Concubine [Slow Wear]

After Lin Xianxian successfully completed the task, the second battalion commander originally planned to give her some military tickets or something to thank her, but these were all rejected by Lin Xianxian with the powerful reason of 'serving the People's Liberation Army', which was full of military and civilian sympathy.

The main tone at this time is to be proud of such selfless dedication, so the second battalion commander did not make any more demands on this, but just asked Lin Xianxian and others when they were leaving, and planned to apply for her a commendation for her military and civilian before they left. Harmony's certificate of honor came down. Today, the head of the group is also learning songs in the auditorium. It shouldn't be difficult to think about it.

In addition, the second battalion commander learned in the process of talking that when Lin Xianxian and the others were going to take some pickles to eat on the road, he also asked the logistics of the second battalion to open a door for them, and the ingredients could be purchased according to the price. , buy it in the logistics, after all, it is not so easy to buy something now.

As for the kitchen, since Xiao Xu has already made arrangements, he will not have much to do. After all, many family members of the army have such conveniences when it comes to purchasing ingredients. Opening a back door to Xiao Xu’s sister is not a violation of the rules. In the kitchen, this is a bit suspicious of melon Tian Li.

When this matter is completely finished, it will be almost sunset time. At this time, every household basically needs to use the stove, so Lin Xianxian's little pickles can only be cooked until tomorrow.

It just so happens that the logistics of the army can buy them some octopus, squid, etc. according to local conditions. Yes, Lin Xianxian plans to make some, easy-to-preserve octopus sauce and squid sauce. It just so happens that the seafood here is relatively fresh, generally fresh. Seafood will have a very delicious fresh and sweet taste. After making it into a Korean-style sweet and spicy flavor, it will be more delicious.

Of course, due to the lack of sterilization methods, Lin Xianxian does not intend to make raw food. Although she actually prefers the taste of raw food, it is for the sake of herself and the people who eat it, and considering that her aunt's teeth are not very good , she can only regret to give up this taste.

There are actually two ways to do this kind of Korean seafood mix. One is to add the sauce and mix it after the water is flying. After the food was better preserved, Lin Xianxian chose the second cooking method.

Of course, she understands what she said better than anyone else, but it is the auntie who is in charge and the fat aunt who gave her the dough that day. Yes, the stove that Xu Menghe borrowed is at the fat aunt's house. .

After the finished product came out, I looked at the white tender chapter (squid) fish pieces wrapped in the sauce of Hongdandan, and then smelled the very appetizing sweet and spicy taste. Aunt Bai Pang personally commented: "It's a good appetizer. !"

Auntie made a lot of things, and the part they were going to take away was sealed in a canning bottle. The canning bottle was exchanged with the army logistics. The army canteen often supplies canned food to the soldiers, so this There are many things they are.

Because of this, the amount made by the auntie, in addition to what they had to bring, what they kept for Xu Menghe, and what they were going to share with Fatty Bai's house as a thank you, the rest probably had a portion in the army cafeteria. The amount of vegetables will be used to add vegetables to the soldiers later.

So at noon, the soldiers who went to the cafeteria earlier ate this dish. The taste is delicious, but it is mainly novel. After all, the cooks in the army are not vegetarian, but this dish is real Appetizing, it’s also a real meal! Eating it with rice is also a different taste!

At Aunt Bai's house, Xu Menghe, who had eaten a big bowl of rice with thick sauce, had to admit that the dish that his sister said was really delicious, especially this flavor. It's also quite special. In his impression, he seems to have tasted it before, but it's only a few times, and he can't remember the reason. He tasted this taste suddenly, and he was quite surprised.

Xiao Xiancai is ready, it can be seen that Lin Xianxian and his party are not far away. In fact, they have already bought the tickets for the second brother Xu tomorrow morning. It went very smoothly, so when Lin Xianxian and his party left, they were taken to the train station by the army with a certificate of merit from the military and civilian family.

When they said goodbye in front of the waiting room, both sides had mixed feelings, especially Xu Menghe. When he first received the telegram, when he learned that his sister's petition was coming to see him, he was still thinking about what to do. See, isn't his life like this, but when it came time to say goodbye to his sister, he felt a lot of reluctance and loss in his heart.

Lin Xianxian is also, this feeling of leaving this brother alone is really uncomfortable, "Brother, I will miss you, I will write to you." Lin Xianxian stood in front of Xu Menghe, He looked up at him very seriously and said, in the dark eyes, as if saying to him, 'Don't be sad, I haven't forgotten you. ’

Xu Menghe warmed her heart, smiled and raised her hand to help her straighten the hat on her head, and said, "Okay, it's time to check the ticket, let's go in."

Watching his sister reluctantly enter the waiting room, Xu Meng and missing his family are not uneasy, but this is the path he chose. He chose to leave his father's wings and go to this strange city and a strange place alone. In the army, he wanted to rely on his own strength to go up, so he chose to bear the difficulties and loneliness that he would inevitably experience after embarking on this road.

He just didn't expect that in this ordinary early autumn, there will be a warm feeling from his young sister and family who come to him. Xu Menghe suddenly feels that it is really beautiful to have family members, affection and care.

