After Sister Guihua returned to the family compound, North City slowly entered winter, and the family compound was covered in white again.
During the confinement period, Lele often went to Sister Guihua's house to see the baby.
But newborns sleep a lot, so every time she went there, the child was almost always asleep.
Lele moved a small stool and sat beside the ore bed, watching the baby sleep.
But sometimes the baby cried too much, and Lele was not so patient. She would often run home by herself and tell Wen Nuan: "Mom, the baby is crying."
"He cried so loudly!"
Wen Nuan smiled and looked at her, then said, "Aunt and grandma will coax the baby into good health. You can also give him your toys. The baby will definitely be very happy."
At this time, Lele would say, "Then I'll wait until he stops crying, and then go over."
"I'm going to bring him a rattle later!"
Lele is not as generous to older children, but is surprisingly generous to Guihua's baby.
Many times, she knew that the baby couldn't eat her snacks and couldn't play with toys yet, but she still took her things every time she went to Sister Guihua's house.
Once, Gu Qinghan reminded her that she didn't need to bring the baby because the baby couldn't eat snacks yet and couldn't play with toys yet.
But Lele tilted her head and asked her father, not quite understanding, "What if the baby suddenly grows up and wants to play with toys?"
Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan both smiled bitterly. Perhaps in Lele's mind, babies would grow up to be as big as her in no time.
That night, Wen Nuan prepared milk powder for Lele. Seeing that it was snowing outside again, she decided to let Lele drink milk early and go to bed directly.
Wen Nuan placed the cup of milk powder in front of Lele and reminded her, "Lele, drink the milk first, then brush your teeth and go to bed."
Maybe it’s because the weather is cold, the little guy sleeps a little longer than before and often hardly wakes up in the morning.
Fortunately, the factory is now on track and everyone is familiar with the work. She doesn't have to do everything herself, so Wen Nuan doesn't have to go back so early in the morning.
Lele was playing with the tangram puzzle that Commander Land had sent from Beijing last week. He had put the puzzle pieces together to make a small house.
Without even looking up, she murmured, "I want to build a small car for the baby."
"Aunt Guihua said that boys like small cars."
Although we have a stove at home now, things on the table will still get cold very quickly. The warmest place in the whole house is probably the kang bed.
Wen Nuan sat next to Le Le and guided her to adjust the position of the tangram to make a small car. She said, "It's done. If you don't drink it now, it will get cold."
Gu Qinghan had frozen milk popsicles for the little guy before, but after Lele had eaten them a few times, he no longer liked drinking milk. However, in the past few months, Wen Nuan had Chen Meijiao help her buy some milk powder in Beijing, and Commander Lu would occasionally send one or two cans over, so the family still had two cans in stock.
Lele reluctantly crawled over to the cabinet beside the kang bed, then slowly picked up the enamel cup and frowned: "Mom, I want to drink from the bottle!"
Wen Nuan glanced at her and said, "You are already this old, don't use a bottle anymore."
After the spring of next year, Wen Nuan plans to send her to kindergarten, and she definitely can’t use a bottle anymore!
Sister Juxiang's son is also in kindergarten. Except for the babies under two years old who are in full-time care, basically no one uses bottles for the children. All of them use enamel cups.
Lele looked at the big beaker in his hand, snorted unhappily, and asked, "Can only babies use it?"
Wen Nuan guessed that she had probably seen the milk bottle at Sister Guihua's house, so she was a little obsessed with it, so she said "hmm", and then said: "Look at Xiaodong and Sister Xiaomei, they don't use milk bottles."
Lele seemed to understand what he heard. After saying "Oh", he picked up the enamel cup and started drinking milk.
After just taking a few sips, the baby in Sister Guihua's house next door suddenly started crying. Babies' voices are very loud, so they could basically hear it.
Wen Nuan didn't think it was a big deal at first. After all, such a young baby would just drink milk and sleep, and cry for all kinds of reasons. He would cry when he was hungry, and he would also cry when his diaper was wet or dirty.
