The next morning, Su Mei woke up from the cold.
As soon as it was clear outside, she moved her arms and legs and stood up with a sore back.
It didn't seem that cold last night. When I opened the door and went out, the snow outside had stopped, and the sky and the earth were completely white.
Su Mei walked to Huo Jianguo's door and took a look. She found that his door was locked from the outside, and she knew that Huo Jianguo had gone out early in the morning.
Being a soldier on the frontier is very hard. Even though Huo Jianguo is already a cadre at the division commander level, he is still busy every day.
They are responsible for the construction and development of border defenses, guarding peace on the border, and preventing smuggling, drug trafficking, and poaching at the border.
There are too many miscellaneous things to do, and the border guards have the hardest time.
Seeing that Huo Jianguo was not here, Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had made up her mind to have a good relationship with Huo Jianguo, something like that just happened yesterday, and she was really embarrassed to see him now.
With her stomach growling with hunger, Su Mei decided to make herself some breakfast first.
She went to the kitchen and found that there were rice, flour, shredded potatoes, eggs, and a few pumpkins that had been there for who knows how long.
The oil jar contained half a jar of boiled lard, and the salt jar contained a large lump of salt.
In this era, few people eat fine salt because fine salt is expensive and salt is very cheap. It is a large salt block like a stone. When cooking, you can scrape out the salt with a spoon a few times.
Apart from salt, there are no other seasonings in the kitchen.
The original owner wasn't very good at cooking, so she could cook it well at most. She didn't care about the taste. Anyway, when she didn't have to choose, she could eat anything.
Su Mei's craftsmanship is excellent.
Although she was busy with her studies in college, she always insisted on cooking dinner by herself in order to save money.
Later, when she started working, Su Mei would cook for herself whenever she took a break.
Because she felt that the smell of cooking could make her, a person without a home, feel the smell of fireworks at home.
Su Mei has tried to cook all kinds of dishes from the eight major cuisines. When she first started cooking, she followed Douyin step by step.
After learning more, Su Mei has memorized many recipes. Although her cooking skills are different from those of a chef, there is no problem in making them delicious, delicious and delicious.
She took out the flour and kneaded the dough, then put the dough on the bottom of the bowl to rest.
While the noodles were waking up, she peeled the potatoes, cut a piece of pumpkin, diced the pumpkin and potatoes, stir-fried them with a small amount of oil, then added water to start making soup.
Then she pulled the dough out and started pulling the noodles.
Soon, noodles with distinct roots appeared in Su Mei's hand.
After the soup boiled, she put the noodles in, and a few minutes later, a bowl of fragrant noodle soup was cooked.
The heavy snow covered up the smell of everything in the world, so the fragrance of the noodles made with Su Mei soon spread all over the yard with the winter wind.
Feeling her belly growling with hunger, Su Mei sat down with the bowl in hand.
The tables, chairs and benches in the kitchen are still very clean, because Huo Jianguo occasionally goes into the kitchen to cook and eat when he takes a break, and he cleans up the place.
So Su Mei can sit down and eat directly.
Smelling the fragrant noodles, she suddenly heard the door to the courtyard being pushed open from the outside. When she turned her head, she found Huo Jianguo walking in from the outside with a cold face.
The room was too dark yesterday, so Su Mei didn't see clearly what Huo Jianguo looked like.
He just realized today that this man is really handsome!
He has a clean shaven head, wears a straight military uniform, carries two bars and three stars on his shoulders, is tall and burly, walks with steady steps, and is very heroic.
For such a top-notch man, no wonder the original owner was so desperate to marry him and coveted his body for free.
It's a pity that the original owner was too stupid and didn't grasp such an excellent man in the right way.
Su Mei was ready to make a move. She was eager to try, thinking that if the original owner couldn't do it, she could give it a try. She took the initiative to stand up and say hello to Huo Jianguo:
"You went out early in the morning. You haven't eaten yet. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something together?"
At this time, Huo Jianguo had already walked up to Su Mei. His eyes were filled with rage, veins appeared on the back of his hands, and he looked at Su Mei as if he wanted to eat someone.
"Su Mei, I want to divorce you. I went to the Youth League Committee early in the morning to explain our situation. Our relationship as husband and wife has always been in name only.
You are overbearing and domineering, causing a lot of complaints in the military compound. I have applied to the organization and got its approval. Now you and I can go to the Youth League Committee to go through the divorce procedures! "
At this time, divorce in the army does not need to go through the civil affairs department. You can go directly to the Youth League Committee to get a divorce certificate. Both husband and wife sign it and the Youth League Committee stamps it. It is considered divorced.
Su Mei was dumbfounded.
She was still thinking about how to please Huo Jianguo and build a good relationship with him. She didn't expect that he went out so early in the morning just to apply for divorce from her.
Thinking about it, the original owner did go too far. She actually drugged Huo Jianguo.
For a man as high-ranking and proud as Huo Jianguo, if he was really raped by a woman, he would probably commit murder and arson.
Huo Jianguo did not pursue the matter of drugging and directly filed for divorce, which was enough for a man.
But Su Mei still wanted to struggle. She lowered her eyebrows and said softly:
"Huo Jianguo, I know, it was all my fault in the past. I was overbearing, unhygienic, and embarrassed you outside. It was all my fault.
I was wrong, I was really wrong. Can you give me a chance to be a new person? I promise that I will never be a fool again. Can you please don't divorce me first and then observe whether I will change? "
Seeing Su Mei's cautious and aggrieved look, Huo Jianguo was stunned for a moment. He was a little surprised. In the past, whenever divorce was mentioned, this woman would cry, make a fuss, and hang herself. Today, strangely, her first reaction was not to make a fuss. .
But no matter what Su Mei's reaction was, in Huo Jianguo's eyes, she was playing tricks, and there was no way he would be soft-hearted at all. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Don't give me so much nonsense. This isn't the first time you've said something wrong. Does it work? You won't be repeating your old tricks after a while.
I don't believe you will change, and whether you change or not has nothing to do with me. I didn't want to marry you in the first place.
If I had known that you would be on my hands when I fished you out of the river, I would have regretted not watching the flood drown you.
Su Mei, if you want to get married today, you have to divorce me. "
Speaking of this, Su Mei knew that Huo Jianguo had already sentenced the original owner to death in his heart.
She couldn't clean up this mess, and there was no way to repair her relationship with Huo Jianguo.
The noodles in her hand suddenly lost their flavor. Su Mei felt extremely heavy when she thought that after the divorce, she would return to the isolated mountain with no water or electricity.
This era is no different than that of later generations, who can go wherever they want after getting divorced. In this era where a letter of introduction is required to go out, if she is divorced and has no household registration, she can only return to her place of origin.
She swallowed the sourness in her heart, looked down at the noodles in her bowl, and said:
"Since you insist so much, let's leave. After I finish eating this bowl of noodles, I will go through the formalities with you."
Although Su Mei was still thinking about trying to please Huo Jianguo last night in order to survive in her current comfortable life, she was not the thick-skinned person like her original owner.
There was no way that she could act like a fool and want to stay when a man proposed a divorce. After all, she was a modern woman and had her own dignity.
The hands holding the chopsticks tightened again and again, and Su Mei fed the hot noodles into her mouth one bite at a time.
Huo Jianguo frowned deeply. He always felt that something was wrong with Su Mei from a certain moment last night.
However, he soon stopped thinking about it.
This woman was full of bad ideas, and she might have some evil intentions in her heart. Huo Jianguo took off his hat, sat down opposite Su Mei, and said coldly:
"Okay, I'll just wait for you to finish eating and see what other tricks you can come up with!"
