Chapter 816: Is It Fair?
"Don't move, don't move! Today, you will be a young grandmother, and I will serve you as a long-term worker. ”
Today, in the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, early in the morning, Zhang Qingshan happily lay on Xiang Xueqin's bulging belly, listening to the heartbeat of the fetus, and his mouth was cracked with laughter.
The pregnant woman is already weak, and it is rare that Zhang Qingshan can accompany herself at home for a day today, Xiang Xueqin opened her eyes and saw Zhang Qingshan like this, she was too lazy to move, and he was happy.
After half an hour, Xiang Xueqin felt that it was almost over, so she wanted to get up, and Zhang Qingshan hurriedly stopped her.
Immediately, Zhang Qingshan got dressed and got out of bed, and went to boil water first.
Then put the homemade charcoal into the basin, and when he felt the warmth in the house, he waited for Xiang Xueqin to wash, and carefully helped Xiang Xueqin to sit down on a big chair, and then washed himself and began to make a fire to cook...... Zhang Qingshan, as the head of the regiment, has been busy with official business all the time, and it is rare to rest today, and he is ashamed in his heart, so he is naturally attentive to his service. And Xiang Xueqin also rarely enjoyed Zhang Qingshan's service, so naturally she had nothing to say, so she just smiled and watched Zhang Qingshan busy before and after.
After breakfast, Zhang Qingshan was very good and began to wash the dishes again, chatting with Xiang Xueqin by the way, enjoying the world of the two.
"Ha, sister, brother-in-law, I know that you haven't left yet, and my sisters and I have come to pay you New Year's greetings. ”
I saw Qin Fang with two sisters, pushing the door and smiling and walking in, rubbing his hands.
"Come and roast the fire!" Zhang Qingshan hurriedly took the tongs, put a few more coals from the stove hole and put them in the brazier, and said with a smile: "I know that you are cold, no, I have already prepared the coals for you." ”
Immediately, Zhang Qingshan hurriedly took out melon seeds and peanuts and served them on a plate. Then he grabbed melon seeds for them and said with a smile: "Don't be polite when you go to your brother-in-law's house, pretend hard!"
Qin Fang and the three of them were not polite, everyone took a handful in their hands, and then put back more than half of them, and finally, the three of them looked at each other while eating melon seeds, and they didn't speak, they just laughed, looking mysterious.
"The three little sparrows are chattering endlessly on weekdays, what's going on today?" Zhang Qingshan sat down with a smile when he saw the three of them like this.
Who knows, as soon as the tongs in his hand were not placed on the brazier, he saw three small hands stretched out in front of him.
"Do what?"
"We came to pay tribute to my brother-in-law's early years!"
"Yes, brother-in-law, you don't even know this, do you?" Qin Fang is relatively old among the nurses in the headquarters hospital. After Sister Lian died, she took Sister Lian's place. Later, because of Zhang Qingshan's family relationship and the organization's consideration that the assault regiment really needs experienced nurses to lead the team, Qin Fang was transferred to the assault regiment as the deputy captain of the medical team and the captain of the nurse team. Although she didn't go to work much because she was pregnant, her qualifications and position were there, so the entire medical team of the assault regiment called her Sister Xiang, and Zhang Qingshan naturally became her brother-in-law.
The other two said relatively subtlely, but Qin Fang was not polite at all, and directly urged: "Brother-in-law, hurry up, press the New Year's money." ”
Zhang Qingshan subconsciously touched his pocket, but as soon as his hand touched the edge of the pocket, he shrank back and said with a smile: "Today is only the Chinese New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the first day of the new year, how can you give money in advance?"
The other two immediately pouted and didn't speak, but Qin Fang said in a huff: "Brother-in-law, this is what you said, you wait, I will bring all my sisters to give you New Year's greetings before dawn tomorrow, and when the time comes, I will see if you have anything else to say." ”
Zhang Qingshan smiled and said, "I am now a poor person for the New Year - one day at a time!"
Xiang Xueqin on the side shook her head with a smile, pointed to the low cabinet on the side, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Xiaofang, I specially hid some oranges in that cabinet, you eat some, and take the rest back to share with the sisters, which can be regarded as giving everyone New Year's money." ”
There are not many oranges in this area, and even if they do, most of them are from rich families, and even if they have them, they can't afford to eat them, and most of them are taken out for daily necessities. What's more, after the little devils came in, they looted hard, and the local prices were already very high, and the poor people felt a lot of pressure even if they wanted to buy a few to try during the New Year...... To put it mildly, many people can't even eat enough, so where do they have the spare money to buy these?
Although the assault regiment is much richer than before, it is all public property, and neither Hu Yingze nor Zhang Qingshan has the right to turn public things into private ones.
Although Zhang Qingshan and Xiang Xueqin also have a monthly subsidy because of their position and their status as a pregnant woman, the subsidy is not much. Coupled with expenses such as Zhang Qingshan's smoking, he is basically a moonlight clan every month. Just this bag of about fifteen catties of oranges, I still used it frugally to Xueqin, and I saved it for three months, just right.
To put it bluntly, oranges, whether for the assault regiment or the poor people, are now high-end items, and they are reluctant to buy them, and they can't afford to buy much. It can definitely be given as a gift...... Two oranges are enough to be a lot of money.
Especially for foodies like Qin Fang, oranges are definitely a rarity, and they can only be salivated and dried when they go to the town.