But in the next second, Lele, who was drinking milk on the kang, suddenly got off the kang, holding his own cup of milk, and said while putting on his shoes: "The baby is hungry, I will go to feed him."
Wen Nuan was almost amused by her, but when she saw the little guy was already walking out of the room, she realized that she was serious, so she grabbed her collar and said, "The baby won't drink this kind of milk, Lele, don't go."
The little guy was so anxious that he even put on his cotton slippers backwards. But sometimes Lele also likes to wear his shoes backwards on purpose. I don’t know what his habit is.
Wen Nuan looked at the window sill and found that it was still snowing. She said, "It's snowing now. Let's not go over there. We'll open and close the door later, and the baby will catch a cold."
You have to pay special attention in winter, otherwise if such a young child catches a cold or fever, it would be fatal.
Besides, Zhou Jianshe had already returned home by this time, and there were four adults in Sister Guihua's family looking after a baby, so there should be no problem.
Lele held his enamel cup and wanted to go over: "Aunt said that babies also drink milk powder. He can drink this."
Just when Wen Nuan was about to speak, there was a sound from the door lock, and then the wooden door was pushed open. A biting cold wind rushed in, and Lele and Wen Nuan, who had not yet had time to put on their cotton jackets, shrank their necks at the same time due to the cold.
Gu Qinghan noticed that his wife and child were not wearing coats, so he quickly closed the wooden door and fastened the wooden bolt.
Then he looked at them and said in a gentle voice, "Are you not cold? Why are you still awake so late?"
Gu Qinghan had just seen that only the light in the room was on, and thought that the child and Wen Nuan had gone home early, but why did it seem like they were about to go out
Seeing that the man had returned just in time, Wen Nuan said with a smile, "Your daughter heard that Sister Guihua's baby was crying, so she said she wanted to bring milk to the baby."
Wen Nuan really couldn't do anything with her. She was still a little kid who needed milk, but she was thinking about feeding the baby.
Gu Qinghan took off his coat and hat, and then saw that Lele was indeed holding an enamel cup filled with milk in his hand, and it seemed that he was really going to give it to the other person.
So Gu Qinghan picked up the little girl, took the enamel cup from her hand, and said to her: "It's snowing outside. If you want to see the baby, you have to wait until tomorrow."
Then he looked at Lele's milk powder and smiled. "And have you drunk this milk? The baby can't drink yours."
Lele was just a little chilled by the cold wind, so she wasn't so persistent anymore. She even said to her father with a bit of disgust: "Dad, I'm not going anymore. Put me down now!"
Gu Qinghan had just come back from outside. Except for his warm body, his hands and face that had been outside were cold. Just now, Lele touched his hand and he immediately retracted his hand.
And more importantly, the baby next door has stopped crying.
Gu Qinghan didn't argue with her. After putting her down, he handed the enamel cup back to her and said, "Then drink the milk quickly. The lights will be turned off soon."
Lele walked to the stove, leaned on the warm sofa with a cushion on it, crossed his legs, and began to gulp down the milk.
Wen Nuan poured a basin of hot water for Gu Qinghan and said, "Hurry up and wash your face and hands, and soak your feet. We should go to bed early tonight."
Wen Nuan was already feeling a little sleepy just now, and had originally planned to let Le Le drink milk and brush her teeth before going to bed together, but who knew she would do this again.
The factory needs to send a batch of dried vegetables and quick-cooking dishes to the border defense and research institute in East Xinjiang before November.
Considering that these dishes are for the soldiers and experts from the institute, Wen Nuan is not comfortable handing this matter over to other people. Although she doesn't have to do many things herself, she still has to keep an eye on them from time to time.
When it comes to food, safety and hygiene are of utmost importance, and neither the quartermaster nor Wen Nuan dare to take it lightly.
So she has been busy like a top every day during this period, wishing she could sort out this batch of supplies as soon as possible and send the things over as soon as possible so that she can take a break for a while.
Gu Qinghan glanced at his wife, and his sharp eyes had already noticed some blue in her eyes. He took off his shoes and said, "Go back and lie down first. I'll help Lele brush her teeth and then I'll go back."
