Chapter 57: The Next Door Neighbors Are Leaders
"Deputy battalion commander, I'll go to the back mountain to chop some firewood, anyway, I have nothing to rest today." After saying that, he took the axe and hemp rope and went to the back mountain.
"It's okay, let him go." Ji Mufeng said to Song Qianqian.
"Okay, I'll give him a pack of beef jerky later." Song Qianqian doesn't want to owe favors.
After packing up the dishes and chopsticks, Song Qianqian went to unpack the package, which was full of nutritional products and letters written by her grandfather.
Ji Mufeng didn't speak after reading it, Song Qianqian sorted out his things, put his luggage in order, played with Xiaohuajuan for a while, and fell asleep after peeing and drinking.
Water was boiling on the coal stove, Song Qianqian took out the hot water kettle, which was still the same one they used before, and then took out four more, cleaned it with water several times inside and out, and went to the supply and marketing cooperatives tomorrow.
Ji Mufeng was sitting in the yard, Song Qianqian was translating books, and Erniu sent two loads of firewood and put them in the yard to dry first.
"Take it, your sister-in-law gave you jerky." Ji Mufeng said to Wang Erniu.
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." After saying that, he took the jerky back to the army.
There is no one in the two houses next door now, Ji Mufeng has never been to the family home, and they all lived in the army's dormitory before.
Song Qianqian heard Wang Erniu leaving, took out a teapot of spiritual spring water, walked out and stuffed it into Ji Mufeng's hand.
"Drink quickly, your body will get better soon." Song Qianqian also glared at the man.
"Daughter-in-law, you are so nice!" Ji Mufeng drank it all in one go, and his body instantly relaxed a lot.
"What do you want to eat at night?" Song Qianqian couldn't help him.
"Whatever, the food you cook is delicious." After Ji Mufeng finished speaking, he was about to pull her into the room.
Song Qianqian asked him to go in first, go to the kitchen to fill the boiling water, re-draw water and put it on the coal stove, and replace it with a briquette to seal it.
Back in the room, Ji Mufeng glanced at his daughter-in-law, and the couple accompanied their son to take a nap, and soon they all fell asleep.
Song Qianqian woke up and went to make noodles, added hot milk powder and yeast powder, today's steamed buns must be delicious, and opened the lid of the coal stove.
In the evening, Ji Mufeng stood at the gate of the courtyard and saw the head of the regiment walking next door, and smiled at him before entering.
The other family turned out to be the political commissar's house, Ji Mufeng gave him a military salute, and he also returned the military salute to Ji Mufeng.
"Hello commissar!" Ji Mufeng felt his scalp tingle.
"Good boy, the future is bright." After the commissar finished speaking, he went home.
Well, the two next door are leaders, and the other few are battalion commanders, Ji Mufeng walked back home.
"Daughter-in-law, next door to our house is the head of the regiment and the political commissar." Ji Mufeng came to the kitchen and whispered.
"It's okay, you go to the room and look at your son, the leader is not three-headed and six-armed, we don't have to hide." Song Qianqian said angrily.
Ji Mufeng nodded to look at his son, Xiaohuajuan woke up and was playing, and looked at Ji Mufeng when he heard the voice.
"Little Hanamai, baby son is awake!" Ji Mufeng was not well injured and didn't dare to hug him.
"Ahh No one understands what the little guy says.
Seeing my son wearing diapers, I don't have to worry about him wetting the bed, so I play with my son for a while.
Song Qianqian took out a jar of spicy cabbage, put it on the board and cut it and put it on the plate, took out a large piece of pork belly and washed it, after cutting it, fried the sugar color and put in the pork belly, added soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon and bay leaves, and added Lingquan water to exceed the pork belly.
Put it on the coal stove and stew it slowly, Song Qianqian kneaded the dough to make steamed buns, and added water to the pot to boil and steam the steamed buns.
Song Qianqian steamed egg custard for her son, stewed the pork belly and added rock sugar to collect the juice, then divided it into three parts and sent two to the next door, and cut two spicy cabbages for each family.
