Chapter 97: Purpose
"That's a good skill!"
The two looked at Du Juan's New Year's gift and cocked their thumbs evenly.
"It seems that we still underestimated that Comrade Du." The eyes of the water war are shining.
"Are you so sure that these vegetables were grown by Captain Lin's daughter-in-law?" Bai Meiqin separated the greens and spinach in the basket, not to mention cherishing the cautious look.
"That kid only came home yesterday, how can he have that kind of thought." It's not that Shui Zhan looks down on Lin Aijun, but he knows the growth period of green vegetables, and when these three-inch-long little greens are planted, Lin Aijun is not at home at all. Now they have a heavy snow here, if it wasn't planted by his daughter-in-law, where did it come from?
"It's a pity, it's a pity, Chaochao just went out to perform today to ask for comfort, otherwise let her contact Comrade Du to see if it's as I guessed." Shui Zhan held the teacup with a look of pity, "And I think Comrade Nadu has a good personality, maybe our family will have a few more contacts with her, and the two can still be friends." ”
The girl's heart is high, and none of the girls in the camp have anything she can say, maybe Comrade Du will be an exception.
Bai Meiqin glared at Shui Zhan, this person always talks to himself, and he will be in a hurry when his daughter comes back.
And Du Juan and Lin Aijun didn't care what the couple was thinking, the two of them were holding each other's hands and walking home slowly.
Although today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is no one on the camp road, so the two are not afraid of being seen holding each other like this.
"It's a pity that I didn't see the slanderous heroine." After Du Juan finished speaking, she looked up at Lin Aijun, wanting to see something from his face.
Lin Aijun glared, and said in a slightly warning tone, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being used by someone with a heart, I won't be able to save you when the time comes." ”
"I'm a very principled person, I don't say anything I shouldn't ask, and I'll only ask you if it's strange." Du Juan snorted coldly, feeling that Lin Aijun had lowered her character, and she was unhappy. Ignore people with a pout.
Lin Aijun may also know that he said the wrong thing, and he lowered his head slightly embarrassed and whispered to someone.
Not long after arriving home, Lin Aijun's comrades-in-arms came to the door one after another to pay their respects.
As a result, Du Juan no longer had time to lose her temper with Lin Aijun.
"Come on. Eat melon seeds and peanuts. Du Juan came out with a few pots of melon seeds and peanuts and placed them on the kang table and the dining table under the kang respectively.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
A few soldiers who were younger and didn't usually have much contact with each other saw that Du Juan was still a little shy, and they all stood up and didn't know where to put their hands.
Seeing this, Du Juan just smiled. But then she didn't bring anything in person, for fear that she would sit here and restrain them.
Hua Niu, Ji Min, and Hu Meng were all helping Du Juan prepare lunch, and the fat sister-in-law and Yu Hongjun took their son back to her parents' house, saying that they would not be back until a few days.
However, although there are many soldiers who come to pay New Year's greetings today, only a few of Lin Aijun are closest to them who stay for dinner in the end. Therefore, in the end, only three tables were opened, which made Du Juan breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not that she feels distressed about eating, she is afraid that all the things at home will be burned and she won't be able to entertain the entire brigade of hundreds of people.
"It's been a hard day for you." Lin Aijun helped Du Juan clean up the mess together, and he was very reluctant to go. There will be so many comrades-in-arms who didn't think about staying to eat.
"Is there any food at home?"
"Don't worry, I won't be hungry for you." Du Juan said indifferently, "But I still have to criticize you, which almost makes me lose face." ”
Du Juan stacked the dishes and chopsticks neatly, pulled Lin Aijun to sit on the kang, and poured him a glass of water, "You should have told me earlier, otherwise I can prepare more things, fortunately I left most of it today, otherwise." What do you want me to entertain them? ”
"It's not easy for them to be away from home, and they usually train hard, so although they can eat enough in the team, they definitely hope that there is a place to improve the food once in a while." Du Juan said seriously. "You know I've got some skills, and I'm not a picker when it comes to money. As I do today, I'd love to keep them all. ”
Du Juan sighed, those people were Lin Aijun's comrades-in-arms. She hopes that if her own conditions allow, she can help them somewhat, even if it is an occasional meal.
"It's me who doesn't think about it. I apologize to you. Lin Aijun's attitude is very sincere, and this matter is indeed his fault.
Not to mention the matter of inviting all his comrades-in-arms, he didn't handle those people just now. I thought it would be enough to have a meat dish or something, but I didn't know that it was so easy to invite guests to dinner?
