Fast forward to mid-June.
It has been almost a month since Zhang Guoping joined the army. His attention has been diverted from the pain and he is immersed in his beloved career every day.
This is convenient for Cheng Jingmo, who hangs out with Zhang Guoping every night.
In more than a month, he learned a lot about radio.
Not only have I mastered a lot of theories, but I can also complete simple radio station maintenance and circuit layout independently.
However, he also has things to worry about.
The temperature in Nancheng was getting higher and higher, and Yu Xiangnian began to dislike his high body temperature and stopped hugging him at night.
In the past few nights, as soon as he put someone into his arms, Yu Xiangnian pushed him away with a look of disgust.
Especially last night, I was pestering him passionately a few minutes ago, but I disliked him after using it.
Scumbag!
On this day, Yu Xiangyang brought Xia Qingyun to his house for dinner.
When the two arrived at home, Cheng Jingmo was cooking in the kitchen, and Yu Xiangnian sat on a chair in front of the stove door, chatting with him.
Xia Qingyun would see Cheng Jingmo from time to time in the army. Every time he saw him, he always looked expressionless.
Only recently did Xia Qingyun understand that Cheng Jingmo didn't know how to smile, but only smiled at Xiang Nian.
Xia Qingyun was envious and jealous of Xiang Nian.
God is very unfair. Yu Xiangnian was favored in his natal family, and he is still favored like this after marrying someone.
"You're here!" Yu Xiangnian accidentally saw the two people walking in, quickly stood up, and came out to say hello.
Cheng Jingmo said hello and went into the kitchen to work again.
Yu Xiangnian took what Xia Qingyun brought and told Yu Xiangyang, "Go in and help Cheng Jingmo cook."
Two women sat outside chatting with a fan blowing on.
Xia Qingyun asked: "Nian Nian, does Deputy Commander Cheng cook all the meals at home?"
Yu Xiangnian said: "I do it occasionally."
Xia Qingyun said enviously: "Then I have to let Yu Xiangyang learn from Deputy Commander Cheng."
Yu Xiangnian poured cold water on Xia Qingyun, "Yu Xiangyang's temper is okay for one or two meals, but if you ask him to cook every day, he would rather starve to death!"
Xia Qingyun frowned, "Yu Xiangyang seems to have no patience for anything."
Xia Qingyun has been very troubled recently.
It has been half a month since Yu Xiangyang returned from his mission. Although Yu Xiangyang still comes to see her every afternoon, Yu Xiangyang will buy her whatever she wants without hesitation.
But Xia Qingyun always felt that Yu Xiangyang was no longer very enthusiastic about her, which made her feel a sense of crisis.
Yu Xiangnian heard the overtone of the words and guessed that Yu Xiangyang and Xia Qingyun must be having some trouble.
She took the opportunity to say: "So, my mother often says that Yu Xiangyang's temperament is unstable and immature."
in the kitchen.
Yu Xiangyang was chopping meat, "Cheng Jingmo, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Xia Qingyun wants to visit my house. Do you want to take her with you?"
Cheng Jingmo was cooking, "I'm a novice on emotional matters, can I give you some advice?"
Yu Xiangyang said: "There is no one else to ask, it's a dead horse and a living horse to ask!"
Cheng Jingmo: Thank you!
"Last time you took her home, you didn't just take her back without anyone asking," he said.
In fact, Cheng Jingmo, as an outsider, has a clear view.
Yu Xiangyang asked this question, which meant that his determination was shaken.
Yu Xiangyang said in annoyance, "Isn't it because I took it back without the consent of my family last time and everyone was very unhappy? I'm worried that if I take it back the day after tomorrow, it will happen again!"
Cheng Jingmo said: "No one was unhappy last time. You were unhappy yourself and quarreled with your family."
Yu Xiangyang lowered his voice and said, "You don't know how sensitive these women are! The last time I took her home, the family was very enthusiastic, but as soon as she went out, she cried and said my family didn't like her."
