The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 167 Careful Zhou Guoliang

When talking about changing the child's name, Liang Xinyue realized that she didn't even know what the child's current name was.

After working for a while, the child started crying again, and Tian Mingfang ran away quickly:

"Don't worry about it for now. I'll go feed her some milk and then give her some rice soup at noon. I'm running low on milk now."

Tian Mingfang went up and picked up the child to feed him behind a tree. She also changed the child's diaper and put him back in the basket.

As soon as she put it down, she saw Zou Wenqing and Min Honglian coming over.

Because we were not harvesting fruits today, but only clearing the land, everyone was working in one place. Zou Wenqing came over and said:

"Captain Xiao, your telegram has arrived. Political Commissar Xu wants you to go to the regiment."

Xiao Shun stopped cutting the bushes, patted his body and head, picked up his crutches and went up.

The rest of the people looked at each other, probably thinking that there was news about Xiao Shun's divorce.

After Xiao Shun left, Zou Wenqing said:

"If he divorces this marriage, I'm afraid there will be many twists and turns."

Except for Min Honglian, everyone else knew about Xiao Shun and Lin Xiaoju. After hearing what Zou Wenqing said, Liang Xinyue said worriedly:

"What else is that person going to do?"

Zou Wenqing also shook his head and said:

"do not know."

Looking at Yaya who was leading the children over there and Xiao Er who was also having fun, no one asked any more questions.

However, Min Honglian and Zou Wenqing both jumped down and helped clean up the cut grass and some chopped branches.

The weather was starting to get hot, and by noon, the area where the children were playing was about to be exposed to the sun, so Liang Xinyue called for everyone to call it a day.

Sister Yang said:

"We can go out earlier in the future. Now that it's daybreak, we can go to work when they do exercises. We can go back early at noon and come back in the afternoon when it's cloudy. This way it won't be so hot."

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"Okay, let's do this from now on. We will follow the drill makers."

Every family had men who had to go to exercise in the morning. Most of them got up after the men left. Only Liang Xinyue slept in for a few days after Yaya and the others left, and only got up when Zhou Guoliang brought back breakfast.

Fu Chunhua thought for a moment and said:

"That's still a little too early. So, let's go after breakfast. Let's go during the group's breakfast time. Eat and then come out."

After several people put away their tools, Sister Yang took the basket and said:

"In and out, I'll help you carry her."

The little guy might have felt comfortable and fell asleep now.

When they arrived at the yard, Sister Yang brought the basket to Liang Xinyue.

As soon as Liang Xinyue sat down, Zou Wenqing came over with some things on his back and in his hands.

"Sister, these are what you bought yesterday. The group leader asked me to buy these today. I don't know what to buy for the children. This was given to me by Director Liao from the state-owned restaurant."

Zou Wenqing and Gu Sanding went to the county town today. Gu Sanding was going to the Armed Forces Department to do some business. Zou Wenqing and Min Honglian were entrusted by Zhou Guoliang to buy some food for Liang Xinyue, the pregnant woman.

Zou Wenqing didn’t know what the pregnant woman should eat, or what the child should eat.

Unexpectedly, when the car stopped at the Armed Forces Department, I happened to meet Director Liao who was coming out to buy groceries.

They had met before because of Liang Xinyue's introduction. Director Liao came forward to say hello.

Zou Wenqing boldly asked Director Liao, thinking that since she was an older sister and had lived in the city for a long time, she knew what was going on in the city best.

I didn’t expect that I actually asked the right question:

"Sister, this malted milk is for you to drink. And this, Director Liao said that pregnant women eating more walnuts is good for the baby's brain. And this, this is cooked corn flour, very fine."

"Director Liao said that this corn flour is made and sold by an old workshop in their county, and that it is specially used to feed children who have no milk. You can try it, Director Liao said, don't make it too thick at the beginning. Add a little bit, and increase the dosage after the child does not have diarrhea after eating it for two days."

Liang Xinyue was very surprised:

"You said the leader asked you to buy this?"

"Well, he came early today to call Gu Sanding, and then called me and gave me the money. This is the remaining money."

Liang Xinyue smiled and nodded. She accepted the item:

"Thank you, Wenqing."

"Sister, there's no need to say thank you between us."

Zou Wenqing put down his things, turned around and looked at the skinny child in the basket, and sighed softly:

"I've seen quite a few children in the compound, but I've never seen one this thin."

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"Yeah, there's no way."

Zou Wenqing said:

"I heard Sister Tian say last night that when she was breastfeeding, she really used a lot of force, eating with great effort and big mouthfuls. Sister Tian said that her daughter wouldn't use that much force."

Liang Xinyue also looked at the thin child and sighed:

"Strong desire to survive."

She had been sitting here watching for quite a while. To be honest, the child was so thin that if she hadn't been carefully watching to see if he was breathing, she would have thought the child in the basket was dead.

Her face was sallow, her skin was loose, her hair was yellow and there were only a few of them. She didn't look like a little girl at all. People would believe she was an old man.

Zou Wenqing has been very interested in learning how to cook recently, and today he went to the county town and bought some meat.

"Sister, can I see that thing you made to freeze meat? I bought some meat and you bought me two pieces. I need to freeze them."

Liang Xinyue hurriedly took him to have a look. She was the first one to make it, but later Zhou Guoliang improved it and now it can hold more things. Zhou Guoliang made it into a big bucket outside and a small bucket in the middle, and the small bucket can hold two layers of things.

Then the bucket is covered with a lid, and the leftover vegetables of the day can be placed on the lid.

Zou Wenqing looked at this in surprise and said:

“I didn’t expect it could be used this way!”

"You can't keep it frozen for too long. Food that's been frozen for too long won't be good to eat. Come, there's enough space for everything. If you want to eat something, come over and take it. I'll ask Gu Sanding to get one later."

While the child was sleeping, Liang Xinyue hurried into the kitchen and fried the meat that Zou Wenqing had bought into shredded pork.

Of course, I had to share a small bowl with Yaya and Xiaoer. I also had a small bowl for myself, plus an egg soup and a plate of fried cowpeas, which was quite rich.

Thinking of the little child, Liang Xinyue got another enamel bowl and put a little rice in it. She also pounded a little lean meat into a meat paste with a rolling pin and then put it into the water and stirred it.

In this way, a portion of porridge was simmered in the stove in an enamel cup. It was very fragrant, but it was not okay to feed the child like this, as I was afraid that the child would not be able to digest it.

Then I filtered it through two layers of clean gauze, and what was left was a thick meat and rice soup. The quantity was not much, but it should be just right for the child.

When Zhou Guoliang came back in a hurry, he saw Liang Xinyue holding the child who had just woken up and helping him pee.
