109: Daughter-in-Law Sent It, Sweet! (7 More)
From Shangdu to Beijing, it takes only ten hours by train.
The package that Xia Xiaolan sent to the capital was sent through the post office, but it took 9 days for it to be delivered to Zhou Cheng.
If this is the courier of the future generations, the phone call to urge the parcel in more than three days will blow up, and thanks to Shangdu and Beijing are cities with developed railway traffic, if you want to send a package to a remote backcountry, it may take a month or two to receive it. .
"Report!"
The correspondent gave Zhou Cheng a salute, "Batch commander, I have your package."
During the training break, many eyes looked at each other.
It was really a big and heavy package, and Zhou Cheng felt the weight when he took it in his hand. Because Zhou Yanwang's temper had obviously improved after he came back from vacation, some soldiers dared to coax: "battalion commander, is there another good thing sent to you at home?"
Zhou Cheng is a very generous person. The people below all guessed that his family is in good condition, and his family misses him very much. Zhou Cheng often receives various packages. He's not stingy either, no matter what he eats, he will take out a share. The food standard of the troops depends on the specific situation. The food at the station where Zhou Cheng is located is not bad or not. There are a few large pieces of fat in the dishes. Soldiers have to train intensively and get hungry very fast.
Zhou Cheng's mother felt bad for him, and sent food to the army every ten days and a half. Zhou's father had said many times that specialization was not allowed, but Zhou's mother insisted on not changing it. When Zhou Cheng received the package, he usually took it out and distributed it to the soldiers below.
He has a lot of private money, but it is impossible to bring a luxurious style to the army.
Zhou Cheng lived as the other battalion commanders did, and tried not to attract attention in terms of food and clothing.
This time the package was not sent by Zhou's mother. As soon as he saw the address in Henan Province, Zhou Cheng knew it was Xia Xiaolan.
If you have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, his mother sent so many things to him, and Zhou Cheng gave them away without any pain. It was the first time Xia Xiaolan sent him something, and Zhou Cheng was reluctant to take it apart and give it to others. Look!
He took the package and left, "My daughter-in-law sent it, but I can't divide it between you."
Haha, battalion commander Zhou is joking again, he is such a generous person... Wait, does the battalion commander have a daughter-in-law?
Zhou Cheng has a target.
The news spread quickly in the group, and the old man, who had always been jealous of Zhou Cheng, smashed his fists.
"He's only 20 years old, what is he looking for?"
He's 30 years old, isn't he still single?
If you find a wife, you will be distracted and waste a lot of time on women. Will your passion for your career be dragged down?
Lao Fang clenched his fists secretly, and the 20-year-old Zhou Cheng had already found a partner. Maybe he shouldn't refuse those blind dates. Last time, the head of the regiment didn't say that he would introduce a lesbian, but Lao Fang refused at that time, and now he just wants to slap himself.
Lao Fang suddenly realized that if he didn't find a wife again, his son would fall behind Zhou Cheng's cub in the future.
"Captain, the lesbian you mentioned last time..."
"Go away, they have been married for a year, and the child is about to be born!"
The head of the regiment drove Lao Fang out, but Lao Fang refused to accept it.
Or is it Zhou Cheng's fault for finding someone at the age of 20?
...
Zhou Cheng carried a heavy package back to the dormitory.
Soldiers crowded into the collective dormitory, while cadres had single rooms. Zhou Cheng's rank had reached his level, so it was impossible for him to share a room with other people.
He opened the package and found that Xia Xiaolan had sent quite a lot.
Sheep shearing vests can be worn inside formal suits to protect the front chest and back and keep the body warm. These words were written in Xia Xiaolan's letter. Zhou Cheng was not most concerned about anything, and his first priority was to find Xia Xiaolan's letter.
Xia Xiaolan said in the letter what she had sent, and said that she was accompanied by her mother to Yangcheng to pick up the goods, and found that she had a light and warm duck down jacket. I don't know if Zhou Cheng could wear it when he was resting, so let's send one for now.
The duck down jacket was dark blue. Xia Xiaolan didn't know if Zhou Cheng had a chance to wear it, nor did she wear bright colors.
In addition to the two clothes, there were also a lot of sun-dried Xinzheng jujubes in the package, and several tin jars contained Xinyang Maojian. Xia Xiaolan also regretted that the postal delivery time was too busy. She originally wanted to send some marinated beef, but she was afraid that it would go bad after delivery, so she could only think of other ways to solve this problem.
"Sooner or later, a distance of thousands of kilometers can be reached in just a few hours. It doesn't matter if cooked food or even fresh food is sent between the two places."
