Chapter 30 Going to the Army Compound

When making mahua, the fragrance kept coming out, Xiao Chengtu stood in front of the stove, he didn't want to leave anyway.From four o'clock in the afternoon to about nine o'clock in the evening, I finished 10 catties of flour.

Because only one pot was used, the father and son used another pot to make gnocchi for dinner.

However, when He Kai and He Mingkuan came back from collecting firewood and wild vegetables, they also stood in the kitchen for a long time when they saw the movement in the kitchen.Even if the two of them ate boiled sweet potatoes, they were reluctant to leave.

However, Gu Xi didn't care about them, nor did he give them anything.A meal of gnocchi at noon, he is considered polite.

Early the next morning, Gu Xi rode his bicycle and took his son to the army compound.Little knowledge about parenting, friends who are valued by sons, and fathers should also be valued.

Moreover, when I went to the army compound that day, the soldiers standing guard at the gate called the little fat man the second boy of the regiment leader's family, and the regiment commander in his early 40s, this position is very high.It's not Gu Xi's power, but no matter what era it is, making friends with powerful people is the need of social development.

When Gu Xi went at this point, he wasn't afraid that people would say that he was eating away, after all, he brought a lot of things.

When they arrived at the gate of the army compound, they were stopped.The soldier standing guard today is not the same person as that day, so we don't know each other.

"Hi, may I ask who are you and who are you looking for?" the soldier on guard asked very politely.

Although his face is tanned, he has a positive mental outlook.

"Hello, I'm a teacher from Lijiacun Primary School. My name is Li Aiguo. I'm here to attend Fan Xueyong's birthday." Gu Xi said.

Once he heard that he was a teacher, the attitude of the soldiers on guard would be even better.These people have extra respect for their teachers.

"Please wait a moment, I will send someone to..."

"Mr. Li." Before the soldier on guard finished speaking, a child ran over from the door, "Mr. Li, why did you come to the army compound?"

"You are Zhang Yongdan from the second grade." Gu Xi remembered him.When he came to report that day, he came with his mother, a simple peasant woman, who did not expect that she was also from the army compound. "Today is Fan Xueyong's birthday, so the teacher came over."

The soldiers on guard were relieved to see that they knew each other. "Zhang Yongdan, please take your teacher to Captain Fan's house."

"Hey." Zhang Yongdan ran up to Gu Xi, "Ms. Li, I'll take you to find Fan Xueyong."

"Thank you." Gu Xi thought for a while, then took out a kiwi fruit from the basket, "I'll give you some fruit, you have to peel it and eat it"

Zhang Yongdan took the fruit: "Thank you, Teacher Li, I have never eaten this fruit." Zhang Yongdan peeled off the skin and took a bite, "Mr. Li, this fruit is really delicious, so sweet and fragrant."

In this day and age, sugar is a luxury.

But Zhang Yongdan took a bite but didn't eat it: "Mr. Li, do you know why my name is Yongdan?"

"why?"

"Because my father is from the grenade department, he wants me to make a brave grenade." Zhang Yongdan introduced.

The corner of Gu Xi's mouth twitched.

"Mr. Li, when I make a brave grenade, I will blow up all the enemies." Zhang Yong said.

"It's amazing." Gu Xi praised him, and then took out another kiwi, "For your bravery, the teacher will reward you with another kiwi."

Zhang Yongdan quickly picked it up: "Thank you teacher." His eyes sparkled.

"You have younger siblings in your family?" Gu Xi asked.

"Well, there is another younger brother, who is 6 years old this year." Zhang Bravely said, and scratched his hair honestly, "My younger brother has never eaten such a delicious fruit. I want to give it to him, but now there is There are two, I can have one and him one."

"You are not only a brave grenade, but also a good brother."

"Hey..." Zhang Yong, who was praised, smiled shyly.After a while, the little fat man arrived, "Mr. Li, this is Fan Xueyong's home, I'm going home first."

"Okay, thank you." Gu Xi knew that he couldn't wait to take the kiwi home and give it to his brother to eat.

There were quite a few people in the little fat man's house today, at least Gu Xi heard a lot of voices inside when he was at the door.There were also a few boys playing in the yard. When they saw Gu Xi coming, they said loudly, "Fan Xueyong, you have guests at your house...Fan Xueyong, you have guests at your house..."

The little fat man ran out of the house. When he saw Gu Xi, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he yelled happily: "Mr. Li...Mr. Li, you are really here, you are really here...Mom, Teacher Li is here... ...Mom, come quickly, Teacher Li is here..." The little fat man ran up to Gu Xi, staring at the basket on the bicycle, "Ms. Li, did you bring me something delicious?"

In addition to eating, the little fat man still eats.

"My father brought a lot of delicious food, all made yesterday." Xiao Chengtu, the traitor, immediately said.

"Wow, your teacher, you are so kind, better than my parents and brothers, show me quickly, what have you brought?"