However, after this incident, Lin Aijun has developed a good habit of meeting Du Juan early for anything related to his family.
On the second day of junior high school, the team resumed training, and Lin Aijun also began to get busy.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and on this day, Lin Aijun came back with a cold air.
"You're back, do you have a letter from our family?"
It is not easy to enter and exit the mountain due to heavy snow, but the soldiers of the team's cooking squad still go out every ten days.
This time, due to the Chinese New Year, the time to go out was delayed.
"Give." Lin Aijun took out the letter from his coat pocket with a funny look and handed it to Du Juan, who was anxiously waiting aside.
"Did you say anything?" Lin Aijun hung up his coat, rolled up his sleeves very naturally, and began to put out the dishes in the pot.
"The third sister-in-law is finally pregnant, and she has been more than three months old." Du Juan picked the important one first and said, "But it seems that the third sister-in-law's love is a little unstable, which makes the atmosphere at home messy." ”
"Congratulations to the third brother for finally having a queen." Lin Aijun said sincerely, and then thought of himself, and he didn't know when he would have his own children. He never remarried until he died in his previous life, so he had no children. And this world ...... looked up at someone who was holding the letter, and sighed in his heart, he should have given someone an explanation.
"My aunt asked me if there was anything I could do to slow down the symptoms of the third sister-in-law, and if this continued, she was afraid that the relationship between the third brother and the third sister-in-law would get worse and worse." Du Juan handed the letter to Lin Aijun and took the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.
"And Lan Lan, she seems to have a better and better impression of Yuan Zhiqing. You say, how can we stop it? Should it be blocked? Will it ruin Lan Lan's originally happy marriage in this life? Du Juan had a headache, she had never encountered such a thing. She hasn't finished her own affairs with Lin Aijun yet, so how can she care about other people.
"Come the same, calm yourself down first." Lin Aijun roughly skimmed the content of the letter and said, "Eat first, and then talk about it later." ”
"Okay." Du Juan can't do it, she can't solve the problem hungry. Besides, people are iron and steel, and they don't eat hungry for a meal. This is still true.
In fact, Lin Aijun is not as good as Du Juan, Du Juan has at least seen some emotional things in her previous life. But Lin Aijun stayed in the army for both his lives, and he had the most contact with various tactics and strategies, or he trained with his comrades. You let him fight in the forest or in the desert or something. He can still give you several sets of plans, but when it comes to the relationship between men and women, he has to catch blind. Otherwise, he and Du Juan have been in bed for so long now, and the most critical step has not been done.
At last. The two didn't discuss anything, but Du Juan simply wrote a prescription and sent it back with the letter, hoping to be useful for Qian Xiumei's symptoms.
As for Du Shilan's matter, Du Juan and Lin Aijun unanimously decided to analyze and summarize the content according to what Lin Aijun knew in his previous life and send it to Du Shilan. As for whether Du Shilan will continue to be entangled with Yuan Zhiqing in the end, or choose someone else, she can really only decide by herself.
Another spring arrives, the climate warms up, and the snow and ice on the mountains begin to slowly melt.
And some people's minds are also stirring.
During this time, Lin Aijun went out to train with the team again, and only the soldiers of the cooking class and Ma Guodong were left in the battalion.
Ma Guodong has been out of his wheelchair. At first, he was able to walk slowly with a few steps on crutches. In this way, he could no longer bear his temper and began to carry out the plan he had made for his future when he was recuperating.
"Sun Xiaomei." Ma Guodong snuggled around the corner of the family area, watching Sun Xiaomei come back with a smile on her back with a military shoulder on her back.
"Huh? It's you. ”
Sun Xiaomei didn't reflect who was calling her at first, but it hadn't been long since she finally saved Ma Guodong, so after a little thought in her heart, she recognized the other party.
Ma Guodong is actually not bad-looking, with a burly figure and thick eyebrows and big eyes. It is very in line with the aesthetics of people nowadays.
No, Sun Xiaomei is not disgusted with Ma Guodong, and she still likes it faintly.
"How are you doing, are you all right?"
At first, Sun Xiaomei came back with a bicycle camel Ma Guodong. Of course, it was the camp that was pushed back. Otherwise, according to Sun Xiaomei's small physique, she can't carry Ma Guodong at all, and Ma Guodong is estimated to be even worse.