Xia Xiaolan firmly believed this in the letter.
Zhou Cheng wondered how many years later would it take to send something by plane?
Even the most developed United States is not so prodigal.
She asked Zhou Cheng to eat and wear warm clothes, and she couldn't take care of her body just because she was young and healthy. She also said that she wanted to do some business with White Pearl, and asked Zhou Cheng if the girl was reliable.
White pearls?
It is Bai Zhiyong's younger sister.
Bai Zhiyong has been in the army for several years, and he was only promoted last year. He is a platoon leader in Zhou Cheng's camp.
This person's personal qualities are relatively outstanding, but his personality is very impulsive. He clearly had the opportunity to be promoted before, but was ruined by Bai Zhiyong's character... Such a person may not necessarily be a big official, and Zhou Cheng does not want to be a comrade-in-arms. He fought side by side, fearing that his heroism would emerge and ruin the plan at a critical moment. But as a friend, Zhou Cheng still trusts each other quite a bit. Bai Zhiyong is a person with clear grievances and grievances, and Zhou Cheng happens to be kind to him.
His sister should be trusted, right?
Zhou Cheng read the letter twice, reluctantly put down the letter, took off his jacket and tried on a sheep shearling vest.
Putting on the duck down jacket again, he was sweating profusely in a short time.
There was really no chance of wearing a duck down jacket in the army, so Zhou Cheng took off his clothes and hung them up. This is the intention of his daughter-in-law, but it can't be wrinkled or dirty. The sheep shearing vest can be worn under formal clothes. It is thin and close to the body. Zhou Cheng's movements will not affect his activities.
Xia Xiaolan sent a large package of red dates, and Xinyang Maojian also had several large jars. Zhou Cheng took out a red date and stuffed it in his mouth. It was sweet and glutinous, and the jujube pit was very small. After eating one, he couldn't help but stop after eating a few more - Zhou Cheng has a secret that is not easy to tell others, he likes sweets!
How heavy is his taste? The white flour steamed buns that have just come out of the pot are brushed with a thick layer of sesame paste, and sprinkled with a layer of soft white sugar... Zhou Cheng can eat a large plate by himself. When he was a child, he liked to eat with his fingers dipped in white sugar, and was cleaned up by his family. His father said that he was cowardly and naughty, and Zhou Cheng slowly corrected his addiction to sweets.
Oh, or hide deeper.
How did Xiaolan see that he likes sweets?
Could it be that the last time at the train station, when I bought dates for Xiaolan, I watched for too long?
Zhou Cheng took out another red date and put it in his mouth.
Don't care how to know, even if it's a coincidence, it means that Xiaolan is destined to be his daughter-in-law.
Cha Zhoucheng doesn't like it very much. When will he have to drink these cans of Xinyang Maojian? It is also a waste of Xiaolan's mind to put it away. Zhou Cheng thought about it, and sent a can to the head of the regiment when it was dark.
The head of the regiment teased him, "I heard that you are in a relationship?"
"Well, people from southern Henan, this tea was sent by my partner. I'll give you a taste."
There are five tins of tea in total. Like red dates, Xia Xiaolan prepared it so that Zhou Cheng could give it away. Eating alone is a bad behavior, and you need interpersonal communication everywhere... Of course, no matter what level you are in, you can at most share souvenirs with your immediate boss, and you can't directly skip the level to give gifts. Zhou Cheng never mentioned his rank to Xia Xiaolan. Xia Xiaolan thought he was a small soldier. At the age of 20, even if he was promoted, he would be a small platoon leader.
Zhou Cheng is the battalion commander!
He doesn't need to please too many people in the regiment, even the regimental leader, he has the ability, and he is also good to Zhou Cheng, only Zhou Cheng respects each other.
In addition to the regiment leader, Zhou Cheng and the 3rd battalion elder Fang did not deal very well, but the relationship with the 2nd battalion commander was not good enough, so he also shared a tin of tea for him.
What to do with the remaining 3 cans of tea?
Zhou Cheng couldn't give it to his subordinates, nor would he give it to the old Fang he hated.
After thinking about it, he packed two tins of tea, reluctantly separated half of the red dates, and forwarded them back to his home - a man has a wife and forgets his mother, but having a good wife is equally exciting. Zhou Cheng spends more time giving money directly, but less time when he buys things to bring home. The red dates and tea are distributed to other people, and his own parents and mothers can still taste it.
Where can a son like him be found, if he hadn't started quickly, how could his parents enjoy the filial piety of their daughter-in-law in advance.
Look at the elder Fang of the 3rd battalion, he doesn't even have a target, the parents at home are afraid that even their hair is gray!
