Armor: I can only summon the general

Just when Meizhen was filled with a sense of powerlessness and gradually became desperate, Hua He appeared, like a ray of sunshine shining in Meizhen's heart, making her feel extremely warm.

When Hua He held Meizhen's hand to warm her, the true expression of his feelings touched Meizhen's heartstrings, making her unable to bear it any longer and telling Hua He all the unresolved problems.

Hua He also took over everything for her without hesitation, which made her feel extremely comfortable, and also made her determined to hold Hua He firmly.

Meizhen believes that as long as she can keep Hua He, the active people in the team will not dare to act rashly. If she holds Hua He, she will hold back Qiao Shefei, and she will add two super powerful people to the team. combat effectiveness.

As long as she and Hua He stay together, all the problems of the team will be solved. Therefore, Meizhen's love is not only her personal matter, but also a business matter to maintain the harmony of the team and help the team develop and grow.

After nightfall, Hua He reluctantly said goodbye to Meizhen, rode all the way home, took a shower and went to bed.

On the other side of the six-door bookstore, Qiao Shefei lay on the bed unable to fall asleep. Tossing and turning, he got up and got out of bed, opened the door and walked out.

Lao Ma was sitting alone on the long table writing a letter. When he saw Qiao Shefei coming out, he put down his pen.

"Old Ma, who are you writing to?"

Qiao Shefei asked.

"This is written for my wife and daughter. I haven't been home for a long time and I miss them."

Lao Ma stroked the letter paper with his hand. It was very precious.

Qiao Shefei turned around and walked to the stove to pour a glass of water. He walked back with the cup and sat across from Lao Ma.

"If not, why don't you just call home? Why do you have to write a letter?"

Lao Ma smiled and shook his head, holding the letter and showing it to Qiao Shefei.

Qiao Shefei took the letter and took a look at it. He was immediately attracted by the content of the letter. From the first glance to ten lines, he read it word for word.

Six or seven minutes later, Qiao Shefei finally finished reading the half-page letter to his family. Every line was full of thoughts about his family and his longing for a better life.

"Tsk, I didn't expect you to have such a good literary talent. I admire you."

Qiao Shefei praised him repeatedly in surprise, feeling that the letter paper in his hand had become extremely precious. This short half page of paper made Qiao Shefei amazed, and he had a new understanding of Lao Ma in his heart.

After reading the letter written by Lao Ma to his family again, Qiao Shefei handed it to Lao Ma carefully.

Lao Ma took it over casually.

"Actually, it's not that you can't make phone calls. Now every household in our village has a landline. You can make calls anytime you want. But, my wife is a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person. She will cry when she hears the call. I also feel the same in my heart. I feel so bad that I want to go back along the phone line and stay with her without leaving, but this is definitely not possible. I have no choice but to think about it and write a letter."

With a helpless smile on his face, Lao Ma explained to Qiao Shefei why he didn't call home.

Lao Ma is a very reserved person. He is not willing to take the initiative to express his emotions, and he cannot listen to the cries of his wife and children. Except for very urgent matters, he is unwilling to call home at other times.

Also, Lao Ma is not used to talking on the mobile phone. If he were asked to read his letter to his wife on the mobile phone, he might not even be able to understand what he said.

Therefore, writing letters is Lao Ma's preferred method of contact. Although it is not as convenient as making a phone call, it can still express Lao Ma's longing for his wife and daughter. Emotional words can express affection better than straightforward conversations.

When the letter was sent home, his thoughts also followed him home.

Looking at Lao Ma's appearance, Qiao Shefei was thinking about another question. He looked at Lao Ma with curious eyes, which made Lao Ma feel strange.

"Xiao Qiao, what's the matter with you? Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden."

"Lao Ma, you are so attached to your wife and daughter at home, why do you still go out to work? Wouldn't it be better to stay at home and live with your wife and daughter every day?"

Qiao Shefei asked curiously.

Although it was a little strange why Qiao Shefei asked, Lao Ma still gave his explanation.

"Xiao Qiao, do you know how much land can produce every year?"

Qiao Shefei tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head. He had never completely planted the land until now, so naturally he had no idea about the yield of the land.

Lao Ma looked as expected and continued to say with a smile: "Each family's situation is different. I can only tell you about my family's situation. My family only has a few acres of farmland, and it can only be enough to grow food for two years." Food rations and growing cash crops may not be much better. It’s enough to eat and clothe you in one year. Even buying new household items has to be carefully considered.”

Qiao Shefei heard this in disbelief. He had heard someone say that it was difficult to support a family with three-thirds of the thin land, but he did not expect that the output of the land was so low.

"So, almost all the strong laborers in our village go to the city to work, and the family fields are left to the wives and parents to cultivate, so that they can support the whole family. The men earn money by working outside, and they go back to celebrate the Chinese New Year for two days before. We will continue to go to the city after the New Year, this is how our people live there.”

Lao Ma continued.

"I would also like to go home and live with my wife and children, but it costs money for food and clothing for a year, it costs money for children to go to school, it costs money for parents to see a doctor, and money is needed everywhere. How can I live if I can't earn money?"

"Yeah, life without money is not that easy."

Qiao Shefei nodded slowly. He agreed with Lao Ma's words. In Ares, a planet with highly developed technology, money has lost its original role. Their unique economic system cannot be imitated by people on earth. People have long He no longer had the concept of money, but his one thousand years on earth made Qiao Shefei realize the importance of money again.

At first, Qiao Shefei couldn't figure out the value of those metal pieces and pieces of paper that the people on earth regarded as treasures, and why they could be easily exchanged for things obtained through hard work.

Later he realized that backward productivity made everything precious, and people were accustomed to using money to measure the value of items.

Lao Ma carefully answered Qiao Shefei's questions and answered Qiao Shefei's doubts, allowing him to have a better understanding of Lao Ma's background and a deeper understanding of the world.

In Lao Ma's heart, Qiao Shefei is still a city dweller, a child who is angry with his parents. He does not understand life outside the city and thinks that the city he lives in is the whole world.

The facts are similar to what Lao Ma thought. Although Qiao Shefei lived a long time, it did not mean that he lived well. After thousands of years of fighting and killing, he was definitely an expert on how to march and fight, but when it came to living together, then He can't even compare to Atu.

These are all related to Qiao Shefei's background, because he has never experienced the life of the lower class.