"Your child, you really don't have any age." A middle-aged woman came over.Unlike the women in the countryside, she is very slender, wearing black trousers and a floral shirt that are popular among female educated youths in this era, and her long hair is tied up.His complexion is fair, and his voice is soft, and it is obvious that he is not from the countryside.

Same type as his mother, lady!

"This is Teacher Li. Teacher Li is very welcome. Yesterday, the little fat man was still talking about whether Teacher Li and his friends would come. Now he is happy." Fan Xueyong's mother said.He also speaks very well, including Gu Xi and Xiao Chengtu. "In the past few days, his grandmother was sick, his father and I were away, and his brother went on a mission again. I really trouble you to take care of him." At the same time, she also looked at Gu Xi.

A slender young man, whether it is a white shirt or work pants, is clean, and even children are neatly dressed.The young man's skin is very fair, and his appearance is also handsome. At first glance, he doesn't work in the fields.Those who didn't know thought they came from big cities, but as an elementary school teacher, he was an intellectual, unlike people in the countryside who only worked hard.

"You're welcome. I'm a teacher and he's a student. I should take care of him. Besides, my son has few friends. Xueyong has a lively and enthusiastic personality, which just happens to drive my son along." Gu Xi didn't expect that Fan Xueyong's mother was also called Fan Xueyong's junior. fat man.

"In addition to this advantage, this little fat man in our family can't find another advantage in his whole body. It is said to be an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage. It is too skinny." Fan Xueyong's mother was helpless again.

Gu Xi smiled, and handed over the basket: "I brought some food. Cakes and fruits can't be stored for long, and small snacks won't spoil after a few days."

Fan Xueyong's mother also saw the basket and knew it was for her family.Gu Xi didn't notice anything when she was carrying it, but she realized that the basket was heavy once she took it.Hearing what Gu Xi said again, she was a little surprised: "The little fat man is very happy that you can come to celebrate his birthday, and you brought so many things."

"Chengtu said that the teacher made it for me specially, Mom, let me see what it is." The little fat man said anxiously.

"It's nothing, some of them were picked by Xueyong when he lived in my house." Gu Xi said.

Fan Xueyong's mother couldn't resist the little fat man, and the little fat man had already lifted the lid of the basket, and the friends playing in the yard followed him in.There were several women in the house. Fan Xueyong's mother introduced: "This is our little fat man's teacher, and this is the military wife in the army."

"Hello teacher."

"Hello ladies."

"Wow, Mr. Li, you are so kind, even better than my parents and brothers. You brought me a lot of things." The little fat man exclaimed again.

Fan Xueyong's mother also saw it, and was quite surprised.She originally thought that there should be nothing good in the countryside, but it's not that she looked down on Gu Xi, it's that the rural people in this era are poor.But she didn't expect Gu Xi to bring so many things here. It was a bit heavy in her hands just now, she thought it was sweet potatoes or something.

"These things are not easy to buy. They cost a lot of money, right?" said a military wife.

"I made it myself." Gu Xi said.

"You did it all?" The military wife was a little disbelieving.This man is too nice, right?

As long as the materials are sufficient and 444 helps, I can do anything.

Gu Xi smiled.

Fan Xueyong's mother brought Gu Xi and Xiao Chengtu two bowls of brown sugar water, and seeing that the little fat man had already taken out the things, she simply gave them to the children to eat together.

"Is this a cake? I haven't seen it for a long time. The last time I ate it was in the capital. There was a pastry shop opened by a foreigner." The little fat man's mother said.

"Yes, it's not comparable to the milk cake in the pastry shop, without cream." Gu Xi replied.

"It's great to be able to make cakes." Fan Xueyong's mother sincerely praised.Then he took out the small twist, and the little fat man had already picked up one and was eating it. It was crispy and sweet, and he liked it very much. "You can't eat this, it's mine." The little fat man said domineeringly.

Fan Xueyong's mother opened his hand, and gave two friends and several military wives each.Gu Xi brought about 80 roots for a catty.

The military wives were reluctant to eat, so they gave it to their friends.

Fan Xueyong's mother also ate one: "It still smells like milk, did you put milk?"

"Well, milk powder is added."

"You child... why are you spending so much money?" It's no wonder that the little fat man in the family likes him so much, even as a mother, she has never prepared food for the little fat man so thoughtfully.

When she was born, she was a young lady, and she was really not good at housework and snacks.

Then there were chestnuts, five catties of chestnuts, and Fan Xueyong's mother divided two more.She felt that Gu Xi was very careful, if the amount of things given today was small, she really didn't know how to distribute them to the children.

The last is the kiwi fruit, the green hairy kiwi fruit, which is not very good-looking.Except for Fan Xueyong's mother, none of the people present knew what it was.But even though Fan Xueyong's mother knew about it, she never ate it.The fruits that can be eaten in this era are limited, and the common one is apples.

"This is... kiwi fruit? I've seen it, but I haven't eaten it either."
