"I don't want you to run away in vain. How about ten dollars?"
Ten yuan? The uncle was a little excited when he heard the price. He couldn't make so much money even if he collected scraps for a few days.
"Daughter, it's not that I don't want to give it away, but it's really a long way to go for you, and you still have so many things."
Chen Lishu was still anxious to go somewhere else, so she finally gave the uncle an extra two yuan before letting him send the things over first.
After Chen Lishu left, Gu Xingdong was bored at home when he suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the window, followed by a knock on the door: "Batalion Commander, open the door."
Gu Xingdong walked to the door and opened it. He saw Wang Dazhu and several other young soldiers each carrying something on their shoulders: "What are you doing?"
"An old man who was riding a tricycle was stopped by the officer on duty at the door. After asking, he found out that his sister-in-law had bought something, and we brought it to him."
When Gu Xingdong heard what he said, he stepped aside. As Wang Dazhu came in, a few more people followed him. When a few people put down their things and were about to leave, Wang Dazhu thought of something and stopped: "Batalion Commander, my sister-in-law also asked me to give you a message."
I mean, a table leg is broken and you are bored at home, watching and tinkering with it."
As Wang Dazhu spoke, he couldn't help but admire Chen Lishu for daring to assign tasks to their black-faced battalion commander. This sister-in-law is not an easy person.
"I know." Gu Xingdong said and saw him go out and close the door.
On the other end, Chen Lishu went to the department store after coming out of the scrap collection station. When she left, Gu Xingdong gave her some money and tickets, and she started to purchase items bit by bit according to the list.
Thermos bottles, kettles, washbasins, towels, soaps, curtain fabrics, and more and more miscellaneous things. It was definitely impossible to take them back, so Chen Lishu had no choice but to go home first and come back tomorrow.
We took the bus all the way to the entrance of the camp. A young soldier on duty at the door saw that she had taken a lot of things. Knowing that she was the lover of Battalion Commander Gu, he immediately called another young soldier to help bring them back.
"Thank you very much. Let's go inside and drink some water before we go." Seeing the little warrior helping her to the door of the room to put down her things and leaving, Chen Lishu smiled and gave way.
"If I can't help my sister-in-law, I'll go back first." After the little warrior finished speaking, he turned and left.
Gu Xingdong had an injury on his leg to prevent him from moving back and forth. Chen Lishu took out the key and was about to open the door when she suddenly heard voices coming from the room.
"This guy of yours is really capable. Where did he get so many things?" Zhou Liang laboriously placed the dressing table against the wall as Care Xingdong said.
"Lao Gu is usually just as capable as us, but he immediately turned into a paper tiger when it came to his family. You didn't know that that day in the hospital..."
As soon as Wu Zheng started talking about it, his words were missing.
Gu Xingdong was fixing the legs on the table. He raised his head and squinted at him, and said in a faint voice: "What happened that day?"
Wu Zheng suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on his neck, and subconsciously shrank his neck.
Seeing his cowardice, Gu Xingdong sneered: "Say, why don't you say it?"
Wu Zheng immediately sneered and said: "Bald mouth, I was bald for a while, but actually nothing happened."
As Wu Zheng spoke, he looked up and saw Chen Lishu opening the door and coming in. He immediately came over to greet her as if he had seen a savior: "Brother and sister, why have you bought so many things? I'll carry them for you where you want to put them."
Seeing Wu Zheng like this, Zhou Liang couldn't stand it and joked: "As for Old Wu, how come Old Gu can still eat you?"
Wu Zhengxin said that he couldn't eat him, but he could torture him to death.
"I bought some bones and other vegetables today. You can eat them at home tonight." Chen Lishu said to the two of them with a smile as Wu Zheng carried the things to the kitchen.
Just when Zhou Liang was about to agree, Wu Zheng came out of the kitchen quickly: "No, no, you still have to clean up. Besides, I didn't tell my wife in advance that I might as well leave it another day. Don't worry, my brothers and sisters, I can handle this meal for your family."
Remember, you can't run away."
When Zhou Liang saw what he said, he smiled and said next time, and then the two of them said goodbye and went out together.
"Your wife isn't at home, right? It's troublesome to go to the cafeteria. You can just go to my house for a meal."
After leaving the Gu family's door, Wu Zheng talked to Zhou Liang.
Zhou Liang thought for a while and nodded, but did not forget to explain at the end: "The Zhao Jing Art Troupe recently had a performance to rehearse, so it was quite busy, so I didn't let her go back and forth."
…
After the two left, Chen Lishu was afraid that Gu Xingdong was too tired and would not recover from his leg injury, so she urged him to go to bed, wash the bones and put them in a pot to stew, and then began to put things away bit by bit.
After everything was almost arranged and the bones on the stove were almost simmered, she took out the bones and started to make noodles and roll them out. The soup was made of bone broth and added some vegetables.
Add some soy sauce and vinegar, and soon the delicious soup noodles will be ready.
"People say that the shape makes up for the shape. Eating this is good for your leg injury." Seeing that he was already sitting obediently at the table, Chen Lishu smiled and put the noodles and a big bone in front of him.
Comparing him to a pig? Gu Xingdong raised his eyebrows: "You really think I can't deal with you even if I hurt a leg?"
Chen Lishu sat down next to him proudly and teased: "You are like this now. How can you deal with me when you can't even stand on one leg?"
Gu Xingdong stared at her for a long time and suddenly leaned forward, pointing out: "I don't just have two legs."
Chen Lishu paused while clamping the noodles, and after she understood what he meant, her face suddenly burned at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her two ears, which were like gold ingots, were gradually stained with red.
Gu Xingdong's Adam's apple twitched, and he suddenly stretched out his fingers and gently twisted her small earlobe.
His fingers were covered with thin calluses left by years of training, and the slight rough friction made Chen Lishu immediately take a breath, and her whole body became half stiff.
Gu Xingdong was feeling a little proud when he saw her reaction, when suddenly his eyes touched her lips, and then the other party boldly traced the shape of his lips with the tip of her tongue.
Gu Xingdong's body trembled. Just when he wanted to deepen the kiss, the other party seemed to have anticipated his intention and quickly pulled away.
"How do you feel?" Chen Lishu followed his example and raised her eyebrows, looking at him with a charming gaze.
Gu Xingdong had never seen Chen Lishu like this before. He felt that the blood in his body was rushing to one place, and he felt as if he was going to explode on the spot.
Chen Lishu saw that his face was flushed and his nose was breathing heavily. She did not dare to tease him anymore, so she moved a stool and sat further away from him: "Eat."
Gu Xingdong sat there and calmed down for a while, then gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Just wait for me."
After the two of them had eaten, Chen Lishu tidied up the kitchen and took out a piece of dark green cotton and linen cloth she bought during the day. She shook off the other side and let Gu Xingdong help pull it and roughly indicate that it was the right size.
