"Sister-in-law, do you want to use the hoe?" Lu Yuzhu put down the hoe and wiped the sweat off her face with a towel.

"You use it, I have planted everything I need to plant. Now I just need to weed and water it in the morning and evening.

"Big sister, I really can't believe that you, a city dweller, can do the work just as well as us." Xu Guihua admired her from the bottom of her heart.

Lu Yuzhu, "I used to live in the city, but I went to the countryside as an educated youth. Naturally, I have to do everything. Otherwise, I won't be able to earn work points and will be a drag on us educated youth!"

Seeing Jiang Xiaolong following Xu Guihua, Lu Yuzhu went to wash her hands and took out a leftover fried dough stick.

"Thank you, Auntie!" The child had already become familiar with Lu Yuzhu yesterday.

They eat three meals a day at home and never go to the canteen, so this fried dough stick is also new to them.

Xu Guihua took a look and smiled, "Then you've found our Deputy Headman Zhou, which is quite a privilege."

Yuzhu picked up the hoe again and said, "Yes, it's hard for me to find a partner after I went to the countryside. My mother-in-law likes me, and Brother Jianguo also likes me, so I followed him to join the army."

Xu Guihua slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, you and I are just like each other, we were both favored by my mother-in-law! Hahaha!"

Lu Yuzhu was as surprised as if she had eaten a fly. How can your mother-in-law be compared with my mother-in-law?

Jianguo’s mother is sincere!

Xu Guihua's eyes were full of smugness, "You are really smart. I understand you educated youth. If you date someone from the city, people will look down on you.

If we were to date someone from the countryside, you guys, with your high education, would look down on us country folk.”

Lu Yuzhu stopped talking, dug hard with her hands and stepped hard with her feet.

I wanted to chat with you, but you killed the conversation.

It was not easy for educated youth to find a partner, and marrying Brother Jianguo was considered as being with an officer.

But why don't you look in the mirror?

How glorious is it for you to get married?

At least it's a mutual agreement between us, unlike you who came all the way here to force it on someone else.

Seeing that Lu Yuzhu was busy for a while and took a break, Xu Guihua immediately stepped forward to drag her.

"Come on, I've harvested two sunflowers. I'll pick out some seeds for you. There's still time to plant them."

Sunflower seeds?

Yuzhu was not prepared and followed him to the back room.

Xu Guihua had already fried a plate of ripe sunflower seeds.

He took out the seeds he had saved and said, "Pick out about ten of them. These are for seeds."

But I can tell you that not every one of them can grow to maturity.

Last year I also planted about 10 seeds, but only harvested two or three because the land here is not fertile.

But with such a big plate, it’s enough to eat everything.

"Thank you!" Yuzhu really picked out more than a dozen.

Xiang Xiang took out a handful of cooked peanuts from his trouser pocket and put them on the table.

"Sister-in-law, I haven't grown this before. Can I have a dozen more?"

Xu Guihua grabbed a handful and placed it in Lu Yuzhu's hand. "Take it. Why are you being so polite to your sister-in-law?"

This young wife is generous and quite likable.

Apart from going back to their hometown, they can bring more things to the army, and it is also inconvenient to change vehicles on the road.

Once you get here, there is basically no chance to go out.

The journey is too long.

Her husband is a battalion commander, a position of neither high nor low, and he feels embarrassed to use the jeep to buy things.

After returning home, Lu Yuzhu put the sunflower seeds directly into the space and started to cook lunch.

Scrambled eggs with green peppers, stewed pork slices with cabbage, a cold cucumber, and radish soup.

As soon as the couple sat down to eat, Xu Guixiang came over with her little son, carrying bowls of rice.

When he saw the food on the table, he swallowed his saliva and looked shocked.

"Deputy Captain Zhou, your wife doesn't know how to manage her life. If she eats like this, won't your allowance and salary be completely gone by the end of the month?"

