kindergarten
The little ones all sat together, listening to Lu Haici telling stories. Next to Lu Haici was a lunch box, which was open. The cereal rolls inside were gone, but replaced by other things, including fruit candies, small cakes, and small biscuits.
When he arrived at the kindergarten in the morning, Lu Haici shared his wheat roll with everyone, and received gifts from everyone in return. Especially Qin Ming, who gave him two small cakes. One was the small cake he had agreed to exchange with Lu Haici yesterday, and the other was the small cake he exchanged with Lu Haici's wheat roll today.
“… the one that came out of the stone is Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong is very powerful and specializes in beating up bad guys…” Lu Haici said in a baby voice, and when that baby voice mentioned Sun Wukong, it was full of envy.
Qin Ming asked: "Why did Sun Wukong come out of a stone? We are all born by our mothers, so isn't he born by his mother?"
Lu Haici said: "Sun Wukong is a monkey, not a human, so the monkey should have come out of the stone, right?"
A child asked: "Let's go pick up stones. Can Sun Wukong be born from the stones?"
Lu Haici was confused by the question: "I... I don't know, my mother didn't tell me."
Ji Yang suggested: "Then when you go home for lunch at noon, ask your aunt if Sun Wukong can be born from the stones we pick up. Let's go pick up stones after school."
Lu Haici heard it and said, "Okay then."
Lin Qingqing didn't know that because of her bedtime story, the other children were going to pick up stones to raise Sun Wukong.
At this time, the car arrived at the gate of the family compound.
Although the houses in the staff quarters are not built densely, the logistics vehicles are larger than modern cars, so they can only be driven outside and cannot be driven inside.
After the car stopped at the gate of the family compound, Lu Cheng said to Lin Qingqing: "Just wait for a while, I'll go get someone to help."
Lin Qingqing: "Okay."
After a while, Lu Cheng called three male comrades over. When they saw Lin Qingqing, they first greeted her enthusiastically, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Lin smiled at them gently: "Hello."
Lu Cheng said to Lin Qingqing: "You can go home first. We will probably have to move two or three times."
Lin Qingqing: "Then I'll take some back. Is there anything I can take?"
Lu Cheng jumped onto the truck bed and took out a bunch of meat: "You take this."
Lin Qingqing was surprised: "Did you buy meat?" She and Yu Xiuyao went to the county town at about this time yesterday, and there was no meat at all. She didn't expect Lu Cheng to be so lucky today. This string of meat weighs about three or four pounds.
Lu Cheng didn't elaborate, just nodded.
Lin Qingqing carried the meat and went home happily.
On the way, I saw a few acquaintances, and everyone greeted them enthusiastically: "Deputy Colonel Lu's wife is here."
"Oh, Deputy Colonel Lu's wife, are you eating meat today? There's quite a lot of meat, can you bring some back to our family?" someone took the opportunity to ask.
Lin Qingqing smiled and refused: "That won't do. My family is having a dinner party today, and I still think there's not enough meat. This dinner party won't look good without meat dishes. I'm sorry, sister-in-law."
"What's the big deal? Of course it's your family that's treating us." The other party asked casually.
Lin smiled gently and walked through the crowd.
Many military wives behind him murmured, "This girl is so pretty and polite. Look at how she defended Lu Haici yesterday. Lu Haici is so lucky." What should I do if I meet a heartless stepmother
"Deputy Captain Lu is not stupid. He must have known that she is a good person, so he married her."
"Captain Ji's wife in our family compound is also a good one."
"Yes, yes, yes. So whether a stepmother is good or not depends on whether the man has good vision."
Lin Qingqing naturally didn't know what the women were talking about. As soon as she got home, she put the meat in the kitchen, and then put the things she bought in the room. Then she went back to the kitchen to take out four bowls and poured four cups of cold boiled water for the people who would move things later. Then, she took out the rice, washed it, and put it in the clay pot. It was almost eleven o'clock now, and it would be too late to make lunch later.
