The North City in May is full of vitality, and everything is green.
The weather was warm, and both of them were sweating afterwards.
Wen Nuan lay on the kang and didn't want to move. She had originally wanted to add some food to Gu Qinghan, but now she had become his meal instead.
She grabbed the quilt to cover her spring scenery, then kicked the man who looked refreshed and snorted, "You go cook, I won't cook anymore."
She was so tired that she felt a little drowsy and now all she wanted to do was sleep.
Gu Qinghan had already taken a shower in the bathroom, and his hair was still a little wet. He glanced at the warmth on the kang, and saw that her face was covered with a layer of ambiguous pink, which made her look indescribably delicate.
He originally wanted to let her take a shower as well, but it seemed that Wen Nuan wanted to rest more.
Gu Qinghan bent down, kissed her on the forehead, and said softly: "Okay, you take a rest. I will prepare the food later. Eat and then sleep for a while."
Just as he finished speaking, Gu Qinglan's loud voice came from outside the yard, "Sister-in-law, we are back."
Then there was the cute little Lele who made a bubble sound, "Mom, look what I bought..."
Wen Nuan jumped up from the kang when she heard the two people's voices, and then began to look for her clothes all over the kang. Because she was anxious, she couldn't find anything. Gu Qinghan helped her get the clothes from the chair beside her and said in a deep voice: "Why are you in such a hurry? Slow down."
Wen Nuan hurriedly put on her clothes, then twisted the man's arm, "It's all your fault!"
There was another knock on the door. It was Lele, the impatient one, who shouted loudly, "Mom, Mom, Lele is back."
Gu Qinglan pushed the door outside and muttered, "This is weird. Didn't Old Zhong say that my sister-in-law had returned to the family quarters? Why is the door locked in the middle of the day?"
Because the weather has gotten warmer, except at night, whenever it's warm at home, I like to open the doors and windows for ventilation, and I rarely close the doors.
Moreover, as long as it was not winter, the comrades in the staff compound liked to visit each other and chat. Her sister-in-law and sister-in-law Guihua would often visit each other and would never close the door.
Gu Qinglan lowered her head and said to little Lele, "Lele, your mother may not be at home. Go check on Aunt Guihua."
Wen Nuan heard the voice outside and her face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. She immediately raised her voice and responded, "I'm coming, I'm home."
However, Gu Qinghan had already walked out of the room, and opened the door for them while responding warmly.
As soon as Lele saw the door open, he excitedly rushed to Gu Qinghan and said, "Dad, Dad, guess what I bought?"
The little girl knew nothing, and the first thing she wanted to do when she saw her father was to show off the new things she had just bought.
Gu Qinglan was sweating profusely because she had been riding her bike all the way. When she saw her eldest brother opening the door, she frowned and asked, "Brother, you are home? Why is the door closed..."
"Yeah." Gu Qinghan didn't intend to explain. He just picked up Lele, who looked excited, and carried her to sit on the sofa.
Gu Qinglan bought a lot of things in town this time. She didn't care about her brother locking the door. She just put a lot of things on the eight-immortal table and asked, "Where's sister-in-law? Has she taken a nap yet?"
Many times Wen Nuan would come home to take a nap at noon. It was neither early nor late at this time. Could it be that she had already fallen asleep
Gu Qinghan just said: "Yes, in the room."
Gu Qinghan glanced at the things in Lele's hand, pretending to be curious, and said, "Let me see what Lele bought."
Lele took out the glass ball in his hand and showed it off: "Aunt bought me a ball, look, Dad, it's sparkling."
Because the sofa was next to the bed, the sunlight was shining into the yard at this moment, and the room was also very bright. The brand new glass ball was indeed shining brightly.
The little guy bought several and couldn't hold them all in one hand. One of them almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Gu Qinghan caught it.
Gu Qinghan put the crystal clear glass ball back into Lele's little hand and said gently, "You must protect your glass ball well this time, or it will disappear again."
Last year, Liu Minghua's son came to the compound and gave Lele a glass ball. However, she had secretly taken the glass ball out of the compound to play, and the glass ball fell into a pile of snow. Later, when she returned home, she told him that the glass ball was missing.