"It's almost fine, but the legs aren't too flexible. I have to raise it for a while. Ma Guodong said very sincerely, he looks like a loyal soldier and patriotic, so it is just right to deceive an uninformed little girl like Sun Xiaomei.
"Then why don't you stay in the dormitory well, why did you run out on a cold day." Sun Xiaomei twisted the corners of her clothes, feeling a little hot at the tips of her ears. The man's eyes were so focused just now that her heart was beating a little.
"I'm here to thank you, but it was really inconvenient to move some time ago." Ma Guodong was a little anxious, leaning against the wall, one hand still desperately digging something in his pocket, "Also, I, I didn't find a good thank you gift...... This, this apple is for you, you, don't dislike it. ”
Ma Guodong blushed, holding a green apple with a crumpled skin in his hand. He was embarrassed to get a very ugly apple, but he really couldn't get fresh fruit now.
Just this apple, it was sent by his family all the way along with the clothes. What's more, there are not many in the family, and it is very good to be able to send one to him.
"Thanks, that's already good." Sun Xiaomei lowered her head and took the apple in Ma Guodong's hand, her parents' positions are okay, but if you don't have a high position, you can get fresh vegetables and fruits in the winter. Therefore, the days of the Sun family's brothers and sisters are really no different from most families in the family area.
"If you like it." Ma Guodong saw that Sun Xiaomei took the apple in his hand without a little dislike, and immediately grinned, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, but unfortunately the big white teeth were not very neat, which reduced the beauty.
"I haven't eaten fruit in a long time." Sun Xiaomei didn't know why, so she told a man who had only met twice.
There are five brothers and sisters in the Sun family, and she is in the middle, and she belongs to the kind of position that is not painful in the eyes of her parents.
After being sensible, Sun Xiaomei rarely received care from her family. That's why Ma Guodong's apple can so lightly receive Comrade Sun Xiaomei's favor towards him.
Ma Guodong saw that his goal had been initially achieved, so he planned to accept it as soon as he saw it, so he said softly to Sun Xiaomei in a concerned tone, "Although it is now spring, our place is not like the south, so you go back quickly, I will also come out for a while and have to go back." ”
"Shall I send you?" After speaking, Sun Xiaomei's face turned red.
"Huh...... Silly woman, I'm a man, how can a man let a woman send it back. Ma Guodong's tone was cheerful, "You go back first, I'll watch you go upstairs." ”
Stretching out his hand, Ma Guodong boldly patted Sun Xiaomei's head that he couldn't wait to nest in his chest.
Sun Xiaomei was startled and immediately ran away like a frightened deer.
Ma Guodong didn't care about this, leaning against the corner of the wall, maintaining a perfect smile on his face.
"Third sister, why did you come back so late today." Sun Xiaolan, the fifth sister of the Sun family, stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking left and right on the clothes on her body.
"Why do you wear so few clothes on a cold day?" Sun Xiaomei frowned, "Hurry up and put on the padded jacket, be careful of catching a cold for a while." "This girl likes to dress up, and I don't know where she got the new green military uniform on her body, and it was definitely not prepared for her by her parents.
"You have to take care of it." Sun Xiaolan didn't listen to her third sister, wrinkled her nose and took her blue cotton coat and ran into the room.
Sun Xiaomei was no longer surprised, but shook her head helplessly. Twelve or thirteen-year-old children are the most rebellious, she can't take care of it, she still cares about herself.
As soon as she thought of herself, she thought of the person she had just met.
He took out an apple from his satchel, held it in his hand and put it under his nose and took a deep breath, feeling a burst of apple fragrance refreshing. Sun Xiaomei's face suddenly turned red, she took a few steps to the window, pushed open the window and looked down, her face was even redder.
Ma Guodong seemed to feel something, as soon as Sun Xiaomei pushed open the window, he stared at her with a heart.
Sun Xiaomei replied shyly and reluctantly closed the window, she still had some sense.
After Sun Xiaomei closed the window, Ma Guodong put away the smile on his face, turned around and walked back step by step with a cane.
"You have to think of something good to get some more good things, or you won't be able to meet her again." Ma Guodong muttered to himself, and when he arrived at the dormitory, he immediately couldn't wait to dig out all his money.
began to sort out these allowances that were usually stuffed everywhere by him, Ma Guodong's allowance did not need to be sent home, and his usual food was generally provided by the army, so he had saved some over the years.
"Tomorrow is the day when the cooking class goes out again, I have to ask them to buy some good ones, what to buy?" Ma Guodong fell into deep thought.
(To be continued.) )
