Chapter 36: Blind Date
After returning home, Ming Nuan conveyed Zhao Chunhua's words to Chen Guiyun, Chen Guiyun took out the big iron box in her bedside table, counted all kinds of tickets, and asked Ming Nuan: "How many do you have there?" ”
Ming Nuan's space is the safest place, so over the years, most of the money tickets at home have been handed over to Ming Nuan for safekeeping, and some are left for emergency outside, Ming Nuan has taken out all the tickets in the space, and there is no need to buy a lot of food over the years, and the Huo family has saved a lot of things.
Chen Guiyun counted out the stack of bills, put them together with the ones that were originally placed outside, took out a few of the rest, and asked Ming Nuan to put them back, Chen Guiyun gave the prepared bills to Mingyang and asked him to send them tomorrow.
……
After dinner in the evening, Ming Nuan accompanied Chen Guiyun downstairs to take a walk, and downstairs gathered in twos and threes, with men and women, chatting and enjoying the coolness.
"How are you feeling lately? Is the child making a fuss? Sister Zhang saw Chen Guiyun and Ming Nuan coming over and asked.
"It's okay, it's quite honest." Chen Guiyun said, "What did you say just now that it was so lively? ”
"The matter of the spring apricot girl." Li Xiaofeng said.
Li Chunxing since she came last winter, the military sisters-in-law in the compound are very fond of her, she came soon and found that her brother and sister-in-law's family is not well-off, so she asked Ge Xiaohua where to get the matchbox, she said that she wants to subsidize the family, Li Chunxing's hands and feet are extremely numb, the paste is fast and good, and the two nieces can also help, Chen Xiaohong and Li Chunxing have a good relationship, which greatly disappoints many people who want to see the jokes of the sister-in-law.
Li Chunxing came here to find a partner, and now she says it's her business, and there is nothing else besides this matter.
"Which guy is it?" Chen Guiyun asked.
"A platoon commander under Company Commander Luo of the Second Regiment is twenty-five years old, and his hometown is also in Lu Province." Chen Xiaohong said, her mouth couldn't close her smile.
The military compound is a relatively closed environment, many military sisters-in-law's interpersonal relationships are only limited to this courtyard, many people like to introduce their relatives to each other, for a girl like Li Chunxing, finding a young man in the army is the best choice, first, the soldier is more reliable than other people, second, his brother is a small officer in the army, and after marriage, he will not bully her brother and sister-in-law, and third, he can't follow the army now, and he will be qualified to join the army in the future, and live close to his brother and sister-in-law, It's an excellent thing.
"Are you looking at each other?" Wang Hongmei asked.
"It's her brother who mentioned it, and you're all here to help with a treat at my house this weekend." Chen Xiaohong said.
Everyone said that they would definitely help when the time came, Ming Nuan knew that Camp Commander Li would definitely invite a lot of people, including that young man, and secretly let Li Chunxing look at him, Ming Nuan thought it was very interesting, and there were blind dates in later generations, but they were all about a high-end café or restaurant, only two men and women, and she had never seen such a blind date.
In a blink of an eye, on the weekend, Huo Jianguo and Battalion Commander Gao (Li Xiaofeng's husband), Zhang Lian Commander (Wang Hongmei's husband) and Guo Battalion Commander (Zhang's eldest sister's husband) were invited, and several military sisters-in-law who usually have a good relationship needless to say that they all went to Zhang Xiaohong's house to help, rather demolish ten temples and not destroy a marriage This is the traditional thinking of the Chinese, when encountering such a thing, people are happy to help, so some military sisters-in-law will bring something when they go, or melons and vegetables grown in their own fields, or a spoonful of oil, Although Chen Guiyun and Zhang Xiaohong had an unpleasant quarrel before, Chen Guiyun was still very positive about such a good thing, and brought half a chicken over, Zhang Xiaohong watched everyone come over to help and bring things, smiled from ear to ear, and said that people were very grateful to come to help.
Ming Nuan followed Chen Guiyun and came to Chen Xiaohong's house, Chen Guiyun only thought that children loved to be lively, and only told her not to make trouble, Ming Nuan's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
When she came to Li's house, the military sisters-in-law who came early began to do it, and Ming Nuan actively ran over and said, "Aunt Zhang, if you have any tasks to me, I promise to complete the tasks." ”
When the military sisters-in-law heard this, they all laughed, and Zhang Xiaohong said: "Oh, I'm really sensible, Auntie doesn't have any work for you to do." Zhang Xiaohong said that the knife in her hand didn't stop, "You go to play with your sister Xiaoli and sister Xiaolian." ”
Ming Nuan jumped over, the two ladies were washing vegetables and picking vegetables on the balcony, Ming Nuan moved a low stool to sit over, and worked with them.
"Where's Aunt Chunxing?" Ming Nuan didn't see Li Chunxing and asked.
"My sister-in-law is changing her clothes in the house!" Sister Li Xiaoli replied.