But when Gu Qinghan went back to look for it, it was gone.
The weather has been warm recently, and Wen Nuan is busy building the factory. He also has a lot of tasks to do in the flight team, so he has no chance to take her to the town.
No wonder Wen Nuan said that when she heard that Gu Qinglan was going to town, she went to get the small chair herself. She must have wanted this glass ball for a long time.
Lele held her glass ball tightly in her hand, then slid off Gu Qinghan's thigh and ran to the room, saying, "I want to show it to my mother too."
At this moment, Wen Nuan, whose hair was neatly combed, opened the door of the room, stopped the little girl with a smile, and asked her: "Le Le, what do you want to show your mother?"
She had just put on her clothes and recombed her hair, so she looked no different from usual, except that there was a slight pink on her cheeks.
Lele tried hard to tiptoe, then spread out her little hands holding the glass ball in front of Wen Nuan, and said with a smile: "Mom, look at my ball."
Wen Nuan looked at the glass balls in Le Le's hand and said with a smile, "They are really beautiful."
Lele stretched out her other hand, pinched one out, and handed it to Wen Nuan: "Mom will give you one."
Wen Nuan originally wanted to refuse it, but the little girl often loses things and often can't find her own things, so she thought of it as keeping it for her. "Okay, thank you Lele."
Gu Qinghan came over at some point and asked the biased little guy jealously, "Why does mom have it but dad doesn't?"
Lele looked at Gu Qinghan and smiled, then he clenched his things tightly, hid behind Wen Nuan, and said, "Dad is an adult, he doesn't play."
Gu Qinghan was suddenly speechless.
Lele just favors her mother, but Gu Qinghan didn't feel resentful. Instead, he went to the kitchen to prepare cooking.
When Gu Qinghan brought out the food, Gu Qinglan, who had just recovered her breath, suddenly said, "Brother and sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet? Then what were you doing with the door closed just now?"
warmth:"… "
*
The weather has gotten warmer, and Wen Nuan has to go back to the kitchen on time every day to work.
Because Sister Guihua's parents came, I cooked a lot of hometown delicacies in different ways these days, and also sent a lot of delicious food to Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan had never eaten those things, so she accepted them shamelessly. However, she would also send them some food and drinks when she was free.
Uncle Zhang stayed in the staff quarters for a week and then said he wanted to go back to his hometown.
After Wen Nuan found out, she thought Uncle Zhang was in a hurry to get the next batch of dried seafood, so she asked him to stay in the staff quarters to play with Sister Guihua for a few more days.
Uncle Zhang said to Wen Nuan, "The baby isn't born yet anyway, and one more person means one more mouth to feed. I might as well go back to my hometown first. When Guihua is about to give birth, I'll send another batch of dried seafood over, and then I can visit my grandson."
Comrade Wen Nuan said earlier that she was planning to order another batch of dried seafood, so he must go back to the village early to keep an eye on it and not make any mistakes in this business.
Hearing that the Beicheng Army had more than 10,000 people, he thought that he could do it often in the future so that the comrades in the village would have something to look forward to and the seafood would not be left to rot on the beach.
Zhang Guihua and Aunt Liang naturally had no objection. The village had been poor for so long, and now they had finally found a way to do some business. Uncle Zhang was the village chief, so naturally he had to go back and supervise everyone's work to generate income for the village.
After hearing what Uncle Zhang said, Wen Nuan looked at him gratefully and said, "Uncle Zhang, although the army needs a lot of things, you don't have to worry. You can send them over later. Let the villagers not work too hard. Their health is the most important thing."
Although Uncle Zhang's hometown is also in the north, it is hot everywhere in the summer. It would not be good if the villagers suffered from heatstroke because of their goods.
Uncle Zhang didn't expect Wen Nuan to think of this. He was even more certain that he had found the right person this time. He said cheerfully, "Okay, okay, okay, I got it. Our people are all experienced. Don't worry. I'll telegraph you when the next batch of dried seafood is ready."
