The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 126 You are the only cultured person here

Although she couldn't eat it, Liang Xinyue still felt a little regretful. She was a foodie in her previous life, and in this era, supplies were scarce, and many things she wanted to eat were not available.

I had that soup last time, it was very delicious.

Forget it, for the sake of the children, it doesn’t matter if they eat less this time. Look at the surrounding mountains, there should be no shortage of this delicacy in these mountains.

Liang Xinyue happily stewed the dragon and phoenix soup again and even killed a chicken from home to eat.

She didn't leave any chicken leg for herself to cook separately, but stewed it all into the dragon and phoenix soup.

But when she asked Fu Chunhua and her family to come over for dinner, everyone refused. In the end, only Lao Xiao and his son, Gu Sanding, and Zou Wenqing came, and Lao Xu came.

When the dishes were served, Liang Xinyue sighed and said:

"If I had known, I would have gone to the city with the car to get some food this morning. This is too little. I called them but they didn't come."

Old Xiao said:

"Sister-in-law, you may be overthinking it. Some families are particular about food, and some people don't eat this."

Liang Xinyue was stunned for a moment. It was true. Maybe some people don't eat it.

She looked at Zou Wenqing, who replied immediately:

"I'm actually very brave. I dare to eat it."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"That's good. It tastes delicious. Come and eat it."

The two children were still young and had no idea what fear was. They ate with great relish. However, Liang Xinyue kept a close eye on them and did not allow the little one to drink too much soup.

"I'll leave you another bowl. You can heat it up and drink it at noon tomorrow, but you can't drink too much tonight."

The waiter naturally agreed, and after the meal, Zou Wenqing fell in love with Liang Xinyue even more.

This sister-in-law is a mystery. Although she comes from the countryside, Zou Wenqing feels that she is more particular about some details of life than people like him who grew up in the city.

Although she is an educated person, it is said that she has not read much. Although she does not speak in a scholarly manner, her speech and behavior reveal a sense of elegance. She can also get along well with Sister Yang, who is obviously a real farm woman.

When Zou Wenqing asked Gu Sanding again in the evening, Gu Sanding thought for a moment and said:

"I heard that when she was in her hometown, she got along well with some educated youth from Beijing. They taught her a lot of things."

Zou Wenqing herself grew up in the city and was well-educated, so she somewhat believed this reason, but thought it was a bit far-fetched.

"Sister Xinyue is a really nice person. If you have any questions here, just ask her."

Before Gu Sanding went on vacation, his only comment on Xinyue was that her food was delicious, which was, in short, better than that of the chef in the regiment's canteen.

But now it is different. Last night, he, Lao Zhou and Lao Xu once again discussed the planting issues in the valley in preparation for the inspection by their superiors.

It was then that he saw the valley planting plan made by Liang Xinyue.

I have to say, he was shocked. It was not an ordinary housewife who could come up with such a detailed plan.

Maybe some peasant women can think of how to plant a certain piece of land based on their experience, but no peasant woman will consider the changes in climate and seasons, or make long-term plans.

The three of them became more and more excited as they talked. Farming is not just a simple matter.

For them, there is also the problem of Lao Xiao.

Every day that followed, Liang Xinyue and her colleagues continued to reclaim the land, and Zou Wenqing also learned to follow them and do the work.

Spring is here, the branches are turning green, and the scenery in the valley is also different.

In particular, wild vegetables in the ditches in the valley are growing wildly now. Zou Wenqing's favorite thing every day is to take the children to pick wild vegetables.

One day they picked two large baskets of wild vegetables. Several families ate them for several days in a row, so they gave the two large baskets of wild vegetables to Xiao Wei and asked him to deliver them to the canteen of the regiment.

Unexpectedly, Political Commissar Xu asked the canteen to convert these wild vegetables into money, and actually gave the money to Liang Xinyue:

"You should accept this money, because this valley still belongs to you. We'll see how your superiors handle it later."

Liang Xinyue also knew that this was Political Commissar Xu's way of encouraging everyone's enthusiasm. Although the money was not much, only a dozen yuan, it was really good in that era.

Liang Xinyue told everyone about this while working in the afternoon:

"The money is in my hands now. I don't plan to share it with others. We will keep it for now. This is the first income for our valley. If the group takes back the money we planted later, it will be counted as money for us."

"I'll distribute it then. If the group doesn't take it back, we'll use the money to buy some equipment. At least a few of us are still a little short of physical strength. I was thinking that we should also have a cow. What do you think?"

That's true. They plan to grow vegetables and corn on the hillside, but the large flat land at the bottom of the valley can really be used to grow rice, and that definitely requires cows.

In front of everyone, Liang Xinyue handed a notebook with homework to Zou Wenqing and said:

"Wenqing, you are well educated, so come and help us keep the accounts. This is our first income. In the future, if we have any expenses here, we will pay them here. According to the management method of our production team, the money and the accounts are not kept together, so I will give the money to Sister Fu to keep. You can manage the accounts, okay?"

Fu Chunhua said hurriedly:

"No, no, no, you can keep the money yourself."

Liang Xinyue held out her barely noticeable belly and said:

"Look, if we need to go to the city to buy something in the future, you guys will have to go. It's not convenient for me and Sister Huang. Sister Tian's little Ju'er is also small and needs to be taken care of. Sister Yang will run back and forth, so this matter has to be left to you."

Yang Dapan raised his hand and said:

"I agree with this matter. Even if you give it to me, I can't do it. I'm a careless person. If you ask me to climb a tree or cut a branch, I'm fine with that. But if you ask me to manage the money, tsk tsk tsk, I don't manage money in our family."

Tian Mingfang also agreed and said:

"I agree. I am younger than the other two. Even if I work here every day, I still do less work than you. It's just those two who are always here and there. Sister Fu can take care of them."

Huang Ying patted her bulging belly:

"Hahaha, I don't need to give you the reason, it's right here. Anyway, I agree with it with both hands."

No one had any objection, but Zou Wenqing felt that he had been entrusted with an important task just after he arrived.

Liang Xinyue said:

"You have no reason to turn this down. You are the only cultured person here."

Everyone agreed, and Zou Wenqing took it seriously:

"Okay, I'll definitely get this done."

Liang Xinyue added:

"Actually, there's something I want to talk to you about. I wonder if you'd like to talk to me about this?"
