Lele clearly went to bed the earliest last night, but when Wen Nuan woke up, the child was still sleeping soundly.
Commander Lu’s small building had sufficient heating, so I slept there for two nights and it was warm without feeling cold.
I guess little Lele was too excited after playing yesterday. In addition, the house was warm and the curtains were thick to block out the light, so he slept particularly long this time.
Moreover, Lele hardly changed his posture last night. Now he just raised his little hands high above his head. Except for one leg being bent, he looked relatively gentle.
Wen Nuan was about to get up to prepare breakfast, but suddenly she found that Gu Qinghan was holding her waist tightly. It was not very convenient for her to sleep in the middle of the bed.
She turned sideways and looked at the handsome face of the man who was sleeping peacefully. She was a little annoyed that he had stayed up too late last night, but now seeing his face, she suddenly couldn't get angry anymore.
The next second, the man opened his eyes. Wen Nuan felt like she was being caught, but she still smiled and said, "You were drunk again last night!"
Gu Qinghan seldom drinks. Wen Nuan has only seen him drink two or three times, but he was drunk twice.
Although he seemed no different when drunk than usual, and even almost exactly the same as when sober, but...
The pain in her waist and legs reminded her that this man was drunk last night, and his behavior in that aspect was completely different. Wen Nuan couldn't help blushing just thinking about it.
The man only said "hmm" softly, "Yes, a little bit."
After saying that, he pulled his wife back and whispered in her ear: "Grandpa drank more than me, so he probably didn't wake up that early. Let's continue to sleep for a while."
Wen Nuan was thinking that Uncle Zhao would be on vacation for the next two days and wouldn't be there to help with breakfast, so she planned to get up early.
However, after hearing what Gu Qinghan said, she also decided to stay in bed for a while and decided to lie down for another half an hour before getting up.
But this time, Wen Nuan actually stayed in bed until half past nine. When she woke up, Le Le was sitting on her little pillow, concentrating on opening the red envelope she had given her last night...
When Wen Nuan saw the bed full of red confetti, she couldn't sleep anymore and quickly reached out to stop the little guy from destroying the red envelopes.
"Le Le, don't open the red envelopes in ** next time."
Originally, Wen Nuan planned to wait until the Lantern Festival to open the red envelopes with her, but she didn't expect the child to open the red envelopes by herself, and the red envelopes became a bed of confetti.
Seeing that Wen Nuan had finally woken up, Le Le excitedly took the few big unity notes that she had just opened and handed them to her with a smile: "Mom, money."
Wen Nuan looked at the big unity notes in the child's hand and guessed that they were given by her great-grandfather. If the largest denomination was not ten yuan now, he would probably have given the child more.
Wen Nuan took the money from the child with a smile and said to her, "Then mom will put the money away for you, and Lele will pick up the scraps of paper."
The child is young, so we definitely cannot give her money. Fortunately, she doesn't have the consciousness of asking for money yet, so we let her keep the New Year's money for now.
When the kids grow up...
Forget it, let’s talk about it when I grow up.
Lele watched Wen Nuan take the money, with a moment's confusion on her face, but when she saw Wen Nuan get off the bed, she reached out and began to pick up the torn red papers one by one and put them on the desk next to the bed.
When Gu Qinghan opened the door and came into the room, he saw the child picking up the scraps of paper one by one.
Lele heard the door open, stood up, and shouted with a smile: "Dad, look at me."
"I put the papers away."
Gu Qinghan watched the child point to a pile of red confetti on the table next to her and knew that the little girl had opened the New Year's red envelope while her mother was sleeping.
Gu Qinghan walked over and asked with a smile: "Le Le is so well behaved? Where's your money?"
Lele turned his head and pointed at Wen Nuan who was combing her hair and said, "It's for mom."
Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's fine, let mom keep it for you first."
As he spoke, Gu Qinghan walked towards his wife, and seeing that she was combing her hair, he hugged her waist from behind, then rested his chin on her shoulder and asked, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Wen Nuan hissed in pain and rolled her eyes at him: "Get out of here! You're pressing on my hair!"
