Rebirth Seven Zeros

Chapter 107
Fortunately, it was not a weekend, and there were not many people in the hospital. Li Xiaohui went to the registration line, while Lin Minrou sat on a chair in the corridor and waited quietly.

Many of the pregnant women who went to the obstetrics and gynecology department were accompanied by their own men. Seeing the happy smiling faces, Lin Minrou was both envious and emotional.

It's not easy being a military wife. Men can't be around all the time, but she is content.

Like some military wives, they cannot come to join the army due to conditional restrictions, and they can only see each other once or twice a year, which is even more difficult like Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

Lin Minrou was in deep thought, Li Xiaohui called her, and the line was up.

After the examination, seeing the smile on Lin Minrou's face, she knew that the child was healthy, so Li Xiaohui didn't ask any further questions.

Lin Minrou couldn't hold back anymore, this little sparrow was so unaccustomed to not chattering: "Why didn't you ask me how the inspection was going?"

"Your smile says it all, so I won't ask any more questions. Seeing that the battalion commander has raised you so well, I feel relieved." Li Xiaohui said seriously.

"You are really shrewd, that's okay, if Zhijian doesn't have time to accompany me during my pregnancy test in the future, you will accompany me."

"Yo, you're taking it for granted, do I have to thank you?" Li Xiaohui couldn't help joking.

"Of course you have to thank me. Thank you for taking you to learn about pregnancy in advance. When you get pregnant, you won't be in a hurry."

"I hate it, let's talk about this again, I don't want to have a baby yet." The two went out with a smile. On the way, they bought food for pregnant women and added a basket of vegetables for the family.

It's cold in winter, food is naturally kept fresh, it's like putting it in the refrigerator, it's inconvenient to go out now, every time Lin Minrou buys it by herself or has someone bring it, she always buys it in a basket.

Time is moving forward quickly, and the Chinese New Year is only a few days away. Listening to the good news from the franchise stores, Spring Festival couplets and plastic decorations are selling very well. The winter holidays that were originally off-season, all stores are also booming.

The factory in Shenzhen is on holiday for the Chinese New Year. Sister Hui counted the profit for this year, and it was really booming.

When Lin Minrou looked at the five-digit number on the passbook, she couldn't help grinning. She was the first million-dollar household in the village.

It's Chinese New Year, no matter how poor every household is, they all go to the town to buy new year's goods. Lin Minrou mailed 100 yuan to each of her in-laws and mother-in-law's to buy new year's goods.

Miao Fengju, who was open to money, received this "huge sum of money", but smiled from ear to ear, showing off her good fortune to everyone.

Compared with her high-profile, Li Feng of her natal family is much more low-key. It is enough to buy 50 New Year's goods, and save the rest. The daughter has made a lot of money. She is filial, and the old man is warm-hearted.

Ning Zhijian worked hard for a year, and finally had a few days of leisure, so he accompanied Lin Minrou to buy new year's goods.

Usually this bustling city is quite deserted, but the barracks area is still well-trained as usual. Most people don't go home for the New Year. Only a few special circumstances, or those who are close to home, go back for the New Year.

This year the eldest brother also got married, the family is complete, and the leader has approved it, but he still chose not to go home because he was afraid that the children would be tired from the fatigue of the journey.

Even if it's the Chinese New Year here, Lin Minrou doesn't want to settle for it, she still has to buy what should be bought.

Today happened to be the weekend, so it was rare for Ning Zhijian to be free to accompany her to buy new year's goods, shopping along the way.

I bought five catties of lean meat, five catties of pork bones, fish, vegetables, canned food, condiments, bacon, tofu, and in short, two big baskets of vegetables.

"Daughter-in-law, people who don't know you think you run a canteen? You bought so many." Ning Zhijian's military uniform was very dazzling in the crowd. People can't ignore it.

At this moment, he was holding his daughter-in-law's hand, and seeing what she asked for by name, he quickly put it in the basket and paid for it.

"Why, it hurts to spend your money?" Lin Minrou scanned the basket full of New Year's goods. The basket was carried to the car by the soldiers just now, and this basket was almost full.

Do the math, she spent almost a hundred today, this is half a year's income of a farmer, isn't she a prodigal?

"Look at what you said, how can I? See if there is anything else to buy, I still have money in my pocket." Ning Zhijian reached out and scratched her nose.

His salary is not enough to support his family. If it weren't for the help of his wife, how could the family be so prosperous.

A man should support his family. He is really guilty. He can't make money as fast as her, so he can only treat her better.

"Almost, Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, both of you, please carry this basket into the car as well. In the evening, my sister-in-law will be cooking hot pot, so come and eat." Lin Minrou warmly greeted.

These two little soldiers belonged to Ning Zhijian's subordinates, and they helped a lot this time. This New Year's Eve is a time when there are so many people. She plans to invite the soldiers to spend the New Year together.

"Thank you sister-in-law, I'm a little embarrassed." The two soldiers pursed their lips and rubbed their hands together.

They have experienced Lin Minrou's culinary skills before, and that skill is comparable to that of a chef.

Ning Zhijian looked at the greedy faces of the two soldiers with a smile on his face, and said, "What are you thinking? Your sister-in-law is pregnant, so I'll cook."