But Lele on the side shouted: "No! I don't want daddy to brush my teeth!"
"I want my mother to help me brush it."
Wen Nuan glanced at the little guy and smiled: "No use objecting, it's your fault for not finishing your milk earlier!"
Wen Nuan had just finished speaking when Le Le ran to the kitchen in her Xiaomian slippers.
After a while, she took her toothbrush, stood on tiptoe, handed it to Wen Nuan, and said, "Mom, help me brush it!"
Wen Nuan looked at the child's adorable appearance and couldn't bear to do it anymore, so she took her toothbrush and said, "Okay, then you have to let me brush it clean, and don't cheat."
Every time this little guy brushes his teeth, he makes a "hmm" sound and spits out bubbles after a while.
However, the toothpaste of this era is indeed spicy, but Lele usually eats candy and chocolate, so Wen Nuan will always help her brush her teeth carefully.
Gu Qinghan was even more extreme. He would not stop until he had brushed the child's teeth clean, regardless of whether the child cried or not.
That's why Lele is so resistant to letting him brush his teeth.
Just when Wen Nuan thought the child was unwilling, Lele suddenly bared his teeth, opened his mouth, nodded vigorously, and said "hmm".
Wen Nuan glared at Gu Qinghan who chuckled over there and snorted, "I suspect you deliberately made the child so painful!"
Gu Qinghan couldn't keep calm for a moment, and defended himself with a smile: "Is it wrong for me to brush her carefully?"
Wen Nuan ignored him and took the child to the kitchen to brush their teeth. It was cold, so she didn't go to the bathroom anymore.
*
Wen Nuan and Le Le were lying flat on the kang. Seeing that it was not time to turn off the lights, Gu Qinghan lay down on the other side of Le Le and sandwiched the child in the middle.
Lele saw his father coming back, so he looked at him and asked, "Dad, did you wash your feet?"
"Mom said I can't get on the kang unless I wash my feet."
Gu Qinghan chuckled, turned sideways, looked at the child and his wife, and said, "Wash."
Lele pushed her father's shoulder again and asked, "Have you brushed your teeth?"
Gu Qinghan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Swipe it."
Wen Nuan yawned and said, "Stop making noise and go to sleep."
Lele suddenly shouted, "I'm not sleepy. Mom, play rock-paper-scissors with me."
As he spoke, he climbed up from the kang.
Wen Nuan stretched out her hand and pushed her back to the kang, covering her with a small quilt. "Gu Qinghan, turn off the light quickly. This guy will definitely not sleep if you don't turn off the light."
Gu Qinghan has long arms, so normally Wen Nuan has to get out of bed to turn on and off the lights, but he doesn't have to, he can just stretch out his hands.
Lele, however, held onto Gu Qinghan's arm and said with a smile, "Don't shut me up, Dad. I want to play with you for a while."
"Dad will play with you again tomorrow. Mom is tired, let her go to bed early." Having said that, Gu Qinghan turned off the lights, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.
Because I like to sleep in warm light, I installed curtains on the windows.
But the little guy didn't seem to be sleepy. He turned over in the dark, then lay on the kang and asked, "Dad, why don't you and your mom have a baby?"
Gu Qinghan didn't react to what this meant for a moment, but Lele said in a baby voice: "Uncle Zhou and Auntie have a baby."
In the darkness, Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan both fell silent.
Then Wen Nuan reached out and hugged the little guy into her arms, and said with a smile: "Little idiot, you are daddy and mommy's baby."
"No way!" Lele put her little feet on Gu Qinghan's arm and folded them up leisurely, saying, "I'm not a baby anymore!"
Wen Nuan knew what she meant. The baby Lele was talking about was as small as the baby in Sister Guihua's family. However, Lele might not understand that babies will grow up!
Gu Qinghan, who was standing by, asked her, "If you are not a baby, then what are you?"
The little guy actually thought about it seriously and said, "Xiaodong and Sister Xiaomei said I am a kid."
"Aunt Juxiang said that all the people who go to kindergarten are children."
