Chapter 16

◎Coming for you◎

Liu Susu originally planned to help Yu Hongying, but Yu Hongying asked her to rest, saying that her cooking skills were not very good, and the food was brought back from the canteen, as long as it was heated As long as it was hot, no help was needed. Liu Susu couldn't resist her, so she had to come out first.

As soon as I came out, I found Captain Zhang standing outside the yard. He remembered the method he had thought of using shoe glue to make pipes, so he hurriedly walked out. But before he got closer, he heard his name ringing, thinking that Mr. Zhong If he had anything to do with me, he would respond specifically.

Mr. Zhong was almost scared to death!

Sure enough, he was afraid of what he wanted. The more he didn't want to hear people asking about the results of Liu Susu's political review, the more people asked him. Now it wasn't just Han Lie who asked, even the leader of the group didn't know why he came to join in the fun.

Now it's good, not only the results of the political review, but also Liu Susu herself came over.

Mr. Zhong twitched his lips, thinking how unlucky he was today, "Xiao Liu, are you here? I have nothing to do with you, but I was a little surprised when I suddenly heard that Lao Zhang wanted you to undergo a political review."

Captain Zhang and Mr. Zhong We are comrades-in-arms. Although one became a civil servant and the other a military soldier later on, the relationship between them was still quite close, and they were not as particular as outsiders.

He waved his hand and said, "It's not a political review, but I plan to recruit Xiao Liu to work in our office."

"Yes...ah, what did you say?"

Mr. Zhong was stunned.

Just now, he was only focused on how to explain the political review and didn't hear clearly at all. Now he couldn't believe his ears: "You want to recruit Xiaoliu? But isn't there a shortage of people in your office?" He

asked this question Implicit, the actual meaning is that Liu Susu has what ability to enter the Military Affairs Office.

It's not that Commander Zhong doesn't like Liu Susu, but the work of the Military Affairs Office is too special. As long as you go to work, you are equivalent to being a member of the army, so you must ask carefully.

Captain Zhang was not afraid of him asking. He was worried that he had no place to show off. When Master Zhong asked, he immediately told Liu Susu the drip irrigation method he had thought of.

"...These are all things Xiaoliu has figured out, and her field has already started trials. You can see how good the results are just by going over there and taking a look. Do you think we should recruit Xiaoliu in?" Mr. Zhong

still has some questions. He didn't react: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Truer than real gold!"

Captain Zhang is not a braggart. If he dares to guarantee this, it means that it is absolutely true.

Then why should we ask? As long as drip irrigation can not only save water, but also increase crop yields, as they said, let alone recruiting Liu Susu to work, they will just set up another office and let Liu Susu be the boss. no problem!

Food is the most important thing for the people.

Especially in a place where there are so many people in the army, having food and drink is the biggest headache for Commander Zhong. Although they can farm here and everyone has land, due to insufficient production, they have to go out to buy a lot of grain every year. This alone requires a lot of expenditure, and it is all wasted money!

Where does this money come from? It is not allocated by the state.

Not to mention that Commander Zhang felt embarrassed when he reported production every year, and even Commander Zhong was particularly embarrassed when requesting funding. Every year, their military region's expenditures were among the top.

Soldiers have a strong sense of honor. Who doesn't want to save money for the country, but there is no other way. You can't starve the soldiers just for that little bit of face, right?

Mr. Zhong was in great pain!

But if we could increase production, wouldn't all these problems be solved? Not only would we be full, but we could also save military expenses. For a moment, Commander Zhong's eyes were shining when he looked at Liu Susu.

It's not an exaggeration, it's really shining.

It was exactly the same as when Captain Zhang first heard about it.

Liu Susu coughed slightly uncomfortably, thinking that for people nowadays, there is really nothing more important than food.

She nodded: "What Commander Zhang said is true. As long as this method can be implemented throughout the military region, the output can increase by at least 20%."

This is still a conservative estimate. After all, due to the lack of water, the fields had insufficient nutrients. Most of the crops can be grown in the previous season. Even if they can barely grow the second season, they will basically be empty shells if there is a drought.

Mr. Zhong clapped his hands suddenly: "That's great! Xiao Zhang, you and Xiao Liu should start working on this now. Before May, it's best to try to win another season after the double grab!"

"I do, but the bamboo pipe issue has not been resolved yet..." Before Captain Zhang finished speaking, Liu Susu's voice suddenly came over: "Captain, I came to you just to tell you about this matter. I've thought of a way to handle the matter."

"Have you thought of it? What way!" Captain Zhang asked quickly.

Liu Susu pointed down: "Look at your shoes."

Both of them lowered their heads involuntarily and stared at the shoes for a long time. It was nothing. Aren't they just the Jiefang shoes they usually wear most?

"Can shoes be made into water pipes?" Captain Zhang looked confused.

"It's not the shoes, it's the glue on the front of the shoes."

"Glue?"

Liu Susu nodded: "Yes, the glue is not only hard, but also cheap. You don't have to worry about the price." Part of the farmland belongs to the military, even if it has to be used throughout the entire For military region promotion, the military side must charge a fee. At this time, the price issue must be considered. If it is too expensive, many people will definitely be reluctant to part with it.

But how much does a pair of Jiefang shoes cost? This glue is not expensive no matter how much you think!

"That's right!" Captain Zhang suddenly realized, "Xiao Liu, you are so smart that you can think of this method!"

Master Zhong was also amazed. At first, he thought it was Captain Zhang who made the decision, but Liu Susu I was just helping him. Now it seems that what I thought was completely the opposite. Liu Susu was obviously the one who came up with the idea.

"As expected of a junior college student!" Mr. Zhong sighed sincerely.

Captain Zhang was surprised: "Xiao Liu, you are still a college student!"

"What college student? Xiao Liu is a college student, Lao Zhong, why didn't you tell me!" Yu Hongying was about to come out to call them to eat when she heard this sentence , was surprised at that time.

Liu Susu smiled helplessly. When she saw Han Lie coming over, she lowered her voice and said, "You are right." It

seemed that Han Lie was right not to tell her academic qualifications before. If this spread to everyone, , everyone will be surprised, then she really can't live quietly.

Han Lie understood what she meant and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone is talking about me only."

Liu Susu was about to ask what she meant, but the next second she saw Yu Hongying, who had figured out the cause and effect, patted Han Lie with a sigh: " Xiao Han, you are so lucky!"

Han Lie raised his eyebrows at Liu Susu, who couldn't help but laugh.

At the dinner table, several people talked about irrigation again. While talking and eating, it inevitably took a long time. After eating, they saw that several children were yawning, so Liu Susu and Han Lie took them back first. Anyway, I'm going to work tomorrow, we'll talk about it then.

They left first, but Captain Zhang stayed behind and was drinking with Master Zhong.

Commander Zhong sighed: "Old Zhang, I'm so happy. If the method Xiaoliu said can really work, then we will have food this year."

Captain Zhang took a sip of wine and squinted: "Who says it's not the case? ?"

He was also happy, and it wasn't just the two of them. If the news got out, everyone would definitely be happy.

"I thought it was unreliable that Xiao Han suddenly ran back to marry a wife. Now that I think about it, luckily I didn't stop him. If Xiao Liu hadn't come, how could such a good thing have happened?" Mr. Zhong

Yue said . The more I think about it, I think it's right, "You're lucky, too. You happened to find Xiao Liu and recruit her, otherwise you wouldn't have had the chance to accomplish this." "

That's not true. At that time, the chief of staff wanted to steal people from me. Fortunately, Xiao Liu himself I am willing."

Mr. Zhong nodded: "But Xiaoliu is a female comrade. She is young and a college student. It must be very hard to work in the fields. You have to increase the salary for others, but you can't treat them badly."

" Do you need to say this?" Captain Zhang asked.

Yu Hongying and her son were cleaning up the dishes together. She rolled her eyes when they heard what they said: "Xiao Liu hasn't officially started working yet, and you guys have just negotiated your salary."

"That's right." The two of them were stunned, and Zhang Tuan He said, "Old Zhong, this is a problem for you. Please help me pass Xiaoliu's employment application as soon as possible."

Mr. Zhong: "..."

Doesn't he want to pass it quickly, but now the political review just can't be passed!

Mr. Zhong couldn't sit still anymore. He went to the office early the next morning and urged Political Commissar Zhao to call there again. They must send back the results of Liu Susu's political review as soon as possible. The sooner the better!

Seeing how anxious he was, Political Commissar Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Han is urging you again?"

"Now it's more serious than Xiao Han urging me!"

Han Lie urged him because he just wanted to report the marriage as soon as possible. Can this be done? Wait, after all, the two of them didn't testify, and no one except him knew.

But Liu Susu's work cannot be delayed any longer, as it is related to the future of the entire military region!

Mr. Zhong, can you not be anxious?

He called directly and asked the other party to complete all the political review matters for him within three days no matter what. The other party paused and then said: "Mr. Zhong, it's really not that we are putting off doing it, but that we are dragging it out. The investigation found that Comrade Liu Susu's father is still alive."

When the phone turned on, Master Zhong and Political Commissar Zhao were stunned.

"Is this confirmed?"

This was the reason Liu Susu's previous political review failed. Her file stated that her father had sacrificed her life in her early years, and she had been regarded as a child of martyrs for so many years. It was nothing at first, but after checking the results, Something went wrong.

Found it didn't match.

This meant that her father might still be alive, but he had never been sure before. This was the first time that Mr. Zhong heard them give such a definite answer.

"It's confirmed. But the information is still under investigation."

——Liu

Susu didn't know that Master Zhong and others were in trouble because of her. After sending several children to Chen Nan's house, she went to the Military Affairs Office and found them directly. Captain Zhang.

Captain Zhang is responsible for agricultural affairs in the entire military region. In addition to him, there are four people in the office, all clerks. Before Liu Susu went there, he had already introduced her to everyone, so as soon as she came in, she immediately gained something. I met four star-eyed colleagues.

"Comrade Liu, you are really amazing, you can think of such a good idea!" Xiao Wang was the first to speak.

"Yes, if it really works, then we won't have to worry when we submit food reports next year."

Liu Susu was still a little worried about the relationship between colleagues, but now she felt relieved. Captain Zhang said: "You The political review has not come down yet, and the job application has not been approved yet, so I am considered a temporary worker for the time being, but don't worry, the treatment and everything are the same as regular workers. Once the political review comes, the job will be approved immediately."

Liu Susu smiled and nodded. : "Okay!"

She wasn't worried about this at all.

After everyone chatted, they could get down to business.

"As for the rubber hose you mentioned, we can't find it now. I asked Xiaoqian and others to go to the rubber shoe factory this afternoon and communicate with them to see if they can produce it. As for the price, it can be easily negotiated. "Xiao Liu, you and Xiao Wang will be responsible for measuring the length and calculating the minimum distance we need to make the pipeline."

After all, Captain Zhang has been working for so many years and can quickly tell everything.

Liu Susu nodded.

Because they were not sure whether the military families would be willing to install water pipes, they planned to start with the measurements on the military fields and install them here first when the pipelines came. After the military families saw the effect, they would then decide whether to spend the money.

After spending a day measuring, when she returned at five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Susu saw a small figure at the door of Chen Nan's house from a long distance away. When she got closer, she found that it was indeed Han Jin.

The little guy was sitting on a small bench with a hat on his head, staring straight into the distance. The serious look on his face made Liu Susu feel sour.

"Xiao Jin." Liu Susu walked over. When Han Jin heard the familiar voice, he immediately turned his head. His eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't care about his little bench and ran towards Liu Susu quickly. .

If it was Han Qian or Han Cheng, he would have jumped on her and hugged her tightly, but Han Jin didn't dare. He just opened his big clear eyes, looked at Liu Susu happily, stretched out his little Holding her fingers tightly, Liu Susu shyly shouted: "Auntie."

Liu Susu's heart almost melted, she held him in her arms and kissed the little guy loudly on the face: "How are you? Do you miss your aunt?"

Han Jin nodded vigorously without thinking.

"Mom! You're back!" Han Cheng, who was playing in the yard, also discovered Liu Susu and ran out quickly. As soon as he came, the remaining children also chased him out. After a while, Liu Susu had several hanging on her body. A child.

"Sister-in-law, you're back so early." Chen Nan also came out with her youngest son in her arms.

"It's late. I don't have time to come back at noon today. Thank you for your hard work today. They didn't make any noise, did they?" Liu Susu said with a smile.

"Why are they so noisy? They are all well-behaved." Chen Nan said with a smile, "I can handle it even if you put them here to sleep tonight." "

That's not possible, Aunt Chen, although I like you and I like Tie very much." Brother Dan, my mother is my favorite. We haven't seen each other for a day, so don't separate us." Han Cheng said immediately.

Chen Nan was amused by him and kept laughing. Liu Susu pinched his little face and said, "Don't worry, you are so good at eating. Aunt Chen is willing to ask me for it. I'm embarrassed."

Liu Susu originally planned to go back directly, but after thinking about it, she said : "I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, do you want to go with me?"

"Okay, let's go." Chen Nan didn't have dinner so early. After being bored at home all day, Chen Nan really wanted to go for a walk.

The two set off with their children. Liu Susu wanted to go buy meat. Now the little red stars of several children are full, especially Han Cheng, who has been clamoring to eat meat for several days. Today I have time, and the family has not eaten meat for a few days. It is a good time to take this opportunity. Opportunity to buy some.

There are many people in the military area, and the supply and marketing cooperative is also large. Although there is only one floor, there are all the things that should be inside. However, there is no pork to sell. They were all robbed early in the morning. Liu Susu saw the bucket. There was also a half-dead bass that was about to be killed.

"This is nothing new." Chen Nan said.

"I can't help it. The children are clamoring for meat." Liu Susu paid for it. Fish is also meat, and it should taste good if it is cooked well.

Chen Nan winked at her, and Liu Susu followed her suspiciously. As soon as she leaned against the shelf, a round-faced salesperson came over. After chatting with Chen Nan for a few words, she said, pigs will be slaughtered in the slaughterhouse tomorrow. If you want fresh pork, come here early, I'm sure there's fat left to buy.

Liu Susu realized that this must be Chen Nan's sister-in-law. It seems that working in a supply and marketing cooperative is a good thing, as you can know all the news in advance.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Chen Nan thanked her before the two of them went back.

When she got home, Liu Susu did not deal with the fish immediately, but waved several children over.

Han Cheng already knew what his mother was going to do, so he ran over to him most actively and said, "Mom, are you going to hold an award ceremony?"

Liu Susu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't expect that he would still remember what he said casually. He smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's the award ceremony. Now that all your stars are full, except for Xiaojin, do you three want to change the stars?"

Han Qian thought more comprehensively and asked first He said: "What will happen if you change everything? Mom."

"If you change the mother, the little red star will be torn off. If you want to realize any wish, you have to save it from scratch."

Han Qian stared at his name, There was a row of little stars behind it, which looked really nice. If they were all torn off, they would be bare, but he wanted money very much...

When Han Qian was entangled, Han Cheng said directly without thinking: "Mom, I I want to change, I want to eat meat!"

"Okay, but I only bought fish tonight."

"I want fish too!" The fish soup made by his mother last time was so delicious. He was very greedy. Thinking of that delicious food Han Cheng couldn't help but ran over with his short legs and tore off all the little red stars. Just as he was about to hand it to Liu Susu, he suddenly thought of something and asked again: "Mom, I am the only one who can eat that meat." Or does everyone have it?"

"What you exchanged for the stars is of course yours. You can give it to whoever you want, even if you don't want to give it to yourself."

Han Cheng rolled his eyes smartly and ran to Han Xiuxiu. Next to her: "Sister, why don't you change today? I'll give you the fish to eat. When you use the little red star to exchange for meat next time, can you also share it with me?"

Liu Susu was slightly startled, then laughed. , I didn't expect that Han Cheng, who was stupid before, would now use his brain.

This is good. Although the child's carelessness means he lives a happy life, it is not good to be too careless. I think in the original work, he was just too single-minded, which is why he ended up like that.

Of course Han Xiuxiu agreed.

After Liu Susu took back Little Red Star, she went to cook. Han Jin followed her every step of the way, not even paying attention to the chickens outside.

Liu Susu knew that the child had not seen her for a day, and she was still a little worried, so she did not let him go out. Instead, she brought a small stool over and said, "Xiaojin will help auntie light the fire here, okay?" " Okay

."

There were relatively few, but the family was full of children. Liu Susu didn't dare to take risks, so she simply cut off the piece with less spines, processed the spines and made them into fish balls, and combined them with the pickled Chinese cabbage in the jar to make sour fish. Pill soup.

The back, which has more thorns, can be fried in oil and made into a braised dish, which she and Han Lie can eat.

While Liu Susu was cooking inside, Han Cheng was still doing business with Han Qian: "Brother, do you want to eat my fish? If you give me 15 cents, I will give you the meat."

Han Qian Of course he wants to eat meat, but money is his life! He couldn't bear to spend it himself. If he gave so much to Han Cheng, it would hurt his body to death!

The little money fan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, you are my brother. Don't brothers have to help each other? There are so many fishes that you can't finish by yourself, so it would be great for me to help you."

Han Cheng shook his head: "If you can't finish it, I can leave it and eat it tomorrow. I can also take it to Goudan to exchange marbles. Goudan is envious that I can eat the food cooked by my mother."

Since the last time, the meat floss After eating the cake, he became the most enviable child.

Han Qian: "..."

Brother, you have changed. You are no longer the easy fool.

He gritted his teeth: "Two cents, I'll give it to you."

Han Cheng waved his little hand: "One cent and four cents! This is the lowest price!"

"Three cents!",

"No, just four cents!"

The two were in a stalemate. Seeing that their mother's meal was about to be ready, if they continued arguing, one would not get the money and the other would not get the meat. The two became anxious and suddenly ran to Han Xiuxiu.

"Sister, what do you think we should do!"

Han Xiuxiu, who was feeding the chickens, was stunned and suddenly panicked. No one had ever asked her what she thought before. She always did what others told her. She was a little anxious. He pinched the corner of his clothes and was about to say that he didn't know when he suddenly met the expectant eyes of his two younger brothers.

"Ask me?" Han Xiuxiu felt a little unnatural.

Han Cheng nodded repeatedly and said matter-of-factly: "Of course, you are my sister and you must be smarter than us. You are right to ask!"

Han Qian also nodded.

Han Xiuxiu pursed her lips. She was anxious and felt that she was a sister and could not let her brother down. She thought about it and asked her aunt. She was so smart and must know everything.

She rushed into the kitchen quickly, and Liu Susu was frying fish. She put the fish into pieces into the oil pan, and there was a crackling sound. Han Xiuxiu called her aunt, and then she realized: "What's wrong with Xiuxiu?"

