Marrying Leng Libing Wang and having four children, traveling back to the 70s

Chapter 601: The Battle of Picking Eggs in the Grass Along the River

"middle--"

"okay--"

"Okay, leave it to the sisters-in-law."

"Okay, no problem—"

"Make sure to complete the mission, Sister Su."

Five sisters-in-law replied readily.

In the past few days, they have always been able to motivate the other sisters-in-law to complete the work at hand efficiently, which is really awesome.

Baby Su Nianxi, along with the military wives, was busy as hell; her four little ones were not idle today either, especially in the afternoon, the four brothers were busy and having fun.

Erbao Yuanyuan: "Tuantuan, hurry up, there are more wild duck eggs over there, in clutches."

Little Sibao Dangdang: "It's amazing over there too. Some of them have hatched little wild ducks, and there are also pheasant eggs——"

Sanbaomanman: "Uh! And over there, there are wild quails. I saw several groups of wild quails and the quail eggs they laid."

Dabao Tuantuan said: "We have to find a way ourselves. Xiaoxixi and the others are very busy. You can take Brother Maizi and the others to collect duck eggs and quail eggs first."

Little Sibao Dangdang: "Well, let's gather the eggs together first, and then ask the adults to carry them back after we're done."

Dabao Tuantuan: "Be careful. Brother Maizi and his group are twelve people in total. The four of us will be divided into two teams, with each team leading six people."

Sanbao Manman: "That's right, they will be safer with us."

Erbao Yuanyuan: "Yes, that's what we should do. Dangdang, you team up with Tuantuan, and I'll team up with Manman."

Xiao Sibao Dangdang: "Okay, here you go. This is motionless powder. If you encounter scary animals, sprinkle it on them. This powder will make them unable to move for at least three days."

Sanbaomanman: "Dangdang, you are still the best. Come on! Give me a kiss."

Dabao Tuantuan: "..." Childish——

Erbao Yuanyuan: “…” Childish boy.

Little Sibao Dangdang: "I don't want it, go away -"

Dabao Tuantuan: "Remember, don't forget to let them get closer to the river, it's dangerous——"

Sanbaomanman: "I know."

Erbao Yuanyuan: "I understand. Whoever dares to disobey me will not be allowed to play tomorrow."

Little Sibao Dangdang: "Got it."

Well, the four little ones took twelve little brothers and sisters aged five or six to go on an egg-picking expedition in the grass by the river: wild duck eggs, pheasant chicken eggs, and wild quail eggs. They had a lot of fun picking them up.

After an afternoon, wow, wow, nearly 100 pounds of eggs of all sizes were lying in a pile on the sand by the river, what a spectacular sight.

Another sun sets, and the military wives put away their hoes and prepare to return home.

"Don't go, don't go—"

"Mom, don't go——"

"Hmm," Lin Damai, the youngest son of Deputy Commander Lin of the First Regiment, called out in a hoarse voice.

"Xiao Xixi——"

"Here, here, egg, egg—"

The three treasures are full, and the voice is very happy.

"We picked up a lot of eggs, Xiao Xixi——"

"Come here, come here—"

"We can't lift it."

The second baby, Yuanyuan, the little fire leopard, was even more amazing. He and the little potato jumped up and shouted, like Sun Wukong who exploded the mountain.

"mother……"

"mother--"

"Mother, eggs—"

The other little kids also started dancing and chattering.

"Hahaha……"

"What are these little kids doing?"

Mrs. Duan Hong, the wife of Captain Shi of the First Regiment, had a kind face and laughed.

"What can you do, you idiots?"

"Let's play—"

The wife of Captain Tang of the Second Regiment glanced at Sister Mei, then stretched her neck and called her little daughter, grinning.

"You idiots—"

"Let's go——"

"Let's go home—"

Lei Ye, the wife of Captain Wang of the First Battalion of the Fifth Regiment, and her six-year-old son Songzi were also hiding in the group of idiots. They shouted at the idiots fifty meters away.

Well, her voice is absolutely first-rate and bright. One sound or another can absolutely cover everything.

"Hahaha--"

"Sister-in-law Lei Ye, you are good at this——"

"That bunch of idiots can understand everything."

"We save our voices."

Mrs. Xiang Mei, the wife of Captain Tang of the Second Regiment, laughed heartily toward the sky and praised sincerely.

"Hahaha……"

"In our family compound, Ye Zi'er's voice is the loudest—"

"Hahaha……"

"Of course not! It's not only bright, but also pleasant to the ear."

