The reborn peasant girl wants to turn over

Chapter 262 Gossip
Zhou Shaojie got up early the next morning, hearing the sound of Zhou Shaojie getting up, Xiuxiu struggled to get up and make him breakfast, Zhou Shaojie pressed her into the bed.

"It's so cold, you sleep a little longer, and I'll go to the army cafeteria for dinner."

Xiuxiu said: "Didn't you say that the food in the cafeteria is not good?"

Zhou Shaojie then said: "Look at you like this, let's sleep a little longer, it's hard work to get up now."

Xiuxiu couldn't help laughing, and she was completely awake, "It's hard work, I usually get up early, and I blamed you last night, otherwise I would have woken up earlier."

Zhou Shaojie tightly covered her quilt, and said with a smile: "Forget about today, you can go back to sleep and talk about it later."

Seeing Zhou Shaojie's insistence, Xiuxiu was also afraid that he would be late, so she had to agree, thinking that she must get up early to make breakfast for him tomorrow.

After Zhou Shaojie left, Xiuxiu lay down for a while, then couldn't stay still, got up to wash and cook.

She cooked a small pot of millet porridge and fried two slices of scallion pancakes. She ate alone but had no appetite. She thought that she would have to get up early tomorrow. She was used to eating with Zhou Shaojie, so eating alone would be meaningless.

After eating and tidying up, she took out the paper and pen to write calligraphy. It's been a long time since she wrote, and she didn't want to be unfamiliar.

After writing two sheets, she heard someone knocking on the door. Xiuxiu put down her pen and came out of the study. After opening the door, she found that it was Mrs. Zhao who was at the opposite door.

Sister-in-law Zhao pulled a little boy and said with a smile, "Come here to chat with you, are you busy?"

Xiuxiu let her in with a smile, and said, "It's not busy, come in and sit down, I'm bored by myself."

Sister-in-law Zhao came in with the child, and said, "No, it's okay if there is a child. If there is no child, the man has gone to the army. We women should not be idle at home. This is my son, Zhao Ray, five years old."

Xiuxiu smiled, and asked politely, "Do you drink water? Shall I pour you a glass of water?"

Sister-in-law Zhao pulled her and said, "Don't be polite to me. Sit down and let's have a good talk. You just came here. You must be blind to this place and don't know anything."

As soon as Xiuxiu heard this, she knew what Sister-in-law Zhao was doing suddenly. She wanted to introduce the situation in the family area to her, so Xiuxiu sat down with a smile on her face.

"No, I heard from Shaojie that this family area has only been built not long ago, but after looking at it yesterday, it seems that there are quite a lot of people."

Sister-in-law Zhao said: "Well, basically everyone who can join the army has come. There are people from all over the world. If there are too many people, there will be conflicts. The most powerful person in our family area is your downstairs Tan. The daughter-in-law of the deputy battalion commander has been here for two months and has had three fights, so if you meet her in the future, you have to be careful."

Xiuxiu opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Ah, no one cares? Does Deputy Battalion Commander Tan care about her?" She thought it must be the woman who disliked her family's meat last night and didn't give it upstairs or downstairs.

Sister-in-law Zhao curled her lips and said: "Deputy Battalion Commander Tan is an honest man, how can he control his wife? I heard that Deputy Battalion Commander Tan's family is poor, and Deputy Battalion Commander Tan sends 20 yuan to his family every month. About this matter, his wife will fight with him every month when the money is distributed, and the fight can be heard up and down the whole family upstairs."

Xiuxiu sighed a few words, and then asked: "Is everyone else in the family courtyard okay?"

Sister-in-law Zhao said: "Well, most of them are pretty good. By the way, Bai Yun, the lover of the second battalion commander in Building No. [-] next door, is very talkative. She can find out even a little bit of things about other people's homes. What's the matter?" As long as she finds out about it, the whole compound will know about it, this person is good-natured and generous, but his love for breaking his mouth is really a headache."

After hearing this, Xiuxiu thought to herself that if she meets Baiyun in the future, she should be careful not to be tricked by her.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mrs. Zhao's son, Zhao Lei, sitting quietly behind Mrs. Zhao, staring straight at a piece of candy paper, full of longing, but still motionless. Sitting, she looks very well-behaved, reminding her of Bai Xiaocao's son Mao Mao.