Han Xiuxiu came over: "Auntie, Xiao Cheng wanted to use his fish to exchange money with Xiao Qian, but the two of them had a fight. They asked me what to do, but I didn't know."

Liu Susu thought for a while and moved towards her. Waved: "Look, here is the fish ball soup that my aunt made for Xiao Cheng. If you want to exchange money, what do you think it should be?"

Of course this question is nothing to Liu Susu, but she doesn't want to tell Han Xiu directly The answer is that the little girl lacks self-confidence for a long time. Tempting her to come up with a solution on her own will give her a greater sense of accomplishment. As time goes by, she will think about solving whatever problems she encounters by herself.

Han Xiuxiu bit her lip in distress, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she said: "The fish balls come one by one, Auntie, can you ask Xiao Qian to buy them from Xiao Cheng for two cents a piece? In this way, he is willing to pay You can eat as much as you want."

Liu Susu pretended to be surprised: "Of course! Xiuxiu is so smart, I didn't even think of this method. Go tell your brother."

The nervousness on Han Xiuxiu's face disappeared immediately, and she ran happily After going out, when it was time to eat, in addition to what he originally promised to share with her, Han Cheng also specially gave her some more fish balls, "Sister, this is the reward for helping me."

Biting the tender fish balls, the little girl The smile on his face became more obvious.

Han Lie, who came back late, was confused when he saw this scene, but he didn't need to ask any more questions. He handed the two children to Liu Susu, and he felt relieved.

After dinner, he washed the dishes as usual. Liu Susu was drawing drawings of the bathroom and toilet. She was thinking about trying to build a biogas tank outside the toilet.

There are many reasons for low crop yields. In addition to water, fertilizers can be improved.

Fertilizer is not cheap, and if you can build a biogas digester, you can get rid of the money.

This is what Liu Susu is good at, but this thing is much more difficult to make than a water pipe, and it may explode if you are not careful, so I will try it at home now. It happens that they have a vegetable garden. When the vegetables grow, it happens to be lack of fertilizer. when used.

While he was painting, Han Lie said: "Xiaojun and I have agreed that we will go to the brick factory tomorrow to pull bricks, and we will start work after work tomorrow."

Liu Susu nodded: "Okay, I will come back early tomorrow afternoon, and you can keep everyone at home. Want to have a meal? How many people are there?"

"Five." Yesterday I heard that their family was going to build a house, and many people offered to help. They were all soldiers, half-grown young men, and they had a lot to eat. They had to feed so many people, and he was afraid that Liu Susu would be tired. She asked, "Why don't you just go to the canteen and buy it?"

"No, I have a way." When she went to the field for exploration in the past, she could handle a team of more than a dozen people. Now that she has everything at home, she is not afraid of not having anything. Is this possible?

I happened to make an appointment with Chen Nan to buy meat early tomorrow morning, and Liu Susu got up early the next day.

I got up early today and got hungry easily. Liu Susu thought about it and finally decided to make cold noodles to appetize and relieve hunger.

We don't have Fuqiang flour at home, so we can only make it with cornmeal. The taste may not be as good, but now we don't have the conditions to pay so much attention.

Knead the flour into a dough. After it wakes up for a while, you can start washing the dough. You need more water to wash the dough, pot by pot, until the water is not turbid when the dough is put in.

The rest is the gluten, steam it in a pot, let it cool, and then boil water in the pot.

I don't have special tools for making cold noodles at home, but it is popular to make rice noodles in my hometown. It is a disc-shaped aluminum pot. Pour the flour water into it and steam it for a few minutes, and you will have a soft and smooth dough.

Liu Shurong was afraid that Liu Susu would not be able to eat well in the military area with her children, so she even brought this kind of disc with her, which would come in handy.

Wait until the dough is ready and cut into sections. Finally, add some red oil chili sauce and seasonings to taste. Stir the gluten and garlic shreds into it evenly. When Liu Susu took it out, several children's eyes almost fell into the bowl.

The hot color is the most likely to arouse appetite, especially for little ones who have been hungry all night. There is no need to think about how lethal the spicy and sour cold skin is.

Even Han Jin ate everything in the bowl, and Han Lie even ate two big bowls. Fortunately, Liu Susu knew that he had a big appetite and cooked enough, otherwise he wouldn't have enough to eat.

His stomach was full, and Han Lie was in a good mood. In other words, he had never been hungry since Liu Susu came. It seemed that no matter what was in her hands, it would become particularly delicious.

Just as he was about to go out, Liu Susu stopped him again: "It's early to eat today, and you have to go to the county. Take a bite when you're hungry."

Han Lie looked at the peach cake wrapped in oil paper, feeling extremely happy. He lowered his eyes and looked at Liu Susu who was looking up at him. He felt his heart was warm and wanted to say something. But when he thought of the marriage report that had not been approved yet, he could only slide his Adam's apple and speak. Swallowed it back.

"Okay, I'm leaving first."

"Be safe." Liu Susu waved to him, went back to the house and counted some money, then asked the children to stay at home and went to find Chen Nan.

They got up too early today. After eating, it was dark outside. There was only a hazy skylight in the distance. Liu Susu estimated that it was just before six o'clock. It was so dark that it was naturally inconvenient to bring the children out.

After waiting at the door for a while, Chen Nan came out, still carrying Tiedan on his back.

Liu Susu was startled: "Why don't you just leave him at home?"

"There's no way. There's no guarantee that the child will wake up. He'll have to take care of him as soon as he wakes up. I can't count on Niudan and Xiaotian." The

four or five-year-old child is indeed There was no hope, so Liu Susu helped her pull down Tiedan's hat and protect the child's face: "Why don't you let your mother-in-law take care of you for a while."

Tiedan is still so young, and the three children of Lu Lingzhi's family Even though they are so old, my mother-in-law is still here.

Chen Nan sighed: "I was in confinement before, and my mother took care of me."

Liu Susu understood, and seeing that she didn't want to say more, she changed the subject: "By the way, Xiao Nan, this money is for you. Several children are at your home. I don't know if the meal is enough, so you can make a note of it from now on, and we'll get married once a week."

Chen Nan helped her take care of the children, and sometimes even had to eat. It was a big help, and she definitely couldn't do nothing.

Liu Susu began to think about whether to give something as a gift, but she felt that there was no real money to give anything. She didn't know how much she should give, so she specifically asked Han Lie about the standards for eating in the cafeteria and then looked at what was given.

Chen Nan quickly said no. Han Lie had saved Xing Xiaojun when he went on a mission. If it hadn't been for him, Xing Xiaojun would have been injured and transferred to another job. How could he still stay in the army?

"They are them, we are us, brothers have to settle accounts clearly, you must not be polite in this regard, I will not dare to ask you for help if I don't give it to you." Liu Susu must give it.

Chen Nan had trouble holding the child, so she stuffed it into her pocket. In the end, she could only sigh and answer: "Okay, thank you sister-in-law."

"I should be the one to say thank you." Liu Susu Afraid that she would continue to refuse, he said something else, "This is too dark. Do you have to buy meat so early in the future?"

Chen Nan smiled and said, "You will understand when you go to the supply and marketing cooperative later."

Liu Susu didn't know what she meant at first, but when she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, her steps suddenly froze.

Good guy, this is not called a supply and marketing cooperative, it should be called a vegetable market! No, it's simply more lively than the vegetable market.

I saw three heads of pork on the shelf, still steaming. A large number of people crowded forward, waving tickets in their hands, shouting at the top of their lungs how many kilograms of meat and oil they wanted, for fear that the salesperson wouldn't listen. To the same.

It was too noisy and couldn't go on like this. The salesman put down his knife and shouted: "Hurry up and line up, no one can buy it unless you line up!" The

salesmen these days have such a great power, but no one can buy it! Don't dare offend yet.

When the crowd calmed down a little, Liu Susu and the others squeezed in. She breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you so crazy about buying meat?"

Chen Nan nodded: "There is no way, there is less meat, and everyone wants more. Once If there is meat on any day, it will be absolutely packed."

Nowadays, you need a ticket to buy meat. If you don't need a ticket, you probably won't even see the meat foam.

Although there were many people, they arrived early. In the end, they not only weighed two kilograms of meat, but also bought three kilograms of fat. The white oil was perfect for refining lard.

However, this trip also directly spent all the meat tickets at home for a month.

Han Lie is the deputy leader. He can get four kilograms of meat tickets every month, and there is still one kilogram saved from before. Chen Nan's family is even worse, with only two kilograms. She wants to buy all the meat, but the meat is gone as soon as she eats it. So I had to make up my mind to buy another pound of oil and refine it into lard. At least it would have a meaty flavor when frying the vegetables.

Liu Susu also bought two chickens. There was no ticket to buy the chickens, but they were expensive. She didn't buy them to eat, but to lay eggs.

The four chickens at home are still too young. I don't know if I can raise two pounds of meat during the Chinese New Year. Eggs are not cheap, so I just gritted my teeth and bought old hens.

But if there are too many chickens, there will definitely not be enough earthworms to eat, and there are only three-thirds of the vegetable garden, and several children have almost finished digging it. Liu Susu thought for a while and asked Chen Nan if he wanted to dig wild vegetables in the mountains.

Now is the season when there are a lot of wild vegetables. If they taste good, you can eat them yourself, and if they don't taste good, you can use them to feed the chickens.

"Okay, let's go tomorrow?"

Tomorrow is the weekend and Liu Susu has time since she doesn't have to go to work.

The two agreed, and Liu Susu was going to boil lard when they got home and treat people to dinner in the evening. Rapeseed oil alone would definitely not work. The lard was fragrant and more sincere.

As soon as she entered the yard, she was suddenly stunned.

After returning from the "battle" at the supply and marketing cooperative, it was already dawn. Several children were feeding chickens in the yard. There was a woman standing in front of them, teasing Han Cheng with candy.

Han Cheng, the snack foodie, was ready to take the candy when he saw it. Liu Susu frowned: "Han Cheng."

"Mom? You're back." When several children saw Liu Susu coming back, they all ran over, but Han Cheng was still standing there, introducing her enthusiastically: "Mom, this is the aunt upstairs. Today Just came back."

The aunt upstairs?

Liu Susu guessed that she was Aunt Cai's daughter without even thinking about it. This might not have been a big deal when she first came here, but since the last time she heard Lu Lingzhi say that Aunt Cai had been trying to match up her daughter with Han Lie, she had I couldn't help but become more cautious.

"Comrade Liu Susu, hello, my name is Cai Tao."

Liu Susu raised her eyebrows. This title was quite new. After coming to the military region, those with lower rankings than Han Lie or those who were older called her Xiaoliu, while the rest Just call her sister-in-law. This is the first time someone calls her that.

She smiled: "Hello, Comrade Cai Tao, calling me by name is too unfamiliar. Why don't you call me sister-in-law? We are close to each other anyway." As

expected, the smile on Cai Tao's face faltered as soon as she finished speaking.

Liu Susu heard from Lu Lingzhi that Cai Tao was from a cultural troupe. She went to perform with the troupe before and she must have just come back.

Liu Susu didn't believe that someone like Aunt Cai would not tell her about the grievances between the two families. Under such circumstances, Cai Tao could run to their house as soon as she came back, which was obviously not a good intention.

She still had a lot of things to do, so she didn't bother to deal with her, so she just called a few children into the house.

Anyway, this person is here for Han Lie, so let Han Lie solve it by himself, it has nothing to do with her.

Even though his mother was calling for help, Han Cheng didn't dare to take the candy anymore, so he could only smile at Cai Tao and run away quickly.

Cai Tao was left alone with a pale face.

In fact, Liu Susu guessed wrong this time, and Cai Tao really came after her.

Chapter 17

◎Unhappiness between husband and wife◎

Cai Tao will come to Liu Susu because she met a man before, Li Yugui.

Cai Tao is from the art troupe, but the art troupe is also divided into levels. Cai Tao has average appearance and average ability. After so many years, she only got a spot in the choir. That's why Aunt Cai is so anxious to find someone for her. home, otherwise I will have to go back to my hometown when I get older.

But Cai Tao has a high vision. Even if her conditions are not good, she still wants to find a good one. It seems that only Han Lie is worthy of her, but she doesn't want to be a stepmother, so let Aunt Cai think The solution was to ask Han Lie to send the two children back and go perform with the troupe first.

Cai Tao felt that her method was very reliable. After all, she had seen those two children before, one was gloomy, and the other was a yellow-haired girl. Whoever liked it didn't like it. I heard that she had been away for so long that she didn't even want to call Han Lie "Dad". Han Lie is a grown man, but he is not a Bodhisattva. It is strange that he likes him.

Moreover, she is in the art troupe, her brother is also the deputy leader, and her mother works in the cafeteria, so Han Lie will definitely be willing to be with her.

The place where Cai Tao went to perform this time was also a military zone in the north. As soon as she went there, she called Aunt Cai and told her that she would tell her if there was good news.

After waiting for a while, I was waiting for a call, but it was not good news, but a message from Aunt Cai: "Han Lie took leave to go back to his hometown, and said he wanted to go back to get married!"

Cai Tao suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning, and couldn't believe it at all. She felt that Aunt Cai was lying to him about this matter. Han Lie had not gotten married for so long, and she had never heard that he had a lover. How could he suddenly go back and get married?

"Impossible mother, he might have gone back to visit relatives. Those people are talking nonsense. It's impossible to get married!" Cai Tao said firmly.

She refused to believe it, and Aunt Cai herself thought it was impossible, so she said she would have a look.

But after waiting for a few days, the phone call came again. This time, as soon as the call was connected, without waiting for Cai Tao to ask, Aunt Cai said that Han Lie was really married, and even brought the woman over.

"... He has a foxy face and two sons with him. He is very mean. As soon as he came back, he wanted me to return the vegetable garden. Who is he? I am still the elder. I don't care at all. Know the etiquette!"

Aunt Cai was thinking about the vegetable garden that was taken back, and while on the phone, she scolded Liu Susu.

Cai Tao had no intention of comforting her. She didn't care about the vegetable garden at all. She only thought about Han Lie getting married: "Why did he get married? Why did Han Lie get married all of a sudden!" "

Oh, you're scared to death. " I'm killing you, you damn girl, what are you yelling at!" Aunt Cai was startled and wanted to scold her, but Cai Tao was no longer in the mood to listen, so she hung up the phone and walked out in despair.

At this moment, a figure stopped her: "Are you from the art troupe?"

Cai Tao was already in a bad mood, and she didn't know the person in front of her, so she immediately wanted her to go away, but the other person's next words were: "I I heard you say Han Lie's name. Why, are you from the Southwest Military Region?"

Cai Tao's face changed: "Do you know Han Lie?"

"Yes?" The other party raised an eyebrow, "Of course I do. Not only do I know him, I You still know his lover, Liu Susu, right?"

Cai Tao was dumbfounded at once. He had just learned Liu Susu's name from Aunt Cai, how could this person know it?

"How are you doing, are you interested in chatting?"

Cai Tao hurriedly followed. The more she looked at this man, the more confused she became. She didn't know who this man was and how he knew Han Lie so well.

If Han Lie were here, he would immediately recognize that this person was Li Yugui, who married him but suddenly broke up the marriage unconditionally.

Why Li Yugui appears here starts with her sudden regret of marriage.

When Second Aunt Han was about to propose marriage to Han Lie at the beginning, it was no exaggeration to say that everyone in the commune wanted to get involved in the marriage. Some people in the county even heard about it and wanted to come over and give it a try.

The reason is simple. There is no profession more popular and more reassuring than the military these days. What's more, Han Lie is still a deputy commander. He is young, never married, and the two children he brings are left behind by his comrades. , although it's not good to have children, it doesn't matter.

Later, Aunt Han felt that she wanted to find a rural daughter-in-law who was honest, could manage the family, and could follow her wholeheartedly to join the army. In addition, Li Yugui's mother ruthlessly gave many benefits to the matchmaker in order to get a good match, so that she Second Aunt Han fell in love with Li Yugui.

In fact, Li Yugui was very satisfied with this marriage. Although she hadn't seen Han Lie for a long time, she still remembered that when Han Lie came back to visit relatives a few years ago, he was dressed in neat military uniform, tall figure, and deep and straight facial features. , just a glance at it made her heart beat fast.

Li Yugui was overjoyed at the thought of marrying Han Lie, but she was so happy that she accidentally fell down and hit her head on the wardrobe. Then she fainted. When she woke up again, Li Yugui looked at his obviously different hands and realized that he had been reborn.

After clearing her memory, the first thing she did was to break off her engagement with Han Lie!

At that time, a banquet was still being held at Aunt Han's house. Li Yugui's parents were extremely happy when they thought that they had found a son-in-law who would be the leader of the regiment. They were even happier than Han Lie himself. But before the wedding wine was finished, they suddenly heard Li Yugui say He wants to break off the engagement and she will not get married.

Li's mother was dumbfounded: "What are you talking about, you damn girl? Are you stupid? You refused such a good marriage!"

Li Yugui wiped her face and said, "I'm not stupid."

On the contrary, she was sober as never before.

Yes, she used to think that this marriage was a good one. Han Lie had a high allowance and a high position, and he was good-looking. When she went to join the army with him, she didn't even have to take care of her parents-in-law. So what if they had two children, and they were not her biological children. She was not afraid at all. .

She married Han Lie with such expectations, thinking that from then on she would become the wife of the high-ranking regiment leader and live a good life. However, as soon as she joined the army, Han Lie went on a mission and left her two children behind. Gave it to her.

At first, Li Yugui thought the two children were nothing, but after only two days of getting along, she realized that the two children were nothing short of devils!

The girl named Zhaodi was better. She didn't talk to the men, but she was very quick with her hands and feet. She would do whatever she was asked to do. But the one named Nian Su looked like... to put it bluntly, he looked like a fool. He had a scar as big as a slap on his face, and he looked scarier than the ghost in the storybook.

Every time Li Yugui saw him, he would be frightened. Sometimes he would not even be allowed to eat at the table for fear of scaring himself.

In this case, Li Yugui certainly wouldn't like them. She felt that as long as she didn't starve the two of them and let them eat and drink, it would be good. Her top priority now was to have her own child with Han Lie.

But Han Lie went on missions every three days and never came home. How could she have a child? Before she could find a way to cultivate a good relationship with Han Lie, there was another problem at home - her brother hit someone, and the other party wanted to report to the police and arrest him.

Li's mother tried every means to find a good match for Li Yugui, not because she liked her very much, but because she wanted to have a regimental leader and son-in-law to support her in the future. As soon as this happened, didn't she immediately think of Li Yugui?

Although Han Lie went on a mission, Li Yugui knew where the family's money was kept. The other party demanded two hundred yuan before she was willing to let her brother go. She had no choice but to target the two children. On pension.

