Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 52: New Year's Eve, Coming Back

 Chu Xia nodded, with a smile on her lips, and said to An'an, "Grandma and Grandpa are also soldiers. If you want to learn more about soldiers, you can ask your grandparents."

She sees Cen Huai'an's avoidance of Jiang Shengnan and Father Cen. Since they have all come to the Northwest, Jiang Shengnan and Father Cen are both good people and love An'an, An'an can get in touch with them more to cultivate her feelings.

Jiang Shengnan immediately understands Chu Xia's intention and hurriedly picks up, "Yes, does An'an have anything she wants to ask?"

Cen Huai'an tilts his head, looks at Chu Xia and then at Jiang Shengnan. After thinking about it, he opens his mouth and asks, "Grandma, why do they all salute when they see you?"

Jiang Shengnan pointed to the four pockets on her clothes and said, "Because I have these. In the army, those with four pockets are officers. Unless there are special circumstances, soldiers will salute officers when they see them."

Cen Huai'an nodded as if he understood, but he still couldn't figure out what officers and soldiers were.

Jiang Shengnan seemed to understand his confusion and explained to him the difference between officers and soldiers in the army, as well as some military positions.

The three of them continued talking as they walked out of the army base.

The place where the troops are stationed is far away from the city, but there are villages nearby, and there is a large market within a half-hour walk.

During the recent New Year, the market is different from usual fixed days. It is held every day until the day before New Year's Eve, and then it takes a break for the holiday.

The large market in the countryside is very lively, with people setting up stalls on both sides of the road, and the middle of the road is crowded with people rushing to the market and all busy purchasing New Year's goods.

Chu Xia and Jiang Shengnan tightly held Cen Huai'an's hand, afraid that he would get lost in the crowd.

Cen Huai'an's small body was squeezed in the crowd, feeling that his face was about to deform, and because he was small, he couldn't see anything when he was blocked by the adults.

"Chu Xia, do you want to eat mutton?" Jiang Shengnan shouted loudly, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hear it because there were too many people and the noise was too loud.

"Eat!"

Mutton soup, mutton buns, cumin mutton, mutton with scallions, mutton kebabs, braised mutton chops ......

Thinking of all these mutton delicacies, Chu Xia can't help but gulp. Especially the lamb kebabs, she hasn't had them for a long time.

As soon as Chu Xia mentioned eating mutton, Jiang Shengnan forcefully squeezed the two of them to the stall selling fresh lamb next to them, where many people were watching the boss separate the lamb.

"Old Fu, I want a lamb! You pick one with tender meat and prepare it for me to send to the army."

Jiang Shengnan often came here to buy mutton, and spoke familiarly with Old Fu, who was selling mutton. Old Fu, holding a knife, looked up when he heard the voice. With a face full of whiskers, he smiled brightly and said, "Alright! I guarantee to deliver it to you by noon!"

Jiang Shengnan gave him a deposit, and she would give him the remaining money when he delivered it to the army.

Fresh lamb from the northwest is said to be different from lamb in other places. It doesn't have a strong smell and tastes extremely good.
