Chapter 341 I'm worried, I want to go check on it.
I bought two blocks of tofu and more than a pound of bean sprouts.
"Yes, there's a smaller supply and marketing cooperative behind the military compound canteen. It's not as big as the one in the county town. It usually sells necessities, and they also have some meat, eggs, and dairy products."
Gu Nan took a bite of rice and began to speak.
The military compound here is quite a distance from downtown Beijing.
To make things easier for the families living here, there is a small supply and marketing cooperative that sells vegetables, meat, eggs, milk, and other daily necessities such as toothpaste, soap, and towels.
There was also some grain and such.
That's all. If you need anything else, you'll have to go to the city center of Beijing to buy it.
In Beijing's urban area, in addition to supply and marketing cooperatives, there were also state-run restaurants and shopping malls.
Of course, they are all state-owned.
At that time, the economy was not yet open, and private business was not allowed.
However, black markets inevitably emerge, and ordinary people engage in some private transactions. Of course, these are all unregulated, but many people are willing to trade their own agricultural products privately.
It's not that the authorities aren't cracking down, it's just that they're not as strict as they were in previous years.
As for the canteen in the military compound, there should be about ten dishes for each meal, which is convenient for soldiers who do not have family members here.
Of course, there are also canteens in the military region.
Many people also prefer to eat their fill in the military before returning to the compound.
Those who can live in the military compound are all people with military ranks; ordinary soldiers cannot leave the military compound.
Not to mention being assigned a house; everyone lived in dormitories.
Besides stewed tofu and stir-fried bean sprouts, dinner included radish soup and stir-fried cured pork with green peppers.
It was a bit bland, mainly because I was worried the fresh meat would spoil due to the hot weather and long journey.
So after Gu Zhendong's wedding, all the fresh meat was given to his friends.
Gu's mother only brought some sweet potatoes, potatoes, radishes, cabbages, and other vegetables that are easy to store.
There were also some cured meat and grains.
"Hmm, I'll check tomorrow. If I have time, I'll go to the city and buy some fresh meat," Su Niannian said while eating.
"You're pregnant, isn't it inconvenient?" Gu's mother asked with some concern.
"There's nothing inconvenient about it. I'm only newly pregnant, it's nothing to worry about," Su Niannian continued.
"Why don't I go with you? We have two bicycles at home anyway," Zhao Tian said. She also felt that the city was a bit far from here, and it might be unsafe for Su Niannian to go by herself.
Having me around means I can take better care of things.
Su Niannian glanced at Gu Nan, who clearly didn't want her to go out alone either.
He nodded and smiled in agreement.
After the meal, Gu's mother and Zhao Tian naturally didn't need Su Niannian and Gu Nan to help clean up the dishes.
So, Su Niannian pulled Gu Nan straight back to their room.
As soon as he entered the room, Gu Nan thought that Su Niannian missed him and wanted to have some sweet moments with him.
As soon as they entered the room, Gu Nan grabbed Su Niannian's waist.
He made a move to kiss her, but Su Niannian pushed him away.
"What's wrong?" Gu Nan's deep voice rang in Su Niannian's ear.
"I have something to tell you," Su Niannian said softly.
Damn it, damn it all, why does my own scumbag husband keep seducing me?
Clearly, I have something important to say.
As a result of Gu Nan's actions, his body became a little hot.
Damn it! Gu Nan, that bastard, really deserves to die!
Su Niannian couldn't help but think to herself.
Over there, Gu Nan noticed the change in Su Niannian's expression and wondered if something had happened today.
"She has something to tell me," Gu Nan thought, and only then did he release his grip on Su Niannian's waist.
"Did something happen today?" Gu Nan asked, pulling Su Niannian to sit on the edge of the bed.
Su Niannian nodded.
“This morning, you had just left when Zhou Qishan came to see me.”
"They say something happened to Commander Lu..."
Su Niannian told Gu Nan everything that had happened at the military hospital that day.
Unlike what she told Gu's mother, where some details needed to be vague, she carefully told Gu Nan everything.
Gu Nan's expression grew increasingly gloomy as he listened.
In the end, his brows were almost furrowed together.
Gu Nan finally let out a long sigh of relief after hearing everything Su Niannian had said.
"I have to go see Chief Lu," Gu Nan said to Su Niannian as he stood up.
Although Su Niannian had already told Gu Nan that Chief Lu was really fine, Gu Nan was still worried.
I was able to return this time thanks to the many things that Commander Lu did for me.
Therefore, Gu Nan wanted to go and see for himself before he could feel at ease.
Su Niannian knew Gu Nan's temperament and personality, so she didn't plan to stop him any longer.
“Then I’ll go with you. We have two bicycles at home anyway,” Su Niannian said, standing up and taking Gu Nan’s hand.
However, it was already quite dark, and Gu Nan was a little worried about letting Su Niannian ride her bicycle with him to the military hospital.
"I'll give you a ride on my bike, so you don't have to ride by yourself," Gu Nan said, taking Su Niannian's hand in his own.
Then Su Niannian nodded slightly, "Wait for me, my pants are dirty, I'll change them." Su Niannian said.
I quickly changed into a new pair of pants.
Then she went out with Gu Nan.
In the courtyard, Gu's mother and Zhao Tian had just finished cleaning up the kitchen and brewed some tea, planning to relax in the courtyard and have some tea.
Then Gu Nan led Su Niannian out, and Su Niannian was carrying a military green crossbody bag.
"Are you two going out?" Gu's mother asked Gu Nan.
"Okay, let's go to the military hospital to see Commander Lu," Gu Nan said, already heading towards the warehouse to get his bicycle.
"It's so late, is it safe for you to take Niannian there? Why don't you go by yourself?" Gu's mother asked Gu Nan, somewhat worried about Su Niannian.
"Mother, I'm going with Gu Nan. We'll be back soon. Don't worry, with Gu Nan here."
“If I go with him, I can help Gu Nanzhao with the flashlight,” Su Niannian said with a smile.
Seeing Su Niannian's reaction, Gu's mother didn't say anything more.
"Take something with you, there are some cakes at home." Mother Gu said, and was about to go inside to get them.
"No need, Mother. We'll just go take a look and come right back. We're all family here." Su Niannian stopped Gu's mother, indicating that it wasn't necessary.
The main thing is that Su Niannian still has a lot of fresh fruit in her space, so she can take some out for Chief Lu and the others to eat later.
It's definitely more suitable than homemade pastries.
"Then, Mom, if it gets late, you should get some rest. I'll be here with Niannian, nothing will happen." Gu Nan said, and then let Su Niannian sit comfortably on the cotton cushion on the back of his bicycle.