"Ah..." Xiaobing wailed for a while, and the joyful expression on his face was fleeting. Can the battalion commander cook it to eat?

"What do you mean? En?" Ning Zhijian raised his eyebrows, and the two soldiers immediately shook their heads and said, "Thank you battalion commander."

When the group returned, Lin Minrou asked the two soldiers to watch TV in the living room, and asked Ning Zhijian to call Li Xiaohui and Chen Yucui to eat hot pot.

I am busy in the kitchen, and the main thing to cook hot pot is to adjust the base ingredients.

After washing the mandarin duck pot bought last time, boil a pot of thick bone soup, then add ginger, star anise, fennel, garlic, and chili.

Seeing that Lin Minrou was in charge of cooking the soup, the eyes of the two soldiers lit up. This time they were lucky. They tasted sister-in-law's cooking skills once, and they never forgot them.

After a while, Ning Zhijian, Li Xiaohui, Chen Yucui and his wife came over, and the living room became much more lively due to the large number of people.

Ning Zhijian saw that Lin Minrou had prepared the hot pot base, and was busy washing and chopping vegetables in an orderly manner.

The steaming pot of mandarin duck pot is placed on the stove, and the table is full of green vegetables, meatballs, ham, tofu, enoki mushrooms, vermicelli, lotus root, and potato slices. There are more than a dozen kinds of vegetables, all washed and cut, which will be served on a plate Put it on the table.

Watching the cauldron split into two, the red soup on one side is boiling, and the clear soup on the other side is bland and fragrant, which makes people move their index fingers.

"It's very appetizing just looking at it. My brother and sister's skills are amazing." The man from Chen Yucui's family boasted that he was someone who had a meal once, and his taste buds were completely conquered.

"That's it." The man from Li Xiaohui's family swallowed.

If his own daughter-in-law can have such a good craftsmanship, he will be blessed.

The two soldiers couldn't help but wanted to move their chopsticks, but the battalion commander didn't say anything, and everyone was reluctant to move their chopsticks.

Ning Zhijian took out the prepared chili pepper, onion and garlic from the kitchen and stirred them together. Everyone looked at him expectantly, and couldn't help feeling amused: "See what I do, let's start eating."

Ah, this order sounded like a horn, and everyone scooped up their spoons and ate hotly.

Eating steaming hot pot in the house in the cold winter is so sour and refreshing, and sweats out from eating.

"It's so delicious, it's been a long time since I've had such a good time, Zhijian, let's have a toast."

Several men shook their arms and started eating, and punched and drank in the middle, the atmosphere was high and lively.

These days, the barracks are also very busy, the soldiers can't go home, the [-]th party must be indispensable.

When they went back, Lin Minrou could still see that the stage had been set up, the venue was decorated very festively, and the atmosphere of the new year was getting stronger and stronger.

On New Year's Eve, the family building is filled with the smell of food, and the whole corridor is full of delicious food.

In the kitchen, Lin Minrou showed off her skills, while Ning Zhijian was in charge of washing and chopping vegetables.

The pork rib soup was in the stove beside it, exuding gurgling bubbles and aroma, Ning Zhijian cleaned up the fish in his hand and put it on the cutting board.

"Steamed or braised?" Lin Minrou asked him.

"you decide."

"Braised in soy sauce is more fragrant, let's cook it in soy sauce." Lin Minrou said, and saw Ning Zhijian cut up some ginger and garlic for later use.

The entire family building was busy, and the sound of chopping meat on the chopping board and the sound of oil in the pan could be heard.

There are children in the corridor eating snacks, running happily, and there is joy everywhere.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, all the meals at Lin Minrou's house were served. Considering that the two of them didn't eat much, they cooked six dishes, implying the success of six or six.

After dinner, Ning Zhijian took Lin Minrou to watch the performance at the party. She was wearing an off-white cotton padded jacket. She asked a tailor to cut her waist, so she didn't look bloated. I can't fit my clothes anymore.

As soon as the two entered the arena, they moved slowly like a huge luminous body. Ning Zhijian helped her to shuttle between the seats, and after finding a place, the two sat down.

The soldiers at the front, back, left and right were busy saying hello: "Hello battalion commander, hello sister-in-law."

Looking at these dark and simple faces, Lin Minrou waved her hands vigorously following her emotions: "Hello."

They sat in the second row, and the first row was full of leaders. When everyone arrived, the scene was crowded with people, but the clothes were neat. Except for the colorful colors of their families, the soldiers were all uniform olive green.

The music started, and this time the main performers were the art soldiers of the art troupe, most of whom were female soldiers.

After listening to the majestic opening speech of the chief, the wonderful program slowly kicked off.

The whole party was wonderful, with singing, poetry reading and dancing.

Loud and clear singing, praising the motherland, and the applause was warm at the end of the song.

Sitting together with Li Xiaohui, Lin Minruan watched her palms turn red, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at how excited you are, how enjoyable it is to watch?
Li Xiaohui looked eager to try: "Oh, if you weren't pregnant, we could go up and perform together."

"You can do it alone." Lin Minrou smiled.

"It's boring to be alone, I like to partner with you." Li Xiaohui smiled.