Wen Nuan couldn't help laughing when she heard the child's cute words. She kissed her chubby face and said, "Okay, Lele, if you don't go to sleep, you won't be able to get up tomorrow, and you won't be able to see the baby when he wakes up."
This time, Lele finally calmed down, withdrew his little feet from Gu Qinghan, and yawned.
Just when Wen Nuan thought she was sleeping well, the little one asked softly after a long while: "Then mom, can you give birth to a baby?"
Wen Nuan was half asleep, about to fall asleep, and murmured incoherently: "Let your father give birth to the baby."
Gu Qinghan: “?”
Lele smiled and leaned towards Gu Qinghan, saying to him, "Dad, please give me a baby!"
In the darkness, the naive Lele was still waiting for Gu Qinghan's answer, but Gu Qinghan took a while to say, "Dad can't have children."
*
While Sister Guihua was in confinement after giving birth, her father, Uncle Zhang, sent her a second batch of dried seafood before winter.
This batch of dried seafood is still the same as the last time, with very good appearance and quality.
Wen Nuan happened to be free at this moment, and with the concerted efforts of dozens of workers, the first batch of supplies to be shipped to Dongjiang and the research institute was ready.
Commander Xu also personally arranged a small team to deliver the supplies to the border.
So Wen Nuan called sister-in-law Juxiang to help Uncle Zhang take inventory of the dried seafood. This batch of dried seafood could be sent to the research institute, and the restaurant where Chen Meijiao worked also ordered some.
Wen Nuan thought that the army was about to celebrate the New Year, so she kept some of them, intending to give everyone a good supplement during the New Year.
This time, Uncle Zhang brought the passbook opened by the production team. After checking the amount with Wen Nuan, he hurried to the staff quarters.
"Comrade Wen Nuan, I have to go over to see my sweet-scented osmanthus. I'll trouble you to follow up on the rest for us."
Seeing that Uncle Zhang really couldn't wait any longer, Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang. I will definitely follow up. Once all the military leaders sign tomorrow, I will ask the quartermaster to arrange for the payment to be made to you."
"Okay, okay." Uncle Zhang nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I will definitely feel at ease with Comrade Wen Nuan here."
"Then I'll go over to see Guihua and the kids first."
Seeing that Uncle Zhang was anxious, Wen Nuan asked, "Do you want me to ask Xiao Zhu to take you there?"
"No, no." Uncle Zhang waved his hand: "It's not far, I can just go there directly, I know the way."
Wen Nuan then reminded him: "Well, uncle, please be careful because the road is slippery."
After saying goodbye to them, Uncle Zhang went straight to the family compound.
Sister Juxiang looked at Uncle Zhang's anxious back and said with a smile, "Guihua finally got what she wanted this time. I'm so happy for her."
Sister Juxiang works in the logistics kitchen. When she is free, she will go to the processing factory to help. Although she is busy, her salary has doubled and she is very happy.
When Wen Nuan heard what Sister Juxiang said, she said, "Yes, Sister Guihua finally got what she wanted. Everyone is happy."
Then he added: "Little Lele often runs over to see the baby."
Speaking of Lele, sister-in-law Juxiang laughed and said to Wen Nuan, "Little Lele came to my house to play with Xiaodong and Xiaomei a few days ago. He kept asking them if they had a baby and asked me why I didn't have a baby like Guihua."
"I'm dying of laughter! Lele is so cute!"
Wen Nuan didn't expect the child to ask them this, and couldn't help but explain to her: "Maybe because the child is cute, she also asked me why I didn't give birth to a baby like Sister Guihua..."
Wen Nuan sometimes doesn't know how to explain to her children, but she just treats their words as childish talk. After all, she doesn't understand what they mean.
Sister Juxiang laughed out loud, and was also curious about when Wen Nuan would give birth to another child, or if she would give birth to another child at all. "Then what did you tell her?"
"Are you and Deputy Captain Gu planning to have another one?"
Many people in the family compound gave birth one after another, but Wen Nuan was different. She had a job. Although it was not a position, she was actually busier than the quartermaster.