After the money was returned, Li Yugui was in panic all day long, fearing that Han Lie would come back and find out about the matter and would not let her go. She was racking her brains to figure out how to solve the problem. Someone came to Zhaodi's family and said that Zhaodi's grandma was seriously ill. I need a pension to go back and get medical treatment.

Not to mention that Li Yugui used up all the money, even if she didn't use it up, she would still be reluctant to take it out. A few people had a big quarrel, and the other party said that if they didn't pay, they would return Zhaodi to them!

Li Yugui was simply wishing that as soon as Zhao Di left and Han Lie asked about the pension, couldn't she tell them to take it away together?

Li Yugui was so happy that she immediately packed up Zhaodi's things. She ignored the little girl's cries that she did not want to go back and sent her away with those people.

She originally thought she had passed this level, but she didn't expect that when Han Lie came back and heard that Zhao Di was taken away by her family, his face changed drastically. He bought a train ticket overnight to find Zhao Di. He had just returned from a mission, and his arms were still injured. He had an accident on the way, and when he was brought back by the troops, he could no longer use one hand.

Han Lie was disabled.

I definitely can't stay in the army anymore and have no choice but to change jobs and go back.

Li Yugui originally wanted to live a good life by following him, but now that his position is not guaranteed, he also hates her because of Zhao Di, and there is a scary child at home. How can she survive, so she immediately said she wanted a divorce.

Han Lie agreed, but he would not give her a penny. Li Yugui was unwilling to give in. Before leaving, he tried to steal money again, but was discovered by the little kid with a scar on his face. Seeing that he stopped her, he refused to let her go. When she left, Li Yugui cruelly kicked her to the ground.

In the cold winter, a brazier was lit in the house. The child fell to the ground and fell into the brazier. The scars on his face were eroded by the flames. Even the child who never cried couldn't help crying.

Li Yugui was shocked. She didn't even think about putting out the fire first. She took the money and wanted to run away. However, she was subdued by Han Lie who rushed in and sent her to the police station.

Li Yugui cried for her father and mother and wanted to go out. She wanted to say that she didn't mean it, but no one believed her. Even her family members who had promised to be good to her seemed to have completely forgotten her as a person. How could she not Unexpectedly, she, who had been proud all her life, would end up in jail.

However, this was not the worst part. When she finally got out of jail when her deadline was up, she was suddenly told that she was involved in a human trafficker case. Li Yugui desperately denied that she had never done this, but the police But he took out a photo and asked her if she knew the little girl on it.

"Is this Zhao Di?" Li Yugui was dumbfounded. Was Zhao Di abducted? "But it has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything. I don't know anything!"

She tried her best to say that she was wronged, but no one paid any attention to her. At this moment, she suddenly saw someone walking not far away. A figure appeared. It was a thin and tall man. She didn't recognize it at first, until the man turned slightly, revealing the extremely terrifying scars on his face...

"It's him, that person who wronged me!"

Li Yugui When she realized it, Han Lie's child came to seek revenge on her. The child named Nian Su came to seek revenge on her more than ten years later. If she had known, if she had known, she should have burned him to death!

Lying in the cold and wet cell, Li Yugui regretted endlessly. At this time, she suddenly had a dream. She dreamed that she was actually in a book. She was just a name that flashed across the book. The content of the book and It's okay with her, she's only there because she's the stepmother of two villains.

That's right, Zhao Di, who she thought was easy to bully, and Nian Su, who regretted not being burned to death, are both the big villains in that book!

Only then did Li Yugui realize why her life had been so miserable. Fortunately, God opened her eyes and gave her a jealous opportunity, so the first thing she did when she woke up was to break off the engagement with Han Lie!

She must stay as far away from these two villains as possible!

Everyone said she was stupid, but only Li Yugui knew that she would live a good life in the future.

The day after she divorced Han Lie, she went to the county town with all her expenses and found a man named Bao Feixiang. The first thing she said was: "Comrade Bao, I heard that you are looking for a wife. Look at me." How is it?"

Bao Feixiang was stunned, and so were the Bao family.

To say that the Bao family is actually not bad, Bao Feixiang is a battalion commander in the army, but he is still unmarried in his late thirties. Everyone knows the reason, because Bao Feixiang can't get his wife.

He was married three times, and each time his wife either died in childbirth or died in an accident. Once the reputation of this wife-killing person spread, he was no longer a battalion commander, even a regiment commander. No one in the brigade commander's office is willing to marry his daughter to the Bao family!

Li Yugui was the first person in so many years to come to her door and say she wanted to get married. Except for the ecstatic Bao family, everyone else stared at her as if she was a fool - she was

dissatisfied with marrying a man who restrained his wife. Have you lived too long?

Facing everyone's incredible looks, Li Yugui raised her chin proudly. How could these people know that Bao Feixiang was not a wife? He was destined to be rich and powerful!

In her last life, she had been in prison for so long that she didn't even know what was going on outside. She just felt that the country's economy suddenly improved. Even the prison moved in with a TV set, so that they, the prisoners, could watch it every day. Watch the news for an hour.

On the day the TV was broadcast, everyone came, and Li Yugui was no exception. She waited expectantly for the TV to show what it was like outside, but as soon as the TV was turned on, she suddenly jumped up from her stool.

What did she see!

"Why are you so excited? Do you still know Liu Susu?"

"How is it possible? Liu Susu is the richest man in our provincial capital. How can you know someone who is in prison?" Someone sneered.

But Li Yugui knew that the woman with the bright smile on TV was her distant cousin Liu Susu, wasn't she?

You know, after Li Yugui married Han Lie, she went to all her relatives and friends to show off, feeling that they would never be able to compare with her.

Especially Liu Susu, who lost her father and was taken by her mother to remarry.

But now, now that he is locked up and kept in the dark, Liu Susu has become the richest man, is on the news, and is envied by everyone!

Li Yugui was angry and resentful. It was then that she realized that Liu Susu was so successful because she met a man named Bao Feixiang.

This man was originally considered by everyone to be a wife-killer, but later Liu Susu did not dislike him and married him. After the two got married, Bao Feixiang's career rose step by step and became the youngest brigade commander. After changing his career, he became even richer and richer. right.

Bao Feixiang was grateful to Liu Susu for his persistence, which not only treated her well, but also provided great help to her career. Li Yugui felt that without Bao Feixiang, Liu Susu would never be as successful as she is today.

Li Yugui's eyes were red with jealousy, and she kept thinking in her heart, why did Liu Susu get all the good things? If only she was the one who met Bao Feixiang in the first place, then she would never live like this. !

Li Yugui originally thought that she could only think about it this way in her life, but she didn't expect that God would be so kind to her and really let her live her life again.

She couldn't wait any longer, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to find Bao Feixiang.

After the Bao family agreed to the marriage, Li Yugui went to find a matchmaker, gave her five yuan, and instructed her to introduce Liu Susu to Han Lie - Liu Susu had such a good life in her previous life, so she should also have a taste of what she had experienced The bitterness!

Afraid of Liu Susu's disapproval, Li Yugui kept paying attention to the marriage. It wasn't until that day when she saw Liu Susu and Han Lie taking their four children to the military area that her heart finally fell, and she happily left with Bao Feixiang. The Civil Affairs Bureau is asking for evidence.

Li Yugui originally thought that she and Bao Feixiang could finally live a good life, but on the day they got their marriage certificate, the staff suddenly said: "You are so lucky. The last couple of military comrades failed to obtain the certificate."

Bao Feixiang was stunned: "There don't seem to be many soldiers in our county."

Li Yugui realized that this person must be talking about Han Lie and Liu Susu!

Didn't they get the certificate?

"What is going on, comrade."

When Han Lie said that that day, the staff happened to hear it. They thought it was not a secret, so they said it out: "It is said that the lesbian failed the political review."

"That's okay. What bad luck." Bao Feixiang muttered without thinking too much, but Li Yugui kept the matter firmly in mind.

Bao Feixiang was the battalion commander and was not in the same military region as Han Lie. Li Yugui thought that he would never see Liu Susu in his life and could not laugh at her about it, but suddenly he met Cai Tao who came to perform in their military region.

When she heard that Cai Tao actually had unusual feelings for Han Lie, she spoke out of nowhere: "Then do you know that Han Lie and Liu Susu didn't get the certificate at all?"

Cai Tao, who was crying, suddenly stopped. Come down: "What did you say?"

Li Yugui hates Han Lie and also hates Liu Susu. If she can use this news to make the Han family uneasy, then her food will be more delicious. She curled her lips: "Come here, I Let me tell you carefully."

-

After Cai Tao returned home, she couldn't wait to challenge Liu Susu, just to verify whether what Li Yugui told her was true. However, Liu Susu ignored her at all, and Cai Tao was rejected. , snorted coldly and went upstairs.

Aunt Cai was looking through her luggage. Cai Tao just returned to the military area yesterday afternoon and kept her bag in her room. Just now when she went downstairs, Aunt Cai found the opportunity to enter her room and looked in the bag. She didn't find any She immediately became unhappy about what she had brought with her: "Cai Tao, why didn't you bring me anything back this time?"

Cai Tao was thinking only about the news that Li Yugui told her. She was impatient because she remembered to bring her something. After a few perfunctory sounds, she suddenly said: "Mom, the other day you said that the chief of staff fired you because of Liu Susu's affairs, did Liu Susu work in the cafeteria?"

Aunt Cai didn't say anything, just sat there with her mouth pursed.

Cai Tao knew what her mother was thinking, and painfully took out five dollars from her pocket: "This is the bonus this time, it's all here."

Aunt Cai then smiled and quickly put the money in He stuffed it in his pocket and said, "How can we let her in? She doesn't even look at herself. She wants to go to the dining hall. Is she worthy?!"

No one except Captain Zhang and Lu Lingzhi knew that the Chief Secretary came over on his own initiative. , everyone, including Aunt Cai herself, thought that Liu Susu only had a chance to eat in the dining hall, but she was ruined by her. It was this illusion that made Aunt Cai feel better.

When Cai Tao heard this, she felt something was wrong. When she came back yesterday afternoon, she saw Liu Susu coming out of the Military Affairs Office. She didn't pay attention at first because she didn't know Liu Susu at all. She didn't remember it until she saw her this morning. of.

If Liu Susu was not in the canteen, why would she go to the Military Affairs Office? That's not a place where ordinary people can go.

Cai Tao rolled her eyes and secretly went downstairs again.

At this time, Liu Susu was pouring water for Han Lie and Xing Xiaojun: "Are all the bricks here?"

The two of them had just returned from going to the brick factory in the county to pull bricks. Carrying bricks is a laborious job, even in the army The two of them were also panting slightly from exhaustion.

Xing Xiaojun thanked him and took a sip of water. Han Lie took a sip and nodded: "They are all here. There are two cars in total, which is enough to build two rooms."

After that, he handed over a few more change: "This is the remaining money."

This was what Liu Susu gave him when he set out this morning. Excluding the car rental, there was still eight and a half cents left. Liu Susu liked how he was so self-conscious and accepted it without politeness.

Xing Xiaojun on the side almost choked when he saw this scene.

Are you so honest and just handed the money to your sister-in-law? Those who say that the group leader and his sister-in-law have no feelings should really be allowed to take a closer look and blind their eyes!

"Would you like to take a rest first?"

"No, it's training time." After Han Lie finished speaking, he glanced at Xing Xiaojun, who was still drinking tea slowly. He immediately stood up, drank the water quickly, and placed the cup on the On the table: "Sister-in-law, let's go first."

Liu Susu nodded, took out a kettle from the room and handed it to Han Lie: "Take this with you."

Han Lie originally wanted to say that he didn't need it, but he thought of something and then took it back. , took it over.

As soon as Han Lie left, Liu Susu locked the chickens in the chicken coop to prevent them from flying around on the bricks. Then she sent several children to Chen Nan's house and went to work herself.

Yesterday's measurement has not been completed yet, and it will continue today. However, according to the previous speed, it should be completed around two or three o'clock today, and she will be able to come back early to prepare for cooking.

On the other side, Han Lie arrived at the training ground carrying a water bottle. Just as he was about to put his things down and call people to gather, he was stopped by Captain Shi.

Han Lie was about to say hello when he noticed Captain Shi looking at him with a troubled expression.

"Your eyes are cramped?"

Captain Shi almost choked on his saliva: "What do you mean by cramps? I'm worried about you."

Han Lie looked at him even more strangely.

Captain Shi: "Xiao Han, I have lived through these days. I remember that when your sister-in-law and I first got married, our relationship was not very good. Later, it was only because I talked to her more that our relationship became closer. Is it?

The same goes for you and Xiaoliu. You usually have a sullen face in front of the recruit Danzi, but you can't act like a saw-mouthed gourd at home. Can Xiaoliu not have a problem with you?"

Han Lie became more and more confused the more he listened . : "Who said we two have an opinion?"

Captain Shi pointed to his kettle with an expression of "I understand everything" on his face.

In the past, in order to save money, when Han Lie did not dare to open his stomach to eat, he often trained with a water bottle and drank water when he was hungry. At first, people did not understand and thought that drinking water before training had many benefits. The recruits imitated him, but didn't realize the benefits, so they drank a pot of water for themselves, and then started to have stomachaches during training.

When Xing Xiaojun found out about this, he sent several recruits to the hospital and laughed at them: "What do you think is the benefit of drinking water? It was Deputy Commander Han who did this because he was afraid of starvation!"

Several people did not understand: "Han Why is the deputy commander hungry?"

Their recruits' allowances are enough to feed them, so the deputy commander's allowance should be higher.

Xing Xiaojun said: "For the sake of the two children."

Han Lie has never raised children and does not know how much it costs to raise children. He just thinks that the pension left by the father of the two children cannot be touched. This is for them to settle down when they grow up. Now he not only uses his own food and drink, but also saves money for the children to go to school and sells clothes. He has even prepared dowries and betrothal gifts early. In this way, he doesn't dare to spend money randomly.

After hearing this, several recruits were stunned. Later, the news spread out for some reason. Han Lie was walking on the road once and was stuffed with a handful of steamed buns. He was puzzled. After asking, he found out that they belonged to Xing Xiaojun. credit.

Deputy Captain Han, who never said a word in training in the past, couldn't help but take five minutes to explain that day, saying that he was not hungry all the time, but sometimes he was too late and had no time to eat, and he was reluctant to eat meat, which made him hungry quickly.

But everyone didn't believe it. They felt that Deputy Leader Han was a very kind person. He would rather go hungry than treat his children badly.

So when Captain Shi saw him coming to the training ground with a bottle of water again, he thought he was hungry again. This was nothing in the past. Han Lie was a single man and would not live a normal life with two children, but Now they are all married, with a wife taking care of things inside and outside the house, and if they still don't have enough to eat, isn't that a conflict with Xiaoliu?

Han Lie was stunned and turned on the kettle: "Captain, what do you think this is?"

"Water, this can be..." Oh, there are flowers in it!

Han Lie opened his pocket again: "And here's more."

Captain Shi looked over and saw two pieces of peach cake wrapped in oil paper.

Han Lie raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Do you understand?"

As soon as he left, the confused Captain Shi pulled Xing Xiaojun who was passing by: "Xiaojun, what does soaking flowers in the water mean?"

"Soaking flowers?" Xing Xiaojun He reacted, "Oh, Captain Shi, you are talking about soaking chrysanthemums, right? After soaking, the water will be sweet, and it can also clear away heat and reduce internal heat." "

Does it have this effect?" But Xiao Han showed this to him. What?

Xing Xiaojun nodded: "Yes, I still listen to what my wife said. The last time my daughter-in-law went to Deputy Head Han's house, this was what Sister-in-law Liu gave her. This is what Sister-in-law Liu told her."

Captain Shi: "... ..."

Oh, he realized it, Han Lie was showing off his affection to him.

cut!

Who doesn't have a wife?

Tomorrow he will ask his wife to make flower water for him to drink!

However, "Xiaojun, how did you soak the chrysanthemums you mentioned?"

-

Liu Susu didn't know that a pot of water with chrysanthemums in it could make Han Lie so angry. At this time, she and Xiao Wang had already measured the army's fields. It's almost done, just need to verify it tomorrow.

Before they entered the military affairs office, they saw Captain Zhang running towards him in a panic: "Xiao Qian and the others said that the shoe factory is willing to help us produce water pipes."

Liu Susu and Xiao Wang stopped at the same time: "Really? Then what? Great!"

The shoe factory was initially reluctant. After all, they only make shoes, so who can make the water pipes? But later, when they heard that they were used by the military, they agreed. There happened to be a steel pipe manufacturer in the city. There are factories, tools and everything, and once the two are combined, they can produce the hoses they want.

"Yes, I agreed, but after doing it today, I found that my resilience is not good enough." Captain Zhang was worried just now after receiving Xiao Qian's call.

"Is the toughness not enough?" Liu Susu thought for a while, and it was indeed like this. It's okay if the area is small, but once it is made into a long pipe, it will not work if there is nothing inside to connect it. If there is only glue, it will inevitably be too brittle. She thought of the kind in later generations. Water pipe, suddenly asked: "How about adding some thread to it?"

Captain Zhang was stunned: "Thread?"

"Yes." Liu Susu remembered that when the water pipes were disassembled in later generations, they all had white thread inside, braided with thread. The mesh fixes the tube, and it has both toughness and adhesion.

"Okay, then I'll let Xiaoqian and the others try it!" Captain Zhang immediately ran back to make a phone call.

Liu Susu didn't know if it would work, but she had finished her work for the day and was about to put the documents in her hand back in the office and go back, but Xiao Wang took her over: "Comrade Liu, just let me help you get it up. You are so smart." , don't be too tired!"

Xiao Wang's admiration for Liu Susu now is like an endless stream of water! He was extremely lucky that the head of the regiment had snatched Comrade Liu from the Secretary of State. Otherwise, they would have had so much to do now, and they would have just spent the whole day staring at the data in the office and worrying.

Comrade Liu is so powerful, let him do these physical tasks!

Liu Susu couldn't laugh or cry, but she was really in a hurry to go back, so she nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll bother Comrade Wang."

After she left, Xiao Wang also returned to the office. At this time, Cai Taocai sneaked out of the office. Walked out from the side.

At this time, her face was flushed and full of anger. She said that Liu Susu had sent the child to Chen Nan. What was she doing here at the Military Affairs Office? She was here to work!

But where is the Military Affairs Office? How could Liu Susu, who came from a rural area, be qualified to work here? She must have pestered Han Lie and secretly found someone to sneak her in.

When she thought that Liu Susu not only robbed Han Lie, but also forced him to do something that might lead to someone getting caught, Cai Tao became extremely angry. She couldn't bear it anymore. She must expose her in person!