No, as soon as I heard that there were so many oranges, Qin Fang and the other two sisters of the same age didn't care about the image of a lady at all-it seems that Qin Fang didn't have any image of a lady in front of Zhang Qingshan and Xiang Xueqin, but only the image of a foodie. Immediately shouted and rushed over.
After opening the cabinet and seeing the cloth bag containing oranges, after opening the cloth bag and seeing all the golden oranges, the three of them immediately let out a cheering shout at the same time, and immediately grabbed an orange for each person, and immediately peeled it off, regardless of sweet and sour, half of a bite is absolute......
Seeing the three little girls so disregarding their image, Zhang Qingshan smiled and smoked, but secretly swore in his heart: After defeating the little devils, Lao Tzu must invite the commanders and fighters of the whole regiment to eat five catties of oranges each and celebrate happily.
After each of the three little girls quickly finished eating an orange, they remembered that they hadn't handed one to Zhang Qingshan, the master.
hurriedly carried the cloth bag to Zhang Qingshan and Xiang Xueqin.
Qin Fang also deliberately picked out the two largest oranges and handed them to them respectively: "Sister, brother-in-law, come, give each of you the largest orange, I wish you good health, and welcome the birth of the little one with a happy circle." ”
Zhang Qingshan took the orange and put it aside, but quickly helped Xiang Xueqin peel one, and said with a smile: "Xueqin, you can taste it too." ”
Xiang Xueqin shook his head and said, "I'll eat later." ”
Zhang Qingshan knew that Xiang Xueqin used to love oranges, but now it is not that she doesn't want to eat them, but she is economical.
But before Zhang Qingshan could speak, Qin Fang on the side gave each of the two sisters an orange, and said to Xiang Xueqin: "Sister, this orange is sweet, you can eat one, otherwise, don't say that my brother-in-law can't let go of face, even we are embarrassed to eat it again." ”
When the other two nurses who were about to peel oranges heard this, they hurried to help.
Xiang Xueqin ate half an orange just now, so she made an excuse and said that she really didn't want to eat it, so she would eat it later.
Zhang Qingshan looked at Xiang Xueqin's somewhat evasive eyes, and then looked at Qin Fang's three 'fierce' eating appearances, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart: these little girls came to be soldiers, fight devils, protect their families and defend the country, and carried the wounded down on the battlefield in the rain of bullets...... On the other hand, some people, fish and flesh, not to mention the prestige and blessing, even give the little devil as a dog to help the abuse...... Is it fair?
"Brother-in-law, what are you thinking?"
"Nothing, nothing!"
"Nothing?" Qin Fang looked at the half-peeled orange in his hand, and asked suspiciously: "You don't eat such a big orange, and you say that you don't enjoy anything?" I can tell you, such a big orange must be very sweet, and besides, there is a lot of water......
Zhang Qingshan directly handed the half orange in his hand to Qin Fang.
Sure enough, Qin Fang immediately stopped nagging, and directly peeled off the half of the orange and shared it with the other two sisters.
However, after waiting for half an orange to be eaten, Zhang Qingshan was keenly sent: Although the three girls began to eat melon seeds, their eyes still aimed at the cloth bag containing the oranges from time to time, obviously, they had not yet enjoyed it. It's just that for some reason, the three of them endured it stubbornly.
Zhang Qingshan asked with a smile, "Have you eaten all the oranges?"
"Uh-huh! ”
After the three of them nodded in unison, they looked at each other again and laughed.
Zhang Qingshan was very good-natured and grabbed three oranges from the cloth bag and wanted to distribute them to the three of them.
Unknowingly, the three of them shook their hands at the same time.
Immediately, no matter how Zhang Qingshan persuaded them, the three of them just didn't eat oranges, even if they swallowed saliva when they looked at oranges.
"Eat! There's a lot more, you're welcome. ”
Qin Fang saw that it was postponed, so she had to tell the truth: "Brother-in-law, although we all know that you care about our medical team, and this bag of oranges was given to us by you and your sister, but we have so many people in the medical care and so many wounded and sick, although there are many oranges in such a bag, but if it is evenly divided, I am afraid that it will be one person at most...... The two of them and I really couldn't hold back just now, so we ate more, and we were already a little embarrassed, so don't persuade them anymore, otherwise we will all be embarrassed to stay. ”
"Yes, brother-in-law, this thing is expensive, and I am already very satisfied with eating two, but I can't eat it anymore, otherwise, how can I be worthy of other comrades and the wounded and sick?"
Zhang Qingshan was very moved in his heart: what a good comrade, what a good comrade-in-arms, but he is so ...... Hey~!, the regiment commander, is incompetent - although he is now the instructor of the assault company, whether it is in Zhang Qingshan's own heart or in the hearts of other comrades, he Zhang Qingshan is still the commander of the assault regiment.
"Okay! Your ideological consciousness is so high, I won't talk about it...... If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, then eat more melon seeds and peanuts, come, all pretend. As he spoke, Zhang Qingshan gave each of them a large handful of peanuts and melon seeds, and forced them to fill their pockets with their clothes.
In this way, the atmosphere is lively again.
After everyone chatted for a while, Qin Fang and the three of them said goodbye.
It's just that on the issue of oranges, Qin Fang and the three of them wanted to leave some for Zhang Qingshan and the others, Zhang Qingshan naturally disagreed, and in the end, he reluctantly left six.
Looking at the backs of the three of them happily leaving, Zhang Qingshan sighed and muttered, "Oranges see people's hearts!"
Xiang Xueqin also smiled: "They are all good comrades, good soldiers, you should be proud!"
Zhang Qingshan nodded and didn't say anything......
