The Pretty Military Wife

Political Commissar Xu sighed and said:

"Another option is to join a state-owned unit, such as a supply and marketing cooperative or some factories. Lao Xiao is a good soldier, but I really can't think of anything better for him to do."

Everyone bowed their heads. No matter what the job was, they had to do it themselves. What about the two children?

If he changes his job and can no longer live here, Liang Xinyue naturally won't have to help him take care of the children.

The two children are very well-behaved now, especially Yaya, who can move around now. She takes the initiative to help sweep the floor every day, both in the front and back yards.

Xiao Er would also be sensible and help pick up leaves that were blown into the yard. Yaya would also learn to take care of her younger brother. When Liang Xinyue was cooking, she would come to help burn firewood.

Liang Xinyue also deliberately took her to do it. Since they had such a family, they had to become independent and strong.

Although he is only five years old, there are actually many things in life that a five-year-old child can do.

It’s too cold now. Liang Xinyue plans to teach her how to wash clothes when spring comes.

But now, after hearing about Lao Xiao's situation, everyone fell silent.

Looking at the glamorous heroes, only heroes know the hardships behind them.

Liang Xinyue asked in a low voice:

"When will Lao Xiao be able to recover from his injury?"

Political Commissar Xu shook his head and said:

"After the Chinese New Year. This is my plan. Before I return to the team after the Chinese New Year holiday, I will go see him, and then if I can bring him back with me, I will bring him back."

"Lao Xu, let me go. I'll bring him back."

Gu Sanding said.

He can rest for two months starting from the fifth day of the New Year.

Political Commissar Xu glared at him and said:

"You should also hurry up with your work. Don't forget why I asked for two months' leave for you. You haven't been back home for five years. Besides, you must get engaged when you go back this time. It will make our compound more lively."

"You are not young anymore. I have known you three for five or six years. Lao Tong and Lao Xiao are both married, and you are the only one left. If you don't get married, you will become an old man."

"..."

Gu Sanding was suppressed to the point of being speechless.

Liang Xinyue asked again:

"Then Political Commissar Xu, will Lao Xiao's proposal work? Lin Xiaoju won't ask for a share of the children or property, right?"

Valley Sanding interface:

"As for his family, what other property is there to be divided?"

Liang Xinyue said in a deep voice:

"Subsidy. For injuries like Lao Xiao's, the government should provide subsidies."

The three of them looked at each other and realized that it was indeed possible.

Political Commissar Xu said:

"Yes, but it shouldn't be a lot. He can be awarded military merit when he returns."

Liang Xinyue didn’t understand this, but with military merits, she should get more subsidies in the future.

Finally, Political Commissar Xu said:

"I'm leaving now. Everything here is handed over to you. Lao Zhou, if you have any questions, you can always contact my family. Also, Xiao Liang, you will have to work hard for a while. You have taught the two children very well."

After a pause he continued:

"We also held a small meeting about what you said about planting in the back valley, and we agreed in principle. But, I will ask my superiors for instructions after I come back. Before that, you can still open up the wasteland and plant some vegetables."

Liang Xinyue nodded.

On the third day after Political Commissar Xu left, heavy snow fell all day long.

Xiao Wei went out and came back saying that the mountain was closed.

Fortunately, Xiao Wei drove Xu to see him off that day and brought back some meat and potatoes for Liang Xinyue. Add to that the side dishes in the backyard, and there should be no problem this winter.

Zhou Guoliang started to get busy again. Now that Gu Sanding was still here, he and Gu Sanding had to take turns on duty.

So, the next day when he was not at home to sleep, Liang Xinyue moved the quilt and slept on the kang with the children, which was also warm.

Liang Xinyue also followed Fu Chunhua and the others to learn how to pickle the meat that Xiao Wei brought back and put it away as bacon.

Steam a piece every day and sometimes stir-fry it.

One day, Liang Xinyue made steamed pork with rice flour using potatoes and bacon, which made the children in the yard very greedy.

Even Xu Dayong came here to eat.

In fact, there was not much meat, but a lot of potatoes. Liang Xinyue also added some chopped garlic sprouts, which made it taste particularly delicious.

Several children added another bowl each and didn't want any rice, just ate this dish.

After Xiao Wei came out to eat, he insisted on getting some for the canteen chefs to let them know that potatoes taste better when eaten this way.

Knowing that Gu Sanding was on duty, he asked Xiao Wei to prepare a lunch box for Gu Sanding.

I also asked Yaya to give a bowl to each of the two soldiers on duty today. It was a cold day and it was very cold standing there. Eating something hot would warm you up.

Yaya and Dongdong each took one and gave it away.

The two soldiers didn't dare to eat. It was guard time. Zhou Guoliang just came back. They didn't dare to eat.

Zhou Guoliang took a look and ordered:

"I'll give you ten minutes. Finish these and I'll stand for you for ten minutes."

Zhou Guoliang stood on one side, and Dongdong ran to stand on the other side.

The two soldiers quickly took their bowls and went to a sheltered place behind the door to start eating.

While eating, a soldier started crying:

"My mother did the same thing during the Chinese New Year."

This is because I miss my mother.

Zhou Guoliang heard it but didn't say anything. Sometimes, the more you comfort someone, the more you cry.

After Xiaobing finished eating, Zhou Guoliang came back with Yaya and Dongdong. The two children stood for a while, and their little faces were red from the cold.

Chinese New Year was approaching, and Liang Xinyue took her two children to cut some window decorations out of red paper. She also made a few small lanterns and strung them into two strings and hung them outside the door.

The snow scene has a touch of red, making it look more festive.

Dongdong came over to play and saw it, and insisted that Fu Chunhua make it too. In the end, she only made two strings, and that was it.

Xiao Er is now wearing more clothes and looks like a ball. Liang Xinyue took Yaya to clean up their home.

Of course, Fu Chunhua was there too. Some of the clothes that were thrown away casually should be washed and some should be thrown away.

Some clothes are so dirty that they can't be washed. They're too dirty to even be used as mops.

However, I did find a cotton coat for the waiter, so he no longer has to worry about not having a change of clothes in winter.

Fu Chunhua once said that most children only have one cotton-padded jacket for the whole winter. One is enough, but after wearing it for a whole winter, the jacket will really become a layer of leather.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Guoliang came back and said that the regiment's logistics department would slaughter a few pigs from the pig farm to serve as a snack for everyone during the New Year. He asked Liang Xinyue if she wanted to eat any kind of meat.

Liang Xinyue's eyes lit up:

"Don't tell me, I really want to eat something recently."

"What? I'll get it for you if I can."

"Fat intestines. They're pig intestines."

Liang Xinyue felt like her mouth was watering when she thought of braised pork intestines.

"Look at you, you just want to eat an intestine, doesn't that stink? Just think about it, and you're drooling."

Zhou Guoliang helped Liang Xinyue wipe her saliva while smiling, and Liang Xinyue was instantly stunned!
