The Pretty Military Wife

"Sister, give me this basin. I'll show it to the quartermaster so he won't say I'm just kidding him."

Xiao Wei took the cold basin.

"Okay, take it. When your regiment commander comes back tonight, I'll thaw the meat. How about we cook a stew of meat and potatoes tonight? By the way, Captain Gu and the others are back too, right? And Political Commissar Xu seems to be here alone, too? Ask them to come over for dinner."

Xiao Wei nodded and said:

"Okay. I'll go find the quartermaster first and come back to help you wash the potatoes later."

Xiao Wei came like the wind and ran away like the wind.

Liang Xinyue smiled, put the wool into the house, and then prepared to attack the chicken.

Zhou Guoliang was not at home these two days, and it would be a lie to say that she didn't miss him. Now that she heard that he was coming back, Liang Xinyue couldn't help but smile.

She prepared a basin, filled it with some clean water, and added some salt to the water and stirred it.

Then he grabbed the pheasant's wings, held its head in his hand, and plucked a few feathers from its neck with his other hand. Then he used a knife to pull it horizontally.

Blood immediately oozed out. Liang Xinyue immediately put down the knife, grabbed the chicken's two feet, and lifted the chicken upside down.

With both hands holding the chicken's wings and legs in place, it was useless for the chicken to struggle. When it struggled, the blood would flow faster.

When the blood stopped flowing, the chicken stopped struggling.

Liang Xinyue put the chicken in a wooden barrel on the side, and then poured the boiling water into the barrel, which had to be scalded before plucking.

When Liang Xinyue was plucking the chicken, Xiao Wei came in with a middle-aged man.

"Sister, this is our quartermaster, Lao Liu. Lao Liu came here specially to see your ice bucket."

Old Liu looks like an honest man, a little fat, and his teeth are visible when he smiles.

"Hello, sister-in-law. I heard Xiao Wei tell us about your idea. If we buy too many vegetables from the kitchen, we are afraid that they will go bad. If we don't buy too much, we can't go out to buy vegetables every day."

“So, I came to learn how it’s done.”

Liang Xinyue quickly put the chicken down and washed her hands in the water.

"Come and see. I also heard a story from an educated youth when I was at home. It was my first time doing it, too. I didn't expect it to work."

Liang Xinyue took them into the house to see the barrel, and told the quartermaster in detail how she did it.

The quartermaster sighed after hearing this:

"Why should we be educated? The educated youth are all educated youth. They understand things that we don't. We don't need the saltpeter anymore, but we just don't know that it has this use."

The quartermaster learned the trick and prepared to go back and use an empty stone jar to make it.

It is impossible for the troops to eat meat every day, there are requirements.

But this place is far from the county town, so it is not convenient to buy all of them at once. I can buy more potatoes and cabbage, but if I put too much meat in, it will not last if the temperature rises sharply in the next two days. I have to eat it.

The quartermaster had a headache about this for a long time and tried several methods, one was to cook it and put it in the well, which could keep it for two days, the other was to salt it, and the other was to put it in the well.

Now there is a solution, the quartermaster decided to go back and fix it immediately.

Seeing the quartermaster was about to leave, Xiao Wei immediately shouted:

"Wait, Lao Liu, didn't you ask me how to make delicious potatoes? Don't say I despise you, even Lao Gu said that."

Old Liu turned around and kicked Xiao Wei:

"How can you bear to eat it when I give it to you? Still complaining? Go home and try it. You can't even get enough to eat at home, and you still complain that it tastes bad?"

Although he scolded Xiao Wei, he still asked with a smile:

"Sister-in-law, these guys, when they were growing up, they ate like wolves. Now they complain that the food tastes bad. How did you do it?"

As he said this, he slapped Xiao Wei on the back of the head.

Xiao Wei jumped over with a giggle.

Liang Xinyue also glared at Xiao Wei. What you cook at home must be different from what other people cook in a big pot, right?

"Lao Liu, don't pay attention to him. I cooked it for them at home. I added meat to it. It has oil and meat, so of course it tastes better."

After they left, Liang Xinyue was busy cleaning the chicken, then slaughtered the snake and put it in the pot to simmer over low heat.

The chicken soup tastes delicious to begin with, and with the addition of snake meat, the aroma wafts out, which is very tempting.

At around five o'clock, Zhou Guoliang came back.

Captain Zhou, who was exhausted and dirty, came back limping, leaning on a piece of wood.

Liang Xinyue came out of the kitchen door and smiled brightly when she saw his dirty face:

"Xinyue, I'm back."

At that moment, Liang Xinyue suddenly realized what mission he was on.

Liang Xinyue's heart skipped a beat, and she ran forward and held him up with her hand:

"What's wrong with you? Are you hurt?"

Liang Xinyue's voice was trembling a little.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid. It's really okay, just a scratch on my leg."

Liang Xinyue said hurriedly:

"Sit down now, let me take a look."

They helped the man sit down in the main room, and then tried to roll up his trouser legs, but they were wearing leggings.

Zhou Guoliang reached out and picked up the squatting Liang Xinyue, holding her in his arms:

"Wife, I miss you when I go out."

Liang Xinyue's face suddenly turned red.

The gate to the yard outside is not closed yet.

There were also sounds coming from next door, it should be Lao Xiao who also returned home.

"Let...let me go, wash up first, I'll get you some hot water, and also, check on your wound."

Liang Xinyue thought of the hot water in the pot at the back and hurriedly reminded him.

The only way to take a shower here is in the bathroom in the backyard.

"Don't let go, I'll hug you."

Liang Xinyue didn't know that Zhou Guoliang was not just acting like a spoiled child. The mission he went out to carry out was actually very dangerous and he almost didn't make it back.

Although all of them came back this time, who knows what will happen next time.

He didn't have that feeling before he had a wife. At that time, he knew that he had to go without hesitation, but he kept saying sorry Xinyue, sorry Xinyue in his heart.

I'm back, holding the soft and warm crescent moon, and finally I really feel like I'm back.

It turns out that having a home is like this, with all the concerns.

Liang Xinyue seemed to feel that he was hugging her waist tightly, and there was something different.

She raised her hand and gently stroked Zhou Guoliang's back. This was the first time she responded to Zhou Guoliang's hug.

The couple hugged each other in silence for a while, and Zhou Guoliang spoke first:

"I...I'll change my clothes and wash them first. This one is too dirty."

Zhou Guoliang, who hugged his wife, was resurrected with full health.

Liang Xinyue quickly ran to the kitchen to turn over the braised meat in the pot. Fortunately, it was not burnt.

Then he got a bucket of water for him. When he got to the door of the main hall, Zhou Guoliang stretched out his hand:

"I'll come, you help me find some clothes."

"Your leg?"

Liang Xinyue was worried about his injury:

"It's really okay. Don't worry, it's no problem to carry this little water."
