The next day when Wen Nuan returned home from get off work, she saw a strange figure in front of the yard gate.
When I got closer, I realized it was Chen Meijiao, the daughter-in-law of Aunt Zhang who had caused trouble in the cafeteria yesterday. She was holding something in her hands. What was she doing here
As far as I can remember, Wen Nuan was just an acquaintance of her. She had met her before when she went to Sister Juxiang's house. She was pregnant at that time.
Although she was a little confused, Wen Nuan still walked towards the door and greeted her first: "Comrade Chen?"
When Chen Meijiao saw Wen Nuan coming home, she bit her lip lightly before mustering up the courage to greet him: "Comrade Wen."
Then Chen Meijiao paused and handed Wen Nuan the red eggs and some candy she had brought: "I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday, please don't take it personally."
Wen Nuan looked at the two red eggs she handed over and said, "Why don't we go inside and talk about it? It will be windy at night."
Chen Meijiao had just given birth to a child not long ago, so it was better for her not to be exposed to the wind at this moment.
Chen Meijiao nodded, "Sorry to bother you then."
Then he followed Wen Nuan into the yard and into the living room.
Wen Nuan put the child down from her back and saw that Le Le was not crying. Then she poured Chen Meijiao a cup of hot tea: "Have some tea first."
Chen Meijiao had been waiting outside for a while, so her hands were a little cold. Now she touched the edge of the quilt and felt warm. She said in one breath, "Comrade Wen, I'm really sorry about what my mother-in-law did yesterday. I don't know why she said that. My mother-in-law was afraid that I would lose my job, so she did such a rude thing. The quartermaster also came to see me today and told me not to worry about the canteen work. It's just that my mother-in-law said some bad things to you yesterday, I hope you don't take it to heart."
Chen Meijiao kept a low profile and spoke very gently, which made Wen Nuan feel embarrassed. Besides, the person who caused trouble yesterday was Aunt Zhang, and actually had nothing to do with Chen Meijiao.
If anyone wants to apologize, it should be Aunt Zhang who comes over to apologize.
I guess Chen Meijiao didn't want her mother-in-law to cause such a scene in the canteen. After all, she would have to go to the canteen and go back to work, and those people were all familiar faces.
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as the matter is clarified, the quartermaster will not say it casually. If he says he will let you go back to work, he will definitely keep his word. You don't have to worry."
Chen Meijiao nodded, glanced at Wen Nuan, and then said, "Please accept these eggs and candy, otherwise I will feel bad."
Wen Nuan glanced at the red eggs and candies, then pushed them back: "You just gave birth to a child, keep them to nourish your body, you don't need these things."
"No, I'll feel really bad if you don't accept it." Then, Chen Meijiao pushed the thing over again.
The two of them pushed and shoved back and forth for a few times, and Wen Nuan simply picked up a red egg: "How about this, I'll take one red egg, and you can take the others back."
I heard that some people give red eggs to close relatives or neighbors after they have a baby. Before, when she went to Sister Juxiang's house, she heard that Chen Meijiao gave her one.
But she can’t take the candies anymore. Chen Meijiao looks even weaker than her. She can’t take the candies anymore.
Chen Meijiao wanted to say something else, but Gu Qinghan had already returned home. Seeing Gu Qinghan's expressionless face, she felt embarrassed to stay any longer.
However, looking at the cold Gu Qinghan, after nodding to her, he actually washed his hands first, then took the child from his warm arms and teased her.
It turns out that behind that cold expression, there is actually a loving father.
Then Gu Qinghan added more hot tea to Wen Nuan's cup. Wen Nuan smiled at him, and Gu Qinghan also looked at her lovingly and smiled.
Even without any physical movements, it can be seen that the two of them have an indescribable intimacy.
Chen Meijiao recalled that her husband Zhang Zhibin seemed to have never interacted with the children like this, nor had he ever smiled at her like this.
Even when she was in confinement, the area where she had her episiotomy was still painful, so she asked him to hold the crying baby. Unexpectedly, he said, "I don't know how to comfort a child, hold it yourself." Then, he thought the baby was crying too noisily and went out to sleep in the living room.
