A whole piece of meat was cooked in the pot. Gong Linglong also peeled two radishes as side dishes. The portion was larger, so each family could share a bowl equally.
Lu Jingchuan was lighting a fire in front of the stove and saw a group of children drooling around him. They were all lying on the side of the pot waiting for the food to come out. He laughed helplessly: "Okay, wipe off the saliva, go home and wash your hands, and ask your parents to get some." Bring the bowls to put the food in, and the meal will be served in five minutes.”
The older children sensibly went back to call for help, but the younger ones were still crowded in the kitchen. Gong Linglong had no choice but to pour a basin of warm water and call them over one by one to wash their hands.
The men from each family came back. Zheng Yong and Wang Yumiao came first with their son in their arms. Zheng Yong just went to the canteen to bring food to Lu Jingchuan. As soon as he entered the room, he said: "It smells so good."
"I've heard that Miss Linglong's food is delicious. We are in for a treat today."
Wang Yumiao was walking behind with her son in her arms. Seeing that the room was crowded with children, she was very amused: "I asked why the yard was so quiet today. They are all hiding here."
"Their saliva almost flooded our kitchen." Gong Linglong was wiping everyone's faces with a handkerchief.
Seeing her washing the children's faces and wiping their hands with great patience and gentleness, Wang Yumiao smiled and said: "Linglong, I think you are very patient with children. Give birth to one as soon as possible, and let my brother Jun take him to play later."
Gong Linglong had made preparations for having children when she got married. She had never considered getting married and having children in her previous life, but when she met Lu Jingchuan in this life, she put the matter on the agenda and looked forward to the birth of the two of them. Landed.
"Let nature take its course."
There was no way to plan for pregnancy and childbirth. They had reached a tacit agreement on this matter and never considered taking measures to avoid it when doing things.
Lu Jingchuan said nothing. Silence was equivalent to acquiescing to her words.
In fact, he was also imagining the days when he had children at home. There was a child who looked very similar to the couple, sitting around the stove and drooling at the smell of meat. He also followed him to training and running, and played with the children in the family home. I screamed, thinking about this picture made me feel particularly warm and happy.
When everyone came over with their bowls, the meat in the pot was stewed. Each family filled their bowls, and their own family also kept a bowl.
"Sister-in-law Xu, Gangzi should have dinner with us at noon. I will send him over after dinner."
Lu Jingchuan saw that Gangzi was sitting obediently next to his wife, a little clingy to her, not noisy, nor jumping around begging for food like other children. He felt a little depressed, so he took the initiative to keep him at home for dinner.
He knew that the second battalion commander and his wife were very kind to Gangzi, but they also had two children at home, and it was rare for everyone to eat meat. If Gangzi didn't come to eat, his two children would have one or two more bites of meat.
Xu Lu smiled and accepted his intention, "Okay, Gangzi, you stay here to have dinner with Auntie Gong, we will go back."
After they left, Gong Linglong picked up a bowl of meat and called to the child sitting at her feet, "Gangzi, come here and eat meat."
The three-year-old child's emotions came and went quickly. He scooped out the meat with a spoon and ate it happily. He kept smiling: "Rourou, it's delicious."
"Eat with rice."
Gong Linglong gave him another piece. She also piled several pieces of meat into her bowl. Lu Jingchuan gave them to her. She also took a spoonful for him: "Brother Jing, you eat too."
"Linglong, take a nap at home in the afternoon."
Lu Jingchuan had just learned that they had completed the task in half the time. He also heard from his sisters-in-law that his wife was the main force in the work and that she had been working extremely hard these past two days.
These days, they both sleep late at night and always work until the early hours of the morning. However, the quality of their sleep is quite high, and they still get up early every day without feeling tired.
Gong Linglong did not develop the habit of taking a nap, so he said: "I will go fishing by the river in the afternoon and go to bed early in the evening."
"Okay, fish by the river, don't go to deep water."
Gangzi was very good at eating. He picked up all the rice that fell on the table and ate it. Maybe because the meat was so delicious, he finished the bowl of rice quickly.
"Auntie, I still want it."
"You're so good, I'll give you some more food."
Gong Linglong got up and went to add rice to him, filled a large bowl with it, picked some meat for him, and scooped out some soft radish and soup to soak in the rice, "Gangzi, eat quickly, and eat with the stone." They go to play. Your father will be back tomorrow. He has gone to pick up your grandma. From now on, your grandma will cook for you."
"grandmother?"
Gangzi was only more than one year old when he came from his hometown. He had no impression of his grandma. He looked confused and asked, "Is it grandma?"
"It's not grandma, it's grandma, your father's mother."
"Will grandma hit me? Will she snatch my food?" Gangzi was often whipped by Mrs. Qian, and she even took away some snacks. He didn't like her very much.
"No, grandma will love you very much."
Gong Linglong thought about how strange Mrs. Qian was, and she rarely said something behind her back: "This Mrs. Qian is so wicked that she even robs her grandson's things to eat."
"She took all the allowance and salary of the second deputy battalion commander and mailed it back." Lu Jingchuan only found out about this recently.
Gong Linglong: "...There is a saying that it is better to demolish a temple than a marriage. I think this marriage should have been demolished long ago."
"He was also concerned that the child was still young."
Lu Jingchuan never interfered in the family affairs of his comrades and subordinates. Although he recognized Yuan Anbin's work ability, if he could not handle the family affairs well and could not handle the family affairs well, then his future development would have to be decided by his superiors.
Although Gangzi was young, he seemed to understand what they said, and said crisply: "Grandma is not good, I don't like her, and dad doesn't like her either. Grandma always asks dad for money. She buys delicious food and eats it herself." , won’t let us eat.”
"Your dad sent grandma back to his hometown. She will never come again. From now on, your dad will use the money he earns to buy delicious food for you and let grandma cook it for you." Gong Linglong didn't say anything about his parents' divorce. Don't mention his mother to save him from thinking too much about it.
Gangzi thought that grandma would not come, so he grinned and said, "Dad is coming back to buy some meat to eat."
"Well, dad will buy it for you when he comes back."
After eating, Gong Linglong washed the dishes at home, and Lu Jingchuan sent Gangzi to the second battalion chief's house to let the children play together.
After he went to work in the afternoon, she took the fishing rod, wooden bucket, and a book and went straight to the river to choose a spot.
"Huh? So fast?"
Less than two minutes after sitting down, the fishhook started to move.
Pulling the fish up, a lively grass carp weighing about three pounds, Gong Linglong saw that no one was walking around, and immediately threw the fish into the small pond in the space without leaving any trace.
String the corn leaves picked from the space on the string again, flick the fishing line, put down the fishing rod, and continue to sit down and read.
After another two minutes, the fishing rod was dragged. Gong Linglong was slightly surprised. He immediately put down the book and grabbed the fishing rod that was sliding down. After feeling the force of the fish biting the hook, his eyes lit up and he was a little excited: "This is A big fish.”
When the fish surfaced, he was overjoyed and said, "This fish is at least six or seven pounds. It will be stewed in the pot tonight."
After taking the second fish into the space, Gong Linglong looked down at the corn leaves at his feet and had a guess in his mind: "It should be that the things growing in the space have a special smell, and the fish's sense of smell is very sensitive, so I couldn't stand it." Temptation bites the hook.”