Zhou Jianguo held the rice bowl and said, "As long as Yuzhu is happy, she can spend it however she wants!"

Lu Yuzhu pulled Xiaolong over and put a piece of braised pork with cabbage into his bowl.

He put another piece of scrambled egg into Xu Guihua's bowl, hoping to shut her up.

There is no other choice but to borrow farm tools from others.

She is used to having a foul mouth.

It's not directed at me alone.

After dinner, the two rested for a while, and Zhou Jianguo picked up a hoe and dug a lot of holes outside the door.

Yuzhu said the sunflowers were planted outside the door.

The sunflowers are arranged in a small circle outside, and other vegetables can be planted there.

He placed 12 sunflower seeds soaked in spiritual spring water on the ground outside the door.

Jianguo joined the army.

Yuzhu went home and closed the door first. She didn't have extra time to deal with Xu Guihua's loud speaker.

After entering the space, he planted the remaining sunflower seeds in the black soil and watered it with some spiritual spring water.

I harvested a batch of vegetables.

I soaked another piece of kelp.

I took some flour and made vegetable pancakes and kelp pancakes at home.

Fried in a frying pan, each one is golden and fragrant.

Jianguo hadn't returned yet when Xu Guihua came knocking on the door.

"Big sister, open the door quickly! I cut some leeks for you so you can have more food tomorrow!"

When she came to eat at noon, she saw that the new daughter-in-law had bought a lot of meat and marinated it all in soy sauce.

While she was envious, she also felt a little regretful. How much would it cost?

At noon, she kindly reminded Deputy Captain Zhou, but he didn't appreciate it.

This young wife is spoiled to the extreme.

Thinking that Xiaolong likes to run to Zhou's house the most, she has to establish a good relationship with him.

"Here I come, here I come!" Lu Yuzhu opened the door and threw the leeks on the bricks in the yard.

The vegetable fields in the yard were surrounded by bricks to form a large circle.

He pulled Xiaolong into the room. Xu Guihua followed him in and saw that there was half a pot of oil in the iron pot and they were frying pancakes.

"You put so much oil in it, you're really generous! Don't waste it, you still need to continue cooking."

Lu Yuzhu, "I know, I'll use it for cooking tomorrow. My mother-in-law grew some rapeseed flowers herself, and she harvested rapeseed and exchanged it for some oil at the commune.

They brought us quite a bit, and we bought some more at the military store that day, so we have enough oil to eat.”

Xu Guihua rolled her eyes and said, "No matter how much oil there is, you can't eat it carelessly. It won't go bad anyway.

Your mother-in-law sees you're newlywed and gives you all the goodies. Wait until next year and see if anyone would be willing to eat or use things like this!

When she returned to the countryside, her mother-in-law was unwilling to give her anything and even asked the battalion commander's son for money to subsidize other brothers in the family.

If she, the daughter-in-law who came to the door, dared to say a word more, her mother-in-law would laugh at her.

It was said that the two families were just joking and should not be taken seriously.

However, she disregarded her dignity and followed him to the army, wasting her most promising son's life.

Otherwise, I can definitely find a female officer in the army!

When they go back to their parents' home, their family members also want to take advantage of them.

Usually they just go back to get some seeds, and they don’t get any other benefits.

So they had no choice but to go home during the Chinese New Year every year, and Xu Guihua usually stayed in the military compound.

She also held Captain Jiang's money in her hands. Except for the money she used to honor her mother-in-law, she saved the rest and it would all belong to Dalong in the future.

I saw a pile of fried cakes in the enamel basin on the table.

Xu Guihua helped and poured the remaining oil in the pancake back into the pot.

Knead all the flour on your hands into pancakes and fry them in the pan.

Lu Yuzhu stood up, took three large round pancakes, and cut them in half on the chopping board.

"Sister-in-law, I won't keep you guys here to play. This is for you to take home and eat."

Xu Guihua, "How can this be so embarrassing?"
