Chapter Eighty-Eight: Warmth
Yang Mingzhi was in a good mood, and the training results of the two girls were satisfactory. So be sure to treat them in the evening, and call old friends over for a meal by the way.
Yelenkina was the first to come, she was the political commissar of the army, and after dealing with the daily routine of "ideological education", she followed Yang Mingzhi's invitation and came to his small home, just in time to see Yang Mingzhi preparing to cook.
"Berekov, you Chinese always pursue exquisite food, and it takes so much effort to cook a meal?" Yelenkina watched as Yang Mingzhi cut potatoes on the cutting board. The potato chips had been sliced, and she knew that the guy would shred the potatoes and cook them for a special purpose.
Yerenkina wandered around the open-air "kitchen" and found some special ingredients. She opened a piece of oiled paper and opened it to see that it was actually a piece of cooked beef.
"Hey! Don't move! Either come over and help, or just sit on the side. ”
Yerenkina stuck out her tongue and immediately asked about the beef. Yang Mingzhi looked at this time, this person was a little greedy. There's no way, let's deal with the beef first, and some people in the province are worried.
Yang Mingzhi cut a small piece and threw it to Yelenkina. "I haven't eaten good meat in a while. This is from the Black Earth Village, and the plan is to treat my girls, or you are a girl yourself. ”
"Okay, I accept your kindness, anyway, I won't be indispensable for a while."
"That's nature. But don't you feel like you have to make some sacrifices? ”
The clever Yelenkina immediately understood Yang Mingzhi's intentions, and chewed on the piece of meat. "All I can help you with is make a move, okay, what do you want me to do."
In this way, Yeretina, who had come early, became a "cook", and she was ordered to peel a few more potatoes. She loves her new job because she has all the ingredients she can cook the famous communist dish, beef with potatoes and potatoes, the Hungarian national dish, Urgushetia.
In addition, there are naturally other dishes, because of the limitation of ingredients, Yang Mingzhi is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice. With only cabbage and radish on hand, make a shredded radish with salt and a vegetable soup.
There are also some edible mushrooms and bracken in the woods, and these scrambled eggs will be made. Before and after the dishes, Yang Mingzhi felt that there was no difference between this and a farmhouse. Of course, during the war years, this meal was very rich. He looked at the sky, it was already September, three months after the outbreak of the war, the enemy's offensive was still fierce, but the enemy's good times would eventually pass.
Just like these gloomy days, the dark clouds will eventually dissipate and victory will inevitably come.
On the other hand, at the end of the day's training, all the young soldiers went back to their dormitories. Yang Mingzhi gave the order, and both Natasha and his younger brother moved to the guard company's camp and moved into newly built houses. This is a very high salary, Natasha will take better care of her brother, and it will be convenient for her to train with everyone, and even military activities.
Yevlov led two elated girls, both of whom had a lot to tell Yang Mingzhi.
Star fruit remembers the anti-tank gun that was demonically modified by her husband, and it has become the standard weapon for herself and Natasha. Two people can carry it away, and its powerful power makes people feel safe.
The two carried their guns on their backs, and the bullets were handed over to the quartermaster of the guard company, and the guns were kept by themselves.
Yang Mingzhi beckoned to the tired girl, "You're a little late, and the meal has already been cooked." ”
The intoxicating aroma fills the air, arousing children's cravings. The meal had to be hearty, and Yang Mingzhi even prepared black tea bags captured from the Germans. He greeted Yevlov and ordered the girl to put her gun down on the spot and eat while it was still evening.
Star fruit and Natasha grinned and sat down, the meal was indeed hearty, and it was a pleasure to eat food after a day of training.
Natasha's younger brother arrived before his sister, and Yang Mingzhi also asked the child something. The so-called young children had to do simple work, help with the daily production of the collective farm, and at other times they had to learn knowledge.
Everyone who should come came, all meals, ordinary soldiers nibbled on bread and drank vegetable soup, and Yang Mingzhi, the chef, made a sumptuous banquet for senior officers.
