Qin Jiulie knew that there was no way to persuade Jiang Ning.
He looked at Jiang Ning's shining eyes and smiled fondly.
he warned.
"Then go and put on the scarf and gloves."
"Okay, I'll listen to my husband."
Jiang Ning smiled sweetly.
Her scarf and gloves were newly purchased recently, and Qin Jiulie took the time to go down the mountain to pick them out.
The best wool texture chosen.
It feels soft and warm to the touch.
Still a warm light brown.
Wearing it on Jiang Ning made her look smaller and more feminine.
Qin Jiulie's hands were stained with coal and were dark. He failed to help Jiang Ning put on the scarf.
Just watching silently.
Watching Jiang Ning wrap the scarf around his neck.
The beautiful and fair face was immersed in softness.
Gao Zhan finished distributing supplies at the front and came to report the situation to Qin Jiulie.
As soon as I walked in, I happened to see the couple looking at each other sweetly.
This heroic young man is finally no longer as dumbfounded as before.
He scratched his hair awkwardly.
"Qin Tuan, sister-in-law, did I come at the wrong time?"
Why did he feel like he was shining, like a light bulb?
Gao Fang said he had grown up, but not completely.
Because if he really understood, he wouldn't ask such a question.
Jiang Ning looked at Gao Fang, smiled and shook his head.
Qin Jiulie threw the tools in his hand to him and asked Gao Fang to work.
Gao Fang was already embarrassed at being at a loss, but now that he had the tools, he felt at ease.
"Qin Tuan, you and your sister-in-law should rest, I'll do it!"
High-profile military uniforms are new.
He didn't want to get dirty, so he took it off and put it aside in a clean place.
What he wore under his military uniform was an old patched sweater, which was a little too small and obviously didn't fit him.
But he was young and energetic.
No one would really underestimate him because of his current predicament.
Qin Jiulie didn't really let Gao Fang work alone.
He held the shovel aside and stirred, while Qin Jiulie picked up the mold of briquettes and pounded it hard on the ground.
Fill the mold tightly with coal.
The lower right corner is the mold
Boom, boom, boom!
Not only was this the case for Jiang Ning's family, but there were also banging sounds coming from the front yards of other surrounding homes.
Dong dong dong...dong dong dong...
The sounds overlapped together, like a rich symphony.
You can even hear the sounds of men competing with each other.
"You can't do this well. Why is the briquette not round? It looks like a corner is missing here."
"It doesn't matter if a corner is missing, as long as it can be used. I can do it much faster than you. I've already done half of it. It doesn't look like you are so slow. Can you move at the speed of the God of War?"
"I'm still brave enough to cheat! I wasn't serious just now. Let's compete again!"
"Okay, you two... are already battalion commanders, why are you still competing with each other like a brat..."
Everyone was noisy, and there was no trace of the low atmosphere in the sewing class before.
As they worked together, everyone seemed to have temporarily forgotten about the war.
Yang Rui's house is further away.
Zhao Shuisheng was immersed in work, and the mold in his hand hit the ground heavily.
He was full of strength and had nowhere to exert his strength, so he showed it to its fullest at this time.
Several rows of briquettes have been made one by one.
Yang Rui was at the side, taking small steps back and forth.
She looked at the uniform briquettes, then looked at the man who was doing it passionately, and then she pursed her tight lips and spoke.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Zhao Shuisheng's hand moved swiftly and suddenly.
The man's rough face looked at Yang Rui.
"When you use briquettes for heating, you must open the windows and leave a gap at night, otherwise something will happen."
"This briquette is not that easy to ignite, and I won't be home at that time. I asked my sister-in-law next door to come and check on you. If you have anything, just ask her for help. Don't be embarrassed."
"It's going to snow in a while. It's hard to walk on the mountain roads when it snows. When you go to school, remember to wear the shoes I prepared for you. Those shoes have straw ropes tied to the soles, making it easier to walk."
"If you don't like cooking, you can go to my sister-in-law's house next door to eat. Don't forget to give away the food stamps I left."
"Don't be afraid when you are alone at night. There are people in the compound, there is nothing to be afraid of. There are soldiers at the sentry, and no one will come in."
A person who was not very attentive, ruminatively said everything he could think of.
But after saying so much, it was not what Yang Rui wanted to hear.
Yang Rui felt a little angry.
But the long-term married life also made her understand that what she likes is such a slow man.
Zhao Shuisheng couldn't guess what she was thinking.
He couldn't guess.
She just said it.
Yang Rui walked to Zhao Shuisheng.
Her cheeks and nose were blown red by the cold wind, and her eyes were watery.
More like a little bunny.
"Zhao Shuisheng, follow me.
"Say what?"
"Say that you will come back safely."
Yang Rui raised her head and looked straight at her with watery eyes.
Zhao Shuisheng had a lump in his throat and swallowed hard.
He said hoarsely and lowly.
"I will definitely come back safely."
Only then did Yang Rui feel satisfied.
She quickly lowered her eyes, covering up the blush rising from the corners of her eyes.
He turned his back slightly and retorted in a low voice.
"I don't like cooking any more. I've obviously improved a lot..."
…
Next door to Jiang Ning and in front of Liu Xiangmei's house.
Liu Xiangmei and Chen Wenbin, husband and wife, are busy making briquettes.
Their life has been difficult. If it weren't for Qin Jiulie's good fortune, the whole family would never have used coal for heating.
It was the first time for the two of them to do this, and the briquettes they pressed out at the beginning were still not shaped.
After doing it a few times, I gradually got the hang of it.
The couple were busy together.
Da Ya and Er Ya on the side also joined in to help.
The little girl was not afraid of the cold. She grabbed the dark coals with her little hands and shaped them into small balls.
Small briquettes are also useful.
Surrounded by a large briquette.
"Dad, mom, look...this is made by Daya! It's round, just like a steamed bun."
"Dad, mom, and Erya also did it...we did a lot of it!"
"You're so good~ You all did a good job. If you get cold, go back and wash your hands. Don't get cold."
"Da Ya and Er Ya want to help mom and dad!"
"Hahaha, you are such a good girl of my family!"
Happy laughter reached Jiang Ning's ears from next door.
She looked back at Liu Xiangmei's happy family, then lowered her head and touched her belly.
It won't be long.
Their family will also be such a harmonious family of four.
When Jiang Ning raised his eyes again, he happened to see Gao Fang take off his new military uniform and put it aside.
On the shoulders of the military uniform...
Jiang Ning's eyes paused.
That epaulette... Company Commander.
Gao Fang was the commander of the new recruit company last time, and Jiang Ning thought he was being promoted.
But Gao Fang said that it was only temporary. When the new camp was over, everything would return to normal.
but now.
The expedition was about to begin, but Gao Fang was suddenly promoted.
This time, he is the real company commander!
Jiang Ning looked at the epaulette, but his heart sank.
——
(Here is a brief explanation. Accepting orders at the last moment of crisis is a kind of pressure and burden. It is not a good thing for someone to be promoted to a high position at this time.)