Everyone in the factory knows who to listen to.
Moreover, Wen Nuan doted on her children so much that she was willing to buy them new clothes, new shoes, food and toys. So Deng Juxiang also suspected that Wen Nuan might just want one child.
At this moment, Wen Nuan laughed and said, "I don't know."
This matter was not decided by her alone, but Gu Qinghan never mentioned having another child, and he was also very conscious in taking measures every time.
The two of them hadn't specifically discussed this matter, so they just assumed that they didn't want it.
Recently I saw that Sister Guihua gave birth to a baby, and Lele loved her so much, so Wen Nuan was actually a little moved.
She calculated that there were still more than three years before the college entrance examination, so it would be okay to have another one now.
I just don't know if Gu Qinghan will let her keep trying to have a son...
Wen Nuan lived in a staff housing compound in her hometown for a while. Although there is generally a preference for boys over girls in this era, it seems to be even more serious there.
Gu Qinghan's mother had it written all over her face that she had to give birth to a son. She even wrote to them to ask if they were pregnant with a second child...
When Sister Juxiang heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "How could you not know about this?"
Then, Sister Juxiang asked, "Don't you guys... have sex as husband and wife?"
To be honest, the reason why the military wives in the family compound give birth one after another is mainly because they have nothing to do at night...
A young couple lies together every day, isn't that the case
You'll win once a year, right
Could it be that what Lele said at her house that day was true
Is it true that Deputy Captain Gu is infertile
Thinking of this, Sister Juxiang discovered that Wen Nuan had been in this family compound for two years, but there was indeed no movement from the two of them.
Wen Nuan subconsciously glanced at the warehouse, and when she found no one there, she nodded: "Go ahead..."
Sister Juxiang looked incredulous, "Then how could you..."
Deputy Head Gu doesn't look like a weak person!!
Sister Juxiang asked again: "Could it be that you have already had an IUD inserted?"
"Or... Deputy Captain Gu..."
Really not? ?
"No." Wen Nuan looked at Sister Juxiang's expression and knew that she had misunderstood, so she blushed and said, "It was Gu Qinghan who took action."
Sister Juxiang was even more curious. What else could men do
She thought about getting an IUD because she had already given birth to three children and happened to get a job in the kitchen. But Wen Nuan only has one child, so is she really not going to want one
In the shocked eyes of Sister Juxiang, Wen Nuan leaned close to her ear and said that Gu Qinghan went to the hospital to get some family planning supplies.
Sister Juxiang was shocked as if struck by lightning and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, Sister Juxiang, you don't need to get an IUD. Isn't that bad for your health?" Wen Nuan didn't quite understand this, but she had heard that there would be some reactions after having an IUD, so it's better not to have one if possible.
When Sister Juxiang heard Wen Nuan say this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Then I'll let Lao Zhao take care of it from now on!"
Wen Nuan was too embarrassed to say more. This was a matter between the two of them, so let them discuss it.
Just as the two were about to go back to the kitchen, Huang Yueying's voice suddenly came from outside the warehouse. Wen Nuan frowned, then took a notebook and walked into another place where dried vegetables were placed.
I said to sister-in-law Juxiang: "If Huang Yueying comes to see me, sister-in-law, just tell her I'm not here."
Deng Juxiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, this person has bad intentions. Just wait and see how I deal with her."
Just when Wen Nuan was about to tell her to ignore the other person, Deng Juxiang walked out with her fists ready.
Soon, Wen Nuan heard Huang Yueying's screams. When she came out, she saw two big fat pigs chasing Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying was chased directly to the pig shed at the back and accidentally fell into the pig shed...
When she came out, her clothes were still stained with pig manure, and it was so smelly that everyone wanted to stay ten meters away from her.
The quartermaster heard the noise and came out. Seeing Huang Yueying's miserable condition, although he felt a little sorry for her, he still said to her bluntly: "Comrade Huang, you can't even feed the pigs properly. It's hard for me to help you. You are really not suitable for us!"
Wen Nuan guessed that Sister Juxiang gave her a little test, but Huang Yueying messed it up herself.
