Cheng Jingmo always had the same expression, "Comrade Yu, our regiment needs some equipment for training."
Ding Yunfei saw Cheng Jingmo and walked out while saying hello, "Deputy Captain Cheng..."
He didn't dare to hook up with Yu Xiangnian blatantly. If he was labeled as having style problems, his future would be ruined.
Yu Xiangnian opened the drawer, took out the key and registration book and walked out.
Yu Xiangnian led Cheng Jingmo towards the warehouse. Cheng Jingmo walked behind her, looking at the slender figure, feeling a little irritable.
Does she interact with Ding Yunfei like this every day?
Unknowingly, I had reached the door of the warehouse, where five soldiers were already waiting.
When I saw Yu Xiangnian, I didn't know whether I should say hello or not.
In the past, several comrades came to collect their things and called Yu Xiangnian "sister-in-law", but they were scolded terribly.
The five people looked at each other, and finally, a soldier timidly said, "Comrade Yu... Hello!"
Yu Xiang smiled enthusiastically, nodded and said, "Hello!"
The five warriors were even more at a loss and looked at each other.
Several people walked into the warehouse to move things, and Yu Xiangnian stood aside and recorded everything without the legendary impatience, and also told them to be careful.
The soldiers glanced at Cheng Jingmo secretly. He followed Yu Xiang Nian to check the things he received with a serious look on his face.
The five soldiers moved their things and left first. Before leaving, a brave soldier said, "Sister-in-law, let's leave first."
Yu Xiangnian raised his head and smiled, "Okay, please slow down."
The muscles on Cheng Jingmo's face jumped uncontrollably.
He expressionlessly took the registration book handed to Xiang Nian, signed it, returned the book to her, and then turned around and left.
Looking at the military green back, Yu Xiangnian suddenly wanted to tease him.
"Hey, Cheng Jingmo!"
Cheng Jingmo paused and turned around after a few seconds, "Comrade Yu, is there anything else?"
Yu Xiangnian walked slowly to him with his hands behind his back, raised his face and said, "Are you leaving without saying hello?"
Cheng Jingmo lowered his eyes. The small face in front of him was clean and white, with bright lips. The bright eyes looked at him with a smile but not a smile.
He felt a little dry, so he quickly took a step back and said, "Comrade Yu, goodbye."
"Comrade Cheng Jingmo, don't exercise strenuously and be careful about your wounds!"
She spoke in a very serious tone, word by word, and Cheng Jingmo's ears felt hot for some unknown reason.
He said no more, turned around and left.
Yu Xiangnian looked at his red ears and chuckled.
This man is so innocent, he is shy even if he talks to women!
Listening to Yu Xiangnian's laughter, Cheng Jingmo felt that his ears were burning even more, and his pace was getting faster and faster.
After a while, he caught up with the five warriors.
"Deputy Commander Cheng, why are you blushing?" a soldier said in surprise.
"It's too hot, so we have to walk in a hurry."
"We don't believe it! You must be the reason why you saw my sister-in-law!" Another soldier said with a smile, "My sister-in-law is really beautiful, and she is not as fierce as those people say."
"Why is it so fierce? I still think my sister-in-law is approachable, like a fairy!"
"It's not a fairy, it's the woman in the picture."
Several soldiers were chattering and discussing. Cheng Jingmo said quietly: "That's enough. Do you want to run an extra ten kilometers later?"
Cheng Jingmo has always known that Yu Xiangnian is beautiful, but talking about people behind their backs is not what a grown man should do.
Several people quickly silenced themselves, and Cheng Jingmo's expression slowly returned to normal.
When it was almost time to get off work, Cheng Jingmo brought the soldiers to return the equipment.
In the warehouse, Yu Xiangnian counted the things one by one. When Cheng Jingmo signed, he said, "I'll chop the bamboo later, and I'll make dinner when I get home."
There is a bamboo forest about three kilometers away from the army. If he goes back quickly, it will only take an hour.
"Oh, go ahead, I want to go home and cook soon." Yu Xiangnian said.
Cheng Jingmo frowned, then signed, returned the registration book to Yu Xiangnian, and left without saying hello.
Yu Xiangnian returned home and started cooking.
In fact, she is not very good at cooking. In modern society, she either eats in the canteen or orders takeout, and rarely cooks by herself.
But I can’t do it now.
For fish, I made tomato braised fish with tomatoes and chili peppers. I don’t know if it’s edible.
Shrimp, fry it in oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, etc. to make salt and pepper shrimp.
Then, I picked cucumbers in the courtyard and made a soup.
Just make do with it.
As soon as the meal was ready, Cheng Jingmo came back, carrying a large bunch of bananas in his hand and a small backpack on his shoulder.
"Such a tall banana!" Xiaojie exclaimed.
Yu Xiangnian looked at this bunch of bananas, which was almost one meter high, and was also surprised, "Aren't you going to chop bamboo?"
"There were a few banana trees in the bamboo forest. I saw they were ripe, so I cut a bunch."
"What about bamboo?"
"Leave it at the door and send it over later."
I couldn't finish such a big bunch of bananas, so Yu Xiangnian said, "Then cut off a piece and send it to Commander Xiao's family."
Cheng Jingmo thought so too. He chopped some bananas and sent them along with the bamboos, and asked Xiaojie to give some to Dong Minghao's family.
When I came back, I was holding several packages of eggplants and a handful of cabbage.
Sister-in-law Liu Zhen just picked it from her own field and insisted on letting him take it home to eat.
Cheng Jingmo returned home, took out the eggs from the small basket, poured the clams from the basket into a bucket, and put them in water to keep them.
"Have you gone shopping yet?" Yu Xiangnian asked.
“I met some fellow villagers selling them on the road, so I bought them on the way.”
In this era, local villagers often secretly sell the things they grow to supplement their family income.
Cheng Jingmo bought twenty eggs for six cents each, which cost him one dollar and twenty cents.
A small basket of clams weighed about four or five kilograms. He bought the clams and basket together, but the fellow asked him for eight yuan.
Yesterday I thought I wouldn’t be able to use the money, but I will use it today.
He had never spent money carelessly before, but when he saw these clams today, he felt that Yu Xiangnian should like to eat them.
Most people here in Nancheng like to eat seafood.
Yu Xiangnian didn't know what Cheng Jingmo was thinking. In her mind, buying things was a normal thing. She said, "Well, you ask Yu Xiangyang to come to your house for dinner tomorrow, and I'll ask him to bring some bananas back."
"Don't tell him yet, bring him directly after work, otherwise he will have to go shopping again." She added.
"Um."
"Eat, I've done everything."
Cheng Jingmo: "..." He ran so fast just to get home and cook. How could he have it ready?
Yu Xiangnian brought out the freshly cooked food from the kitchen, and the three of them sat at the Eight Immortals Table to eat.
Cheng Jingmo only eats rice with cucumber soup, and occasionally eats some tomatoes from braised fish.
Yu Xiangnian saw that Cheng Jingmo wanted to save the fish and shrimp for her and Xiaojie to eat.
She put the freshly peeled shrimp into his bowl and gave him a large piece of fish.
Cheng Jingmo paused as he looked at the things in the bowl.