Then he kicked him and said, "What time is it? You woke up by yourself and didn't call me. Is Grandpa up yet?"
For some reason, Wen Nuan felt as if she had done something wrong and wanted to get up early so that no one would find out that she slept late last night.
Gu Qinghan looked innocent. After letting his wife go, he touched his nose and said, "It's up."
Then he added: "I just woke up, too. I've already cooked the dumplings. You can have breakfast after you wash up."
Wen Nuan said "Oh" and then asked, "Grandpa said he would take us to the Forbidden City today. Let's go there early after we eat."
On the evening of their arrival, Commander Lu mentioned several places for her to choose from, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace. Wen Nuan hadn't decided yet, but considering that her grandfather would be busy the next day, she decided to go to the Forbidden City.
When they came to the north city from their hometown, they stayed in Beijing for only one night and did not have the opportunity to see the most famous building in Beijing.
It happened to be snowing these two days, so it might be more suitable to go to the Forbidden City. Although she had been to the Forbidden City in her previous life, she had never been there when it was snowing.
Gu Qinghan handed Wen Nuan a hairband and said, "Grandpa has prepared the camera. Let's set off after eating dumplings."
"Then we have to hurry." Wen Nuan took a look at the black hairband that Gu Qinghan handed to her, then rejected it with disgust. She took out a red hairband with white floral patterns from Lele's pile of hairpins, and pinned it on her half-tied ponytail.
The troops in Jing City are relatively more refined than those in Beicheng. Everyone in the troops has braids or short hair, and their clothes are relatively simple.
However, Wen Nuan has observed over the past two days that lesbians in Beijing tend to wear brighter colors, and a small number of them even perm their hair and apply oil.
Wen Nuan thought about the photo shoot she was going to take today, so she let half of her hair down, hoping that the photo would look better.
"Mom, I want to braid my hair beautifully, too!" The little girl came running over at some point, hugging her warm thighs and wanting her to help her braid her hair.
Wen Nuan saw that she didn't even have shoes on, so she picked her up and put her on a chair beside her, saying, "Okay, Mom will braid your hair into a pretty braid and put some pretty hairpins on Lele."
Lele clapped her hands happily: "I want to be as pretty as my mom!"
Then she struggled to get up from the chair and said, "I want to choose it myself."
Wen Nuan was amused even more by the child. She took the comb beside her and combed her hair neatly. Then she braided her hair into two small braids and pinned them with hairpins of her own choice.
This is not the end yet. The little guy pointed to a mirror on the wall and said to Wen Nuan: "Mom, I want to look in the mirror."
Wen Nuan pinched the little guy's chubby face and said with a smile, "I've never seen a child as conceited as you. Let your daddy take you to see him. Mommy has to brush her teeth."
Wen Nuan then winked at Gu Qinghan and asked him to bring the child over to look at the mirror so that she could admire her beauty.
Gu Qinghan saw that Wen Nuan was wearing a red scarf, which made her skin look even whiter. With her hair half loose, she looked a little more playful than usual.
He picked up Lele who kept calling "Daddy, Daddy" and said uncomfortably, "Your mom looks so pretty today."
Lele tilted his head and looked at his father, then asked, "What about Lele?"
Gu Qinghan held the child in his arms, pointed at her in the mirror, and said, "Our Lele is so cute, the cutest child."
Gu Qinghan usually heard Wen Nuan talking to children like this, so he followed suit.
Gu Qinghan thought that one look was enough for the little guy, but Lele suddenly said angrily: "No, Lele is pretty too!"
"LeLe is beautiful!"
Gu Qinghan: “…”
No wonder your mother says you are vain.
*
After eating dumplings, Shen Chuanshan from last night also came over and said he planned to visit the Forbidden City with them.
Commander Lu looked at his old comrade and said with disdain: "I'm not saying anything, you don't know how many times you've been there, right? And you're joining in the fun. Are you coming here just to disturb us?"