Wen Nuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
When Uncle Zhang came, he came on a truck carrying dried seafood from the army, but he had to take the train back because the quartermaster paid him in cash. Sister Guihua said that Uncle Zhang was worried that someone would steal the money on the train, so she asked Zhou Jianshe to go back with him.
Zhou Jianshe was certainly willing to escort his father-in-law back to his hometown, but he was worried about Sister Guihua, afraid that something might happen to her.
As a result, Zhang Guihua yelled at him directly, "Stop talking nonsense, your mother is still at home, just go with you for a few days."
Since she became pregnant, Zhang Guihua has been taken very good care of by Zhou Jianshe, a little too much so that she feels like she is not pregnant but disabled.
Although she was in her thirties, she felt that pregnancy was no more strenuous than other younger pregnant women. But she definitely had to be careful. Zhou Jianshe was afraid that she would fall when he poured her water, which made her a little depressed.
Now that her mother has come over from her hometown, she has someone to take care of her, so Zhou Jianshe doesn't have to keep such a close eye on her.
Zhou Jianshe touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "Then I'll go pack two sets of clothes and send Dad back home tomorrow."
Uncle Zhang said, "I can do it alone. At worst I can just not sleep. Why would I need to ask Jianshe to make a special trip?"
Zhou Jianshe is a regiment leader after all, and his work is usually very busy. Beicheng is not particularly far from Shandong Province, and it only takes a day and a night by train to get there.
He had already made up his mind that he would not sleep on the train. After all, the money was the result of the villagers' six months' hard work, and everyone was looking forward to him taking the money home.
Zhou Jianshe also thought it was okay to go, so he said, "I just happened to be on a mission over there, and it would be good if I could complete it a month ahead of schedule. Dad, don't say anything, I'll go back with you this time."
Wen Nuan listened to what they said, and then discussed with Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, how about you bring a passbook next time, and we can transfer the money directly to the account, wouldn't it be safer?"
Now their processing plant has been built and is also going through the procedures for starting up. When the time comes, they will also settle accounts with the research institute and Babao State-owned Restaurant through the bank.
Although stealing is a serious crime in this day and age, it does not stop some people from taking risks. This is the hard-earned money of the common people. If it is stolen, it would be really heartbreaking.
Uncle Zhang thought Wen Nuan's words made sense, so he said, "I'll discuss it with our production team when I get back."
It may be difficult for one village to produce so many products to make Wen Nuan in just a few months. By then, several production teams may have to work together.
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Okay, then go back and discuss it first."
*
After Uncle Zhang returned to his hometown, Wen Nuan became busy again.
Gu Qinghan also told her that he would go to Factory 112 to continue test flying next month, but before leaving, he said that he would first finalize the list of the first batch of reserve pilots.
Although Wen Nuan also asked Gu Qinghan about the selection of pilots, the selection criteria were very complicated and required multi-faceted assessments.
The first is basic physical fitness. In addition to good eyesight, there must be no major injuries on the body. The psychological resistance must also be tested, and a good foundation in foreign languages is also required.
Anyway, after Wen Nuan finished listening, she felt that out of the first batch of more than a thousand people, it would be impossible to select less than ten.
A few days later, Gu Qinghan came home at nine o'clock in the evening. Wen Nuan specially made him some noodles. Lele slept too much during the day, so she also waited for her father at night.
Gu Qinghan held the child and fed her a few mouthfuls of noodles. Wen Nuan, who was standing by, saw this and frowned and said to them, "Your daughter had already eaten half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of meat in the evening, and she just had some fruit. Don't give her any more."
Gu Qinghan said "Oh", then put the child on the ground and said to Lele, "You still need to drink milk later, don't eat anymore."
Lele looked aggrieved. She pulled her father's arm, leaned close to him and whispered, "Give me some more eggs. I want to eat the white ones!"
Seeing that Gu Qinghan was still hesitating, she shook his arm again: "Just one bite, Dad."
The little girl's speech was much clearer now, and she could speak at length. Seeing her like this, Gu Qinghan couldn't bear it, so he secretly gave her some eggs.