"We don't drink alcohol today, we replace wine with tea." Yang Mingzhi introduced the black tea, "This is the material we seized last time, and a lot of black tea powder and sugar cubes were found." Sugar was put in the tea, and sugar was put in Yagushri. ”
Today's hard dish is Yagush, potato roast beef. Yang Mingzhi took a large piece of meat, and this time, considering Yevlov's big appetite, he still cut more.
Yang Mingzhi looked at everyone: "How is it." Let's eat it now. ”
"No, no, no!" Yevlov hurriedly stopped with a smile, "Let's do a pre-dinner ritual." ”
The so-called ritual is certainly not a praise to God. Everyone raised their glasses, and Yevlov said: "To our warriors. ”
"To the Bolsheviks." Yerenkina said.
Yang Mingzhi has to learn from each other, and he has to say something. "Well, salute this war. We salute our fallen comrades and pay tribute to the soldiers who are still fighting. We will definitely win this war. ”
After toasting, he was able to move his chopsticks, and Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands to announce that everyone was eating. As he expected, the goulash with potatoes was a favorite among the kids.
Carambola immediately stretched out her chopsticks, and Natasha and her brother did not show weakness, and the fork rushed straight up.
Yang Mingzhi looked at the two sisters and brothers intoxicated, and saw that the elder sister did not eat this piece of meat by herself, but put it on her brother's dinner plate, and she still had words. "Kostya, you have to eat a little more today, there won't be many opportunities to eat meat in the future."
The boy nodded, he was still a little timid about the adults, only his sister was present, and he calmed down. “
"How warm." Carambola couldn't help but say, this is still said in Chinese.
"Yes, dear, they're brothers and sisters after all." Yang Mingzhi noticed that she was moving the bench to her side, and her little head was subconsciously rubbing against her arm.
"Okay, okay, little peach, you can eat in peace. If you want to be coquettish, you will talk about it at night. ”
"Okay, brother. I'll sit down. ”
Yang Mingzhi didn't care at first, until this girl would recover her demeanor, and then he remembered that she said "Brother." He remembered that star fruit had an older brother and a cousin, but her background was very pitiful. No wonder he was moved when he saw the warm scene of the two sisters and brothers, Yang Mingzhi said twice, and as soon as the chopsticks were clamped, the dishes were put on his wife's plate.
"Eat more, my good sister."
Star fruit was stunned. "Husband, what did you just say?"
"Of course it's my sister. Xiao Tao, you also miss your parents and relatives, and you miss your brother and brother. But you also know that in this foreign land, you and I have been suffering from the same disease for a long time. In my opinion, you are my wife and my little sister. After the war, our friendship has deepened. ”
Yang Mingzhi's words poked in the heart of the star fruit, after all, she was a seventeen-year-old girl, and she was far inferior to the girls of later generations in terms of culture. She is indeed a progressive woman, and under Yang Mingzhi's tutelage, she has more miscellaneous knowledge with the women of her contemporaries. However, her heart is still fragile, and she can only quickly find a new backer after her family suffers.
In the past, the backer was the Anti-Japanese Federation, but now there is only her husband and her comrades-in-arms on the Soviet side. But she also knows that war is not a war that anyone says that if you don't die, you won't die, and that death and injury in battle are often very sudden.
Thinking about it, the girl actually cried. "You, I know what's going on in your mind." Carambola endured the excitement of the new, listening to her husband's chatter, and the action of wiping her tears.
"Berekov, it seems that your girl has something in mind." Yerentina guessed, "I guess I think I remembered your past." ”
"Yes, my Bessica and Natasha's backgrounds are very similar. So you get the idea. ”
"Of course I know, a woman's instincts. It's you, now that you know the background of these two girls, you have to care more about them. I actually know that your motives, such as transferring Natasha to the guard company, were intentional on your part. Berekov, you are a nice man, and now you are almost going to play the role of their brother or father. ”
Yang Mingzhi nodded, "You guessed very right." He turned his head to look at the Natasha siblings: "Natasha, Kostya." Your siblings no longer have parents to rely on each other, and I, Berekov, am the one who saved you, and I think I should continue to be responsible. You can call me brother or uncle, or just call me sir, I don't mind.
In the future, the two of you will get along with Sister Besica, and in the future, in the war, you will cooperate like sisters,"
The two girls nodded, and dinner continued.