When Shen Chuanshan heard his old comrade say this, he hurriedly said, "How can you talk about people like that? I am just being a good host and plan to take Xiao Nuan and Qing Han to visit the Forbidden City."
Commander Lu felt even more jealous when he heard Shen Chuanshan calling his granddaughter and grandson-in-law so intimately. If someone didn't know, they would have thought Xiao Nuan was his granddaughter!
Commander Lu originally wanted to ask his comrades to come over to bother them, but Wen Nuan said, "It will be more fun with more people. After visiting the Forbidden City, we can go to shabu-shabu together."
Commander Lu now believed in what Wen Nuan said, so he stopped talking and a group of people set off towards the Forbidden City.
Commander Lu held the little guy Lele in his arms all the way. When Lele first came to Beijing, he was only a few months old and knew nothing.
After arriving in the North City, she hadn't been to any other places except the town, so when she saw the city buildings and the quaint ancient buildings passing by outside the window, she was so excited that she couldn't bear to blink.
Commander Lu introduced the names of these places to her along the way. Although it was only Lucheng, which took about 20 minutes, Commander Lu almost drooled from talking so much.
When they arrived near the Forbidden City, Commander Lu asked her with a smile: "Does our Lele want to stay here?"
Lele didn't even think about it and just smiled and said, "Yes, it's so beautiful here."
Listening to the child's words, Commander Lu looked over at Gu Qinghan who was chatting with Wen Nuan over there, "Then let your father work harder and come to Beijing to live with your great grandfather in the future."
Lele looked at Commander Lu with her big black eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, I want to go with my great grandfather."
The little girl's serious and cute look instantly softened Commander Lu's iron heart, and he couldn't help but say to her, "Okay, then Grandpa will be waiting for you to come over."
Wen Nuan took the camera given to her by Commander Lu, studied it with Gu Qinghan for a while, and then took pictures everywhere with the camera.
Although the film is expensive, the scenery of the Forbidden City is so beautiful today that Wen Nuan couldn't help but take a few more pictures.
The Forbidden City is one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. It is also the largest ancient wooden building complex and a masterpiece famous both at home and abroad. Naturally, I had to take a few more photos.
Then she captured the scene of Commander Lu talking to Lele, and also captured the two of them smiling.
Gu Qinghan watched Wen Nuan take so many photos, and then asked, "Do you want me to take photos for you?"
Facing the man's deep, dark eyes, Wen Nuan smiled and said, "I want to take a photo with you."
They only had one photo together, which was taken when they bought the bicycles. After that, they never had the time to take another photo. Now that they had this opportunity, Wen Nuan naturally didn't want to miss it.
After hearing Wen Nuan's words, the smile in Gu Qinghan's eyes became more intense, "Then let's ask grandpa to help take a picture."
Before Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan could go over and ask Commander Lu, a man who was visiting the Forbidden City with them suddenly took over the conversation: "Hello comrade, why don't I help you take the photo?"
Gu Qinghan was the first to glance at the person who suddenly appeared. He saw that he also had a camera hanging around his neck and was dressed very decently. He didn't look like a bad person.
Wen Nuan didn't say anything. With Gu Qinghan there, she didn't need to handle it.
The man suddenly said, "I am an employee of the photography department of Beijing Film Studio. My name is Zhong Zhiguo. Don't worry. I am confident that I can help you take good photos."
Gu Qinghan saw Commander Lu and Lele walking forward, so he handed the camera to Comrade Zhong Zhiguo and said, "It doesn't matter if I take good pictures or not, please help me take better pictures of my wife."
When Wen Nuan heard Gu Qinghan say this, she couldn't help but pinch his palm and said uncomfortably: "How dare you say that!"
Zhong Zhiguo looked at the talented man and beautiful woman, who looked very well matched standing together, and said with a smile: "Comrade, don't worry, your wife is very photogenic and very beautiful."
