This house was no different from the Australian houses she had seen in Lingao. The walls were whitewashed with limewash, and a gas lamp was set on the walls. ↑ The windows were made of bright glass, and the floor was
More sophisticated: Bamboo flooring is used. The ceiling is not high, and the area of the room is even pitifully small.
This house is really smaller than the pigsty that my family used to have! Although Wang Baoer's family was just a small grain farmer in the past, the courtyard at home was quite large. The threshing floor in front of the door was almost an acre of land, and there were three large tile-roofed houses facing north.
Every room is twice as big as this house, even the wing room for the busy man who does the work is bigger than this one.
My man has always boasted about how rich the "chiefs" are, how well they treat the people, how the people live and work in peace and contentment, and how well fed and clothed they are... It sounds like it is like a paradise on earth - just look at how cramped this house is to live in.
Qu, it’s nothing more than that…
But after all, Lingao is a peaceful place. There are no rebels or bandits everywhere. Food is cheap. Not only can you eat fine grains, but you can also eat fish and meat from time to time. In her hometown, let alone famine and military disasters, it is normal.
In this young age, it is rare for people like her to eat a few meals of fine grains, let alone fish and meat - eating a piece of tofu is an improvement in their diet.
It’s good to have such a small place to live, but you know that you and your husband don’t even have a house like this. You don’t know when you will have your own house. You are also in a miserable life, and the loss of your family is not included.
, and finally ended up marrying such a low-level warrior! Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly shed tears. When Zheng Yue'e asked her to put the plate, she quickly wiped it with her sleeves.
Huang Ande called his brothers to sit down. Everyone put the food and wine they had brought on the big table. Huang Ande was a bachelor, so naturally no one cooked. What he prepared was to buy two roast ducks from Dongmen City: Shangguan
The restaurant sells authentic Nanbao duck with hanging stove, which is oily and crispy. They also prepare a lot of rice beer and fruit wine.
The two female family members did not dare to sit with the men like the legendary female chief. Instead, they hid in the kitchen and took care of the food and wine.
"Brother Huang, your gas stove is so easy to use. You can turn it on with a match and light it up."
"It's because the chief is so powerful, the stove is so sophisticated." Wang Baoer looked at the stove carefully, "There is gas coming out here, maybe the chiefs are using methane gas from retting dung."
"It's not biogas, it's coal gas." Zheng Yue'e said well-informed, "The biogas thing comes and goes. It's unreliable to cook with it." She took out a cloth apron and put it on, rolled up her sleeves and started working.
Get up. The food and wine are all ready-made. Apart from slicing the cold meat and putting it on the plate, the rest just needs to be heated up.
After everyone sat down, Huang Ande asked everyone to fill up their glasses. After seeing that the wine glasses were filled, Huang Ande raised his wine glass and said that everyone was his brothers who followed him through life and death. If it weren't for the help of his brothers, he would have weighed more than a hundred kilograms of meat.
.Maybe he threw it in Dengzhou City. After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass. Everyone sighed and drank the contents of their glasses. After drinking the wine, the chat box opened, and the atmosphere
It becomes more active. At this time, remembering the bitter and remembering the sweet is the easiest time to resonate with everyone.
"Hey. When I was in the Dengzhou camp, I could look forward to having a full meal and it would be worth it to die. I didn't expect that now I can have a full meal. It's a pity that Brother Zhang is so good at horseback riding and martial arts. Stand up.
The master of Luzhuang said it would be of great use, but he didn’t expect to go out for reconnaissance and shoot an arrow at the Liao soldiers, so he died like that!”
"Big man Li is pitiful. He is usually as strong as an ox, but he fell ill as soon as he arrived in Lingao. It passed within a few days. He didn't enjoy even a single day of happiness. Alas."
"Even when I arrived in Lingao, I didn't necessarily enjoy the blessings. Bi Dalu from Shuiying was my cousin. He also arrived in Lingao and was assigned to the Navy. It was a famous place for eating and drinking. I didn't expect that when I returned to the sea,
He followed the master to load coal into the boiler, but the stove exploded and water vapor spurted out, scalding him to death! Speaking of which, he was an only child, and his whole family died in Dengzhou. I thought that arriving in Lingao was just a matter of delaying my aunt's cigarettes.
I didn’t expect it to be gone like this!”
Everyone talked about their friends and acquaintances, which caused bursts of sighs.
At this time, Cao Qing laughed and said: "Among our group, apart from Brother Huang, Brother Zhu is the most capable. He can still pull out his old sweetheart among thousands of troops." In one sentence.
The whole table laughed. Zhu Si lowered his head and laughed foolishly. Zheng Yue'e poked her head out from the kitchen and spat: "Cao Qing, you can't change your bad mouth no matter where you go."
Zhu Si said: "This is because Brother Huang is willing to help, otherwise I wouldn't have the ability!"
"Speaking of it, it's still the kindness of the Senate. If Chief Lu hadn't sent me to the human market to buy people, Zhu Si, how could you have met your sister-in-law? How could I have rescued her?" Huang Ande said with emotion, "It's also my sister-in-law who shouldn't die!
