The Pretty Military Wife
Chapter 49: Captain Zhou makes pancakes to coax his wife
Just looking at the huge table of dishes she cooked yesterday, you can tell that Liang Xinyue is not a lazy person.
Zhou Guoliang walked into the room and took a look, and saw Liang Xinyue still knitting, as if she didn't notice he had returned.
"Xinyue, you're not hungry yet? It's already noon."
Liang Xinyue didn't even raise her head:
"Not hungry, just full."
what?
Is there something wrong?
Zhou Guoliang thought quickly, what went wrong?
Uh……
"How can you just get full when you're angry? Too much anger is bad for your health. Then I'll go cook? Oh, there's some soup left over from last night, right? How about I make some pancakes and eat them with the soup?"
Zhou Guoliang said this with a little caution.
He roughly guessed why he was angry.
Liang Xinyue rolled her eyes at him again, then stood up and went to the kitchen to cook.
When passing by Zhou Guoliang, Zhou Guoliang reached out and hugged Liang Xinyue tightly in his arms:
"Why are you angry? Just live your life happily. The brothers in the barracks here are all rough guys. Sometimes they don't know the seriousness of their words. Don't take it to heart."
Liang Xinyue clicked her tongue:
"I don't care. Go away. I'm going to make pancakes."
Zhou Guoliang picked him up and said:
"You just supervise and I'll do the cooking. Today I'll let you know that I can cook, too."
Liang Xinyue, who was forced to leave the ground, was a little panicked and put her arms around Zhou Guoliang's neck:
"Hey, hey, put me down, I can walk by myself."
"Ha ha……"
Zhou Guoliang forcibly carried Liang Xinyue into the kitchen and placed her on a stool near the fire:
"You light the fire, and I'll knead the dough."
Zhou Guoliang rolled up his sleeves and started kneading the dough.
The fire for making pancakes should not be too big. If so, it is best to use some dry grass or leaves as kindling.
But there were only a few of these in the house. The rest were chopped pieces of wood.
Liang Xinyue could only go get the axe and chop the firewood into smaller pieces for burning while saying:
"Looks like I need to get some firewood. Can I chop firewood myself in the mountains around here?"
Zhou Guoliang knew that going up the mountain to chop firewood was a trivial matter for Liang Xinyue when she was in her hometown.
"Okay, but you have to watch the forest and be careful. There may be snakes in the forest. Are you afraid? Or we can wait until tomorrow. I'm on duty tonight and I can't come back at night. I won't go to drill tomorrow night. Let's eat early and go collect firewood."
"Are you on duty today?"
"Well, there are only a few people in the regiment, and they take turns on duty. Now that Lao Xu is back, it will be about a shift every six days."
Zhou Guoliang said as he kneaded the dough.
"By the way, Xinyue, would you be afraid if I don't come back to sleep?"
He thought that no matter how good Liang Xinyue was at farm work, she was always a familiar person at home.
But here, the people around her are not familiar to her.
"It's okay, I'll just lock the door."
"How about I ask Xiao Wei to help you lock the outer door at night, and come to help you open the door in the morning?"
Zhou Guoliang was really worried whether she would be scared being alone.
"No, there are soldiers on duty outside the compound gate, and there are soldiers and their families inside. What should I be afraid of? Besides, Xiao Wei is your orderly at work, not someone who needs to take care of your family. Don't ask Xiao Wei to run back and forth all the time. It's not good."
Liang Xinyue was definitely not afraid. In her previous life, she had lived in the school dormitory since she was in middle school, and she had to take care of herself, so she was very independent.
Zhou Guoliang smiled and said:
"I don't usually use Xiao Wei to do things. I like to do my own things. I was just worried that you might not be familiar with this place recently. So I asked him to run errands sometimes. Just don't be afraid. If you need anything, you can call Lao Xiao next door. When he's not on duty, he'll go home to take care of the kids."
As he was speaking, he heard sounds of beating and scolding and a child crying from next door.
The two looked at each other, then lowered their heads silently and did their own things.
I have to say that Zhou Guoliang has strong hands and the dough he kneads is very chewy. The pancakes he bakes are also golden yellow and taste delicious.
"I need to grow some green onions so I can make some green onion pancakes."
When Liang Xinyue ate this pancake, she thought of the scallion pancake she had eaten in her previous life.
Zhou Guoliang tore the cake and soaked it in chicken soup, and said with a smile:
"You can't grow anything here in the winter. It's too cold."
Liang Xinyue frowned, thinking about the small yard at the back. It was already autumn now, and if the things in it didn't sprout, they would be useless when winter came. She had to think of a way.
Liang Xinyue asked:
“How cold is it here in winter?”
"It's much colder than at home. It snows here almost every winter, sometimes even in October. According to Political Commissar Xu, we have to store food in winter, because there is a chance that the mountains will be blocked by heavy snow and we won't be able to leave."
"Can the mountain be closed by heavy snow?"
Liang Xinyue imagined this direction and it seemed to be a buffer zone from the plain to the plateau.
I didn't expect the winter here to be so cold that the mountains are blocked by snow.
It seems that I need to get some cold-resistant stuff.
In the afternoon, Liang Xinyue did not go out to collect firewood, nor did she knit a sweater at home. Instead, she took the ruler and measured in the room next to the kitchen.
She wanted to use the stove next door in this room to make a simple greenhouse.
I have been here for a few days. Although I bought some cabbage, there are not enough leafy vegetables here. If the mountain is closed due to heavy snow, it will be impossible to eat green vegetables.
Therefore, I have to think of some solutions in advance. With a greenhouse, at least there will be some onions and side dishes.
This was my specialty in my previous life, but it is of no use here. So I can make a small greenhouse to satisfy my appetite.
Without a thermometer, I can't measure a very stable temperature like I did in the experiment in my previous life. I can only experience it slowly by myself.
After measuring and calculating some data, when Zhou Guoliang comes back to eat tomorrow after he is not on duty, I can ask him where I can find some bricks.
If not, go outside and find some stones before it gets cold.
After Liang Xinyue had some preliminary data, she scratched the data on the corner of the wall with a knife.
I sat back in the house and started knitting again. It seems that I have to speed up my knitting. I also have to make myself a set of cotton clothes and trousers.
I am most afraid of cold weather. I don't think it will be easy to get through this winter.
When it was time to cook dinner, Liang Xinyue cleaned the yard. While cleaning the front yard, she noticed some movement in the yard on the right. She stood up and saw Gu Sanding was also cleaning the yard there.
Liang Xinyue laughed in surprise:
"Captain Gu, is this yard yours?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, Lao Xiao and I are on both sides of your house. When we chose the yard, we deliberately connected them together. I have never come to clean before, and I always live in the group. From today on, I will come back and live here when I am not on duty."
