70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 201 Leaving Home to Join the Army

Xie Xiaonian stroked Xiaobai's back soothingly, and then pretended to be very casual and said: "Xiaobai will go to the mountains to hunt and eat when he has time, maybe he is full today, you don't need to worry about it, if it is hungry, it will eat by itself. Will eat."

After finishing speaking, Xie Xiaonian and Xiao Baicai were relieved to see that Xu Zhongjun didn't talk about this topic again.

While Xu Zhongjun was washing the dishes in the kitchen, Xie Xiaonian led Xiaobai back to the house and said, "Xiaobai, you have to be more careful in the future, you can't stop eating outside if you don't want to, at least you have to make a show, otherwise you will be punished." found."

"But the food outside is really not good. It's far from what my sister cooks in the space." Xiaobai said aggrievedly.

"When there are many people in the future, you will be wronged and eat something. How about I make you a delicious compensation when you have space?" Xie Xiaonian coaxed.

"Really? Well then, I'll be wronged." Xiao Bai said with his head down.

Although its tone seemed to be greatly wronged, it was very happy in its heart, and it would often ask its sister to cook delicious food for it in the future.

Although during the Chinese New Year, Xie Xiaonian had already told Father Xie and his uncle's family about the things and time when he would join the army, but now that Xu Zhongjun is back, it would be bad if he didn't go there.

So on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun went to uncle's house early in the morning, and didn't eat there. After talking for a while, they went to Xie's house again.

Although my uncle's family is very reluctant to part with Xie Xiaonian, it is a good thing to join the army, so that Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun don't have to live in two places, and it is also conducive to the growth of pancakes, so although everyone is reluctant, they are still very happy for Xie Xiaonian.

And because Xu Zhongjun was there, Xu's father didn't want to lose face in front of his son-in-law, so he didn't give Wu Lihua a chance to say something difficult, and after giving Xie Xiaonian a few words, he let them leave.

Walking on the road, Xie Xiaonian sighed and said: "Finally I can join the army, and I won't have to worry about Xie's troubles from now on."

"You want to join the army, isn't it because of me, because you want to hide from Xie's family?" Xu Zhongjun didn't want Xie Xiaonian to think about unhappy things, so he changed the subject and said deliberately.

"Of course not, I'm here to play in the city!" Knowing that Xu Zhongjun said that on purpose, Xie Xiaonian replied mischievously because he didn't cooperate with him.

In this way, the two of them were talking and laughing and riding their bicycles to go home, but at this time, the pancakes had already been left behind by the two of them.

After going home for lunch, Xie Xiaonian hurried to the kitchen to prepare food for the train.

Xie Xiaonian cooked the remaining 15 eggs and 8 duck eggs at home.

Then I steamed a pot of noodles and fried a lunch box of hot and sour cabbage. When I got on the train, I could soak them together and eat them.

Then Xie Xiaonian baked 10 scallion pancakes and steamed a few homemade sausages during the Chinese New Year as side dishes.

After that, Xie Xiaonian also used eggs, flour and peanuts to fry the crispy peanuts, which she learned from her grandma in her previous life.

Crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, this thing is both a side dish and a snack to pass the time on the train.

In the end, she pretended to be from the cabinet, but actually took out two packs of steamed cakes and mung bean cakes from the space, and used them as snacks for herself and Xiaobai.

Coupled with the few apples and frozen pears left at home during the Chinese New Year, Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun won't suffer too much when they take the train this time.

Although there were not many of these things, Xie Xiaonian had to prepare all afternoon, but because the luggage had already been packed, the time would not be too tight.

Xie Xiaonian prepared calmly, but Xu Zhongjun was a little anxious when he looked at the things at home.

Because the two just got married, there are really a lot of things in the house. The two of them can’t carry them all, and it’s not safe to leave them at home, so Xu Zhongjun asked worriedly: “There are so many things in the house. Safe!"

"It's okay, I thought of this before. I originally thought about giving the quilts, sewing machines and other valuable things to my sister-in-law's house, but my sister-in-law's house is also very crowded and there is no place to put them, so my mother said that after we leave , she and her father cleaned up the west room and came over to watch the door for us, so as to save the house from being left unoccupied for a long time, and things will be broken." Xie Xiaonian explained.