They were not bluffing when they said they would treat us to dinner just now. They really planned to treat us tonight. Lin Qingqing was well now, so the sisters-in-law who had sent her to the hospital that day had to treat them to a meal, and then invite a few people who were close to Lu Cheng. They had agreed on this in the car.
So we had to have a big dinner in the evening, and eat a little more casually at noon. Lin Qingqing planned to make minced meat and eggplant rice. Lu Cheng happened to have bought the meat, and the eggplant was sent by Xu Huijuan. If the eggplant was not eaten, it would not last long in the hot weather.
It takes thirty to forty minutes for the rice to cook. The stove was burning, and Lin Qingqing watched them move things. It took four big men two trips to move everything, which shows that there were a lot of things.
Seeing that they had finished moving their things, Lin Qingqing handed them some cold boiled water: "Thank you, you have worked hard, have a drink of water to quench your thirst."
"No thanks, sister-in-law. Thank you, sister-in-law." The men politely refused and ran away immediately.
Lin Qingqing looked at Lu Cheng helplessly: "They didn't even have a glass of water."
Lu Cheng said: "Don't worry about them... How do we put these things?"
Lin Qingqing took a look and had to admit that Lu Cheng bought a lot of things this time. In addition to the bricks and cement needed to separate the hut, there was also a lot of food, 20 kilograms of rice, 5 kilograms of flour, 30 kilograms of potatoes, 30 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 30 kilograms of corn flour. She didn't know where he bought it from. Did he empty out the place? However, Lin Qingqing didn't ask him where he bought it from. Anyway, with his experience, he must know what he is doing. And with their current "cohabitation" relationship, she didn't need to ask.
"Put these grains in another empty room. There are some in the kitchen now, so there is no need to move them there." Otherwise, it would not be appropriate for guests to come in and out of the kitchen and see so much grain.
Lu Cheng nodded and started to move the food.
Lin Qingqing was not idle either. She carried some vegetables into the kitchen, including cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, green vegetables, cabbage, kelp, loofah, pumpkin, a basket of eggs, two live fish, and some cooking condiments.
By the time Lu Cheng had moved the food, Lin Qingqing had already prepared the dishes and was cutting meat in the kitchen. She cut off half a pound of lean meat from the large bunch of meat, as minced meat and eggplant were more delicious with lean meat.
It was very inconvenient without a meat-mincing tool, so she could only cut the meat into strips by herself and then slowly cut it into small pieces.
"Do you need help?" Lu Cheng came to the kitchen door.
Lin Qingqing heard this and hurriedly said, "Come on, chop all the meat into small pieces. We'll make minced meat and eggplant rice for lunch. We'll have a dinner party tonight, so let's keep it simple for lunch."
Lu Cheng had no objection: "I'm not picky about food."
While Lu Cheng was cutting the meat, Lin Qingqing was not idle either. She washed a loofah and cut it into long strips. She planned to make a light loofah and egg soup, with only minced meat and eggplant rice but no soup. What if she choked
As Lu Cheng was chopping the meat, he saw her preparing other dishes in an orderly manner. He asked with a bit of curiosity: "Is this what you call a culinary talent?" After all, although her movements were not fast or agile, they were neither hurried nor flustered, and she did not look like a novice at all.
"Ah?" Lin Qingqing didn't react for a moment.
"You said you have a talent for cooking. You learned it by watching your grandma cook." Lu Cheng said.
Lin Qingqing then remembered what she said yesterday: "Yes, don't you think I have any talent in cooking?" She admitted it guiltily.
Lu Cheng chuckled. He had probably never seen such an immodest person before.
Lin Qingqing heard his brief laughter and couldn't help but look at him. After a glance, she quickly looked away. Beauty is poisonous, it is better to look less.
"I asked about the chef job you mentioned last night. Whether it is the big canteen or the company canteen, they can indeed arrange a chef job, but they need a chef, not miscellaneous positions such as vegetable washers." Lu Cheng said.
When Lin Qingqing heard that there was an opportunity, she said happily: "What I want is the position of chef." She looked at Lu Cheng again, her eyes sparkling, "But is there any difference between the company's canteen and the big canteen?" It was the first time she knew this.
