After the next sound, Lei Ce took Chu Tianyi to the province with the car, bought all the things he needed, and brought them back by the military card.

When he arrived at the army, Lei Ce called his soldiers to help move all the things home, and put them in accordance with Chu Tianyi's arrangement.

Sending away the soldiers who helped, Chu Tianyi and Lei Ce tidied up the room and kitchen, washed ten sets of dishes and put them in the basket, "Brother, the dishes and chopsticks that can be bought when you go out this time are limited, I am afraid it will not be enough to invite your comrades to eat tomorrow, you remember to remind them to bring their own dishes and chopsticks." ”

Now everything has to be bought with bills, and they can buy ten sets of dishes at a high price, but the dishes and chopsticks are not good, and it is conspicuous to take out too much inventory in one place.

Lei Zer held her hand on the edge of the basket, "Daughter-in-law, let's just take the dishes to the army canteen and give them more food, you are too tired to cook so many meals by yourself." ”

"No, two big pots of rice are enough for them, right? Then make two stewed meats, three vegetarian dishes, three meat dishes, a cold salad pig's head, and one kelp shredded at one table, and serve them together, and they will always be able to eat. Chu Tianyi glanced at him, "However, you have to go to the army canteen to borrow tables, stools, and dishes." ”

"There are too many dishes, just cook something for them, you don't have to eat too good."

Chu Tianyi got up and rubbed his aching waist, "Brother, I know you feel sorry for me, but since we have a treat, we have to let them eat well; Even if it's for you, you have to do a good job, otherwise, it's better not to invite them. ”

"Well, you're right, but I'm so sorry for you." Reitzer still hesitated.

Chu Tianyi smiled, "Brother, let's do it!" I'm going to ask Sister-in-law Tang to come over and help, are there any family members in your soldiers? Bring them over for dinner. ”

Lei Zeying's eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his eyelids for a long time before nodding, "Okay, the first company commander, the second company commander, the third company commander, and the seventh company commander all have family members with the army, I'll go and talk to their husbands; It's just that it's inconvenient for me to come to the door when the commander of the seventh company is not at home, so I'll go and ask Sister-in-law Tang to come to the door and say goodbye, so don't go, just stay at home. ”

"Okay."

After tidying up the house, Lei Ce went out alone, while Chu Tianyi prepared kelp silk at home, processed the pig's head and put it in the newly bought freezer; Wash all the meat and vegetables together and put them in the freezer to avoid stinky meat the next day.

Chu Tianyi stood up with his waist, boiled a pot of water, took a bath, and lay on the bed to relax.

At eight o'clock, Lei Ce returned to the house and went to the bedroom to see that his wife was asleep with a tired face; He stepped forward to pull the quilt for her, and caressed her cheek with his fingertips, his eyes full of distress.

Lei Zer sighed silently, she was too tired and too fortunate after marrying him, she was busy for him all day long, and she never saw her rest; All he could do was to relieve the pressure on her shoulders as much as possible, and when he went to the kitchen, he saw that the meat and vegetables he had bought had been processed and placed in the freezer.

Leitzer leaned on the stove and took a deep breath, his heart touched too much, and he only owed her more and more; Other people's daughters-in-law worked as hard as she did, and she might not complain about her husband, but he never heard a word of complaint from her.

With such a good daughter-in-law, he should be very happy, but why can't he be happy?

Retze wandered around the kitchen all night, and when the bugle sounded, he went to the army for training; At half past seven, I borrowed five tables, stools, and dishes from the canteen, set them up, pulled a cart of waste wood, and then went to the troops.

Chu Tianyi washed up, and when he saw that the time was almost nine o'clock, he quickly went to the kitchen to take the meat and vegetables out of the freezer and thaw them; I was going to make a potato stewed pork ribs and winter melon stewed pork belly, prepare the ingredients, stir-fry the pork ribs and potatoes and put them in the pot on the stove inside, and peel and cut the winter melon I bought yesterday into cubes and stew them with the pork belly.

She breathed a sigh of relief when both stews were in the pot, and the kitchen stove was exactly the same as the farmer's stove, just enough to stew two stews together.

Chu Tianyi looked at the mountain of wooden blocks and his heart was warm, and there were a few iron basins on the stove, which were used to hold vegetables in the army; There are many dishes in iron pots, one pot and one table are enough, and it is very practical in the army canteen.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Chu Tianyi hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, opened the door of the living room, and saw several women standing outside the door, "Sister-in-law Tang, brothers and sisters are here, please come in; There is still some chaos at home, just sit casually, you're welcome. ”

"Brother and sister, your battalion commander Lei really doesn't have anything to say to you, look at the tables and stools outside." Luo Ying pulled her and said mysteriously: "I've heard that Battalion Commander Lei went to the canteen early in the morning to borrow tables, stools, dishes and something, and specially took the soldiers to the mountains for two trips; I pulled a lot of waste wood back for you to burn, and you didn't have to worry about running out of firewood for a month. ”

"Sister-in-law, isn't your Tang instructor bad for you?" Chu Tianyi glanced at her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't you introduce you to my younger brothers and sisters?" ”

Luo Ying clapped his hands, "Look at me, I'm so happy to see you, but I forgot to introduce you." One by one introduced her: "The one on the left is Chen Qiaoying from the first company commander's family, the second one is Zhu Hongxiu from the third company commander's family, the one next to her is Su Yun from the second company commander's family, and the one on my right is Ding Hongcui from the seventh company commander's family; According to their men's names, younger siblings can call them sister or younger sibling. ”

"Hello sister-in-law."