Hearing this, Xu Zhongjun felt relieved, and went back to the house with the pancakes in his arms.

Because although Xu's father and Xu's mother live in Xie Xiaonian's side, they still have to eat with the big room, so Xie Xiaonian prepared a big bag in advance, including meat, cloth, mushrooms, fungus, etc., and put them in the west room. On the kang, it's a treat.

But when Xie Xiaonian was about to leave, she would tell Mother Xu and them, and they refused.

And because Xu's father and Xu's mother helped to look after the house, Xie Xiaonian only packed up the things that might be needed after arriving in the army, and put the things that were not needed or couldn't be carried directly at home, and would pick them up when he came back later.

Xie Xiaonian put the bicycle directly at the sister-in-law's house today, and let the big family ride it.

And because the sister-in-law's family had a sewing machine, Xie Xiaonian put away her sewing machine, and prepared to take it to the army when she came back next time.

At this time, I have to make clothes by myself, but I can't do without a sewing machine.

But even if he only took the most important things, Xie Xiaonian packed two sacks and two parcels.

Although food will be distributed in the army, Xie Xiaonian decided to bring some from home. She doesn't know the specific situation of the army, so it's better to be prepared. If you have food in hand, don't panic.

And when the time comes, she will have an excuse to add food from the space.

As for the rest of the food, Xie Xiaonian was going to leave it to Da Fang.

When it got darker and Xie Xiaonian was about to make dinner, she saw her sister-in-law coming to the house, said to Xie Xiaonian with a smile: "Xiao Nian, don't cook tonight, come to my house to eat."

"No need, sister-in-law, I'll finish it in a while." Xie Xiaonian refused.

"What's the point, I'm eating at my house today, you and Zhongjun are leaving tomorrow, why don't you have to get together, not to mention it's the Lantern Festival today, quickly call Zhongjun to my house." The sister-in-law couldn't refuse Said.

"That's fine, but sister-in-law, why didn't you call me earlier, I can still cook for you."

"I thought you had to pack your things and make meals on the road, so I didn't call you, not to mention there are orchids here, hurry up and come here, I'll be waiting for you." The sister-in-law urged.

"Okay, sister-in-law, you go back first, we'll go right away."

After the sister-in-law left, Xie Xiaonian walked into the room, and saw that Pancake and Xu Zhongjun looked like they had just woken up.

Seeing Xie Xiaonian walk in, Xu Zhongjun asked, "Sister-in-law is here?"

"Well, let's go over to eat. You go and wash your face. I'll clean up the pancakes. Let's go over here. The sister-in-law has already finished the meal. You can take the remaining half of the chicken and duck later." Today, let's go to sister-in-law's house for dinner, and we won't be able to eat these things." Xie Xiaonian replied while dressing the pancakes.

When the two arrived, they saw that the sister-in-law had already served the food on the table, and they were waiting for their family of three to come over.

Seeing Xie Xiaonian coming over with the pancakes in her arms, Xu's mother hurriedly said, "Hurry up and give me the pancakes, I don't know when I'll be able to see my eldest grandson after you leave."

"Mother, it's not that Xiao Nian and the others are not coming back. When you come back, you will be able to see pancakes. Maybe next time you come back, pancakes will call you grandma. And pancakes are here to enjoy themselves. You, you should You should be happy." Seeing that her mother-in-law was feeling sad, Li Suxin said quickly.

"Yes, mother, maybe we will be back soon." Xie Xiaonian also said hastily.

"Well, okay, this is a good thing. I should be happy that Jianbing will be able to see his father every day." Mother Xu said with a smile.

But Mother Xu still stepped forward to take the pancake from Xie Xiaonian, holding it in her arms without letting go.

Because the sister-in-law has already cooked the meal, she asked the sister-in-law to put away the things they took.

It might be the reason why they were about to leave. While waiting to eat, Xu's mother looked at the rice cereal in Xu Zhongjun's hand, and while teasing the pancakes, she said, "Give me the bowl, and I will feed the pancakes. Maybe I will come back next time." Let’s not let people feed our pancakes, right, grandma’s great grandson!”