Lu Cheng analyzed: "The company cafeteria is... the big cafeteria is... so you see, which one do you want? However, no matter which one you choose, you have to interview, which means you have to cook on the spot."
Lin Qingqing thought for a moment: "If this is the company's cafeteria, when the company goes on a mission, will people like me who are not on the staff get a day off?"
Lu Cheng said: "Yes, relatively speaking, the salary will be lower. If it is a large cafeteria, with one day off per week, the salary will be higher, but at the same time, it will definitely be very busy."
Lin frowned slightly. She seemed to have overlooked one thing. She wanted to find a job as a chef because in this era, the only thing she could do was cook. However, she forgot that this was the general environment. When she was a food anchor, she could cook one dish at a time, but in this environment, all she cooked were big pot dishes. In other words, with her hands, she couldn't cook big pot dishes at all.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing asked, "Lu Cheng, can I arrange for the people in the cafeteria to teach me how to cook instead of doing it myself? With my strength, I'm afraid I can't cook for a large group of people."
Lu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it won't work in the canteen. Even the head chef has to cook in the canteen. You can try the company canteen. You can go to the company canteen under me, but there is a condition. Your cooking skills must be able to convince the people in the kitchen team, so that they can willingly accept your arrangement.
However, the salary of the company is different from that of the canteen. Although the chefs in the canteen are also non-staff, their salary is the same as that of the workers with a stable job. The salary of the non-staff employees in the company canteen is 15 yuan per month, but this 15 yuan is based on the assumption that they are working except for the prescribed rest time every month.
Sometimes the company will go out on a mission as a whole team. If the whole team goes out on a mission, the non-staff members do not have to work, and their wages will be deducted on their rest days, about 50 cents a day. Of course, if the company does not go out on a mission as a whole team, the comrades who stay will continue to eat in the company cafeteria. At that time, the meals of the remaining comrades will be the responsibility of the non-staff members. The four comrades in the cooking squad will leave with the comrades on the mission... "
Lu Cheng explained it in great detail, and Lin Qingqing understood it immediately: "I see, I want to give it a try." Lin Qingqing thought it was good, and if the company went on a mission, she would take it as a break. In fact, she didn't like the "nine to five" working life like in the cafeteria. It's a pity that there are no jobs with flexible working hours in this era.
Lu Cheng: "Okay, I'll take you to the company cafeteria this afternoon... Is this meat ok?"
Lin Qingqing looked at the fine meat, which had already been chopped into small pieces, and nodded: "It's OK, you can go now."
You go...
Lu Cheng glanced at her and felt that her words were a bit cruel, but Lu Cheng didn't say anything. Instead, he obediently made way, left the kitchen, and went to the yard to continue turning the soil, preparing to plant the vegetable seeds.
In the kitchen, Lin Qingqing first made loofah and egg soup. The loofah and egg soup is very simple. First, boil the water in the pot, then put the loofah in, wait until the loofah is cooked, then put the beaten egg liquid in, and after a minute, the soup is ready.
Next is the minced pork eggplant. I don't know how others make minced pork eggplant, but the main ingredient of Lin Qingqing's minced pork eggplant is bean paste. Fortunately, Lu Cheng bought the bean paste. Speaking of which, Lu Cheng bought quite a lot of cooking condiments.
The brands of bean paste are Shaofeng and Doubanjiang. Lin Qingqing used to buy Haitian bean paste because it was more common in supermarkets. She had never eaten Shaofeng and Doubanjiang, but she read the brand introduction on the bottle sticker and did not expect that this brand of bean paste was actually produced by a local state-owned factory in this era.
The method of making minced meat eggplant is very simple. First, cut the eggplant into thin strips and marinate it with a little salt for ten minutes. After ten minutes, heat the oil in a pan and fry the minced meat. Then add the fermented bean paste and fry until the fermented bean paste turns red. The aroma of the fermented bean paste in the hot oil makes Lin Qingqing's mouth water. She has loved fermented bean paste since she was a child and cannot resist the taste.
