Lin Tong made an appointment with Wu Wenhua to go shopping in the afternoon, saying that he would have to wait for furniture in the morning.

Wu Wenhua's family depends on the salary of a man alone, and she will go out to do odd jobs herself, and the burden at home is heavy, I heard that she made new furniture like the Zhao family, and she was very envious, "I don't know, when will the two of us have a decent set of furniture." ”

Lin Tong smiled: "There will always be, don't worry, isn't the life much better now than before?" ”

Wu Wenhua said with a smile: "That's right, I really couldn't eat and drink before." Her voice changed, "Then I'll come to my sister-in-law in the afternoon, I still have some work at home, and I'm going back to finish it." ”

Lin Tong stuffed the oil bottle back into her hand, Wu Wenhua was anxious, how could she take it away?

Lin Tong pushed her for a long time, and when she saw that she was sincere, she was embarrassed to accept it, but she grabbed her and cut a small piece of bacon hanging from the kitchen window for her to take away.

Wu Wenhua waved his hand and refused to ask for it, Lin Tong said: "Do you want it, I can't ask for this soybean oil, you can take it!" ”

Wu Wenhua said embarrassedly: "This meat is much more expensive than oil, sister-in-law, you are like this, what will I harvest it for?" ”

When she arrived, she confiscated the meat as well.

Lin Tong thought for a while and beckoned Xu Nian, "You go and send it to that lady." ”

Xu Nian came back empty-handed after a while, pointing to the bulging pocket of his clothes, "Mom, the eldest mother gave it, pine nuts and hazelnuts." ”

Lin Tong said: "You take it out, your little tooth, if it is broken again, when you have time, your mother will use pliers to help you open it and eat it." ”

Xu Nian took out the pine nuts and hazelnuts and put them on the table, Lin Tong tore a few pieces of paper, folded a small square box and put it in, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Nian secretly filling a lot of sugar into his pocket, like a thief, and sneaking out with candy.

Lin Tong thought about it, followed him quietly, stood in the yard and looked out, and saw Xu Nian playing with four or five boys, playing and wrestling, not at all like he did on the grassland when he was a child, chasing other children and calling "brother", but a little like a child's head, that every move was a little bully.

Lin Tong looked straight and had a toothache, her lovely son, gone forever.

The furniture was delivered, Lin Tong looked at the three doors with great satisfaction, the middle door was a large wardrobe with a dressing mirror, this thing is rare in this era, it seems that the conditions of the Zhao family are very good.

In addition to the large wardrobe, there is also a kang cabinet with clothes on top and below, a large round dining table and several wooden stools painted with red lacquer.

In this way, the house is much more beautiful, and it looks like a breath of life and a sense of home.

Xu Nian also ran back to see the excitement, looking at the big wardrobe in the east house, he liked to come forward and touch it again, "Mom, let's make a big wardrobe like this in the west house!" ”

The Westinghouse was still empty, Lin Tong thought about it and asked the master if he could make a set of writing desks and bring a separate bookcase.

The master hadn't done any of this, and he hadn't heard that anyone had a bookcase, so Lin Tong simply drew a rough outline for him, "That's it, the bottom is the same as the cabinet, and books can be placed on it." ”

The master said: "What can be done is what can be done, but if it is carved, it must be slow, you and I am in a hurry, there is no time now, and I can't catch it out in ten days and eight days." ”

Lin Tong said: "It's okay, we're not in a hurry." ”

After saying okay, she paid the subscription money, the master left, and the neighbor next to her came to see her, "Sister-in-law, you are too sincere, you don't have to pay the subscription money at all." ”

Lin Tong smiled: "It's okay, pay it early and pay it late, this master's craftsmanship is very good." ”

The little daughter-in-law next to her is also surnamed Lin, and she has the same surname, called Lin Xiuli, and said to her: "Maybe we were a family five hundred years ago!" ”

Lin Tong saw that she was talking interestingly, so he said a few more words to her, the little daughter-in-law just got married last year and came with the army, she grabbed a handful of pine nuts in the small box, and said while snorting: "I regretted this broken place as soon as I came, how can my hometown be good!" ”

Lin Tong frowned slightly, took an empty box and motioned for her to put the garbage in, and said with a faint smile: "The border is still very good, and now it is still preparing for war, and if you look at it in a few years, it will be no worse than developed places." ”

The little daughter-in-law is a junior high school graduate, Lin Tong asked her if she had a job, and she said depressedly: "We have a group here, how can there be any positions for us!" Except for the local area, there is basically nothing to do. It's local, and it has to be capable at home, like Sister-in-law Cui, who can only do odd jobs! ”

Lin Tong chatted with her for a few words, and when she saw that her eyes couldn't stop looking at the piece of bacon in the kitchen, she deduced that she was going to clean up the house and talk to her another day.

Lin Xiuli was surprised: "Your house is so clean, what are you going to clean up?" ”

Lin Tong pointed to the furniture that had just been sent over and the dirty floor that had been trampled, "This has to be wiped off!" ”

There are no extra slippers at home, I forgot to buy this mail, and now that there is a floor in the house, you can take off your shoes and enter the house, so that the house can be cleaner.

Thinking so, I wrote slippers on that piece of paper again.

Lin Xiuli saw that she began to wipe it on, and she didn't leave, standing in the kitchen, her face full of surprise, "Sister-in-law, you just came, why do you have so many things at home?" ”

"Oh, I mailed it in advance."