When Gu Qinghan heard his words, the smile on his face became more obvious. Although they were outside, thinking that this was a group photo, he deliberately stuck close to Wen Nuan and stood beside her.
Zhong Zhiguo took several photos of them in a row, then handed the camera back to Gu Qinghan and said, "We're done."
Gu Qinghan: "Thank you, comrade."
Zhong Zhiguo looked at Wen Nuan, hesitating to speak, but then blurted out, "Comrade, I see you are so good-looking. Our studio is preparing to shoot a movie. I want to ask if you are interested?"
Hearing this, Gu Qinghan subconsciously frowned, but did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Wen Nuan to see what her attitude was.
But Wen Nuan didn't seem to think too much about it and directly refused: "Sorry, I'm not interested."
Zhong Zhiguo was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked persistently: "Well, can I know why?"
Zhong Zhiguo continued to promote his own company, saying: "Our film production studio is also a formal state-owned unit. The movies you make can still be seen in theaters in the future. I am not a liar. I just think your image is very suitable for the big screen, so I took the liberty to bother you."
Zhong Zhiguo spoke very sincerely, and it didn't sound like he was lying. He probably asked Wen Nuan because he really thought she was suitable.
Wen Nuan glanced at the camera hanging around Zhong Zhiguo's neck. It looked quite professional indeed. He was probably taking some framing photos.
Wen Nuan didn't want to waste everyone's time, so she said directly: "I'm really sorry, I'm not very interested in this kind of work, comrade, please find someone else."
Originally Wen Nuan was going to say that she was a military wife, but Gu Qinghan and Commander Lu did not wear military uniforms today, so she did not want to mention it specifically.
The other party is probably not the kind of person who would pester her, but if he really does, she is not afraid, because she has several elites from different troops around her!
Zhong Zhiguo lowered his eyes slightly in disappointment and said, "Oh, okay, sorry to bother you."
Wen Nuan also breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Zhong Zhiguo asked again: "Do you have any sisters or sisters? They should also be suitable."
Wen Nuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sorry, I don't have any brothers or sisters."
At this moment, Lele ran over, hugged the warm thighs, and said, "Mom, take a picture for me!"
Wen Nuan looked down at Xiaotuanzi. She didn't know where she found a tiger-head hat from. She blinked her big eyes and wanted Wen Nuan to take a picture for her.
Wen Nuan asked, "This hat is so cute, where did Le Le get it?"
Lele smiled and pointed at Commander Lu who was not far away: "Grandpa bought it."
Commander Lu was talking to a young man in military uniform. They seemed to have met by chance, so they started chatting.
Lele urged again: "Mom, please help me take a picture."
Wen Nuan took the camera and took several photos of Lele, the conceited little guy. No wonder so many children in the 1970s and 1980s loved to take photos with tiger-head hats on, they were really adorable.
After taking the photos, Lele went back to Commander Lu.
Zhong Zhiguo, who had not left yet, asked curiously, "Comrade, is that your daughter?"
Wen Nuan nodded: "Yes."
Zhong Zhiguo's eyes lit up, "If you don't have a sister, a daughter will do."
warmth:"???"
Gu Qinghan stood in front of Wen Nuan and rejected her directly, "Comrade, you should find someone else."
After saying this, without giving Zhong Zhiguo any chance to speak, he pulled Wen Nuan over to Commander Lu.
Zhong Zhiguo stood there, watching them go away in disappointment.
Later, Wen Nuan took another photo with Commander Lu and asked Deputy Commander Shen to take a family photo for them.
After taking the family portrait, Wen Nuan asked the two old men to stand together and said, "Deputy Commander Shen, Grandpa, let me take a photo for you."
Who would have thought that both of them would say in disgust at the same time: "I won't take a photo with him."
Wen Nuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This kind of opportunity is rare. I don't know if it will come once in ten years. Are you really not going to take the photo?"
These words made the two old men feel a little awkward. Shen Chuanshan straightened his clothes and said, "Since Xiao Nuan asked, I'll give you some face."
