The Pretty Military Wife

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"If I were to say where my life took a turn, it would be when I attempted suicide."

Liang Xinyue hasn't talked about that past with anyone for a long time.

She said softly:

"That day, I couldn't stand the beating from my mother-in-law any more. She even made me kneel in the yard at night. I got up at the crowing of the cock and worked until the evening."

"But not only did he not give me a single bite to eat, he also beat and scolded me."

"They made me kneel down! In the middle of the night, when they were all asleep, I escaped, but I didn't know where I could find a way out. I saw the reservoir when I left the village. The water in the reservoir sparkled in the moonlight. I felt that it was deep and quiet in there, and there must have been no beatings or scolding."

"So I jumped into the reservoir. At one point, I thought I was dead. I felt like the water was over me. I felt like I jumped into a strange place. Before I could see the place clearly, I was rescued."

Speaking of this, Liang Xinyue smiled.

"The person who saved me is my current man, Zhou Guoliang, and the man I have been widowed for for three years."

"That's great. I didn't expect that he is still alive."

"At that time I didn't know he was Zhou Guoliang. I was afraid that someone would see me being rescued by a man, so I ran back. Unexpectedly, haha, he also came to that house. Then I realized that he was the legendary ghost of mine."

Liang Xinyue smiled when she said this.

"He is a responsible man. He knew that I remained a widow for her and that his sister lived well with my brother. He didn't want me to stay there and continue to be abused. So he took me with him to join the army."

"I was really happy when I arrived at the army. My good life started from then on. He originally told me to just stay at home and his allowance was enough to support me."

"But I am a hard-working person, so I just want to grow some vegetables. It is too inconvenient to buy vegetables from the group."

"When I went out to collect firewood, I found that the valley next to it was full of weeds and some trees. A few military wives and I thought of reclaiming it and growing some vegetables."

"But I didn't expect that the crops grown there would be so good. I started thinking about planting more so that the regiment can eat some fresh vegetables. Anyway, we, the wives of soldiers, have nothing to do. If we open up one mu of land a day, we can grow a lot of vegetables."

"So we started to reclaim the land. When we had reclaimed almost two acres of land, Zhou Guoliang stopped us. He said that the valley belonged to the army and we couldn't use it casually."

"But would you rather leave it uncultivated than plant it? As a farmer, I can't bear to see good land go to waste."

"So, during a debate with Zhou Guoliang, the political commissar came over. I insisted on my opinion. I thought I could grow vegetables in that valley. I said proudly that I would grow vegetables to feed the whole regiment."

Liang Xinyue chuckled when she said this, recalling that when she signed the land lease contract with their group, they didn't believe that they could grow crops.

Now, the crops grown in the valley are more than enough for their group to eat once or twice. If they didn't restrict themselves from eating them, they would definitely be able to supply them for a long time. At worst, they can just not sell them.

Liang Xinyue didn't know that when she said this, the confidence on her face was eye-catching.

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"At first we just used seeds from our hometown and asked my brother to send them to me. I heard that because of this, my husband's family went to make trouble at my parents' house again."

"But those seeds really worked well. They grew better and better as they were planted batch after batch. I think that valley is really the best place to grow vegetables."

"I farm during the day and think about it at night. Why can we grow such good vegetables in the northwest with seeds from the south? Why are the vegetables grown in the land behind our house, except in the valley, so thin?"

"I didn't have any children at that time, so I wrote down these questions carefully when I had nothing to do. These notes are still in my room. If you don't believe me, you can go check them out again."

It is true that Liang Xinyue was afraid that she would forget some memories of her previous life, so she took some notes while planting.

Liang Xinyue said this, but unexpectedly Mr. Peng nodded and said:

"We've seen it all."

Liang Xinyue was shocked. When had these people ever checked her home? There were people at home every day. How did they find out?

Mr. Peng nodded and said:

"I also looked up what you said, but I still felt more deeply when I heard you say it in person. So how did you come up with the idea of ​​growing in greenhouses and keeping those planting records? As far as we know, your knowledge is not very high, and you are still working hard to learn."

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"At first, I didn't think of greenhouse cultivation. When we grow garlic in winter in my hometown, there is a way to plant it. After planting the garlic, we will cover the entire ground with some straw. The adults told us that this is to prevent the garlic from being hit by frost."

"To put it another way, it means to keep warm."

"After I arrived at the army, when I started growing vegetables in the backyard, I also used some weeds to keep the seedlings warm. I didn't expect the effect was so good. But they were still crushed by the snow."

"So, I thought, didn't rich families in ancient times have greenhouses for growing flowers? How can I build a greenhouse for vegetables? With this thought, I started to do this. At the beginning, there was no suitable plastic, so I cut open the plastic bags I bought for storing things and tried it out."

"Uncle Peng, wisdom in labor really comes from labor. When you want to solve a problem, you will think of a way. I was just a little more diligent and thought of a way to keep the winter of the soil warm like autumn or spring. This temperature is suitable for growing vegetables."

"I didn't expect it to be successful and attract colleagues from the provincial research institute. So I wanted to make it more professional. I started to keep records."

Mr. Peng smiled slightly. His argument was well-reasoned and could not be refuted.

"Then where did you learn the management method you recommended to the leaders?"

Liang Xinyue thought for a moment and said:

"People who have been poor want to help more poor people get out of poverty. The leaders' approach can only solve the problem of the main channel, but it may not necessarily make the people rich."

"It was my idea. It was indeed my idea. I just wanted to make sure that nothing could be taken for free. We couldn't take other people's stones for free. It's laborious to break stones. If we break stones, the village will lose half of the mountain's stones. That's someone else's mountain. We live by the mountain and we live by the water. We have to let others have a share."

"If we use money to exchange for stones and cement, the people will really have nothing to eat."