Thinking of this, Chen Meijiao suddenly felt a little sad.
I don’t know if it was a wrong choice to go against my parents and insist on marrying Zhang Zhibin.
Zhang Zhibin was too ambitious and had high expectations but low skills. Before he got married, he said he must pass the exam to join the Air Force. However, he failed the exam and lost the project he was most familiar with.
She had no opinions of her own on small matters, and was even more cowardly and timid when it came to their marriage. Knowing that her parents were against it, he never went to her house to look for her parents from beginning to end. She had been fighting all by herself.
She thought that after marriage, he would change and be more down-to-earth, but reality slapped her hard in the face.
She also used to think that all men should be similar.
After getting married, whose family isn't a mess
However, now she is not sure.
Chen Meijiao came back to her senses and found that Wen Nuan had been looking at her, so she smiled awkwardly: "It's a bit late, I have to go back first."
Wen Nuan walked her to the gate of the yard and said to her, "Thank you for the eggs. You should go home and see your children as soon as possible."
The child is still so young, he should be watched and fed often.
Hearing Wen Nuan say this, Chen Meijiao said woodenly, "Well, I'll go back first then."
After seeing Chen Meijiao off, Gu Qinghan, holding the child, also walked out the door and asked, "What is she doing here?"
"I came here because of what happened yesterday." Wen Nuan closed the yard door, then released the chicks from the chicken coop and let them run around in the yard.
When the little girl saw the chicks running all over the ground again, she was so excited that she wanted to go down to the field again, and asked Gu Qinghan to hold her hand to chase the fluffy chicks.
Gu Qinghan said "Oh" and asked again: "Her mother-in-law didn't come?"
Although Gu Qinghan was not present yesterday, he asked others when he returned to the group today. What happened yesterday was actually caused by Chen Meijiao's mother-in-law. Even if an apology was needed, she should come here to apologize. What's the point of having a woman who just gave birth running in and out
Wen Nuan threw a handful of feed onto the ground in the yard and continued, "No, I guess those people don't think they did anything wrong."
Then Wen Nuan added: "But this has nothing to do with Chen Meijiao. She seems quite kind."
But I feel like she may not have much status at home.
Wen Nuan didn't go to Sister Juxiang's house very often, but even in those few times, she heard Aunt Zhang scold Chen Meijiao several times.
Moreover, it is a bit too much to ask Chen Meijiao, who had just finished her confinement, to go back to work in the cafeteria just for a job. It's not like she didn't have maternity leave.
If it was an office job, it would be fine, but Wen Nuan has been working in the cafeteria for a while. Her job is easy enough, but she is still exhausted, not to mention the people in the logistics kitchen, whose workload is estimated to be even greater.
Gu Qinghan held the little guy's hands and walked around in the yard. When he heard Wen Nuan say this, he smiled and said, "You see, everyone is kind."
Wen Nuan looked over and couldn't help but smile: "Chen Meijiao's body is still so weak, it's good enough that she brought us two eggs and some sugar."
Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows and said nothing more. Then he pulled Lele to her side and pecked her on the cheek.
Wen Nuan subconsciously looked outside the yard, fearing that she would be seen by others, but fortunately, everyone should be eating at this time.
Then she sat on the small wooden stool at the doorstep and watched Gu Qinghan dragging the little guy around the yard to chase the chicks, scaring the chicks so much that they ran everywhere.
Wen Nuan couldn't help but remind her, "Don't let her scare my chickens away. They haven't finished their feed yet."
The more the little guy talked to her, the more excited she became. She held Gu Qinghan's fingers tightly with her little fingers, walked very fast, and kept laughing.
Gu Qinghan didn't care about her and even pulled her to walk faster. The two of them, both big and small, were so childish.
Wen Nuan said unhappily, "Gu Wanyue, you're going to step on chicken shit!"
Gu Qinghan smiled indulgently.
*
Chen Meijiao returned home and saw Aunt Zhang sitting at the dining table with an unhappy look on her face, holding her daughter in one hand, whose face was red from crying.
