The Pretty Military Wife

With some preparations, the meeting started as planned. At half past eight, Captain Liu yelled again:

"Don't talk anymore. We are about to have a meeting. Listen quietly. The leader will explain the policy to us. Everyone should listen carefully and learn well."

"Director Ren, you take charge. I can't do it. I'll go and watch the people below. I'll take note of the names of those who speak, and then I'll give them their money in the end."

When Captain Liu said this, the leaders sitting on the stage all laughed, and the people below really became quiet.

Director Ren stood up, walked to the microphone, spoke a few words briefly, and then asked the county leaders to speak a few words each.

Then when Liang Xinyue was asked to speak, the people's eyes fell on Liang Xinyue.

The money was finally being distributed, and everyone's breathing became heavier.

But Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"I won't talk about it first. Let's invite Comrade Guan Liangzhou from our province to tell us how to learn from the poor and lower-middle peasants and how to get close to their homes. Everyone is welcome!"

Guan Liangzhou, who had been hiding in the corner, suddenly turned red.

His image of learning from the poor and lower-middle peasants was praised by Liang Xinyue and others yesterday.

However, he has not had any meal since yesterday.

Because the Liu family had no dinner.

The Liu family eats two meals a day, breakfast and lunch.

We eat these two meals because we have to work in the morning and afternoon.

I don't eat at night because Grandpa Liu said that we don't have to work at night, so we should sleep well and dream about anything. There is no need to eat to press down the bed.

Therefore, no matter adults or children, they do not eat after noon.

But Guan Liangzhou is not used to it.

He was hungry, so he went out for a walk and wanted to go back to the original yard to eat, but Ding Shiqing and the others were washing the dishes.

He also said that now his rations have been transferred and he can’t eat here because everyone eats their own rations and there really isn’t much for him to eat.

So, he went to check on Liang Jun, but he didn't expect that Liang Jun and his men had eaten in the valley last night and came back very late at night, so they didn't cook at all.

He would never ask for food from other families, as that would be too embarrassing.

Moreover, when he returned to Liu's house after a round, he found that the house was dark. Fortunately, Liu Laoer was still in the yard. When he saw him coming back, he said unhappily:

"You still have the energy to walk around. If you have nothing to do, move less or you'll get hungry quickly."

I wasn't that hungry originally, but now I feel even hungrier.

Liu Laoer didn't say much and walked straight into the house.

Guan Liangzhou had no choice but to ask:

"You don't have any lights on in your house?"

"Why light a lamp when you don't do anything at night? It wastes kerosene."

Guan Liangzhou couldn't accept this kind of life as he used electric lights in the provincial capital.

Even when we came here and lived in the yard over there, we still used two kerosene lamps, which were originally given to each person.

Because the girls who came with me lived with Ding Shiqing, they used one lamp. I had kerosene coupons, so I lit an extra lamp. This way, my room would be the brightest for reading at night.

Now he has to live in darkness.

He followed Liu Laoer into the house, and as soon as he reached under the eaves, he was hit on the head and forgot to bend down.

When he entered the room, he was bumped by the door frame again. Although it was dark, he could see the contempt in Liu Laoer's eyes with the faint moonlight.

He gritted his teeth. It was getting dark, and if he didn't live here, he really would have nowhere else to stay. He would just endure it today and find the team leader tomorrow. He would still have to move back to the room he had lived in before.

He lowered his head in grievance and followed Liu Laoer into the room. After Liu Laoer entered the room, he lit an oil lamp, but turned it to the dimmest level.

Liu Laoer had heard during the day why this man came to live in his house, so he didn't want to treat him well.

Now, in the eyes of the people in Xinshui Village, Liang Xinyue is someone who cannot be offended.

Therefore, he knew that this person was against Liang Xinyue and naturally did not want to treat him well.

Liu Laoer put the quilts from Liangzhou to the other side:

"You sleep over there."

Guan Liangzhou really wanted to sleep on this side because there was a cabinet with a kerosene lamp on it.

But Liu Laoer sat on the edge of the bed, took off his straw sandals, rubbed his feet together, as if to rub off the mud and dust on the soles of his feet, and then went to bed.

This made Guan Liangzhou's eyes widen.

He was wearing rubber shoes and socks. Although it was summer, he still wore cotton socks.

In fact, he didn't know that when Liu Laoer was rubbing his feet, he also saw his shoes and felt a little envious, but he was thinking in his heart, my mother said that when I get the money from the meeting tomorrow, I will buy him a pair of shoes, so he will have shoes tomorrow.

However, when Liu Laoer saw Guan Liangzhou took off his shoes and was still wearing socks, he was obviously startled. Then he pretended not to see it, but retracted his feet and let Guan Liangzhou crawl in.

Fortunately, the mat of their bed was in good condition, and the straw underneath had not grown out. It was normal to sleep on a cool mat in summer.

But he didn't know that they also slept on mats like this in winter.

After lying down, Guan Liangzhou was so hungry that he could not sleep. His stomach was rumbling. Guan Liangzhou asked:

"Aren't you guys eating tonight?"

Seeing that he was lying down, Liu Laoer turned around and turned off the kerosene lamp.

But he still replied:

"Well, I haven't had dinner since I was a child."

But Liu Lao Er seemed to feel that he was being looked down upon by saying this, so he added:

"Most families in our village don't eat dinner."

Guan Liangzhou was stunned for a moment:

"Or do some people eat it?"

"Well, a few. Most of us don't have enough food to eat. We can't grow any food on this land. Fortunately, Comrade Liang came and taught us to grow vegetables. We can sell the vegetables and exchange them for food."

Guan Liangzhou received a realistic education.

He didn't say anything else. After working all day, Liu Laoer fell asleep soon after lying down, but Guan Liangzhou couldn't sleep.

There was no way to sleep with Liu Laoer's stinky sweaty feet next to my head. The most terrifying thing was that after they stopped talking, they began to hear rustling sounds.

It would be nice if they were all on the wooden building above my head. I feel like there are also things crawling around behind the mosquito net next to me.

Guan Liangzhou didn't dare to say that he was afraid of mice. He just shrank back and leaned towards Liu Laoer.

But in the middle of the night, Guan Liangzhou couldn't resist the sleepiness. He turned over in a daze, put his hand over and pressed down a mouse that passed by behind the mosquito net.

Guan Liangzhou was so frightened that he screamed and pushed Liu Laoer off the bed, and he himself fell off the bed as well.

Because there was an empty clay jar next to the head of the bed, and he bumped and pulled it in his panic, causing the jar to fall over and roll, hitting the foundation stone on the other side and breaking.
