My little country wife whom I haven't seen for eight years has come to join the army

Daya stood in the main hall like a well-behaved kitten, very tactfully, and said softly towards the bedroom, "Auntie, today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and my mother asked me to bring you mooncakes. I've put them on the table, and you and Uncle Lu must remember to enjoy them."

At this time, the two had already straightened their clothes, but walked out with expressions that were as unnatural as eggplants hit by frost. "Where did you get these mooncakes?"

You know, mooncakes are a rare commodity in this era. Even during festivals, they are still an unattainable luxury for ordinary people.

Daya finally had something to brag about: "My mother made this herself. It's fragrant and sweet. I'm sure Auntie will like it."

Zhou Ruoyu smiled, picked up the mooncake, broke off a piece and put it in her mouth. It tasted really good.

Mooncake fillings require a wide variety of ingredients, and even the crust requires oil and flour, so housewives generally don’t dare to try such a complicated operation.

"Your mother is really great. I can't do that. I can't make it." Zhou Ruoyu really admired her. She didn't know how to make mooncakes.

Daya straightened her back, raised her little face, and looked proud and complacent: "Of course...but my aunt is also very good, she can cook a lot of dishes."

Lu Qinchuan walked up to her and pinched her face: "Why do I ask you to come and send her off? Where is your father?"

"Dad went to buy some meat. Today is a holiday, and he said he'd stew some big bones for us to eat."

After all, she was just a child. When she said this, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Seeing her like this, Lu Xiaohua smiled and tapped her forehead: "What a little greedy boy!"

The two of them had come into contact so often that they were no longer different from each other. Daya pushed Lu Xiaohua's hand away and said in a serious tone, "I'm not greedy. My dad wants to buy it for everyone."

"How many meat coupons does that require? Is your family rich?" Lu Xiaohua shook her head noncommittally, obviously not believing what the child said.

Daya pursed her lips and imitated the adults: "Uncle and aunt may not know yet, but there is someone selling meat in the cafeteria today. No meat ticket is needed, just money."

Hey, Zhou Ruoyu became interested, took Daya's shoulders and said with a smile: "Who told your parents? Why didn't anyone tell your aunt? That's so mean."

Daya thought for a moment and said, "Mom and Dad didn't want me to tell Auntie. Dad said he'll treat us today."

Zhou Ruoyu secretly despised Captain Zhu in her heart. The money to buy meat was earned by Zhou Shufen and her together making sewing clothes, but he was generous and wanted to treat them.

However, seeing their family living in harmony, her heart felt sweeter than eating honey.

Lu Xiaohua felt a little sad. It was already past nine o'clock, and it was Mid-Autumn Festival, but Lai Yunlong hadn't come to pick her up. Holding Daya's hand, she pretended to go to the cafeteria to watch the fun, but in reality, she secretly glanced at the road leading to the compound several times. Whenever she heard the bicycle bell, she couldn't help but look back, but by noon, her brother Yunlong still hadn't appeared.

Captain Zhu came back with the cut bones. As he passed by the Lu family's yard, he raised the bones in his hand and said loudly, "Old Lu, come over and eat later. I've brought some for you."

Lu Qinchuan leaned against the door and looked at him with a smile: "Okay, we'll pack up and go over right away. I'm just worried that you bought too little."

Zhou Ruoyu felt sorry for Zhou Shufen's pregnancy, so she went to help in advance. When she looked over Lu Xiaohua's shoulder, she said calmly, "You can either wait here for your brother Yunlong or go over and help. It's your choice."

Having her thoughts seen through, Lu Xiaohua felt bitter in her heart, but she said stubbornly, "I wasn't waiting for him. I was thinking of going over to help."

Then he went into the kitchen, got an apron, and walked out.

Zhou Ruoyu looked at Lu Qinchuan and shrugged. "If a woman is completely devoted, it will only make men look down on her. Lai Yunlong is probably waiting for your sister to go back on her own."

Lu Qinchuan caught up with her in two steps and whispered, "He is him, and I am me. If you follow me wholeheartedly, I will give you my whole heart."

"Oh, Captain Lu, you can talk about love without blushing or beating your heart. If another woman is devoted to you in the future, will you also give your heart to her?"

Zhou Ruoyu squinted her eyes and teased him with a half-smile.

He grabbed her wrist and said, "Now take my heart away. It's all yours, all yours..."

"Go to hell! Hehehe..."

The two of them came to the Zhu family yard while playing and joking.

In the yard, Captain Zhu was holding a shiny kitchen knife and working on the meat bones on the chopping board, with beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.

Zhou Shufen was munching on sunflower seeds, but that didn't stop her from rambling. "Why don't you just ask the breeder to sort it for you? You've already spent the money, and you still have to go through the trouble of doing it yourself. Do you know what this means?"

Captain Zhu wiped his sweat and took the opportunity to ask her, "What's your name?"

"I'm just asking you to take off your pants to fart, but you have to do it twice!"

The two children were so amused that they fell backwards, and Lu Xiaohua's depression was also relieved a little by her words.

Just then, Zhou Ruoyu and Lu Qinchuan walked in one after the other. Zhou Ruoyu asked with a smile, "Why is it so lively? What did I miss?"

As soon as Zhou Shufen saw Zhou Ruoyu, she immediately smiled and told him in detail the story of Captain Zhu taking off his pants and farting.

"Breedkeeper?" Zhou Ruoyu was puzzled. "Shouldn't the one who kills pigs and sells meat be a butcher? Why is he a breeder?"

Zhou Shufen stuffed a handful of melon seeds into her hand and said with a smile, "The regiment has its own pig farm. During the New Year and other festivals, the breeders slaughter the pigs and send them to the canteen. This year, as an exception, we can buy them without meat coupons. We have to thank Regimental Commander Lu."

Lu Qinchuan smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not aware of this. These are all arranged by the logistics department, but anything that can make things convenient for everyone is a good thing."

When talking about the regiment's breeding farm, Zhou Ruoyu frowned slightly.

If nothing has changed, there should be old acquaintances of theirs in that farm.

"So the breeding farm and the cafeteria are together?" Zhou Ruoyu muttered to herself thoughtfully.

Captain Zhu wiped his sweat again and said, "Yes, the cooks and the breeders are inseparable. You don't go to the canteen to get food very often, so you don't know much about it. The cooks in the canteen also often have to feed the pigs."

"Oh, being a cook is so nice. Who would be willing to feed pigs?" Zhou Ruoyu asked casually.

Zhou Shufen's hand was empty of sunflower seeds, and her mouth felt empty. "Then you're wrong. I heard something interesting when I went to the cafeteria yesterday. The cook who made the best food, Qian Hu, has been going to the pig farm a lot lately, causing the cafeteria's food to plummet again."

Haha, that’s interesting.

It's said that women are born to gossip, and Zhou Ruoyu is no exception. However, her gossip has a specific purpose: she only wants to know the gossip about her old acquaintance, Tan Ying.
