Early the next morning, Han Aiguo returned to the army for reinstatement. Su Yue didn't even know when he left. It was almost nine o'clock when she woke up.
She walked into the kitchen and saw that there was porridge in the pot with two steamed buns hot on it. It seemed that Han Aiguo got up early to make it. She couldn't help but smile. After drinking a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, she started to get busy.
She washed the snow lily that she bought from a family in Xiaowang Village yesterday, put it into the jar she bought, added salt to pickle it, put it on the lid after pickling, and took it out to eat as a side dish after a while.
After pickling the mustard, she marinated the meat she bought from the supply and marketing agency with salt. After a few days, the salt tasted good, and then it was dried outside to become bacon. When eating, put it in the pot with rice. After leaving a circle in the pot, it tastes very fragrant. Anyway, Han Aiguo likes to eat it.
When she was done, Su Yue took out the flour and started making pastries. She made some cakes, and some red bean cakes and bean paste cakes.
Seeing these cakes, Su Yue sighed regretfully. She thought about whether she could secretly find an opportunity to sell some cakes to make money when she arrived in the army, but when she came here, she found that the facts were far from her imagination. Here is the army. In such a remote place, no one would buy her cakes at all, so she can't be allowed to sell to other family members in the building. It's not like saying to others: Hey, I'm in business.
If someone with jealous eyes sees it and reports it, it's over.
If you can't sell it nearby, you can only go to Wenxiang Commune to sell it, but to go to the commune you have to take a bus, and there are other people on the bus. Every time I take so many cakes out on the shuttle bus, other people in the car will definitely find clues. If someone who cares follows her behind and observes, they can find out what she is doing, which is really too dangerous.
If he was reported by others, Han Aiguo would never be able to escape, and he wouldn't even want to be a soldier. She knows the significance of the army to Han Aiguo, so she must not make fun of Han Aiguo's future, and would rather not make money than take risks.
So here, the road of selling cakes will not work. It seems that in the future, I can only live on the subsidies of Han Aiguo. Fortunately, she made a lot of money in her hand before, and she can still live by saving some money in the future.
When Han Aiguo came back from training in the evening, the cakes made by Su Yue just cooled down, and they tasted the best now, so she said to him, "Let's visit next door now."
Han Aiguo picked up the cake and nodded, "Let's go, let's visit and come back for dinner."
The two walked to the next door, heard the sound, there was someone inside, so they knocked on the door, and after a while someone came to open the door, the man inside the door was very happy to see Han Aiguo, "Aiguo, come in quickly. This is brother and sister. Well, hello hello."
Su Yue greeted him with a smile.
Han Aiguo handed the pastry to Feng Junwei, "This is the pastry made by my wife, I'll give you some to try."
Feng Junwei hurriedly took it over, "Oh, why are you so polite, come here and take something, don't do it next time."
He brought two more chairs for them to sit down, and said to Fang Xiaoli, who had been sitting on the chairs without speaking or moving: "Hurry up and bring two glasses of water to Aiguo and them."
Fang Xiaoli raised her eyes and glanced at Han Aiguo and Su Yue, and then poured the water unhurriedly. When it came, she didn't speak, not even a polite word.
Feng Junwei was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject, "patriotic, eat at my house tonight, our house has just finished cooking."
But just after he finished speaking, Fang Xiaoli pinched him so hard behind him that he almost screamed out, but when outsiders were present, he had to hold back the pain and continue to talk to Han Aiguo as if nothing had happened.
How could Su Yue not notice Fang Xiaoli's little actions, it was a little funny in her heart, do the couple seem to like to take advantage of others' homes? It's not easy for anyone these days, even if someone invites them, they won't agree to eat at other people's houses at will.
Is she so defensive
If this Fang Xiaoli is not very stingy, then she doesn't want to see them, but they have just arrived, what's the reason she doesn't want to see them
Su Yue couldn't figure it out, but since people didn't welcome them, they wouldn't chase after them, so she stood up and said, "Feng Company Commander, our family's dinner is already ready, if we don't eat it, it will get cold. We will eat it now. Go home to eat, you're welcome."