Chapter 18

◎What about your ex-husband? ◎I

got off work early today, and it was only about three o'clock when I got home. Liu Susu went to Chen Nan's house first, picked up a few children, and borrowed her pot.

"Pot?"

Liu Susu nodded: "Yes, Xiaonan, come over for dinner with Xiaojun later, Han Lie will call him over."

After getting along for so many days, there is no need to be polite between the two, and since the last time After eating the fish soup, Chen Nan knew that Liu Susu's craftsmanship was beyond praise, and she was greedy, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.

Liu Susu asked the younger ones to take the pot back, and then went to find Lu Lingzhi and asked her to come over for dinner in the evening.

Lu Lingzhi was a little reluctant. Everyone's family conditions are not good now. How much food would a big family like theirs have to eat? But before she could say anything, Daqiang said first: "Okay, Aunt Liu, we will definitely Go over there!"

Lu Lingzhi was furious: "You brat."

Daqiang made a face at her mother: "Aunt Liu's cooking is so delicious, I must go!"

Liu Susu said with a smile: "Of course I will. Go, sister-in-law, remember to come."

As soon as she left, Granny Lu Lingzhi walked out of the house. Seeing her grandson's happy look, she smiled and said, "It's okay, we can go together to have fun. I'll watch it today. Xiao Han has brought back a few carts of bricks. He is probably going to expand his house. Then you ask Wang Liang to help." "Then he

must help. If Xiao Liu doesn't come, I will ask Wang Liang to go over and take a look." Everyone likes it She hangs out with people she gets along well with, and the two families live close to each other. Liu Susu and Han Lie have good personalities, and they send food to their homes from time to time. Lu Lingzhi doesn't want to break the relationship, but is worried that there are too many people in the family, and it won't be nice to go out to eat.

Her mother-in-law waved her hand: "You are just thinking too much. Just pick more vegetables from the yard and take half the fish pickled yesterday."

Lu Lingzhi smiled and said: "You are still smart."

Lu Lingzhi The mother-in-law was too old to join in the fun, and she also knew that the old man was there. These young people couldn't let go, so they didn't go. They helped Lu Lingzhi go to the garden to pull some of the good vegetables and wait for her to take them. In the past, before I even entered the courtyard gate, I smelled an extremely alluring fragrance.

Before Lu Lingzhi said anything, Daqiang led his two younger brothers and ran out: "Xiaocheng, what delicious food did your mother cook?"

"I don't know, mother asked me to work outside. Brother Daqiang, come and help." Let's do it," Han Cheng said.

Lu Lingzhi came closer and found that he was swinging something with his head. The little guy's hands were small and not very strong. He needed two hands to hold a brick firmly. As soon as he put it up, Han Qian said: "That's not it. Yes, you got it crooked."

Han Xiuxiu also put a brick over and asked him, "Xiao Qian, is that like this?"

Han Qian supported his head to look and nodded: "Sister, you put it right. You are still smart."

Han Xiuxiu pursed her lips and smiled, moving even happier.

Lu Lingzhi watched in amazement, thinking that the children in this family got along so well, and they didn't look like they were brought by their stepmother.

She put the vegetables in the yard and walked to the kitchen. Just as she was about to ask Liu Susu if she could help her in any way, she was sneezed several times.

"What is this? It's too spicy, isn't it?" It's not only spicy, but also fragrant. Just smelling this smell, Lu Lingzhi feels like his glutton has been drawn out.

Liu Susu waved the spatula: "Spicy soup."

In fact, it should be considered the bottom of the pot.

There were a lot of people eating at home today, so it would be too late to prepare the dishes one after another and put them on the table, and it was easy to not be full, so I just made them into skewers. Of course, they were the kind without skewers. They were almost the same as hot pot. All the ingredients were prepared. Okay, just fry the bottom of the pot, put it in the pot and cook it, then you can eat it.

Liu Susu likes spicy food, but she doesn't know if other people's tastes are too strong, so she specially made two flavors. She just borrowed a pot from Chen Nan's house and made one side clear soup and the other spicy soup. You can just cook whatever you want in it.

The clear soup is made of pig's feet. It is half of the dried pig's feet that Liu Shurong brought to her. Liu Susu made it all at once. After all, there was no oil in the soup, so it would definitely not be fragrant. Then she put some dried mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots in it. Just simmer the fresh ingredients slowly in a casserole until they become milky white.

The spicy soup took away a lot of Liu Susu's efforts.

First, use rapeseed oil to sauté the onions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, then add a handful of chili peppers, dried chili peppers, hot sauce, and red oil. The pot immediately becomes hot and spicy, and you can feel it just by smelling it. Spicy, add some seasoning to it, and finally pour the pig's trotter soup in, and the aroma will come up immediately.

"Oh, this is a pot. The pot is good. There are many of us, so it's convenient." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile, then rolled up his sleeves to help Liu Susu start washing vegetables, and suddenly thought: "Then how do you cook this? Eat in the kitchen?"

Liu Susu started cutting the bean curds. Vegetarian dishes are the cheapest now, because every household has a vegetable garden, and no one buys vegetables. You can buy a lot of them for a dime, but after all, you are inviting people to eat, and you can't eat all vegetarian dishes. Liu Susu soaked the tofu skin she brought from home, cut into a pound of pork, and cooked it with various vegetarian dishes.

Hearing this, he said, "Didn't your sister-in-law see Xiao Qian and the others setting up the stove when she came in?"

Lu Lingzhi was stunned: "That's the stove? I thought they were playing." There were

many people eating, so they certainly couldn't gather around them. In the kitchen, it doesn't look like it.

Put it in the main room. There is no coal stove now, and the earth stove cannot be moved. It cannot be cooked and eaten at the same time and it feels a little lacking. Liu Susu glanced at the bricks that Han Lie brought back in the morning and thought of building an earth stove with bricks. Anyway, Just burn it once and you won't be afraid of the bricks being burned.

If there was firewood at home, all he had to do was build bricks to look like a well and make a hole next to it to put firewood. Liu Susu originally planned to get it by herself after cooking, but she didn't expect Han Qian to immediately take it after seeing her gesture twice. The bricks were placed in a circle on the ground and asked her: "Mom, is this like it?"

Liu Susu was no longer pretending this time, she was really surprised: "Oh, our little Qian is too smart! Mom said you It will work!"

Although Han Qian was calmer than Han Cheng, he was still a child after all, and he smiled sheepishly when he heard this.

Liu Susu knew that among the children in the family, Han Qian was the one who cared most deeply. Han Jin just didn't care about anything, but Han Qian knew everything and just liked to keep it in his heart.

And unlike Han Cheng, he is a veritable rainbow fart maker who gets along well with everyone. Even Han Jin, who doesn't like to talk, is sometimes coaxed into being stunned by him.

Apart from her, Han Qian only had a slightly better relationship with Han Cheng. He loved money so much, and he couldn't fit in with the family, so he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Liu Susu touched his head and said with a smile: "It just so happens that my mother is in a hurry to cook and has no time. Xiaoqian, can you come and teach us how to set up the stove together? It only needs to be at this height. I will tell my mother when it is done." ."

As for eating, it is a big deal. Han Qian, who was entrusted with an important task for the first time, nodded seriously: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely be able to do it well."

Lu Lingzhi was a little agitated after hearing what Liu Susu said. Surprised: "Xiao Qian is so smart?"

"Yes, I didn't expect that either." Liu Susu said with a smile. She really didn't expect Han Qian's understanding to be so good. Maybe she wouldn't have to worry about her children going to school in the future.

"I just happened to bring sweet potatoes here. When the time comes, you can bury them on the firewood. When the pot is finished, the sweet potatoes will be roasted." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile.

Liu Susu nodded: "Sister-in-law, you are really good at eating."

After a while, Chen Nan also came. The bottom of the pot was already fried. The three of them only needed to get all the vegetables out. With more hands, they could move quickly. They had everything ready before six o'clock. Waiting for Han Lie to take it with him As soon as the helper comes back, dinner can be served.

Today, in addition to their three families, there were also three young soldiers who came to help. They had been with Han Lie for some time, so they were not restrained, and the yard quickly became lively.

While Liu Susu and others were chatting and eating, two men in uniforms suddenly walked into a two-story building with an elegant decoration in Shanghai.

"Secretary Chang, these two comrades said they were looking for you."

Chang Qingsong, who was reading the documents, looked up. When he saw the man wearing a public security uniform, a flash of doubt flashed in his eyes. He quickly returned to normal and pointed at the person in front of him. Chair: "Please sit down."

"Sister Bai, serve tea."

One of the police comrades said immediately: "No, Secretary Chang, we are here to ask you something."

Because of the special status of Chang Qingsong, no matter it is Many people came to him at home or in the office. He originally thought that these two people were looking for him because of work matters, so he didn't think much about it. He picked up the teacup and was about to ask them if they had any questions. Within a second, I saw the police officer take out a photo.

"Comrade, do you still have any impressions?"

After seeing the figure clearly, Chang Qingsong was so surprised that he even forgot to blow. The hot tea was directly put into his mouth, burning him from the chair. stood up.

But he ignored the pain, and quickly closed the door to the study, locked it, and then asked in a panic: "Why do you ask? Why do you have a photo of this person? No, this person is not already dead." Why are you asking me?"

One question after another fully exposed his panic. Seeing that the police officer's face was not right, he tried to calm down and quickly explained: "I was just too excited. I didn't expect that she was still alive. ."

"So, you admit that you know Comrade Liu Shurong?" the policeman said, the person in the photo is none other than Liu Shurong.

Chang Qingsong nodded.

"Then please explain what is going on. What happened between you and Comrade Liu Shurong?"

In fact, there is no need to ask. The police can guess what is going on when they see this.

After all, this kind of thing has happened too many times in recent years.

Indeed, just as the police thought, Chang Qingsong lowered his head, paused and said: "Comrade Liu Shurong, she is my ex-wife..."

When he mentioned this name, a trace of sadness flashed across Chang Qingsong's face, as if he was again Back to that time.

He was not Chang Qingsong at that time, his name was Chang Guangzong, he was married to Liu Shurong, and they had a daughter. However, due to the war, many people were forced to separate, and some even lost their original identities.

This was the case with Chang Qingsong. He did join the army, but later there was an error in the statistics and he was counted as a martyr who had died.

Everyone thought he was gone, and because of the loss of contact between the two parties, Chang Qingsong also thought that his wife and daughter were dead, so he never thought of returning to his hometown to take a look.

Seeing the calmness on Chang Qingsong's face, one of the younger police officers smiled mockingly, "What do you mean by thinking that your wife and daughter are dead?"

Maybe that's what I thought at first, but now that Chang Qingsong has taken the position of deputy secretary, wouldn't it be easier to find someone than Liu Shurong? It's just that I can't let go of my current luxurious life, and I don't want to go back to my former wife and children, so I just keep making mistakes. After all, this way, I don't feel guilty in my heart.

This kind of thing has happened too many times in recent years. In the past, few people would ask for a marriage certificate. If the conditions were good, they would set up a table and have a banquet. If the conditions were not good, just a few people in the family would have a meal, and the life would go on.

Therefore, when they become rich later, many people don't even have to bear the psychological burden. They can simply change their identity and move away from home, and then they can change their identity and marry someone else to live their lives.

Doesn't Chang Qingsong's reaction after learning that Liu Shurong was still alive just illustrate this point?

Chang Qingsong quickly replied and asked them: "Why did you suddenly ask me about this matter?"

When he asked this, there was a hint of anger in his tone. After so many years, he had finally completely solved the problem. This incident was forgotten and now it is brought up again.

The policeman said: "Because of Comrade Liu Susu's political review, she is now married to a comrade in a certain army."

"Liu Susu?" Chang Qingsong was stunned, and then realized that she should be his daughter. She could marry a comrade. A soldier? Although he must be an unknown soldier, does this also mean that Liu Shurong is living a good life and may have remarried to the city with his children? How else could you marry a soldier?

When he thought of this, Chang Qingsong seemed to have found an excuse for himself, and he felt relieved: "Then what you are doing now..."

"Comrade Liu Susu failed to pass the political review because there was something wrong with the verification of his father. Now I can confirm that you If you are still alive, modify the file and there will be no problem in the political review."

Chang Qingsong was a little anxious. In this way, wouldn't Liu Shurong and his son know that they are still alive? If they find this place...

the police don't know that Chang Qing Song was struggling in his heart. Now that he had verified it, he was ready to leave. Before leaving, he asked: "Comrade Liu Susu hasn't officially received the certificate yet. If you want to go over and see her..." "

No need." Chang Qingsong lowered his head and looked. Looking at the family photo on the table, he added: "I still have something to do, so I won't go over it, and there is no need to mention me to her."

He now has a family, a decent wife and sensible children, and there is no need to go back to the past. life, otherwise it will only make his current wife and children sad.

Even though the young police officer had seen this kind of thing too many times, he was still angry at Chang Qingsong's negative attitude. Just as he was about to say something, the police officer next to him gave him a wink and stopped him.

After he came out, he said: "Liu Captain, why didn't you let me say it!"

Liu Captain sneered: "Look at him like that, what's the use of saying it? Will he wake up after saying it?" The

young policeman was confused. How can you be so sure?

Team Liu said: "His current wife is from a dance troupe, and his father-in-law is a high-ranking official in the city, which can help his career."

Many men who have become prosperous are not willing to go back to their former wives and families. Isn't it just because they don't have enough status? For people like Chang Qingsong, no matter what, it is more important than their future and face.

The young man An An was dissatisfied, but he could only mutter: "Comrade Liu Susu is not bad either. Her target is the deputy commander."

Captain Liu smiled and said: "The deputy commander grabbed a lot, Chang Qingsong I won't care about this relationship."

"Hmph, anyway, I just hope that Comrade Liu Susu will have great success in the future, and I will be so angry with this Chang Qingsong!"

Captain Liu thought to himself, he is still a child after all, and he didn't say it out loud: " Okay, hurry up and get the news back, it's been taking so long."

——Although

the comrades in charge of political review verification didn't know who Liu Susu was, Master Zhong had urged her so many times, and they didn't dare to neglect, so they sent her on the same day. The message was handed back.

It happened that Mr. Zhong was still in the office that day, and he saw Political Commissar Zhao coming in beamingly: "Comrade Liu's political review passed." "Really

?" Mr. Zhong stood up happily. He didn't know why. Originally, only Han Lie was waiting for the political review alone, but now he was even happier than Han Lie. "Then, have you verified who her father is?" Political

Commissar Zhao didn't say anything, just handed the file over and pointed to a line on it.

Master Zhong raised his eyebrows: "You are still an official...what's wrong?"

Political Commissar Zhao explained the situation and finally said: "Anyway, please don't mention this matter less."

Master Zhong frowned, but he didn't expect it to be like this. The situation, but he couldn't do anything. He could only sigh helplessly: "Okay, I'll tell Xiao Liu and Xiao Han first to reassure them."

"I'll go with you." Political Commissar Zhao also wanted to see Zhong This is what the division commander said. Comrade Liu Susu is good at cooking and can even join the Military Affairs Office. How capable he is.

However, before they reached the door of Liu Susu's house, they heard a commotion and a large number of people gathered outside the yard, all watching the excitement.

Master Zhong couldn't squeeze in, so he asked, "What's going on inside?"

Someone said, "It's Cai Tao from Aunt Cai's family who is making trouble, saying that Liu Susu found connections and entered the Military Affairs Office!"

"Looking for connections?" Master Zhong More confused.

"No, you didn't get in through some connections. Then why would Liu Susu...Mr. Zhong? You're here!" The person who spoke just realized that the person standing behind him was actually Mr. Zhong. He was startled and shouted immediately. come out.

There were already a lot of people watching the fun, but when she shouted, everyone was stunned. Looking back, good guy, it was really Mr. Zhong!

The crowd immediately separated into a lane. Master Zhong and Political Commissar Zhao walked in, only to find that there were many people in the courtyard.

"What's going on?" Master Zhong asked.

He really didn't know anything. He originally just wanted to tell Han Lie and Liu Susu about the results of the political review, but when he came he encountered such a situation, and he couldn't keep anyone in the dark.

But others didn't think so, especially Cai Tao. She thought that Master Zhong came over after hearing that Liu Susu had found connections to join the Military Affairs Office, and came here specifically to cause trouble. She suddenly felt even more proud.

Look, she said that Liu Susu definitely got into the Military Affairs Office through abnormal means, and even Master Zhong didn't know about it!

Cai Tao couldn't wait to say: "Commander, you don't know, right? Liu Susu actually joined the Military Affairs Office. Why does she, a rural person, join the Military Affairs Office? And she did it secretly. She must have asked Han Lie to find a relationship for her. I just stuffed her in."

After saying that, he advised Liu Susu with sincerity: "Comrade Liu, I know you feel aggrieved because you can't enter the cafeteria, but you can't do this kind of thing through the back door. You feel comfortable. But what are you going to do with Deputy Commander Han's future? He is innocent! Moreover, there are so many people in our military region, and not everyone can have a job. If they are like you and want to find a job through the back door, then the military region It didn't take long for everything to break down."

His righteous words immediately aroused the emotions of the onlookers.

Especially the day Liu Susu first arrived, she offended many people because of those people's ridicule of Han Jin and Han Xiuxiu, and she was still holding back her anger. Now is the perfect opportunity to vent her anger:

" That's right, I didn't expect that Comrade Liu would bring all these messy things not long after he arrived." "

Comrade Liu must be too anxious. So what if he doesn't have a job when he first arrives? We haven't had you since we've been here for so long. So anxious."

"Go to the Military Affairs Office, is that something ordinary people can go to?"

Among the group of people, Aunt Cai made the most fuss, as if she wanted to take back all the anger she had received from Liu Susu.

Liu Susu looked at these people with a half-smile, and finally her eyes fell on Han Lie. Did you see that this is the love debt you caused? Cai Tao caused trouble for her. Besides what she said, she was busy trying to excuse Han Lie.

Han Lie frowned and wanted to say that there was no such thing. He and Cai Tao had nothing. When he was about to speak, Liu Susu suddenly grabbed him.

He thought Liu Susu wanted to explain, so he didn't move, but the next second he heard her say: "How do you know it was me who forced Han Lie to find a back door for me? What if he wanted to do it?

" As soon as it came out, not to mention Han Lie, even Master Zhong and Political Commissar Zhao were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and thought, what is Xiaoliu doing? Why did he suddenly say this?

Liu Susu said this deliberately, she always felt that something was wrong.

They were eating just now. Although they were already familiar with Lu Lingzhi and Chen Nan's family, it was the first time for the recruits Han Lie had come to have dinner at the deputy commander's house. Although they were superiors and subordinates, they were more senior. We are comrades in arms, and we used to eat together in the canteen, which was fine, but now that Liu Susu has come and has dinner at home for the first time, she can't help but feel a little reserved.

