Traveling through the 1970s

Chapter 133 Return to the Army

Han Yunya did not stay in the space for long. She just took a hot bath and came out quickly.

It's the end of October now and the weather is a bit cold. It looks like it has snowed here.

When Gu Jiangzhou came back, he told Han Yunya that the army car would come to pick them up later in the afternoon, and that Aunt Liu Ying would go over to the house in the afternoon to help heat the kang.

"Xiao Xiao, do you have anything else to buy in town?"

He shook his head and said softly, "My mother and my sister have brought me everything I need. There is nothing else I need to buy."

Gu Jiangzhou thought of how his mother-in-law and aunt were afraid that Xiao Xiao would be wronged, and they wanted to give her all the good things in the house.

They took a lot of food and daily necessities, including air-dried chicken, smoked rabbit, and dried fish, which filled a whole large cloth bag. They also took two large bags of winter clothes and cotton shoes for a small person, all of which were brand new.

In the afternoon, Xiao Lin drove to pick them up, and the car was full of things, which made Lin Xiaoxi's eyes widen.

After being given a cold glare by his own battalion commander, Lin Xiaoxi quickly turned around, got into the car, and drove to the troops.

It was already dark when they returned to the army. Xiaolin helped move all the things into the house and was about to go back.

Han Yunya smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, thank you for today."

"Sister-in-law, you're too polite."

"When we have time, let your battalion commander treat you to a meal."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." When Xiao Lin heard that the battalion commander invited him to dinner, his eyes lit up. He really missed the food cooked by his sister-in-law.

Now my sister-in-law’s cooking is delicious and it has spread throughout the camp. Many people want to try her cooking.

After Xiaolin left, the two began to pack up.

The room was not cold at all, the kang was warm, and there was a large jar of sauerkraut and a jar of pickled vegetables in the kitchen. In the corner there was half a bag of potatoes, a dozen cabbages, a large basket of radishes, and a bag of sweet potatoes next to it.

“Jiangzhou, who in the kitchen helped us store the sauerkraut and pickle the pickles?”

Han Yunya clearly remembered that these things were definitely not there when they left.

"Before I went back, I gave the key to my house to Aunt Liu from Uncle Qian's family. Aunt Liu prepared all this for us."

Because I knew Xiaoxiao would come back with me, I called her and asked Aunt Liu to help me prepare food for the winter.

"Then we have to thank Aunt Liu very much. Let's give some of the dry goods we brought to each family tomorrow."

At this point, Han Yunya thought of her sister teaching her how to interact with people, and she couldn't help laughing. But she did need to send some local specialties to each family, and she also needed to treat those people who had a good relationship with Gu Jiangzhou to a meal.

When she just came back, Han Yunya found that their family’s firewood shed was filled with firewood, and there were also a lot of coal blocks stored in the coal room.

"Okay, I'll send it over tomorrow."

Gu Jiangzhou nodded in agreement. He did have to thank Uncle Yang and Uncle Qian and the others, and he also had to send something to the team leader. As for Dong Dashan and the others, he would just have to treat them to a meal and some drinks when the time came.

"Go clean up. I'll make some noodles."

Han Yunya rolled up her sleeves and prepared to cook some noodles to have for the evening.

"You should go back to the house and clean up. I'll make the noodles."

Gu Jiangzhou pushed his young wife back to the bedroom, rolled up his sleeves, put on an apron, and started cooking dinner.

Looking at the clean house, Han Yunya knew that it was Aunt Liu who helped to clean it and also helped to heat the kang. She also found that the quilt on the kang had been dried in the sun.

Aunt Liu is really thoughtful.

I put all the clothes I brought into the closet, put the backpack containing valuables in the closet and locked it, and put the dry goods I brought aside, ready to divide them up tomorrow and give them away.

"Eat your meal, and then we'll do it after dinner."

"Okay, I've almost finished packing." He said as he washed his hands and prepared to eat.

The noodles taste so delicious with the spicy meat sauce made by my sister!

"Jiangzhou, the spicy meat sauce made by my sister is so delicious!" When she came back, her sister brought a full small red jar, which weighed several kilograms.

My sister also thoughtfully gave me a dozen cans of spicy meat sauce, telling me that she was asking me to do her a favor.

"Eat more if you like. By the way, I put the jars I brought for you in the kitchen cabinet."

"Hey, I get it."

Han Yunya ate the noodles happily, picked out the egg under the noodles, and gave one to Gu Jiangzhou.

Gu Jiangzhou smiled and started eating with big mouthfuls.

After the meal, Gu Jiangzhou was the one who washed the dishes and didn't let Han Yunya get involved.

The two of them worked for more than an hour before they sorted out all the things they had brought back and sorted out the things that were to be given away.

Lying on the kang, Gu Jiangzhou looked at the simple room and always felt that Xiaoxiao was really wronged by following him to the army.

Not to mention the small house in the county, even the small room in the village is more comfortable and tidier than the rooms of many female comrades in large compounds, which shows how much the Han family loves Xiaoxiao.

Love is not just expressed in words, but is reflected in every detail of daily life. Although the Han family is not as well off as many city people, they are trying their best to give Xiaoxiao the best.

My father-in-law and his family hold Xiaoxiao in their hands and don't let her suffer any grievances. They are afraid that they can't take good care of Xiaoxiao, so they prepare all the food and daily necessities for her. Even if she joins the army, Xiaoxiao will not suffer any grievances in food and clothing. They really have good intentions.

"Xiaoxiao, when you get along with the military wives in the family compound, get along with them if you can, but don't force yourself if you can't."

"I know." She moved towards Jiangzhou's arms out of habit, found the most comfortable position, and nestled into it.

"Jiangzhou, do you have another day off tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have to go to the hospital for a follow-up check tomorrow, and then I will be back on leave."

"Then I'll go with you!"

"it is good."

Patting his young wife's back, he said, "Go to sleep!"

After a tiring day, I hugged my soft wife and fell asleep quickly.

In the morning, Gu Jiangzhou delivered the local specialties that Han Yunya had divided to each household.

Captain Gao saw Gu Jiangzhou and said with a smile: "You are back."

"I just came back yesterday and got some meat sauce from my wife's house. Gao Tuan, take it back and try it."

The package contained a dried chicken, a pound of dried mushrooms, and a can of spicy meat sauce.

"Jiangzhou, I haven't congratulated you yet." Gao Qiang said with a smile.

This kid has strong abilities and a good background, so he is not afraid of having his military merits snatched away by others. Moreover, with his own military merits, he would have been promoted long ago if someone hadn't suppressed him.

Gu Jiang was stunned for a moment, thinking that Gao Tuan was congratulating him on returning to his hometown to hold his wedding, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

"Gao Tuan, I'll go back first."

"Go!"

Gao Qiang smiled and said, it seems that Gu Jiangzhou doesn’t know that he has been promoted to team leader.