Lele succeeded, so he covered his mouth and walked away to avoid Wen Nuan.
Little did she know that Wen Nuan had seen all their actions, so she walked over and pinched the man's arm, "You said we shouldn't spoil her, but I see you're secretly spoiling her!"
However, Gu Qinghan would only indulge her in small things, and he would punish her severely for bad habits.
Seeing that his wife was angry, Gu Qinghan took her hand and asked her to sit next to him, saying, "I can't finish it, do you want to eat some?"
Wen Nuan shook her head, propped up her chin and looked at the man, smiling: "No, I just ate some fruit."
It has only been a few months since Beicheng was able to enjoy eating fruits. During these warm days, I would eat some fruits an hour before going to bed, because the nearby villagers all grow some fruits and vegetables, and these fruits do not require tickets.
Wen Nuan bought all kinds of fruits. Gu Qinghan could eat a lot of fruits in the flight kitchen every day, so he seldom ate them when he came home. Wen Nuan and Lele ate them all.
Gu Qinghan ate two mouthfuls of noodles, then asked her: "Do you want me to buy some more?"
He also discovered that Wen Nuan really liked eating fruits. He had been to Qiongzhou Island before, and most of the fruits he brought back were eaten by her and her children.
He will be leaving for Factory 112 in two days. It will probably take him a long time to come back this time, so he thought of preparing some things for her after he leaves.
Wen Nuan shook her head and said, "Forget it. It won't keep for long. I can just buy it myself when I want to eat it."
"And Qinglan is now close to Xiaomei. The two girls love to go out after work and often go to the village. I always ask her to buy things for me."
After hearing this, Gu Qinghan nodded without saying anything else. He planned to go to the hospital tomorrow to give some money to Qinglan, asking her to help buy more delicious food for Wen Nuan.
After finishing his noodles, Gu Qinghan said, "By the way, the first list of reserve pilots has been released."
"Ah? They finally came out? How many people are there?" Wen Nuan asked curiously, "Is Da Xiang on the list?"
This selection has been going on for more than half a year, and it seems that it took many levels of selection to be finalized.
Gu Qinghan replied softly: "There are twelve people, and Daxiang is one of them."
Wen Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Although Li Daxiang and Gu Qinglan might not be able to be together, Li Daxiang had helped her so much before and was a good guy. Wen Nuan had always hoped that he could be chosen.
Now hearing Gu Qinghan say this, I feel happy for Li Daxiang from the bottom of my heart.
Gu Qinghan showed some approval in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Daxiang works very hard, and his conditions are relatively suitable for the requirements. I heard from Erhu that in order to learn foreign languages by himself, he only sleeps four hours a day and stays up late every day to study."
Gu Qinghan prefers his hard-working and diligent subordinates, and other factors are not within his consideration.
Wen Nuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then he can finally get what he wanted. He was finally selected."
Gu Qinghan looked at his wife and smiled, then said, "Don't be too happy too soon. Now they have just been selected, but there is still a series of studies and exams to go through. These twelve people still have to go to the aviation school in Shenyang to study for a year before they can officially become pilots."
If I fail to pass various exams within this year, all my efforts will be in vain. However, with these experiences, even if I cannot become a flight crewman, I will have no problem becoming a ground crewman in the future.
Wen Nuan had confidence in Li Daxiang, so she smiled and said, "I think Daxiang will definitely pass and will be a pilot in the future!"
Gu Qinghan looked at Wen Nuan with a bit of jealousy and raised his eyebrows: "Are you so confident in him?"
Wen Nuan noticed at a glance that something was wrong with her husband's eyes, so she reached out and pinched his face, "You stingy guy, Da Xiang wanted to be a pilot so hard just for Qing Lan, he must have risked his life."
Gu Qinghan blocked his wife's mouth. Even if that person was Li Daxiang, it would still not work.
Lele, who was standing behind the two of them and watching his parents kiss, hugged his little arms and suddenly said, "Mom, I want to drink milk."
Wen Nuan was so frightened that she pushed Gu Qinghan, who was immersed in the kiss of love, out.
