At around nine o'clock in the evening, the man who had been missing for two days and two nights returned home.
The strong fishy smell of the sea hit your nostrils.
Jian Yuelan, "You must have drowned in the sea."
Ye Linxing laughed, "Come with me to take a shower?"
"Go by yourself, I'll finish embroidering this point." She raised the fabric in her hand and refused decisively.
The man who finally moved his eyes away from her face looked at the fabric in her hand.
"What is this?"
"Bitter tea seeds."
Jian Yuelan took the finished product and handed it over, "Wash it and try it."
"Daughter-in-law, you are so kind."
Ye Linxing smiled happily and took the clothes to take a shower. When he was about to put them on after washing, he fell silent.
Kuchazi embroidered peach blossoms, but his wife thought of it.
He put it on and went back to the house.
The sound of steady and powerful footsteps came, Jian Yuelan didn't even raise her head, "Is it tight?"
"just."
The man stared at the thread flying in her hand, his eyes deep and calm, "Daughter-in-law, look at me."
Jian Yuelan looked up. The man wearing only a pair of Kuchazi immediately straightened his back like a peacock, gritting his teeth, "Isn't the peach blossom very delicate?"
"...She's quite charming."
Seeing his dark face, Jian Yuelan smiled brightly, "You don't like peach blossoms?"
Ye Linxing hesitated for a moment, "I like it."
Forget it, as long as his wife is happy, he should give up and not struggle.
You two looked at me, I looked at you, and laughed at the same time.
"It's time to sleep."
Taking the fabric and needlework from her hand and putting them into the basket, Ye Linxing hugged her into his arms, "Have you been bored at home these past two days?"
A calloused, dry palm covered her hand, stroking her slender, soft fingers.
"not boring."
It's quite filling, I'm full from all the melons.
She said softly, "Has Yu Tuan been with you these two days?"
"no."
He shook his head and didn't say a word more.
"Why do you think of asking him?"
"Zhou Qingqing has taken a liking to him."
These words were like a thunderbolt hitting his head. Ye Linxing was stunned on the spot.
"Zhou, does that crazy woman Zhou Qingqing have a crush on Lao Yu?"
What evil had Lao Yu done to deserve being targeted by such a crazy woman? Should he run away with Lao Yu on his back?
"right."
Ye Linxing, "······"
"Wait a minute, I need to slow down."
The pause lasted for several minutes, and he said, "Are you sure the news is true?"
Jian Yuelan chuckled, "It couldn't be more true! Zheng Wan's family and Zhang Yingchang's family are neighbors. She heard it with her own ears."
Ye Linxing was silent for a long time and then said quietly, "Daughter-in-law, let's go to bed."
"Hmm...wait a minute, don't you care whether they succeed or not?"
Jian Yuelan hurriedly stopped him from pressing down. Ye Linxing chuckled, "I don't care, I only care about you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man attacked the city like a tiger out of its cage.
That night, Jian Yuelan became a rootless duckweed, drifting with the current.
Early the next morning, she felt sore all over and got up to wash up, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative with the money in her pocket.
The supply and marketing cooperative in the morning was very lively, beyond Jian Yuelan's imagination, and shopping was basically done by grabbing.
The supply and marketing cooperative has a large area and is divided into stall areas.
Cereals, oils, rice noodles, sauces, vinegar and tea are one area, pots, pans, pans, etc. are another area, and then there are candies, melon seeds and the like.
The last area sells fabrics, needlework, etc.
There are also thermos bottles with iron and bamboo covers.
Jian Yuelan is a person with clear goals. The family is short of everything except rice, noodles and oil, so she goes straight to the grain and oil area.
"Comrade, I want twenty kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of noodles, one kilogram of salt, one kilogram of sesame oil and two ounces of vinegar."
As soon as these words came out, the entire supply and marketing cooperative fell silent.
Everyone looked at her, and some people murmured, "Whose daughter-in-law is this? She is such a waste of money."
Jian Yuelan heard it, but she was too lazy to respond. Instead, she looked at the stunned salesperson, "Comrade, are you there?"
"have."
The salesperson nodded, but with a somewhat ugly look on his face, he advised, "Comrade, it's true that soldiers have fine grain quotas, but your buying method is a bit inappropriate."
"What's inappropriate?"
"I can't eat it for a month."
There is nothing wrong with this, and the salesperson is also kind-hearted. Jian Yuelan smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder, but I bought two months' supply."
The saleswoman suddenly realized that this was the case, and she apologized, "I'm sorry, I was just worrying."
With that said, she quickly packed the things Jian Yuelan wanted.
Then there is invoicing and payment.
Ten minutes later, Jian Yuelan went out carrying more than thirty kilograms of things and went straight to the food station.
Pork was available at the vegetable station today, and the villagers and military wives who knew the news were all out in force. The people at the vegetable station were even more exaggerated than the supply and marketing cooperatives.
When it was Jian Yuelan's turn, there was only one pig's trotter, a few ribs and about eight taels of pork liver left on the table.
There is not even a tiny bit of meat left.
Jian Yuelan asked about the price and paid the price directly.
Then I went to buy eggs, sea duck eggs and some kelp before leaving with satisfaction.
Not long after arriving home, there was a knock on the door.
"Sister-in-law, are you at home?"
"exist."
The voice was quite unfamiliar. Jian Yuelan came out to open the door in confusion. Seeing an unknown little soldier, she said enthusiastically, "Little comrade, what do you want to see me for?"
"Sister-in-law, you have to go to the regiment headquarters with me."
The little warrior grinned, revealing his white teeth, which formed a strong contrast with his dark complexion.
She shook her head and asked, "Why are you going to the regiment headquarters?"
"I'm looking for you from a fellow countryman."
Jian Yuelan, "!!!Okay."
She probably knew what was going on.
Half an hour later, Jian Yuelan, guided by soldiers, arrived at her destination and knocked on the door to enter.
In an instant, soldiers in military uniforms and fellow villagers in ordinary clothes turned their heads and looked over.
Ye Linxing was there, Huang Yang was there, and Amu, the father of the child who was rescued that day, was also there.
Sitting between Amu and Huang Yang was a thin and small old man. His eyes were not cloudy but sharp and lively.
Seeing Jian Yuelan, he looked at Amu, who nodded.
A gentle smile suddenly appeared on the old man's face. He stood up and stretched out his hand towards her. He opened his mouth and uttered a series of gibberish words.
Jian Yuelan held the old man's hand and smiled awkwardly, "fellow, I don't understand what you said."
"Clan Chief Fu came here specifically to thank you for saving his clan's little baby."
Ye Linxing, a majestic man in military uniform, immediately introduced the translator, "This is Master Tan."
"Hello, sir."
Jian Yuelan said hello to the teacher. The teacher waved his hand to indicate that she was welcome, and turned to talk to Chief Fu in dialect.
Jian Yuelan didn't know exactly what was discussed, but he didn't understand it anyway.
After they finished speaking, Chief Fu said something to Amu.
Amu nodded, picked up the bamboo cage on the ground, came to Jian Yuelan, followed her and handed it to her, "Excuse me, take it... take it."
"Giggle--"
When the chicken crows, Jian Yuelan realizes that there is a chicken in the cage.
She waved her hand to refuse, but Amu and the others did not accept it.
In the end, she returned home carrying a cage with two chickens.
Ye Linxing came back in the evening. As soon as he walked in, he hugged her and nibbled her a few times, "Daughter-in-law, you are so wonderful."
Jian Yuelan was a little confused, "Why am I awesome?"
"Your act of rescuing people has broken the barrier between us and our fellow villagers, and has greatly helped us carry out our work."
