Chapter 390: Impressions
Jin Xiangdong took a cold shower first, then went upstairs and called Bai Xiaolan to take a shower downstairs, and when he entered the house, he saw Bai Xiaolan holding a pillow and falling asleep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info chuckled and shook his head, it seems that this girl has been really tired these days.
took out a thin blanket from the cabinet and covered it for Bai Xiaolan, ready to go downstairs to cook.
Because Jin Xiangdong is single at the regiment headquarters, there will be people here to eat except for lunch, and dinner is all eaten at home.
Jin Xiangdong rolled out the noodles, and went to the vegetable garden behind the regiment headquarters to pick eggplants and peppers, and made a sharp pepper eggplant marinade, and waited for the water to boil, before going upstairs and calling Bai Xiaolan to go downstairs to eat, eat and take a bath.
Bai Xiaolan slept for a while, and suddenly felt much better, holding a noodle bowl and asking Jin Xiangdong: "Why are there only a few families?" ”
"The regiment headquarters has just moved over, and many living facilities have not yet been built, and these families are a few families from the Sixth Company, who are responsible for managing these nearby fields." Jin Xiangdong explained carefully.
"Isn't it a long way to buy something?" Bai Xiaolan exclaimed.
"It's not far, more than ten minutes east by bicycle, it is a local town, selling everything, but we live here are all Han people, and there is an ethnic gathering area, if you go, you may not understand the language. They don't speak Chinese very well. Jin Xiangdong was afraid that Bai Xiaolan would not be used to it, so he said, "If you want to buy something, I can accompany you." ”
Bai Xiaolan shook her head: "There's no need for it, it's just curious, hehe, if you're not busy, take me to have a look." ”
Jin Xiangdong nodded, and added a little more to Bai Xiaolan: "Eat quickly, eat and sleep well, let's go to see Jin Lao tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I will take you to the town to have a look, and the day after tomorrow Thursday, there will be a bazaar (market) to visit." ”
Bai Xiaolan ate and went upstairs after taking a shower, Jin Xiangdong had already replaced the sheets on the bed with clean blue and white checkered sheets, and the quilt was still Jin Xiangdong's military quilt in the army, and the green was washed white. On the ground, there was also a floor bunk.
"You go to bed, the cool air on the Tianshan Mountain in the second half of the night comes down, it's a little cold, you cover the quilt." Jin Xiangdong said as he lay on the mat on the ground, with a thin blanket on his stomach.
Bai Xiaolan blinked her eyes and said with some concern: "It's so cold on the ground, you will get sick if you sleep." ”
"It's okay, go to sleep, you won't be able to sleep tomorrow morning when the radio will be noisy." Jin Xiangdong closed his eyes and said, now they are a legal couple, so he is sure that as long as he goes to bed, he will lose control and turn into a wolf, so it is better to endure it for two more days.
Sure enough, as soon as it was dawn the next day, Bai Xiaolan heard singing and singing about the motherland on the radio, and then there was a news summary, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that Jin Xiangdong had already put away the mat on the ground, and people didn't know where to go.
The window was open, and the morning breeze blowing in from the window was a little chilly, and Bai Xiaolan's bare arms were blowing, and goosebumps straightened.
Rubbing his arms, he got out of bed, found a thick coat from the box and put it on, and was about to go out, Jin Xiangdong came in with a jar in one hand and a plate in the other, containing two steamed buns and a pickle.
Bai Xiaolan greeted her excitedly and said, "I'm just hungry, what's in the jar, millet porridge?" ”
Jin Xiangdong put down the jar and asked Bai Xiaolan to hurry up and wash and eat, and then they went to visit Jin Lao.
After Bai Xiaolan finished washing, she happily picked up the jar, which was a brown liquid with white flocculent floating on it, and asked in surprise: "What is this?" ‘
"Milk tea. Take a sip and taste it to see if you can get used to it. Jin Xiangdong looked at Bai Xiaolan and said softly.
As soon as Bai Xiaolan heard that she brought milk, it must be delicious, and as soon as she took a big mouthful, she squirted out directly, thanks to Jin Xiangdong's hurry, she flashed the steamed bun to the side, and she escaped a catastrophe.
Bai Xiaolan said with a bitter face: "Why is it salty, and there is a strange smell?" ”
Jin Xiangdong put down the plate, took the towel, gently wiped Bai Xiaolan's little face, and wiped the table clean with a rag before saying: "This is local milk tea, and the grandma from the nearby village brought a pot, and it's good to get used to it." ”
After such a mess, Bai Xiaolan nibbled on the boiling water she drank from steamed buns for breakfast, and included milk tea as one of her least favorite foods.
After eating, Jin Xiangdong cleaned up, packed the gifts for Jin Lao, took Bai Xiaolan out, and when he went down to the first floor, he saw the deputy head and technician coming out of the conference room.
Xing Jianwei, the deputy head of the regiment, was burly, his face was tanned, and he said in a loud voice: "Lao Jin, this is the little daughter-in-law you married from the mainland, and the blessing is not small." ”
Jin Xiangdong's smile deepened a little and said, "Well, Xiaolan, this is Deputy Head Xing, and that is Technician Cui." ”
Bai Xiaolan smiled generously and greeted the two, and Jin Xiangdong chatted with Xing Jianwei for a few more words before leaving with Bai Xiaolan.
Jin Xiangdong pushed out a 28 bicycle from the warehouse and rode Bai Xiaolan to Jin's hometown.
Bai Xiaolan looked at the corn and cotton on both sides of the road, which were growing very well, and when she looked into the distance, she could see the white snow-capped mountains, Bai Xiaolan said in surprise: "Is that a snow-capped mountain?" Can we go check it out? ”
"You look close, far away, and you can't get there for days." Jin Xiangdong said with a smile.
Jin Lao lives in a nearby village and belongs to the local jurisdiction, so there are all ethnic groups in a village.
Jin's hometown is at the end of the village, by the river, the yard is very large, the size of an acre of land, the house is built up by mud walls, some low, and the outer wall is not brushed with lime, that is, bare mud mixed with wheat straw stalks.
There is a large grape trellis in the courtyard, which is full of bunches of crystal clear grapes, purple, black, light green seedless white, dark green mare's milk, and golden golden fingers, which make people salivate. These grapes are all varieties that Bai Xiaolan has never seen before.
Jin Lao was giving cabbage seedlings in the courtyard, and when he saw Jin Xiangdong entering the courtyard, he got up happily, greeted him, and said with a hearty smile: "I also said that you want to come back in mid-September?" ”
Jin Lao is in his fifties, but he looks like he is in his sixties, he is not tall, when he walks, his right leg is a little stiff and dragged along, and he has been tortured by long-term illness, and one leg can no longer move flexibly, but he still has a hearty smile on his face.
Jin Xiangdong parked his bicycle, stepped forward to hold Jin Lao's hand and said, "I'm afraid that the group will be busy picking up flowers in September, so I'll come back early." This is Bai Xiaolan, my wife, we have already received a marriage certificate. ”
Jin Lao was shocked, he didn't expect Jin Xiangdong to say that he would get married, if he wants to say that he is cold, Jin Xiangdong is cooler than anyone else, so many girls secretly made shoes for him at that time, he didn't even look at it, he refused directly, and he only went to study for a few months, so he brought a daughter-in-law back. looked at Bai Xiaolan with a smile, nodded and said, "Okay, okay." ”
Bai Xiaolan shouted obediently: "Jin Lao is good." (To be continued.) )