Commander Lu had an excuse, so he cleared his throat and said, "It was my granddaughter who called me that, otherwise I wouldn't have taken a photo with you."
Wen Nuan saw the two of them standing together and quickly pressed the shutter button, and the two's proud expressions were frozen in the film.
Just when Wen Nuan finished taking the photo, Le Le suddenly rushed over and said, "Grandpa, I want to take a photo with you guys."
With the addition of the little one, there were naturally more people, so they took another photo, and then asked someone to help take a photo of the two families.
When they came out, Commander Lu suddenly asked Wen Nuan: "Who was that person who took the photo for you just now?"
Unexpectedly, Commander Lu also noticed Zhong Zhiguo, so Wen Nuan told him about the incident and finally said, "I rejected him directly."
Commander Lu smiled and said, "So he is from the film studio."
Wen Nuan: "Later he wanted to find Lele to take the photo."
Commander Lu raised his eyebrows, looked at Lele and smiled, "Really?"
Then he asked Lele: "Does our Lele want to make a movie?"
Lele had no idea what making a movie was, he just thought it was a fun game, so he smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
Gu Qinghan said with a straight face: "Don't think about it. How old are you?"
Commander Lu disagreed and smiled: "That comrade took the initiative to find you to make a movie because he saw that our Lele is cute."
"Our Lele is really cute. Everyone likes him when they see him."
Commander Lu was a little proud when he said this, and after returning to the compound, he showed off to Shen Chuanshan.
Wen Nuan felt embarrassed to listen, so she took Le Le and walked quickly back to the small building.
Gu Qinghan also smiled and said to Wen Nuan: "This is the truth. My dear wife, you are pretty, so I want to find you to make a movie."
This kind of pick-up was different. Gu Qinghan felt a little proud, just like Commander Lu.
However, Gu Qinghan was reluctant to let them go to make a movie.
He has always known how beautiful his wife is, and although he sometimes wants to show off his child's cuteness to others like Commander Lu, Gu Qinghan is still reluctant to let her go to make a movie.
Wen Nuan glanced at him, then asked jokingly, "If that's the case, then I'll go to the film studio to find Comrade Zhong Zhiguo and tell him that I want to make a movie?"
After he finished speaking, Gu Qinghan's smile froze on his face, and then he said with a straight face: "No!"
Then, the man looked at Lele, who was eating red date cake with gusto, and said seriously, "You can't do it either."
Lele thought her father didn't allow her to eat the red date cake, so she quickly stuffed the remaining piece in her hand into her mouth.
Wen Nuan saw that the child's mouth was swollen and was afraid that she would choke, so she hurried over and said, "Silly child, spit it out!"
Lele thought that her parents no longer gave her snacks, so she covered her mouth and tried to run away.
Wen Nuan simply took a hard approach, grabbed her hand, and started digging.
After dealing with Lele, Wen Nuan grabbed Gu Qinghan and slapped him again: "Look at what you have done!"
Gu Qinghan was confused: "???"
It was his fault again
Lele covered her mouth and looked at him with a smile.
*
The next day was the second day of the Chinese New Year, and Wen Nuan knew that Grandpa would start to get busy with his work in the army.
She agreed with Gu Qinghan that she would go to see Chen Meijiao today and return to Beicheng Air Force Base tomorrow.
Commander Lu went back to handle his work, and Wen Nuan also planned to go out to meet Chen Meijiao, and they met at a teahouse in Dongcheng.
Wen Nuan let Le Le stay with Gu Qinghan for a long time, and then said to her: "Mom will not take you out today, you and Dad can play at Grandpa's house for a while."
Lele's expression immediately dropped, and he looked at Wen Nuan pitifully: "I want to go with my mother."
Wen Nuan was just afraid that too many people might not be able to keep an eye on her. There wasn't even any surveillance these days. Lele was now at an age when she was most curious and would run around everywhere. Wen Nuan was worried about taking her out.