In addition, they were all young men with big appetites. They were afraid of eating up all the food in the group leader's house, so they all ate two steamed buns before coming. But they didn't expect that Liu Susu was such a good cook and couldn't stop eating. When he came to his senses, he realized that all the cakes on the plate had been eaten.

Seeing that they were a little embarrassed, Liu Susu quickly said: "It's okay, eat more. I made a lot more on purpose today."

As she said that, she went to the kitchen to get the remaining cakes. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she heard When I went outside, I thought of a commotion. When I went out, I saw that it was Cai Tao. She kept saying that she had taken advantage of Han Lie and forced him to find a job for her.

Seeing Cai Tao's determined look, Liu Susu felt that something was wrong. Although her work at the Military Affairs Office had not been fully approved, she did not hide it from anyone. It was just that there were not many family members in the Military Affairs Office, and it was relatively far away. Few people would encounter her, but Cai Tao now made a big deal about it, and she didn't believe it unless she said something.

That's why I said this deliberately now.

She just wanted to try it at first, but as soon as she finished speaking, Cai Tao said, "It's impossible, you forced him to do it!"

"Why do you say that? Where's the evidence?" Liu Susu felt even more strange. Could it be that Cai Tao knew Han Lie's character so she said he wouldn't do such a thing, but this doesn't make sense.

"Because you two didn't get the certificate at all!"

"You didn't get the certificate?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, this time, including Liu Susu.

Except for the two of them and their teacher, even Liu Shurong didn't know about the fact that she and Han Lie didn't get the certificates: "Why do you say that we didn't get the certificates? Who told you?"

Now, if you say it's not a ghost, you won't believe it. Got it!

"You don't care who told me, I just know anyway. You said you got the certificate, but where is the marriage certificate? Take it out and show it to me!"

Looking at this, she knew that Cai Tao would not say who told her. But Liu Susu had already asked what she wanted, so there was no need to go on arguing:

"You said you asked me to show it to you and I will show it to you? Then I said I didn't know that someone like you would come to your door and tell you some unfounded things. , what brand of paste is in your head? Can you show me your brain?"

"Pfft -"

Someone couldn't help but laugh. Unexpectedly, Comrade Liu looked so gentle and gentle. Yes, your speaking skills are so great.

Cai Tao's face turned red with anger: "You said it was all false? Then tell me, why do you work in the Military Affairs Office!" "

Yes, why do you work in the Military Affairs Office!" Aunt Cai helped.

In fact, this is what everyone is most concerned about. In fact, it doesn't matter to them whether they get the certificate or not. After all, there are many people who don't get the certificate now, so why don't they live the same life?

But working in the Military Affairs Department is different. The Military Affairs Department is not accessible to ordinary people. You always have to say that, right?

"Why? Can you just let Xiao Liu come in because of me?"

Captain Zhang walked in. As he spoke, he glared at Master Zhong and Political Commissar Zhao: "Are you two just here to watch the show?"

Master Zhong It's unfair. He clearly wanted to say it was political commissar Zhao, but he said he would wait to see if Comrade Liu had anything to ask.

Political Commissar Zhao smiled and said: "We have only been here not long ago, haven't we not had a chance to talk yet?"

Cai Tao on the side was stunned: "You guys, what do you mean?"

Why did she suddenly feel that something was wrong? This posture did not sound like she was here. He raised an army to investigate the crime.

"What do you mean?" Captain Zhang said unceremoniously, "Didn't you ask Comrade Liu Susu why she joined the Military Affairs Office? Just because she is a college student, and because she has the ability to increase our annual output by 20%, can you !"

Like a bolt from the blue, with a "boom", everyone exploded, staring at Liu Susu with incredible eyes.

"What, Comrade Liu is a junior college student? Is he the junior college student I thought?" "

Otherwise, how many kinds of junior college students can there be? I said that Comrade Liu looks different from us mud-legged people. Sure enough, he is still a junior college student. In our village, these students are all number one."

"No, Captain Zhang, what do you mean by annual output? Is it the annual output in our crop fields?" Although the news was shocking enough for college students, everyone was shocked. We are farmers who rely on the fields for food. Nothing is more important than food.

Captain Zhang nodded: "Yes, Comrade Liu Susu has found a way to irrigate, which can make the crops in our fields grow better. It is because of this that I recruited her to the office. Fortunately, I am quick, otherwise Liu Susu All the comrades will be snatched away by the Chief Secretary."

The Chief Secretary, who came just in time after hearing the news, said: "..."

Hearing this, he almost became angry to death. He choked and said, "It's your bad luck, otherwise I have summoned Comrade Liu to our cafeteria a long time ago!"

Well, the onlookers were already numb.

It turns out that Liu Susu was not only a junior college student who was able to work in the Military Affairs Office, but she even gave up her job in the canteen!

They were thinking about the opportunity to work in the cafeteria, but she gave up on it.

In an instant, everyone had different expressions.

Those who once thought she was just a rural person with nothing to show for her looks were now speechless in shock.

I always thought that Liu Susu couldn't enter the cafeteria because of my Aunt Cai, but now she was dumbfounded.

On the other hand, Cai Tao, who originally wanted to take this opportunity to drive Liu Susu out of the military area, was even more stupid when he saw that his plan not only failed, but also made Liu Susu the focus of everyone's discussion!

"Comrade Liu, what is the irrigation method you are looking for? Can you tell us?"

Liu Susu can tell us, but it is not clear for a while, and there is no news from Xiaoqian. Not knowing whether the water pipe was successful, he said, "Don't worry, everyone. When it's done here, someone from our side will come over to communicate with you."

Captain Zhang nodded: "Don't worry, our military has so many fields. , I will definitely not forget everyone."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Commander Zhong: "Captain Zhang has already told me about Xiaoliu working in the Military Affairs Office. Even the application report is on my desk. The employment application will be out tomorrow. Xiaoliu is just going to work early. After all, the job in the field is The matter is a big one and cannot be delayed.

Xiaoliu and Xiaohan also need to get their certificates...I can guarantee this. They came here after getting their certificates and having a drink. If anyone doesn't believe it, just come to me!"

The big guy laughed quickly. Said: "Mr. Zhong, are you kidding me? Why don't you believe it?"

Mr. Zhong still had something to say, so he said: "Okay, let's all leave. Do whatever you need to do from now on. Don't do anything behind your back." You're just talking about other people."

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Cai Tao.

If this was normal, Cai Tao would be extremely ashamed, but today, she didn't notice it at all, because at this time, she was already stunned by what Master Zhong said.

Did Liu Susu and Han Lie get their marriage certificate?

How is this possible? Did Li Yugui lie to her?

"Ouch!" Aunt Cai's exclamation suddenly came to her ears. Cai Tao looked down and saw that Aunt Cai fell to the ground. A person next to her quickly took a few steps back: "I didn't trip you. , you fell on your own, don't blame me!" "

Oh, I told you to stay away from them, don't try to blackmail you later. This kind of person just doesn't like other people's good deeds, and is even jealous when they go to work in the Military Affairs Office. "Yes!

Fortunately, Comrade Liu Susu is generous and not angry. Otherwise, if the irrigation method is gone, I will go to Cai's house to argue with them." "

You don't need to argue, it will cause us to run out of food. , one person can drown them all with just a spit of spit!"

Suddenly, a barrier seemed to automatically form around Cai Tao and Aunt Cai, and everyone walked around them.

Aunt Cai was stupid.

She was so prosperous in the past. Everyone in her family, including her, was an employee. How many families in the entire military region could be so capable? It is no exaggeration to say that she usually goes out with her chin raised and looks down on anyone.

But at this moment, she, who used to be praised for every word she spoke, was actually shunned by everyone. Aunt Cai sat on the ground, her face turned green with anger.

He directly hit Cai Tao: "It's all your fault, you damn girl! It's all your fault!"

If she hadn't vowed that she had caught Liu Susu's hand, would she have followed down to join in the fun? This is good, not only have they lost their lives, but they have also offended the division commander. They are finished in this military region!

Aunt Cai has been cutting vegetables in the cafeteria all year round, and her hands are very strong. Cai Tao was so beaten that she grinned and immediately wanted to run away. Before she could take two steps forward, she was suddenly stopped by Han Xiuxiu: "Don't...don't come here. , this is our home!"

The little girl pointed at the line on the ground angrily. Cai Tao took a look and saw that someone had drawn a line in the middle of the yard at some point. One side was the Liu Susu family's vegetable garden, and the other side was the Liu Susu family's vegetable garden. One side belongs to their family.

This was actually painted by Han Qian.

As soon as everyone left, Liu Susu and others also entered the room to talk. The yard became quiet. Han Cheng turned around and saw his brother holding the broom backwards and using the handle to draw a long line in the middle. Vertical lines.

Han Cheng ran over quickly: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Han Qian waved the broom and shouted: "The family upstairs is a bad person, I want to paint the yard, and they are not allowed to enter our yard in the future. Come here!"

He was still young. Although he didn't know the meaning of what Cai Tao and Aunt Cai said before, he knew that these two people wanted to bully Mom, and he wouldn't allow it!

Grandma told them before coming here to protect their mother.

Han Cheng's eyes lit up: "Brother, let me help you!"

Not only Han Cheng, but also Han Jin and Han Xiuxiu came over. The four little beanbags hummed and drew a line in the middle. Come out and never let bad guys step on their place in the future!

But Cai Tao didn't care what they were thinking. She was already angry, but now she was targeted by a child, and she became even more angry: "Go away, you little girl."

Han Xiuxiu remained motionless, her eyes stubborn. staring at her.

Cai Tao wanted to push her away, but before her hand touched Han Xiuxiu, three other small figures suddenly ran over and stood in front of Han Xiuxiu, holding her tightly.

Han Qian shouted: "You are not allowed to bully sister!"

Mom said that sister is a member of the family, and they should protect her just like their uncle protected his mother.

Han Cheng nodded repeatedly. He stood at the front, closest to Cai Tao. Seeing that her nails were almost digging into his eyes, his calves were trembling with fear. Just as he was about to speak, someone pushed him away.

Han Cheng took a look and found that he was his good big brother!

Good brother Han Jin frowned and said, "Get away."

Han Jin just didn't want to speak, so he responded with Cai Tao's words, but he didn't expect that his words were particularly powerful. In order to be more powerful, Han Cheng hid behind him, Followed by "Ouch!"

Cai Tao thought they were provoking her and almost died of anger. Just when she was about to say something, she was snatched away by Aunt Cai who was chasing her: "You damn girl, aren't you embarrassed enough? Get back!" Seeing that the "

bad guys" were driven away by them, Han Cheng jumped up happily: "We succeeded! We are little heroes!"

Han Qian wanted to reveal that he was hiding behind him just now and his legs were shaking with fear, but Han Xiu Xiu had already nodded and smiled happily: "Auntie will definitely be very happy."

Okay,

Han Qian reluctantly took back his idea of ​​causing trouble: "Big brother is the most powerful today."

"Yes, big brother is still Save me... Hey, brother, why are you going to see the chickens again? Mom said you don't have to worry about them today!"

When several children outside were noisy, the atmosphere in the room was particularly solemn.

Liu Susu just heard that Mr. Zhong said that her political review had been completed, and she was quite happy. After all, although she was not worried about work, it would be better to get a formal employment notice. But the next sentence of Mr. Zhong was : "Xiao Liu, do you know why your previous political review meeting has been unable to pass?"

Liu Susu was stunned and looked at Han Lie: "Didn't you say that the political review team was too busy and had to wait for a while?"

Han Lie nodded: "Sir, sir That's what I said before."

"Yes, but that's just a stop-gap measure." Master Zhong paused and said, "Mainly because Xiaoliu's father found that he was not right after investigation."

"Not right?" Liu Susu was confused. He looked at Master Zhong's expression and realized: "He's not dead?"

"Yes, not dead." As Master Zhong nodded, everyone in the room was stunned except for Political Commissar Zhao.

Master Zhong knew this and didn't know what to say, but he still had to say: "His name is Chang Qingsong now, and he is the deputy secretary of a certain agency in Shanghai. Xiaoliu, do you want to see him?

Liu Susu raised her head: "I won't go. " "

Mr. Zhong was shocked.

"Do you think I'm too absolute? Liu Susu smiled and said, "You said that he changed his name and now became a leader. In this case, his not coming back can only mean two things. First, he has a new family; second, he doesn't want to Recognize me and my mother, since he is like this, why should I go to find him? He doesn't recognize me, and I don't want to recognize him. "

Liu Susu has seen this kind of thing a lot. People abandon their wives and children after becoming successful in all eras. Maybe it's because she is not the original owner, and it is difficult to have any special feelings for her "father" who has no impression of her.

She knows Chang Qingsong When he was still alive, he only had one thought, that is, he must not be someone from the other side of the river. Although it was still only the 1950s and management was far less strict than it would be more than ten years later, if he had any relationship with the other side of the river, they would There is no good fruit to eat.

As long as this is not the case, that is enough.

She does not need an ungrateful white-eyed wolf to be her father, and she is afraid of teaching a few children.

Political Commissar Zhao on the side took a breath, he did not expect Such a young comrade actually had such free and easy thoughts. Suddenly, he looked at Liu Susu with a different look.

Mr. Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. "

Actually, this is better. The phone call over there also said that Chang Qingsong is not an emotional person. If Liu Susu goes, I'm sure he will be disappointed.

Liu Susu nodded and thought about it again. He said: "By the way, my mother's side..."

"Don't worry, this is only related to your political review, we will not notify others. "

"That's good. "Although she doesn't take it to heart, what if Liu Shurong does it? And now Liu Shurong is very happy at home. She doesn't want this to make her sad.

Even if she wants to say it, she will have to wait until she goes back for the New Year and tell her personally. Well.

After saying this, Master Zhong and Political Commissar Zhao left. Captain Zhang was anxious to get Liu Susu onboard, so he left first. The room suddenly became quiet.

Liu Susu suddenly thought that her political review had been completed, so she and Han Can I get a strong marriage certificate, and then go to bed at night... As soon as this idea came up, I suddenly felt a heat on my fingertips. I looked up, and a cup of steaming water suddenly appeared in front of me. I

looked again , yo, even brown sugar was added.

"Drink some water first. "

Sure enough, it is the classic thinking of a straight man. When you are undecided, have a cup of hot water.

Facing Han Lie's worried eyes, Liu Susu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm really fine. Han

Lie didn't believe it: "Then you just..."

"I was thinking about getting a marriage certificate." "

Boom", Han Lie's ears suddenly turned red, and he suddenly moved a stool and leaned against the door.

The weather was good today, and the sun was shining slantly. Sitting in the sun, Liu Susu could hardly see her. He asked: "What are you doing, running so far.

"My, my ears were red from the sun. " "

"You're so red, why don't you sit in quickly? " Liu Susu said strangely.

"You are right." Han Lie sat in, looked around unnaturally, and then said, "Do you want to get the certificate?" "

Liu Susu stared at him, what do you mean she wants to get the certificate? Could it be that she could get the certificate if she wanted to, or not if she didn't want to get it? It made her very impatient. She

took a sip of sugar water and said deliberately: "No, I I'm thinking about how Cai Tao found out about the fact that we didn't get the certificate before.

Han Lie didn't know either, "Maybe it has something to do with my ex-wife? " "

Ex-wife? " "But Liu Susu also knew that this was just his guess, but when she heard him say this, she suddenly became interested: "What's going on between you and your ex-wife, tell me?

Han Lie looked at her: "You want to hear it? " "

Of course I want to hear it. Don't we both need to get the certificate? I don't even know why your ex-wife divorced you, so I don't worry about it." "

Liu Susu was just making an excuse, but the words sounded different to Han Lie. Didn't he just say that he didn't want to get the certificate? Now is he letting it slip?

Han Lie lowered the corner of his mouth. : "There is no relationship between me and her. It was my second aunt who found someone to take care of Xiaojin and Xiuxiu. In fact, she and I had already divorced without even saying a word. She brought it up, saying that she didn't want to give anything to her. She became a stepmother. "

Liu Susu felt a little strange. It was not because Han Lie and his ex-wife were unwilling to be a stepmother, but based on her understanding of Han Lie, she must have told him these things when they met each other. If his ex-wife agreed, it meant that she was willing. , why did she suddenly change her mind again?

Could it be that she regretted it after seeing Han Jin and Han Xiuxiu's two children and felt it was difficult to take care of them?

But this has nothing to do with her, as long as it is not Han Lie's own problem.

"Okay, I understand, let's go have dinner?

Just as he was about to go out, he was suddenly stopped by Han Lie: "What about you? "

Liu Susu was stunned: "What am I? "

"Why did you and your ex-husband separate? " Han Lie asked.

Liu Susu waved her hand indifferently: "Me?" Aren't he and I just..."

As soon as she started talking, she was stunned because she suddenly thought that the original owner was notoriously devoted to Zhuang Baiyu. Although Han Lie was not from the same village as her, Bao She was not allowed to hear what others said. If she didn't explain, she might be found to be lying.

But if she did, wouldn't Han Lie think that she was too affectionate towards her ex-husband and suspect her of marrying him? The purpose is not pure?

Liu Susu suddenly shuddered, why did she seem to have dug a hole for herself?

*****

Chapter 19

◎Receive the certificate◎

Han Lie looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Liu Susu coughed lightly and decided to change her strategy: "Comrade Han Lie, have you heard the story? How about I tell you a story."

Han Lie once I had never heard the story before. The first time I heard it was when Liu Susu told Han Xiuxiu a story through the wall. Now when I saw her saying this, I raised my eyebrows: "I'm listening." "

Once upon a time, there was a woman. Comrade, she was young and ignorant. She was accidentally deceived by a scumbag when she was studying. It wasn't until they got married and had children that she discovered who this scumbag was. But by now it was already too late. For the sake of the child I could only endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden.

Later, God finally opened his eyes and the two separated. The lesbian met a better gay man, and the family lived a happy life. The story is over. Captain Han, you What do you think?"

Liu Susu was very satisfied. She felt that her story was well told. The causes and consequences were exactly the same as reality. She just omitted the details of Zhuang Baiyu leaving, the original owner chasing him, and why the original owner chose Han Lie.

Anyway, it's just a little detail, it won't affect it.

Normally, Han Lie would have noticed that her "story" was evasive, but at this time, he had already been attracted by "bearing the humiliation" and "better gay men".

So, Liu Susu thinks he is favored by her ex-husband?

Somehow, when Han Lie thought of this conclusion, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but Liu Susu kept staring at him, and the Adam's apple hidden under the collar slid slightly, and he said: "I think it's pretty good."

Suddenly he felt again Her answer didn't seem right, so she quickly added: "That gay man will definitely be good to the lesbians."

