Chapter 123: Things Aunt Yan Gave
This is also a form of psychotherapy. Sometimes words can go deeper into people's hearts than any other method.
After Xu Qingluo had figured out the general direction, he began to write the story.
When Zhou Yuheng came back at noon, he didn't see Xu Qingluo in the living room.
There was no smell of smoke coming from the kitchen.
Zhou Yuheng suddenly thought of something and hurried into the room to check, and the door was pushed open forcefully.
The sound interrupted Xu Qingluo's thoughts, and she looked at Zhou Yuheng standing at the door with confusion in her eyes.
Zhou Yuheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her sitting at the desk. He had thought his wife...
When Xu Qingluo saw him coming back, she quickly raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist.
The time has come to 12:15 noon.
"Oh no! I didn't cook lunch!"
Xu Qingluo quickly put down the pen in his hand, stood up and ran to the kitchen.
Seeing that she was so anxious that she was jogging, Zhou Yuheng quickly stopped her to prevent her from falling.
"I'll cook it."
"Sit down."
Zhou Yuheng settled Xu Qingluo down, then turned and went to the kitchen to boil water and knead dough.
Xu Qingluo couldn't sit still either, so he went into the kitchen to help.
"What did you do at home this morning?"
Zhou Yuheng asked curiously. He actually wanted to ask Xu Qingluo what she was thinking about that made her forget to cook.
He was afraid that she was thinking about something she shouldn't be thinking about again.
"I just write articles and forget about time while writing."
Zhou Yuheng felt relieved when he heard that she had forgotten the time because she was writing an article.
Just don't think about other things.
"I'll just come back with lunch from now on."
"It's winter, so don't cook."
Xu Qingluo thought about it and realized that she really didn’t like cooking in the middle of winter.
And she has to do it several times a day, she really can't do it.
The food in the army canteen is actually quite delicious, and the ingredients are all real, with a combination of meat and vegetables.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with eating lunch in the cafeteria.
Neither she nor Zhou Yuheng was the kind of person who relied on frugality to support their families.
Is there any difference between cooking at home and cooking in the cafeteria?
It’s just a matter of spending a little more money. Spending a little money means you can cook one less meal every day. Xu Qingluo thinks it’s a good deal.
In this regard, Xu Qingluo and Zhou Yuheng coincided with each other.
"also."
Xu Qingluo agreed, and the two of them simply prepared some egg noodles. After eating and drinking, Xu Qingluo felt a little sleepy.
Zhou Yuheng cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen.
Then he went into the room to accompany Xu Qingluo for a nap. Zhou Yuheng slept for half an hour and then went to the army.
When Xu Qingluo woke up, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
There was a knock on the door, Xu Qingluo went to open it, and it was the political commissar's wife.
"Aunt Yan."
"Captain Zhou's wife, I made some pickles myself."
"I'm going to get some for you."
When Xu Qingluo heard that Aunt Yan was here to deliver something to her, she quickly asked Aunt Yan to come in and talk.
Aunt Yan waved her hand and refused.
"I won't go in."
"This is for you. I also need to send some to Captain Zhang's home."
Aunt Yan is a kind-hearted person and she usually grows her own vegetables.
Or if I make pickles myself, I will share the extra ones with everyone to try.
"Aunt Yan, I'm really sorry for costing you so much."
Xu Qingluo quickly took out two fruit candies from his pocket and placed them in Aunt Yan's hand.
"Take this candy and sweeten your mouth."
"Ouch! Captain Zhou's wife, what are you doing?"
"I don't accept gifts!"
When Aunt Yan saw her take out two candies for herself, she quickly waved her hand to refuse, with panic in her eyes.
Her husband, Mr. Yan, is the political commissar, and as the political commissar's wife, she cannot accept gifts!
If this were seen by others, it would bring disaster to her husband, Mr. Yan.
"Aunt Yan, I carry this candy with me to eat anytime."
"What's polite or not?"
"If you bring me pickles, I'll give you two candies to sweeten your mouth."
"As military wives, we can only be united if we interact with each other."
Xu Qingluo was so aware, and his words really touched Aunt Yan's heart.
"That's right. As military wives, we must unite as one."
Aunt Yan really didn't expect that although Xu Qingluo was young, he had such a high level of awareness!
Since Captain Zhou’s wife has this awareness, Captain Zhou’s future will definitely not be bad.
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore."
"I'm going to take some pickles to Captain Zhang's wife."
As soon as Aunt Yan finished speaking, the door of Captain Zhang's house next door opened.
Xu Qingluo and Aunt Yan spoke loudly.
Captain Zhang's wife (Sun Cuiju) heard it all at home.
I came out and chatted with Aunt Yan and Xu Qingluo.
"Aunt Yan,"
"I heard you talking at home."
Captain Zhang's wife (Sun Cuiju) smiled and took the pickled vegetables from Aunt Yan's hand.
Then he handed the two bags of fried dough twist to Aunt Yan and Xu Qingluo.
"This is the fried dough twist I made yesterday. Aunt Yan and Captain Zhou's wife, take it back and try it."
"Captain Zhang's wife, can you make fried dough twists?"
Xu Qingluo was somewhat curious about the fried dough twists made by Captain Zhang's wife.
The size and length of the ones made by Captain Zhang’s wife are very consistent, and you can tell at a glance that they are professional.
"My dad works in a food factory. I've seen this a lot since I was a kid, so I know how to do it."
Xu Qingluo smiled and nodded when he heard Sun Cuiju's words.
I have been watching this every day since I was a child, no wonder I can do it so well.
“That’s amazing.”
Xu Qingluo couldn't help but praise Captain Zhang's wife.
When Captain Zhang's wife heard her praising her, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"They are just some ordinary food, nothing special."
"Isn't that amazing of you? I can't even figure out how to make home-cooked meals."
Xu Qingluo did not hide her shortcomings in cooking at all.
Captain Zhang's wife had already witnessed her cooking skills on the day she hosted a dinner.
In fact, Captain Zhou’s wife’s cooking skills are quite good, but she just doesn’t know how to cook many dishes.
Captain Zhou’s wife has only been married for half a year. As time goes by, she will naturally understand more.
After she got married, she figured it out on her own.
"Captain Zhou's wife, you may not know this, but Captain Zhang's wife can cook these dishes."
“The taste of this is no different from the ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperatives.”
Aunt Yan has a special say in this regard.
After all, she was shocked when she first tasted the food sent by Captain Zhang's wife.
I know how to make fried dough twists myself. I wonder how much money I can save.
"Aunt, please stop teasing me."
When Captain Zhang's wife heard Aunt Yan following Xu Qingluo in praising her, her face turned red.
"What do you mean by teasing you?"
"Good is good, bad is bad."
"I don't tell lies."
Aunt Yan's face was full of determination. She really thought that Captain Zhang's wife had good cooking skills.
Even if it is not good, she will not say it is bad because she is grateful to the person for doing the favor. At most she will just say one sentence.
"not bad."