It's useless to give her a chance, so there's nothing we can do.
Huang Yueying was in a mess. Seeing Wen Nuan busy for a long time and still making everything tidy, with her clothes not even stained with flour, she became so angry that she turned around and left, crying.
I really want to applaud Wen Nuan, at least it can bring us another year or two of peace.
At the same time, Dongjiang Border Station.
It was snowing heavily here, and the snow was more than one meter deep. The 146th Army received a batch of supplies from the North City.
Everyone looked at the packaged bags of food and became a little curious.
Xiao Liang from the border station took out a package of something with pickled fish written on it, then looked at the instructions and said to his comrade beside him: "It seems very convenient?"
"Have you sliced the fish for us?"
The comrade rubbed his hands together, exhaled a breath of white air into his hands, and said, "Don't just stand there, I'm starving. Hurry up and boil some water. We can cook one and then we'll know."
The comrade looked at the packaging bag with other dishes on it and said, "I want to eat mushroom chicken. Damn, I haven't eaten mushrooms in years. Stew some for me."
When winter comes, the border is covered with ice and snow. The fishes delivered have to be taken back to the house with a firewall to thaw. It takes more than half an hour to complete the operation.
For convenience, they usually make steamed buns and wowotou, but they soon freeze into bricks.
Xiao Liang looked at the operating instructions and found it couldn't be simpler. He simply opened the package and put the mushroom chicken handed to him by his comrade on the cooking rice.
He boiled a pot of snow water and put the sauerkraut and seasoning packet directly in. When it started to boil again, he poured in the remaining packet of fish fillets and chili powder.
In an instant, two different kinds of delicious aromas emerged from the small room. Xiao Liang couldn't wait to take his lunch box and said to his comrades: "Come on, come on, it's time to eat!"
The comrade was about to clean his own wooden warehouse, but when he heard Xiao Liang say that, his eyes widened, "Is it done already?"
Just as he asked this question, he already smelled a burst of fresh fragrance. Mu Cang didn't even bother to wipe it off. He quickly put it down and walked over.
Xiao Liang had already picked up a piece of fish fillet covered with red oil and tasted it: "Why are you standing there? It's time to eat. Hurry up or I'll finish it all by myself!"
"Oh my god, please leave some for me!" Seeing that Xiao Liang couldn't wait to eat, the comrade couldn't help but take out the lunch box and fill some for him.
The two had been hungry for so long, and they didn’t expect to have hot meals so soon, and they were so delicious and tasty. How could they not be excited
After Xiao Liang took a few bites of the fish, he thought it would be tough, but it turned out to be as fresh and tender as if it had just been slaughtered. It was so tender and delicious that it brought tears to his eyes.
"I forgot how long it has been since I last had something so delicious!"
The summer here is too short and the winter is too long, so eating vegetables and meat is just a fantasy. But now, I can eat fresh and fragrant pickled fish and mushroom chicken in just a few minutes, which really makes me want to cry.
Xiao Liang choked up and said, "I'm so happy today. I feel like it's Chinese New Year!"
The comrade was almost moved to tears by the fragrance, eating his meal in big mouthfuls, "Today is Chinese New Year!"
*
In the blink of an eye, it was December and the North City had completely entered a deep winter. The snow in the staff quarters was already 50 to 60 centimeters deep.
That day, Wen Nuan had just returned to the kitchen team when the quartermaster asked her to go to his office.
During this period, there were many things, big and small, and Wen Nuan didn't know how many small meetings she had with the quartermaster, and she had become very familiar with it.
She packed up briefly and said to Lele who came with her, "Lele, you and Brother Xiao Zhu go pick up eggs. Mom has something to talk to Uncle Quartermaster."
After winter came in the northern city, there were fewer warm jobs to do. People often stayed at home, and the factories were also operating in shifts.
Wen Nuan originally didn't plan to bring Lele to the kitchen today, but maybe it was because the little one had just woken up and didn't want to be with anyone else but stayed with Wen Nuan, so she had to bring her to the kitchen.
