In the next few days, An Nian used the Chinese herbal medicine Ji Xiulian bought to refine the external ointment she needed.

In fact, this is a relatively simple ointment, but processing the Chinese herbs in it takes up a lot of time.

Fortunately, An Nian's spiritual power is relatively abundant now, so it is not a burden. She can still read books in her spare time while refining the ointment.

The textbooks for middle and high schools are different in each place. There is a library in Yuncheng. After the college entrance examination was resumed, the library also opened in April this year.

Ji Xiulian told her this news. An Nian took the letter of introduction to apply for a library card, which gave her another channel to get books.

"Nian Nian, have you eaten? Sister made braised pork today and brought you a bowl."

An Nian was drying the Chinese herbal medicines he picked out. Hearing this, he looked up and laughed.

"Sister Xiulian, you are a bit impatient."

Sister Xiulian has come to visit almost every day since she made the medicine for her.

Ji Xiulian's cheeks turned red for a moment: "Hey, I'm not here to ask about the ointment today. I'm really and simply giving you a bowl of braised pork."

"Good good."

An Nian stood up, wiped his hands, and took the small bowl from her hand.

"It smells good."

"I asked someone to bring back the fresh pork belly this morning. I heard that it was a big fat pig raised by fellow villagers. The meat quality is very good!"

Seeing that she didn't dwell on the previous topic, Ji Xiulian quickly introduced it with a smile.

"Do you still have steamed buns at home? You can eat them with it."

"Yes."

An Nian went into the kitchen, took out two white flour buns from the steamer, and handed one to Ji Xiulian.

Ji Xiulian was not polite and took a big bite: "Oh, don't tell me, your steamed buns made by Lao Yu are just soft! They are much more delicious than the ones I have eaten before!"

The two families have become closer during this time, and Ji Xiulian's name for Lu Yuan has changed from "Battle Commander Yu" who was unfamiliar at first to "Lao Yu".

Hearing her praise her Yuanyuan, An Nian couldn't stop the smile on her face.

"Really? Our Yuan Yuan is amazing! The braised pork he makes tastes great too!"

"Hahahaha, is that right? Then try what your sister makes quickly and compare it with your Yuanyuan."

Ji Xiulian burst out laughing when she heard her calling Yu Luyuan's nickname.

An Nian picked up a piece of braised pork, cut it in half vertically, turned it into slightly thin slices, stuffed it into a steamed bun, and took a big bite.

The soft steamed buns absorb the aroma of the braised pork sauce. After entering the mouth, the taste is rich and the texture is also very soft.

"good to eat!"

An Nian's eyes lit up for a moment.

"How does it compare with your Yuanyuan's?" Ji Xiulian smiled jokingly.

An Nian pursed her lips and smiled, with a touch of shyness, but she didn't dodge her words at all: "Of course the braised pork made by my Yuanyuan is more delicious!"

"You! You're really not afraid of offending me."

"I know Sister Xiulian has a good temper." An Nian ate the steamed buns and spoke very casually.

Ji Xiulian laughed for a while before stopping: "In addition to bringing you braised pork, I also have good news for you at the same time."

"What good news?"

"Isn't it Labor Day soon? The military region's annual cultural performance is about to begin! Every year our military wives put on a show.

This program can be performed on stage together with the cultural troupe, which is a great honor.This year we plan to sing "The Red Mountain Dandan Flowers Are Blooming"! "

An Nian was confused when he heard this, not knowing what this news had to do with him.

Ji Xiulian patted her, hating that iron could never become steel.

"Oh, the art performance is so fun. We are trapped here every day with nothing to do, and it is very uncomfortable. Besides, after I got the news, I recommended you to everyone."

"Recommend me?" An Nian bit the bun and his eyes widened. "I do not know how to sing."

"It's very simple." Ji Xiulian smiled slyly at her, "It's a chorus anyway, you can blend in and make no noise. But, I recommend you to stand in the middle of the first row. In the past years, this position was occupied by Qiao Manting. Yes, do you know Qiao Manting?"

Seeing the confusion in her small eyes, Ji Xiulian was speechless for a moment.

This girl really doesn't care about the people and things in her family's courtyard at all.

"You stay in the yard all day and don't like to go out and chat with everyone. This Qiao Manting is Qiao Jingjing's biological sister."

An Nian raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's her."

Taking another big bite of the steamed bun, An Nian said slowly, "Since she is Qiao Jingjing's sister, then the position in the middle...is mine."

Ji Xiulian silently gave her a thumbs up: "I knew you would react this way."

