The Pentium Era - South to North

Osmanthus used tongs to stir up the charcoal fire in the brazier, then placed the tongs horizontally on the brazier, opened the aluminum lunch boxes one by one from the bamboo basket, and placed them on the tongs to heat.

The first one is filled with soy sauce duck meat and eight-treasure vegetables, the second one is a whole half-pound steamed crucian carp with Jinhua ham slices simmered in the fish belly, and the third one is half braised pork and half sweet and sour. Tenderloin.

Xiao Zhao shouted: "My saliva is drooling."

"Swallow it back." Osmanthus scolded with a smile.

She took out another plastic bag from the basket, which contained lotus leaf buns. When Xiao Zhao saw it, he stretched out his hand to grab one and eat it, but Osmanthus knocked it away with his hand. Osmanthus said, "Eat it when it's hot."

She placed the lid of the aluminum lunch box next to the fire pit and baked the lotus leaf buns in the lid.

Xiao Zhao said coquettishly: "Sister, I'm hungry."

"Bear it!" Osmanthus scolded, "You can eat it even if it's cold, you greedy cat?"

"I'm not a greedy cat, I'm a hungry ghost." Xiao Zhao said.

"Bah, bah, bah!" Osmanthus glared at her, "You're celebrating the New Year, you're not a ghost, I think you've seen ghosts!"

All three laughed.

Guihua finally took out a plastic pot from the basket, which contained zero-copy rice wine. She said to Zhang Chen, "I brought you wine."

Zhang Chen quickly said: "That's great, thank you Sister Guihua."

"I want to drink too." Xiao Zhao shouted.

Guihua found two enamel tea jars for them and put the wine into the tea jars. One pot of wine just filled the two full tea jars. Guihua and Xiao Zhao said, "Let's heat it up together. You drink less."

"No, I want to drink more." Xiao Zhao said.

"Then if you start drinking like crazy in the middle of the night, I can't bear it."

Xiao Zhao chuckled.

Osmanthus put the two teapots next to the brazier. The fire in the brazier was very strong, and the vegetables in the lunch box were hot and steaming in a short time.

Xiao Zhao rubbed his hands, his nose twitched, and shouted: "It smells so good, can I eat it?"

Osmanthus handed her the chopsticks and said, "That's it."

Xiao Zhao and Zhang Chen immediately opened their chopsticks and started eating. Osmanthus told her to eat slowly. She stood up and went to check the ward.

Zhang Chen picked up the wine and took a sip. This was his first sip of wine this year. After one sip of wine, his nose felt sour.

Xiao Zhao didn't notice that the handle of the enamel teapot was a bit hot. With his left hand, Xiao Zhao stretched out the sleeve of his knitted bra on his right hand. Using the cuff of the sweater as a protective pad, he held the handle of the teapot, picked up the wine, and met Zhang Chen explain:

"Come on, cheers!"

The two toasted. Zhang Chen did not dare to look directly at Xiao Zhao, so he could only pretend to do other things.

He moved the already hot dishes to the side, put the two lunch box lids with lotus leaf buns in them, and placed them in the middle of the brazier. After both sides of the lotus leaf buns were a little burnt, he picked up one. Empty the lunch box lid, pick up the lotus leaf bun with chopsticks, put it into the lunch box lid, and hand the lid to Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao took it, holding the lunch box lid with one hand and the lotus leaf bag with the other, took a bite, and exclaimed: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's especially delicious!"

When Zhang Chen put another burnt lotus leaf bun into the lunch box lid in Xiao Zhao's hand, Xiao Zhao had already finished the first one. She giggled and started eating the second one, and continued eating until the third one. When there were four, she shook her head and said, "I can't eat any more. My dear, are you trying to force me to death?"

"You were said to be starving to death before, but now you are starving to death?"

Xiao Zhao stretched out his hand to draw a half circle in front of his face and shouted, "You didn't see, I ate so many vegetables."

"I understand." Xiao Zhao looked at Zhang Chen with wide eyes, "Are you trying to fill me up with this? Do you want to eat a lot of vegetables?"

Zhang Chen said "Oh!" "Why did you discover the conspiracy?"

Xiao Zhao shook his head: "Go, I don't believe it, you don't think so, you are the best to me."

When Zhang Chen heard this, his nose felt sore again, and he almost shed tears. He cursed himself in his heart, "How the hell are you acting like a bitch, crying even when you have a meal."

Zhang Chen finished baking the fifth lotus leaf bun and asked Xiao Zhao: "Do you want more?"

"The last one." Xiao Zhao stretched out a finger and said to Zhang Chen, "I really can only eat the last one."