Gu Qinghan was also a little worried and originally planned to go with his wife, but Wen Nuan said it was not necessary and her grandfather had arranged a car for her.
Wen Nuan touched the child's head and said with a smile, "When mom comes back, bring Lele some delicious food, okay?"
Seeing that the child turned his head away and ignored her, Wen Nuan asked again: "Mom, buy some candy for Lele? The big rainbow lollipops."
After hearing this, Lele compromised for a moment, but still didn't look at her. She pouted her little mouth and was still throwing a tantrum.
Wen Nuan patiently asked again: "Do you want to buy some chocolate for Le Le?"
Lele pouted, looked at Wen Nuan, and said in a baby voice: "Buy me some toys!"
Wen Nuan kissed her rosy cheeks and said, "Okay, then buy Lele another toy!"
The little guy finally stopped being angry, but reached out to hug the warm neck and kissed her: "Mom, be careful."
Wen Nuan smiled, feeling warm in her heart: "Okay, Mom will be careful."
I thought the child would be in a tantrum for a long time, but after Wen Nuan put her down, Le Le ran straight to the small TV in the living room and said, "Daddy, come quickly. I want to watch TV."
Gu Qinghan glanced at Wen Nuan helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of her."
The little guy on the other end had happily turned on the TV, and Wen Nuan had also gone out. Since they had a car, they soon arrived in East City.
After several months, when she saw Chen Meijiao again, Wen Nuan almost thought she had recognized the wrong person. Not only had Chen Meijiao's skin improved, her hairstyle was different, and even her temperament had changed drastically.
When Chen Meijiao saw Wen Nuan coming towards her, she raised her hand: "Comrade Wen Nuan, I'm here!"
Chen Meijiao hasn't seen Wen Nuan for a long time. She feels that she is very beautiful every time she sees her. Even if she wears simple clothes, she can't be seen in the crowd.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Wen Nuan sat opposite Chen Meijiao, took off the scarf around her neck, and said, "There are too many people here. I almost thought I was in the wrong place."
This is a teahouse near Wangfujing, and it is the Spring Festival, so there are a lot of people here. After Wen Nuan got off the bus, she asked many people for directions before she found this place.
Wen Nuan thought there wouldn't be so many people in this era, but the facts prove that there are always many people at all times.
Chen Meijiao poured her a cup of tea and smiled: "I thought it would take a long time to see you, but I didn't expect you to come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year."
Chen Meijiao only learned about Wen Nuan's life experience when she corresponded with Sister Juxiang not long ago. It turned out that she was the granddaughter of Commander Lu. This was such a coincidence.
Wen Nuan did not hide it and said directly: "Yes, I just met my grandfather and came here to celebrate the New Year with him."
"By the way, Meijiao, how are you now?"
Chen Meijiao talked about what happened after she returned to her parents' home. At the beginning, she felt very inferior. Living in her parents' home as a divorced woman, she was afraid that others would laugh at her parents.
But after talking with her parents all night, Chen Meijiao realized that these were not important. What was important was that her family was willing to accept her and wanted to protect her.
So Chen Meijiao went back to live in her parents' compound. She thought she would be subjected to a lot of rumors, but after she actually went back, she found out that everyone hated domestic violence men and some even advised her to divorce as soon as possible.
Chen Meijiao smiled and said, "Although I don't know if everyone is sincere or not, but with the support of my parents, my brother, sister-in-law and sister, I feel that it is enough."
"That's good." Wen Nuan was very happy to see the completely transformed Chen Meijiao, and then said: "If you hadn't bravely taken this step, there wouldn't be a good life now."
Chen Meijiao smiled brightly and said, "Indeed, life is getting better now, and my cooking skills have improved greatly!"
"Even our manager often praises me and is planning to promote me!"
Wen Nuan said sincerely: "I'm happy for you."
