1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 39 Reprimand
Chapter 39

"Xiao Qin, what are you doing?"

Chen Hongxia came over and saw Qin Haonan picking up a nailed wooden box. She asked curiously, "A wooden box like this doesn't seem to be used to store things."

"Sister-in-law, I was thinking that the kang in our west room is idle anyway, and I want to eat cucumbers. I wonder if it will grow well if I plant them in a box and put them on the kang in the west room?"

Gu Qingwu replied with a smile, and Qin Haonan smiled and nodded to Chen Hongxia as a greeting. Chen Hongxia didn't pay any attention to Qin Haonan, she was very interested in what Gu Qingwu said.

"Growing vegetables?"

Is it possible in the middle of winter?

This was the only thought that flashed through Chen Hongxia's mind.

"May I?"

She finally asked.

Gu Qingwu smiled.

"Sister-in-law, even if cucumbers can't be grown, leeks and Chinese cabbage can definitely be grown."

Gu Qingwu smiled and said, "It's just that you need to be more careful when growing vegetables."

The temperature and other things must be controlled well, otherwise the vegetables will either not grow or freeze to death.

"Yes, I will ask my husband to make me some wooden boxes when I get home."

Chen Hongxia was also tempted. In the middle of winter, it would be a happy thing to have some green pickled vegetables. It would be even happier if she could eat some leek-stuffed dumplings on New Year's Eve.

When Gu Qingwu heard what Chen Hongxia said, she smiled and nodded.

"Oh, I forgot. I came to you today to ask if you want to go to the county town so we can buy some meat."

Chen Hongxia took a look at the sky outside and asked. When Gu Qingwu heard about buying meat, she immediately became alert. She had pickled their family's roe deer with salt and planned to keep it for later consumption.

Qin Haonan trains every day, and if he doesn't have meat to replenish his body, his body simply can't bear it.

"go."

Gu Qingwu immediately perked up. Her roe deer meat was fine for making dumplings, but if it was stewed, who knows how much trouble it would cause.

After buying the meat, you can stew some roe deer meat or something like that, and it won’t attract attention.

Alas, as expected, people of this generation are very stubborn. Last time their family made dumplings, they were criticized by others, saying that they didn't know how to live or something like that. If they have white flour, they should save it and eat it slowly.

Gu Qingwu didn’t understand why those people just stared at others all day long.

Fortunately, they are the only family living near her house, and the rest of the families are some distance away from them. Otherwise, even if they fart, the neighbors will know.

I don’t know why this courtyard became an independent courtyard with no neighbors around it. However, all of this is a good deal for her, so she doesn’t care so much.

"I'll get the money and the tickets."

After saying that, Gu Qingwu turned around and went back to the house. Chen Hongxia smiled and shook her head.

Gu Qingwu took the money, tickets, and a backpack and followed Chen Hong. The two of them needed to take a shopping cart to go to the county town.

When he got in the car, Gu Qingwu saw many familiar people in the family compound.

"Oh, some people are just selfish and not united."

As soon as Gu Qingwu got into the car, she heard Tian Zhaodi's sarcastic voice.

Gu Qingwu didn't even glance at the other person. At the same time, she decided not to have any contact with this person in the future. With this person's personality, if she got too close to him, who knew what he would do.

"Tian Zhaodi, can you speak?"

When Chen Hongxia heard Tian Zhaodi's sarcastic words, she was immediately furious. This woman was not punished enough. She also knew about her borrowing of food. She didn't expect that Tian Zhaodi would bully Gu Qingwu just because she saw that Gu Qingwu had a good temper.

"sister in law?"

Tian Zhaodi glanced at Chen Hongxia awkwardly, shrank back, and hid behind the people around her. "Tian Zhaodi, what kind of person are you? Everyone in our family compound knows that you never return things you borrow, so isn't it normal for the family compound not to lend you things?"

Chen Hongxia didn't intend to let Tian Zhaodi go just like that.

"sister in law?"

Tian Zhaodi felt a little embarrassed to face people. Although everyone knew her temper, no one said it in front of her.

"Tian Zhaodi, let me tell you this. If you dare to do something like this again in the future, your man will not be able to apologize for you. I will report it to my man directly. What kind of soldier is it if a man can't even control his own woman?"

Chen Hongxia was really angry. There was one problem with the family compound. There were too many people and too many things to do. Not only were there family members from their regiment, but there were also family members from other regiments.

They have three groups here.

Chen Hongxia was able to control Tian Zhaodi because Tian Zhaodi's man was her own man's subordinate.

If it were someone else, it might not work.

"Sister-in-law, I remember it."

Tian Zhaodi has really learned her lesson. She doesn't want to affect her man's future because of her. If her man's future is really affected because of her, her man will break her legs and send her back to her parents' home.

She didn't want to go back to her parents' home. She knew better than anyone what life was like there.

"And you, if you have nothing to do, just stay home and do some cleaning instead of gossiping all day long."

Chen Hongxia glanced at everyone in the car with a warning look and said in a cold voice.

Everyone nodded in unison, even those who were not the wives of those under Chen Hongxia's man nodded as well.

Gu Qingwu secretly gave Chen Hongxia a thumbs up.

In the past, Chen Hongxia had thought about finding an opportunity to teach them a lesson, but she never found the chance. Even if people really wanted to talk about her, they didn't do it in front of her.

Now that the opportunity has come to her, Chen Hongxia will not let it go.

"If you feel that I talk too much and control too much, I don't care, but you have to remember that if a man can't control his wife, his future will be ruined. You like to gossip and make trouble, I don't care, but if the army knows about your behavior, think about your men."

After saying that, Chen Hongxia pulled Gu Qingwu to find a place to sit down and ignored them. Everyone in the car looked at each other and no one dared to speak.

"Qingqing, now that we're in the county town, do you want to buy anything?"

Chen Hongxia didn't care about the atmosphere in the car. She pulled Gu Qingwu aside and began to ask in a low voice whether Gu Qingwu needed to buy anything.

Gu Qingwu thought about it and realized that the family didn’t lack anything now. She had already bought everything she needed. She was going to the county town today to see if there was anything she needed. At the same time, she also wanted to buy some wool.

"I want to buy some wool."

Gu Qingwu thought for a moment and said, Chen Hongxia looked at Gu Qingwu jokingly.

"Bought it for your Xiao Qin?"

Chen Hongxia's joking words did not make Gu Qingwu blush.

"Can't I just buy it for myself?"

When she bought wool, she didn't plan to buy just for herself, or for Qin Haonan. She wanted to buy both for the couple. Anyway, Qin Haonan gave her money, and she also had the money from the Gu family, which was more than enough for her to spend.

"Row."

Seeing that Gu Qingwu didn't show any signs of blushing or shyness, Chen Hongxia didn't want to continue.

"I want to buy some wool, too."

Thinking of her children at home and the sweaters and trousers worn by her husband, she frowned. There was nothing she could do. Even if she wanted to buy wool, she didn't have enough money to make them.

Gu Qingwu didn’t know what Chen Hongxia was thinking, and she didn’t ask. There were some things that didn’t need to be dug into.

So, the two of them started chatting, and the people in the car saw how enthusiastically they were chatting, and gradually they began to talk in low voices.