Aunt Zhang frowned and looked over: "Why did you take so long? It's just to deliver some eggs. If someone didn't know, they would think you were going to Beijing!"
As he said this, he picked up the crying child and handed it to her.
Chen Meijiao put down the candies and eggs in her hands, took the child, and said, "I talked to Comrade Wen, but she didn't want our candies."
Aunt Zhang wanted to say something, but after hearing what Chen Meijiao said, she opened the bag and took a look. Her expression became better.
In fact, she did not want to offend that warmth. After all, her husband was a regimental-level cadre. Not only did he get a place for his sister to join the army, he also found a job in the canteen for his wife, a job that everyone was vying for in the Air Force Kitchen.
So when Aunt Zhang saw Chen Meijiao holding the eggs and saying she wanted to apologize to Wen Nuan, she hardened her heart and took out the candies she had hidden during the Spring Festival and asked Chen Meijiao to deliver them.
She took out the egg, thought for a moment, and placed it in front of Chen Meijiao: "Eat this egg. It will nourish your body."
Chen Meijiao looked at the egg, hesitated for a moment, then picked it up and carried the child into the room.
But after a while, Aunt Zhang came in again. She never knocked on the door every time, and Chen Meijiao was so annoyed that she didn't want to say anything more.
She lay sideways to feed the child.
Aunt Zhang watched her breastfeeding, and then said, "I asked you to stop breastfeeding before, but you refused. Wouldn't it be good if you could stop breastfeeding early and go back to work? Anyway, you have your mother at home to help you take care of the child, so what are you worried about?"
Chen Meijiao frowned: "Mom, the quartermaster said that I can take two months of maternity leave, please stop talking about it. I will rest for another month before going back to work."
Aunt Zhang frowned, wiped the chest of drawers with a dirty black rag, and said, "Actually, the work in the canteen is tiring. You could have asked Lao Si to take your place, but you refused."
The fourth brother Aunt Zhang mentioned is Chen Meijiao's brother-in-law. He came to the army to celebrate the Spring Festival and now refuses to go back to his hometown.
Now it seems that I still want to stay here.
Chen Meijiao looked over and said, "The canteen job can't be replaced, mom, you don't have to say anything."
Aunt Zhang grumbled a few times, and when she saw Chen Meijiao and the child lying down on the bed, she got angry: "You had a chance to tell your quartermaster yesterday, but you insisted on being silent! Now look, people who don't know will think I'm being unreasonable."
"It's good that you know that you are being unreasonable. Please don't make things difficult for me in the future, okay?" As she said this, Chen Meijiao burst into tears out of grievance.
I had just coaxed the baby in my arms, but she suddenly started crying and started crying again.
When Chen Meijiao heard the child crying, she wiped her tears and began to coax the child in a low voice.
Zhang Zhibin had just returned home when he heard his wife crying. Just as he was about to go to the room to check, Aunt Zhang came out and pulled him back to the living room.
Zhang Zhibin frowned: "What's wrong?"
Aunt Zhang pounded her chest and sighed, "It's all my fault. I made your wife angry. It's all my fault. If you want to blame someone, just blame me!"
Zhang Zhibin threw his hat on the table: "What are you arguing about all day long?"
Before Zhang Zhibin walked into the room, there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, it turned out to be Deng Juxiang from next door.
Sister Juxiang looked into the room and asked, "Is Meijiao here? I made some soup and brought her a bowl."
Zhang Zhibin wanted to refuse, but Chen Meijiao suddenly came out of the room holding the child and said to Sister Juxiang, "Sister-in-law, I'm here, come in."
Sister Juxiang carried the soup and followed Chen Meijiao into the room, then closed the door for her: "What's wrong? I seemed to hear you crying just now."
Chen Meijiao shook her head: "It's okay, the child just cried a little too hard."
Sister Juxiang put the soup on the table beside the bed and said, "This is the traditional soup that Xiaonuan and I learned to make. It's made with bones and is very fragrant. You can try it."
"Comrade Wen Nuan? I just came back from her place." Chen Meijiao knew that Wen Nuan had come to deliver something to Sister Juxiang before, and she was really a very easy-going person.