Xiuxiu thought that Zhao Lei's behavior must be due to the fact that Commander Zhao and Sister-in-law Zhao had educated her son well in the past, and her impression of Sister-in-law Zhao also increased a few favorability points in her heart, so she smiled and said, "Zhao Lei is really good!" .”

Zhao's sister-in-law had a smile on her face when Xiuxiu praised her son, and said, "That's all for this kid."

"You wait for me."

Xiuxiu got up and went into the kitchen to get a handful of sugar. All the food at home was stored in the kitchen. After thinking about it, she took out three more apples, washed them and put them on the plate. Ding Qingwen cleaned up the apples and sugar for them. Brought it from Jiangtian City, she came out of the kitchen with a plate of apples in one hand and a handful of sugar in the other.

"Come on, Zhao Lei, eat candy and apples."

Sister-in-law Zhao saw it, and quickly stood up and refused: "Look what are you doing so politely, don't give it to him, it's a pity to waste it."

Xiuxiu pushed Sister-in-law Zhao away with one hand, and said with a smile: "It's a waste for Zhao Lei to eat, don't be polite to me, sit down quickly, we live at the opposite door, if I have anything to trouble you in the future, According to what you said, I dare not look for you."

Xiuxiu handed the candy to Zhao Lei, Zhao Lei raised his white and tender face to look at Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao nodded in agreement, and he stretched out his hand to take it, "Thank you, Auntie."

Xiuxiu couldn't help but patted Zhao Lei's head, and praised: "You're welcome, Zhao Lei is really polite."

Zhao Lei was a little embarrassed by the praise, and lowered his head shyly.

Xiuxiu laughed. She took an apple and stuffed it into Sister-in-law Zhao's hand, saying, "Sister-in-law, let's talk while eating."

Sister-in-law Zhao refused again before accepting it.

Xiuxiu asked: "Sister-in-law, where do you usually buy vegetables?"

Sister-in-law Zhao said: "There is a service agency outside the family area. You can buy some daily necessities, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. there, which is very convenient. If you want to buy vegetables, there are shops in the nearby village every morning. It is convenient and cheap for the villagers to carry their burdens to sell. There is also a shuttle bus to the county every week, and you can take the shuttle bus to buy things in the county.”

Xiuxiu thought it was very convenient, and she asked again: "It's so cold now, are there any villagers coming to sell vegetables? What kind of vegetables are there?" She was still worrying about the ingredients for the dinner tomorrow night.

Sister-in-law Zhao said: "These villagers have become more flexible over the past few years. Some have built plastic greenhouses, and they have vegetables even in winter, but there are not many dishes, just a few. In winter, many villagers took eggs and roosters. to sell, or some people grow more Chinese cabbage in winter, and they will even out some to sell.”

As soon as Xiuxiu heard that there were vegetables, she immediately wanted to try them. She asked, "Are they still there?"

Sister-in-law Zhao looked at the sun outside and said, "Maybe they're not here, they usually come at eight o'clock, because this is also a military area anyway, so the logistics only give everyone one hour a day to buy and sell vegetables. "

After hearing this, Xiuxiu felt a little regretful, so she had to go tomorrow.She said: "Thank you, thanks to you, otherwise I would have to worry about my daily meals."

Sister-in-law Zhao said with a smile: "Thank you, you will know these things after staying for a few days."

After sitting for a while, sister-in-law Zhao took her son Zhao Lei to leave. After a while, sister-in-law Zhao brought over a large bowl of bean sprouts, saying that she made it herself, so Xiuxiu must pick it up.

At noon, Zhou Shaojie came back in a hurry, and Xiuxiu made a stew with pork, tofu, potatoes, vermicelli and cabbage.

Xiuxiu asked him, "How is today?"

Zhou Shaojie also asked at the same time: "Is it okay to be alone at home?"

The two laughed at the same time, and replied at the same time: "Very good."

Xiuxiu said: "Sister-in-law Zhao from the opposite door came over today and told me a lot about things here. I think sister-in-law Zhao is not bad."

Zhou Shaojie raised his eyebrows, and said: "Battalion Commander Zhao is not bad, if you want to deal with Mrs. Zhao more, if you don't like it, just ignore her."
