The two of them quickly returned to the family compound. As soon as Lu Jingchuan parked the car, a soldier came over to him and said, "Deputy Commander Lu, two of the vehicles delivered yesterday have serious problems. The technicians are working on them, but they say they can't fix them. The commander asked me to notify you to come over and help repair them."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Lu Jingchuan responded.
Seeing that he had something to do, Gong Linglong hurriedly said, "Brother Jing, you go to work. I'll go back to cook and bring you food later."
After returning home and quickly cooking the rice, she hurried to the river with a wooden bucket to catch the fish, picked some cabbage sprouts from the vegetable garden, and quickly returned home to prepare dinner.
The pigs in the space were howling with hunger. Due to the special environment, the chickens, ducks and pigs grew much faster than those in the outside world. These pigs were all big fat pigs weighing around 300 kilograms.
"I've been feeding you for three months, it's time to release you."
The pigs have been fed raw sweet potatoes, corn and vegetables for the past two months. She didn't have much time to cook pig food, so she threw two sacks of sweet potatoes into the pigpen and cut two large baskets of cabbage and radishes and threw them over.
As for the chickens raised in the pen, they were all fed corn and rice. The roosters were slaughtered and put into the pot, while the hens were kept to lay eggs.
The duck eggs I bought some time ago have hatched into ducklings. Seven or eight ducklings are swimming around in the small pond. After another month of raising them, they can be slaughtered and added to the dishes.
When it was dark, Gong Linglong hurried to deliver the meal, carrying a bamboo basket in one hand and a large kettle in the other.
"Brother Jing, it's time to eat."
Lu Jingchuan was discussing parts repair with a group of technicians. Seeing her coming, he immediately stood up and asked, "Linglong, have you eaten?"
"Hello, sister-in-law."
This group of technicians are actually older than Lu Jingchuan, but in the army, titles are important, and Lu Jingchuan has a higher rank, so everyone respectfully calls her "sister-in-law."
"Hello." Gong Linglong smiled at them and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet."
Lu Jingchuan walked over and took the basket and water bottle from her hands, then asked again, "Have you eaten?"
"I haven't eaten yet. There's food left at home."
Seeing that they hadn't eaten yet and were all covered in black motor oil, Gong Linglong offered to help: "You guys keep busy, I'll go to the cafeteria and get you some food."
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work." Team leader Li from the technical team expressed gratitude on behalf of everyone.
“It’s not hard.”
Gong Linglong took out the food from the basket and said, "Brother Jing, I brought some oranges. Share them among you. Fill your stomachs first. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he ran towards the cafeteria with the basket.
In less than five minutes, she came back with a heavy basket and bought three taels of rice for each of them, one meat and one vegetable, and a sauerkraut pancake for each of them.
She brought Lu Jingchuan two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, a box of rice, and two boxes of vegetables. The portions were quite large, so she asked them to share them.
"Linglong, go back and eat. We have to work overtime tonight and we probably won't be done until around ten o'clock."
Gong Linglong couldn't help with repairing the car, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back to eat and take a shower first. I'll bring you some water and a midnight snack later."
"Sister-in-law, there's no need to send us midnight snacks. Please just bring us some water."
Each family has a limited amount of food supply. My sister-in-law is generous, but they can't take advantage of her for free.
Gong Linglong smiled and said, "You guys have been working overtime for a long time. You must be hungry by ten o'clock. How can you not eat something? I will make some porridge and pancakes later. You can eat whatever you want to fill your stomach."
After saying that, he took their water bottles and strode back with the basket.
After dinner at home, I filled their kettles with water and hurried over to deliver them. Then I came back to take a shower and cook porridge.
Now that I don't have to rehearse at night, I can free up time to do other things. The fish in the space pond have been fattened up. I kept two small ones and caught the rest, cut them up, and pickled them to make dried fish.
I made some dried fish and smoked fish some time ago and mailed some to my mother-in-law and aunt in Kyoto, as well as pickled vegetables, pickled vegetables, and chopped peppers. My mother-in-law even called her and told her that she had distributed some to the Lu family's grandparents and the Zhou family's grandparents, uncle, and aunt. All the relatives and elders liked to eat them.
At around nine o'clock, Gong Linglong went out again with a basket to deliver midnight snacks.
When she came over, Lu Jingchuan and his team had just finished installing the newly delivered parts. He was sitting in the driver's seat preparing to test them. He looked out and said to her, "Linglong, we're almost done. Sit down and take a rest."
"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll serve the porridge and let it cool down."
Tonight I made minced meat and vegetable porridge, fried a basket of pumpkin pancakes, and brought a bowl of crispy and delicious kimchi. All the lunch boxes were filled with thick porridge and placed on the small table next to us.
The two large trucks were tested for a round, and after confirming that the repairs were correct, everyone called it a day and came over for a midnight snack.
Lu Jingchuan took off his dirty gloves and went to the duty room next door to get some water to wash his hands before coming over. He picked up the chopsticks his wife handed him and started eating the pumpkin pancake, nodding as he ate. "Delicious."
"Sister-in-law's cooking skills are good."
The others also squatted in a circle and started eating.
Gong Linglong had just eaten at home. She was very confident in her cooking skills and said with a smile, "Pumpkin cakes should be eaten while they're hot. They won't taste as good when they're cold. You guys should eat quickly."
The porridge and hot pancakes, paired with cool and crispy pickles, tasted so good that the group of people devoured all the food.
After having supper, everyone went home.
When Lu Jingchuan returned home, he poured water to take a shower and did not let his wife help him wash his clothes. After taking a shower, he took her back to the room to sleep.
"Brother Jing, can you teach me how to drive?"
Gong Linglong could drive in her previous life, but she only drove automatic transmission cars. Her current jeep is a manual transmission. She believes that she can master the driving skills after getting used to the operation, but she needs him to teach her and provide cover for her.
Seeing that she wanted to learn how to drive, Lu Jingchuan said with a smile: "Okay, I'll teach you, starting tomorrow night."
Other female comrades at most tried to learn how to ride a bicycle, but his wife was different. She wanted to learn more skills, so he naturally had to cooperate with her teaching.
"Brother Jing, please teach me how to drive a jeep first. I watched you drive it today and I felt it was very easy to operate. I am sure I can learn it tomorrow." Gong Linglong made some big promises first.
Seeing her confidence, Lu Jingchuan chuckled, "If you learn it in one night, Old Zhu will be so excited that he will lose sleep again."
"Why, Commander Zhu just can't learn it no matter what?" Gong Linglong became excited.
"He has all the theoretical skills of driving in his head and can recite them by heart, but he can't actually learn how to drive," Lu Jingchuan told her with a smile.
Gong Linglong: "...A theoretical contestant?"
Lu Jingchuan smiled and nodded, a hint of uncontrollable laughter in his voice. "What irritates him the most is that the Commander's sister-in-law only watched a few times and didn't remember any of the theory. She couldn't even name the parts of the car, but she got in and immediately stepped on the accelerator and took off. Even the old driver praised her driving skills. Now, she always complains that he only talks nonsense."
