The Pretty Military Wife

Xiao Shun and Min Honglian came back around noon and brought work clothes for Zhu Guixiang and Long Xiaomei.

There are also some labor protection gloves.

Min Honglian brought the things to Liang Xinyue.

At lunch time, Liang Xinyue ate quickly and went to Zhu Guixiang's house.

After distributing the things they bought to Zhu Guixiang and Long Xiaomei, Liang Xinyue said:

"Little sister, I asked Min Honglian to find the teacher for the book you wanted to read. They will have to go to the city to buy it later. I will bring it back to you when it is available. If you want to read it, you can borrow it from me."

Zhu Guixiang didn't know what kind of books her younger sister wanted to read. When her younger sister's marriage was not settled in her hometown, the neighbors said that her younger sister read too many books and had high standards.

Now after this illness, Zhu Guixiang doesn’t know whether her younger sister should read books again.

Long Dacheng was also a person who did not receive much education. After he joined the army, he had several opportunities to be promoted, but because of his lack of education, he was not promoted earlier.

Later, he was promoted because of his achievements.

Therefore, since he could not finish studying, which was something he had always wanted to do, he hoped that his younger sister would study hard.

Unexpectedly, the school closed down and my younger sister only finished junior high school.

He was aware of the reading craze in the military camp and the military housing estates, but like Xiao Shun, he had a very poor foundation.

He couldn't continue studying, but now he heard that his younger sister still wanted to study, he was the first to support her!

"It's okay if my little sister wants to study. You can study at home for a semester first. If that doesn't work, you can go to a classroom in the county town to study."

"No, I want to read while following Sister Liang's work. Sister Liang and the others read that way, too."

Long Dacheng laughed and said:

"Okay, our political commissar has said that your sister Liang has changed the atmosphere here. If you want to study, study hard. Xiaobing is also going to start studying, so you have to keep an eye on him."

Long Xiaobing was a wild and crazy kid in the countryside. Now that he has a school to study and is regulated, he felt it was new and exciting in the first few days.

After a few more days, I felt that it was not as fun as running around in the valley.

Sometimes he would pester Zhu Guixiang, asking her not to study anymore and to follow her mother and aunt to the valley.

But seeing Dongdong and the others didn't go, they all went to see Teacher Zou every day, and it was not fun for him to be alone.

After being criticized by his father again, he obediently went to Teacher Zou's classroom.

It took another three days to completely clean out the valley bottom, and the entire bottom of the valley looked like fertile land.

Because fallen leaves rot and accumulate here over the years, and there is plenty of water at the bottom of the valley, once the weeds are cleared, this becomes the best fertile land.

Liang Xinyue and the others divided the land into several neat plots, also according to the distances between the greenhouses. They then just had to wait for Xiao Shun to bring in the cows to plow the fields before they could plant rice.

Xiao Shun said he would bring the cow back today, but he waited and waited but the cow never came. It was lunchtime, and Xiao Shun and an old man drove a cow slowly to the gate of the family compound.

When the old man saw the two soldiers on guard, he was so scared that he didn't dare to go in.

If he doesn't go in, the cow won't go in either.

Xiao Shun came in helplessly and said to Liang Xinyue:

"I have no other choice. The cow won't fit on the truck, so we can't pull it over. We can only lead it and drive it in."

Liang Xinyue also laughed. This trip was probably more than twenty miles, and she must have walked slowly while driving the cattle on the road.

Xiao Shun called Min Honglian from the wall:

"Get a basin, prepare the rice and vegetables. There is an old man named Liu at the door. I called him to come in, but he refused to come in. He hasn't eaten yet."

Liang Xinyue said hurriedly:

"Is the food enough? I still have some. Xiao Shun hasn't eaten yet either. I still have some dishes."

Liang Xinyue hurriedly came out of the kitchen to get some food. Xiao Shun didn't hesitate to take it and started eating.

"Sister-in-law, if he won't come in, then we have to hurry and lead him to the field and plow it early."

"That's fine. I'll try to persuade him later. I'm afraid we'll have to stay here tonight."

Xiao Shun nodded and said:

"It's all right. As long as the cows come."

Xiao Shun not only drove the cows back, but also carried the plow in.

Liang Xinyue looked at the thing and felt worried that it must have been difficult for him to come this far.

After dinner, they took Uncle Liu and led the strong cow into the valley.

Uncle Liu kept asking what this was for. When he saw cowpeas and green beans growing in the sheds, he was very surprised:

"How can this... How can this survive? It's so cold, how can these vegetables grow?"

When Xiao Shun found him, the land in their village had not yet been dug. Let it freeze. There are very few fields here, and it will take at least two months before the land can be plowed.

So when Xiao Shun came to him and said he wanted to give him money to plow the fields, he didn't dare to believe it.

Now looking at this valley, it seems to be completely different from the outside. How can it be early spring here? It’s completely summer-growing things.

As Uncle Liu walked down, he said:

"When we were little, we used to come to this valley to play. We hunted rabbits and other animals. Later, the army built a base here, so we didn't dare to come in."

When we got to the bottom of the mountain, Uncle Liu was surprised to see such a wide and flat land:

"I didn't think this place was flat when I was a kid. Did you make it flat?"

Xiao Shun smiled and said:

"No, we just cleared the weeds here. You see the grass stumps are still there, waiting for you to plow it. Deepen it."

Uncle Liu is also a farmer. When he saw the land, he said:

"It's a plow, but there are too many tree roots and grass roots in here. If you want to plant, you'd better clean them up, otherwise the plowed grass will sprout."

Liang Xinyue and the others rolled up their trouser legs in preparation and responded:

"That's it. So, you plow in the front and we'll clean up in the back. One step at a time."

Uncle Liu led the ox, put the yoke on it, connected the plowshare and adjusted it. Then Uncle Liu stuck his pipe to his waist and pulled out a thin whip from his waist.

Then he swung the whip and hit the cow's butt.

"Shut up!"

Uncle Liu sighed, and the cow seemed to know how to walk. It began to walk straight forward, step by step, in an obviously rhythmic and slow manner.

Uncle Liu grabbed the plowshare and thrust it deep into the ground.

Every two steps he took, his plowshare would tilt slightly, and the mud that had been pried up by the plowshare would be turned over.

Except for the grass roots and tree roots on the surface, the mud underneath is soft, thick and black.

A smell belonging to the mud was turned out.

Liang Xinyue and her colleagues began to clean up the turned-over grass roots, trying to clean them up as thoroughly as possible so as to 'eradicate the problem'.