An Nian is very possessive of her man, but Ji Xiulian feels it. Every time she gets along with this young couple, she can see the aversion between them. Anyone who disturbs them will receive the "death stare" from both of them. .

An Nian glanced at the pimples that still existed on Ji Xiulian's face. No wonder Sister Xiulian was so anxious. It turned out that she was about to perform on stage.

"Sister Xiulian, I can make the ointment tonight. Come and get it from me tomorrow morning."

Ji Xiulian smiled happily: "Okay! I'll come find you at noon tomorrow."

Forget it in the morning, An Nian cannot get up.

"to make!"

After chewing the big steamed bun in his hand, An Nian got to work quickly.

Ji Xiulian was afraid of disturbing her, so she took the clean small bowl and went home.

After a busy afternoon, An Nian finally finished processing all the Chinese herbal medicines that needed to be used. After the sun went down, he put away the dried herbs.

She took a clean dustpan and arranged the Chinese herbal medicines in different areas, and she could start refining them when it got dark.

However, before refining the medicine, she still needed to cook dinner.

The staple food is steamed buns, which have been steamed a long time ago, and the side dish is stir-fried baby cabbage.

An Nian walked to the edge of the vegetable field and pulled out a few cabbage plants.

The vegetables she grew grew very quickly, and they were all grown in just over a month. If she hadn't been afraid of scaring outsiders, they would have grown even faster.

Not only vegetables, but also the rose flower in the corner has grown to two meters high and wrapped around the wall. Its lush branches surprised Ji Xiulian several times.

An Nian controlled it and didn't let the rose bloom, leaving the rest to its own devices.

Anyway, as long as it doesn't bloom, no one in the family area will care.

In the front pot, cabbage was stir-fried, and in the back pot, An Nian steamed egg custard.

Steamed egg custard is the simplest dish. You just need to control the amount of water and salt, put it into the pot, and steam it for 8 minutes.

This is just the right time to fry the bok choy.

After such a long time, An Nian was able to learn a few simple dishes.

-

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door opening, she leaned out and shouted: "Yuanyuan, are you back?"

When Yu Luyuan heard her voice, a smile appeared on his face.

"Well, I'm back! We went into the water for training today, and I took the opportunity to bring back some seafood."

They are stationed at the seaside, and naval battles are inevitable. Although they are an army, they will also have training in this area.

"What seafood?"

An Nian brought out the steamed eggs and cabbage, and looked at them curiously as he passed by the yard.

"It's a kind of shellfish. I can't name it, but I heard it tastes very fresh. It's also very simple to make. Once it's steamed, you can dip it in the sauce and eat it."

"Not bad." An Nian nodded with a smile. After putting the dishes on the table, he came out to watch him handle the ingredients. "Are there any pearls in this shell?"

"There shouldn't be this." Yu Luyuan kept moving his hands and looked up at her with a smile. "Niannian, do you want pearls? I can go to the bottom of the sea to find them."

Shells containing pearls rarely come to shallows, and the deeper the water, the more likely they are.

With Yu Lu Yuan's current ability, it is completely effortless to go into the deep sea to search for pearls.

An Nian held her chin and shook her head: "No, I'm just a little curious. I haven't seen a shell that can grow pearls."

The pearl necklaces left by her mother were all strung together. Each pearl was round and smooth, and all were white. However, An Nian was quite curious when she heard that pearls also come in other colors.

"Okay." Yu Luyuan didn't say much, he just nodded with a smile and stood up with the processed shells. "I'll steam them now and then we'll eat."

"Okay." An Nian followed him and watched him put the steamer and arrange the cleaned shell meat.

"not hungry?"

Yu Luyuan stuffed two firewood into the stove and reached out to touch her face.

An Nian tilted her face and rubbed his palm: "I'm not hungry. I want to wait for you to eat together."

Yu Luyuan loved her coquettish look the most, so he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her slightly pouty lips.

"After this period of busy work, I will have time to rest, and then I will stay with you all day."

He originally thought that bringing Niannian over to join the army would make her live happier, but he didn't expect that she would feel even more lonely after she came over.

When she was at home, Nian Nian could still go out with her parents. Whether in the village or in the county, Nian Nian had a great time.

Since arriving in the military area, except for her close relationship with the daughter-in-law of Camp Commander Liu next door, she is very unfamiliar with everyone else.

Yu Luyuan saw all this and felt extremely distressed.

"it is good."

An Nian's eyes lit up when she heard that he could take a vacation, and she held his hand.

"Yuanyuan, let's eat first! Let me tell you, I fried baby cabbage today! Come and try it!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! I'm so awesome, I even steamed eggs."

"Hahahaha, our Nian Nian is amazing."

