CHAPTER XX: Tucker Base 20
CHAPTER XX: Tucker Base 20
With fear and anxiety about the future, Li Jie, who was tossing and turning, finally didn't know when and fell asleep deeply.
Early the next morning, the sound of Ma Xiaodong closing the door when he came back from dinner woke Li Jie up.
"Chief, it's time to eat!" The food in Ma Xiaodong's hand was taken over by Zeng Pei and neatly placed on the dining table, while he smiled and dwelt under Li Jie's nose.
Several young guards clearly knew that Li Jie had no experience in the army, and using the army's set would make the leader's family uncomfortable, so when they were at home, they were relatively relaxed, and for themselves, it was actually more comfortable.
No one can be tense all the time, not even the military.
And among these four people, Ma Xiaodong is the one with the most active personality, in other words, he is the one who is the least big or small with Li Jie, and he dares to joke with Li Jie often.
Li Jie sighed helplessly: "Come on, cut it and eat it, early in the morning, you really have a good appetite!" ”
"Yes!"
Ma Xiaodong's eyes lit up, a standard salute, and then ran to the refrigerator, took out half of the watermelon, cut it simply, and a few people went to the tooth sacrifice.
Watermelon, except for the little bit cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, is not seen on the market in the entire Tucker base.
This half of the watermelon was left over from yesterday's eating, Ma Xiaodong's careful thinking has been here, how could Li Jie not know.
shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly twice, and sighed secretly in his heart: If my buddy continues to flee the famine, I don't know how many times you can eat this watermelon......
After eating, the guards should rest, and the guards should stand guard, Li Jie hesitated, tonight, it was the time to make an appointment with the so-called Xiao Wenxing, what to do, he still didn't decide in his heart.
In the end, Li Jie gritted his teeth and simply called the whole family together to discuss how to deal with this matter.
In normal times, Li Jie always wonders why the protagonist always makes decisions for everyone, as if these people are stupid, and now he plans to see what his parents think, and their life experiences, maybe he can help.
went to his parents' house, his father Li Jianguo was playing a stand-alone game of digging holes on a computer, and his mother Xie Xiaoli was feeding Xiao Chen Xi water on the side.
According to Li Jie's observation during this time, in Tucker City, ordinary people do not have it, and it is rare to buy it, especially desktop computers. In fact, not only computers, but also refrigerators are not available at home.
These modern electrical appliances are only available in the homes of high-ranking military and political officials.
The first is that the number is really limited, and the second is that the nuclear power plant in Tucker City is under construction and has not yet been put into use, and the current photovoltaic power generation cannot withstand such a large amount of electricity consumption.
Getting back to the point, thinking that once he leaves here, he will say goodbye to these modern living tools again, and he will have to return to the state of life where everything must be done again, Li Jie's heart is uncomfortable again.
sent the inexplicable Zeng Pei to call Zeng Aiguo and Han Caixia as well, and the family finally arrived.
At this time, everyone understood that Li Jie might have something to say.
Sure enough, Li Jie didn't sell anything, and described the matter in a few simple words.
From visiting the night market at night and meeting the so-called "junior high school classmate" Xiao Wenxing, to the news brought by Wang Kai yesterday, all of them were said.
After listening to Li Jie's words, the family was a little stunned, radioactive materials quietly polluted the water source?
Thinking of a series of problems caused by the leakage of the nuclear power station in the country a few days ago, Xie Xiaoli was a little numb, and at that time, she ran all over the supermarket to buy salt!
The two old ladies were nervous, Zeng Aiguo was silent and didn't say a word, and Li Jianguo's reaction was completely unexpected by Li Jie.
I saw that he took out a cigarette from his pocket - this thing was brought by Ma Xiaodong and claimed to be filial to Uncle Li - he didn't light it, because Xiao Chen Xi was there, he held the cigarette in his hand, and then reluctantly put it back, not taking Li Jie's words to heart at all.
"Dad!" Li Jie said dissatisfied, meaning to ask for attention.
"Come on, big. You say you're such an adult, you don't have any opinions, huh? Li Jianguo was a little impatient, mixed with some dissatisfaction and said to Li Jie.
"I... I didn't think about it, staying here, the water source is polluted, and millions of people have a problem with drinking water, and this Tucker City will be yellow! When the time comes, I will become Tang monk meat, and those who have a little strength want to bite me; If you don't stay here......
