Lin Qingqing was really tired tonight. After washing, she went into the room and fell asleep.
The next morning
Song Yiyuan went to the army at around 6 o'clock. Lin Qingqing got up a little later. When she got up, Xiaomei had already tidied up the yard.
The vegetable patch on the left side of the yard has also been watered, and the green vegetables have begun to sprout.
"Sister, you are up. The commander came to look for you early in the morning. I said you were not up yet, but he said he would come back at noon."
You are so anxious, Came early in the morning.
"Well, let's eat first. When you meet Chief Wang in the future, you should take the initiative to say hello."
"Okay." She stuttered when she saw the chief in the morning. I was afraid that I would get into trouble if I said something wrong.
Lin Qingqing saw Xiaomei's face turn pale, she smiled and said: "Don't be too nervous, no matter how big the leader is, as long as we don't make mistakes, no one can do anything to us. This chief is your brother-in-law's boss, maybe There will be many places to deal with him in the future."
Xiaomei nodded dully. He had only been in the army for a few days, and he had really seen the world.
She took out all the breakfast in the pot, finished breakfast with Lin Qingqing, cleared away the dishes, and took the hoe and vegetable seeds to Tongzilou to find Xiuhong's sister-in-law to plant vegetables in the private plot.
Sister-in-law Xiuhong wanted to take her to the river to find her way there, so that it would be convenient for her to carry water for her own plot in the future.
Lin Qingqing was alone at home. She took out a medical book and started flipping through it. In the past few days, she had read "Outline of Medicine" and "Clinical Medical Training".
A hundred years later, humans will no longer need to rely on hospitals to treat diseases. However, in 1976, China's medical level was low. The average life expectancy of humans was only 35 years old, and the infant mortality rate was as high as 20%.
This set of data surprised Lin Qingqing. Ordinary people are likely to lose their lives due to a serious illness.
She could only lament that this era was too backward.
......
At the gate of the family courtyard
Under the big pine tree, the sisters-in-law gathered together. After eating, they took advantage of the cool weather to When they came out for activities, some were holding their children, and some were picking vegetables.
Here you can hear first-hand news, the sisters-in-law exchange knowledge, and they will not miss any disturbance in the compound. This is simply a base for the sisters-in-law to communicate with each other.
It is inconvenient to go out in the compound, so this is all their fun.
There are sisters-in-law who don’t like to hear that the East has the upper hand and the West has the shortcomings, so they all go to work on their own land, or diligently dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms on the mountain behind the family compound.
Although men in the army have allowances, people in this era are used to frugality, and every penny they can save is worth it.
Zhang Xiufen grabbed a handful of melon seeds under the pine tree, leaned against the tree trunk, glanced at everyone's faces, and said with squinting eyes: "You guess I just came hereWho did you see when you were there? It was the cousin of Team Leader Song's wife. She and Xu Xiuhong were heading to their private plot. "
"You said that Team Leader Song's wife loves to stay in the yard every day and doesn't interact with others. Is there something wrong with her personality? "
"My cousin has done all the work on the private plot. What does she do? Look at her delicate hands. It seems that she is not a worker. She doesn't even cook at home. He also said he came from the countryside, do you believe it? "
She lowered her head, stretched her neck and looked at the sisters-in-law sitting on the ground one by one, with contempt on her face.

There was a sister-in-law who liked to talk about people's shortcomings. She sneered: "What kind of person is from the country? If Team Leader Song is really from the country, would he be willing to marry her? You didn't see that day, Team Leader Song's wife and Zhang Jingwan from the cultural troupe were standing together, both fairer and more like city dwellers. "
A sister-in-law held down the squirming child in her arms and answered: "That's not what happened. Not all the furniture in the big truck that Team Leader Song pulled yesterday was what his wife wanted. Last night, Team Leader Song invited people to dinner. I could smell the smell of meat in Tongzilou. ”
“I’m from the countryside too, and I’m not willing to cook that kind of meat dish even if I’m entertaining guests. I’ve never seen the large wardrobe with flowers on the truck yesterday, and my man just asked me I can't even tell you what you want. "
Zhang Xiufen threw away the melon seed shells in her hands and said with a crooked eye: "I think Team Leader Song's wife is a hedonist. How can such a person be qualified to be a member of the military? She should be punished through hard labor. "
Zhou Dajuan next to her agreed with her face: "Tell me, which of our family members who came to join the army has not had a hard life? She came to join the army and brought a relative to work. She is young. , with hands and feet, isn’t this hedonism? "
Xu Fengzhi on the ground sighed and said regretfully: "I heard that the chief and the political commissar went to dinner last night. Didn't they all look at the face of Team Leader Song? His wife is so lawless and ignores Team Leader Song. I think sooner or later Team Leader Song will be dragged down by her wife. "
Sisters-in-law, you and I have never met Lin Qingqing in person a few times, let alone come into contact with her. They have degraded her and spread her bad reputation.
...
The private land of the military compound is right in front of the Tongzi Building, and there are many sisters-in-law working here.
Xiaomei dug up her own land. , sprinkled the vegetable seeds, and went to the river Xiuhong said to fetch water to water the ground.
Just as she was about to go home, she was stopped by several sisters-in-law, who called her all with eagle claws. The sisters-in-law from the team saw Xiaomei upstairs and came to say hello.
Yesterday at Team Leader Song’s house, Xiaomei took care of the children all night and grabbed a lot of candy before leaving. In the child's pocket
I am happier to be good to my children than to myself. My sisters-in-law also like Xiaomei's cheerful temperament.Also hardworking and capable.
The sisters-in-law came to say hello empty-handed. Now is the season of beans. They picked a lot of vegetables in their own fields, the most common ones were beans and green peppers. < /p>
She knows that these are all people in the brother-in-law group, and the relationship must be established well. They will keep things for them. This way, they will be familiar with each other in the future.
When she came home, she was carrying two baskets full of vegetables.
It’s almost 11 o’clock now, and I’m just in time to cook when I get home.
"Sister, I'm back."
Lin Qingqing was sitting in the pergola, saw the vegetables in her hand, and asked: "Did the sister-in-law over at Tongzilou give it to me? "
Xiaomei smiled and nodded: "Sister, how did you know that these two baskets are full of beans? I went to cook them and dry them, and make buns to eat in the winter."
"They are all on my own land. Are the vegetables ready? You can rest for a while, don't worry about it."
She went to the hall to get a glass of water and asked Xiaomei to sit in the pergola to rest.
Where could Xiaomei sit? She drank the water and went to the kitchen to cook beans.
Boil it, put it in a basin, put it directly on the bluestone to dry, and then make lunch.