Liu Susu: "..."

What is Han Lie doing? He suddenly said this, making her feel a little embarrassed. .

She couldn't think of anything to say, so she could only say "Oh" dryly, "Okay, let's go and get the certificate while we are free tomorrow, so as to avoid a long night and many dreams."

In the past, she must have hoped that it would be as late as possible, but today, Cai Tao was With such a fuss going on, it's better to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible, otherwise something might happen again.

Han Lie did not agree immediately: "I'm not sure yet."

Liu Susu thought he didn't have time, so she didn't think much about it, nodded, and turned around and went out.

Someone suddenly came over to cause trouble. At this moment, in the yard, although everyone was gathered around the pot again, they could no longer eat. They had almost eaten all the food. Everyone finished the remaining food. Just go back first.

It's too late today, and there's no light outside, so we can only wait to come early tomorrow to build a house. Chen Nan and Lu Lingzhi stayed to help Liu Susu pack her things. They said they were packing things, but it was actually a "shock meeting" for the two of them. They

knew that Liu Susu went to work in the Military Affairs Office, but they didn't expect that she turned out to be a junior college student. students, and they also know how to increase food production!

Suddenly, the two of them could no longer remain calm and praised Liu Susu non-stop.

Lu Lingzhi said: "If my big brother wants to come to your house in the future, I will definitely not stop him. I will let him come and strive to have a junior college student in our family in the future. No, there is no need for a junior college. I will burn incense if he can get into high school." I pray to Buddha."

Chen Nan also nodded: "Sister-in-law, when the time comes, you can hold an armful of iron eggs. I can accept that cow eggs are not smart when they grow up. Maybe our iron eggs can still be saved."

Liu Susu couldn't laugh or cry at all: " Okay, you two, these little guys haven't even reached school yet, and we've already started."

This kind of chicken behavior is unacceptable.

Everyone knew they were joking, but when it came to business, they immediately said seriously: "Xiao Liu, what Captain Zhang said today, if it really works, can it really increase production?"

Chen Nan also looked serious.

We all work in the fields. Although men get allowances in the army, how can they support a large family with that little money? And even if you have money, you can't buy many fine grains.

The food problem is the biggest thing in life.

Liu Susu nodded: "Theoretically it is feasible, and if you have time, you can go to my field and have a look. The crops where the bamboo pipes are buried are obviously growing better."

As he said that, he added some of the The principle was explained to the two of them, "When the water pipes arrive, we can start work."

After saying this, the two of them were satisfied.

The three people worked quickly and quickly packed up the things. As soon as they left, Liu Susu called a few children to come over and take a bath.

Everyone was here today, and the children were playing like crazy. They fell asleep immediately without her urging them as soon as they went to bed.

Liu Susu covered several children with quilts, and then she saw Han Lie coming back with a cold breath. She was startled: "What are you doing?"

Han Lie shook his head and said nothing, just said: "Shall we go get the certificate the day after tomorrow?"

"Okay." Liu Susu pointed to the kitchen, "Go and wash quickly, and be gentle later. Don't wake them up if they are all asleep."

She originally thought that Han Lie went out because of something important, but she waited until the next day. When Tian met Lu Lingzhi's mother-in-law, she smiled and said: "Xiao Liu, remember to tell Xiao Han that tomorrow will be a good day, but it will not be as good as the day after tomorrow. If he is anxious, tomorrow will be fine."

Liu Susu was confused . Shui: "Auntie, what are you talking about?"

"It's just Xiao Han. He suddenly came over last night and asked me to see which day is better these days. I said it was the 13th. He was a little anxious and thought it was too late. Well, this morning I looked through the old almanac again, and the day on the 12th is not bad."

After Lu Lingzhi's mother-in-law said, she asked: "Xiao Liu, what is Xiao Han going to do?"

What else can you do? They are choosing a day to pull the certificate!

She said why Han Lie suddenly said last night that he couldn't do it today, and when he went out, he told her to change it to the day after tomorrow. After a long time, she felt that she was too perfunctory, so he specially asked Granny Lu Lingzhi to calculate an auspicious day.

Liu Susu couldn't help but laugh. How could this man be so serious and cute sometimes?

"It's okay, Auntie. He probably just wanted to see which day would be better for our house to start construction. When he found out it was too late, he just let it go." Liu Susu casually made an excuse to fool him. Originally, she planned to go to work directly, but when she thought of what Han Lie had done, she stumbled and went to find Yu Hongying.

"Auntie, do you still have meat tickets at home? Let's exchange them?" She spent all the meat tickets at once last time. In addition to refining lard, everyone came to eat one pound that day, and the rest was used Let's make it into a little red star gift from Han XiuXiu.

Han Lie paid so much attention to the ceremony that she couldn't be careless, so she thought of exchanging some meat tickets to go back and have something good to eat on the day of receiving the certificate, which could be considered a celebration.

Lu Lingzhi and Chen Nan's family must have a tighter budget than hers, so Liu Susu went directly to Yu Hongying. She was the director of the family department. Mr. Zhong's position was not low, so their allowances were certainly much looser than theirs.

Yu Hongying smiled and said, "It's true. How much do you want, Xiaoliu?"

"Auntie, can you give me two kilograms of it? I'll exchange it for you with cloth coupons." Liu Susu was afraid that Yu Hongying would give it to her directly, so she immediately stopped talking.

Yu Hongying smiled and said, "Okay, I won't be polite to you this time. Zhong Yi is getting married, and it's time to issue tickets." "

So soon?!" Zhong Yi is Yu Hongying's eldest daughter, and Liu Susu has never met her. , but seeing the looks of her and Mr. Zhong, you can tell that Zhong Yi looks pretty good.

"It's not too soon, she's nineteen this year! When she comes back, Lao Zhong and I will discuss setting up a table in the cafeteria, and you and Xiao Han will come together." Yu Hongying looked very happy, smiling so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes. .

Liu Susu nodded: "Okay, thank you, Auntie."

After exchanging the meat tickets, on the morning of receiving the certificate, Liu Susu went to the supply and marketing cooperative to grab two kilograms of meat. She came earlier than that day with Chen Nan and grabbed the best pork belly. , fat and thin, looking tempting.

When I got home and put the meat in the cabinet, I looked back and saw that the children were like little cannonballs, ready to go.

Liu Susu was slightly startled: "Are they going too?"

Han Lie said: "When I borrowed the car, I said we would go to the county town to buy things."

The Civil Affairs Bureau only exists in the county town. If you want to go there, you have to rent a military car. The things they get the certificate cannot be known to others. , so I still have to find an excuse.

Liu Susu felt a little weird inexplicably, okay, they were the only ones who had to get married in an open and honest manner but had to get the certificate secretly.

The children were very happy. After getting in the car, they looked left and right, especially Han Cheng, who kept mumbling as if there was a motor on his lips.

This time, Han Lie drove there by himself, and Liu Susu didn't have to sit in the back to accompany the children. The front was spacious, and the windows were open and a breeze blew in. She fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, she suddenly found that they had arrived at the county seat. .

"We..." Liu Susu turned around and was about to ask how far away the Civil Affairs Bureau was when she was suddenly struck by the handsome appearance of Han Lie driving.

Because he was going to take wedding photos, Han Lie specially put on a new military uniform. It was hot and he only wore a shirt.

The sleeves were lifted up and rolled up at the elbows, revealing the strong and beautiful forearms. The fingers with clear joints grasped the steering wheel and fiddled with it easily. A pair of eyes like a falcon stared straight ahead seriously.

Liu Susu had heard someone say before that when you meet a person and think he is good-looking, it is basically a novelty. Once you get used to it, it won't be so amazing anymore.

But when she looked at Han Lie, she felt that he was more handsome than when they first met. With this face and figure, she felt that even if they didn't have feelings for each other, she would still be willing to spend their lives together.

Han Lie noticed her gaze: "What's wrong?"

Liu Susu quickly turned her head: "It's okay, are you here?"

"Almost, just in front."

The Civil Affairs Bureau of the county town is not big, and today is an auspicious day for those who come to collect the certificate. Quite a lot.

Liu Susu was afraid that a few children would run around, so she asked them to stay in the car. She and Han Lie lined up and waited for almost half an hour before it was their turn.

Obtaining the certificate now is similar to that of later generations, except that Han Lie is a soldier and has an extra step of submitting a marriage report. Once the report is approved, he can take photos.

The bright red cloth was used as the background, and there were two chairs in front. The distance between the chairs was obviously measured. When the two people sat down, they were neither far nor close, just right side by side.

Liu Susu has seen other people's wedding photos. Although she has never taken any photos, she still knows what to do.

She smoothed her pigtails, leaned her head slightly towards Han Lie, and curved her mouth to reveal what she thought was a perfect smile. But the next second she heard the photographer say: "Comrade, don't smile so big."

Liu Susu thought it was a sign . She was worried about whether it was because she had some bad thoughts about Han Lie in the car just now. Her smile was too perverted. When she was about to say sorry, she saw the photographer pointing to the side: "That's right. You're gay."

Gay? !

Liu Susu couldn't believe it, and hurriedly looked, but before she could turn her head, she heard the photographer say again: "Lesbian, why are you turning around again!"

Liu Susu said: "..."

She quickly did not dare to move anymore, and finally for the first time When the shutter was pressed three times, the anxious photo of the two was finally taken.

After the photos are pasted on the small notebook and stamped, the marriage certificate is completely completed.

Liu Susu stared at the photo for several times and found that she had eaten well during these days and had indeed recovered a lot. Even though she was a scumbag now, she looked pretty good in the photo.

Of course, Han Lie is better looking.

Liu Susu suddenly thought of something and looked at Han Lie with a smile: "Captain Han, what were you laughing at just now?"

Han Lie put the marriage certificate into his pocket and didn't dare to look at Liu Susu: "It's not just for taking pictures. Do you want to laugh?"

"Yes, I want to laugh, but why are you smiling so big?" Liu Susu didn't let him go.

"No."

Still not admitting it?

"The master just said it."

Han Lie's ears were red, but Liu Susu kept asking so he didn't notice, "He has lost his eyesight due to his age."

Liu Susu said: "..."

What else did he want to say, but the two of them had already left. When he got to the car, Han Cheng stretched out his little black paw and beckoned from a distance: "Mom, are you done?" "

Done."

Han Cheng couldn't wait to say: "Then we can go to the department store. Have you played?"

The last time he played with Niu Dan, Niu Dan said that the happiest thing was to go to the county town with his parents, so that he could go to the department store. It was so fun there and had everything!

Ever since hearing this, Han Cheng has been obsessed with the department store. Even when he kicked Han Qian in bed last night, he was dreaming of going to the department store. He was so happy that he accidentally ran forward.

Liu Susu nodded: "Okay, then come down and let's walk there."

After all, it is a department store in the county town. It has more complete items than the supply and marketing cooperative in the military region. Not only does she have something to buy, but so does the children.

After Liu Susu decided to come to the county town today, she told several children in advance that the newly saved little red stars this time could be used to buy things in the department store. No matter what she bought, as long as it cost less than one yuan.

When Han Cheng heard this, he immediately raised his hand: "Mom, where's the big brother? He already has more than forty." Han Jin hasn't exchanged it yet, so he has extra.

"Twenty pieces are one piece, and forty pieces are two pieces." Liu Susu said.

Suddenly, all the children looked at Han Jin with envy, knowing that they would not honor it before. How great it would be if I could spend an extra dollar to buy things!

Han Cheng, a little guy who is usually silly but is particularly clever when it comes to food, quickly said: "Mom, can I borrow the stars first and then return them to you when I earn them?"

Liu Susu looked at him in surprise. At first glance, he looked like a smart little guy, but unfortunately "No."

Han Qian continued: "Mom, can I change it into money? I don't want to buy anything worth one yuan, so just give me nine cents." After that, he

returned He looked at her with a "good deal" look.

Liu Susu: "...No, except that the stars this time can be saved for next time, nothing else will work."

Han Qian originally wanted to save the stars this time for exchange for money next time, but when he actually came to the department store, he wanted to save the stars for next time. Looking at the dazzling array of things in the building, he immediately became like Han Cheng, unable to move his eyes away.

Liu Susu followed them, since Han Lie would follow them anyway, so she went to take a look at the daily necessities.

In fact, there aren't many things that are bad at home right now, except for the lack of food and meat, but these all require tickets. The prices here are no different from those at the Military Region Supply and Marketing Cooperative. If you buy them here, you won't bother to take them back.

Liu Susu looked at it and suddenly found a mat on a shelf not far away. She glanced at it twice and the salesperson brought it over: "Comrade, do you want to buy a mat?"

I must buy a mat. It's early May here. It's starting to get hot. By June, it will definitely be extremely hot. Now that there is no electric fan, a mat is indispensable.

Liu Susu touched it and found that the current mat was still a bit rough. "How much does it cost?"

"Five yuan."

Five yuan? !

"Thank you, comrade. I'll buy it again later." Suddenly

, Liu Susu lost interest in buying it. It was too expensive. Five yuan could buy six or seven kilograms of meat!

Isn't this mat made of bamboo? When she had time in two days, she went to cut bamboo and try to weave it. She couldn't believe that it couldn't be used!

Liu Susu turned around and left very forcefully, and stopped again when she reached the next counter. This time she took her fancy to a clock.

In the past, when there was a mobile phone, there was no need for a watch or a clock. You could tell the time by pressing the phone. But now that you don't have a mobile phone, Liu Susu feels how difficult it is to be without a clock, especially since she is not used to looking at the sky like others. , every time I want to know the approximate time, I can only ask Han Lie.

The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have any clocks to buy, so I might as well take one back with me while I'm here.

While he was watching, Han Lie came over, thought for a while and said, "Why don't you buy a watch?"

Nowadays, all the clocks are wall clocks, which can only be kept in the house. It is convenient without a watch.

Liu Susu lowered her voice: "I'd like to, but it's a pity that I don't have the money. It would be nice to have a clock."

After saying that, she asked the salesperson to help her take out the slightly larger clock.

The clock is also expensive and requires a battery, but no matter how expensive it is, you still have to buy one.

In order to prevent herself from spending money indiscriminately, after buying the clock, Liu Susu decided not to read anything and followed Han Lie directly to find some small ones.

As a result, when she found a few children, she had two more barrels of malted milk in her hand.

"Twenty yuan, this is too expensive!" Liu Susu said angrily.

Following behind, Han Lie couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He didn't expect that he could see such a different side of her. He thought that Liu Susu would always be the same as when she did things, neatly and without blinking an eye. At this time, she looked particularly lively and bright.

"Han Lie, do we have milk to buy here?" Liu Susu looked back at him. She bought malted milk mainly to replenish the health of her children. Although she has carefully raised them these days, the children have grown a lot. Meat, but the loss was too great in the past, and I was afraid that they would not grow taller in the future, so it would be better to supplement them with more nutrients.

But malted milk was too expensive, and its nutritional value was not as good as milk. If she could order milk, she would be willing to spend more.

Han Lie nodded.

"Is there really one?"

"There used to be, but now it's gone." Han Lie said, "We are close to the northwest. There are many farms over there with many dairy cows, and there is fresh milk every day." At the beginning, it

was also the military region and the farms over there . It was agreed upon that a car of fresh milk would be delivered every day. It was not far away, just a three- to four-hour drive. But fresh milk doesn't taste good, and many people don't think it's nutritious and don't want to spend the money. In addition, when the weather gets hot, it's harder to transport and it's easy to spoil on the way, so I simply didn't order it later. .

Liu Susu didn't expect such a thing to happen, but it was normal. Nowadays, many people don't know how to handle fresh milk. When it is cooked directly, it smells fishy, ​​and people who are not used to it can't drink it at all.

But Liu Susu can make it, and the fresh milk can not only be cooked and drank, but can also be made into other snacks.

When there are many children in the family and the body is growing, no matter how good the food is, snacks are indispensable.

Although today's snacks are not like those of later generations, with various additives added and making them unsafe to eat, they are expensive.

The most common biscuits and twists are made of fine grains, which are not cheap and require food stamps to buy them. The cheapest ones are various fruit candies, but eating them is not good for your teeth.

Liu Susu thought about it and felt that she couldn't miss the opportunity to order milk, "Han Lie, if I want to buy it, can I still buy it now?"

Han Lie was a little confused: "You want to drink this? It doesn't taste good. "

He was afraid that Liu Susu wouldn't know, so he specifically said that he had drunk it once before, and he was injured on that mission. This was included in the patient meal in the hospital. After Han Lie drank it once, he never wanted to drink it again.

"I know, but I can make it delicious, and it's good for the children." Liu Susu said.

Han Lie thought for a while and said, "You can ask the Chief Secretary. He was the one who helped arrange the milk order."

Liu Susu nodded and noted it down.

While the two were talking, several children came over and said that they had already chosen what they wanted to buy.

As expected, Han Cheng's mind is always the one with the best guess. Little Black's paws firmly grasped a small bag of candy and said as if offering a treasure:

"Mom, look! Niu Dan said this kind of candy is delicious. And I asked, it's only 95 cents per bag, you can still save some!"

Liu Susu: "..." I really thank you.

But after reacting, Liu Susu's eyes suddenly lit up, knowing that 95 cents could be saved... Could it be that Comrade Han Cheng already knew how to subtract?

This is incredible!

She was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Xiao Cheng, what is one hundred minus ninety-five?"

Although Liu Susu was not very worried about her four children, in terms of study, she felt that the one she needed to worry about most in the future was Han Cheng. .

She always felt that the little guy was smart, but a little bit not very smart, so she was worried about this.

But today, she suddenly felt like she saw a glimmer of hope. If Han Cheng had figured out subtraction before going to school, wouldn't that prove her wrong?

Liu Susu looked at the little guy expectantly, her eyes filled with excitement.

The next second, Han Cheng scratched his head and smiled: "Mom, what is one hundred? What is ninety-five? Is one hundred bigger than ninety-five?"

Liu Susu: "..."

In an instant, her eyes The excitement inside disappeared.

She took a deep breath and touched Han Cheng's little head. Without saying anything, she turned around to see what the other children had bought.

Han Cheng raised his head and said, "Uncle Han, why didn't mother talk?"

Han Lie suppressed a smile and said, "It's okay, your mother probably just wants to be quiet."

After coming out of the department store, he was almost ready to go back. Han Lie suddenly grabbed Liu Susu and pointed Pointing not far away.

Looking in the direction of his finger, it was a photo studio.

Liu Susu looked at him: "You want to take pictures?" Didn't they take pictures before?

Han Lie shook his head: "Xiaoqian and Xiaocheng were looking at our marriage certificate just now, why don't we take a family photo?"

Liu Susu did have plans to take a family photo, but not now.