After the bean paste turns red, add the eggplant and stir-fry. Because it is a rice dish, you have to add some water to boil the soup. When the eggplant is cooked, keep it in the pot and serve it when you are ready to eat.
Outside, Lu Cheng had no intention of turning the soil. Not to mention that Lin Qingqing in the kitchen couldn't stand the aroma of the bean paste, even he could smell it outside. Smelling the aroma of the bean paste, Lu Cheng felt that it was good to have a wife at home, with the smell of fireworks. In the past, he took Lu Haici to eat in the cafeteria every day, not for the taste of the food, but simply to fill his stomach. But now, smelling the fragrance emanating from the kitchen, he felt that the purpose of his eating was not to fill his stomach, but to eat this kind of smell.
Fortunately, Lu Cheng didn't have to wait long before his little bastard came back.
"Dad, I'm back." After school, Lu Haici and Ji Yang ran home. Because the kindergarten is in the military family compound, the kids basically go home by themselves after school. It can be said that the kindergarten in the military family compound is the safest kindergarten in the country.
"Mom, I'm back." Ji Yang also shouted towards home.
I'm finally back. Lu Cheng thought as he said, "Go to the kitchen and ask your mom..." Before he could finish his words, his little bastard ran into the kitchen, "Mom, I'm back..." This voice was louder than before.
Lu Cheng continued to turn the soil expressionlessly. He was not as sweet as the little bunny, but he was better at work than the little bunny. Later, when Lin Qingqing came out, she would always see him working. So, Deputy Captain Lu worked even harder. There was no way, there was a little bunny to compare.
Lin Qingqing smiled and said, "I'm back. It's time to eat. Could you trouble little Lu Haici to help me bring the spoon to the table?"
"Sure." Lu Haici's voice was loud, but his tone was "heart-wrenching".
Lin gently put three spoons into the small bowl, then handed the bowl to him: "Thank you."
Lu Haici's face was red: "You're welcome." He held the small bowl, puffed out his chest, and walked out proudly. When he walked out of the kitchen door, he glanced at his father who was turning the soil, and thought, what a fool is dad, he is almost ready to eat, but he doesn't come to take the bowl and chopsticks.
Lin Qingqing followed Lu Haici out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of egg and loofah soup in her hands. She also saw Lu Cheng turning the soil outside, so she called out, "Lu Cheng, it's time to eat." She thought to herself that this man was really hardworking.
This sentence is what Lu Cheng wants most.
"I'm here." Lu Cheng had been waiting for her to call him. As soon as she called him, he immediately put down the hoe. "Is there anything you want me to do?" he asked proactively.
Lin Qingqing said, "Bring out three bowls of soup from the kitchen, one for each person. If it's not enough, there's more in the pot, and we can serve more when the time comes."
Lu Cheng: "Yeah." He held a bowl of soup in each hand, and carried it neatly. But the soup was already prepared before the minced meat and eggplant, so it was warm now, not hot.
Lu Cheng brought the soup down, and Lin Qingqing served it. She first put the rice on the plate, and then covered it with a layer of minced meat and eggplant. When the three plates were ready, Lu Cheng, who had been waiting at the door, said, "I'll serve it."
"Mom, let me help you." Lu Haici, who was behind Lu Cheng, also spoke up. Lu Haici also pushed his dad. His dad was so mean. He blocked the kitchen door and refused to go in, blocking him and making it so that his mom couldn't see him. When he grows up, he must be taller than his dad and then block his dad out. Humph!
Three plates of rice topped with gravy were served. Lin Qingqing first drank a mouthful of soup to warm her stomach, but the father and son on the side had already wolfed down the rice topped with minced meat and eggplant. The younger one in particular was still saying, "Delicious, Mom, this rice is so delicious."
"Yeah." Lu Cheng agreed.
It is a very happy thing to have others like what you make. Seeing them enjoying the food, Lin Qingqing was also happy: "If you like it, eat more. I will make pumpkin pie for you later."
