Chapter 457 14 Military Service in the 60s
Nie Shenyuan bent down and wiped the dust off Tuanzi's hands.
Tuanzi looked at her clean fingers, then at Nie Shenyuan, and still stood in front of him.
Nie Shenyuan looked at him seriously and asked, "What's wrong?"
Although the dumpling is small, it's not stupid.
He pointed to his nose and looked at Nie Shenyuan.
"You're quite clever!" Nie Shenyuan picked up a rag and wiped the dust off his nose.
Tuanzi reached out and touched her nose, making sure there was no dust on it before leaving.
After a while, Xie Qingyu came out of the kitchen, still holding a notebook in her hand.
"That should be all," Xie Qingyu said, patting the notebook in her hand.
Nie Shenyuan leaned closer. "Let me see."
Using Xie Qingyu's hand, Nie Shenyuan read the words on the notebook.
Xie Qingyu's handwriting is very beautiful, with a charm that Nie Shenyuan couldn't quite describe. It's pleasing to the eye and completely different from his own scrawled handwriting.
"Didn't you just say you wanted to buy some soapberries?" Xie Qingyu thought there was nothing wrong with him, but she hadn't remembered what he had just said.
“We have some at home; the army sent them over yesterday,” Xie Qingyu said softly.
Nie Shenyuan glanced at her; he had clearly heard Xie Qingyu respond just now...
“Okay.” Nie Shenyuan nodded. “Then we’ll buy according to this list tomorrow. I’ll sort them out later to see where to buy each item, so we don’t miss anything.”
"Okay." Xie Qingyu handed him the notebook.
Nie Shenyuan hesitated for a moment, "You write it, I'll explain it to you..."
Nie Shenyuan looked at Xie Qingyu's handwriting and didn't want to leave his own mark on it.
.....................................
The next morning, Nie Shenyuan woke Xie Qingyu up early.
“Let’s go together today. There’s no one here to take care of Tuanzi, so let’s bring him along,” Nie Shenyuan said.
Actually, you could entrust the children here to Sister Lu. She's a kind and helpful person, and Nie Shenyuan has a good relationship with Coach Lu.
He was just worried that Tuanzi wouldn't be used to it, so he thought it would be better to bring her along.
He also took Tuanzi out for a walk.
The family of three quickly got ready.
While Xie Qingyu was changing her clothes, Nie Shenyuan quickly left, feeling embarrassed.
He looked at Xie Qingyu again and again after she changed her clothes and went out.
Xie Qingyu's clothes are all quite nice, and the fabric looks good too, but they are a bit old.
Nie Shenyuan knew that these must be the clothes Xie Qingyu had brought with her. Considering that he hadn't sent back a single cloth ration coupon in the past two years, and didn't even know where Tuanzi's clothes came from, he guessed that it must have been difficult for him.
"How about we buy another sewing machine? I still have some industrial coupons here. Tuanzi grows fast, so it will be easier to make clothes for him later," Nie Shenyuan couldn't help but say.
"That's okay too."
The two of them decided to buy a big item in just a few simple sentences.
Fortunately, Nie Shenyuan is not a spendthrift, and he has saved up quite a bit over the past two years.
Of course, even though Nie Shenyuan said that, he certainly didn't have enough industrial vouchers in his possession.
He first went out to see Coach Lu, and then returned satisfied before quickly taking Xie Qingyu and Tuanzi to the supply truck.
After arriving at the destination, the supply trucks set off.
The three of them sat in the back.
Tuanzi hadn't slept enough in the morning, but he was still very excited when he got in the car and kept looking outside. When Nie Shenyuan saw this, he picked him up and helped him stand by the car window.
"Sister-in-law, did your train journey here go smoothly? I've heard recently that quite a few pickpockets have been caught on trains." The soldier in the front passenger seat was none other than Shi Tou.
He was called over by Nie Shenyuan to help.
I have a lot to buy today, so it would be better if someone could help me.
Moreover, since Shi Tou was originally going to work in logistics, it would be easier for him to apply for a ride with the truck.
"It's fine. We didn't bring much with us, so I can just look after Tuanzi."
"So the little guy's name is Tuanzi, little Tuanzi." Shi Tou turned to look at Tuanzi, and Tuanzi looked at Shi Tou when he heard his name.
"We haven't chosen a formal name yet, so for now we'll just call him by this nickname." Xie Qingyu looked at Tuanzi's face and figured he was probably a little sleepy; children tend to get sleepy easily in cars.
“We need to choose a name that sounds impressive,” Stone said seriously.
Xie Qingyu looked at Nie Shenyuan.
Noticing Xie Qingyu's gaze, Nie Shenyuan lowered his head and coughed lightly, "I'm thinking about it."
Xie Qingyu didn't speak, but simply gestured for Nie Shenyuan to look at Tuanzi.
Nie Shenyuan didn't react at first, but after glancing at him a couple more times, he realized that he was a little sleepy.
He awkwardly held Tuanzi in his arms and watched him slowly fall asleep.
Along the way, Nie Shenyuan carried Tuanzi the whole way, only then realizing how much suffering Xie Qingyu had endured with Tuanzi.
He carried him the whole way, and his arms started to ache.
By the time they arrived in the city, Tuanzi had almost woken up.
Tuanzi prefers to walk on her own and doesn't like being carried by adults.
However, when buying things, you have to go early to get them, and some items are in limited quantities, so even if you have a ticket, you can't buy them.
"I'll let you walk on your own when we get back. I'll take you with me first." After saying that, Nie Shenyuan grabbed his arms on both sides and picked him up, placing him on his neck.
Tuanzi had never had such an experience before.
Her eyes were clearly filled with excitement, especially the feeling of being higher up, which she found quite pleasant. Tuanzi looked around, savoring this novel experience.
