Kitchenette.
Qin Jiulie took Jiang Ning's hand and walked to a corner.
His voice was low, hiding urgent worry.
"Daughter-in-law, you can refuse. The military camp canteen will open a small stove for grandparents, so you can eat there. You didn't have a good rest last night, so you don't have to work so hard."
Speaking of last night.
Jiang Ning's face heated up a little.
She raised her head, looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her, and smiled gently.
"Jiu Lie, this is not just a meal, it is my feelings for my grandparents. You protected me so much just now, and I also want my grandparents to know that I am worthy of you."
Just like Jiang Ning said, this is more than just a meal.
A wife's cooking skills not only represent a woman's ability, but also a husband's face.
Husband and wife are one.
Qin Jiulie had protected her so unhesitatingly before.
She also wanted to make Qin Jiulie's face look bright.
"But... we have nothing at home."
Qin Jiulie frowned and swept his dark eyes over the stove beside him.
Although the kitchen was clean, there were only pots and pans, ginger, garlic, and some seasonings.
The most important staple ingredient is missing at all!
How can you make three dishes and one soup?
Jiang Ning still looked calm and confident.
"Don't worry, I will find a way. I use briquette stoves at home. I don't know how to use this stove. You light the fire first. I'll go out and be back soon."
She said this to Qin Jiulie, and then hurried out.
Jiang Ning walked out of the small courtyard.
She did not go elsewhere or enter the Lingbao space to get ingredients. Instead, she walked in the military compound and looked at the neat rows of small bungalows on the roadside and the yards of each of their families.
Until she saw one of the houses, whose fields in the yard were being taken care of in an orderly manner.
On the left are peppers, ginger, garlic and onions, a lush green patch.
On the right side, there are green vegetables, Chinese cabbage, carrots and sweet potatoes, full of them.
Jiang Ning took one look and was convinced!
This is it!
Although there are people from other families planting vegetables and flowers, they seem to be doing it more perfunctorily, and they don’t even pull out the weeds on the ridges of the fields.
Only this one is the richest and neatest.
Jiang Ning walked into the courtyard of this house, knocked on the door, and called out a name.
"Sister Chunxia, are you at home?"
After a while.
There were footsteps inside the house.
A woman's figure came out of the house.
The woman is about 27 or 28 years old, with a round face, dark skin, a slightly rustic appearance, and her hair is just tied with a rubber band.
She was wearing a dark red coat and a pair of black pants. The clothes were stained with mud and looked dirty.
The woman was eating just now, and when she came out, she was holding a big rice bowl in her hand.
While she was eating, she looked at Jiang Ning and frowned in confusion.
at the same time.
Jiang Ning also looked at her.
Jiang Ning had already met five or six sisters-in-law living in the compound this morning.
The sisters-in-law had all tidied up, their clothes and fabrics were very new, and they had a clean air about them.
But the woman in front of him, if he hadn't seen her walking out of the house with his own eyes, it would be impossible for people to believe that she was actually from the military compound.
However, Jiang Ning was sure that this person was Wang Chunxia after taking a first look.
Wang Chunxia's husband is Zhou Zhiguo, the battalion commander of the fifth battalion.
His level is not low, and he is also the most special among the several battalion commanders.
In this era, being a soldier is the most glorious thing, and many people struggle to get the opportunity.
Therefore, many of today's officers at the regiment, battalion, and company levels are like Qin Jiulie, second or third generation with a background.
But this Zhou Zhiguo, his origin is just an ordinary farmer.
It was step by step, with blood-stained military exploits, that he reached his current position as battalion commander.
And it’s rare…
After Zhou Zhiguo became famous, he did not forget his wife in his hometown in the countryside.
After being stationed in the southwest, Wang Chunxia was immediately picked up.
Wang Chunxia and Zhou Zhiguo were from the same village, and they were also the most ordinary farmers.
After she came to the military compound, she felt uncomfortable in various ways.
Especially when dealing with other military sisters-in-law.
The sisters-in-law sometimes talk like words and pretend to be educated people, but Wang Chunxia cannot understand them.
Wang Chunxia kept talking about farming in the fields, and her sisters-in-law didn't like to hear it.
They are from two different worlds and cannot get along at all.
Wang Chunxia still likes their countryside, with its vast fields and mountains, which makes walking exciting.
But the military compound is no ordinary place.
It is very troublesome to check over and over again when entering and exiting.
Wang Chunxia is like a goat, trapped in it.
But life still has to go on.
She could only spend all her time in a small field of several dozen square meters in her yard.
She still lived an ordinary life working in the fields, taking care of everything in an orderly manner, and growing more and more things.
Gradually, she stopped interacting with other sisters-in-law around her.
In the past six months, almost no one has knocked on their door.
Jiang Ning is the first and only one.
Wang Chunxia looked around Jiang Ning and couldn't remember who she was, so she simply asked directly.
"Which family are you from? What do you want from me?"
When she spoke, she had a native accent.
Some sisters-in-law who belong to the military had previously advised her to change her accent, saying it sounded rustic and not fashionable at all.
Both inside and outside the words are contemptuous of rural people.
But at this moment.
Wang Chunxia didn't see any look of disdain on Jiang Ning's face.
"Sister Chunxia, my man's name is Qin Jiulie, and I am his daughter-in-law. I came here this time to borrow some vegetables from your vegetable patch, do you think that's OK?"
Jiang Ning smiled at Wang Chunxia and spoke cheerfully and warmly.
She was not raw at all.
Especially that cry of sister, it was so loud.
Jiang Ning was simply young and fair, which reminded Wang Chunxia of her little sister at home.
His expression softened unconsciously.
Besides, who doesn’t know Qin Jiulie’s name?
Wang Chunxia nodded, "Of course. Don't talk about borrowing or not, they are all grown at home and are not worth anything at all."
When Jiang Ning heard this, he smiled and thanked.
"Thank you, Sister Chunxia."
Talking.
Jiang Ning turned around and walked towards the vegetable patch. He rolled up his sleeves and bent down to pick vegetables.
"Hey, wait, wait--"
Wang Chunxia hurriedly called to Jiang Ning.
She didn't even eat, she put the big bowl aside and hurried over.
He grabbed Jiang Ning's hand.
"With your thin arms and legs, you don't look like someone who has worked in the fields. Don't be busy with this. I'll take care of it. Just tell me what you want."
"Sister Chunxia, you are so kind."
Jiang Ning thanked him sweetly.
"I want two carrots, a handful of green vegetables, a cabbage... and that spring onion... Is this wild garlic? I want some too..."
After a series of ingredients.
Jiang Ning looked at Wang Chunxia with flashing eyes and asked.
"Sister Chunxia, you also went to the market yesterday, right? Do you have any pork at home? Can you give me half a catty? I will give you a pound of pork coupons later, and I will definitely return it to you!"