Seeing what Xu's mother said, Xu Zhongjun handed over the bowl. He understood Xu's mother's feelings very well at this time, because every time he left home, he was also so helpless and reluctant.

"Tomorrow morning you will go to the army with me, it's great, I've been waiting for a moment, I don't know how many years I've been waiting!" After washing in the evening, Xu Zhongjun hugged Xie Xiaonian on the kang, sighing.

"How long have we only been married? You have been waiting for many years. Say, who were you waiting for?" Xie Xiaonian asked Xu Zhongjun's waist pretending to be angry.

"Of course I was waiting for you. Although we haven't met before, I've been waiting for you in the dark!" Xu Zhongjun said with a playful smile.

"Hmph! I'm sorry that you don't dare to wait for others. Let me tell you, if you dare to provoke someone like Xie Xiaomei again and make things difficult for me, I won't let you go!"

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I promise that such a thing will not happen again." Xu Zhongjun reassured with a frown remembering the situation described by Xu's mother.

"Then tell me about the situation in the army compound, so I'm mentally prepared!" Xie Xiaonian is very unfamiliar with the army now, and she is going to enter a new environment. She is still a little worried for no reason, afraid that she will get along with other people Not good, it will bring trouble to Xu Zhongjun.

"Well, in fact, there are not too many people in the army that you usually have contact with. You just need to get acquainted with a few military wives in the regiment." Then Xu Zhongjun gave the general situation of the army, the comrades in the regiment that Xie Xiaonian might have contacted, And their family members told Xie Xiaonian again.

When Xu Zhongjun was about to tell Xiao Nian about other things, he found that Xie Xiao Nian had fallen asleep at some point.

Remembering that Xie Xiaonian was tossed by me for so long last night, following him to meet relatives in the morning, and preparing to eat in the afternoon, he must be tired, so Xu Zhongjun stopped talking, and adjusted his posture slightly to make Xiao Nian sleep more comfortably .

The next day, Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun got up before dawn, Xie Xiaonian made breakfast, and Xu Zhongjun went to the brigade to borrow an ox cart.

Because Xu's father had made an agreement with the brigade two days in advance, Xu Zhongjun went directly to the brigade's livestock place and drove the ox cart back.

When they had finished their breakfast, the sky was just beginning to light up. Before Xie Xiaonian finished washing the dishes, Xu's father, Xu's mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, and Lan Hua all came over.

The sister-in-law saw that Xie Xiaonian was still washing the dishes, so she quickly pulled Xie Xiaonian away and said, "Just put these here, I will wash them for you later, and I will put them away for you when they are dry, so as not to delay your next return." Time to use, you go to the house to see if there is anything else to clean up."

Seeing this, Xie Xiaonian stopped washing the dishes, and went back to the room to check again to avoid any omissions.

After packing up the things, Xu Zhongjun and Xu Zhongming moved the things to the ox cart. Because there were a lot of things, most of the ox cart was loaded at once.

Because Xu's mother also knew that they were going to catch the train, so although she was very reluctant, she still forced herself to laugh and said, "Get on the train, let your elder brother take you there, Zhongjun, you must pay attention to safety on the road, take care of Xiao Nian and Xiao Nian." Pancakes, remember to write home when you get there!"

"I know, mother."

"Mom, you and dad should also pay attention to your health at home, I will come back to see you when I have time." Xie Xiaonian originally wanted to go up and hug Xu's mother, but Xu's mother is still holding pancakes in her arms, so Xie Xiaonian had no choice but to give up. .

Since Xie Xiaonian married into Xu's family, Xu's mother has treated her like her own daughter, and has never put on airs of a mother-in-law, so Xie Xiaonian is really reluctant to bear with Xu's mother.

"Well, come back and visit often when you have time, and write letters often. You don't have to worry at home. I have your elder brother and sister-in-law here. As long as you are doing well outside, I will be relieved." Xu's mother's eyes were red Said.

Now, Sanfang has completely left home. The mountains are high and the road is far away. I don't know how many times they will meet in the future, Xu Mu thought sadly.
