Wen Jiajia kneaded the flour into a ball, then used a rolling pin to roll out several strips of noodles longer than her arms, and finally stretched them into thin strips and waited for cooking.
The key to delicious noodle soup lies in the soup.
It’s a pity that the old duck has just been stewed, so forget about eating old duck noodles.
Wen Jiajia thought about it, put some oil in the pan, fried three eggs, added some soy sauce, and poured in boiling water. With a sizzling sound, the soup rolled a few times and became a little thick.
She took out three dried shrimps and put them into the soup to cook. Finally, she put in the noodles and vegetables, and three pieces of smoked fish that she had made yesterday. When the noodles were cooked, she scooped them into a bowl, knocked on the door, and called Wen Chun and Wen Xuan to eat.
Wen Chun and Wen Xuan were still struggling with their clothes. They stayed in bed for so long that it took them a long time to get dressed.
Wen Jiajia simply went in and helped the two of them put on their clothes.
They both wore new cotton-padded jackets made this year. The red floral jackets made the two children look energetic and cute.
Wen Jiajia also bought them new shoes.
Wen Jiajia used cotton cloth to exchange shoes with Fang Mingyan. She could make clothes, but she was really incapable of making shoes. Especially this kind of cotton shoes, she couldn’t make them even if she broke her hands.
These days, because the two girls were wearing new clothes, they insisted on eating with their smocks on.
“Would you like to have noodles today?” Wen Chun stood on tiptoe and looked at the bowl on the table. “It smells so good.”
Wen Jiajia carried the two to the table: “Today is aunt’s birthday, so of course, we have to eat longevity noodles. What do you want to say to Aunt?”
Wen Chun looked confused: “Happy birthday, aunt?”
Wen Jiajia held her forehead with her hand.
She forgot that very few people in the area celebrated their children’s birthdays, and the Wen family was the same.
At most, they would boil a whole egg and eat it.
“Okay, if it’s a good birthday, then it’s a good birthday.” Wen Jiajia didn’t care. She picked up a chopstick of longevity noodles and said to herself in her heart, “Happy birthday.”
She spoke to the original owner, and also to herself.
At noon, they had the fragrant old duck soup.
The soup was clear but tasty. It was less greasy than chicken soup, and if she skimmed off the oil, she could drink three bowls in one go.
She stewed a little too much duck soup, and there was still more than half of it left in the casserole the next day.
Wen Jiajia touched her nose and decided to eat noodles.
It was winter, and the sailors would be frozen to death. She was still taking anti-cold medicine, so who would be willing to cook?
Wen Jiajia now treasured her body very much because her stomach pain was indeed not as severe after her last menstruation. She thought it was due to the medicine she took, which showed that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Fang was indeed effective.
Just as she finished rolling out the dough, there was a “dong dong dong” sound at the door.
It was early in the morning, and she didn’t know who it was.
It was still bright outside, and because it was cold, she didn’t even open the kitchen door when she got up this morning.
After opening the door and coming to the main room, Wen Jiajia looked up in surprise, only to see snowflakes falling from the patio.
The moment they fell into the water tank, they disappeared, and when they fell onto the ground, they accumulated into a thin layer of white snow.
“It’s snowing.” Her eyes sparkled.
In the winter when cotton clothes, coal, and food are plentiful, it is a delight to see snow.
“Boom boom boom—”
There was another knock on the door.
“I’m coming, I’m coming.” Why are you in such a hurry?
Wen Jiajia first opened the door to the main room and came to the front yard, where a vast expanse of white scenery greeted her.
She was slightly stunned.
The next second, “Jia Jia.”
The person at the door shouted in a low voice.
Wen Jiajia took a deep breath, in disbelief, jumped down the stairs, and ran to open the door: “Wei Dai?”
“Squeak—”
It was indeed Wei Dai at the door.
He smiled: “Happy birthday!”
Wen Jiajia looked up at him, her eyes sparkling: “Why are you back?”
Wei Dai: “My marriage application has been approved, and I came back to marry you.”
He couldn’t wait a moment.
The plan was to reach the county town last night, but due to a traffic jam, they didn’t arrive until this morning.
Wen Jiajia pulled him into the house and was quite surprised: “Your army actually allowed you to come back?”
Wei Dai: “Marriage, there is no other way.”
If he delayed for a few more years, he would be an older unmarried man, and his leaders would feel embarrassed seeing this.
When she heard that he was going to get married and looked at the information about Wen Jiajia that he handed in, she signed it immediately and then gave him a few days off to go home and handle the matter.
Wen Jiajia took him to the stove and looked at the small amount of luggage beside him: “You haven’t gone home yet?”
Wei Dai nodded.
Wen Jiajia: “…”
Fine.
If her children are like this in the future, she will consider whether she should spend all her property before dying.
Wen Jiajia asked again: “How many days can you stay after you come back?”
Wei Dai warmed his hands, took out some of the things in his luggage, and said, “Excluding the round trip, I can stay at home for four days.”
Wen Jiajia glared, “So we have to get the certificate today?”
Wei Dai smiled and said, “Yes.” Then the wedding will be held the day after tomorrow, and he will have to leave after that. The next time he comes back, it will be when he takes Wen Jiajia to the army.
OMG, Wen Jiajia never thought that she would get married in such a hasty way.
“Drink the soup, drink the soup.” Wen Jiajia poured him a bowl of soup, “We’ll talk after you finish drinking it.”
Wei Dai paused, a little nervous: “Jia Jia…”
Wen Jiajia: “I didn’t say I wouldn’t get married.”
She hesitated and said, “I can get married, but I don’t think it matters whether I have a wedding or not.”
Wei Dai’s heart was torn by these words, and finally, he was confused: “No wedding?”
