Chapter 343: A New Beginning

Li Shenzhou walked around the house and walked out of the house.

"Dad, are those two gone?" Li Shenzhou glanced at the courtyard.

"Let's go, they're going to bring us some food, we're just here today, there's nothing. Li Mingjin nodded, "I heard your Uncle Xu say just now that there is a village nearby, take a day off today, and tomorrow you take Ye Xinguo to the village to buy some grain and bring it back; if you have vegetables and meat, you can also buy some, as well as pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, etc., all of which must be bought, in this way, we should stop in the provincial capital of Province G." ”

"Dad, tomorrow I will go to Province G to watch and buy, and let Ye Xinguo go to the village to buy food and vegetables!"

"No, you are a girl's house, and you can't move back after buying it, and tomorrow I'll see how to send two cars to take you to buy it." Li Mingjin decided in one bite.

Li Shenzhou knew that her father was worried about her, so she didn't shirk, "That's okay, listen to Dad." ”

Tan Yongguo and Ye Xinguo packed up the house and walked out, carrying the luggage of their father and daughter in their hands, "Chief, let's clean up the house for you." ”

"There's nothing to pack up now, you have to buy sheets and quilt covers and everything, it's not realistic to go out now, let's buy them back tomorrow!" Li Mingjin said, "I'll ask Xu Jianjun if there is any extra armament in his troops later, and if so, I will borrow it tonight." ”

"By the way, Ye Xinguo, tomorrow you and Shen Zhou will act separately, you go to a nearby village to buy grain, you can buy as much as you want, now it's almost the New Year, and you have to reserve more grain." There is still a long time before we can get food at the beginning of the year, and our supply may not be enough for us to eat. Li Mingjin carefully advised.

Ye Xinguo saluted, "Yes, chief." ”

Li Mingjin's eyes turned to Shen Zhou, "Girl, you take more money and food stamps to Ye Xinguo, let him buy as much fine grain as possible, you girl is not used to eating coarse grains, don't cut your throat." ”

"Oh, good. Li Shenzhou walked up to Ye Xinguo, took the luggage in his hand and entered her room.

She found her luggage in her duffel bag and put it on the table, and then found the money and food stamps that her father had hidden in the compartment of the duffel bag, and left the room after cooking three hundred yuan and a stack of food stamps of different quantities.

"Yes, these should be able to buy hundreds of catties of grain; there are not so many fine grains in the countryside, and you can buy everything from cornmeal and sweet potatoes, these two things are hungry and nutritious. Li Shenzhou handed the money and food stamps to Ye Xinguo.

"Okay, I made a note of it. Ye Xinguo carefully put the money and food stamps into his pocket.

Li Shenzhou smiled, "Do you have anything you want to bring? I will go to the provincial capital tomorrow and bring it back to you by the way." ”

"Yes, please bring me two pairs of socks, the weather is too cold to wash and dry, and there are not enough socks to wear. Ye Xinguo said this, took out a small stack of folded money and a pair of tickets from his top pocket, and gave her five yuan and a foot of cloth tickets, "Thank you in advance, Shen Zhou." ”

Intimate clothes should not have been bought by her as a little girl, but seeing that Ye Xinguo didn't realize this aspect of the matter at all, he asked her seriously. I suddenly thought that this person was also quite cute, so I took it.

"Don't worry, I'll bring it back to you. Li Shenzhou took it with a smile.

Li Mingjin saw it in her eyes and wanted to stop it, but seeing that her daughters had taken it, she couldn't talk anymore, so she could only shake her head and smile and reveal it.

Li Shenzhou packed the money and cloth tickets, turned his head to look at Tan Yongguo, "What about you, do you have anything to bring?"

"I don't, so I won't bother you. Tan Yongguo shook his head.

The two people have different ways of speaking and attitudes, Li Shenzhou still prefers Ye Xinguo, this kid is serious and quite funny, and he is easier to get along with than Tan Yongguo.

Li Mingjin glanced at Tan Yongguo unhappily, and just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the voices of Bai Ai Dang and Xu Jianjun.

"Report to the chief, there is no surplus food in the big canteen, and only five catties can be evened out; you will spend the night first, and tomorrow we will think of a way. Xu Jianjun came in with a bag of things in his hand, opened the bag and showed him, "Chief, there are sweet potatoes, cornmeal and white flour in it, and there is no rice, you may not be used to eating it." ”

"What can't we eat as soldiers? When we fight outside, we eat anything that is not poisonous. Li Mingjin took it and handed it to Tan Yongguo, "Put the things in the kitchen, everyone hasn't eaten yet, cook a noodle cube to eat first, Comrade Bai and Comrade Xu also stay and eat together." ”

"No, chief, let's go back and eat. Xu Jianjun waved his hand again and again, there was not much in the total, and the two of them had big stomachs to eat here again, and there was nothing to cook at night.

"Don't bother, chief, we'll go back first; The Bai Ai Party also kept shaking its head, and every household did not have much food, and even those of them who were teachers were poor.

The main reason is that they are all children from the countryside, and it is not easy for them to get to this point; they have to pay half of their monthly salary to their families, and they also have to feed their wives and children who are in the army, and they can't save any money in a month, and sometimes they have to go to famine.

Li Mingjin smiled and didn't force them, "It's really something, we didn't bring quilts when we came, are there any quilts in the military region?"

"Yes, chief, we'll get it for you. Bai Ai Dang nodded vigorously, quite a bit of a kind and honest taste.

Xu Jianjun said: "Chief, there are some people in the army who used to be professional and have thrown some quilts down after returning from stronger families;

Bai Ai Dang consciously spoke quickly, smiled, and no longer answered. It's good to have a surplus in the army, but there really isn't a new one.

"Okay, let's get it first!" Li Mingjin thought for a while, and then said: "The quilt should be thick, and the things spread on the bed board should be casual; ”

"Okay chief. Xu Jianjun and Bai Aidang saluted, turned around to leave, and were stopped by Li Mingjin.

"By the way, I haven't given you any money yet, these things are from the army, you can't just embezzle them without permission, here is a hundred dollars, it would be better if you could get two more things to make beds." Li Mingjin mentioned vaguely.

Xu Jianjun and Bai Ai Dang understood, "Don't worry, chief, I'll send it to you in a while." ”

"I'm sorry for you to run errands, tomorrow when the things are finished at home, I will invite you to have a meal, and when the time comes, I will call another division commander, and we will get to know each other well." ”

"Yes, Chief. ”

Xu Jianjun and Bai Ai Dangxuan saluted and left.

Waiting for the two of them to bring the sheets and quilt covers, Xu Jianjun handed the rest of the money to Li Mingjin, "Chief, these things are sixty yuan, and the rest is here." ”

"Thank you for your hard work. ”

"It's not hard. ”

Xu Jianjun and Bai Ai Dang put down their things and left.