Li Jie was about to say that he might have to continue wandering, but Li Jianguo interrupted Li Jie very dissatisfied: "Okay, okay!" That's all you have to offer! ”
Seeing that Li Jianguo had a tendency to get angry, Xie Xiaoli was unhappy, and glared at Li Jianguo suddenly: "At this time, you have to train him to do something, can you talk well!" ”
"You... Hum! Li Jianguo's rare majesty as a father, he was a little unhappy to be demolished by his wife like this, but he could only snort, and then glanced at Li Jie: "If you don't stay here, where are you going?" Yes? Keep running around outside? Alright, I'm going to let you give me a grandchild! How can you run outside? ”
Li Jie was dumbfounded, this building is crooked too fast!
"What's the matter, there's something wrong with what I'm talking about? Pepe is 30 years old, you don't want children anymore? If you're pregnant, you can't mess up your prenatal checkup, and you can't make up for nutrition well, ah? I'm scared outside every day, my grandson is in good health, what should you do? Well? ”
Li Jie was a little embarrassed for a while, but without waiting for him to speak, Li Jianguo continued to chatter: "Don't think about one out is one out, stay here in peace, what's wrong with the water pollution, is there a shortage of water supply?" People supply water normally, do you manage people's homes filtered or falling from the sky, there is! This shows that people and countries can solve it, what kind of hero are you? Return the Tang monk meat ......"
“……”
"Besides, even in the end, if it really doesn't work, there is a way! No one knows about your new skills, huh...... It's never too late to find a chance! Now it's crooked, I'll tell you, cooperate with the country, find a way to get through this, and then honestly give us grandchildren......"
"Wow~Wow~Wow~~~~" A baby's cry interrupted Li Jianguo's words, but it was Xiao Chen Xi who woke up and opened his eyes to see a room of people, although they all knew each other, they still wanted to cry!
If you want to cry, cry, who can do this baby?
"Oops! Why are you crying, don't cry, don't cry, grandpa hug, oops! Obediently, hurry up, you can't drink water, hurry up and make milk! Hurry up and make milk! Li Jianguo hurriedly picked up the tip of his heart and sent Xie Xiaoli to wash the milk.
"It's coming, it's coming! Son, listen to your father...... In-laws, hot water, hot water! ”
"Hey, it's coming! Lao Zeng, go and bring hot and cold boiled water, I'll wash the bottle! ”
……
Li Jie watched speechlessly as the family began to work around Xiao Chen Xi, a little dizzy.
Such a big deal, you guys are reacting like this?
But for some reason, the knots that he couldn't untie in his heart, the haze that shrouded his heart for two days, just disappeared.
"So, Dad, I'm not going tonight?" Li Jie was still unwilling and planned to struggle.
"You stupid! Go, go and ask, see what that guy means, and find out how he knows you have this special ability! Oh! Oh! Don't cry, don't cry! Li Jianguo said casually and continued to coax the baby.
"And then?" Li Jie is puzzled, you come to talk and finish! What if you ask, there must be someone up there!
"Are you stupid, probing to the bottom, and taking advantage of it if it's cheap, if you don't have a cheap, your guards are eating dry food!? He knows your secret, so you can't make sure you don't chew your tongue and catch him! Li Jianguo looked indisputable.
Forehead!?
Li Jie was a little dumbfounded!
The black-bellied man in front of him, this has to be his honest father all his life? The old man who was eaten to death by his mother?
Didn't it get dropped, right??
……
"Xiao Wang is interesting enough to you, take care of it more!"
After the last sentence, Li Jianguo completely gave up on Li Jie and served Xiao Chen Xi wholeheartedly.
……
Returning to his room alone, Li Jie fell into deep thought.
His father's words undoubtedly made Li Jie jump out of the strange circle he drew for himself: it seems that the whole world is coveting his ability and intends to oppose him, and once he finds that something is wrong, he wants to flee quickly.
In that case, let's really settle down and blend in as much as possible.
Well, then, take Ma Xiaodong and Cao Siyuan to meet this so-called junior high school classmate at night and see what kind of fairy he is!
With an idea and a decision, Li Jie's heart suddenly settled down, and he suddenly felt that he was a little greedy, and he really wanted to eat some Western food or something!
This person, as soon as he let go of the things in his heart, his appetite is much better!
In the Minecraft game, you can catch several different fish with a fishing rod, such as clownfish, raw fish, raw salmon, and pufferfish.