She leaned back on tiptoes. The sudden approach made Han Lie's whole body stiffen. Before he could say anything, he heard her say: "We will shoot after Xiao Jin is well."

Han Lie reacted and felt a little guilty in his heart: " I forgot for a moment."

Liu Susu didn't care, Han Lie was busy all day long, so it was normal for him to forget.

"It's okay, we are husband and wife now, as long as one of us remembers it."

She waved her hand casually.

Han Lie was stunned, unable to suppress the raised corners of his mouth where Liu Susu couldn't see him.

Yes,

they are finally a real couple now.

——

Because of the matter of obtaining the certificate, Liu Susu specifically asked Captain Zhang for a whole morning's leave. As soon as she returned from the county seat, she opened the package sent by Liu Shurong.

Everything inside was food sent from home. The environment in my hometown was better than that in the military area, and there were more local products. When I opened the package, I saw half a rabbit.

There isn't much meat, and you can tell it's a hare just by touching it.

Liu Susu suddenly remembered that she had made an appointment with Chen Nan to go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and she didn't know if there were such things in the mountains here.

Apart from the rabbit, the only things left were some dried fungus and the shoes Liu Shurong made for a few children.

Although with Lu Lingzhi's help, Liu Susu's craftsmanship has improved a lot now, but it is only limited to clothes, and she doesn't know how to do difficult tasks like shoes.

Liu Shurong was very good at making shoes, with thick soles and soft uppers. Liu Susu waved to the children: "Come, try the shoes made by grandma." "

Wow! Grandma made them!"

Han Qian and Han Cheng He ran over immediately and couldn't wait to take off his shoes and started trying them on, while Han Jin and Han Xiuxiu stood still.

Liu Susu looked at the two little guys, her heart aching: "Xiaojin and Xiuxiu, let's give it a try."

After saying this, the two little guys' eyes suddenly lit up, and they hesitated a little after thinking about it, Han Xiuxiu asked cautiously: "Auntie, do we have some too?"

"Of course, grandma also made them for you. Look, Xiuxiu's ones are still red." Liu Susu handed over the brand-new shoes and held up the beautiful new ones. Shoes, the two children dared to believe that they, like their brothers, also had their own shoes.

Han Lie also asked for leave this morning and was throwing mud in the yard. When he turned around, he could see Han Jin and Han Xiuxiu happily holding their new shoes. Their eyes were full of cherishment and disbelief. They couldn't wait any longer. What they said was when Han Cheng, who looked excited, pulled him over and said loudly:

"Brother, sister, let's wear new shoes together! Mom said we are a family, and a family should wear them together."

Four The little guy puts on his shoes, you touch my feet, and I touch your feet. They are obviously the same shoes, but they must choose a better-looking one.

Looking at the children playing together, Han Lie felt extremely happy and lucky at this moment. At least in the past, he had never known that several children could laugh so happily.

Liu Susu didn't know what Han Lie was thinking. At this time, she had already taken out the item she was looking forward to most from the package. Seeing her careful look, the sharp-eyed Han Cheng immediately ran over: "Mom, is this delicious?" As

soon as the bag was opened, Han Cheng was disappointed: "This one, one by one, doesn't look good. Eat."

"Isn't it delicious? Mom tells you, there is nothing more delicious than this in the world." Liu Susu said with great appreciation.

In fact, this is rice seed.

As the days passed, Liu Susu felt that she really wanted to eat rice, but there was nothing for sale here. Even when she went to the county town twice, she couldn't find it.

When she wrote a letter last time, she asked Liu Shurong to ask her if anyone had rice seeds for sale. If so, she could plant them herself.

Liu Susu just wanted to try it, but she didn't expect Liu Shurong to actually buy it.

But it's not easy to grow rice. They don't have paddy fields here. If you want to grow it, you have to retreate it yourself. There is definitely no time now. Liu Susu thought about it and decided to wait until summer, when there is more rain, to try again.

Just as he was about to collect the rice, Han Cheng immediately followed him: "Mom, what are you doing collecting it? If it's so delicious, let's try it first." "

It's delicious, but you can't eat it now. Help mom put it in." In the drawer, I'll make something delicious for you."

Han Cheng's eyes lit up: "What's delicious?"

"Meat."

The pork belly bought early in the morning has been marinated in salt, and the weather is not yet It's too hot, but it's still fresh even if it's made now.

Just last night, Chen Nan brought over a lot of lettuce. It was juicy and crispy. She cut the pork belly into slices, grilled them in a pot, then wrapped them in a sauce made of chili powder and cumin, and wrapped them in lettuce. Put it into your mouth and it's the most tempting barbecue.

When she thought of the taste, Liu Susu felt that she might have bought less than two kilograms of meat. The five meat-hungry father and son in front of her could probably eat another two kilograms.

Just when he was about to do it, Han Cheng suddenly pouted and asked doubtfully: "But mother, our little red star is gone, how can we still eat meat?"

Oh, this snack is really amazing. Can you still resist temptation and think independently when there is meat to eat?

Liu Susu was very surprised and was stunned before answering.

"Under normal circumstances, there is indeed no such thing, but today is not a good day. We have to celebrate, so we can make an exception to eat meat." "

That's great, mother, go quickly!" Han Cheng thought of going up The fish balls this time and the twice-cooked pork last time made me salivate. But he didn't expect that the barbecue this time would be even more delicious than the previous ones!

Even though he was with vegetables, which he hated the most, he still had a round belly after eating. With his round watermelon belly, his mother asked him to get up and take a walk to eat.

Han Cheng walked around twice and saw the empty dishes on the table. The food in his stomach had not yet been digested, so he began to think about the next meal. In order to let himself eat such delicious meat again, he thought for a while, Walking towards the kitchen with short legs.

"Uncle Han."

Han Lie, who was washing the dishes, looked down and found Han Cheng staring at him seriously: "Uncle Han, do you know what day it is today, and why is mother so happy?"

Han Lie was stunned: " Are you happy?"

"Yes, mother said today is a good day, and she only cooks meat when she is happy."

The purpose of Han Cheng's question is to find out why his mother is so happy. If he understands, then he will be happy in the future. You can eat meat more often, but the attention of the person he asked has already wandered away.

He couldn't help but ask: "Is your mother really happy?"

"Of course, she will only cook meat for us when she is very happy." After Han Cheng finished speaking, he saw Uncle Han suddenly laughing, and he laughed even more. The happier he became, the more confused he became, "Uncle Han, are you happy today too?"

"Happy." Han Lie said without hesitation. He didn't expect Liu Susu to be so happy about getting the certificate. Today she even laughed at him when taking pictures. The smile was so big that Han Lie thought she didn't feel anything at all, but now it seemed that the truth was exactly the opposite of what he thought.

Fortunately, Han Cheng told him, otherwise he would have been kept in the dark...

When he thought of this, Han Lie couldn't help but want to throw Han Cheng into the air and catch it to celebrate, but when he thought of the little guy He was young and might be afraid of heights, so he could only hold back his joy and said: "Thank you, Xiao Cheng. When uncle pays the allowance, I will buy you some candies!"

Han Cheng was extremely happy: "That's great! Thank you, Uncle Han!"

The little guy held his face and smiled happily. He was so lucky. His mother was happy because he had meat to eat, and Uncle Han was happy because he had sweets to eat.

Oh, if only Mom and Uncle Han could be so happy every day!

——Liu

Susu had already gone out at this time. Han Lie was at home, so she couldn't be used for washing dishes, so she took advantage of her free time to go to the chief secretary and tell her that she wanted to buy milk.

The chief secretary was stunned: "Milk? Xiaoliu, that taste is not delicious!"

The chief secretary thought she lived in the east and had never drank this, so she wanted to try it out of curiosity, so he quickly advised her.

Liu Susu waved her hand: "Don't worry, Chief Secretary. I know what milk tastes like. I just want to buy it and give it a try."

The Chief Secretary's expression was a little confused: "How many do you want to buy?"

"Three barrels."

"So much!" The Chief Secretary said in surprise. , "Fresh milk doesn't last long."

"I know it well." Liu Susu didn't buy so much for her family to drink. She planned to make milk popular in the entire military region again. In this way, the little ones at home would like to Drinking milk is convenient.

*****

Chapter 20

◎An accident occurred◎

Seeing that Liu Susu really wanted it, the chief said: "Okay, when Xiaofang goes to the farm, I will ask him to bring you three barrels." There

used to be many people in the military region. When I ordered milk, there was a special car that would deliver it every day, but now it is gone. If you want it, you can only wait for the canteen to bring it over when the supplies are exchanged.

Liu Susu nodded: "Okay, I'll trouble you then."

The chief of staff was about to say that I will deliver it to you when the milk is brought back. The next second, Liu Susu said: "It will be ready by then. Come and taste it too." Once you taste it, it tastes good!"

Although he had to pay for the milk order himself, Liu Susu couldn't help but express his willingness to help. As soon as he finished speaking, the next second the Secretary quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no. "Okay, Xiaoliu, you can just keep it for yourself."

The fishy smell of milk is even worse than sea fish! He couldn't stand it. Even though he knew that Xiaoliu's cooking skills were good, the chief secretary felt that he should not take the risk.

He is old. If he vomits what he eats, wouldn't it ruin the fun of the young comrade?

The resistance in these words was so obvious that Liu Susu couldn't laugh or cry, so she could only give up: "Okay, then you can try whatever delicious food you make at home."

Of course it's okay!

The chief of staff nodded repeatedly. Anyway, anything is fine, as long as it's not milk.

After saying this, Liu Susu went directly to the Military Affairs Office, guessing that the time was almost up.

Xiaoqian came back from the city two days ago. The water pipes had been put on hold before because they were not tough enough. But after Liu Susu figured out how to use silk thread, she found that it worked, so Captain Zhang asked Xiaoqian to buy 200 meters and planned to bring it back. Try it first and if you can, then start buying in bulk.

The factories in the city have already drilled holes in the water pipes, so there is no need to hammer them in one by one like Liu Susu did before.

But because the field she chose this time was a field in the military area, it was not only large in area, but also far away from the mountains. She could no longer directly use the streams on the mountains to divert water like she did. She could only go to the river to fill two large tanks with water, and then use a small water pump. Pull out.

When Liu Susu passed by, Captain Zhang and Xiao Qian had already assembled the water pipes. According to her, they should be raised with stones at regular intervals so that the water can penetrate better.

"Xiao Liu, do you think this will work?" Captain Zhang said.

Liu Susu nodded: "No problem."

After saying this, Captain Zhang raised his hand towards Xiao Qian who was not far away, and Xiao Qian immediately pressed the switch of the water pump.

The current water pump is still an honest diesel engine. When the switch is pressed, there is a loud noise immediately, but as the sound is heard, soon, the water flows out along the water tank, squeezes into the narrow pipe, and finally flows along the small hole. The next drop.

It has not rained for several days now, and the water droplets fell to the ground, leaving very obvious traces immediately. Captain Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's done! It's finally done!"

Liu Susu didn't. So optimistic, I walked all the way to the final location of the water pipe. After waiting for several minutes, I found that the ground here had not been wet. I walked up a few steps and walked to the nearest place where water flowed out. I made a Mark: "It seems that the longest section of the pipe is this long, so the water tank needs to be relocated."

The water pump has impact, but no matter how high the water pressure is, if there are small holes in the water pipe, it will not flow for hundreds of meters. The pipe is long, so a new water tank must be placed some distance apart.

"It's easy. Just ask Xiaoqian to get two more when the time comes." Captain Zhang said nonchalantly.

After all, drip irrigation is not used. When watering manually, one has to carry water and run over the entire field. You also have to scoop water out of the bucket and water it one crop after another while walking. Now you just pour the water on the water. In the tank, it saves a lot of effort!

Seeing the water droplets gradually seeping into the ground, Captain Zhang said cheerfully: "I have already told Lao Zhong that as long as it can be proven that this water pipe is feasible and can be sustained, we will buy it in large quantities from factories in the city!"

Is drip irrigation available? With this incident, Liu Susu had already proven it in her own corn field. If anyone doesn't believe it, just look directly into the corn field and you will see that the very different seedlings are the best answer.

So the biggest question now is whether the water pipe is durable. As long as it can be used, you can start buying it. But you don't have to wait too long, maybe three to five days is enough.

Captain Zhang was very happy and couldn't help but said: "Xiao Liu, if this really works, you will be a big contributor when the grain is put into the warehouse at the end of the year! Don't worry, I will definitely let Lao Zhong take credit for you!"

Liu Susu couldn't laugh or cry at all. : "Okay, thank you, Captain."

In the past, she would definitely have refused. After all, now that she has joined the Military Affairs Office, this is considered her duty.

But it definitely won't work now. She had heard Han Lie say before that in addition to military merit and promotion, the rewards given by the military were money or votes. Liu Susu was not a soldier and could not be promoted, so she was short of both money and votes. , of course the more the better.

The water tank needs someone to take care of it to prevent anything from happening. Captain Zhang asked Xiao Qian to stay. Liu Susu was fine at the moment, so she planned to go back first. Taking advantage of the early time, she called Chen Nan and Lu Lingzhi to go with them. Digging wild vegetables in the mountains.

Several children were playing together and didn't want to leave, so Liu Susu didn't ask them to join them. When she turned around, she found a little tail suddenly appeared behind her.

"Xiao Jin wants to go with Auntie?"

Han Jin nodded, his eyes shining brightly under his hat, and he took the initiative to take the backpack from Liu Susu's hand.

Lu Lingzhi came out of the house and saw that he was so small, carrying a basket that was almost as tall as herself. She was afraid that he would not be able to carry it, so he immediately said: "Xiao Jin, give the basket to your aunt quickly. Can't you carry it?" Okay."

Liu Susu knew that the little guy liked this feeling of being valued, so she never stopped him from doing things. When she heard Lu Lingzhi's words, she was about to explain when she felt Han Jin squeeze her hand tightly and said to her He looked at Lu Lingzhi and said, "I can do it."

For a moment, Lu Lingzhi was stunned, and so was Chen Nan.

Even the children in the yard couldn't help but stop.

Lu Lingzhi's eyes widened: "Xiao Liu, this, this..."

After a long time, he didn't know how to express his surprise.

Han Cheng, who was still in the yard, said loudly: "Auntie, eldest brother always helps mother with things at home. Don't worry."

Lu Lingzhi: "..."

Is she worried? She couldn't believe it!

She has known Han Jin for so long. She had met Liu Susu before she came here. It was her man, Captain Wang, who said that the two children would be taken away from their parents. Han Lie was young and was afraid that he would not be able to take care of the children, so he just let her have one. Empty to take care of take care of.

But she has been to Han Lie's house so many times, but she has never heard Han Jin speak! She thought Han Jin couldn't speak, but today he suddenly said something, can you not be surprised?

Liu Susu smiled, obviously she had known about this for a long time. Lu Lingzhi could only look at Chen Nan, who didn't close his mouth at this time: "Sister-in-law, don't look at me, I didn't expect this either."

She was surprised. At the same time, the look he looked at Liu Susu was filled with a little admiration.

I thought Sister-in-law Liu was so awesome. Not only had she made the children fatter by taking care of them, but now even Han Jin was willing to talk!

Liu Susu smiled and said, "Okay, let's leave quickly."

Han Jin felt embarrassed if he continued to watch.

"Okay, let's go." Lu Lingzhi and Chen Nan are not imprudent people. They know that they think "the child can't speak" and they cannot say it in front of Han Jin. After all, no matter who it is, they don't want to do it themselves. Being treated as a mute, he immediately put away his surprise and walked up the mountain together.

In the yard, as soon as they left, Han Cheng turned around and asked, "Niudan, why didn't you beat me? Isn't it your turn?"

Except for the two little girls Han Xiuxiu and Xiaotian, they were all I'm writing a pictorial. How can I be distracted by such a fierce war?

Niudan scratched his head: "Xiao Cheng, your brother can actually talk?"

Han Cheng was a little stupid and didn't hear clearly, but Han Qian understood. Although he and Han Jin did not have the same relationship with Han Cheng, his biological brother. The relationship is so good, but my mother said that they are a family and must protect each other.

He immediately said unhappily: "What does it mean to be able to talk? My eldest brother can talk, and he speaks very well!"

Han Cheng nodded: "That's right! If you keep saying that, Niu Dan, I won't follow you." You're done playing."

Niu Dan immediately said: "Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, let's continue."

-

Liu Susu originally came to the mountain to dig wild vegetables, but today she had another purpose - to catch pheasants .

Although the meat of wild rabbits is more delicious, rabbits are too flexible, so she feels that she will definitely not be able to catch them. There is still some possibility of catching pheasants. As soon as she went up the mountain, she asked if there were any pheasants on the mountain.

Lu Lingzhi said: "Yes! Why not? There are even wild boars in our mountains. When there is no food in winter, crops will begin."

Liu Susu was a little scared: "Isn't that dangerous?"

She didn't touch the wild boars. After all, in the future, wild boars are rarely seen except in deep mountains and old forests, but she has heard people say that these black hairy things are quite lethal.

"It's not dangerous. So when winter comes, everyone stops running to the mountains. At most, they dig some winter bamboo shoots at the foot of the mountains." Lu Lingzhi smiled again after saying, "But there are advantages. As soon as they come down, the troops will organize People go hunting for wild boars and can catch a lot of them. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, meat is in season."

Wild boar meat has a foul smell and is not tasty, but in this age of lack of food and clothing, some people eat bitter herbs, even more so. Not to mention meat, there is so much that people want it.

Liu Susu nodded: "Yes."

But the reason why the troops were able to catch wild boars was because they had guns. She had no tools with her bare hands, so it was not easy to catch pheasants. In addition, it was just summer, and there was a lot to eat in the woods. The pheasant didn't run away and didn't even see a shadow.

The plan to catch pheasants was officially declared bankrupt before it even got underway, but the pheasants were not seen, so Liu Susu discovered something unexpected.

"Is this tea?"

Lu Lingzhi has been here the longest and knows where the wild vegetables are most abundant. He led them to a sloping land and found that the wild vegetables here were all lush and lush. It's summer, and wild vegetables are not as tender as in previous months. Only the center part is delicious when fried.

But it doesn't matter. I've picked out the inedible parts and chopped them into pieces to feed the chickens.

Several people immediately started digging with small shovels. Han Jin wanted to help, but there was only one shovel. Liu Susu was just about to ask him to pick some skullcap nearby. This can be soaked in water after it is dried. The wild chrysanthemums at home have been used these days. It's almost the same. Scutellaria baicalensis can also clear away heat and anneal fire, and the effect is better than wild chrysanthemum.

But as soon as I brought Han Jin here, I saw a low tree on the side that looked familiar. I picked some off and smelled it, and found that it was really a wild tea tree.

Lu Lingzhi, who was digging wild vegetables, turned around and took a look: "It's a wild tea tree. There are a lot of them there."