When Lele heard Wen Nuan say this, he immediately responded, "Okay, I'll go pick up the eggs. Mom, come pick me up later."
Then he took Xiao Zhu's hand and said to him, "Brother Zhu, let's go pick up eggs."
Xiao Zhu smiled and held Lele's soft and chubby little hand, "Okay, let's go pick up eggs!"
Wen Nuan saw Lele obediently following Xiao Zhu to the chicken coop, so she put her thoughts aside and walked over to knock on the door of the quartermaster's office.
Seeing that the quartermaster was already sitting in his seat waiting for her, Wen Nuan asked, "Quartier, are you looking for me?"
The quartermaster seemed to be in a good mood. When he saw Wen Nuan coming, he stood up and poured her a glass of water.
The quartermaster smiled, motioned for her to sit down, and then said, "There's a letter from the East Xinjiang border."
Wen Nuan didn't know what the quartermaster meant, so she asked him, "Is this written for our kitchen staff?"
Wen Nuan didn't know anyone at the East Frontier, except for the suppliers of quick dishes, so she was a little confused.
The quartermaster handed the letter in his hand to Wen Nuan, then smiled and said, "No, to be precise, this is a thank-you letter and a letter of praise for you. It was written by Division Commander Deng of the 146th Division himself, and he specifically mentioned thanking you."
When Wen Nuan heard this, she couldn't hide her excitement.
She opened the letter and took a quick look. The letter was actually addressed to the factory, but her name was specifically mentioned in the letter.
Wen Nuan guessed that Commander Deng must have contacted the leaders of their air force base to know her.
After Wen Nuan finished reading, she looked up at the quartermaster and said, "This letter should be given to our kitchen staff and everyone in the factory. Quartermaster, you should let everyone read it together."
Wen Nuan was just the first person to solve the problem of quick dishes, but in the final analysis, it still depends on the concerted efforts of all the people in the factory to get these things done, and she doesn't want to take credit for it.
And to be honest, this is the credit of the entire North City troops.
If it weren't for the trust of the leaders, how could there be such a good response, and she wouldn't be able to perform freely.
Hearing Wen Nuan's words, the quartermaster smiled and said, "Of course, I will show you when the time comes. But if it weren't for you in our kitchen team, we wouldn't have the factory we have now."
The quartermaster took a sip of tea and continued, "Our Division Commander Xu said that he would praise you at the Spring Festival Gala. This is also what Division Commander Deng of the 146th Army meant. We must let us praise you."
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Master Xu and Master Deng first."
If it was just pure praise, Wen Nuan thought it was okay.
But she added: "Please tell the quartermaster to tell Commander Xu and praise everyone in the factory for their hard work. After all, everyone has been working day and night. Without their hard work, we wouldn't be able to sort out all the supplies so smoothly."
The quartermaster looked at Wen Nuan and said with a smile, "Of course. Don't worry, everyone will be rewarded."
Then, the quartermaster handed Wen Nuan another document and said, "Here is this for you. Take a good look at it. If you have no objection, please sign it."
Wen Nuan guessed that the quartermaster was going to let her take on another position, so she said directly: "Quartermaster, I've said it before, I don't plan to take on any position. I feel relieved to have you and Lao Zhong in the factory."
The quartermaster is now the factory director, and Lao Zhong is the deputy director. With them around, Wen Nuan feels really relieved.
Besides, after taking up that position, she would definitely not be that free, and Wen Nuan refused in her heart.
This is also good, as it can help both the border guards and the comrades in the research institute.
Moreover, her salary has doubled and is now more than 100 yuan. She is really happy now.
The quartermaster smiled and looked at Wen Nuan, saying, "You're rejecting it without even taking a look?"
"Take it and have a look. You won't be disappointed."
Facing the mysterious look of the chief steward, Wen Nuan still took the document. When she saw the words on it, she typed two question marks.
She looked at the quartermaster in shock and asked, "What's going on?"
The quartermaster smiled and said, "This is what our commander Xu meant. The factory has good performance this year, and we plan to give you dividends."
warmth:"!!!"