Han Aiguo also stood up, disregarding Feng Junwei's persuasion, and left with Su Yue.
In fact, he could also see that Fang Xiaoli was not very enthusiastic about them.
Feng Junwei had no choice but to send the two out of the door politely, until he saw that the two had entered the house and closed the door, then turned around and pulled his face down, the other side Xiaoli said angrily, "Fang Xiaoli, what do you mean? People come to the house and don't even know how to pour water. , I'll call my comrades for dinner, why are you pinching me!"
Fang Xiaoli's face was also not very good, and she rolled her eyes at him, "We made dinner for two in the evening. What did you ask them to eat for the two of us?"
"Wouldn't it be better to do more? As for being so stingy like you!"
"Feng Junwei, do you think we don't need money for food? We can live with your one month allowance? If it weren't for my salary, do you think our family would be able to live so well? You're being very generous here! "
Feng Junwei ripped his short hair angrily, "Fang Xiaoli, don't tell me this, do you think I don't know you? Don't you just despise Han Aiguo and his wife?"
He knows his wife too well. His daughter-in-law, because she is from the city and works in a supply and marketing cooperative, has high self-esteem and always looks down on the rural people. The attitude of Han Aiguo and his wife.
Fang Xiaoli was dismantled and turned away from him, "I'm too lazy to talk to you."
Feng Junwei was afraid that she would still be lukewarm to Han Aiguo and his wife in the future, so he took a deep breath and told her the truth, "Xiao Li, you can't just look at other people's births. It doesn't mean that you won't develop in the future, and you don't look down on others when they are not born well."
Fang Xiaoli pouted her lips disdainfully, "How can that Han Aiguo have the ability? I heard that you have been in the army for more than ten years, and you are almost thirty years old. You have only become a battalion commander. You are only twenty-six years old and already The company commander. This shows that he does not have that ability, what can such a person have to develop?"
Feng Junwei pointed at her, afraid of being heard by the next door, so he suppressed his voice and said, "As the company commander of Han Aiguo, I have worked with Han Aiguo for so many years, do I not know if he has the ability? His ability is definitely not mine. Come on, if I really talk about my skills, I'm not necessarily comparable to others."
Fang Xiaoli obviously didn't believe it, "Come on, since you are so capable, why are you still a battalion commander?"
Feng Junwei felt that his wife was a pig's brain. She only knew how to look at things on the surface, and she never thought about the inside. At the moment, he said in a lower voice: "His ability is no problem, but he is not very lucky. He has made a lot of military achievements, but he has not been able to rise up."
Fang Xiaoli pursed her lips after hearing this, and muttered after a while: "This shows that he is not a human being, and only ability is nothing. I see, if he can't ascend now, he can't ascend, how do you know that he will suddenly change. it is good?"
Feng Junwei suddenly didn't know what to say. Judging from the development of Han Aiguo over the years, it is estimated that it is really difficult to rise.
——
Neither Su Yue nor Han Aiguo took this to heart. They should eat and drink. After a few days, it was time to go to the old carpenter to pull the sofa. Han Aiguo didn't have time to talk to her because of training. Go together, find a pillar and drive her there.
Su Yue and Zhuzi first went to the commune, went to the slaughtering team to buy several kilograms of meat, and then spent money to buy water and bones that did not require a ticket, and finally went to buy some other ingredients and necessary items, and then they were fully loaded. Went to Xiaowang Village.
Su Yue entered the old carpenter's house. The old carpenter recognized her as soon as she came in, and said with a smile, "Come and pull the sofa? I've already made it. Come and have a look."
As the old carpenter brought Su Yue and the pillars into the main room, Su Yue saw the combination of solid wood lounge chairs and sofas placed in the most conspicuous position at a glance, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Originally thought it would not look very good, but unexpectedly, the sofa is quite good-looking, in the middle is a long lounge chair, the back is carved with exquisite patterns, the surface is wood grain yellow, and it is simple and thick. The luster is not dull and old-fashioned, but has a bit of antique flavor, which is quite in line with classical aesthetics.
