory basically sells to the collective.
It is very difficult to deal with people like them who cannot issue certificates, not to mention that the production is not high now and they are just trying to catch up with the orders.
The friend told Zhang Liang about his difficulties.
Zhang Liang immediately became anxious:
"No, you have to help me. I really have something to do. When I get back, I'll treat you to a drink until you're drunk."
Since he has eaten everything, he has become more grateful. Now Zhang Liang works very hard.
My friend heard this with a mocking tone:
"It's so laborious, and you're not doing this, so you're not doing it for your partner, are you? I haven't seen you come to me for anyone else's business."
"What nonsense are you talking about? They are already married. Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you."
My friend immediately became serious:
"Okay, fine. I'll help you out these few days."
After hanging up the phone, his friend's words were still in his mind, and he shook his head.
It’s time to find a wife. It’s better to find one who can cook like my sister-in-law, so that I don’t have to eat in the cafeteria every day.
After buying the books, it was already time for dinner. Xu Niannian pulled Wang Hongmei aside:
"I'll treat you to some noodles."
"Ah? No thanks."
"Well, a bowl of noodles doesn't cost much. You just carried the bag for me all the way, which consumed a lot of energy. It doesn't look good to be pulling and tugging on the road."
After hearing this, Wang Hongmei gave up struggling.
I was indeed hungry.
Followed Xu Niannian to the state-owned hotel.
Since both of them had small appetites, Xu Niannian only ordered one meat dish and two servings of plain noodles.
If you order too much, the other party will also feel pressured.
The noodles were served quickly and in large portions, with a big poached egg on top. As soon as they came, the two of them started eating.
Although the noodles are thin, the soup base is very well made and tasty, and the green onion leaves are also very fragrant.
After a few bites, the braised pork came.
Xu Niannian took a new pair of chopsticks and picked up two pieces of meat for her.
If she didn't give her some, Wang Hongmei would definitely not eat it.
Wang Hongmei looked up and was about to thank Xu Niannian with a smile, when she suddenly saw two people behind her. Her face changed immediately.
Xu Niannian saw her face suddenly turn pale, and she also looked in the direction she was looking.