Tea was very popular in the past, and it has been very popular since it arrived, but no one wants it these years.

The reason is also very simple. Drinking tea will make you hungry, and it can also refresh your mind. In this era of food shortage, everyone wants to sleep as quickly as possible at night. After all, you will not be hungry when you sleep. This requires drinking tea. I can't sleep even in the middle of the night, and the longer I stay up, the hungrier I get. Isn't that asking for trouble for myself?

Normally, Liu Susu wouldn't need it, but when she thought about the three barrels of milk she had just ordered from the Secretary General today, the wild tea tree seemed to turn golden in her eyes.

——Represents delicious golden color.

"Xiao Jinlai, my aunt will teach you how to pick tea leaves!"

Seeing that Liu Susu had stopped digging for wild vegetables and ran over to pick tea leaves, Lu Lingzhi and Chen Nan were extremely confused, "Sister-in-law, what do you want that thing for?"

Liu Susu was so profound. He said: "I am of great use. You will know it when the time comes."

Let's do it.

Anyway, they didn't think the tea could be of any use. Since Liu Susu wanted it, they would help her dig up the wild vegetables.

They arrived relatively late, and after finishing the work, it was almost dark, so they hurried back first.

After dinner, Liu Susu cleaned the inside and outside of the pot. In order to ensure that there was no oil, she also specially used saponin. Han Lie came back from outside. Just when he was about to ask what he was doing, Liu Susu pulled him to help light the fire.

Han Lie flicked the match and lit the hay, "I just finished eating, what else do you want to do?"

"It's not cooking, I want to fry some tea leaves."

Han Lie didn't know what the tea leaves could be used for, so he didn't ask much and just helped quietly. Make a fire.

Frying and drying tea leaves makes them more fragrant and easier to preserve. Liu Susu has never been fried before, but this is easy. Just keep tanning by hand to let the moisture inside be taken away by the high temperature.

But it was easy for her to think, but as the temperature in the pot got higher and higher, as soon as she grabbed the tea leaves, her palms were burned red. Liu Susu accidentally hissed. The sound was very soft, but Han Lie heard it immediately. , walked over quickly.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's just a little hot. I'll just put on some gloves."

Han Lie handed the tongs to her: "I'll do it. I have strong hands and I'm not afraid of being burned."

He has been training all year round, and his hands are covered with It was easier to remove calluses than wearing gloves, so Liu Susu said nothing.

The fire for frying tea leaves should not be too strong. You can only add two thin sticks of firewood to the stove at one time. Liu Susu broke off the branches and stuffed them in. When she looked up, she saw Han Lie's focused look, holding the tea leaves with his slender fingers, his joints covered. The high temperature made her a little red, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead, but the expression on her face was as calm as ever.

Liu Susu suddenly sighed: "Captain Han, I now realize that you are really good in the hall and in the kitchen."

Han Lie: "..."

Although this is a compliment, it feels weird to hear it.

Liu Susu thought that she and Han Jin had picked a lot, but as soon as the tea leaves were cooked, they shrank and lost even one-third of their original size. She could only wait until the next day when she had time to pick some more. Once, it took three times to finally pick it off.

Fortunately, it was thanks to Captain Han who was "well versed in both the hall and the kitchen". Otherwise, Liu Susu felt that her hands would be boiled after frying so many tea leaves.

As soon as the tea was prepared, Xiao Fang came over early the next morning.

"Comrade Liu, the chief of staff asked me to bring this to you, do you want to take a look?"

After the fresh milk was squeezed out, it was put in a bucket. It was white and looked very nutritious. Liu Susu happily accepted it. past.

Xiao Fang, who handed the bucket over, thought to himself: This Comrade Liu has probably never drank before, so he can still be so happy?

He was really curious: "Comrade Liu, why do you want so many?"

Could it be that she has never drank it before and thinks milk tastes good, so she wants to buy more in one go and drink it as water?

Liu Susu gave him the money. Milk is not expensive now. There are many cows on the farm. They only need to eat grass. The cost is not high. In addition, there are few people buying it. Such a small bucket of milk only costs 1.7 yuan.

The most important thing is that there are no tickets for this, as long as you pay, you can buy as much as you want.

Liu Susu smiled and said: "Just drink it while you're at it. When I'm done, I'll send some to you and the Chief Secretary."

Xiao Fang really wanted to say like the Chief Secretary that he didn't need it, but he was so confused that he didn't know if the milk could still be used. What to do, he nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble Comrade Liu."

Xiaofang thought that Liu Susu's large formation would probably take two or three days, so he went back first, but he didn't know that he didn't even need half an hour. , it's done.

Liu Susu entered the kitchen carrying milk, and Han Jin immediately followed her, her little hands on the stove, her big black and white eyes full of curiosity.

Liu Susu smiled and said, "Can I cook something delicious for you?"

Han Jin nodded and said, "What is it?"

"Milk tea."

That's right, Liu Susu planned to make milk tea.

When she first asked the Secretary to order milk, she wanted to make it into yogurt or dairy snacks, but yogurt was too difficult, and snacks were more troublesome. In any case, it was not as convenient as milk tea, and milk tea tasted good, so it was ready. It tastes great for all ages.

Milk is very cheap, tea leaves are picked from the mountains, and the only thing that requires some effort is sugar. But sugar is cheaper than flour.

To make milk tea, rock sugar is used. After cleaning the pot, put it in and stir-fry it. Add a little water and stir-fry until it turns caramel color, then put the tea leaves in it and cook it.

It is best to use black tea for milk tea, but this condition is not available now. Fortunately, green tea is also very fragrant. Although the astringency will be stronger, adding some white sugar to it can cover it up.

When the aroma comes out, just add the milk at the end.

The milk Liu Susu brought back was specially boiled and sterilized. The thick white liquid was poured into the pot, and the color appeared immediately.

"Xiao Jin, the fire should be smaller."

Han Jin helped Liu Susu burn the fire so many times, and he was already very good at it. Hearing this, he immediately took out two sticks from the stove with tongs, and then inserted them into the ashes of the plants and trees underneath. The flames were very bright. It's almost out.

After simmering over low heat, the thick milk tea began to steam, and the unique aroma also floated up.

Seeing that it was ready, Liu Susu poured some out and handed it to Han Jin: "Try it?"

Han Jin caught it with both hands, raised his head and took a sip. Liu Susu was about to ask him if it tasted good, when she saw the little guy His eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say: "It tastes delicious!"

Liu Susu couldn't help but laugh.

Okay, even Han Jin said it tastes good, do you still need to doubt the taste?

Milk tea will taste bitter if cooked for a long time. Liu Susu took out the thermos bottle and tied it to the mouth of the bottle with gauze. While pouring milk tea into it, she filtered the tea leaves.

I brewed enough milk tea this time, and after filling a thermos, all the rest was placed in the enamel jar.

When there were footsteps at the door, Liu Susu knew that a few children who had gone out to play had returned. When she was about to ask them to come over for some milk tea, she was shocked by what was in their arms.

"Which elder gave this to me?"

In fact, she was not surprised at first.

Ever since Cai Tao caused trouble and let everyone know that Liu Susu was not only a college student but also working in the Military Affairs Office, everyone in the entire military region looked at her with admiration.

It's okay to be impressed, but mainly because of those who followed Aunt Cai and looked down on Liu Susu. Before she came, the children at home bullied Han Jin and Han Xiuxiu. They were afraid that Liu Susu would hate them because of her hatred. Ken told them about drip irrigation.

In order to make up for it, whenever Liu Susu goes out these days, she can meet people who greet her and chat with her at any time. Although she doesn't know who the other person is at all, everyone is from the same military region. You can't pretend not to hear when others talk to you. I can only stay and chat.

As a result, after finishing talking about this one, she ran into that one again after walking a few steps. After chatting back and forth, she was almost late for work several times. As a result, whenever there was something going on in the office, she would go there early in the morning so as not to run into "acquaintances." ".

She is already like this, let alone several children.

In the beginning, as soon as a few children went out to play, they would meet a lot of people who would praise them for their good looks, cleverness, and cleverness. One day, Liu Susu even saw an aunt laughing at Han Cheng. Hehe said: Oh, this young man looks so fair and tender!

Liu Susu looked at the small briquettes not far away and was stunned on the spot.

But the little coal ball was like a fish in water this autumn. During those days, he wanted to run out every day, and whenever he went out, he would go out of his way to straighten his clothes. He even ran to the cupboard to comb his short hair with a comb. Never stop being small and never allow any problems with your image.

Although the other children did not enjoy it as much as Han Cheng, they were still very happy. After all, no matter who they are, they all like to be praised, especially the children who need a sense of recognition.

Seeing that the little ones were very happy, Liu Susu said nothing, but starting from two days ago, whenever the children went out, they would come back with a lot of things in their hands.

There's everything from cookies and twists to candies and pecans.

Liu Susu was startled, thinking it was something that had been robbed from some child. When she asked, she found out that it was given by some unknown aunts and uncles.

"Why should I give it to you?" Liu Susu was puzzled.

Han Qian said: "I don't know, so I just said let us eat." Han Cheng tilted his head and said, "Don't you even think about it? Mom, you must think we are cute! Mom, can we eat it

?"

One day, he was so hungry. If it weren't for Liu Susu Qian's warning at home, don't ask for anything given by someone you don't know outside. If the other person insists on giving it, take it back first, and don't give it to him. If he had eaten directly, Han Cheng would have finished it long ago.

"You can't eat it." Liu Susu pinched the mouth of the snack lover and realized that it was probably brought by those sisters-in-law and aunts.

She took a deep breath and asked Han Qian to take her sister and brother to return everything. Because they came back as soon as they received the items, so those people were basically talking outside, so it was not difficult to find them.

Han Cheng became anxious when he heard this: "Mom, can you really not eat it?"

"You can't eat it. This is a stranger's food and you can't eat it casually. Be good, go and return it with your brother and sister. When you come back, mother will fry eggs for you. Eat."

If this is something given by Chen Nan or Lu Lingzhi, there is no problem in eating it. After all, the two families have frequent contacts. You can just find an opportunity to return it after eating it. But these people are not only unfamiliar , they would give the children food because they were afraid that Liu Susu would not tell them about the drip irrigation.

Not to mention that it is not her decision whether to report or not, and she is not that stingy. The main reason is that she is now an employee of the Military Affairs Office, so she has to accept it casually. If a caring person like Cai Tao sees her heart, even if it is just A piece of biscuit can cause big trouble.

She had to be careful.

After this incident, Liu Susu was mentally prepared. When the children came back, she told them that they would never accept anything from strangers in the future. If others insisted on giving it to them, they would run away quickly and wait for those people to leave before going back to play.

She stayed calm like this for two days, and just when she thought the matter was over, she saw today, my dear, there were more things in the arms of the children than the previous days!

And if it was just snacks a few days ago, today it has gone up several levels.

From hard-boiled eggs, pancakes...even dried half fish!

Liu Susu took down the string of mushrooms hanging from Han Cheng's neck with a headache. "Didn't Mom tell you to run away quickly?"

Han Cheng nodded: "We ran away, but we didn't have time!"

Those people He moved faster than them, and before they could react, a lot of things were stuffed into their arms. They must have learned a lesson, and ran away as soon as they were stuffed this time. They were all adults, so they ran like a bunch of little ones. How can my legs catch up?

"There is an old lady who looks similar to grandma. She is running so fast!" Han Cheng gestured and said that the bunch of mushrooms was given by the old lady.

At that time, Han Cheng was stunned by the pile of things. He remembered what his mother said and asked Han Qian: "Brother, how about we just leave the things here?"

Han Qian shook his head: "No."

They were I was playing with other children. If I left it here and it was taken away by other children, then those people would definitely think that they took it. Thank you so much.

Han Xiuxiu also thought about this: "Let's take it home to our aunt, shall we?"

After hearing this, Liu Susu touched the heads of the two little guys: "Xiaoqian and Xiuxiu did the right thing."

If there is nothing, Well, if the favor is still with them, then it's really over.

Han Xiuxiu said: "Auntie, should we go back now?"

"No, come in first and have a sip of milk tea. Auntie will take you to return them later." It is useless to ask the children to go back, even if those people are willing If she accepts it, she will probably find an opportunity to give it back. She plans to go directly to the door and explain it to everyone so that the problem can be solved.

Han Cheng sighed fiercely on the side: "It seems that being too popular sometimes is also a kind of torture."

Liu Susu almost choked because of this little devil. She was afraid that he would say some "philosophy of life" again, so she quickly stuffed a bowl The milk tea went over and blocked his mouth: "Come here, Comrade Han Cheng, take a sip of Wangyou water, and you will not be tortured anymore."

Han Cheng looked at his mother with a look like "Is it true? I don't believe it." After drinking: "Wow! Mom, it tastes really good!!" I almost didn't even know my last name, so how could I care about that little trouble.

Han Qian and Han Xiuxiu were not so exaggerated, but they drank it all with incredulous expressions.

Liu Susu gave them milk tea in an enamel jar. The milk tea was very fragrant when it was hot, but it tasted better after it was cooled. Not only was it smoother, but the sweetness hit the children's hearts.

Needless to say, Han Qian and Han Cheng, and even Han Xiuxiu and Han Jin, two children who never asked for anything, were staring at her expectantly.

The pressure of having four little carrot heads acting cute at the same time was too much. Liu Susu couldn't resist it and could only pour another half of the bowl alone. "After drinking this, you are not allowed to drink it today, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night. If you can't sleep, you won't be able to sleep." Red star."

Han Cheng, who was about to return another bowl, said: "..."

Well, although the milk tea is delicious, the little red star is more important.

He smashed his mouth and decided that next time he collected twenty little red stars, he would not eat meat. He would ask his mother to make him a big pot of milk tea and he would drink it alone!

——After

drinking the milk tea, Liu Susu took a few children, packed all the things in backpacks, and returned them to the door.

Fortunately, the children had good memories. They asked as they walked and found the military families who were stuffing things. The other party didn't want to accept it at first, but Liu Susu knew what they were worried about, so she didn't hide it, and went straight to the point:

"Auntie, don't worry, the drip irrigation matter is for our entire military region. Now the army is conducting experiments on its own fields for testing. As long as the water pipes and water pumps can withstand high-intensity operation, as soon as the test is passed, we will immediately conduct an investigation with all our military families, and they can be installed in less than half a month.

And I am not the only one who makes the decision on drip irrigation. "It's the hard work of all the comrades in the office. Auntie, you want to thank everyone for their kindness. I received it on behalf of all the comrades in the office, but please don't give away the things! It's not easy for anyone now, let's not waste food."

Although Liu Susu The direct explanation made some people feel embarrassed at first, but after hearing these words, they immediately lost all their opinions and felt only gratitude. They took Liu Susu's hand and thanked her endlessly.

To say that they had chatted with Liu Susu and praised the children non-stop, it was somewhat fake. After all, the main purpose was to fear that Liu Susu would take revenge.

But at this time, it was truly sincere, and there was no trace of hypocrisy.

Liu Susu also smiled and chatted with everyone. She also understood that many people are like this. Although they are selfish and like to join in the fun, as long as they are not bad in nature, that's fine.

But this scene was very unpleasant in the eyes of Aunt Cai who was not far away.

These days, her life can be described as "miserable". Those who usually liked to chase her and support her now not only stopped taking the initiative to talk to her, but even when Aunt Cai came over to say hello, they ignored her.

Behind her back, they also secretly discussed: "Who dares to talk to her now? What if we don't like us and come here to frame us!"

Aunt Cai almost lost her temper when she heard this and opened her mouth. She wanted to say that those things were all done by that damn girl Cai Tao and had nothing to do with her, but she also understood that no one would believe her.

When he returned home and saw Cai Tao sleeping in her room, she became even more angry. He lifted the quilt and scolded her.

There are many people in the military area, but the environment is also closed. What spreads fastest is all kinds of gossip. When word of what happened last time spread, even Aunt Cai was affected, let alone Cai Tao.

Now she not only didn't dare to go to the art troupe, she even didn't dare to leave the house. She had been holding in her anger, but now she was scolded by Aunt Cai, and suddenly she got the confidence to confront her directly. stand up.

At the door, Vice Captain Cai and his wife happened to be back from work. When they heard the noise in the house, his wife, who had lost all face in the art troupe these days, straightened her face and said loudly: "Cai Jianqiang, if you don't put this Once things are settled, I will never come back!"

With that, he slammed the door and left.

Deputy Captain Cai had a sullen face. Hearing all the noise and curses coming from the room, he couldn't bear it and kicked the door hard. He actually wanted to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that the force was too strong and the door was kicked down. Big hole. The split wood was so sharp that it easily cut through his pants, leaving streaks of blood on his legs.

"Ah——" Deputy Captain Cai exclaimed, and Aunt Cai and Cai Tao became quiet.

Aunt Cai is a very patriarchal person, and her only son who became the deputy leader is definitely her eyeball. When she saw the blood on her son's legs, she was shocked and ran away while shouting. I came here to give him some medicine.

But Deputy Commander Cai was furious, so she turned around and left: "Get out of here!"

Aunt Cai was so angry that she beat the ground, slapped Cai Tao hard, and went out to chase Deputy Commander Cai, but no one caught her. When he arrived, he saw Liu Susu being praised by everyone. The hatred in his eyes was about to turn into a sharp knife, and he wanted to stab Liu Susu directly!

It was too far away, so Liu Susu didn't notice it. Only Han Jin glanced over there, but he only saw a piece of clothing.

——

What Liu Susu said to everyone was not bragging. It had been almost four days since the first installation of the water pipes. Captain Zhang checked and found that the water pipes and water pumps were running normally without any problems, so he wrote an application and submitted it to Mr. Zhong and Political Commissar Zhao applied for a fee to purchase a larger batch of water pipes.

As soon as the military's water pipes are installed and it is confirmed that they are ready, they will solicit their opinions from military families, collect data on whether they need to install them and how much they need, and then go to the city's factory to order.

Although many people already know how good the drip irrigation system is through asking around these days, there are still some people who don't know much about it and feel that no matter how good this method is, it is not as good as doing it yourself.

For this reason, Captain Zhang is planning to take advantage of the opportunity in the past two days to introduce and popularize the benefits of drip irrigation to the military families, so that they know the benefits of drip irrigation.

"Practice brings true knowledge." Captain Zhang knew that many elderly people did not believe how nice your words were, and only believed in what they saw, so he specially asked Xiao Qian to carefully monitor the experimental fields where water pipes have been installed these days. , then everyone will be able to see the real results.

Xiao Qian slapped his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Captain, I'll take care of this matter."

But within two days, when Xiao Qian came to the experimental field, he was dumbfounded.

Why are all the crops that were good yesterday withered? !