There is a single lounge chair of the same style on both sides of the bench, and a homologous wooden coffee table in the middle of the three seats.
Putting this set aside, the effect is really good.
Su Yue thanked the old carpenter: "Master Wang, your fight is really good, thank you for your hard work."
It can be seen that Su Yue is very satisfied, and the old carpenter is very proud, and it is not a loss for him to play this sofa without eating or sleeping these days.
Now Su Yue completely believed in the craftsmanship of the old carpenter. As expected of a well-known carpenter, the craftsmanship is really not bragging.
She suddenly regained her spirits, took out a blueprint she drew at home from her pocket, handed it to him, and asked, "Master Wang, can you make me something else?"
When the old carpenter looked at the drawings, he had never seen or typed it before, and immediately asked inquiringly, "What is this? A cupboard? But it doesn't look like it, it's a little shorter, and it doesn't look like a bedside table."
Su Yue shook her head, "No, Master Wang, this is a shoe cabinet specially used for shoes, I figured it out myself. You see, this layer can be used for shoes, and the two drawers on the side can be used to store shoes. Use it to put some umbrellas, keys, and other small things you need to go out."
Su Yue's paintings are not good-looking, but the specific outline and function can still be seen. This shoe cabinet was painted by Su Yue in a modern style. She wanted to place one at the door so that it would be easier to change shoes later.
She felt that it was too ugly to leave shoes on the ground at the door, and it was easy to smell. A shoe cabinet can solve these problems.
It was the first time that the old carpenter saw such a shoe cabinet. After listening to Su Yue's introduction, he immediately became interested. He looked at it carefully, and the more he looked, the brighter his eyes became. He nodded and said, "Medium! I'll call you one."
Su Yue asked, "How long will it take?"
The old carpenter thought for a while, and said, "Other people's homes always ask our carpenters to come to the door to make furniture, but yours has to pull it home by itself. It's inconvenient to come and pull it every time. If you're not in a hurry, I'll call you right now, it will take half a day, and you can ship it back with the sofa, but after you go back, don't rush to use it, and let the paint on the surface dry first."
It's not noon yet, and Su Yue is naturally willing to wait, so that next time she doesn't have to bother to borrow a car to run around.
"Then I'll trouble you, Master Wang. We'll be waiting here and help you by the way."
The old carpenter waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need to thank you, I can be considered a bit of your light, and I can do more novel things in the future." He still likes to study new-style furniture.
After finishing speaking, the old carpenter said again: "Since you are willing to wait here, then help me, lift the board, hand over things, so that it will be done faster."
It happened that Zhuzi would do carpentry work, so he and the two apprentices of the old carpenter helped plan wood and cut boards, and Su Yue was beside him to help him. , the brand new shoe cabinet is completed.
The two apprentices of the old carpenter helped them move the sofa and shoe cabinet to the truck. The pillar started the truck and carried Su Yue back to the family building.
The furniture brought back this time caused a huge sensation in the family building. Women who had nothing to do at home gathered around the building to watch, whispering something, and some women came up to talk to Su Yue and asked Dong Dong. Ask West.
A eldest sister in her thirties who was holding her baby pulled Su Yue and asked, "Eldest sister, why did your house move furniture again? Didn't you just move it last time?"
Su Yue explained with a smile: "I didn't finish the move last time, this time I moved the rest back."
The eldest sister stuck her head at the door and looked at the sofa and shoe cabinet for a while, and then asked, "I think this thing is strange, what is it? I haven't seen it before, sister, tell me."
Su Yue had no choice but to explain it to her. After listening to this, the eldest sister immediately tutted, "Sister, this sofa and shoe cabinet must be very expensive, right? This is something that people like us can afford. Your family seems to be rich, but isn't your man from the countryside, and he's just a battalion commander. My man is also a battalion commander, but my family can't even eat. Where does your family get the money to buy these precious things? "
After finishing speaking, she smiled and pulled La Suyue's arm, and asked as if the two were very close: "Sister, why don't you tell the eldest sister, how does your family make money? Is there any way?"