She covered her mother's mouth with the back of her hand, then stood up and said, "Here I am, I'll wash you now, don't talk so loudly, it's already so late."
Gu Qinghan also reached out and pinched the child's cheek, snorting: "You're naughty again!"
The little guy snorted, slapped Gu Qinghan's hand away, and ran straight back to the room, ready to drink milk and go to sleep.
*
The next morning, Li Daxiang went to the military hospital.
Tomorrow he will go to Shenyang with Gu Qinghan, and will undergo a one-year study and training at the aviation school there. This means that within this year, he may only have one or two chances to return to the army.
Thinking of this, Li Daxiang couldn't hold back any longer, and before leaving, he came over to say a few words to Gu Qinglan.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Gu Qinglan walking towards the hospital with her colleagues, chatting and laughing, and she didn't seem to notice his presence.
However, a female comrade next to Gu Qinglan had noticed Li Daxiang a long time ago.
In the past two days, everyone in the army has been discussing the release of the first batch of pilot selection lists, and by the way, they want to see which of these unmarried young people are suitable as revolutionary partners. Many single female comrades are planning to take the initiative.
However, the person that everyone discussed the most was Li Daxiang, who was the one Gu Qinglan was most familiar with. He was one of the hot topics. Everyone was curious about what happened between Qinglan and Li Daxiang during this period, as it seemed that they had no contact at all.
Now, they suddenly saw Li Daxiang appear in their hospital again, and they all started to eat melons out of curiosity.
The colleague reminded Gu Qinglan and said with a smile: "Qinglan, isn't that Captain Li? He came here so early, is he here to see you?"
Gu Qinglan was stunned. Ever since she was slandered and framed by Ding Guoli last time, Gu Qinglan had not gone to look for Li Daxiang.
Li Daxiang also took the initiative to avoid suspicion, fearing that his own relationship would affect Gu Qinghan's reputation. After all, he was one of the main people in this selection.
Even though Gu Qinghan would never cheat on anyone because of Gu Qinglan, once the rumor spread, it would still cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.
What's more, he and Gu Qinglan are indeed innocent.
Gu Qinglan looked at the familiar figure in the distance for several seconds before she said "Oh" and then said, "It seems to be him. I wonder what he is doing here."
As she said this, Li Daxiang walked straight towards her with a faint smile on his face.
Li Daxiang didn't care about Gu Qinglan and the other female colleagues who were looking at him and whispering. He just looked at Gu Qinglan and said to her, "Qinglan, do you have time? I have something to talk to you about."
When Gu Qinglan heard Li Daxiang calling her name, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she felt a little distracted for the first time.
It was only when her colleagues reminded her that Gu Qinglan said "Oh" and then said, "I'll be back at 7:30, so there's still 15 minutes."
Li Daxiang took two steps forward and motioned her to go with him. Now was the time when most people in the hospital were at work, and it was also breakfast time for the soldiers who had finished their training. The army was full of people.
However, it was precisely because there were so many people that the two of them didn't feel so awkward. Considering that Gu Qinglan had to go to work soon, Li Daxiang didn't dare to walk too far and just walked along a small path in front of the hospital.
Gu Qinglan followed behind him, looking at his back. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Li Daxiang was taller and stronger than the last time she saw him. His shoulders were obviously broader, and his waist was much straighter.
She is considered average among northern girls, and her sister-in-law often says that she is tall.
But now in front of Li Daxiang, she actually feels like a little bird.
Gu Qinglan was about to ask him about the pilot selection, but Li Daxiang spoke first, "I will go to Shenyang with Deputy Commander Gu tomorrow. There is an aviation school over there, and we have a one-year closed-door study."
Gu Qinglan smiled and said sincerely: "Congratulations, you finally made it to the flight team."
She heard them say in the dormitory last night that only twelve people were picked out for this pilot selection, but it was not over yet. I heard that they still had to go to the aviation school to study, take exams and train, and there would probably be an assessment later.
Li Daxiang looked at Gu Qinglan, his face suddenly turned red, and then he said: "I'm not a pilot yet, but I will work hard."