"Hello, come to my sister-in-law's house as if you were in your own house, come in quickly." Chu Tianyi pulled them into the living room, there was a set of sofas in the living room, and in the middle of the sofa was a coffee table, and the furnishings were very close to the later generations, "Brothers and sisters, sit casually, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

Zhu Hongxiu took her hand, "No need Sister-in-law Lei, we're here to help, just go to the kitchen; They should be almost finished training as soldiers, and it is only right to hurry up and prepare the meal. ”

"It's never too late to drink a glass of water and cook." Chu Tianyi insisted on pouring a cup of cold white for each of them, regardless of whether others drank it or not, the etiquette should be thoughtful.

"Thank you, brother and sister." Luo Ying took the teacup with a smile and took a breath, "Okay, the water is also drunk, then let's go cook!" ”

Chu Tianyi smiled, took her arm, and walked into the kitchen with several women.

The six women talked and laughed and cooked well, Chu Tianyi deliberately observed the behavior styles of several women, and found that Zhu Hongxiu and Su Yun were generous and unpretentious, but they were worthy of friendship; deliberately narrowed the distance with them, and the relationship between the three of them became much closer under the intention of exuding kindness to each other.

"Brother and sister, it's half past eleven!"

"Then serve! Sister-in-law Tang, the rice has been steamed, please put out the fire on the stove inside; Brothers and sisters, you can serve, the meat and vegetarian dishes are two pots on one table, and the stew is three pots on one table! The pork head meat and shredded kelp are served on a table and in a pot. "Each of the two stews is made in a large pot, and each is served in an iron basin, and it is just served on the table.

"Okay." Zhu Hongxiu and Su Yun served the dishes neatly, and Chen Qiaoying and Ding Hongcui were obviously much slack.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back." The magnetic voice sounded, and the person arrived before the sound arrived.

Luo Ying bumped her shoulder, and looked at her with an ambiguous gaze, "Hehe...... Brother and sister, I'll go out first! You talk slowly. ”

As soon as Luo Ying left, the other four military wives also left.

Chu Tianyi couldn't help but laugh, and when he saw Lei Ce walking in, he hurriedly pulled him to the side to wash his hands, "Brother, hurry up and wash your hands, you can eat in a while." ”

"Hmm." Lei Ze washed his hands, took the cold water in the basin and poured it on his face a few times, and wiped his face with the towel she handed him; Exhaled a breath of turbidity, held her hand and raised her lips shallowly, "Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work." ”

"Stupid." Chu Tianyi took his hand and walked to the stove, and pointed to the big wooden barrel of steaming rice in the big pot, "Carry the retort to the yard, be careful not to burn yourself." ”

"Okay, I see." Lei Ce wrapped his hands around the wooden ears on both sides of the retort, picked them up and walked out of the room steadily.

"Battalion commander, sister-in-law, we're here!" Hundreds of people poured into the courtyard, and the small courtyard immediately became crowded, "Oh my God! It's so fragrant, I haven't eaten braised pork ribs with potatoes for a long time, and stewed pork belly with winter melon......"

"Sister-in-law, you are too good to us, so much meat for us to eat?"

"That's right! With so much meat, we can't eat so much in a month. ”

"Sister-in-law, did you buy meat for us to eat from the battalion commander's salary in the past few months? Then we would be guilty of too much. ”

Chu Tianyi smiled, "Don't worry, if your sister-in-law is a loser's daughter-in-law, your battalion commander should be in a hurry!" As soon as these words came out, there was laughter for a while.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, sister-in-law is so nice, we can go."

"Guan monkey, you animal, you don't even scream and start robbing."

"Called you to eat two less pieces hehe......"

There were laughter and laughter in the whole courtyard, and after the soldiers had no psychological burden, they were like wolves and tigers, and directly grabbed the meat and vegetables on the table into the bowl.

"Brother, don't the troops have meat for them to eat?" Although Chu Tianyi had already prepared in his heart, he was still taken aback by them, how thirsty is this?

"Yes, but it's not much, it's often just a taste of meat and then it's gone." Lei Ze's sharp eagle eyes softened a lot, and he couldn't say a word of harsh words when he looked at this group of soldiers who didn't even want their image for food.

Chu Tianyi was sad to hear it, this group of the loveliest people can still insist on training under such difficult conditions, showing their most optimistic and positive side, is their heart bitter or sweet?

"Battalion commander, you are bleeding profusely this time, you look at them gobbling up, as if they haven't eaten meat for hundreds of years." Tang Lixing led Luo Ying through the crowd and walked in front of the two.

Chu Tianyi pursed his lips sadly, and pointed to the Eight Immortals table on the side, "Instructor Tang, sister-in-law, and a few company commanders and younger siblings hurriedly sat down, the dishes have been served for a while, and if you don't eat quickly, it will be cold." ”

The five large round tables were full, and there were soldiers standing and jostling with them, a sight that made her sad and full of respect for them.

Lei Zer led her to the table.

Tang Lixing sat beside Lei Ze and glanced at the soldiers who were happy to eat, "Sister-in-law, thank you." ”

"What is there to be thankful for? I just did what I thought I had to do, I wasn't afraid they would be able to eat, I was afraid they wouldn't have enough to eat. "Simple words, but with endless sincerity.

Tang Lixing and Lei Ze's hearts were hot, and Lei Ce patted him on the shoulder, "Eat." ”
