Chapter 128: Homely Routine (Three Watches for the First Order)
After looking at the time, it was already eleven o'clock, Lin Ning didn't go to the bedroom, and went directly to the kitchen with the spinach at hand, and washed the spinach sent by Yang Ailing, Lin Ning steamed rice at noon, made a spinach egg drop soup, fried an onion, fried a vinegared cabbage, and made a meat vegetable potato roast meat, one meat, two vegetables and one soup, light and light, just to refresh the stomach that ate too rich and greasy yesterday.
Gu Shaoqiu stepped on the meal and came back, the aroma of the food at the entrance, and the greeting from his daughter-in-law when he heard the greeting from the entry, instantly made Gu Shaoqiu's coldness melt away in an instant, and the warmth was rendered from the bottom of his heart to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Hmm!" Gu Shaoqiu went to the bathroom to clean her hands first, then walked into the kitchen, and helped Lin Ning put the rice and soup she had cooked on the table, and when she saw the spinach soup, Gu Shaoqiu couldn't help asking, "Daughter-in-law, are you going out to go out for a break today?" He is not the machismo who does not touch the spring water with his fingers, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, Gu Shaoqiu, who often goes in and out of the kitchen to help cook, is still very impressed with the situation in the kitchen, he remembers that yesterday's vegetables have run out, and he wanted to fry a green leafy vegetable for his daughter-in-law in the morning, but he didn't see it, and he also wanted to go to the scattering at the foot of the mountain at night to add something to the house.
"No, the dish was sent by Ailing's sister-in-law, and it was grown at home!" Lin Ning took a sentence, put the last dish out of the pot and put it on the plate to Gu Shaoqiu, who was waiting, and said while untying his apron with his clean hands: "It just so happens that you came back these two nights, and if you have time to find some wooden planks to help me nail a low flower stand or an open wooden box, and then get some soil, I want to plant something on the balcony!" The balcony is bare, and a little green can also be pleasing to the eyes! ”
Whether it is flowers and plants, garlic sprouts and vegetables, Lin Ning is not limited to what he has to plant, just to find something for himself to do to pass the time, just with the heating in the house, he can also grow up without fear of freezing! Becoming a real husband and wife, Gu Shaoqiu and Lin Ning still have a lot of subtle changes, they are more comfortable like a family, less extra politeness, they begin to move towards the natural transformation of the old husband and wife, this kind of nature is also the default change of Gu Shaoqiu and Lin Ning.
"Okay, I'll be back early if it's okay in the afternoon!" Gu Shaoqiu nodded without any hesitation, his daughter-in-law is such a simple ball, how can he have a reason to excuse himself. "Does my daughter-in-law want a flower pot? There is a villager at the foot of the mountain who will burn flower pots and clay pots and the like, so I'll bring a few by the way when I come back in the afternoon! ”
"It's okay, you look at the addition, you don't need too much!" The balcony space is limited, and it can't be opened if there is more, so it's good to have an appropriate amount and save waste. Although he has now become an income-generator, Lin Ning does not talk about frugality, nor does he intend to be extravagant and wasteful. She didn't plan to raise any precious flowers and plants, and there weren't many things that could be planted in winter, Lin Ning felt that the most likely thing for her was to plant some garlic and shallots to facilitate a fresh cooking pot, although there was no mood, but it was practical enough. Therefore, Lin Ning is not picky about the style of the flower pot, as long as it can be filled with soil.
"Hmm!" Gu Shaoqiu wrote down, in fact, the daughter-in-law can ask for a higher one, and it doesn't cost him to ask someone to go to the city to buy some potted plants and send them over. "Is my daughter-in-law better?"
“··· In fact, you can choose to skip such a shy topic! ”···
"Then daughter-in-law, what are you doing at home in the morning? Have you eaten breakfast and rested? Obviously, a certain man who listened to his daughter-in-law's words made a change very well.
"Drying the quilt and writing and talking to Ailing's sister-in-law..."
Coming and going, while eating, the novice couple has a sentence to say over and over again, without thinking about food and sleep, the conversation at the dinner table is also one of the ways for the couple to do things to do by default to cultivate to exchange feelings, the exchange of speaking is always a good way to understand each other intuitively, the couple has a harmonious relationship, and the pulse between them is warm, and it is more homely and warm.
The winter days are short, under the persuasion of Comrade Gu, who felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, Lin Ning, who took a nap, continued to write some manuscripts in the afternoon, looked at the sun in the west, and by the way, he put in the quilt and dried underwear, and estimated that Gu Shaoqiu should come back from work, Lin Ning went to the kitchen to boil the porridge first, and soaked some fungus vermicelli dried mushrooms and other dry goods. Yesterday, there was still a little crispy meat left to fry together in the oil pot, and I happened to accompany the radish Jinhua ham to make an iron pot stew in the evening.
Thinking of the little crispy meat, Lin Ning counted the time, tomorrow is the New Year, and the New Year is about to be, this year is the first year that she and Gu Shaoqiu have walked hand in hand, Lin Ning still wants to prepare some New Year's goods according to the convention, Songsong Neighborhood, keep some for yourself to eat after the New Year, fried goods are indispensable!
As a person who eats this bowl of rice more than once by writing as a livelihood, Lin Ning is a person who can live quietly at home, she has no yearning for the cold air outside, and the days in the mountains are not difficult for her, arrange something in the morning, arrange something in the afternoon, and let the day pass easily.
"Sister-in-law, I'm Xiao Li, I'll send you something!" After two knocks on the door, a familiar voice interrupted Lin Ning's calculations by reporting the door, Lin Ning hurriedly went to open the door, it was Xiao Li who carried three or four flower pots with two somewhat familiar soldiers.
"Hello sister-in-law!" The two warriors, when they saw Lin Ning looking at him, reflexively greeted him. With Gu Shaoqiu's majesty, even if Lin Ning looked at his face, these two consistent thorn-headed soldier kings did not have any perfunctory place. The sister-in-law who can convince the Great Demon King is definitely not an ordinary person.
"You guys, please come in!" Lin Ning paused for a moment, with a good memory, she remembered that she should have seen these two people at the gate of the camp just two days ago, and Shaoqiu also punished them for running twenty laps at that time. At that time, Shaoqiu was not angry, those hippie smiling warriors cried wolf, and Lin Ning didn't hear any fear, worthy of their reputation as the king of thorny soldiers. "What about Shaoqiu?"
"Today's training, the deputy regiment temporarily pulled the regiment commander to report on today's task status, let me send these flower pots to you first!" Xiao Li explained seriously with a glance, their head of the regiment said that his whereabouts did not need to be hidden from his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, where do you put the flower pot?" ”
"It's good to be separated by a wall, I'm sorry for you!" Lin Ning led the way, led the people to the door, and thanked for the arrangement.
"Sister-in-law, you're welcome!" Xiao Li touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "When the head of the regiment is busy, it is when I am free, and my sister-in-law can call me if she has something!" "He is the head of the regiment's guard, he can't help the head of the regiment with too many things, and it's good to help his sister-in-law!