"Ah..." Lu Haici suddenly remembered something. He jumped off the stool, opened the small schoolbag placed aside, and took out a lunch box from it. There were two small cakes in the lunch box. He picked up one of them and gave it to Lin Qingqing, "Mom, this is the small cake Qin Ming gave me. Eat it."
Lin Qingqing did not refuse the little one's offer to share. She took the small cake and put it aside: "Let's eat it after we finish our meal. Snacks should be eaten after the meal."
"Yeah." In this regard, Lu Haici was very obedient. He obediently took out another small cake, put it aside, and continued eating.
Lu Cheng: “…” Aren’t you going to give him the little cake
Lin Qingqing asked curiously: "Hai Ci, you exchanged tofu pancakes with Qin Ming for small cakes yesterday. Did you exchange two?"
"One." Lu Haici held up a finger with the hand that wasn't holding the spoon. "This morning, Qin Ming wanted to eat my cereal roll, so he traded it with me for a small cake."
I see.
Lu Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you going to give me that little cake?"
Hearing this, Lu Haici opened his eyes wide in disbelief. It was obvious that this was an incredible question. "Dad didn't like to eat before." He used to share delicious food with his father, but his father didn't want it.
Lu Cheng said seriously: "It's time to eat now." He really didn't like eating these things, but seeing that the little bastard excluded him, he wanted to tease him.
After hearing this, Lu Haici frowned, finally put down the spoon and picked up his own cake. Just when Lu Cheng and Lin Qingqing thought he was going to give the cake to Lu Cheng, Lu Haici broke the cake in half and gave the broken side to his father.
Lin Qingqing looked at Lu Cheng and smiled silently. This little cub is so funny. But even though they were separated, the little cub was still very filial and gave the big side to his father.
Lu Cheng took the small cake, put it aside, and continued eating.
Lu Haici stared at his father, then silently lowered his head and ate.
The highlight moment is after dinner because it is time for the little ones to wash the dishes.
Of course, Lu Haici had forgotten about this matter. After finishing his meal, he obediently carried his schoolbag and prepared to go to kindergarten. Lu Cheng stopped him and said, "You were supposed to wash the dishes at noon. Did you forget to do it again? You already forgot it this morning."
Lu Haici was stunned. He never thought his father was so cruel. Lu Haici gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't forgotten." His little dignity didn't allow him to admit that he had forgotten.
But Lu Cheng obviously didn't intend to let him go: "Then why are you carrying your schoolbag?"
"I..." Lu Haici's eyes turned red. He looked at his mother, afraid that his mother would think he was lazy and didn't like him anymore. Seeing his mother looking at him, he... He said, "I'll carry the study into the room and put it away." After that, he ran into the room. When he came out, his schoolbag was indeed gone.
Lin shook her head gently, not caring about the father and son. However, she also entered the room, and when she came out, she was holding the children's comic book "Seagull": "Haici, this is the book I bought for you, you can read it after you wash the dishes." If the kid promised to wash the dishes, he must wash them, even if they are not clean, but children must do what they promised, and good integrity should be cultivated from childhood.
"Books?" Lu Haici's eyes lit up, and the redness in his eyes caused by his father disappeared. He said loudly, "I promise to wash the dishes."
Of course, in the end, Lin Qingqing soaked the washed bowl by Lu Haici in hot water to clean the oil stains in the bowl.
After washing the dishes, Lu Haici put "The Seagull" into his schoolbag: "Mom, I'm going to kindergarten." He couldn't wait to go to the kindergarten to show off his new book.
"I'll take you there." Lin Qingqing followed him out.
Lu Haici trotted to Ji's house and shouted in the yard: "Ji Yang, go to kindergarten."
"Here I come." Ji Yang rushed out like a fool.
Lin Qingqing was a little frightened when she saw the little ones running around recklessly. She felt like they would fall down at any time.
Ji Yang saw Lin Qingqing and suddenly asked, "Aunt, can a monkey really be born from a stone?"
"Ah?" Before Lin Qingqing could react, Ji Yang asked again, "Aunt, can we go pick up some rocks that can give birth to monkeys? We want to raise monkeys, too."
