Marrying Leng Libing Wang and having four children, traveling back to the 70s

After Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan and Orderly Soldier Shen Xiaoqi left.

Sister-in-law Cao Xiuchai, looking at Su Nianxi's face, which was as black as charcoal, couldn't help but wonder, feeling that there was something wrong with her skin tone, and an indescribable strangeness about it, like the moon hidden by dark clouds, hazy and elusive. So, she said to Su Nianxi with a smile on her face.

"whee--"

"Is your face very dark?"

"Hee, it's okay, Sister Cao. I'll get rubbed again later anyway—"

"Later, I'll boil some water and we can take a hot bath together."

After hearing this, Su Nianxi blinked her watery eyes and replied with a natural and unpretentious smile.

"That's fine—"

Sister-in-law Cao Weichai thought about it, agreed with it, and replied promptly.

"Come here, sister. I'll teach you how to make a fire."

I saw sister-in-law Cao Xiuchai and Su Nianxi walking out of the kitchen at a rapid pace.

Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan and serviceman Shen Xiaoqi on their way back to the troops.

Orderly soldier Shen Xiaoqi said, "Captain Gu, from what I see, Deputy Commander Lu's wife, apart from being dark-skinned, doesn't look like a country girl in any other way—"

Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan: "Well, I was thinking about that too. The way your Deputy Commander Lu's wife speaks and behaves doesn't seem like she comes from the countryside—"

Orderly Shen Xiaoqi: "For example, when she speaks, she's very…"

Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan: "What???"

Orderly soldier Shen Xiaoqi said: "My sister-in-law has a very nice voice. Very nice. Why, it's just that, it's just that, it's just like White Rabbit candy, the kind that's super sweet."

Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan: "..."

Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan: "No more?"

Orderly soldier Shen Xiaoqi: "It's gone——"

Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan: "Go to hell, he only knows White Rabbit food——"

Well, I couldn't explain it myself. Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan came over like a gust of wind and kicked Comrade Shen Xiaoqi, who couldn't express himself well, on the back of his round buttocks, leaving a snow mark like a stamp.

Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan has always been sensitive and meticulous. He started paying attention the moment he heard Su Nianxi's fierce howling. He just couldn't describe the feeling.

……

"Sister Nianxi, these are the firewood made of fine leaves and twigs for making fire."

"This is the kind of wood you need to make a fire."

Sister Cao Xiucha, a housewife, just came out of the hall to the kitchen when she noticed a pile of thin firewood under the eaves of the kitchen.

At this moment, she nimbly picked up a bundle of firewood with thin leaves and twigs and walked into the kitchen, while explaining to the cute Su Nianxi.

Although Su Nianxi was an orphan in the 21st century, he was also an orphan in the city. He had never come into contact with an earthen stove, let alone making a fire. He really knew nothing about it.

Besides, damn, this matter of making fire seemed to have a grudge against her, Su Nianxi. No matter how she tried, she couldn't figure it out. She was a complete idiot.

"Sister Nianxi, listen carefully. First, put these tiny leaves into the earthen stove."

"And then just light these little leaves first."

"Wait until they're lit, and there's almost no smoke left, then put these little branches in and place them over the burning leaves."

"Remember not to add too many twigs at once, add them gradually, a little at a time."

"Once the thin branches are all lit, you can add one or two thicker pieces of firewood at a time. By doing this over and over again, you will gradually add larger pieces of firewood and make the fire burn more vigorously."

"Don't forget, when the time is almost up, you can use the fire tongs to poke the ashes at the bottom of the fire. The ashes will fall to the next layer, to the stove mouth where ash is dropped."

"This will give the fire in the upper stove more ventilation and make it burn more vigorously."

"If you want the fire in the stove to burn brighter, you can close the upper stove door."

"When this is closed, the fire in the stove will burn fiercely."

"..."

I saw Sister Cao Xiucha standing slowly by the earthen stove, holding the tools and materials needed to make a fire in her hands, and began to explain step by step to Su Nianxi carefully.

Every movement she made seemed so skillful and natural, like a magician.

On the other hand, Su Nianxi, who was standing aside, was like a good and obedient student. She stared at Sister-in-law Cao Xiuchai without blinking, listening attentively to every word. Even her breathing became cautious, for fear that she would accidentally miss a key step.

It’s strange to say, because Comrade Su Nianxi is a 21st century female medical doctor!

She is usually smart and can learn anything quickly.

But when it came to this seemingly simple matter of making a fire, her brain seemed to have completely shut down. No matter how hard she tried to think, she could not understand the mystery behind it.

"Every profession has its own specialty—"

"Don't underestimate the great working peasants!!!"

"Tsk, everything requires skill, even making a fire. It's really mysterious and a profound subject!"

Su Nianxi, a naive girl who traveled from the 21st century, couldn't help but exclaim in her heart after listening to the explanation of Cao Xiucha's sister-in-law.

……

"Look, that's it—"

Look, after using up nearly a box of matches, Su Nianxi finally succeeded in starting a fire.

Sister-in-law Cao Xiuchai, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead and a trembling heart that was almost unable to bear it, gritted her teeth and said proudly.

Well, after being taught by sister-in-law Cao Xiuchai again and again, with a friendly and patient attitude, Su Nianxi finally succeeded in learning the so-called method of making fire, as if it had been enlightened.

"Oh, right--"

"Sister Nianxi, don't forget to add firewood to the kang."

The enthusiastic sister-in-law Cao Xiucha suddenly asked Su Nianxi something.

"Wow, what a mess! How could I remember——"

"I don't even know where the hole for adding firewood to the kang is."

Su Nianxi stood there facing Mrs. Cao with an embarrassed look on her face, secretly complaining in her heart.

"Mrs. Cao, I'm from the south. Where can I add firewood to the kang? I really don't know—"

Su Nianxi spoke the truth to sister-in-law Cao Xiucha like a good baby.

"Hey, look at me. I can tell from your voice that you're not from the north, yet you're still so ignorant."

"Come, follow me. I'll show you the hole and teach you how to add firewood."

……

Under the careful instruction of the fiery and enthusiastic sister-in-law Cao Xiucha, Su Nianxi successfully learned another life skill - adding firewood to the kang.
