It was already past two in the afternoon when the two returned home. Bai Zhizhi slept all the way in the back seat of the car. Lu Chuan did not wake up his wife, but drove the car directly to the door of his house and parked it. Nowadays, there are relatively few family members accompanying the troops in the military region, so there are vacant houses in the family compound. The small courtyard next to the house where Lu Chuan and his wife live is smaller than his own house, but he is not afraid of others talking about the empty house. Besides, Lu Chuan's position is the regiment commander, and no one dares to gossip about him. He can't curry favor with them too much.

Lu Chuan looked back at his wife who was sleeping obediently. He really wanted to go up and give her a kiss. His wife's skin was getting better and better and more tender.

January 1970, 8 13:15

Bai Zhizhi had already woken up and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing someone looking at her, she asked, "Honey, what time is it now? Why am I still in the car?"

Seeing that his wife had woken up, Lu Chuan adjusted his body and responded, "It's past 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I saw that you were still sleeping, so I stopped at the door and waited for you to wake up. You must be tired from shopping. Are you hungry now? We are going to go home. Some comrades will come over for dinner tonight. I have to go buy some food and drinks.

Bai Zhizhi was a little puzzled when she heard the man say that some guests were coming to his house for dinner today, so she asked, "Why are you going to the hospital today? How many comrades do you have? Are there enough dishes at home?"

As Lu Chuan got out of the car, he responded, "It's okay for just two of us to come to our house. If you can't make it today, you can wait until next time when you are free to treat us to a meal. It's only 3 o'clock in the afternoon, it's still early, let's go home first, it's very hot outside, don't get yourself too hot." After that, he opened the back door, helped his wife get out of the car, took the key to open the courtyard door, entered the living room, turned on the electric fan, and returned to the car to take all the things he bought today home, and then prepared to see what dishes were available. If there were enough for four people, he would not buy them, and wait until tomorrow morning to get up early to buy fresh vegetables.

Bai Zhizhi sat on the sofa and ate the fruit on the table - oranges. Fortunately, when her husband was not at home, she had stockpiled some vegetables in the kitchen. As for meat, she did not put much because the weather was very hot and there were no refrigerators at that time, so she only took one or two kilograms of pork each time, which was enough for one or two days.

Lu Chuan brought some food in from outside, put it on the table in the living room, and said to Bai Zhizhi, "Wife, what do you want to eat tonight? I'm going to the nearby market to buy some vegetables."

Bai Zhizhi said while eating oranges: "See if there is any meat. There is no meat at home. I want to eat taro pork. I have some taro at home. Your comrades are coming, so they will definitely need some wine. You can go to the canteen and buy two bottles of wine. Do you have any money on you? If you don’t have any, I’ll give you some first."

Lu Chuan wrote down the taro braised pork that his wife wanted to eat, and then said, "Wife, I still have money on me. The pocket money I just used to buy things is still with me. Then I will go buy some vegetables first, and I will do other things when I come back."

Bai Zhizhi: "Okay, you go first. I'll go back to the bedroom to rest. After I got pregnant, I feel sleepy from time to time."

Lu Chuan helped Bai Zhizhi to the bedroom on the second floor, asked his wife to lie down, and went downstairs to get the electric fan. His wife was afraid of heat and wanted to take a shower, but she didn't have time to boil water, so she had to take a shower later.

After settling his wife down, he took the cloth bag from the hook next to the kitchen door, and the house keys and car keys from the coffee table, and went out to buy groceries. Because yesterday, Political Commissar Wang and the leaders were asked to come for dinner at 17:30 in the afternoon, and it was almost 4 o'clock now, and the groceries they needed were only meat and wine, so he drove very fast. The vegetable market in those days was a very simple one.

Lu Chuan quickly arrived at the vegetable market. Because there was a military presence next to the market, there was no black market nearby, and they did not dare to have one. Therefore, the market was open for a long time every day, eight hours, because they were afraid that the people would have no meat to eat.

When Lu Chuan arrived at the market, he saw the butcher preparing to close his stall, so he quickly parked his car, got out and ran to the butcher stall to ask, "Boss, why are you closing your stall so soon today? Do you have any more meat for sale?"