Yu Luyuan did not hesitate to praise him.

An Nian also kept half of the braised pork that Ji Xiulian brought over at noon, and the two of them ate it with gusto, one meat, one vegetarian, and one egg custard.

When I was half full, the shell meat in the pot was also steamed.

Yu Luyuan mixed the sauce, and the couple was very satisfied with the meal.

An Nian, who had eaten and drank enough, lay in Yu Luyuan's arms, swaying her feet comfortably and humming a song.

Yu Luyuan was leaning on the recliner, holding his beloved girl in his hands, and the smile on his face never faded.

His big palm stroked An Nian every now and then, enjoying the rare leisure time.

An Nian thought of what Sister Xiulian said at noon today, put a hand on his chest, and looked up at him.

"Yuanyuan, can you sing "Shandandanhua blooms redly"?"

"meeting."

"Then you teach me!" An Nian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly lay in his arms, staring at him with bright eyes.

Yu Luyuan was a little curious and thought that such thoughts were really cute, so he said jokingly.

"What can I gain by teaching you?"

An Nian was stunned for a moment: "What do you want?"

Yu Luyuan's thoughts changed slightly and he came close to her ear: "I want..."

An Nian's cheeks instantly turned red and she looked at him with her mouth open: "You...you...you..."

Yu Luyuan curled his lips, relaxed and fell back, folding his hands behind his head, the old god was there.

"Just say you want to?"

An Nian blushed and bit her lip. In fact, she was not unmoved.

"willing."

A smile flashed in Yu Luyuan's eyes, and he knew that his Nian Nian could not resist the temptation: "Then I will teach you."

So the two of them nestled together and started singing one sentence for you and me following the other.

-

In the Liu family next door, Battalion Commander Liu is much more free than Yu Luyuan. He goes to get off work on time and has been home for a long time.

At this time, he was holding a newspaper and reading it with great interest.

After Ji Xiulian finished her work in the kitchen, she took out the bathtub and filled it with water. As soon as she put her daughter in the basin, she heard singing coming from next door.

She was stunned for a moment, turned to look at her man in the room, and suddenly became angry.

"Old Willow!"

"What are you doing?" Camp Chief Liu didn't even raise his head.

"You come and give your daughter a bath!"

"What?"

"What, what, what? You act like an uncle at home every day! When you go home, you only eat and sleep!"

Ji Xiulian put her hands on her hips and became angry.

Battalion Commander Liu put down the newspaper and was confused. He didn't know where he had offended his wife.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up!"

After saying these words, Ji Xiulian turned around and entered the bedroom.

She needs to wash up too!Nian Nian's ointment will be ready tomorrow, so she has to prepare it in advance.

-

"Have you learned it?" Yu Luyuan finished singing the entire song line by line, lowered his head and asked with a smile.

An Nian was very confident: "I learned it!"

She still doesn’t know what the tune is, but she has memorized the lyrics anyway!

"Really?"

"Really!" An Nian looked back with big eyes.

"Sure. Then I'll check it tonight."

Um?Check at night?How to check?Two big question marks appeared in An Nian's eyes.

Yu Luyuan did not tell her the answer: "Didn't I say that I was going to make medicine tonight? Should I start now? Do you need help from brother?"

"Oh, yes, I'm going to start now."

An Nian was so obsessed with male sex that he almost forgot the most important task tonight and hurriedly stood up.

"Yuanyuan, please help me light the fire!"

"to make!"

After arriving at the military area, An Nian had already refined ointment several times.

Yu Luyuan is also very familiar with it. In order to simplify An Nian's refining process, he even found steel and made a small stove.

He put a few pieces of fire-resistant wood into the small stove, lit it in Luyuan, and carried it into the house.

The small living room has been sorted out.

An Nian sat down cross-legged on a cushioned stool and started to perform hand-to-hand tricks. The alchemy furnace placed on the window sill day and night to absorb the essence of the sun and moon instantly grew in size.

Yu Luyuan was watching over her, and his heart was moved every time by her concentration when refining alchemy.

Nian Nian's expression when refining alchemy is really beautiful, her focused look, smooth movements, confident and public.

Nian Nian is very capable, knows many skills, and is so beautiful. She is perfect.

Yu Luyuan always felt that he was not worthy of her.

So, he worked hard to climb higher in the army.

Therefore, he took care of all Nian Nian's needs and took care of her in all aspects, making Nian Nian inseparable from him.

In this way, even if Niannian meets a better man later, he will look back at himself one more time.

Thinking of this, Yu Luyuan couldn't help but hold his forehead and smiled silently.

In fact, I am quite despicable...