Lin Qingqing quickly realized that Ji Yang was talking about Sun Wukong, and she said, "Stones can't give birth to monkeys."
When Ji Yang heard this, he pointed at Lu Haici and said, "Lu Haici, you are lying. Auntie said that stones can't give birth to children, but you said that Monkey King Sun was born from a stone."
"I'm not lying." Lu Haici retorted angrily, and then he looked at his mother aggrievedly, "Mom, wasn't Sun Wukong born from a stone?"
How should Lin Qingqing answer this? Sun Wukong did come out of a stone, but that was a fiction. But if she answered yes, the kids would have to pick up stones to give birth to monkeys. But if she answered no, then in the eyes of the kids, she would have deceived them. So for a moment, Lin Qingqing was very embarrassed. Originally, the bedtime story was to coax the kids, but now it caused trouble, which made her helpless.
"Mom?" Seeing his mother silent, Lu Haici blinked.
Suddenly, Lin Qingqing came up with an idea. The kids now couldn't understand why Sun Wukong came out of a stone, but when they grow up, they will definitely understand. So Lin Qingqing said, "Sun Wukong did come out of a stone, but a stone can't give birth to a monkey. As for why Sun Wukong came out of a stone, I can only tell you when you are ten years old. It's a secret."
Children all know secrets, and secrets cannot be told. However, Ji Yang stretched out his fingers and counted: "I am only five years old now, and I have to wait another five years to turn ten. It would be great if I could turn ten tomorrow."
Lin Qingqing was amused by his childish words: "Then you have to grow up quickly."
"Well, I will grow up quickly, and I need to eat more meals every day." Ji Yang seemed to be ready to beat his father in eating.
"Mom, I will grow up quickly and eat more every day." Seeing that his mother's attention was on Ji Yang, Lu Haici immediately said, and he also held his mother's hand, "Mom, you go back and rest. You must be tired today. Ji Yang and I will go to the kindergarten."
Lin Qingqing: "Okay then, please be careful on the road."
Lu Haici and Ji Yang: "I know."
The two little kids walked side by side to school, sitting very close to each other.
Lin Qingqing looked at their backs and did not go home immediately, but followed them quietly. She followed them all the way to the kindergarten, and only came back after she saw them go in.
When he got home, Lu Cheng had already plowed the land and was planting seeds.
Lin Qingqing joined in and asked curiously, "Didn't you grow up in your aunt's home in the county town? Can you farm?" She was surprised. Lin Qingqing knew how to farm because her grandmother knew how to farm. Many families in the countryside grew their own vegetables, and her family was no exception.
Lu Chengdao: "Before the founding of New China, my aunt and uncle lived in the countryside. That was before I was 14 years old, so I would go to the fields with my uncle's family."
Lin Qingqing said: "No wonder you can farm."
The two of them worked together and soon finished planting the land in the small yard. After planting the land, Lu Cheng said, "Come in for a moment, I'll give you the passbook."
"Hey." Lin Qingqing followed into the room.
Lu Cheng first took out the passbook with 1,500 yuan that Lin Qingqing had left in the morning and handed it to Lin Qingqing. Then he used the key to open the drawer of the desk and took out two more passbooks and a tin box. "Here."
"What is this?" Lin asked gently.
Lu Cheng said: "This one is the property left by my mother when she passed away, all of which are kept in the bank. This one is the salary I have saved over the years. This tin box contains some loose change and tickets, as well as some documents. You can take a look first, and you can ask me if you don't understand." Since they decided to get along well, Lu Cheng naturally would not hide anything.
When Lin Qingqing heard that this was the inheritance left by Lu Cheng's mother and the savings from his salary, she naturally didn't dare to touch it. However, she also found a good reason: "I'd better leave it with you. I'm afraid I will spend it recklessly. If the money is in my hands, I will spend it without restraint." Lin Qingqing pushed the things back and only took the passbook with 1,500 yuan.