"Her folk song was so soft and sweet that if her husband heard it in the military camp, his bones would immediately become so weak that he couldn't even walk and couldn't even train."

"Hahaha……"

"Yes, yes, yes, I've heard it. Sister Ye's singing is incredible. It's the kind that will make her husband lie down on the kang obediently and let Sister Ye bully him for ten days or half a month after hearing it—"

"Hahaha……"

"Sister Ninghua, what you said is—"

"..."

A large group of military wives gathered together, talking about everything, and Su Nianxi's baby son's mouth twitched when he heard it. He began to daydream and even had a lot of vivid images in his mind.

"That is!"

"My husband loves to listen to the folk songs I sing. He also loves my voice. I remember that he was won over by my folk song voice."

"Back then, the village beauty had her eyes on my man. She even bribed the matchmaker. If it weren't for my good voice, he—"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"He and the village beauty got married long ago and had a baby. What's my business? My voice helped me get a military officer and we have four children—"

"Well, I made a fortune."

Lei Ye, the wife of Captain Wang of the First Battalion of the Fifth Regiment, had no savings at all and was immediately taken care of by Yu Yourongyan.

"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha……"

The laughter and joy of the military wives resounded in the fields of hope, and it was so refreshing to hear.

Songzi: "Go home, my mother, don't you want eggs anymore?"

Brother Maizi: "My mom loves to eat eggs! Why doesn't she come over——"

Sanbao Manman: "Uh~ Tuantuan, can't they hear us clearly?"

Erbao Yuanyuan: "Why are you just smiling and not coming over to us?"

Dabao Tuantuan: "..." It's not that I understood it but didn't hear it clearly.

Little Sibao Dangdang: "We shouted too softly, they didn't hear us—"

Sanbao Manman: "That's easy. Come on, let's all shout together. Our women didn't understand what we were shouting just now."

Little Sibao Dangdang: "Alright!"

Erbao Yuanyuan: "Okay——"

Dabao Tuantuan: "Hmm..."

Matsuko: “Okay—”

Brother Maizi: “Okay—”

Sanbao Manman: "Just shout 'Woman, come here, there are so many eggs!', prepare to shout——"

Dabao Tuantuan: “…” What are you yelling about? Woman???

Tsk, "Woman", no matter how fast Dabao Tuantuan reacted, he couldn't withstand Sanbao's full command.

"Woman—"

"Woman—"

"Woman—"

"come over--"

“Eggs, so many eggs!!!”

"Come here, girl—"

"Eggs, eggs, eggs..."

"Women, eggs—"

"Women, get ready to yell—"

"Wild duck eggs—"

"..."

This "shout together loudly" is not that "shout together loudly", it's all messed up. In an instant, the banks of the Green River are filled with the sounds of children and frogs.

Dabao Tuantuan: "..."

Erbao Yuanyuan: “!!!”

Little Four Treasures Dangdang: "..."

Sanbaomanman: "It's hard to understand what I'm saying???"

Well, the four little ones overestimated the understanding ability of more than a dozen children——

But there is still an effect.

Duan Hong's wife: "Why are they all suddenly gathered together, jumping and shouting?"

Su Nianxi's baby: "..." Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, Manman, Dangdang, why are you also dancing with joy?

Kang Yu's wife: "My Maizi, what's that little mouth of yours yelling about?"

Xiang Mei's wife: "Strange, why are you jumping around like that without coming over here?"

Sister-in-law An Donghua: "Tsk, what are these little kids crying about?"

Lei Ye's sister-in-law: "Hey, Xiao Songzi, weird???"

"..."

Su Nianxi's son: "Sisters-in-law, wait a minute, I'll go over and take a look!"

There were bursts of wows, and the sisters-in-law were all confused. After hearing the sweet voice of Su Nianxi, the baby walked away in big strides.

Sanbaomanman: "Xiao Xixi, the egg——"

Little Sibao Dangdang: "Hurry, Xiao Xixi, there are a lot of wild duck eggs, pheasant chicken eggs and wild quail eggs."

Erbao Yuanyuan: "Yes, there are so many, we can't take them all."

Dabao Tuantuan: "There's no basket to put it in."

Su Nianxi's son: "Oh my god! Why are there so many???"

Sanbaomanman: "We picked up everything in the grass and reeds by the river."

Su Nianxi's son: "Well, well, that's too much, right?"

Erbao Yuanyuan: "We searched along the riverbank, heading towards the reeds downstream, and that's all we found. It's all we got in one afternoon."

Well, baby Su Nianxi was shocked. There were so many eggs, big and small. It was incredible and unbelievable.