Hearing this, Gu Qinglan burst out laughing and said, "In my mind, you are already the best. My eldest brother said that there are many people who signed up this time, but only twelve people were selected. You are already very impressive!"
This is what Gu Qinglan really thinks. She is really happy that Li Daxiang was selected. No matter whether he can be selected in the future, he is the best.
After hearing what Gu Qinglan said, Li Daxiang's face and ears turned red. For the first time, he was a little at a loss and didn't know how to respond. He just looked at Gu Qinglan and smiled foolishly.
Seeing him grinning foolishly, Gu Qinglan suddenly wondered how Li Daxiang had gotten in. He seemed a little bit unlike his elder brother. Why did he look so silly
For some reason, Gu Qinglan suddenly remembered the time when Li Daxiang was poisoned and unconscious, and the way he looked at her was so sparkling.
It was from that time that Gu Qinglan began to formalize her feelings, so...
They both said almost at the same time: "Will you wait for me?"
"I'll wait for you."
After saying that, the two looked at each other, blushed at the same time, and turned their backs at the same time.
Li Daxiang took a deep breath and did not back down this time. He turned around and looked at Gu Qinglan's back and said, "I said before that I would have something to tell you after the pilot list comes out—"
"Qinglan, I, I like you."
"I've liked you since the first time I saw you."
To be honest, the scene when the two met for the first time was not pretty. Gu Qinglan even looked a little miserable, with a red and swollen face, a bloody wound on her head, and a malnourished and thin face...
But when Li Daxiang was guarding her bedside, he suddenly felt heartbroken. At that time, he thought that if he could protect her, she would not have to suffer such hardship.
Later, they went to the village where Gu Qinglan had been sent to work. Li Daxiang witnessed Gu Qinglan's positive, intelligent and fearless side. From then on, Li Daxiang knew that he liked this girl.
She looks carefree, but she is sensitive and caring.
So he had to work harder to move up and not want to miss her.
After waiting for a long time, Gu Qinglan still didn't turn around. Li Daxiang suddenly became anxious, fearing that he had scared her.
Who knew that just when I raised my foot to see her reaction, I saw Gu Qinglan smiling like a flower, so beautiful.
Gu Qinglan nodded sharply, and then quickly said, "I see, me too."
Upon hearing this, Li Daxiang froze in place, looking at her in disbelief.
So Gu Qinglan said again: "Everyone can see it. I was just afraid before..."
Previously, when she was in the countryside, she was harassed by a bastard. Gu Qinglan did not trust men for a while. However, every time she went to her sister-in-law and eldest brother's house and saw their family having fun, she felt that not all men were like that.
Li Daxiang would not be like that because she had been with him.
Gu Qinglan was also a little confused. It was not until that incident with Ding Guoli that she was sure of her inner feelings.
So now that she heard Li Daxiang's confession, Gu Qinglan also wanted to follow her heart.
Li Daxiang waved his hands helplessly, and then said: "Don't be afraid, I won't force you. If you don't want to be with me anymore, we can break up..."
"Ah?" Gu Qinglan laughed and snorted, "I say, Li Daxiang, we haven't even started yet, and you're already thinking about breaking up?"
Li Daxiang wanted to beat himself to death, and quickly explained: "It's not like that, I just said... said..."
"I just want to say that I respect your opinion."
Gu Qinglan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I'm just kidding, I know what you mean."
Li Daxiang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the playful Gu Qinglan, "That's good, I... I'm not very good at speaking."
"It's OK, at least I can understand it." Gu Qinglan smiled and said, "You are leaving tomorrow, so bring some winter clothes. I heard that Shenyang is also quite cold."
Li Daxiang nodded: "Okay."
"After you go to Shenyang, write to me. If you are not allowed to do so, ask my eldest brother to give me a message."
"knew."
"When you get there, focus on studying. Don't think too much. I've always been here."
"I will."
When Gu Qinglan was still thinking about what to say, someone poked his head out from the second floor of the hospital and called Gu Qinglan to go back and help.