"Sister-in-law, you are so smart, why didn't I think of it at the beginning! However, so many things are mailed, and the postage will be a lot! Lin Xiuli looked around with some reluctance, pointing to the ugly-looking bacon, "Sister-in-law, why are you like this?" Isn't it broken? You can't eat bad meat, you have to make a stomach when you eat it, I still have a small piece of fat at home, I'll bring it to you later! ”

I don't know if what she said about bringing meat is true or not, but Lin Tong still expressed his gratitude and explained, "This is bacon, the practice of the south." ”

Lin Xiuli stared at the meat with a surprised expression, "Ouch, I haven't eaten this thing, is this meat still delicious?" "I almost didn't say you would give you a taste!

Lin Tong said helplessly, "I'll steam it in the evening and cut a few slices for you to taste." ”

Lin Xiuli achieved her goal and smiled brilliantly, "How embarrassing is this, thank you sister-in-law." ”

Lin Tong shook his head amusedly, "No thanks, I don't have much, just give everyone a taste of freshness." ”

There is no custom of curing bacon in the local area, many people have never heard of it, but some people will marinate pork into bacon and eat it slowly, but this is also a minority, and most people can't eat meat several times a year.

Lin Xiuli returned home satisfied, Lin Tong smiled bitterly at the bacon hanging on the north window of the kitchen, I was afraid that it would be difficult to buy meat here, and I thought about occasionally making a tooth sacrifice, but I didn't expect that I would be remembered for only one day.

It seems that you have to nail the slab shed in the yard and clean it up, and some people who are not good will still be put in the slab shed.

At noon, Xiao Zhao came over and invited Lin Tong and Xiao Nian to the cafeteria.

"Sister-in-law, please wait a while, I called Sister-in-law Zhang along the way."

Lin Tong and Xiao Nian are both wearing coats, which are all made in the capital, thick woolen fabric, Xiao Nian's just covers the buttocks, Lin Tong's is up to the calves, and there is a belt in the middle, even if it is worn after more than ten years, it will not be outdated.

The spring on the border was freezing, Lin Tong felt fortunate that she was wearing a thick red sweater, which was knitted by Zhang Yonghua, and she regretted that she didn't learn to knit a sweater with her.

No one wears anything in the countryside, how expensive sweaters are, and there were almost no knitted sweaters in his previous life, so Lin Tong didn't know how to knit wool.

The clothes Lin Tong wore when she returned to her hometown were all suitable for her hometown, even if she was new, it would not be too outrageous, but when she came to the army, she didn't want to wronged herself anymore, she was twenty-one years old this year, how many twenty-one years old could she have in her life?

Sister-in-law Zhang hugged Erbao, Dani followed behind timidly, and when she saw Lin Tong, she was busy laughing: "Look, I didn't know yesterday, you are the daughter-in-law of the head of the regiment, and you didn't pay attention to what you said, don't go to your heart!" ”

Lin Tong smiled, "It's okay, thank you for the pancakes in the morning!" ”

Seeing that she was so easy to speak, Sister-in-law Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, "If you are willing to eat, I still have it, and I will get you some tomorrow." ”

"No, no, that's all there is to eat." Lin Tong didn't want to say more to her, so he nodded at Xiao Zhao, "Let's go, don't let them wait longer." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang followed behind her, looked at the clothes of the two with envy, looked down at her gray gown, her daughter's half-flowered gown and still patched pants, and felt very uncomfortable, thinking why is this head of the regiment so rich? Is it any wonder that men say they have a background?

Not only Sister-in-law Zhang thought so, but also many company commanders and battalion commanders in the canteen.

Xu Zhenhua looked at those eyes that were either surprised, jealous or envious, extremely proud, this is his wife and children!

"My sister-in-law looks like a city person, and no one believes this kind of bearing, if you say it's not a big city, no one believes it." Deputy Head Zhao asked tentatively.

Lin Tong smiled, "You have won the award, I am not a big city person, I am a rural person, but I have only been in the capital for a year." ”

No one believed that.

What kind of rural people are like, just look at Sister-in-law Zhang next to you.

But no one is stupid enough to say it.

After eating a meal, you can see that everyone has their own thoughts.

Lin Tong only takes care of his son, and although the two eat a lot, it is pleasing to the eye. Looking at Sister-in-law Zhang's mother and son again, gobbling them up, Camp Commander Zhang frowned, feeling that his wife had embarrassed him.

After eating, Xu Zhenhua sent the two back.

Deputy Head Zhao laughed, "It's really good to see the relationship between Xu Tuan and his wife, and you still need to send it for such a long way?" ”

Camp Commander Cui said with a smile: "It is estimated that Xu Tuan wants to go back to see the furniture, and I heard that the furniture ordered was delivered in the morning." ”

Deputy Head Zhao sneered in his heart, didn't he just change houses with you? As for such a stutter?

Battalion Commander Cui and Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao are about the same age, and they were competing for the position of deputy regiment commander at the same time, but unfortunately, Battalion Commander Cui has no background, and Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao's father-in-law's family is an official in the town, and it is said that someone in the family is in Jiangcheng and has something to do with a certain head of the military region, so the position of deputy regiment commander was given to Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao.

The two of them used to often stop talking, but now that a regiment commander was parachuted in, Battalion Commander Cui quickly stood in line, which made Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao very unhappy.