At present, wild duck eggs are the main food. In this era of material scarcity, each egg is very rare.

Su Nianxi did not blame the four little ones. She knew their abilities and knew they could definitely take good care of this group of little brothers and sisters. Besides, children of this generation were basically raised in a free-range manner.

Going up the mountain to destroy bird nests and going down the river to catch fish are common things.

Besides, the river is shallow, not deep at all, only about 60 to 70 centimeters deep, less than one meter. The four little ones can definitely have fun and protect the group of kids.

Now it was Su Nianxi's turn. She lost her composure and shouted at the twenty or so military wives with her voice and gestures.

Duan Hong's wife: "What's going on?"

Sister-in-law Xiang Mei: "Hey, Sister Su, why are you jumping and shouting too?"

Kang Yu's wife: "Quick, go and take a look, who knows what happened?"

Sister-in-law An Donghua: "Hey mom, please don't let anything happen to any of the kids."

Sister-in-law Lei Ye: "Hurry, hurry, go over there, go and take a look."

"..."

Although they thought that the Tiedai River was safe, the twenty or so military wives were still frightened. Their expressions suddenly changed, and they dropped their hoes and rushed over in panic.

But the sisters-in-law who were leaving in droves were also shocked when they arrived.

Huang Ninghua's sister-in-law: "Oh my mother——"

Sister-in-law Xiang Mei: “Hohohoho——”

Kang Yu's wife: "Fufu, this, this, this..."

Sister-in-law An Donghua: "Hey, wild duck eggs?"

Sister-in-law Zhou Bingying: "Pheasant eggs——"

Lei Ye's sister-in-law: "Hey, this, this, why are there so many???"

Sister-in-law Xiang Mei: "These small ones are quail eggs! I have seen eggs laid by the quail of my village chief's family. They are like this——"

"..."

The sisters-in-law were not calm, but surprised and happy.

"Hee hee hee--"

“It’s surprising, isn’t it?”

"What these little brats have accomplished in the afternoon."

Su Nianxi, my dear, smiled brightly, and I felt proud to say so.

"Isn't this too much?"

"I've been with the army for three or four years, and I've never seen so many wild gooses on the riverbank!"

Mrs. Duan Hong rubbed her eyes thoughtfully with both hands and said in disbelief.

"Yeah--"

"I've been in the army for three years and have never seen one. Occasionally I find a few and it makes me very happy."

"This afternoon, these little kids, just... where did this come from?"

Sister Xiang Mei also kept rubbing her eyes, saying in disbelief.

"..."

The other sisters-in-law were also surprised and puzzled.

"Hey hey hey-"

"You don't understand. This year, wild ducks from all over the world have come to our green riverside to make their home—"

"We accidentally broke into their nest and stole their eggs."

The second little fire leopard is round and round, holding his chest with one hand, and pressing the index finger of the other hand against his lower lip, and speaking in a baby voice.

"Hahaha--"

"It really is."

"I've come here to cut reeds for firewood in previous years, and our men have also patrolled here, but nothing like this has ever happened to us."

"It seems like what Yuanyuan said is true. This year, wild ducks from all over the world have gathered here and made their home by the Tieli River."

……

The sisters-in-law were overjoyed as they looked at the many wild ducks flying low in the sky over the river in the distance. They talked to each other and tried to make up for their surprise.

"Xiao Xixi——"

"Starting tomorrow—"

"You guys farm the land, and we'll raise wild ducks and collect their eggs."

Sanbao Manman, who had a green wild duck feather pinned on his left earlobe, put his hands on his waist and spoke in a hoarse voice, full of plans.

Erbao Yuanyuan: "Let's release wild ducks for us too, and take out their eggs—"

Little Sibao Dangdang: "That's right."

Dabao Tuantuan: “…” No one will stop you.

The two little ones, Yuanyuan and Dangdang, also echoed and arranged things very clearly.

"Little brat—"

"up to you."

"But remember not to run into the river. Be safe."

"If you need anything, shout for help."

Su Nianxi, my dear, whose smile was as sweet as a delicate flower, pouted and said to me angrily.

"Hahaha--"

"These kids are addicted to this—"

"That's right, there's no way we can pick up so many wild duck eggs in a day."

"..."

Including Su Nianxi and Baozi's family, there were a total of 29 military wives present. After each family received a pound of wild duck eggs, they sent the remaining dozens of pounds of eggs of all sizes to the army canteen.

Well, it was an unexpected harvest, and Comrade Liu, the head of the cafeteria’s fire department, was so surprised that he couldn’t stop smiling.