Su Yue was not very happy when she heard this. Why is this person's words sour? It's not a good idea to hear it.
Besides, how can my family make money and tell you in front of so many people
Su Yue didn't want to pay attention to her, turned around and went into the house to continue working.
When this woman saw Su Yue, she ignored her and made a fuss. She became unhappy and said, "Hey, why do you ignore people? Could it be that you discriminate against us if you have money? As a military sister-in-law, you You can't do that kind of discrimination."
This person also put a big hat on her, and Su Yue was about to turn around and say a few words to her, but she didn't expect someone to speak before her, "I said Wang Lianying, it's none of your business to buy furniture, whether they have money or not. What's your business? You open your mouth and don't say good things here, so why should people care about you? If it was me, I wouldn't care about you. "
Su Yue turned her head and saw that she was talking about a woman in her thirties. She wore Sister Jiang's head and was dressed very plainly. She was knitting a sweater with a ball of wool in her arms. Affects her speed.
At first glance, Su Yue felt that this eldest sister was a cheerful person, and she had a straight mind.
The woman named Wang Lianying was attacked by her, and she immediately put her hands on her hips and said: "Ma Cuiyun, I didn't talk to you again, why are you interrupting? You say I'm nosy, don't you mind your own business? It's none of your business what I say!"
Ma Cuiyun squinted and smiled, "I just can't get used to you not being able to see other people's good looks all day long. It's their business to have money to buy furniture, why should they tell you how to make money? Don't know whether you are sour all day long. Qiudi is staring at people, and when you have that time, it is better to go home and clean up your house, so that your man thinks the house is sloppy and wants to clean up you every day."
Everyone in the compound knew that Wang Lianying's men would take care of her from time to time. In addition to her being so rude and arguing with others, there was another important reason, that is, Wang Lianying was a particularly sloppy woman. It's like a pig's nest, it's almost invisible, and he doesn't know how to clean up all day long. His men can't see it. After arguing with her many times, it's useless. Later, he started to do it.
Every time the husband and wife set hands on the whole building, Wang Lianying could be heard crying for his father and mother.
This is also a topic of discussion after dinner in the family home, and everyone laughs when they talk about it.
"You!" Wang Lianying was stabbed in the lung tube by her words, and rushed out with an angry voice, hugging the child, "Ma Cuiyun, I will fight with you today!"
The child was so frightened that she didn't care.
Seeing that she was about to rush to fight, several other women hurried up to stop them, persuading them: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, and have something to say, if you fight, you won't be able to implicate your own man, Wang Lianying, think about the last time things."
Sometimes women make trouble, and it also affects the future of men.
As soon as Wang Lianying heard this, she suddenly remembered that last time she was sued to the army leader because she fought with others in the family home. Her man was called by the leader to scold her, and the man came back and beat her hard again. meal.
She trembled in her heart, and the tussle slowed down.
But for the sake of face, she still shoved in Ma Cuiyun's direction, spit all the way, and scolded: "If my baby hadn't cried, I'd have to stop with you!"
After saying that, he turned around and went back upstairs.
Ma Cuiyun was splashed by her saliva, and was so angry that she immediately put down her wool and wanted to go over to her. Seeing this, Su Yue quickly grabbed her and persuaded: "Sister Ma, don't make it a big deal, there are so many here. The soldier is looking at it, and the reputation of his own man is not good."
Ma Cuiyun saw that there were indeed several little soldiers who were moving furniture watching. If they saw him fighting someone, it would be bad for his man. So he had to suppress his anger and stop the urge to go up and tear Wang Lianying up.
The women who were watching the lively around saw that things had calmed down and there was nothing to see, so they went back to their respective houses to work.
The little soldiers also moved the furniture at this time, and left after talking to Su Yue.
Now that no one was there, Su Yue said to Ma Cuiyun, "Sister Ma, come in and sit down."
Ma Cuiyun thought about it for a while, but did not refuse, and followed Su Yue in. She felt that Su Yue was very suitable for her eyes. Although this girl was very good-looking, she looked different from a rough person like her, but she didn't know. Why, she somehow felt that this girl would definitely get along with her.