Xiao Zhao saw that Zhang Chen's tea jar was shallow, so he picked up his own tea jar, filled it up with the wine in it for Zhang Chen, and then filled it up again.

The two of them finished the food and drinks. Xiao Zhao actually didn't drink a few sips of wine, but his face was glowing red. Against the firelight, he looked particularly charming. Zhang Chen really wanted to pick her up and give her a good kiss, but he was worried about Sister Guihua. I'll be back at any time, I held back again.

When Sister Guihua came back, the two of them had already eaten. Sister Guihua asked if it was enough and whether they were full.

Xiao Zhao held up his belly, showed it to Sister Guihua, and shouted: "Sister, look, my belly is big."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Guihua laughed and looked at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen chuckled awkwardly. Only then did Xiao Zhao realize that there was something wrong with what he said and couldn't help but blush.

She quickly put the empty lunch box, teapot and chopsticks into the bamboo basket, picked up the basket and said to them, "I'm going to wash the dishes."

Sister Guihua said, no need to wash it, I will take it back and wash it.

Xiao Zhao refused, so Zhang Chen stood up and said, "I'll help you."

Osmanthus had no choice but to let them do it. She picked up a wooden board with a key hanging on it and said to them: "Then go to the boiler room to wash. There is still hot water in the boiler room."

The so-called boiler room is the one that turns left at the end of the corridor. It is on the first floor under the bathroom and is connected to the old house. Zhang Chen used the key on the wooden board to open the door and go in. There was a small boiler inside. From the small boiler, A faucet is connected, and below is a pool, which is used for boiling water. There is a pile of coal beside it.

Zhang Chen closed the door when he entered. As soon as Xiao Zhao put down the basket in the pool, Zhang Chen hugged her from behind. Xiao Zhao turned around and hugged Zhang Chen too, and the two started kissing. .

Two people came out carrying bamboo baskets, Xiao Zhao walked in front, and Zhang Chen followed. He saw the black stain on Xiao Zhao's down jacket and knew it was from the coal pile just now. He regretted not wearing a military coat. He quickly reached out to pat Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao also realized something and cursed lightly.

Fortunately, the coal was very dry in winter. Zhang Chen patted it away easily with his hands, but because the color of the clothes was too light, black marks were still left.

The two returned to the duty room, and Guihua casually said, "How long did it take you to wash the dishes?"

Xiao Zhao's face turned red instantly. Gui Hua looked at her and then on her body. She understood and smiled. Zhang Chen quickly turned around, not daring to look at them.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep." Xiao Zhao shouted shyly. After he finished shouting, he felt that there was another problem with the words, and his face became even redder, almost dying of embarrassment.

When they came in, Sister Guihua was reading the passenger registration book. When she heard Xiao Zhao call her, she closed the registration book, looked at Xiao Zhao and asked, "You are really going to sleep, why don't you stop warming up by the fire?"

Xiao Zhao hadn't come out of the embarrassment just now, so he quickly said "hmm".

Osmanthus picked up a bunch of keys, stood up, and whispered to them: "Don't say anything, come with me."

After saying that, she walked out. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao followed her, not knowing what they were going to do.

Sister Guihua led them to the second floor. When they reached the stairs, Sister Guihua told them, "You guys will sleep in room 203 tonight. This is the long private room. No one has come yet. It should be empty today. You guys can sleep in it." Bar.

Xiao Zhao and Zhang Chen finally understood and quickly said thank you to Sister Guihua!

Osmanthus walked to the door of 203, opened the door, reached out and turned on the switch beside the door. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao saw that there were two beds side by side inside, with a table and a chair in the middle of the two beds. Under the window of the corridor outside, there is another table and a chair. The furnishings of the room are very simple, but very clean and tidy.

More importantly, Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao felt that they had not lived in the room for a long time, and every room looked friendly.

Sister Guihua said to them: "You can sleep peacefully, I will call you tomorrow morning."

Zhang Chen quickly said, thank you Sister Guihua!

Guihua turned around and went out. Xiao Zhao walked her to the door. Guihua stopped. She lay next to Xiao Zhao's ear and teased her with what Xiao Zhao had said before: "Be careful, don't get pregnant."

Xiao Zhao's face turned red with embarrassment, and he shouted angrily: "Oh, sister!"

Sister Guihua smiled happily and walked out. Xiao Zhao hugged her and said to Zhang Chen without looking back, "I'll go down and talk to sister."

The two women hugged each other and went downstairs. Zhang Chen walked over and closed the door. He walked back and sat down on the bed. He couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The bed was actually covered with soft spring mattresses. Zhang Chen fell down. He felt that he had not slept on such a comfortable and dignified bed for a long time.
