(Second Update)

Lu Yujing was not there at noon, so Yu Ran simply ate a little and stared at the ground in the yard after eating.

She thought that more than half of the entire yard could be planted with vegetables, which would be convenient for eating.

She went to Wang Wenxin's house and found that except for a walking path, vegetables were planted everywhere.

It happened that she bought a lot of vegetables.

There was a sudden knock on the door. Yu Ran hurriedly opened the door and found Xiao Zhou standing outside. He was the orderly who drove to the train station to pick them up.

Yu Ran smiled, "Xiao Zhou, why are you here?"

Xiao Zhou wiped the sweat from his head and said with an honest smile, "Sister-in-law, Engineer Lu asked me to buy something, and I delivered it to you."

Yu Ran looked back and realized that Xiao Zhou had brought a pot and a large water jar.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhou, come in and have a drink of water."

Yu Ran went to the kitchen and poured a bowl of cold water with a little sugar in it to make it taste sweeter.

It can also add a little sugar.

Xiao Zhou originally thought it was ordinary water, but he didn't expect it to taste sweet in his mouth. He smiled gratefully at Yu Ran.

"Sister-in-law, let me bring the jar in. Where can I put it?"

Yu Ran pointed to the eaves of the kitchen, "Just put it here."

The eaves just cover the rain, so the water in the big water tank will not be dirty.

"Is it heavy? Let me help lift it." Yu Ran saw that the water tank was so big and that it was a very heavy porcelain-like tank, so he wanted to help lift it from behind.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, I can do it."

Xiao Zhou waved his hand, put it directly on his shoulder and came over, walking easily.

Yu Ran was surprised. This large water tank weighed almost a hundred kilograms at least. He could move it easily. He was indeed worthy of being a soldier. Even an orderly soldier was so powerful. He could do everything.

"Xiao Zhou, how much is it? I'll give it to you."

This big water tank and iron pot seem to cost a lot of money.

Xiao Zhou wiped his sweat and said, "Sister-in-law, Gong Lu has already given me the money."

Yu Ran smiled and took a bottle of seafood sauce from the kitchen to him, "I just happened to meet you, so just take it and eat it. I made this and it tastes good. Thank you for your hard work these few times."

The people she sent were all from the family home. Xiao Zhou was not married and was not in the family home, but lived in a military dormitory.

Xiao Zhou was too embarrassed to ask for it, so Yu Ran forced it on him, "Take it, or I won't ask you for help next time."

Saying this, Xiao Zhou took it.

The smile in his eyes became more sincere, "Gong Lu said I need two pots so that my sister-in-law can cook more easily."

"It's okay, sister-in-law, I'll go and get busy first."

Yu Ran saw him walking away and ran to the kitchen to look at the pot that had been placed on the stove, feeling warm in his heart.

She never thought that the stoves here are made to hold two pots, one large and one small. Last time, she only bought the large one, so cooking and stir-frying cannot be done at the same time.

Often, stir-frying is done first before cooking, as the dishes tend to get cold easily.

It's almost July now, and the weather is hot. But when it gets cold in winter, it won't be comfortable to eat cold dishes.

However, it is not easy to buy large iron pots. When I asked Wang Wenxin, I heard that the two iron pots in their home were purchased from someone who asked me to buy them, but they were bought several months apart.

Yu Ran was worried, so he mentioned it in front of Lu Yujing, saying that it would be nice to have two pots.

Unexpectedly, he actually remembered it.

When Lu Yujing came back in the evening, he saw Yu Ran smiling brightly.

"What's wrong? Are you so happy?"

he asked with a smile.

Yu Ran took him directly to the kitchen, "The pot you bought was just delivered by Xiao Zhou."

"It's good that it was delivered. I was worried that the pot would be difficult to buy, so I asked him to keep an eye on it. I didn't expect to buy it so quickly."

"Xiao Zhou is a very down-to-earth person," Yu Ran said.

I have contacted him several times and found that although Xiao Zhou is an orderly, he is thoughtful and responsive.

"It's quite real. I heard last time that Xiao Zhou's leader is very optimistic about him and will probably promote him. Although he comes from a rural area, he has a junior high school diploma. In the past two years, he went to the army because of his good performance.

I studied in a nearby school for a year.”

Yu Ran was surprised, "Then he's quite studious."

Lu Yujing smiled, "Yes, people who are studious will never have bad luck."

There are not many highly educated people here, not to mention that Xiao Zhou went to junior high school and studied in a military academy for a year because of his good performance. This made him stand out from so many soldiers.

What's more, his training as a soldier is not bad either.

Yu Ran was quite happy for Xiao Zhou when he heard what he said, "Then he doesn't have to worry about being discharged from the army and returning to his hometown."

Many people here are discharged from the army every year, some are injured, and some are retired because they have reached age and have not made any achievements.

Although the training here is hard, it is much better than going back to my hometown. At least I have enough food here and I get a stipend.

Lu Yujing looked at the pot, but it still felt a little uncomfortable when placed on the stove. "I'm going to mix some mud and make the stove a little better."

Yu Ran looked at the two hens running in the yard, and helped him shovel the mud together, "Make a little more mud, and we will make a chicken pen later. Can you do it by the way?"

There were also some bamboo sticks placed in the yard, and she went to do some digging in the afternoon when she had nothing to do.

Lu Yujing smiled, "This is simple, I'll make one later."

"Yu Ran, so are you. I've asked you to take a break, but you can't stop. But if your stomach hurts, don't do it anymore."

Seeing her chop the bamboo sticks, Lu Yujing felt a little helpless.

I told her many times, but she never listened.

I thought I would make some brown sugar and red date tea for her to drink later.

I heard the doctor said it’s better to drink more of this.

If she doesn't like ginger, leave it out.

Although the effect will be a little worse, it needs to be adjusted slowly.

Yu Ran smiled mischievously at him, "Can't I just sit idle? This is the home we will live in for several years in the future. It is empty, and I always want to fill it up with something to make it warmer."

our home?

When Lu Yujing heard what she said, his heart skipped a beat, and his movements on the mud became more serious.

Looking at this house, his eyes softened a little.

Originally, he only thought of this as a simple residence, but because of her words, he now only feels that this place is a little warmer, and it really feels like a home.

Thinking about how I wanted to come back as soon as I got off work every day in the past two days, the corners of my lips rose a little.

So this is what home feels like?

The two of them work together to make this home better and better.

Yu Ran found that Lu Yujing was in a very good mood tonight.

Even when she instructed Lu Yujing to cook, he became a little more skillful.

She was very patient and even put a layer of mats made of straw on top of the chicken coop to protect the hens from wind and rain.

After dinner, Yu Ran saw Lu Yujing put red dates in the pot again, and he suddenly asked, "What do you want to do?"

Thinking of the fear of being dominated by brown sugar ginger water for the past two days, Yu Ran felt a little desperate.

Lu Yujing smiled when he saw her like this, "Don't be nervous, I'll just put red dates and brown sugar, not ginger. The doctor said you should drink it regularly to replenish your body. It seems that longan is also very good. Unfortunately, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask, then

There is no edge."

It's a bit of a pity to say this.

But Yu Ran was already stunned.

She didn't expect that he would actually remember it firmly.

Even if there is no ginger, she doesn’t want to drink it!

Forced to drink a bowl of brown sugar and red date water, Yu Ran looked at Lu Yujing with something wrong.