Wen Jiajia twisted her hair: “It’s too late.”
Wei Dai said gently: “It’s still in time, I promise.”
Wen Jiajia said, “I heard that they had to order meat one or two months in advance for their wedding.”
“I can do those things.”
“you said!”
Wen Jiajia was afraid of trouble, and there was no one on her side to help her. She also had to take care of two girls on weekdays, so she really didn’t have the ability to do these things.
Wei Dai took a sip of soup and said, “That’s what I said.”
He looked so confident that Wen Jiajia secretly wondered if he had been prepared.
Didn’t he secretly prepare for it after she agreed to go on a blind date with him?
Man, huh!
Wei Dai had probably been single for too long. After eating a bowl of duck meat and drinking two bowls of soup, he sat next to her, ready to take her to the county town at any time.
But Wen Jiajia is not that unfussy, she does want to eat breakfast.
In her previous life, she often skipped breakfast, had messy meals, stayed up all night, and then successfully caused herself to die suddenly. In this life, she still didn’t learn from her mistakes, so she really deserved to die.
Wen Chun and Wen Xuan walked out of the room, and the moment they saw Wei Dai, the two girls showed the same confused expression on their faces.
Wen Chun tilted her head: “Uncle Wei?”
She is older and obviously still remembers it.
Wen Xuan hesitated for two seconds before she laughed out loud and hid behind Wen Chun and called out, “Uncle Wei.”
Wei Dai pinched the two girls’ faces and said, “They are much stronger.”
Wen Xuan’s eyes curved, and she quickly ran back to her room, took out her precious building blocks, and wanted to play with Wei Dai.
Wen Jiajia glanced over and said, “Eat.”
Wen Xuan, who had just walked to the door, hesitated and took the building blocks back.
After dinner, Wei Dai went to borrow a car.
He is familiar with the village party secretary’s family, so it is easy to borrow a car from him.
But because he was walking around the village, everyone in Fuyang knew that Wei Dai was back. Why? To get married.
Although he didn’t say it, he asked the village party secretary to help write a letter of introduction to Wen Jiajia, which made it clear that he was going to get married.
“Wei Dai, are you going to marry Jia Jia?”
Wei Dai nodded.
“Can I follow you to the army after we get married?”
Wei Dai nodded again: “It will take a while.”
Oh my god, the villagers have something to talk about in their spare time. They say that Wen Jiajia has found a rich husband and is going to eat at the army dinner.
It was dawn and there were no more snowflakes in the sky.
The sun shone slightly and the snow on the ground melted, leaving only the mountainside and the top of the mountain still covered with snow.
Because Wei Dai was there to protect her and she was wrapped up tightly, Wen Jiajia didn’t feel very cold sitting on the back seat of the bicycle.
She poked Wei Dai: “Don’t you really need to inform your parents?” After all, it’s such a big deal to get married.
Wei Dai: “I told you so long ago.”
Wen Jiajia patted him angrily: “I knew you had planned it a long time ago.”
He appears very serious on the surface, but does it secretly.
Wei Dai smiled and said, “I meant a few days ago. I sent a telegram to tell them a few days ago.”
He is not so “unkind” as that.
Wen Jiajia asked: “What is your parents’ attitude?”
Wei Dai: “My parents are very happy and told me to hurry up and get the marriage certificate while you agree.”
Wen Jiajia suspected: “You must have lied to me.”
“I did not lie to you.”
His parents didn’t know yet that he could bring his family to the army, and they were very happy and anxious that a girl would fall in love with him, a man who was destined to leave his wife a widow.
Wen Jiajia didn’t understand.
If you can’t figure it out, just forget about it. They are his parents anyway.
She lived in Fuyang before she got married, and she still lived in Fuyang after she got married. After a while, she went to the army, and she no longer needed to live with her in-laws.
The county town was soon reached.
Wei Dai was indeed very anxious and took Wen Jiajia straight to the marriage registration office.
The staff checked the documents of both parties, asked whether they were willing to get married, and then stamped them, establishing the marriage relationship between the two.
Wen Jiajia was dizzy. They were getting married already.
Wei Dai didn’t know whether he was nervous or happy, his palms were sweaty, but he insisted on holding Wen Jiajia’s hand.
Wen Jiajia broke free and wiped her hands on her clothes: “I hate it so much, it’s all sweat.”
Wei Dai just kept looking at her and smiling.
Wen Jiajia felt embarrassed by his gaze and asked him, “Are we going home now?”
Wei Dai shook his head: “Go shopping.”
Wen Jiajia was also itching to go shopping. This was her first marriage in two lives, and although she didn’t have a honeymoon, she still had to go shopping.
So she searched his pockets and asked, “What tickets do you have?”
Wei Dai stuffed the tickets in his pocket into her hands and said, “They’re all here. Go buy whatever you want.”
It is the most beautiful thing for a man to say. Wen Jiajia suddenly felt rich and immediately rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative.
However, although he had money and tickets in his pocket, there wasn’t much in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wen Jiajia felt that she was swelled.
Originally, she thought the supply and marketing cooperatives had a wide variety of goods, but she couldn’t afford to buy anything with the little money in her pocket.
Now? She had money and tickets in her pocket, so she didn’t care about anything.
The supply and marketing cooperative was full of necessities, and Wen Jiajia wandered around inside, buying two kilograms of candy and two kilograms of biscuits, and finally came to the cloth counter, where she spent a few minutes picking out two pieces of cloth, and that was it.
Wei Dai: “Not buying anything else?”
Wen Jiajia was embarrassed: “I don’t know what to buy?”
Wei Dai: “Then let’s go to the department store and buy things later. We need to buy some new things after we move, and you can buy them.”
When Wen Jiajia heard this, she was immediately happy.
