"Are you the only one named Qi Hongwei in the military region?"

The female educated youth and the village chief's daughter couldn't believe it. Qi Hongwei nodded. After Commander Zhu asked, he found out that Qi Hongwei had been busy with training recently.

Then he asked the female educated youth and the village chief's daughter what was going on. Seeing that it had come to this, the two of them told everything.

It turned out that there was a man dating the two of them, and he was using the name Qi Hongwei.

Division Commander Zhu was very angry when he heard about this. He assured the two people that the military district would investigate the matter thoroughly and bring the person to justice. He would never allow anyone to discredit their soldiers.

They went back, but the matter also spread in the military area and the family compound. That day, everyone got together when they had nothing to do, and Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua were also there.

The two of them came to ask the military wives if they wanted to follow them to open up new land. After hearing this, no one had this idea. Seeing everyone like this, Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua did not force them.

"By the way, do you know who Lin Meimei's sister is going to marry?"

Xu Pandi said excitedly, and everyone shook their heads, motioning her to continue.

"It's Brigade Commander Duan."

"What? Brigade Commander Duan? Isn't Brigade Commander Duan already over forty this year? Lin Xue is only twenty. There's a huge generation gap between the two."

Everyone present thought so, and they didn't know what Lin Xue was trying to do. Brigade Commander Duan's ex-wife had passed away many years ago. It was said that she died of complications during childbirth.

"Do you know who is connecting these two people?"

"It was her sister, Lin Meimei, who personally went to talk to Brigade Commander Duan."

Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua also heard some gossip and thought that Lin Meimei was quite open-minded as she actually introduced Brigade Commander Duan to her sister.

Come to think of it, Lin Xue was determined to find an officer, and there was no one more suitable than Brigade Commander Duan in this military region.

Seeing that no one spoke, Xu Pandi spoke to herself.

"This brigade commander is really disgusting. He's an old cow eating young grass. A man in his forties has the nerve to take advantage of a young girl."

No one dared to agree with this. Seeing everyone's expression change, Xu Pandi felt that she had said too much and quickly stood up.

"I'm going home to cook. Sisters-in-law, you can all go home and pretend I never said this."

Naturally, no one would spread the news, as it would not benefit them. As soon as Xu Pandi left, Lin Meimei came over with Lin Xue.

"Hello, sisters-in-law. I'm holding my wedding in the cafeteria the day after tomorrow. Please come and give me some face."

"Go, go, we will definitely go when the time comes."

Even for the sake of Brigade Commander Duan, no one would dare not go. Seeing everyone like this, Lin Xue smiled even more happily. It seemed that she was also very willing to marry Brigade Commander Duan.

Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua went home without staying long, and agreed to call Chen Sufen and Liu Erfeng to go to open up the wasteland together tomorrow morning.

In the evening, Gu Yunduan knew that she was going to open up wasteland and immediately said that he could help. Ye Zhaozhao refused, saying that they were just trying to plant crops now and she could do it on her own.

"Gu Yunduan, I can go by myself, and Sister-in-law Sun and the others can come with me."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Gu Yunduan only reminded her not to work too hard, saying that land reclamation could not be rushed. Ye Zhaozhao knew this of course.

After taking a shower, the two of them went to bed. Gu Yunduan thought that she still had to go out to open up new land tomorrow, so he didn't bother her.

After breakfast the next day, Ye Zhaozhao took the scallion omelet and a pot of sugar water and went out to find Sun Xiuhua, and waited for everyone to arrive.

Everyone went to the wasteland closest to the family compound, which was about one acre in size. Four people took hoes and started turning over the soil.

Her hands were numb from the vibration of the hoe handle, but Ye Zhaozhao didn't plan to stop. She wanted to plant corn on the entire acre of land. Corn can not only be used as a staple food, but can also be used to produce oil.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhaozhao's hands moved faster and faster, and so did the others. In one morning, Ye Zhaozhao had opened up more than 50 square meters.

Sun Xiuhua has ten more square meters than her, and Chen Sufen and Liu Erfeng have more than forty square meters. Ye Zhaozhao is very happy. At this rate, they will be able to clear the land soon.

During the lunch break, the four of them sat together to eat. Ye Zhaozhao distributed egg pancakes to everyone, and everyone also shared what they brought.

Dipping it in the chili peppers and dried pork that Ye Zhaozhao brought, the taste was amazing. Chen Sufen ate several pieces of dried pork in a row, and she felt embarrassed to take any more.

She had dried the wild boar meat at home. She asked Ye Zhaozhao how to make the dried pork and planned to try it when she got home. The dried pork was so delicious.

While everyone was eating, Ye Zhaozhao suddenly discovered wild ducks in a small ditch. There was a small ditch in the place where they were clearing land, and the ducks were moving around in the ditch.

Several people were tempted and wanted to catch a duck to eat. Thinking of the delicious duck meat, everyone swallowed their saliva, but in the end they failed to catch one.

Wild ducks are not so easy to catch, but Ye Zhaozhao thought that since there are wild ducks here, there might be duck eggs nearby, so he would wait until the land reclamation is finished in the afternoon.

The four people started looking. Chen Su found it first. She found three duck eggs in a small bush. Seeing that she found it successfully, everyone worked harder.

After searching for a while, the four people found a total of twenty duck eggs. They decided to divide the eggs equally, with each person getting five. Chen Sufen hurried home with the five duck eggs.

She was going home to make scrambled eggs for the children, so the three of them also went home. When they got home, Ye Zhaozhao planned to use these duck eggs to make salted duck eggs.

First wash the duck eggs, coat them with salt and white wine, and leave them for ten to twenty days before eating. After making the salted duck eggs, she started to prepare today's dinner.

She steamed a pot of steamed buns and took a piece of bacon to make cabbage stew with bacon and vermicelli. When she finished cooking, Gu Yunduan came back. He went to fetch some water before sitting down to eat.

"Wife, are you getting used to the first day of clearing the wasteland?"

"Adapt. We've only done a quarter of the work on our first day today."

Ye Zhaozhao was thinking about something else. When she was clearing the land today, she found that the soil on the island was too hard, so she couldn't grow crops. It would be great if there was fertilizer.

"Gu Yunduan, do you know of any nearby villages where I can exchange cow dung?"

Ye Zhaozhao knew that there were cows in the village, and farming now depended entirely on cows. Gu Yunduan nodded.

"Wife, I'll go ask you tomorrow."

"it is good."

After dinner, Gu Yunduan took the initiative to wash the pot. Ye Zhaozhao lay on the bed and didn't want to move. Although she was a little tired, she was very happy as long as she thought that she would be able to achieve food freedom in the future.

The next day, Ye Zhaozhao continued to open up wasteland with everyone. Today she saw two wild ducks swimming again, and Ye Zhaozhao was not going to let them go this time.

The four people took action and surrounded the wild duck. Sun Xiuhua was quick-eyed and quick-handed and grabbed the duck directly. Chen Sufen also caught one.

The four people decided to have dinner together as four families. They took the duck back to the family compound. The military wives saw that the four of them had returned from clearing the land.

Still holding the duck in her hand, Xu Pandi looked at the duck with shining eyes. The others were no exception, as they were all making a fuss because they were short of meat.

"Where did you catch the duck?"

"It's right where we're clearing the land."

Xu Pandi rolled her eyes twice and suddenly had an idea in her mind, but she wanted to say something more important right now.

"I heard that the Qi Hongwei incident has been thoroughly investigated."

"what happened?"
