50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 133 Naming
Saltpeter can be reused for making ice. First, fill a large vat with water, then use a basin to collect half a basin of water and float it on the water in the large vat.

Then pour saltpeter into the large vat. When the saltpeter melts, it will take away a lot of heat, which will cause the water in the small basin to freeze.

When the saltpeter solution in the large vat is saturated and no more saltpeter can be dissolved, put the saltpeter solution in the sun to dry, and you will get saltpeter again.

If it is reused in this way, even if there is loss, it will not be very large. If used every day, ten kilograms of saltpeter will not be used up in a month.

The small basin of ice was immediately sent to the bedroom, and Tong Jiajia was surprised when she saw it.

It seems that the temperature in the room is not low, and Tong Jiajia is not feeling well inside.

He couldn't interfere in this matter. The girl's mother was there and would not harm her daughter. He could only find some books and bring them into the house so that Tong Jiajia could read to distract herself.

Isn’t there a saying that goes “If you calm down, you will feel cooler”? Why not give it a try?

In mid-September, Sun Ailai wrote to me.

The postman at the door knew that the corridor between their houses was very long, so he didn't call anyone. Instead, he rang the doorbell and stuffed the letter through the crack in the door.

When the mother-in-law came to open the door, she saw the letter stuffed into the door on the ground. She found out that it was written to Tong Jiajia. She was also puzzled and wondered why this girl didn't write to Sun Zhiwei.

When Sun Zhiwei heard the news when he came back that night, he smiled and said, "The day this girl left, she insisted that I bullied her and she was going to write a letter back to complain to you."

"Jia Jia, did Nan Nan complain to you?"

"Haha, how did you know? I just complained about you calling her 'Sun Aihei' at the train station."

"Hahahaha, she was about to cry when I saw her, so I quickly changed the subject."

"How is she now?"

"The letter said the environment there was nice, and that the local products were abundant, with people saying things like 'you can hit roe deer with a stick, scoop fish with a ladle, and pheasants fly into the rice pot.' It also said she was a team leader, in charge of more than 30 people."

"This girl must have suffered a lot, but she doesn't dare to speak out."

"Hey, why are you so sure?"

"The line in her letter, 'Hit the roe deer with a stick, scoop the fish with a ladle, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot,' describes the situation in the early days of Northeast China, when it was still undeveloped."

"There are more than 1800 million people in Northeast China now, and even the loaches near the cities have been eaten up. Only roe deer and other animals are found in the wild."

"They went to the Beidahuang Farm, which has been developed for several years. There might be wild game further away, but not too much."

When his godmother heard what he said, she became a little worried: "This child has never suffered hardship since childhood. How will he survive now?"

"Godmother, don't worry. There are thousands of people on that farm. They've already built dormitories and a cafeteria. Maybe they even have a movie theater."

"It's just that the work might be harder, and the food isn't as good as at home, but otherwise it's not much worse than in the city."

Sun Zhiwei's words were comforting. The farm was certainly not as good as home, but it was definitely much better than the conditions in the countryside.

Although it was just his guess, it was pretty close.

After Sun Ailai arrived at the farm, he listened to his words and immediately found the factory director to report and register the guns and his mother's martyr certificate.

The old farm manager is also an old revolutionary. When he saw the martyr's certificate, he knew that she was of good family background. What else could he say? He really took good care of her.

Not only did they not take away her gun, but they also gave her a gun belt and a gun case.

The next day, she was directly appointed as the team leader of more than 30 new educated youth. Now this girl can legally carry a gun.

However, precisely because she was the team leader, in order not to fall behind others in her work, she had to work hard at the front.

Fortunately, we gave her all the nutritional pills prepared at home. She took a few of them regularly, which gave her enough nutrition, and that’s how she was able to persevere.

Now half a month has passed, and Sun Aila has basically adapted to the pace of life there, so he picked up his pen to write a letter home.

"You know girls are petty, it's been half a month and I still haven't forgotten to complain to you."

Tong Jiajia rolled her eyes through the door: "Who are you calling petty?"

"Well, you guys are a group that I can't afford to offend."

The two chatted and laughed for a while across the door before Tong Jiajia said, "What did you think of the child's name? It's been half a month and you still haven't picked one." "I can't just keep calling him Dabao and Xiaobao."

"Oh, I came up with so many names, but you rejected them all, didn't you?"

"What kind of crappy names are those you come up with? I'm definitely going to reject them."

"Why is it broken? The names I gave all have meanings."

"So what do you think 'Sun Xiaoshan' means? And what about 'Sun Xiaosheng'?"

"Well, I have high hopes for my child, so what's wrong with relying on celebrities?"

"Besides, even if you don't like three-character names, why can't the two-character names like 'Sun Quan', 'Sun Bin', 'Sun Shu', and 'Sun Zi' be used?"

"Bang!" The door was slammed loudly from the inside, which scared Sun Zhiwei.

"Sun! Zhi! Wei!" Tong Jiajia shouted gritting her teeth in the room.

"Listen up, you have three days to come up with 20 more plausible names. And remember, no names related to celebrities."

"You are making this too difficult."

"Can't you get up?"

"rise!"

Comrade Sun Zhiwei, who only took three seconds to admit defeat, quickly went back to his study to come up with a name.

Hearing the noise, the mother-in-law ran in to see what was going on, then she smiled and went out again holding Xiaobao.

A few small quarrels between a couple are also the fun of life. The mother-in-law only sees that the two have a good relationship.

This is how husband and wife are. It is not necessary for them to treat each other with respect all the time. Occasionally having some trouble is also a spice of family coexistence.

Of course, if the personalities complement each other, the couple can generally be more loving and long-lasting.

In the study, the miserable Sun Zhiwei was biting the tip of his pen while thinking of a name. After a while, he wrote one, waited for a while, and then crossed it out again.

While thinking of a name, he was also thinking that Jia Jia had been a little irritable during this month of confinement, especially recently, and it seemed that she spoke in a much tougher tone.

But he didn't think that the girl had become a mother, and had a son and a daughter as her first child, so how could she not speak so confidently?

This is because there is no mother-in-law in the family. Otherwise, the daughter-in-law who gives birth to a son can order the mother-in-law around and the mother-in-law will not get angry.

Three days passed in a flash. Sun Zhiwei took a small notebook and a small stool and sat in front of the bedroom door to prepare to hand in the task.

"Wife, 30 names have been chosen, come and pick one."

"Are you really ready?"

"Of course I am a college student. It's not difficult to come up with a name."

"Then you read it."

"Sun Shengying,"

"stop."

“I only read one.”

"Do you think I haven't read Journey to the West?"

“But this doesn’t make you a celebrity.”

"Why isn't the Holy Infant King a celebrity? Anyway, no mention of names from Journey to the West is allowed."

Sun Zhiwei took a deep breath and began to make corrections on the notebook. Soon he had crossed out seven or eight names.