Then Chen Meijiao told the story of yesterday again, and finally sighed: "Fortunately, Comrade Wen Nuan did not blame me, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
Sister Juxiang patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. Sister Xiaonuan is not someone who doesn't know right from wrong. This has nothing to do with you. Don't listen to your mother-in-law. You just got out of confinement. Why are you working so hard? The quartermaster asked you to take a two-month break. So take a good two-month break."
Chen Meijiao nodded: "Yes, I understand."
Sister Juxiang looked at Chen Meijiao, whose eyes were obviously red, and comforted her: "Don't think too much. If you have anything, tell me. Don't keep it in your heart, okay?"
"Well, thank you, sister-in-law."
*
The next day, when Wen Nuan came home from get off work, she saw sister-in-law Juxiang coming over, saying she was there to help look after Lele.
The little guy saw that the warmth had returned.
Wen Nuan gradually adapted to the work in the kitchen.
Sometimes when Gu Qinghan's flight mission is not heavy, she will take Lele with her to work. If Gu Qinghan is particularly busy, Wen Nuan will leave the child to Sister Guihua to help take care of him.
Little boy Lele can finally walk by himself, but his walking is not very steady, he is always stumbling and a little impatient.
So Wen Nuan didn't dare let her run around in the kitchen, for fear that she would interfere with other people's work. Besides, there were all kinds of knives and spatulas in the kitchen, which were quite dangerous.
On this day, Wen Nuan had just finished writing the menu for the next week and went to the kitchen window to help serve meals to the aircrews.
Because there were not many people in the air crew, Wen Nuan was busy for half an hour, and the rest of the training was handed over to other colleagues in the cafeteria.
Gu Qinghan happened to be free today, so he came over at four o'clock in the afternoon and took the little guy to his office. He had just had dinner with Lele in the cafeteria.
Old Zhong over there had already seen Gu Qinghan holding a little girl in the canteen waiting for Wen Nuan, so when Wen Nuan was about to wash the pot, he took the broom from her hand and said, "You're off work, why are you still staying in the kitchen? Go away, don't disturb us."
After saying that, he took a broom and quickly scrubbed the iron pot clean, then put it back into the stove.
Wen Nuan knew that Lao Zhong was just being stubborn. In fact, he also noticed that Gu Qinghan was waiting for her with the child at the other end. However, Wen Nuan still smiled and said, "I am also a member of the kitchen team. This is what I should do."
Old Zhong pursed his lips, still looking like a fried chili pepper, full of anger: "I told you to leave work, so leave work, why are you talking nonsense?"
Seeing this, Xiao Zhu whispered to Wen Nuan, "Comrade Wen, don't mind it. Our squad leader Zhong is just like that. He just wants you to get off work early. He has no ill intentions. Last time I didn't cut the potato shreds well, he scolded me, but he still stayed after get off work to teach me. He's actually a nice guy, but he's a bit harsh."
Wen Nuan actually knew it, so she smiled and said, "Yeah, I know, I'll leave work first then."
Xiao Zhu nodded: "Yes, Deputy Captain Gu and Lele have been waiting for you for a long time, leave this to us, see you tomorrow."
Because Wen Nuan would occasionally bring Le Le to work, the people in the flight crew kitchen would sometimes play with the child when they were free.
Lele was not a shy person to begin with, and when she saw that Wen Nuan was familiar with them, she became even bolder. Ever since she could walk on her own, she would sometimes pull on other people's trouser legs to get them to hold her.
Who doesn’t like such a cute and well-behaved little dumpling
So in just one month, Lele has become the darling of the flight crew kitchen.
Gu Qinghan, who was walking a little clumsily, took a walk around the cafeteria of the aircrew kitchen. Just as he was about to go to the door to meet Wen Nuan, he ran into Liang Guoan.
Gu Qinghan looked at Liang Guoan holding a lunch box, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Captain Liang, didn't you say you would go home for dinner tonight?"
Most of the members of the flight team are still unmarried young people, and they have four meals a day in the flight crew canteen.
