Li Yonggang learned to cook since he was a child, so when he visits relatives, his sisters-in-law don't need to come and cook for him.

Li Yonggang cooks delicious food for his mother every meal.

After Li Yonggang was promoted and started making money, he no longer let his mother eat only coarse grains.

Before visiting his relatives, Li Yonggang exchanged a pack of good cigarettes for 100 kilograms of food coupons from the quartermaster. Together with the 53 kilograms of food coupons he had managed to get before, the total was 153 kilograms.

They are all fine grain coupons.

The grain station in Hexin Town near Lijiazhuang has limited supplies, so Li Yonggang goes to the grain station every two days to buy flour and rice.

Even so, it was not possible to always go to that grain station, so Li Yonggang went to another grain station in the county town to buy some fine grains.

The two grain stations take turns buying, and if the number of purchases is too large in a short period of time, there will be restrictions.

Li Yonggang put on his military uniform and went to buy fine grains. When the people at the grain station saw that he was a soldier with four pockets, they relaxed their restrictions.

In that era, the work of supporting the military and caring for the families of soldiers was done very well.

Li Yonggang would take advantage of his vacation at home to save up some fine grains so that his mother could continue to have fine grains to eat after he returned to the army.

For today's meal, Li Yonggang is going to steam big white buns for his mother.

A dozen steamed buns were kneaded and just put into the pot when my mother, who was lying on the kang in the room, spoke.

"Yonggang, the steamed buns are in the pot, right? Add some firewood to the stove and start burning slowly. Come inside, I have something to tell you."

It seems that the mother had been waiting and only called her son in after hearing the sound of steamed buns being put into the pot.

"Why!"

Li Yonggang agreed, stuffed a handful of wooden sticks into the kitchen, and then hurried into the house.

Li Yonggang saw that his mother's bowl of water on the kang was empty, so he picked up the thermos on the table and poured boiling water into the bowl.

The mother looked at her son and said, "Yonggang, why did you take so long to come back?"

Liu Junhui asked Li Yonggang to go to the top of the bank of the Grand Canal's backflow channel to discuss something, and Li Yonggang told his mother.

Li Yonggang then told the story of the silly girl Liu Junhui who jumped into the river after her marriage proposal was rejected.

Li Yonggang's mother's face changed when she heard this.

"Oh my God! If this silly girl really drowns, won't we be in trouble too?!"

Li Yonggang said: "Yes, if I am not careful, I will not be able to serve as an officer! So I..."

Li Yonggang briefly told his mother how he gave Liu Junhui artificial respiration and saved her life.

"What?!"

Li Yonggang's mother's face changed again when she heard this.

"You kissed Liu Junhui? That's a problem! Liu Junhui is begging you to be her date, and her mother, Bai Fenglian, is behind it. What kind of person is Bai Fenglian? She might even insist that you and Liu Junhui kissed and try to get back at us!"

Li Yonggang thought to himself, if even my mother takes mouth-to-mouth sex so seriously, this might really be a problem.

Li Yonggang consoled his mother, saying, "Don't worry, Mom. I absolutely disagree. What can Liu Junhui and her mother do?"

Li Yonggang's mother sighed, "Alas! Yonggang, it seems you still don't understand Bai Fenglian!"

Li Yonggang was just about to continue to persuade his mother to relax when there was a sudden knock on the gate, each knock louder than the last.

Li Yonggang concluded that it was Liu Junhui who came, and maybe even called for help.

So Li Yonggang didn't want to open the door.

But my mother said, "Yonggang, the door still needs to be opened. If you don't open it, Liu Junhui's mother will keep knocking, and more and more villagers will come outside to watch the excitement. The villagers will say that we are guilty and that's why we didn't open the door."

Li Yonggang thought about it and felt that what his mother said made sense. This matter could not be rejected out of hand.

Li Yonggang walked out of the house and reached the gate, then opened it.