You deserve this marriage!"
Zhu Si chuckled, as if a fool is lucky. Zheng Yue'e brought out a big plate. Two roast ducks had been roasted on the stove again, all sliced into slices, each slice had skin and meat, and the
With sweet noodle sauce, scallions, cucumber strips and pancakes - they were all bought as a set. Zheng Yue'e now works as a cook in a cooperative restaurant, and her knife skills are not bad.
"It tastes good to you all, but it won't taste good when it's cold!" He said, wiping his hands on his apron, and then turned back to the kitchen to get other food and drinks.
Huang Ande saw Zheng Yue'e chatting and laughing freely, regaining the spirit of the hot girl in the past, and couldn't help but raise his glass and smile. Turning his head, he saw his cousin Huang Xiong, eating vegetables by himself. His wife was also hiding in the kitchen.
, just work silently.
"Brother, we are all brothers here, let's have a drink together." Huang Ande couldn't help but persuade him to drink. Huang Xiong sighed slightly and drank a drink with Huang Ande.
"Brother, why do you look so depressed?"
"To be honest, brother Ander, my brother and I have recently entered the tactical training class of the General Staff. When I entered the class, I saw that most of them joined the army later than me - supposedly we were also the first members of the security corps. At that time, Cheng
We didn't catch up with the battle, we really couldn't catch up step by step." He took another sip of wine and sighed heavily.
What Huang Ande knows best about Huang Xiong is that he failed to catch up with the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, and did not participate in the subsequent Summer Awakening. His performance was much worse than that of the same period. It was not easy to participate in such a big operation as Operation Engine. As a result,
His team, because he failed to control himself, was not promoted. Instead, he was assigned to Jeju Island as the White Horse Team, and missed the subsequent action against the Zheng family.
However, since each of them has a wife, it is hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing in a city where there are more men than women. Huang Xiong’s wife, Wang Baoer, also hid when she heard her husband talking about this matter.
I didn't dare to come out and answer the question in the kitchen.
Huang Ande then comforted Huang Xiong: "Brother, didn't you marry a wife? Now that my wife is pregnant, it would be better to have a son tomorrow than to be promoted!"
"Brother Ande, don't forget that I married a daughter-in-law, but I haven't been promoted to the official position, I haven't been allocated a house, and I don't know that I have to queue up until the end of the year to buy one. Now we still have to sleep in a dormitory. I can say it myself, my wife is pregnant.
I don’t worry about being disliked by others in a dormitory. Besides, what will I do after I give birth to a child? I may not continue to live in the dormitory..."
Mr. and Mrs. Huang Xiong are similar to Mr. and Mrs. Zhu Si. They live separately on weekdays and only get together on holidays. After getting pregnant, living in a dormitory is very inconvenient. Wang Baoer has been having trouble with Huang Xiong recently because of this.
Buying land to build a house by yourself is a no-brainer in Lingao: except for some land owned by the indigenous people in the past, almost all the land belongs to the Senate. The Planning Yuan not only controls the land planning of the county, but also never sells houses to individuals.
base, unless there are indigenous people willing to sell them homesteads: the price is simply unaffordable to Huang Xiong.
Wang Qisuo asked: "Brother Huang can't apply for a house? Our security battalion has just allocated houses to officers recently. Brother Huang is a veteran of the security group and is longer than the oldest company commander in our battalion."
"We are a field force, how can we be compared with the Yulin Army like you? I applied, but there were too many officers in the battalion to apply. Although I have seniority, I haven't fought many battles, so I can't accumulate merit.
The score is not enough. I can only wait in line slowly. I heard from Xiao Xie from Lianqin that it won’t be my turn until at least next year.”
"Brother Huang, you are an old man in the security team after all. You were the first to follow the leader to follow the dragon, so you must have some discounts." Wang Qisuo said while eating wine and food.
"Commander, you still remember us. Now the Senate has a great business and a strong army..." Huang Xiong drank too much and couldn't help but complain. He recently received training in the General Staff Tactical Training Class, which was originally a good thing to prepare for promotion. After going there
I saw that many people who were much younger than me were equal to or even above me in terms of military rank and position. Although I got a wife, I felt a little bit unhappy. What's more, I broke the rules because of this wife, and I didn't get a house.
After coming to Lingao, Wang Baoer would often murmur: "The officials in my family have made great contributions to the chief. Other families have houses, why doesn't my family have one? We still have to squeeze in with so many people."
"Also, there are no enlightened private schools here. How will the children go to school in the future?" Wang Baoer, who had been silent in the kitchen for a long time, also intervened after hearing her husband's words.
"It's easy to go to school. The leaders also have schools. Your brother Huang Xiong is an officer. There is no charge for children to go to school. My younger brothers and sisters can rest assured." Huang Ande also knew that land in Linggao was very expensive and he was nervous about living there, so he didn't dare to take it. Huang Xiong followed his younger siblings' lead and said a few words. However, as soon as the conversation started, the brothers Huang Ande brought from Dengzhou began to complain more and more.
