Reborn as a widow in the 70s

The man was very efficient in his work. During his Sunday break, he brought five or six little soldiers to work at home.

Coupled with the battalion commander Qian next door, the work battle is really quite big.

Lu Aiguo arranged for three people to barricade the toilet and let Battalion Commander Qian take charge of supervision and command. He and two young soldiers began to smash the walls in the house.

He found the door from the logistics department. It was an ordinary wooden door and it looked quite new.

The men were working loudly, and Zhao Xuewen and Qian Dasheng were running back and forth like two young men.

Qian Cuicui and Yaya took Qian Dali to play next door.

Song Xiuxiu and Wang Guilan were busy cooking in the kitchen.

It was Lu Aiguo's suggestion that Wang Guilan come over to help with the cooking today.

Although Song Xiuxiu no longer had pregnancy symptoms and seemed to be in good spirits, she was not yet three months old and was cooking for so many people. The man was afraid that she would be tired, so he suggested that Wang Guilan from next door come over to help.

Wang Guilan is an enthusiastic person. When she heard that she would help with cooking, she readily agreed.

Someone helped, and Song Xiuxiu felt a lot more relaxed.

"I heard that winter vegetables will arrive from the service company tomorrow. How much do you plan to stock up on?" Wang Guilan asked while cutting vegetables.

Song Xiuxiu thought for a while and said: "When I was in my hometown, two to three hundred kilograms of cabbage per winter was enough. I plan to stock up on three hundred kilograms of cabbage and some radishes and potatoes."

Wang Guilan: "Listen to my sister-in-law, don't compare this place with your hometown."

"Do you wear cotton-padded jackets now in your hometown?"

Song Xiuxiu shook her head: "That's not true!"

Wang Guilan: "Winter in other places lasts only four months, but here it can last up to half a year."

Upon hearing this, Song Xiuxiu hurriedly asked: "Sister-in-law, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Wang Guilan: "My family grows [-] kilograms of cabbage, [-] kilograms of radish, potatoes, sweet potatoes and green onions every year, which is enough for basically one winter."

Song Xiuxiu began to murmur in her heart, might this be too much?

Wang Guilan saw her doubts and said, "In the first year I came here, I also felt that every household's stocking was too exaggerated. I didn't stock that much. As a result, before the New Year was over, there wasn't enough food. There was no way. We could only buy food at the service shop. The food at that time was not only expensive, but also leftovers from other people’s picks. The worst part was that it snowed heavily and the roads outside were closed. There was no food at the service shop or at home, so our whole family had to eat together. Pickle pimples for a week.”

"I learned a painful lesson that time!"

Hearing this, Song Xiuxiu said decisively: "Then our family also has so many."

Song Xiuxiu thought about it. Although she and Yaya didn't eat much, the two men, one big and one small, had big appetites, so they had to stock up on enough grain and vegetables.

There is strength in numbers, and within one day the door was installed and the toilet was built.

Lu Aiguo cleaned the dust in the bedroom, while Song Xiuxiu took out all the bedding that had been put away.

"Tomorrow the first batch of winter vegetables will arrive from the service club. You tell me how much to buy and I will arrange it. There will definitely be a lot of people tomorrow, so don't squeeze you!"

Lu Aiguo said while working.

Song Xiuxiu: "Okay, I'll write you a note later!"

"By the way, take the time to clean out the sauerkraut jar in the kitchen. Sister-in-law Guilan said she would teach me how to pickle sauerkraut in the next two days!"

Lu Aiguo: "Okay!"

Early the next morning, Lu Aiguo went out with the note written by his wife.

After breakfast, the two children also went to school with Qian Dasheng and Qian Cuicui next door.

Song Xiuxiu was the only one left at home. She opened the textbook and did the exercises above as usual.

Just when she was concentrating on her studies, Wang Guilan came over with her child in her arms.

"Sister Xiuxiu, why don't you know how to be anxious? The big truck delivering food will be here soon!"

Song Xiuxiu welcomed her in and said, "Sister-in-law, my Aiguo said that I don't have to worry about grocery shopping, he will arrange it!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Guilan couldn't help but envy: "Big sister, you have a good life! Unlike the one in my family, he is just a hands-off shopkeeper. Not to mention being pregnant, even during the confinement period, the most he does is go to the cafeteria to eat. , I didn’t worry about anything else!”

Song Xiuxiu said with a smile: "It's not because of your ability, sister-in-law, that Brother Qian is so relieved to leave the house to you. Unlike me who is clumsy and has to worry about the family affairs!"

Originally feeling quite depressed, after hearing Song Xiuxiu's words, Wang Guilan immediately smiled and said, "I just live to work. If I don't worry about it, I won't be able to do anything! Pointing at you, Brother Qian, then our whole family will have to drink Northwest Let the wind go!”

After chatting for a while, Wang Guilan handed Qian Dali to Song Xiuxiu and asked her to take a look at it, then went to the service center to buy vegetables.

Qian Dali was already over a year old, and he was usually very obedient. It was not troublesome to see him, so Song Xiuxiu readily agreed.

After Wang Guilan left, Song Xiuxiu took out a biscuit for Qian Dali to eat. The little guy ate the biscuit obediently and sat on a chair nearby without crying.

Seeing how obedient he was, Song Xiuxiu continued reading.

It was almost noon, when Song Xiuxiu saw that Wang Guilan hadn't come back yet, she took Qian Dali to the kitchen and started cooking.

The little guy was already walking very steadily. He followed her with a bang. Song Xiuxiu handed him a fire stick. The little guy took the stick and poked it around in the unlit stove. From time to time, he raised his head and looked at Song Xiuxiu. Laugh a few times.

Until lunch was ready, Wang Guilan hadn't come back yet.

Qian Dali probably missed his mother and started crying.

Song Xiuxiu wanted to pick him up and coax him, but she didn't dare to hold him because she was a pregnant woman. She could only bring out toys and snacks to coax him, but with little effect.

Just when she was at a loss, Zhao Xuewen came back from school.

After hearing his aunt explain the cause and effect of the matter, Zhao Xuewen was about to run to the service agency to find Wang Guilan.

"Xuewen, don't go. You can watch Italy for a while. I'll go!" After saying that, he ran out of the courtyard.

When she arrived at the door of the service club, Song Xiuxiu finally understood why Wang Guilan had been unable to go back.

I saw two large trucks surrounded by people packed with people, chattering and picking and choosing.

There were many people at the weighing place, and they were all weighing basket after basket.

Song Xiuxiu felt that this was not buying food at all, this was clearly grabbing food!

Wang Guilan was guarding a large pile of radishes and cabbages and was settling accounts with the salesperson at the service agency.

Song Xiuxiu hurriedly walked over and said, "Sister-in-law, Dali is starting to be disobedient. Have you finished here?"

Upon hearing that the child was disobedient, Wang Guilan quickly said: "Okay, okay, I'll be fine soon!"

After giving the money, Wang Guilan asked Song Xiuxiu to help look at the dishes, and then hurried back.

But Song Xiuxiu didn't wait long, Qian Dasheng came over soon.

"Auntie, please go back. I'll just watch. My mother will find a flatbed truck to take the vegetables back later!"

Seeing Qian Dasheng coming, Song Xiuxiu said a few words and went home.

"You're not allowed to come here! There are so many people here so don't run into you!" Lu Aiguo said worriedly behind Song Xiuxiu.

Seeing that it was him, Song Xiuxiu explained as she walked: "I'm here to see Sister-in-law Guilan. Don't worry, I've been in a place with few people and I didn't dare to come forward."

Hearing his wife say this, the man was relieved of his worried heart!