Li Jie happily extracted two salmon from his mobile phone. After thinking about it, he took out another watermelon and called Cao Siyuan as a coolie to help hold the big watermelon, while Li Jie himself carried two salmon more than half a meter long and went out.
When he left the house, the hot air outside made Li Jie uncomfortable for a while, and it was almost May, and it became this virtue.
The canteen is not far away, and it takes less than 5 minutes to walk, just this 5-minute walk, Li Jie sweated, and secretly made up his mind to lose weight when he had time.
When he arrived at the door of the canteen, Li Jie whispered to Cao Siyuan: "The master in the canteen is familiar with you, or is he good at craftsmanship?" Give me this salmon dish and give him a watermelon as a hard worker! ”
When Cao Siyuan heard this, he knew what Li Jie was going to do, his face was immediately full of uneasiness, and he hurriedly shook his head: "Chief, this is not good, it is difficult for you to explain these things, in case it ......"
Li Jie's face sank: "What if!" I have a sense of proportion, you just tell me who is good at work! ”
"Well, of course it has to be Lao Yuan!" Cao Siyuan hesitated, but still compromised, and honestly told everything he knew.
Lao Yuan is the chef of the canteen, and he usually looks like it's okay, but before he retired from the army, he was on the non-commissioned officer stove in the cooking class, but he was in the top spot!
When the leaders above came to inspect the work, they didn't arrange it outside, but let Lao Yuan take charge of the spoon, and his cooking skills conquered the taste buds of many leaders!
Now, he specializes in cooking for the leaders and their families in the No. 1 compound, but he suffers from the lack of raw materials, and he can't see his cooking skills.
"Gotcha! That's him! When Li Jie heard this, he didn't say a word, so he asked Cao Siyuan to introduce him.
Between morning and noon, the cafeteria in Compound No. 1 is very busy.
Breakfast is easy to solve, the ingredients for lunch and dinner must be prepared, and the whole kitchen is busy making a piece.
Cao Siyuan was familiar with the road, there was no one in front of him, so he went directly to the back kitchen, and shouted to Lao Yuan, who was sitting on the side of the old god and slowly baking something in the oven: "Old Yuan! Come! Our chief has something to do with you! ”
Lao Yuan looked back and saw that it was Cao Siyuan, and was slightly stunned, this acquaintance is knowing, and he can talk about it if he has nothing to do, but after all, it is not a system, and his personal relationship is average, so it is the first time to take the initiative to come to him.
After hesitating, he told the cook next to him to look at the oven, wiped his hands, and came out of the kitchen.
"Come, Lao Yuan, this is Major General Li Jie Li!" Cao Siyuan took Lao Yuan to Li Jie and introduced him to both parties.
"Hello Chief!" Although Lao Yuan is already retired, he is still cooking in the compound of the military region, and the old man and the old lady here are either retired bosses or the bigwigs' parents, so they naturally put their attitudes very upright.
"Hey, Master Yuan is polite, ask you for help!" Li Jie smiled and continued: "I have two fish here, which are quite fresh, you can help us cook!" ”
"Fish?" Lao Yuan was taken aback when he heard this, this is in the Tucker Desert, where did the fish come from?
What I eat now is all the meat that was stored in the past, which was transported by the military, and there are only beef and mutton, as well as pork, a small amount of poultry, and fish, but there is really no reserve!
What's more, I didn't pay attention just now, only to find out that these two fish wrapped in newspaper were unexpectedly fresh! At a glance, he was even more surprised and cried out: "Salmon? ”
"Hey! You know how to do it! It's salmon, please deal with it, we won't get it! This is not a rare thing to try for the masters in the canteen, quench your thirst! Li Jie said, and Cao Siyuan hurriedly moved the watermelon behind his feet.
"Watermelon!" Lao Yuan's eyes widened even more, looking at Li Jie in disbelief!
"This, this, this is too precious for me to accept!" Lao Yuan waved his hand again and again in fear, watermelon was not worth mentioning in the past, if it wasn't a real acquaintance, he would be embarrassed to send it to someone's house, but now it's different! Even if you take a box of money, you can't buy watermelons! Not to mention such a big one!
"It's okay, eat quietly, don't shoot a gun! Got it? Li Jie blinked and signaled to Lao Yuan's subordinates!
After retreating for a long time, Lao Yuan finally accepted the big watermelon nervously, patted his chest, and swore that he would take care of the fish well and satisfy the chief!
When he was two years old, Li Jie looked at the whole fish banquet on the dinner table, and his saliva flowed down without money......
