Chapter 078 How many vests do you have?
When Xingxing came back panting, dragging a stick thicker than his arm and taller than him, the battle was over.
Looking at Jiang Sinian and Lin Wanxia waiting by the arch, Xingxing wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Are you done?"
Lin Wanxia felt like "my son was not raised in vain". She took the stick that Xingxing had to drag with great effort from his hand and handed it to Jiang Sinian. She bent down and touched Xingxing's head, looking at him, "Little Xingxing, you are so nice! I am so touched. So, I will give you a big chicken drumstick tonight."
Jiang Sinian: "..."
Just now he said he was too poor to buy bedding!
The family of three went home hand in hand.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the three of them, and they were reflected on the ground as warm figures.
After returning home, Lin Wanxia looked around.
"What are you looking for?" Jiang Sinian asked.
"Where are the new beddings you bought?"
"I haven't bought them yet." Jiang Sinian added, "You can't say I haven't bought them yet. Someone will deliver them to me later."
Song Chunxia was looking after the grocery store. He was afraid that he would be dragged to cry if he went there again. He turned back to his team at the door, called a new soldier, gave him money and asked him to buy the beddings and deliver them to him later.
On the way back, he met Xingxing who was in a hurry.
Lin Wanxia nodded, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"You've worked hard all day. I'll make it." Jiang Sinian rolled up his sleeves and walked out.
Occasionally, you can use the small kitchen at home to make porridge or something, but if you want to stir-fry something, it's better to use the kitchen.
Lin Wanxia wanted to say something out of curiosity, so she followed Jiang Sinian.
The public kitchen and public bathroom are at opposite ends of the corridor.
The kitchen is very large, with a row of stoves against the wall, a total of six stoves, just enough for six families.
Various seasonings are placed next to the stoves in each family, and the countertops are wiped clean.
It was the first time that Lin Wanxia had seen such a public kitchen. It was very novel and she looked around and touched everything.
Jiang Sinian's speed and professionalism in slicing made Lin Wanxia sigh in amazement, "Have you studied to be a chef?"
Jiang Sinian shook his head, "I worked as a handyman in the kitchen for a month, peeling and slicing potatoes every day."
Lin Wanxia's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she remembered the TV series she had watched before, where the elites among the special forces were trained in this way, and they would be deliberately sent to the kitchen to practice their hand speed and stability.
She asked Jiang Sinian if he was the same.
It was just that she replaced the TV dramas she had watched with stories told by the old people in the village.
Jiang Sinian laughed, "I don't know about others, but I really went to help. At that time, the kitchen team was really short of staff, and if you wanted to eat, you had to help. My training results were slightly better than everyone else, so when they voted, they voted me out to help in the kitchen."
They just wanted to prevent him from winning the championship in the assessment.
But, in the end, the championship was still his.
Lin Wanxia knew that Jiang Sinian was not a person who liked to brag and was self-deprecating, and this was already a very euphemistic way of saying it.
"By the way, I heard that people in the compound call you different names. Some call you Captain Jiang, some call you Cadre Jiang, and some call you Squad Leader Jiang or something like that. Do you have multiple positions?"
"How can I be that good?" Jiang Sinian shook his head, his hands moving non-stop, deftly soaking the shredded potatoes into the basin, and then taking the peppers and slicing them into shreds as well. "I used to be an ordinary squad leader in the infantry battalion of the Marine Corps.
Later, the Marine Corps wanted to form a special team. I passed the assessment and was selected, and became the team leader.
In the beginning, in order to keep it secret, our identities were all logistics support units. I became a logistics clerk. Later, we went on more and more missions, and our team became semi-public.
The sisters-in-law in the family compound have been with the army for a long time and some have been with the army for a short time. So they only know a little about my identity and call me what they know.
Anyway, their partners will not go out of their way to explain my affairs."
It is not against the rules to say it, but it is not encouraging.
Lin Wanxia nodded and watched Jiang Sinian heat oil in a wok, add chili peppers, and stir-fry shredded potatoes.
With a thin and powerful wrist holding the pot handle, the potato shreds in the pot turned somersaults obediently.
But Lin Wanxia had carried this pot herself, a solid iron pot, very heavy.
In addition, men who can cook are really handsome!
"You didn't eat a loss today?" Jiang Sinian put the fried potato shreds on the plate.
The light yellow potato shreds were dotted with slightly black red pepper segments, and a little green coriander was sprinkled on top, which looked appetizing.
Lin Wanxia swallowed unconsciously and shook her head, "Of course I won't suffer a loss. But..." She looked at Jiang Sinian, "Did I cause you trouble?"
Jiang Sinian shook his head, "It doesn't matter, what's the trouble?!"
Lin Wanxia did not miss the pause in his hand, "I remember that leader talked to me and said that you are at a critical moment of promotion recently."
"Did you nod to marry me for this?" Jiang Sinian turned his head and glanced at her, then put the freshly washed pot back on the stove, "Actually, you don't have to care about him. I don't plan to get promoted."
"Why?"
"If I get promoted again, I will have to be transferred out of our team. I don't like sitting in the command room." However, the leader said that he has the talent of a general and should not always be a knife handle.
Lin Wanxia didn't say anything, she felt that Jiang Sinian might have downplayed it.
Although the chief was exaggerating, how could such a high-ranking leader have the time to worry about the marriage of his soldiers?
Since he opened his mouth, he must have had the need to open his mouth.
Otherwise, how could a dignified army commander act as a matchmaker for a soldier? ! Even if the soldier was very outstanding.
Forcing her to marry him openly or secretly.
"Okay, even if it doesn't affect your promotion. Will it affect the relationship between you comrades?" Lin Wanxia continued to speak according to Jiang Sinian's words.
During the break in cooking, Jiang Sinian turned back to look at Lin Wanxia with a half-smile on his face, "No wonder you are so tired and insist on coming to the kitchen to supervise. Don't worry, it's okay. We all know what kind of temper Wang's sister-in-law has, and we all know that Team Leader Zhang is in a difficult position, so it's easy to ignore her.
In the past two years, it's not that the sister-in-law didn't fight with Wang's sister-in-law when she was angry, but she was defeated in the end. Only you didn't lose."
Wang Cuiping looks easy to get along with, but in fact she is very difficult to deal with, and when she scolds people, it's unbearable.
Most sisters-in-law want to save face and take many things into consideration.
She didn't want to quarrel with Wang Cuiping like the wife, and she also took into consideration that her husband would have a hard time with Team Leader Zhang, so she endured it again and again.
Jiang Sinian smiled and turned back to stir the spoon, "Don't think that everyone is trying to stop the quarrel today. If you quietly eavesdrop on the wall later, you will find that every household is gloating over the misfortune of Sister Wang."
Lin Wanxia didn't care about others, and asked, "So will you and Team Leader Zhang have a conflict because of this?"
Seeing that Lin Wanxia was not willing to give in, Jiang Sinian thought carefully, "Probably not. Team Leader Zhang spoils his wife without principles, but he has a good personality. Besides, we don't have much in common at work."
Lin Wanxia nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
But she didn't expect that she was still deceived by Jiang Sinian.