Cheng Jingmo said: "Even if you take her back, her family will still treat her the same as last time. It depends on you whether you think she has been wronged again."
Yu Xiangyang felt that he had asked for a long time, but it was as if he hadn't asked at all.
After asking again and again, Cheng Jingmo always let him make his own decision!
After eating, Yu Xiangyang and Xia Qingyun left.
Cheng Jingmo looked at Yu Xiangnian eagerly, "Daughter-in-law, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival."
Yu Xiangnian immediately responded with an expression that she understood.
Cheng Jingmo was looking forward to it.
The next day, Cheng Jingmo returned home and saw Yu Xiangnian in the kitchen, busy preparing something.
It's rare to see Yu Xiangnian being interested in things in the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Jingmo walked in and asked.
"Look at these things." Yu Xiangnian pointed to the glutinous rice, rice dumpling leaves, pork and other things on the chopping board, and said as if taking credit, "Early this morning, I went to buy them with Sister-in-law Liu Zhen, Wang Hongxiang and the others! "
Cheng Jingmo: "..."
He reminded her yesterday that celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival was not about eating rice dumplings!
Yu Xiangnian asked: "Cheng Jingmo, do you like sweet or salty rice dumplings?"
He asked as if she could tell him what he liked to eat.
What Cheng Jingmo is even more worried about is, "Can you make rice dumplings?"
Yu Xiangnian asked confidently: "You don't know how?"
Cheng Jingmo: "..."
Co-author, Yu Xiangnian was planning to let him do it!
He has never made rice dumplings before, and he really doesn’t know how to make them.
Yu Xiangnian saw Cheng Jingmo's thoughts and said confidently: "We can wrap it up together later, it won't be difficult!"
While Cheng Jingmo was cooking, Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie started washing rice, washing rice dumpling leaves, and washing peanuts and jujubes.
During this period, Yu Xiangnian also went to sister-in-law Liu Zhen’s house next door to learn how to make rice dumplings.
When I got home, I suddenly realized: "It turns out that rice dumpling leaves must be cooked before they can be wrapped!"
When Cheng Jingmo was cooking, he cut the pork and marinated it.
After dinner, the family of three began to make rice dumplings.
Making rice dumplings is not difficult. Just put two rice dumpling leaves together and roll them into a funnel shape. Just put glutinous rice, peanuts, meat and other things inside, and then tie them up with a rope.
In theory, anyone can do it, but actually doing it is another matter.
One moment the rice dumpling leaves were torn, the other moment the rice leaked out, and the moment the rope was tied the rice dumplings burst.
The rice dumplings that were finally made were also strangely shaped, and their appearance was really terrible.
The Liu Zhen family next door were astonished when they heard the bursts of laughter that broke out from time to time in Yu Xiangnian's house.
Making a rice dumpling, why are you so happy?
Liu Zhen was also making rice dumplings, "Old Xiao, you said that when Deputy Commander Cheng and Comrade Yu first got married, no one in our family was optimistic about them, and they always thought they would get divorced tomorrow. Who would have thought that this would happen? They are such a good couple!"
Xiao Tuanjie leaned back on his chair and fanned himself, "Relationships are cultivated slowly, and Deputy Commander Cheng is rewarded through all the hardships."
I remember when they first got married, they lived next door and could hear Yu Xiangnian quarreling and smashing pots and pans every day.
"Comrade Yu is really good!" Liu Zhen said. "He is generous and polite to us neighbors. He also has nothing to say to Xiaojie. Xiaojie treats her as his own mother!"
Yu Xiangnian soaked a lot of rice and planned to take the rice dumplings back for them to try when he goes back to his parents' home for the festival tomorrow.
Therefore, a family of three packed a whole night and packed a lot of baskets.
So much so that when I go to bed at night, I keep thinking about the salty rice dumplings tied with red thread and the sweet rice dumplings tied with white thread.