The train traveled for almost eight hours and finally arrived at a small town on the black soil. According to Xu Erge's previous description, it would take two hours to travel from this town to the place where he went to the countryside. Donkey cart, when the four arrived in the town, it was almost evening, so the donkey cart could not be done. They could only deal with it at the guest house in the town for one night, and then find someone to take them to the countryside tomorrow.

Fortunately, after the guidance of the warm receptionist's receptionist, they learned that at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, there will be a bus going to and from the nearby townships leaving the town, and the location is diagonally opposite to the guesthouse. not far.

There is no need to think more about how to go to the countryside and the safety of going to the countryside, which is undoubtedly good news for them.

In the early morning of the next day, including Lin Xianxian, the group deliberately got up early, so as not to be in a hurry to catch the bus, they originally planned to keep the guest house room. There was no place to live, but the eldest sister of the hostel said that few people came to this place every year.

So the four of them also returned the room first. Since the second brother Xu is not very convenient to communicate here, and they are not too fixed on the specific schedule after visiting the elder brother Xu, the second brother Xu here did not receive their request. news to come.

Because of this, Xu Mengping, who was working in the field, was completely stunned when he heard his name being called from the loudspeaker on the side of the road, saying that his family had come to see him.

Of course, in addition to being stunned and unbelievable, there is also an unspeakable excitement. It is almost impossible for the educated youth to visit the countryside, unless the home is really close to the place where he cut the queue, like he In this way, educated youths whose homes are far away will not have such unrealistic thoughts, no matter how homesick they are or how they miss their relatives. But for Xu Mengping, everything said on the broadcast today seems to be still in a dream.

The team leader who supervised their work asked him to follow the broadcast and go to the brigade headquarters, and give him half a day's work points today.

The educated youths who were working in the nearby fields undoubtedly did not cast envious glances in his direction. After Xu Mengping came back to his senses, he didn't remember what the team leader said. In the uneven ridge, his body was unstable but his footsteps were flying towards the road. When he reached the flat ground, he ran directly.

His mind was in a mess. For a while, he wondered if he should go back to the educated youth to change into clean clothes, and then he wondered who from the family came to see him? Dad's work should be inseparable, and it's probably Mom who came.

On the way to the brigade, Xu Mengping's mood gradually changed from being overwhelmed and messy to looking forward to his family.

But when he rushed into the brigade with panting breath, the two parents he thought of didn't look at the figures, but saw his aunt and sister, and two people he didn't know, and he didn't know if he was with them. of.

So, Xu Mengping's first sentence was, "Auntie, where are my mother and my father?"

Lin Xianxian, who was excluded from the questioning: -_-#, she shouldn't have unrealistic expectations for this second brother, they are all equally annoying! snort!

"Your parents didn't come, this time it's Xiao Yuanyuan who is clamoring to see you." My aunt answered him and looked at Xu Mengping, "Oh, look at you, why are you sweating so much? !"

As soon as Xu Mengping heard this, his brain also reacted, and only then did he understand the meaning of the words, is his sister coming to see him? Oh, I really didn't hurt this little girl in vain, but looking at the little girl's mouth pouting, I guess she was angry that he just came in and didn't say hello to her.

However, it was really not suitable for coaxing her on this occasion. Xu Mengping said hello to the brigade leader. After he brought the four people out of the brigade headquarters, he approached Lin Xianxian and reached out and tapped her gently. Skull, "Why are you pouting? Who made you angry? Second brother help you clean him up!"

"The thief shouts to catch the thief!" Lin Xianxian muttered in a low voice, feeling a little annoyed, but Xu Erge's familiar words also awakened Xu Mengyuan's warm memories about this second elder brother.

In Xu Mengyuan's memory, this second brother has really protected her since he was a child. If there is something delicious, he will think of giving it to her first. He will abandon the small group and stay with her because his friends don't like to play with her. Play some childish games, pick up and drop off every day from elementary school to the first day of junior high.

Second brother Xu went to the countryside partly because of her. At that time, their family had to have a child to go to the countryside. The eldest brother had already enlisted in the army at that time, so he and Xu Mengyuan could only go to the countryside. Taking this responsibility on his own initiative, he told Xu's father and Xu's mother that I was worried that my sister was too small, so I should go.

Then he resolutely shouldered the burden of going to the countryside. At that time, Xu Mengping was just a little boy who had just passed his fifteenth birthday.

Although this heavy burden, Xu Mengping, as a child of the Xu family, also has half the responsibility. Even if he did not have a specific understanding of the hardships of going to the countryside at that time, for a fifteen-year-old half-old child , Going to the countryside also means staying away from parents, family and friends, and a familiar environment, and being alone. This alone shows how precious Xu Mengping's commitment is.

What's more, how hard it is to go to the countryside, Lin Xianxian can also understand one or two from many literature and novels, but in the past five years, Xu Er Ge has never complained to the family for bitterness or tiredness. In front of Xu Mengyuan, he said everything. It was some interesting things in the countryside, which made Xu Mengyuan stupidly envious for a while, and was called a silly child by Xu's father, Xu's mother and aunt's aunt because of this.

Thinking of this, Lin Xianxian couldn't get angry with this second brother.
