His predecessor failed

Chapter 76: Decision to Visit Relatives

After receiving the super big package, He Qiaojin immediately took a bag of hot sauce to Captain Qiao's office. Since Captain Qiao was not there, he left a note and then went to find the logistics director without stopping. He gave the director a few more bottles, and left some for the canteen chef. One of the large jars was specially stated to be used for cooking, and the canteen chef was given the recipe provided by Su Zhuzhu. Everyone who received the hot sauce was very happy. They heard that it was made by Deputy Captain He's girlfriend. Everyone thought that Deputy Captain He was very lucky and his girlfriend was so virtuous. Last time she brought so many cured meats, and this time it was hot sauce again, and the taste was great.

He Qiaojin bluntly said that this was produced by the hot sauce factory built by her boyfriend and the team, and it was sent specially for everyone to try.

Everyone looked at the outer packaging of the hot sauce bottle and jar, and sure enough, there was a big red diamond-shaped trademark with five big characters on it: Red Star Hot Sauce Factory, and a contact address underneath. No one expected that Deputy Captain He's girlfriend was not only skilled in craftsmanship, but also so capable that she could run a factory. This aroused everyone's curiosity, and no one knew when Deputy Captain He's girlfriend would come to visit, so they would have to say hello when the time came.

After delivering the logistics and canteen, He Qiaojin went to Captain Qiao's office again, and this time he ran into him.

Captain Qiao hadn't even warmed up the hot sauce yet, and right after he received He Qiaojin's hot sauce, he received his leave application!

Captain Qiao felt sorry for He Qiaojin because He Qiaojin applied for a marriage leave. He knew how much He Qiaojin wanted to marry his partner soon. It was a pity, but he still put the hot sauce in the drawer for the time being.

"Ahem, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I really want to approve it for you, but it just so happens that, hehe, there will be a new mission the day after tomorrow, and everyone is on standby. You must go this time, so you have to postpone your vacation. Tell your partner that being a military wife is not easy, remember to treat your wife better in the future."

He Qiaojin was so upset that she wanted to cry. How could it be such a coincidence?

I returned to the dormitory and quickly wrote a letter and sent it out, apologizing to Su Zhuzhu that I couldn't go to H Province this time. I could only apply for leave after I finished the mission.

After sending the letter, he went to the family compound that he had applied for and looked around. Looking at the house that he had arranged bit by bit, he was looking forward to Su Zhuzhu moving in. Unfortunately, he had to wait a little longer. However, it was the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and He Qiaojia had no complaints in his heart. He had chosen this path and was destined to have these extraordinary experiences.

Su Zhuzhu was studying acupuncture seriously at this time. The medicinal materials processing factory and the hot sauce factory were gradually getting on track. Moreover, as the Red Star Brigade became more and more famous, the medicinal materials processing factory and the hot sauce factory had been expanded and production had been increased. The educated youth had become full-time workers and no longer needed to go to work. Many people in the brigade were also recruited into the factory. Although Su Zhuzhu only asked for 10% of the profits, she had earned a lot of money in such a short time.

The team leader is a man of great cost-skills and ideas. Now the Red Star Brigade is a well-known dual-factory brigade. With the support of the government and the increasing profits of the two factories, after an internal meeting, the medicinal materials processing factory and the hot sauce factory contributed money, and while the team members were not so busy, they organized the team to carefully repair the road to the town and widen it a lot. Most importantly, the road was repaired neatly, the roadbed was compacted, and stones were paved, which made it much more convenient to deliver goods by tractors, and the road was no longer bumpy on rainy days, making other brigades around jealous.

Now, in addition to farming, the team members can also increase their income by growing medicinal herbs and peppers. With high income, they are willing to improve their living standards, so almost every household has electric wires and uses electric lights at night. After dinner, every household lights up the light bulbs, like a bright dragon hovering in the dark night, which is very beautiful! However, the electricity bill is not cheap. The team members only use electricity when they are busy with their children's homework or busy collecting medicinal herbs at night. If they have nothing to do, they turn off the lights early to rest, or light a kerosene lamp for lighting. Even so, they are far ahead of other teams. The girls and boys in the team are the most popular with matchmakers. People from all over the country know that the Red Star Brigade is a good place, and they are scrambling to get married in the Red Star Brigade.

Speaking of children doing homework, Su Zhuzhu let Ping An go to school this spring. Su Zhuzhu paid the tuition directly to the school. She had only one requirement for Ping An, that he must study hard during school and only after completing the homework assigned by the teacher can he go to collect medicinal herbs or catch fish. Now that conditions are better, he should study hard at the age when he should study. Only by studying hard can he have a future.