Li Daxiang looked at her and said, "Then you go back and do your work. I'll go back to the dormitory to pack my luggage later. I have a meeting tonight. Can you come and see me off tomorrow?"
Gu Qinglan nodded readily: "Okay, then you can go back and get busy too."
The conversation between the two ended here. Although Gu Qinglan didn't know when they would meet next time, they had almost finished chatting now.
More words will have to wait until Li Daxiang comes back.
*
When Gu Qinghan and Li Daxiang set out, Wen Nuan and Gu Qinglan went to see them off, but there were too many people and they didn't talk much.
After the flight team left, Wen Nuan was still planning to ask about Gu Qinglan and Da Xiang.
Who knew that Gu Qinglan would act guilty and say, "Sister-in-law, I... I'm dating someone."
Wen Nuan chuckled, poked her head with her finger, and said, "You really know how to pick the time. You came to tell me just when you knew your brother was about to go out. Are you afraid that your brother would object?"
Then Wen Nuan pretended to know nothing and asked her, "Who is it?"
Gu Qinglan met Wen Nuan's probing eyes and felt for the first time that she had been fooled by her sister-in-law. She said, "Sister-in-law, you... you clearly knew it."
Wen Nuan frowned: "I don't see you every day, how could I know?"
Then Wen Nuan lowered her head and asked Le Le who was licking a popsicle in her arms, "Le Le, do you know who your aunt is dating?"
Lele was enjoying his popsicle so much that he didn't want to pay attention to the adults' nonsense, so he said, "It's a popsicle!"
Gu Qinglan: “…”
Wen Nuan laughed loudly, which made Gu Qinglan feel even more irritated. She couldn't help but pinch Lele's round face and said, "Don't ask your aunt to buy you a popsicle tomorrow!"
Lele immediately frowned and looked at Gu Qinglan pitifully, "Aunt, please buy Lele some popsicles..."
Gu Qinglan turned her head and snorted, "No!"
Lele also imitated her, turned his head and snorted: "I have money, I can buy it myself!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing when listening to the child's lovely words.
This is indeed the confidence that comes from being rich!
Then on the way back to the family compound, Gu Qinglan told Wen Nuan what happened yesterday.
Wen Nuan was not in a hurry. After all, Li Daxiang still had a year to study, so she could wait until he returned to the army.
*
As soon as Gu Qinghan went to test flight, Wen Nuan started to get busy with the factory setting.
The frozen dumplings and noodles from the previous winter were no longer suitable for transporting to the institute as supplies.
So she has been busy making instant noodles, dried noodles and uncooked noodles, which are all easy to preserve.
And the main thing is convenience and easy to store.
In addition to staple foods, there are also various dried vegetables. Because the northern city has entered spring, the family compound and the hills outside are full of various wild vegetables and spring bamboo shoots.
In addition, the kitchen team also plans to reclaim a piece of land and plant more vegetables to make various dried vegetables.
After the quartermaster got the approval result, he called Wen Nuan to his office.
Wen Nuan was just about to make some sweet soup for everyone. When she heard the quartermaster calling her, she asked Xiao Zhu to help watch the fire.
Wen Nuan knocked on the door of the quartermaster's office and asked politely, "Quartier, are you looking for me?"
"Come, take a seat first." The quartermaster placed the approval result document in front of Wen Nuan, and then said, "Our factory is now officially established. I plan to invite some people back to help."
The factory building had not been expanded before, and there were no regular employees except for a few helpers in the kitchen. Everyone came to help at night after finishing their work during the day. Now that the process has been completed, we not only have to follow the rules and regulations, but also have to hire more people back.
The quartermaster added with a smile: "Your deputy commander Gu has also brought a large order to our factory. The aviation school and Factory 112 are also planning to order winter supplies from us."
There aren't many people in the Aviation School, but Factory 112 is a large factory that builds fighter jets. There are many technicians in it, and aviation experts and leaders of the Air Force often visit there, so they plan to order some dried seafood and various dried vegetables from them.
Wen Nuan was very excited and smiled brightly, saying, "That's great. Then we won't have to worry about not having a market for the dried seafood Uncle Zhang brings over."