"Mu Feng, go to the two houses next door to deliver meat and spicy cabbage." Song Qianqian stood at the door of the room and whispered.
"Okay, daughter-in-law." Ji Mufeng knew her intentions.
Song Qianqian saw that he could understand a little, and hurriedly went over to pick up the small flower scroll and came to the hall to prepare for dinner.
Ji Mufeng could only go twice, he went to the regiment leader's house first, and walked in without closing the courtyard door.
"Commander, my daughter-in-law asked me to send it." Ji Mufeng didn't go in, and the sound came first.
"It smells so good! Is your daughter-in-law's stewed braised pork? Wang Guorong asked with a smile.
"yes, it's delicious." After saying that, he put it on the table and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Hey! Wait a minute, I'll give you the plate. Zhu Guihua, the daughter-in-law of the head of the regiment, said.
Soon, Ji Mufeng went home with an empty plate, and then went to the political commissar's house for the same operation.
In the end, Ji Mufeng went home to have dinner with his daughter-in-law, and his son was satisfied with the egg custard.
The two families next door were grabbing meat to eat, and after eating the meat, they began to grab spicy cabbage, and in the end they didn't even let go of the soup, and the delicious one was almost about to fight.
"The little daughter-in-law next door cooks really well." Zhu Guihua is willing to bow to the wind.
"The jerky I brought back before was sent by her." Wang Guorong is really envious of Ji Mufeng, his daughter-in-law's cooking skills are just cooking.
The political commissar's name is Jiang Yuan, who is two years Chinese New Year's Eve old today, and his daughter-in-law's name is Zhou Lan, who is a middle school teacher.
"This braised pork is better than all the ones in state-run restaurants, and this spicy cabbage is sour, spicy and appetizing." Zhou Lan is really full of praise.
"It's really delicious, this Ji Mufeng is so lucky, he married a daughter-in-law at such a young age, and I heard that he gave birth to a son, and this time he came over to take care of him." Jiang Yuan was also envious.
At night, Song Qianqian and the other father and son fell asleep, entered the space and began to write a novel.
Ji Mufeng opened his eyes and watched his daughter-in-law disappear again, so he could only close his eyes and sleep.
Early the next morning, Song Qianqian got up to wash and make breakfast, took out the milk bottle, washed and soaked milk powder, explained Ji Mufeng after breakfast, and left home with her bag to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Walking out of the door, Song Qianqian met Jiang Yuan, the political commissar next door, and the other party saw her eyes full of incredulity, he thought that the women who could cook were average, at least their appearance would definitely not be too outstanding.
"Hello commissar! My name is Song Qianqian, and I am Ji Mufeng's lover. Song Qianqian greeted him first.
"Hello, Comrade Song Qianqian." Jiang Yuan quickly came back to his senses.
After saying hello, Song Qianqian took the first step, she was going to go shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative, but she was stopped when she walked to the door.
"Hello Comrade Song, here is your letter." The comrade standing guard at the door said.
"Thank you, I may have a lot of letters and packages in the future, please help me keep them properly." After speaking, he took out two packs of cigarettes and put them on the table and turned to leave.
Song Qianqian came to the supply and marketing cooperative, in the middle of the army and the family courtyard, so that it was convenient for both sides to buy things, and nearby villagers could also come to buy.
Song Qianqian bought a basket first, and then began to choose things, there is also meat and vegetables here, and I came early today to buy a piece of fatty meat.
I also bought a few vegetables and tofu, bought some of the daily necessities, and spent all the tickets in the bag, so that I could eat meat with confidence after a bright road.
The letter just now was sent by Gao Chunmei, and there was a hundred yuan in it to buy a bicycle, Song Qianqian forgot about it, and wrote a reply letter to the doorman when she got home, and the postman came to pick up the letter once every two days.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Ji's daughter-in-law is really nice." Said the soldier standing guard at the doorman.
"People are good-looking and beautiful." The other doorman continued.
