Chapter 105 Cooperative
Chapter 105 Cooperative
Several women came from rural areas. For them, since they came here, they stayed in this yard every day. If they walked out of the mountain, they would have to walk dozens of miles to find a house.
There were many people in the military camp, but they were not allowed to enter.
Only when I got here did I realize that they work less but eat enough.
But if I'm idle for too long, I'll feel pain all over my body.
Fortunately, Liang Xinyue is here now.
She is a person with ideas. When she arrived, she was ready to lead everyone to work together.
They may not do anything else, but none of these women would complain about farming.
The new year and the beginning of spring, everyone feels that they have a new goal. Even though Huang Ying is more than five months pregnant, she is still in high spirits now that she has no ice:
"I can still work for two or three months, and then I will have to stay in confinement after giving birth. I will continue to work after that."
Fu Chunhua smiled and said:
"It's just right. When you are out of confinement, it will be almost time for Xinyue sister to go in."
Liang Xinyue smiled and said:
"It's still early for me. I think the temperature in the back mountain will be higher after the sun rises in the next two days. We can go get some firewood then. We can also clean up some land."
"My dear sisters, we are here to spend a long time, so we don't ask for too much work, we just need to do our best. This can also be considered as a way to kill some free time."
With Liang Xinyue taking the lead and Fu Chunhua joining in, everyone now had a backbone.
Liang Xinyue didn't do this casually, she did it with real planning and arrangement.
The next day, Yang Dapan took his two sons, packed their belongings, and Lao Liu and got into the car driven by Political Commissar Xu.
Political Commissar Xu drove them directly to the rented house and personally met with the school principal, and the two children were properly arranged.
Then he brought Lao Liu back, leaving the mother and her two children behind to start a new life.
On the way back, Political Commissar Xu comforted Old Liu:
"I contacted the people in the county yesterday and asked them to help us get a bicycle. Don't worry, the armed forces department must have it. Then you can ride it in and out."
As a political commissar, there are more things to think about:
"But I want to remind you that you have to know the discipline of the army. Once you leave the army, you will come into contact with more people. No matter who approaches you, you have to be careful."
"The commander taught us to be vigilant at all times to prevent ourselves from falling for the enemy's sugar-coated bullets."
"Yes, Political Commissar, I understand. I don't have to run out often. Old Yang said yesterday that I can come back after I have arranged for the two children and let them know where to buy food."
"Old Yang is also going to join the cooperative founded by Comrade Xiao Liang."
"What cooperative?"
Political Commissar Xu asked as he drove. He didn't know about this yet?
Old Liu smiled and said:
"I don't know either. I heard that you knew. Comrade Xiao Liang signed a contract with you to cultivate the land in the back hills. She is the leader and all the women in our compound are following her. They are preparing to open up wasteland and cultivate the land."
Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Xu laughed and said:
"So that's what happened. No problem. Xiao Liang told me that she will be the one supplying our vegetables starting this year. I thought, if she can really grow them, why not? How much food do our troops need to eat every year? We can buy it from outside, or from her. She even gives us a lower price."
Old Liu just smiled and said:
"I think it's good enough for them to grow enough food for the whole compound. They want to supply thousands of people. That's just bragging."
"But, let them do it. They have nothing to do and are bored anyway. Isn't Lin Xiaoju one of them?"
Speaking of Lin Xiaoju, everyone can only sigh.
Lao Xiao’s current situation is everyone’s pain point.
Old Xiao seems to be recovering from his injuries and is in a very comfortable state now. He didn't mention at all how to deal with Lin Xiaoju's matter.
Lao Liu also said:
"To say that Xiao Liang Tongsheng has done a great job in taking good care of the two children this time, I've only seen Yaya a few times. Now she can run around."
"I used to think that the child would be disabled."
Lao Xu also nodded and said:
"What makes Old Xiao happiest now is that his daughter can actually walk and run. And the child doesn't have any problems as Lin Xiaoju said before. I think she is very smart."
"What's wrong with being stupid? Yesterday my two sons came and hid at home and didn't dare to come out. A few children went in and pulled them out. Later I heard from Liu Liang that it was Yaya who had been restraining her brother and told him not to eat anything casually."
Lao Liu lit a cigarette and said slowly:
"So, it's really easy to tell at a glance whether a woman can take care of a child. Lin Xiaoju took care of her child and made him look stupid, but Xiaoliang took care of him and made him smart."
Lao Xu nodded without saying anything.
In fact, he had a feeling that Liang Xinyue was not like an ordinary rural woman.
He had more or less heard from Old Zhou about Liang Xinyue and him. But now it seemed that their family had almost ruined a smart female comrade.
Yang Dapan stayed in the town for two days and then came back.
Normally, the two children live independently in their hometown.
The house they are renting now is owned by a police officer in the town, who lives next door to the house. There is an elderly mother in the family, and she is a very nice old lady.
Knowing that Yang Dapan was a military family, he was very concerned about the three of them. Sometimes he would send pickles, sometimes he would send some fruits. Regardless of whether the fruits he sent were good or not, he was thoughtful.
What’s even more coincidental is that they also have two children, who happen to be in the same class as my two children.
But the younger one in their family is a daughter.
So Yang Dapan briefly said that she wanted to go back to the army to work, and the old lady offered to help her look after the child.
Yang Dapan agreed with her two sons that she would come on Saturday, and after school on Saturday afternoon, the three of them would walk back to the military family compound together.
She arrived at the family compound at around 10 a.m. The entire compound was deserted. Before she could ask, the soldier at the door told her:
"Sister Yang, the other sisters-in-law have gone to the back mountain. They brought their children with them."
Yang Dapan clicked his tongue twice and said with a smile:
"You're starting to work without waiting for me. I'll go back and get a handy tool."
I went home, changed my clothes, put on a pair of old yellow rubber shoes, took an axe and a hoe for chopping wood, and went out, heading straight to the back mountain.
I heard children's laughter from afar. When I got closer, I saw Liang Xinyue and others wielding axes and chopping trees, while several children were pulling weeds at the same time.
"I seem to be back late."
"Haha, it's not too late. You came back just as we started today. You came just in time."