Liu Junhui's mother, Bai Fenglian, smiled, but her eyes were filled with anger. "My goodness! I've knocked on the door over a hundred times! My wrists are sore!"

Li Yonggang wondered why Liu Junhui didn't knock on the door, and glanced at Liu Junhui behind Bai Fenglian.

I saw Liu Junhui holding a basket in both hands. The basket was full of eggs, probably about a hundred of them.

Liu Junhui smiled at Li Yonggang foolishly, revealing her neat and white teeth.

And there seemed to be a hint of profound meaning in Liu Junhui's eyes.

Li Yonggang looked outside the door again and saw that there were already dozens of people watching the fun, most of them were women.

Li Yonggang said to the crowd in a bad mood, "It's so hot, aren't you afraid of getting a heat stroke? Do you want to come to my house and have a drink of water?"

Those women didn't care about Li Yonggang's sarcasm at all and were all smiling.

"No, no, go home and drink!"

"Yonggang, hurry up and take your wife inside! They've been sitting in the sun for ages!"

"Yonggang is so lucky! Look how wealthy the girl he's dating is!"

"Yonggang, you should get this done before you return to the army so we can enjoy the wedding wine, hahahaha..."

I'll go.

Could it be that some of them came just to support Liu Junhui and her mother?

At this time, Liu Junhui and her mother had already entered the courtyard, and Li Yonggang slammed the gate shut in annoyance.

Bai Fenglian walked into the main hall and looked at Li Yonggang and said, "Yonggang, is my sister-in-law feeling better now?"

In fact, Li Yonggang's mother is a few months younger than Bai Fenglian, but Li Yonggang's father is one year older than Liu Junhui's father.

In rural areas, men are generally addressed according to their titles.

Li Yonggang didn't even look at Bai Fenglian: "Go inside and you'll know."

After entering the main room, Li Yonggang directly asked the mother and daughter to go into the east room.

As soon as Bai Fenglian entered the room, she grabbed Li Yonggang's mother's hands with both hands.

"Sister-in-law! I always say I want to see you, but I have too much work in the fields. Are you feeling better now?"

Li Yonggang's mother was a reasonable and honest person. She had originally been full of resistance to Liu Junhui's mother, but now seeing Liu Junhui's mother being so enthusiastic and seeing Liu Junhui bringing a basket full of eggs, she couldn't help but smile.

"Look, look, it's so hot, and you came to see me, and brought a basket of eggs!

Yonggang gave me some medicine he brought back from the army, and I'm feeling better now, but I still can't get off the kang... You two, hurry up and sit down!

Yonggang, make two bowls of sugar water for the mother and daughter!"

Bai Fenglian immediately said, "No, no, Junhui and I just ate watermelon!"

Because of Liu Junhui's skills, the Liu family always has melons and watermelons to eat.

Li Yonggang stopped pouring the water.

Liu Junhui had already placed a basket of eggs on the kang. Seeing that Li Yonggang stopped pouring water, she walked to the eight-immortal table where the thermos and tea bowls were placed.

"Let me pour the water!"

Liu Junhui was quite skillful in pouring the boiling water.

Liu Junhui poured four small bowls of water in one breath.

Then, he turned around and asked Li Yonggang: "Where is the sugar?"

Li Yonggang didn't look at Liu Junhui, but only at the small table under the eight-immortal table where bottles and jars were placed: "Over there."

Liu Junhui picked up the bottle of sugar from the small table and placed it on the table of the eight-immortals table.

Then he used a small spoon inserted in the bottle to scoop out four spoonfuls of sugar, placed them in four bowls of water, and stirred them with a small spoon.

Then, Liu Junhui picked up a bowl of sugar water and walked directly to Li Yonggang's mother.

"Mom! Have a bowl of sugar water to nourish your body!"

mother? !

The sound was not very loud, but it almost shattered the eardrums of Li Yonggang and his mother.