Ping An didn't understand those things, but he knew one thing, that is, he had to listen to Sister Zhuzhu, He Qiaojin and Lin Wu. He would do whatever they said, and when he could make money in the future, he would pay the money back to Sister Zhuzhu. So Ping An worked hard to absorb knowledge in school, and completed his homework at school. After school and on holidays, he would go to collect medicinal herbs, take care of the medicinal fields, and catch some fish and shrimp every few days to send to the educated youth institute.

Su Zhuzhu observed Ping'an for a while and went to talk to the teacher to find out about the situation. Seeing that Ping'an was very self-disciplined and did well in study, she let Ping'an make his own arrangements and told him to come to the Youth League Center to ask if he had any problems in study.

It was not until she received He Qiaojin's letter that she found out that this man had been on a mission again. In total, the two hadn't seen each other for about five months, and they rarely even talked on the phone. Only then did Su Zhuzhu realize that what she had read in books and on TV about how it was not easy to be a military wife was actually true. She thought she could see He Qiaojin this time, but it turned out to be a mistake.

Su Zhuzhu considered whether to wait for He Qiaojin to return from the mission and then go to the army to visit her relatives. Since she had decided to be a military wife, she would take on the responsibilities of a military wife. Soldiers defend their country, and she would solve all their worries. Moreover, the marriage report had already come down. Su Zhuzhu just did not choose to join the army immediately, and voluntarily chose to stay in the Red Star Brigade. She was still free to take a vacation. There was Doctor Peng in the health center, Zheng Qiwen and Liu Yuanyuan in the medicinal material processing factory and the hot sauce factory, and the brigade leader was in charge. Everything was on track, and the days in the Red Star Brigade were booming. The more Su Zhuzhu thought about it, the more she couldn't wait to visit her relatives in the army. These days, transportation was slow, and it was really not easy to fall in love. She couldn't even make many phone calls, which was nothing like the later generations, where video calls were made anytime and anywhere. When she was free, she missed that man very much. She wanted to lean on that man's solid and strong chest and kiss that man's hot lips.

After making the decision, Su Zhuzhu began to prepare for the visit. He Qiaojin said in the letter that the mission would take more than a month, so there was plenty of time. She also wanted to give He Qiaojin a surprise, so she decided to go there a few days in advance.

In order to prepare for this visit, Su Zhuzhu contacted the team leader early and asked for leave, and began to search for all kinds of delicious food. Anyway, she had space at hand, so it didn't matter how much she brought.

She took the leftover sausages, as well as two large pieces of bacon, a cured pig's trotter, half a cured pig's head, and half a cured spare ribs. In order to make it easier to carry, Su Zhuzhu asked Wang Jiaguo to help her chop them up first.

I told Ping An that I wanted a few big fish, so that I could make them into spicy fish fillets that are both easy to preserve and delicious. I also wanted some small fish and shrimps. The crayfish are still a little small, and I don’t know if they can grow up before I leave.

I also asked the hunters in the village to help hunt a lot of pheasants and rabbits. Most of them were put directly into the space since they would not go bad anyway. I also made some spicy diced chicken and spicy rabbit meat to cover up my tracks.

He Qiaojin has already tidied up the house in the family compound. If nothing goes wrong this time, the two of them will get their marriage certificate directly, so Su Zhuzhu plans to stay in the army longer this time.

After all, it was a newlywed affair, so Su Zhuzhu had prepared quite a lot of things. She was now ready to send them over when the time came, in case she had to take them out suddenly and it would be difficult to explain.

Taking advantage of the evening time, Su Zhuzhu went to the space mall and bought bright red four-piece sets, red towels, red slippers, red water cups, red toothbrushes, festive bowls and chopsticks, all in pairs, and red pajamas for both of them, both summer and winter styles. Su Zhuzhu's summer pajamas had a lace suspender inside and a nightgown outside, both couple styles. There were also new quilts, blankets and so on. Thinking that the weather would gradually get warmer, she picked out some beautiful clothes for herself, mostly skirts. He Qiaojin has been in the army all year round and basically wears military uniforms. Although Su Zhuzhu likes to see him in military uniforms the most, she still chose a few casual clothes for the man, removed those that were not in line with this era, and simply packed them, but put them in the space first and send them out before departure. The package was sent to He Qiaojin. Su Zhuzhu thought about it and estimated that only He Qiaojin himself could get it, so there was no need to rush.