However, Liang Guoan also brought his family to accompany the army. Like him before, as long as there was no training at night, they would basically go home for dinner.
Liang Guoan hadn't seen Gu Qinghan in the cafeteria for several nights in a row and thought he had gone home. Why was he still in the cafeteria with his child at around six o'clock today
He had always wanted to go to Gu Qinghan's house to have a meal, but who knew that this guy never let him in and always ate alone!
Now it's finally all right. Comrade Wen Nuan has finally come to their flight crew canteen. Will they still be worried about not being able to eat the food she cooks in the future? !
He met Gu Qinghan's smiling eyes, hid the lunch box behind him, and then sneered: "Didn't you forget to tell my wife that there is no need to train tonight? I came here to eat since there is no food cooked at home. What? You are allowed to eat in the cafeteria, but I can't, right?"
Gu Qinghan looked at him and said "Oh" faintly: "Is that so."
Liang Guoan touched his nose and asked, "What are you doing in the cafeteria so late?"
Gu Qinghan turned his gaze towards the figure walking towards the cafeteria and said with a smile, "Wait for my wife to get off work."
After saying that, he pulled the clattering little fellow towards Wen Nuan.
Liang Guoan: “…”
If he had known that he would have to eat dog food before this flight attendant meal, he would not have come!
Wen Nuan also walked over quickly, and when she saw Liang Guoan coming over to eat, she said, "Captain Liang, Xiao Zhu just asked me why you didn't come so late tonight. He has saved a dinner for you. It's so late, go eat first."
Liang Guoan met Gu Qinghan's half-smiley expression and didn't want to pay attention to him. "Then I'll eat first. Bye."
Compared to delicious food, face is nothing!
As soon as Liang Guoan left, Lele broke free from Gu Qinghan's hand, stepped forward with her little feet and rushed towards Wen Nuan, then took a few steps, but because she walked too fast, she almost fell down.
Fortunately, Wen Nuan grabbed her and prevented her from falling to the ground.
Wen Nuan picked up the little girl, kissed her chubby face, and said with a smile: "Don't leave so hastily next time. You will regret it if you drop your teeth."
Wen Nuan was a little anxious tonight, so she didn't help Le Le with her hair. However, she had a few small hairpins on her head, which were bought by Gu Qinglan for her before. There were pink and red ones, and there were three of them in total.
But all three were pinned crookedly, and two of the clips almost fell off.
The hair on the back of her head was a little messy. I don’t know if it was because Gu Qinghan let her sleep in the office again. The child’s hair had grown a little fast in the past two months, and now the hair on the back of her head had reached the base of her neck.
Lele was wearing a pink floral blouse to avoid getting her clothes dirty when eating, but it was a little wet on her chest. She was wearing the small shoes Wen Nuan had made for her before, but they didn't seem to fit her feet anymore, as they were quite suitable when they were made.
After the little guy was picked up by Wen Nuan, he reached out and hugged her neck, and called in her ear in a baby voice: "Mommy... hug..."
"Be good, have you eaten enough tonight? Did you make any trouble in your father's office?" Wen Nuan took off the hairpin on the child's head, then pinned it back on her, and smoothed the hair on the back of her head.
The little girl didn't like people playing with her head, and then she shook her head and touched the place where she was going to re-pin the clips. Her little hand had already pulled one of them off, and there were two soft hairs stuck on the clip, which were obviously pulled out by her.
Perhaps feeling the pain in his scalp, the little guy buried his head in the warm shoulder with a look of grievance, and his dark eyes instantly became moist.
Wen Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Who told you to be so lame? Don't do that next time."
As he said that, he turned his face to the side, blew gently twice on the place where Lele was pulled and hurt, and comforted her: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, let's go home."
Gu Qinghan curled his lips slightly, watching Wen Nuan interacting with the child. He noticed a hair fell on Wen Nuan's shoulder, and then reached out to help her take it off.
Wen Nuan then turned to look at Gu Qinghan and asked him with a smile: "Did you have enough tonight? Is it troublesome to take care of Lele?"