"Two days ago, my mother pulled a few feet of Xia Bu for my sister-in-law and cut her clothes, which is beautiful." Xiaolian said with a smile.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Chunxing to come out of the house, and it could be seen that she was specially dressed up today, two thick braids, a short-sleeved top with blue background, black pants, a pair of black cloth shoes with loops, neat and delicate, after this time, she was no longer as shy as when she first came, she took the initiative to greet everyone, and wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but was stopped by everyone, afraid of soiling the new clothes, she was not idle, and cleaned the house carefully.
It was almost dark, Li Changsheng brought a group of people back, Ming Nuan saw a young man with a young eye, wearing a military uniform, flat head, not tall, square face, black and red skin, after coming in, he saw many women in the house, and his black face was red again.
Seeing that the man came, the military wives set their eyes on the only person who was born, even if he was calm, he was embarrassed under the scrutiny of so many people.
Li Chunxing came out of the house, and Zhang Shinian saw at a glance that this should be the object of his own words. With a delicate face, a slender figure, and two big braids, Zhang Shinian took a fancy to her at once, and his eyes were good to look at her, and everyone knew that Zhang Shinian was extremely satisfied with Li Chunxing.
Li Chunxing lowered her head and could feel the burning gaze, she secretly raised her head and glanced at it, a pair of black eyes were staring at herself, and then lowered her head in an instant, and suddenly turned red to her neck.
"Oh, what are you doing standing stupidly, sit down, sit down, it's time to serve." Zhang Xiaohong said with a smile.
The military wives responded with a giggle and went to the kitchen to serve food.
There was a table full of people chatting with each other, the men talking about the training, and the women talking about who made the clothes that looked good.
"Let's try this chicken stewed mushroom, made of spring apricots." Zhang Xiaohong sandwiched a large piece of chicken and put it in Zhang Shinian's bowl and said.
Li Chunxing's face turned red again when she heard this, and she hurriedly lowered her head, and couldn't help but want to see Zhang Shinian's reaction to eating chicken.
Zhang Shinian stuffed the chicken into his mouth, chewed it, chewed it, and swallowed it, and said, "The craftsmanship of the spring apricot girl is really good." Li Chunxing's face couldn't help but turn red again, but the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be hidden.
Ming Nuan also wanted to laugh when she saw it, just now she clearly saw that there were bones in the fast chicken.
"Xiao Zhang, how many people are in your family?" Sister Zhang asked.
"In addition to my father and mother, there are two older brothers in the family, both of whom are married, and a sister who is still young, only thirteen this year." Zhang Shinian put down his chopsticks and replied with his hands on his knees, and it could be seen that he was very nervous now.
There is only one sister in the family who is not married, and the burden is small, but I don't know if the two sisters-in-law get along well, Zhang Xiaohong thought to herself.
"Look at you, nervous about what? Come, come, eat. Chen Guiyun smiled when she saw Zhang Shinian's movements, said, and said to Huo Jianguo: "Look at you, what kind of training have you trained the soldiers under your hands." ”
Everyone asked Zhang Shinian about some of the situation at home, and it can be seen that there is a high probability that this matter will come to fruition, and this meal will be eaten until the treetops on the moon.
……
Qi Junze touched the bruises on the corners of his mouth, spit out a mouthful of blood foam, sure enough, he was targeted a few times after he came here, touched the money ticket in his pocket, and walked forward by moonlight, he did not return to the military compound, but came to the front of a small courtyard, looked left and right, made sure that there was no one nearby, took out the key to open the courtyard door, quickly flashed into the courtyard and closed the door.
When I entered the house and turned on the light, there was only a single bed and a small table, and all that was left were sacks, neatly stacked on one wall.
Qi Junze threw the key on the table, and lay on the bed without taking off his shoes, pillowing his arm, with a self-deprecating smile on his face.
Isn't there any such thing, isn't he used to it? Since a few years ago, he has secretly done some small business with his brothers, first reselling some grain and oil stamps, and then to various industrial coupons, various stamps, and now grain.
This is no better than the capital, he has many friends there, he has a wide range of contacts, everyone will give their four brothers a face, no one here knows who he is Qi Laosi, but he is not afraid, he is confident that he can also break through here.
This was just the beginning, Qi Junze told himself that he must persevere. Thinking of that little girl, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but pull out a smile, accidentally pulled the wound, and touched the corner of her mouth with her hand, I really didn't expect that they would still have this kind of vision.
Today when he stepped on the street, he met a few children picking up waste, but the strange thing is that they picked up waste and picked up, when he heard them say that he didn't know if they would be satisfied, he continued to follow them, slowly he understood through their hearing, it turned out that someone asked them to pick up waste, if there are good things they will spend money to buy them, most of the people who were bought are some books and paintings that look old, and the people who bought things are three little boys and a little girl, in connection with the conversation between Ming Nuan and Ming Yang that I heard last time, What else doesn't he understand?
It's summer vacation, maybe he should spend more time at home, it seems that his aunt likes her very much.