Su Zhuzhu was happily preparing for their long-awaited reunion, revealing her little thoughts bit by bit, especially that sexy suspender pajamas. Su Zhuzhu blushed just thinking about how she would look in it on her wedding night.

In addition to these, Su Zhuzhu also picked out a pair of plain wedding rings. The style is classic and durable, but not eye-catching. This is the gift Su Zhuzhu prepared for the couple's wedding.

The more things Su Zhuzhu prepared, the more she began to think like a little girl. Every time she prepared something, she would think about what He Qiaojin would say when he saw it, and whether he would like it. Su Zhuzhu was so shy that she even began to despise herself. It was too embarrassing for a modern person.

Several large packages were prepared one after another. During this period, no letter from He Qiaojin was received, but wedding gifts from Liu Yuanyuan and Duan Xiaoling were received. Liu Yuanyuan gave a four-piece set that she specially asked her family to send from Suzhou City. Duan Xiaoling gave a pair of pillowcases and two cups. The male educated youth pooled their money to give two enamel washbasins with the pattern of Double Happiness, and asked Uncle Li to get two buckets. All of them were pasted with wedding characters. For a moment, Su Zhuzhu's room really felt like a new house.

A month later, Su Zhuzhu had settled everything and was ready to leave for the army. Zheng Qiwen borrowed a bicycle from the captain, and together with Wang Jiaguo, they sent Su Zhuzhu to the town. They first went to the post office to mail four super large packages, and then sent Su Zhuzhu to the car going to the county town.

Originally, Zheng Qiwen wanted to send Su Zhuzhu to the train, but Su Zhuzhu refused. The bus station was near the train station, so there was no need to make an extra trip. The medicinal material processing factory and the chili sauce factory were both busy, and they couldn't be delayed too long.

The two of them could only talk a lot and explain a lot before returning to the Red Star Brigade after seeing off Su Zhuzhu's car.

Although it seemed lonely to embark on the journey alone, Su Zhuzhu's inner expectation and joy still revealed in her eyes. This train trip took a long time, and Su Zhuzhu asked Liu Dahai to buy a sleeper ticket. Fortunately, it was not a holiday, so there were not many people traveling and there were still many empty seats in the carriage. After Su Zhuzhu settled down in her berth, she lay down to rest. The three-day journey was neither long nor short, and there was nothing to kill time along the way. Tired of the scenery outside the window, all that was left was reading and sleeping, so Su Zhuzhu planned to have a good sleep first and start studying when she was full of energy.

After swaying on the train for two days, Su Zhuzhu was walking back and forth in the carriage. Her bones were almost rusted. She was either sitting or lying down, and the space was small. She could only walk back and forth in the corridor during the day. The speed of the train in this era was really too slow.

I was just about to finish my walk and go to the dining car to buy a box lunch, but I didn't expect to hear a faint noisy sound coming from the car behind me, and there were also a few faint exclamations.

Su Zhuzhu had no intention of joining in the fun. Just as she was about to return to her bunk, she heard a voice saying "No gas" coming from the other side.

Without hesitation, he turned around, picked up the acupuncture bag he was carrying with him, and walked quickly towards the carriage where the accident occurred.

I saw two or three flight attendants surrounding a child lying on the ground, about seven or eight years old, a boy. The one crying uncontrollably beside him should be the boy's mother, and the one supporting the boy's mother anxiously must be the boy's father. All three of them were well-dressed. Su Zhuzhu immediately communicated with the parents, and after she revealed her identity as a doctor, the middle-aged couple just kept asking Su Zhuzhu to save their child.

It was a blessing in disguise that they were able to meet a doctor at this time, because the flight attendant had been looking for a doctor for so long but couldn't find one.

After getting the parents' consent, Su Zhuzhu quickly squatted down to check the boy's condition. Based on the parents' description and the results of taking his pulse on the spot, Su Zhuzhu determined that the boy should have asthma. However, she heard from the couple that he had difficulty breathing occasionally before, but it was not so serious and passed quickly, so she had never taken it seriously.

The little boy's breathing was barely audible. Su Zhuzhu asked everyone to disperse, quickly took out the acupuncture bag, and skillfully inserted the needles into several key acupuncture points. She did not stop for a moment after the needles were inserted, and pressed and rubbed several acupuncture points on the little boy. Slowly, the little boy finally recovered his breathing, and his face, which had turned purple from holding the needle, slowly turned pale.

Su Zhuzhu did not remove the silver needle until the little boy's breathing stabilized. She carefully checked the child's condition, asked the boy's father to slowly pick up the child, and the attendant led the way to the sleeper car and found an empty berth for the little boy to lie down.