The little girl can walk now, but she doesn't walk very steadily and falls occasionally, so I have to keep an eye on her all the time, sometimes even when she eats.
"It's okay. She was sitting and eating just now, and I ate a little too." Gu Qinghan saw Wen Nuan holding the child and wanted to reach out and take the child so that she could have a rest after a busy day.
But I don’t know if Lele hurt his head just now, because he was hugging the warm neck and refused to let go, pouting with a wronged look on his face.
"Let's go home." Wen Nuan held Lele and walked out of the cafeteria, and Gu Qinghan followed them.
When I walked out of the canteen of the flight crew kitchen, I met many military wives from the ground crew kitchen and the logistics kitchen.
When everyone saw Gu Qinghan waiting for Wen Nuan to get off work again, they couldn't help but joked to Wen Nuan: "This deputy group leader Gu really loves his wife. He comes to the cafeteria every day to wait for Comrade Wen to get off work."
Someone laughed and said, "Why is it that Comrade Wen Nuan is the most blessed woman in our family compound? The two of them go to work and come home together every day. We are so envious of them."
There are quite a few military wives from family compounds working in the logistics kitchen, but they have all been working in the kitchen for several years, and no man has ever come to the cafeteria to take over their shift.
Wen Nuan is the first one, who wouldn’t envy her secretly
Especially since Gu Qinghan is good-looking, he is not only the most experienced pilot in the flight team, but also the youngest regimental-level cadre in the entire family compound.
He was awarded the second-class merit not long ago. It won’t be long before he will be promoted further. He has a bright future.
Wen Nuan has been in the kitchen for nearly a month. Although she greets the wives of soldiers from the other two canteens, they are not particularly close.
Hearing their jokes, his face heated up, he glanced at Gu Qinghan who showed no emotion, and smiled: "Excuse me, sisters-in-law. I'm leaving get off work first. See you tomorrow."
Several sisters-in-law watched the two of them riding their bicycles towards home, and lowered their heads and whispered, "It turns out that the bicycle was bought by Deputy Head Gu specifically for Wen Nuan to ride to work. Oh, there's really no comparison."
When they bought new bicycles, everyone thought they were going to use them for something, but it turned out they just rode them to go to and from get off work every day.
A group of people envied her: "Wen Nuan really married a good man. My man doesn't even have to pick me up from get off work. I don't have to work when I get home. Every night when I get home from get off work, I have to wash their dishes and I have to help them pour water for washing their feet. Damn it, why can't I marry such a good man?"
Everyone laughed and said, "If you were as good-looking as Comrade Wen Nuan, you would probably be able to find a good man like him."
"That's right. I heard that when Deputy Commander Gu was in the provincial army, he was liked by many outstanding female comrades, including those from the art troupe, nurses and doctors in the military hospital, but in the end, the one who looked good was the best."
"It may be that the woman took the initiative to throw herself into his arms."
After that, everyone looked at Li Qiuyan who was squatting in the corner washing dishes. Someone remembered that she had served in the Southern Province Army before, so they asked: "Qiuyan, do you know anything? It seems that you and Deputy Commander Gu were in the same army before, right?"
Just as he finished speaking, a tall figure appeared behind the sisters-in-law. Lao Zhong was standing at the back kitchen door of the flight crew kitchen holding a kitchen knife. The sisters-in-law were so scared that the plates in their hands dropped to the ground with a clang.
Li Qiuyan's face turned pale, and she hesitated, "I, I just said it casually."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the canteen of the logistics kitchen, fearing that Lao Zhong would come over with a knife.
Seeing that the wives of the soldiers were silent, Old Zhong snorted, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen people sharpening knives?"
As he spoke, he really rubbed the knife a few times on the grindstone at the door.
As soon as Lao Zhong left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't listen to that Li Qiuyan's nonsense. She went to ask Deputy Head Gu to help her, but he didn't help her. She probably holds a grudge against him."
"That's right, the political commissar just gave us a lesson, so we should stop talking about others behind their backs."