After the two chatted about the past for a while, Chen Meijiao asked about Wen Nuan's previous visit to her to buy goats. "Have you contacted the goat seller? Our manager said that if you sell there for a long time, the price can be more favorable. You'd better negotiate the price."
Wen Nuan nodded: "Okay, I understand, thank you."
Then Wen Nuan took out a bag of meatballs and handed them to her: "This is the meatballs I brought for you. Take it back and try it. You can also ask your manager to help me try it and see if there is anything that needs to be improved."
Wen Nuan is also exploring the market in Beijing. For example, the state-owned hotel where Chen Meijiao works is expected to have a huge demand.
Chen Meijiao took the meatballs handed to her by Wen Nuan and smiled: "That's great. Although I also work in a state-owned restaurant now, I still miss your cooking skills, Comrade Wen Nuan."
Wen Nuan also felt a little sorry: "If I hadn't been going back to North City tomorrow, I would have made something delicious for you!"
Chen Meijiao put the meatballs in her bag, and then said: "There will definitely be opportunities in the future. Anyway, your grandfather is also in Beijing, and Deputy Commander Gu is such an outstanding soldier. Maybe he will come to the main hospital when the time comes!"
The two chatted and laughed, and Chen Meijiao later took her to the state-owned restaurant where she worked.
Wen Nuan also met the hotel manager she often mentioned. She thought the manager was a middle-aged man, but when she met him this time, she found out that he was only in his early thirties.
Chen Meijiao originally wanted to take the meatballs home and let her husband taste them, but the manager was curious about these things, so he cooked a big bowl of them directly in their kitchen.
The manager raised his eyebrows and said, "Not bad... Comrade Wen Nuan, is this all done by you?"
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Not really, because these meatballs need to be hammered a lot, and most of them are made by our comrades in the kitchen team."
The manager looked at the meatball between the chopsticks and said, "No wonder, these meatballs are so springy, they must have taken a lot of work to pound."
Then the manager asked, "By the way, Comrade Wen Nuan, will you supply these meatballs to the public? If our restaurant wants to pre-order some, is that ok?"
Wen Nuan was delighted, but she did not give him an immediate answer. She said, "I have to go back and ask our quartermaster. I can't make a decision."
The other party nodded: "Okay, then when you return to the army, please ask for me."
Originally, the manager and Chen Meijiao wanted to keep Wen Nuan here for dinner, but Wen Nuan refused because she thought her grandfather might come back tonight to have dinner with her.
When they came out of the restaurant, Wen Nuan went to the bus stop. Because she didn't know how long they would talk, she didn't let the driver wait there.
Fortunately, after waiting for half an hour, a car came soon, and about forty minutes later, we returned to the Air Force compound in Xicheng.
After getting off the bus, you still have to walk a distance. In those days, there were no tall buildings, and the area around the compound was still wheat fields and residents' private plots.
Just as Wen Nuan was walking, she suddenly saw two figures she hadn't seen for a long time.
Wen Nuan thought she had seen it wrong, but just as she was about to walk forward, a familiar voice called out to her: "Xiao Nuan, I finally found you. Mom is almost dying of exhaustion!"
Mother Wen was seen pulling two large snakeskin bags and walking towards her with difficulty, while fiercely scolding Wen Wenkang behind her: "Asshole, why don't you call me sister!"
The moment Wen Wenkang saw Wen Nuan, he was stunned and thought he had recognized the wrong person: "This this this..."
Although it is undeniable that Wen Nuan was good-looking before, she was skinny and without any femininity.
But now it is the same. The Wen Nuan in front of me has a ruddy complexion, black and shiny hair, and a light-colored cotton jacket with a red scarf on her body, which makes her skin look snow-white, but not that kind of pale white.
In short, she looked very beautiful, which made him feel unreal for a moment. He thought he was hallucinating because he had been hungry for a day.
Wen Wenkang was kicked by his mother again, and then he shouted: "My dear sister, your brother is here to see you!"
Wen Nuan frowned and said in a cold tone: "I don't have the blessing to be your good sister."
