Towards the afternoon, Li Aobai came back, holding three sleeper tickets in his hand. followed by a bouncing Zhang Yang, roasting sweet potatoes with his left hand and wrapping melon seeds with his right hand.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "It's hard work. There must be a lot of people at the train station, and there is a queue for half a day. ”

Li Aobai said: "There are not many people in the military window, and the sleeper is not easy to buy, so I found an acquaintance, and my former comrades-in-arms worked there after being transferred and walked through the back door." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang kissed Li Aobai with infinite gratitude, and Zhang Yang turned his face away suddenly.

The ticket was at half past eight the night after tomorrow, and Li Aobai asked, "Qiang'er, have you packed up your things to go home?" See, is there anything else to prepare for tomorrow? ”

"I'll go buy some souvenirs tomorrow and prepare something to eat on the road. Four people, you have to be more prepared, you can't owe your stomach on the road. "Zhang Xiaoqiang is right, the time on the road is very long, and it costs a lot of money just to buy.

She took a look at the things at home, and there were some peanuts, which could make some amber peanuts, and they could be used as snacks to fight hunger. Then cook some scallion pancakes and pot helmets, and stir-fry some hot sauce or something.

Because I want to make pancakes tomorrow, I will send a pot of noodles at home in the afternoon, and I can use it tomorrow.

Zhang Xiaoqiang asked Li Aobai: "May I ask this big boss, what do we have for dinner?" ”

Zhang Yang said casually: "Mashi! ”

Li Aobai agreed, and said that he wanted to eat mash too much.

Because I was going to leave the day after tomorrow, I took out all the vegetables stored at home. Cabbage, carrots, fried tofu, spinach, vermicelli, these fried a big pot.

Reconciled a large ball of noodles. Place on the side of the stove.

Zhang Chen also came back, although he was not happy to go back to his hometown, but he knew that this time his sister and brother-in-law also went back together. He wouldn't be scared of that place.

After the board was placed, the three men also joined the ranks of rubbing mash. The big ones are big, the small ones are small, and the people are many and the hands are fast. Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen smeared their faces with flour, like white faces in singing. It's not good to look at the look that amuses people, and the two of them are still comparing who is better.

The water was boiling, and Ma Shi got out of the pot. After a while, he was on the water. Stir a few times, then add some water. Cover the pot. Zhang Chen began to be hungry again, he held his cheeks and asked, "Okay?" ”

"The mash is hard, it's not easy to cook, so you have to wait a while. Hold your horses. You'll have something to eat later. Zhang Xiaoqiang comforted the snack brother and said.

After boiling for a long time, it was almost done. Zhang Xiaoqiang beat two eggs into it, and after a while, golden flowers bloomed on the water.

Salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and the taste is adjusted. Finally, I poured some of the fried vegetables into it and stirred them with a spoon. At this moment, the room was filled with the smell of marsh.

Li Aobai scooped a bowl for Zhang Chen first, but Zhang Chen did not move the chopsticks. But he said, "My sister and brother-in-law will eat first." You guys are working hard. This little guy said such a thing, which amused Zhang Xiaoqiang.

"Didn't you just go hungry?" Zhang Yang said.

"At Xiao Tao's house. Xiao Tao's mother always told Xiao Tao that children should be polite, and if there is something delicious, let others first. "So that's the case, no wonder Xiao Tao is much more sensible than the children of the other two families.

Zhang Xiaoqiang scooped a bowl for one person, and Zhang Yang brought the spicy and vinegar over. Wherever the people of the Western Capital go, they like this sour and spicy taste.

The four of them crowded into a small table to eat, talking and laughing. Li Aobai said: "If I can be promoted next year, we can live in a bigger house, and we don't have to be so crowded!" ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang was very happy after hearing this. She knew that this man would be successful in the future. She said, "Aobai, come on!" ”

Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen also said at the same time: "Brother-in-law, come on!" ”

Zhang Chen tilted his head and said, "I think the current house is also good, with electric lights, soft beds, and stoves, which is very good!" ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Chenwa, life is better now than when we were in my hometown, but we have to work hard together, it will be better." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, my sister and brother-in-law are great, and we will definitely be better." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said solemnly to Li Aobai: "My dear, the happy life of our whole family in the future depends on you!" You're the pillar of our family! After speaking, she looked at her husband with admiration.

Li Aobai stood up, patted his chest and said, "Manly man, this responsibility should be. For the sake of my wife, for my brother-in-law, and for my future son and daughter, I must work hard! ”

The four of them laughed together.

The laughter reached Li Ai's house, and she felt very uncomfortable when she heard it. Because of the last incident, she has been embarrassed to talk to Zhang Xiaoqiang, and when she met each other, she bowed her head and went separately.

Wang Erliang was cold to her for a long time, and she blamed all the grievances on Zhang Xiaoqiang's head.

Li Ai said to himself: "What is there to be happy about, two oil bottles came at once." ”

Wang Erliang's head was raised from the newspaper and said, "People are happy, why do you have so many things?" Although Wang Erliang also came to the door to apologize, he and Li Aobai are still working together as before. He knew that it was his daughter-in-law who was wrong, especially if he lived so close, and he didn't want the relationship to be too stiff.

As soon as Li Ai saw her man say this about her, she didn't know to find fault with herself, and always thought that it was Zhang Xiaoqiang who was wrong. She said: "Look at you, you always think that people are good, and no matter how good they are, they will never live with you." ”

As soon as Wang Erliang heard that this woman was starting to get excited again, he threw the newspaper in his hand, then stood up and said, "You don't know how to look at the advantages of others all day long, and you always say that others are not." You've been in the army for so long, why can't you raise your consciousness? ”

When Li Ai saw this situation, she forgot about the incident of being beaten, and she said: "Hmph, as soon as she comes, you are like losing your soul." ”

Wang Erliang pointed at Li Ai's nose and said, "What's the matter, talk nonsense again, see if I don't smoke you!" ”

Li Ai was so frightened that he quickly hid aside, and the child also cried in fright and said, "Don't quarrel between you two, okay?" ”

Wang Erliang picked up the child, and he also knew that it was not good for the child for adults to quarrel. He comforted the child and said, "Xiaofei, be good, we didn't quarrel, we just spoke a little louder, don't be afraid." ”

After coaxing the child, he said Li Ai: "Don't talk nonsense in front of the child in the future, pay attention to your words and deeds, the child will let you teach badly." ”

Hearing this, Li Ai felt even more aggrieved. After being married for so many years, the two places were separated, and Wang Erliang was not around when she gave birth, and only she knew her efforts. At home and outside the house, she is alone.

It has only been in the army for less than two years, and it can be regarded as calm. Recently, she has been arguing and making awkward noises, and she feels very heartwarming. (To be continued.) )
