"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it's me——"

"Yesterday, Deputy Captain Qiao and I went to the hospital to pick you up from the family compound, Shen Xiaoqi."

"wrong--"

"Swish"

"Snapped"

"Reporting to my sister-in-law, I am Shen Xiaoqi, the orderly of the A711 unit, the first battalion of the first regiment, deputy commander Lu Chenting."

"Report completed."

Shen Xiaoqi cleared his confused mind, stood up quickly, and after a standard military salute, he introduced himself in a serious manner.

"Ohhhh, and me too."

"Sister-in-law, I'm Gu Yiyan, the commander of the First Battalion of the Second Regiment. I grew up with Brother Lu in the Beijing Military Region compound."

The stunned Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan was poked in the waist by Comrade Shen Xiaoqi beside him. He shuddered, puffed out his chest, and introduced himself.

"Hehe, that girl, I'm Cao Xiucha, the wife of the Third Regiment's Captain Huang Tian, ​​and I'm also the Women's Director of our A711 Army Family Compound."

As soon as Gu Yiyan finished speaking, Cao Xiuchai's sister-in-law introduced herself without hesitation.

Su Nianxi: “…”

Su Nianxi, who was sitting on the ground, rolled over and got up from the ground nimbly.

Su Nianxi: "Hello, Director Cao! My name is Su Nianxi."

Cao Xiuchai: "Hey! Hello, sister, just call me sister-in-law——"

After hearing this, Su Nianxi opened her little mouth, and presented a row of neat, white teeth to the gentle-looking sister-in-law Xi Xiucha.

Then, continue to say hello.

Su Nianxi: "Comrade Shen, Captain Gu, hello!"

Shen Xiaoqi: "Hello, sister-in-law..."

Gu Yiyan: "Sister-in-law..."

Su Nianxi: "Eh, no, no, where did you come from? Wrong, no, where did you get in from? Do you have the key to my house?"

Su Nianxi, who was always alert as soon as matchsticks were involved, interrupted Gu Yiyan before he could finish his words and asked the three people at the kitchen door with a look of surprise.

"The front door of your house—"

Gu Yiyan, Shen Xiaoqi, and Sister Xi Xiuchai were all puzzled by Su Nianxi's question. They looked at Su Nianxi who stood up from the ground with confusion and answered in unison.

"what?"

"The front gate? Did the three of them come in through the front gate?"

"Oh, when Lu Chenting left yesterday, he didn't lock the door?"

"Then the door has been unlocked since last night?"

"Su Nianxi, you are so stupid, what the hell are you? You didn't close the door last night——"

Su Nianxi, listening to the unanimous voice of the three people before her, felt a pang of fear in her heart and secretly despised herself.

If Su Nianxi had a clean face now, she would definitely have an ugly orange face now.

"Tsk, this girl has a pretty tall and straight figure. She's wearing a coat in this snowy weather, and she looks pretty sexy."

The sharp-eyed sister-in-law Cao Xiucha stared at Su Nianxi who had just rolled up from the ground, muttering secretly in her heart.

"Uh--"

"The height is okay, not a small potato."

"From now on, my nephew won't be afraid of short legs anymore—"

"It's this skin color, tsk—"

Seeing Su Nianxi stand up like a pine tree, Gu Yiyan, who was always out of tune, narrowed his eyes slightly like a disturbed cat, and then looked at Su Nianxi in front of him seriously as if examining a prisoner. The girl was as dark as a coal ball, with a face and hands rubbed black. He started to worry about other people's business and muttered to himself.

"Oh, oh, the gate—"

"Well, can anyone buy me two boxes of matches?"

"No, it's ten boxes—"

"Wait, two, twenty boxes."

Su Nianxi's cherry lips opened slightly, her soft lips were like a blooming black rose, revealing a row of neat and white teeth, shining like pearls; she made a scissors "two" gesture with her left hand, like a playful little rabbit, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Twenty boxes—"

The three people at the kitchen door, upon hearing this astonishing number, were struck by thunder and simultaneously let out a deafening cry of surprise, the sound seeming to break through the roof and resound through the sky.

"Oh my god, this sound is so loud..."

"Well, I have money. I give you money and don't let you spend it."

"..."

"Or, tell me where you bought it, and I'll buy it myself—"

Su Nianxi suddenly remembered that this was the 1970s. Buying twenty boxes cost two cents each, so twenty boxes would cost forty cents. In that poor era, forty cents was a lot of money, so he immediately changed his words.

"Twenty boxes?"

"There are about ninety sticks in a box, and these twenty boxes—"

"..."

"Mom, there were 1,800 of them."

"Sister-in-law, are you going to buy some matches to eat for three meals?"

Comrade Shen Xiaoqi's eyelashes, which were short and sparse like withered cattails, fluttered like two small fans. He kept counting and muttering to himself. Finally, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, muttering to himself as if he had seen a ghost.

"Strange man, strange man——"

"What kind of wife did Brother Lu marry???"

"As soon as you come up, you want twenty boxes of matches???"

"This sister-in-law, I don't know, you need a ticket to buy matches these days? Does she have that many tickets?"

As soon as Su Nianxi, whose face was dark, finished speaking, Gu Yiyan and Shen Xiaoqi began to complain in their hearts.

"Girl, you—"

"You can't start a fire, so you bought so many matches?"

The attentive women's director, Sister Cao Xiucha, came up to Su Nianxi, took her arm, and asked softly.

"yes--"

"It really made me anxious. I even used up two boxes of matches, but I still couldn't light a fire."

"Back home, I didn't know how to light a fire. To save matches, my family would light the fire for me, and then I would add more firewood to cook."

"So, I have to buy a few more boxes and practice how to make a fire."

Su Nianxi's face was as dark as honeycomb coal, and his black right hand pointed at the opening of the earthen stove. He talked nonsense in a cute and childish manner.

"Why, I knew that was the case."

When Sister-in-law Cao Xiuqin heard this, she replied with great joy.

"Sister-in-law, I can't get more than that. Five boxes, I'll get five boxes for you tomorrow."

Comrade Shen Xiaoqi, who was meticulous and thoughtful, made a prompt decision, patted his chest, and spoke with a voice as powerful as a bell.

Gu Yiyan: "I have five boxes too."

Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan, who was quick-witted and talkative, also echoed this.

Well, although Captain Gu Yiyan is 98% dissatisfied with his sister-in-law Su Nianxi, he feels that she is not worthy of his God of War Brother Lu.

But the matter is done, and Comrade Shen Xiaoqi has made the statement. As Lu Chenting's childhood friend, there is no reason for Gu Yiyan not to express his opinion.

"Sister-in-law, let me teach you. You don't need to buy so many boxes of matches."

"Captain Gu, do you have any matches? Give them to me. I'll teach Sister Su how to make a fire right now."
