Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

After closing the gate, Gu Nuanyi stood there for a long time, looking up at the gloomy sky, and sighed deeply. It's not easy to be a military wife...

Gu Nuanyi didn't have the idea of ​​being a military wife. Being a military wife is really too difficult. You have to be alone when you are sick, give birth to a child, and do everything alone. It's okay if you meet an in-law who can help you, but if you meet one who can't help you, then life will be even more difficult...

After standing for a long time, Gu Nuanyi shivered, rubbed her hands and ran back to the house: "Huh, it's really cold outside..."

There is not much work to do in Heilongjiang Province in winter. The New Year pigs have been delivered, so the work of cutting grass for pigs has also stopped.

Gu Nuanyi sat cross-legged on the kang and knitted a sweater to pass the time. After knitting for a while, Gu Nuanyi took out the chestnuts from the space, slowly peeled off the thorny shells and put them on the stove to roast.

I glanced out the window casually: "Ah! It's snowing!!!"

Gu Nuanyi dropped the chestnuts in her hand, opened the door and ran to the yard, stretching out her hand hoping that snowflakes would fall on her palm.

Snowflakes fell, but they turned into water droplets when they landed on the palms. Even so, Gu Nuanyi was still enthusiastically playing with snow in the yard.

Please forgive a southern child for not having seen snow...

Gu Nuanyi had enough fun and as expected, she caught a cold: "Ahhh"

Gu Nuanyi quickly took out the cold medicine from the space and swallowed it

The kang was warm, but Gu Nuanyi still shivered involuntarily.

Gu Nuanyi filled another hot water bottle and held it in her arms: "Wow, I will never play in the snow again..."

After taking the cold medicine, Gu Nuanyi felt very sleepy and fell asleep shivering.

Gu Nuanyi's body, which had just recovered a little, suddenly returned to its former state.

When I woke up, it was dark outside.

Gu Nuanyi just felt weak all over, and her legs were so weak that she couldn't even stand when she got out of bed.

Raised his hand and touched his forehead: "It's so hot, I have a fever!!!" Gu Nuanyi took out the thermometer and measured it. It was 38 degrees 9.

Gu Nuanyi felt very weak all over. It was difficult for her to get out of bed, let alone heat the kang.

He simply flashed back to the space and found a side hall to sleep.

Gu Nuanyi was sweating when she woke up the next day. She took her temperature again and it was 37 degrees, still a little feverish.

Gu Nuanyi took a hot bath in the space and wrapped herself tightly before leaving the space.

Since there was no kang, the whole room was freezing cold.

Gu Nuanyi hurried to the kitchen and boiled a pot of hot water, and the room gradually became warmer.

Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out

Even though Gu Nuanyi's fever had subsided, she still looked sickly and her face was sallow.

I don't even have the energy to knit a sweater. I can only lie on the bed and read novels.

"Knock, knock, knock" At this moment, there was another knock on the door

Gu Nuanyi had no choice but to put on her clothes and drag her weak body to open the door.

Gu Nuanyi's appearance frightened Xu Xiumei who came to call for help: "Oh, why do you look so bad, kid? Come on, I'll take you to the hospital."

"I have a slight cold! Auntie, I've taken medicine and won't go to the hospital. Is there anything you need?"

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"

Gu Nuanyi nodded: "I'm much better after taking the medicine, I'm sure I don't need to go to the hospital."

"Okay, here's the thing. The brigade is going to kill the New Year pig. I came to ask if you want to buy some meat to eat during the New Year."

"If you want to buy meat, I'll go over after the team has distributed the points. I'll buy whatever is available then." All of Gu Nuanyi's work points were exchanged for food. If she wanted to eat meat, she had to buy it with her own money.

"Okay, we'll start slaughtering the pig at 10 o'clock tomorrow, and there will be a pig-killing dish at noon, so remember to bring a bowl to serve it! There's nothing else to do, so go and take a rest!"

Gu Nuanyi had no appetite, so she drank a bowl of porridge with pickles, took some cold medicine, and fell asleep again.

The next day, it was the sound from the radio that woke Gu Nuanyi up.

After waiting for about an hour, Gu Nuanyi wrapped herself up like a bear and came to the brigade headquarters.

While supervising the distribution of the meat, Gu Qianjin asked with concern: "Xiao Nuan is here, is your cold better?"

Gu Nuanyi felt much better except that her nose was still a little blocked: "Uncle, I'm much better now."

"Wait a moment, the meat will be divided soon."

Everyone wants fat meat, which can be used to make oil. If you save some oil, you can eat it for half a year.

Lean meat is only chosen when there is no other choice. Lean meat has less oil and water, so it cannot be refined into oil. Therefore, every time the meat is divided, what is left is lean meat and ribs.

Gu Nuanyi walked forward after no one was in line. As expected, there were only lean meat and ribs left on the table.

The brigade's financial officer pointed at the table and said, "There are only lean meat and spareribs left. I'll charge you 6 yuan per pound!"

"Please weigh these ribs for me!"

"12 pounds of spare ribs, 7 yuan, don't you want to buy some lean meat?"

Gu Nuanyi flipped it over and found two tenderloins and said, "Please weigh these."

Gu Qianjin said with a smile: "Although these two strips of meat are lean, they are tender. You know how to buy them! The pig-killing dishes over there will be ready soon. Bring the bowls with you. Ask your aunt to give you more!"

Seeing Gu Nuanyi coming, Xu Xiumei specially made a big bowl of pig-killing dishes for Gu Nuanyi. She was very thoughtful and put all the meat at the bottom of the bowl, and then covered it with a layer of sauerkraut and cabbage, so that others could not see it.

"All the meat I gained before I got sick is gone. I need to eat more to make up for it!"

"Thank you, aunt!"

Gu Nuanyi carried the heavy bowl back home, put the butchered pig dish back into the pot and added some noodles. This meal immediately opened up Gu Nuanyi's appetite which had been ruined by the illness.

After finishing one bowl, he still felt full, so he took out a portion of stir-fried meat from the space and ate a bowl of rice.

I ate so much that I took a walk in the yard to digest the food.

After Gu Nuanyi recovered from her illness, she rode her bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative before it snowed, intending to buy some things to take home to spend the winter.

I heard from the aunties that the heaviest snowfall can block all the roads, so if you want to get out, you can only wait for the snow to melt.

Matches, kerosene, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar... Gu Nuanyi bought a lot of them, and of course spent a lot of money on bills.

Gu Nuanyi looked at the decreasing number of bills in the box and scratched her chin: "I don't lack the money, but it will be troublesome if I don't have the bills. I can't buy things without bills..."

While riding her bike, Gu Nuanyi looked around to see if there were any job openings posted. After looking around, she gave up. Even if there were any job openings, they would have been digested internally and would never be released...
