Zhou Jianguo laughed and said, "Every year during the Spring Festival, their family sells pigs to the army. They can make a lot of money from two pigs."

Lu Yuzhu was envious. "Then why don't we raise pigs too? Raising pigs here is safe. No one will steal them. The more pigs we raise, the more we earn."

Doing business nowadays is not safe. Not only will you be looked down upon, you may also be considered as a profiteer.

But raising pigs and chickens doesn’t count, these are all farmers’ production income.

Zhou Jianguo suppressed a laugh, "You're an intellectual from the city, and you know how to raise pigs!"

Lu Yuzhu puffed out her chest proudly, "Raising pigs is nothing! Didn't I go to the countryside to plant rice and grow crops? I even went to the threshing ground when harvesting wheat!"

No one is born with the ability to do it, so I'm going to tell you that I've prepared some books on farming."

Seeing that his young wife was eager to try and want to settle down here, Zhou Jianguo became even happier.

"Okay, as long as you don't mind the dirt, I'll help you."

Lu Yuzhu snorted, "You dare to look down on me? I'm going to raise a few more. As punishment, the task of buying the piglets will be given to you."

A fashionable young woman was walking towards me. She was wearing a green shirt with ruffles, reddish-brown flared pants, round-toed black leather shoes, and a neat and decent hairstyle. She was quite eye-catching.

"Deputy Captain Zhou, this is your new wife? She's quite pretty. I wonder if she can do housework."

Zhou Jianguo pretended not to hear the hidden meaning in her words and walked over to her, holding his wife's hand. "Hello, sister-in-law."

"Yuzhu, this is the lover of our leader, Captain Liu!"

Lu Yuzhu looked at the other person's fashionable dress and automatically categorized her as a capitalist lady.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

After parting, they first went to the military families' canteen to see that the lunch had been finished and they were preparing for the evening meal.

"Deputy Captain Zhou is here! We still have some leftovers from lunch. Want two?"

Zhou Jianguo took out his meal ticket and said, "Two servings, with meat!"

Anyway, the weather is hot now, so there is no need to worry about eating cold food.

Two servings of rice, one serving of stir-fried pork with beans, and one serving of loofah and egg drop soup.

The two had eaten at the station before, but it was not yet time for lunch.

The food in the cafeteria tastes okay, but it’s still not as good as Yuzhu’s cooking skills.

After dinner, we went to the military family store. There was really everything there, including vegetables and meat.

The meat is in the big freezer!

Lu Yuzhu started shopping with a wave of her hand. She had just arrived and wanted to buy something. Although she had enough space in her own space, she had to cover it up.

"Deputy Captain Zhou, it seems your wife wants to take matters into her own hands."

Old Li in the store watched the two soldiers busying themselves while counting the money with an abacus in his hands.

Seeing that there was a door-to-door delivery service, Lu Yuzhu couldn't help but smile and handed over another handful of wedding candy.

"Thank you, little comrade. Brother Jianguo, let's make dumplings for dinner."

Zhou Jianguo put his things down and washed his hands. "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll report to my superiors first."

The holiday was originally scheduled to start tomorrow, but since I’m here today, I might as well go and check in.

After picking up a bag of wedding candy and a pack of wedding cigarettes, Zhou Jianguo closed the door and went out.

Yuzhu took out the things in the luggage, including toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, and foot washing cloth, and put them all in place.

He wiped the straw mat on the bed with a wet cloth and took out a thin blanket and placed it on the bed.

Then she washed her hands and put on her distinctive Mofuku cloth apron.

Grab a few dried black fungus and dried shiitake mushrooms from the space and soak them in water first.

Scoop out the flour, add cold water into the basin and knead the dough. Knead it for a while and put a wet towel on it to let it rest.

Wash and chop the celery.

Take out the soaked black fungus and shiitake mushrooms and chop them all.

Add two slices of pickled mustard greens and chop them up.

Chop two pieces of dried tea into small pieces, put them all together, mix them with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and MSG, and marinate them.

Today I’m having celery, mushroom and meat dumplings.

The meat was chopped into small pieces. Jianguo had returned. He hung his hat on a nail behind the door, took off his military uniform, and wore only a long white vest.

"Do you want to mince the meat? Let me do it!"

Lu Yuzhu looked at the muscular lines on his arms and the bulging muscles on his chest.

I secretly admired my lover's figure, and when I thought of the hard touch he felt that night, I couldn't help swallowing my saliva again.

He stood up and made way, took the dough out of the bowl, sprinkled a layer of fine flour on the table, and kneaded it a few more times.

Grab a head and slowly roll it into thin strips and stretch it out.

Pull off the little stepsons one by one, line them up in a row, sprinkle a layer of flour on them, pinch one in your hand, press one with your palm, and they will become small round cakes.

He took out the rolling pin from his luggage, pinched the small dough in one hand, and rotated the rolling pin in a semi-arc shape with the other hand.

After a while, a round dumpling wrapper was ready.

Zhou Jianguo's eyes lit up, and he used more force on the knife in his hand, constantly scooping up the meat paste and continuing to chop it at a different angle.

Yuzhu looked up and said, "Okay, we're not going to make lion's head dumplings, so let's make dumplings with some meat to give them a chewy texture."

Add soy sauce, salt, sugar, MSG and other seasonings to the minced meat, mix well, and mix with the mixed celery, mushrooms, etc., and place on the table.

Zhou Jianguo picked up the dumpling wrapper and thought the small one was particularly cute. It was thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. It really took a lot of effort.

"I'll make the dumplings, and you roll out the wrappers."

On the table, plump dumplings were lined up like soldiers.

Zhou Jianguo stood up and found 100 pieces of black honeycomb coal neatly placed next to the coal stove in the kitchen.

He picked one up with tongs and went to Captain Jiang's house to exchange it for some burning red charcoal.

I came back to continue cooking and opened the stove door. The water tank was also full. It must have been picked by Xiao Chen. I put water in the pot and turned around to make dumplings again.

Continue until all the dumplings are wrapped and the water has boiled.

Zhou Jianguo was making dumplings while Lu Yuzhu was tidying up the table, washing the basin, and wiping the rolling pin.

There was a knock on the door. It turned out to be Captain Jiang's lover.

The woman looked to be in her late 40s, wearing a dark blue top with a small lapel and black pants.

When turning sideways, you can see two big, round patches on the butt of the pants.

Her short hair stood up unruly.

Captain Liu’s lover also had short hair before, but she was a fashionable woman with neat black hair.

The one in front of me is unkempt.

Moreover, Jianguo said that she was only in her early 30s and looked a little too old.

Following behind was a little boy of about six or seven years old. He had ordinary looks and ordinary clothes, but he had a pair of bright black eyes.

I heard that this female comrade was the mother of Captain Jiang, and she agreed casually while chatting in the countryside.

She followed her all the way to the army. At that time, Battalion Commander Jiang had just been promoted to company commander. He didn't dare to drive her away, let alone reject her.

"Let me take a look at Deputy Captain Zhou's lover. She must be a stunning beauty, ha!"

A rough and heroic female voice rang out in the courtyard.

"I introduced several candidates to your Lao Zhou, but he refused.

Once, my sister from the countryside came to visit, but he refused to date and didn't even give face to my sister-in-law.

I just wanted to bring him together. He was already 28 years old and should get married sooner. But he just ran away with a sullen face.

My sister came home crying, and now she's found a country guy, and she's not living a happy life."

Yuzhu and the other person listened awkwardly.