Especially now that Wen Nuan is working in the flight crew kitchen, who wouldn’t be afraid of Old Zhong
*
The weather in the early spring in the north city is fickle. The temperature has slowly risen in recent days, and all the snow in the family yard has melted, except for some snow on the mountain.
However, the weather here is very dry, so Wen Nuan has to apply a thick layer of face cream on herself and Le Le every day.
After Wen Nuan got up and washed today, she immediately applied some face cream.
After applying it, she saw Gu Qinghan coming back from washing the baby's diapers, so she waved at him and said, "Come here, I'll put some vanishing cream on you."
Gu Qinghan frowned, and when Wen Nuan's hand was about to touch his face, he dodged and said, "Can you not apply it during the day? It smells too good."
Every time Wen Nuan puts makeup on his face at night, she would apply it on him and then also put some on the child.
But it’s okay to apply it at night. After waking up and wiping your face, the smell of the vanishing cream is almost gone.
If I apply it now and go back to the flight team smelling delicious, Liang Guoan and his family will probably laugh at me.
Wen Nuan frowned, feeling that the weather was even drier than winter, but after hearing what Gu Qinghan said, she let it go.
But the vanishing cream was a bit oily. Wen Nuan looked at the greasy layer on her palm and waved to Gu Qinghan, "Come here."
Then he rubbed the greasy layer on the palm of his hand onto the back of Gu Qinghan's hand.
"Okay, let's get ready to go out." Wen Nuan smiled, then picked up the little guy who was still sleeping and sent him to Sister Guihua's house.
Gu Qinghan said that there would be strong winds in the next few days. Wen Nuan thought that there were many sandstorms in March and April, so she didn't plan to take the children to the cafeteria.
When he went to the cafeteria with Gu Qinghan, he suddenly said, "By the way, you were already asleep when I came back last night. I forgot to tell you that Liu Huaqing's parents have arrived at our unit, but they are not free for the time being. They will probably come to our place when the time comes."
Wen Nuan almost forgot about this. During the Chinese New Year, Liu Huaqing's parents sent two chickens and said in a letter that they would come over after the New Year.
So Wen Nuan only killed one chicken and kept the other one to be killed when they came to entertain them.
I didn't expect it would take so long for you to come. It seems that the work at the institute is really very busy.
Wen Nuan said "hmm", then grabbed the corner of Gu Qinghan's clothes and said, "Then remember to tell me in advance so that I can wash my hair before entertaining others."
"What does this have to do with washing your hair?"
Wen Nuan curled her lips, "You don't understand."
This is the highest etiquette for entertaining guests.
Gu Qinghan didn't ask. After sending Wen Nuan to the cafeteria, he had breakfast with her and then went back to the group for a meeting.
Not long after returning to the canteen of the flight crew kitchen, a strong wind blew outside, and then rolling yellow sand came, covering the entire north city.
The quartermaster came back from outside and brushed off the yellow sand on his body. "Why did the weather suddenly become like this? I thought there were enemy spies coming to release smoke bombs."
Then he walked into the kitchen, called the kitchen comrades, and held a small meeting: "Due to the sudden attack of the sandstorm, the flight team may be busy. We need to deliver lunch to the training ground at noon."
Then the quartermaster arranged some people to deliver the meals, and some people stayed here to cook.
Wen Nuan was not assigned a position, so she took the initiative to walk up and said, "Chief Steward, what can I do?"
The quartermaster paused, and seeing that Wen Nuan didn't bring her children with her today, he said, "Comrade Wen, you are a good cook, and there happen to be two experts from the flight team, so you can be the cook today."
When Wen Nuan heard this, she guessed that the two experts the quartermaster was talking about were probably the parents of Liu Huaqing that Gu Qinghan had just mentioned.
So without hesitation, I got busy immediately.
However, the sandstorm seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Wen Nuan thought that there was a chicken coop behind the flight crew kitchen where chickens and geese were raised, so she went out.
As soon as she opened the door, Wen Nuan was blown by the huge storm so hard that she couldn't open her eyes.
When we finally got to the chicken coop, we saw Li Qiuyan stealthily taking something from the ground and stuffing it into her clothes.