Lu Cheng didn't take it: "You keep it there. No matter how you spend it, our family can afford it." His tone was not small. Lu Cheng was not a male chauvinist, but because of his mother's education since childhood, men should have responsibilities, so he was also persistent in some things. For example, he was persistent in the responsibility of men to support the family. In addition, he was in a high position, and sometimes he was instinctively strong. He handed the passbook and the iron box to Lin Qingqing, and strode away. He also thought that the little girl might be embarrassed to see him here.
Lin Qingqing, who didn't know what was going on in his mind, looked at the passbook and the tin box in her hand and could only accept it helplessly. Anyway, she wouldn't spend it, so she just kept it. She didn't look at the passbook, and put the two passbooks and the 1,500 yuan passbook back into the drawer. But she looked at the tin box because Lu Cheng said that there were scattered money and some tickets here, which might be used in daily life, so she took a look.
Then… This scattered money was more than he thought, but there were tickets, including shoe tickets, soap tickets, industrial tickets, sewing tickets, etc. In this era when tickets were needed to buy things, Lin Qingqing liked tickets very much. What she liked more was that there was also a bicycle ticket. Lin Qingqing thought that if she had a bicycle, it would be convenient for her to go shopping in the county town. So she put the things back in the drawer and locked it, and Lin Qingqing happily went to find Lu Cheng.
"Lu Cheng..."
Lu Cheng was working with cement and bricks in the yard. When he heard her voice, he turned around and asked silently.
"Lu Cheng, I saw a bicycle ticket in the tin box. Can I buy a bicycle?" Lin Qingqing asked. If she wanted to buy a bicycle, she might have to borrow money from Lu Cheng, but after receiving her salary, she would save the money, and when the time was right and they separated, she would pay him back the money she owed him.
"Do you have bicycle tickets? I forgot about them." Lu Cheng said. The big tickets were usually rewards for completing tasks. He didn't need them, so he didn't remember which tickets he had. Anyway, he had the tickets, so he stuffed them into the tin box. "Then I'll go to the department store tomorrow to look at bicycles."
Lin Qingqing: "I'll go too." Since she was going to buy her own bicycle, of course she had to go and see it.
Lu Cheng: "Okay." He thought for a moment, "Are there any other big tickets in there? Are there any watch tickets?"
Lin Qingqing: "There is no watch ticket, but there is a sewing ticket."
Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng said, "Buy another sewing machine? We didn't prepare any betrothal gifts when we got married, so I've been making up for it over and over again." He said this seriously.
Lin Qingqing thought about it and realized that having a sewing machine was indeed convenient. Although she didn't know how to use a sewing machine, she wanted to learn it. After all, the clothes of this era were not the styles she liked. If she wanted to make clothes of her own style in the future, she would need a sewing machine. She couldn't just borrow someone else's sewing machine, right
Besides, didn't she just buy some cloth to make pajamas and home clothes? So when Lu Cheng mentioned this, Lin Qingqing agreed: "Okay, let's go buy it tomorrow."
Lu Cheng nodded and went to wash his hands: "Let's go, it's almost time, let's go to the company cafeteria."
"good."
The company's canteen is located between the troops and the family compound. This area is full of canteens, lined up in rows. Lin Qingqing was here for the first time and was very curious: "So many canteens."
Lu Cheng introduced: "We have two divisions of troops here. One division has two brigades, one brigade has two regiments, each division has more than 5,000 people, and two divisions have more than 10,000 people. At the same time, each company has a canteen. A regiment has nine companies, a brigade has eighteen companies, and a division has thirty-six companies, so there are a total of seventy-two company canteens." After all, there are more than ten thousand troops here, so there are naturally quite a few company canteens.
Lin Qingqing listened to so many things in the company cafeteria, and her head was a little dizzy, but she suddenly thought of something: "I had a quarrel with the wife of Commander Qin before. Will it affect your work?"
"No." Lu Cheng said, "Commander Qin will not confuse public and private affairs. Besides, I am from the independent regiment and report directly to the army. I am not under the jurisdiction of the division or brigade."
Lin Qingqing didn't understand this, but after hearing what Lu Cheng said, she felt relieved. She couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I hope it won't affect you."
Lu Cheng pursed his lips and looked at her smile, he was in a good mood too.
