It was already past 11 o'clock when Lin Qingqing left the army. When she walked to the gate of the military courtyard, her sisters-in-law under the pine trees had all gone home to cook.
She returned home slowly.
There was white smoke coming from the chimney in the yard. Xiaomei had already started cooking. As soon as she walked in, she smelled the aroma of meat, which was chicken.
I haven’t changed my clothes since I went up the mountain today, and my body is itching.
"Xiaomei, is there still hot water at home?"
Xiaomei, who was busy in the kitchen, saw Lin Qingqing coming back, and her face was happy: "Yes, those two I've filled up the thermos bottle. I'll have to wash it before I feel comfortable after going up the mountain."
Lin Qingqing nodded, went to the yard to get a half-enamel basin of cold water, and brought it to the hall to pour half a bottle of hot water. , and entered his room.
The family bought a wooden bucket for bathing, but later Lin Qingqing found that bathing like this was still troublesome.
The main thing is to scoop out all the water and throw it away after taking a bath. Xiaomei doesn’t find it troublesome at all. Every time she takes a bath, she feels like she has been served by several masseurs, with a calm expression on her face. enjoy.
Lin Qingqing carried a basin of water every time and went to her room to take a bath.
She prefers showering, and feels refreshed all over after having it poured over her head.
Today was the same. As soon as she entered the room, she locked the door and then ducked into the space.
In the dormitory bathroom, she let the water wash down her head, and calmed down to think about it. Now she had succeeded in the first step, and there would be many more steps to follow until she was no longer in any danger.
Nowadays, having a senior military position is not absolutely safe. It is often exposed, and it will attract the attention of high-ranking people. Maybe someone will set some big trap on you.
Everything is still unknown, but no matter good or bad, she, Lin Qingqing, can handle it.
Feeling refreshed after taking a shower, Lin Qingqing put on a skirt. She had never worn it before when she went to the army in Shaanxi City and bought it in a department store in the city.
The background color of this Bragi is orange-red, with small white flowers dotted on it, which makes her jade-like skin a bit brighter.
The small V-neck design elongates her swan-like neck, which is noble and cool.
The elastic waist narrows her waist to a tight grip. The petal-shaped sleeves are the soul of the entire dress, and the style is unique and unique.
The bright facial features are combined with the bright colors, and the offensive power of the thick-faced appearance is directly displayed.
"Sister, you look great in this dress." Xiaomei stood at the door and exclaimed.
My cousin dresses very casually every day, but now she only changes into a skirt. It’s like...a fairy descended to the mortal world. She thinks this is the most appropriate description.
Lin Qingqing turned around, her waist-length black hair hanging behind her.
Xiaomei looked at her with stars in her eyes.
"Xiaomei, where are the herbs?"
I just came back and didn't see the three bags of herbs.
Xiaomei was immersed in Lin Qingqing's beauty attack. After a while, she pointed to the kitchen and said, "I'm afraid the sun will damage the yard, so I put it in the kitchen."
With that said, she turned around and went into the kitchen and took out the bucket.
Lin Qingqing came over and took a look. There was cold water underneath, and herbs separated by covers on top. Each herb was fresh and tender.

"You did the right thing."
She took out the herbs and put them in the basin under the water pump next to her, ready to process them.
"Sister, the chicken is ready in the pot. When my brother-in-law comes back for dinner, I will help you wash the herbs."
Seeing that Lin Qingqing was going to deal with the herbs, she offered to help .
Lin Qingqing: "This is not easy for you to handle."
Thinking of the intellectuals at the Shaanxi Military Academy who had problems handling herbal medicine, she didn't think Xiaomei could do it well. .
Xiaomei was a little anxious. She pinched her apron and said: "Sister, let me try it. If I can, I will wash the herbs in the future. You can teach me how to identify the herbs. I will listen." Sister-in-law Xiuhong said that the state-run drug store in the county sells herbal medicine, which costs 2 cents per kilogram. I want to make some money to send back home."
Her voice became quieter as she spoke... What did she say? I can't even give it to my cousin, and I still have to put in the effort to teach me.
Lin Qingqing put down the herbal medicine in her hand and said with a smile: "I can teach you, but it's up to you how much you can remember."
After saying that, she stood up and started from He took out two small benches in the hall, sat down himself, and asked Xiaomei to sit down as well.
She picked up a long-leaf herb and taught Xiaomei carefully: "This herb is called Wo Dong. Look at the black and green leaves. Only the leaves of this herb can be used as medicine."

"You first put the herbs in water to wash away the mud, then pinch off the heads and tails like this, leaving only the middle part of the leaves. If there are white spots, don't take them. Don't pinch off the leaves first and then wash them, so that the herbs will be The medicinal properties will be washed away by water. After processing the leaves, they can be used as medicine. It can remove liver fire and calm qi and blood."
Lin Qingqing demonstrated to her and explained the precautions. Medicinal properties.
He told her not to rub and wash the whole basket like washing vegetables, but to check leaf by leaf, and then let her start processing.
There are many herbs like this on the mountain behind, and Lin Qingqing also picked a lot of them. Let her try her hand at this common herb to see how far she can go.
Staring at Xiaomei's operation, she might be nervous and make mistakes. Lin Qingqing went to the hall to pour a glass of water and sat under the pergola to rest.
Song Yiyuan also came back near noon. When he walked in and saw Lin Qingqing, he frowned again.The shabby look he had in the morning, and now he looks like an otherworldly fairy. Colonel Lin is really... changeable.
He took out the envelope from his arms, walked under the pergola and put it on the stone table.
Lin Qingqing opened it and saw twenty unity sheets and a thick stack of bills, all of which were uncommon and rare bills.
Industrial tickets, cloth tickets, sugar tickets, cotton tickets, oil tickets, sewing tickets, soap tickets, these tickets are all large, some are several, and the last is thirty pounds of meat tickets. .
She put the money ticket back into the envelope, looked at Song Yiyuan, who was standing in front of her like a small umbrella, and asked: "Can you weave bamboo baskets? There are also bamboo baskets."
p>
Song Yiyuan squinted his eyes and shook his head.
"What do you want these for?"
"Go up the mountain or go to the town to buy things for packing, and for drying medicine." She pointed in Xiaomei's direction with her chin.
"Zhou Yuhui, in the afternoon I asked him to cut some thin bamboos to weave at home. Let him know how big you need and what style."
Lin Qingqing nodded and shouted Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, let's eat. We'll make the herbs in the afternoon."
"Okay." Xiaomei ran into the kitchen and brought out a large pot of pheasant stewed with mushrooms and a small pot of dry rice.
