After breakfast, Lu Hanzhou heard that his wife and Xu Zilan had leased a tea field in Niujia Village, so he went with her to take a look.

In the valley, Captain Niu was leading his men to build a house.

Xu Zilan was there too. When she saw them, she immediately ran over and said, "Second sister, second brother-in-law."

Xu Zijin looked at the foundation that was almost half dug, and said in surprise: "Uncle Niu, you are so fast."

Captain Niu smiled and said, "The weather is good now, so hurry up and get it done. It can still be dried."

"Captain Lu, you married a capable wife."

Lu Hanzhou felt very comfortable listening to this: "Uncle Niu, I will have to rely on you to take care of me in the future."

"No, no, no, it's Xiao Xu who is looking after me."

Captain Niu shook his head repeatedly: "Farmers have no money just by tinkering with those few acres of thin land."

"Xiao Xu found us such a good job. Now that we have finished this job, we won't have to worry about the New Year."

"Just rest assured, we will build it well for you!"

Lu Hanzhou smiled and said, "Uncle Niu is a man we can trust. With you personally doing it, the quality is absolutely guaranteed."

"Hahaha~~"

Captain Niu laughed out loud. No one doesn't like to be praised, no matter how old they are.

After touring the tea fields, the two went to Grandma Jiu's house.

"Okay, okay, girl, you have good taste. You know how to choose a man. This child has good taste."

Xu Zijin laughed loudly: "Of course, if you want to choose, choose the best!"

"Grandma Jiu, he will take a day off tomorrow, so we will go up the mountain to chop some firewood for you."

"Ah."

Grandma Jiu didn't say much. She went into the house, fumbled around for a while, and came out, stuffing a jade button into Lu Hanzhou's hand.

"I asked someone to bless it. I know you soldiers don't believe in this, but this is a small token of my appreciation."

"When you go out in the future, just buckle it around your belt. It will protect you."

Lu Hanzhou did not refuse: "Thank you, Granny Nine."

Granny Nine shook her head: "No need to thank me, this is not a valuable thing, it's just a token of my appreciation."

"If you treat my granddaughter well, I will be satisfied."

Lu Hanzhou saluted Grandma Jiu: "Please rest assured, Grandma Jiu, I will complete the task!"

Granny Nine nodded with a smile. She was really happy that the girl she liked had a good man.

The two of them helped Grandma Jiu with the cleaning, as there were some places that the old lady couldn't clean.

In the past, it was Niu Niantao who helped, but now they have returned to the capital, and Grandma Jiu doesn’t want to invite people from the villagers, and some places are very dusty.

Granny Nine didn't say anything. She watched the couple busying around, especially watching Lu Hanzhou climbing up and down, her eyes were full of admiration.

After cleaning for more than an hour, the house inside and outside became much brighter.

"Go wash them and eat the eggs."

Granny Jiu raised chickens and ducks, and often asked villagers to help sell eggs to save some pocket money.

She wanted to let outsiders know that she also had a way to make money.

Real free-range eggs, three in each person’s bowl.

Xu Zijin didn't hesitate, washed up, and looked at Lu Hanzhou: "Eat."

The two of them sat down and started eating, and Grandma Jiu's smile spread from her heart to her face.

The kind eyes he looked at them were the same look that an elder would give to a younger person: love and affection.

After eating snacks, Granny Jiu took out the radio.

She asked Lu Hanzhou to help tinker with it since it hadn’t been making any noises recently.

Seeing this, Xu Zijin said, "If it doesn't work, then forget it. I'll buy you a new one."

Granny Nine glanced at her and said, "It's not like I don't have one. I just put it outside for you to listen to."

This old man is really scared by others.

Come to think of it, Xu Zijin really felt sorry for Granny Nine. She was guarding a huge amount of treasure, but she was living like a beggar...

"Guangdong Province has a tape recorder imported from abroad that can be used to listen to operas."

"Grandma Jiu, do you like listening to opera?"

The electronic counter in the space has many elderly opera players and many USB flash drives, with a wide variety of operas.

This thing is more practical than TV in this era.

When Granny Nine heard this, she said, "Of course I like it. In the past, the Niu family would invite a troupe of actors for every festival. I really like that."

nice! You love it.

Xu Zijin nodded: "Well, I'll have someone send one over and pick out a few tapes."

Granny Nine nodded repeatedly: "Okay, don't be afraid to spend money."

"Buy me anything new."

With a puff, Xu Zijin laughed: "I see, rich lady, I'll go to the provincial capital in a few days and help you collect the rent."

"it is good."

As the old man and the young man were talking, Lu Han started to tinker with the radio.

Xu Zijin thought that Lu Hanzhou was just tinkering around, but he didn't expect that in just a short while, he had actually fixed the radio.

"Sure, you know this?"

"Lu Hanzhou, is there anything you don't understand?"

When Lu Hanzhou heard this, he became depressed!

"Wife, is this difficult? In your mind, is it that I only know how to fight and kill?"

Does she have it?

Xu Zijin rolled his eyes: "The army is learning this?"

Lu Hanzhou said, "We learn everything. Mechanics, circuits, simple medical knowledge, etc. are all required subjects for the special training class."

"When you go out for training, you encounter difficulties. You have to solve basic problems yourself."

All-round talent!

These words popped into Xu Zijin's mind.

She asked curiously, "What kind of people can enter the special training class?"

"These soldiers have been carefully selected through comprehensive assessments and at all levels."

It turned out to be the case.

Xu Zijin became even more curious: "Isn't it a military school?"

Lu Hanzhou nodded: "It's a bit similar, but it's different from ordinary military academies."

"It can be said that it is a special training camp, where the devilish training lasts for more than half a year."

No wonder it’s so powerful!

Xu Zijin's understanding of Lu Hanzhou has reached a new level.

Seeing that it was already eleven o'clock, the couple helped Grandma Jiu tidy up the room and then went home.

At the gate of the family compound, the two met Zhao Daqing and a woman coming out of the compound.

"Hello, Captain Lu, hello, sister-in-law."

Zhao Daqing is the same age as Lu Hanzhou, but he is a few months younger. They greeted each other immediately when they met.

Lu Yingzhou nodded at him calmly: "Hello, Secretary Zhao, are there any guests?"

Zhao Daqing looked embarrassed: "Yes, Comrade Su came to pay back the money. Her mother was sick a few days ago, so she borrowed some money from me."

"Oh, you're busy."

Four people passed by each other...

Xu Zijin, who had been silent the whole time, sighed: "Secretary Zhao is really a lovesick man. This woman is much worse than Zilan."

What do you mean?

Lu Hanzhou turned his head and asked, "What are you talking about? What's the relationship between him and your cousin?"

Xu Zijin smiled and told her that someone was acting as a matchmaker for Xu Zilan and that Zhao Daqing still had feelings for her.

"I'm not angry, I understand."

“First love is the most unforgettable thing in a person’s heart. Unless he hates this first love, he will never forget it.”

"Secretary Zhao did this not because he has bad character, but because he was just expressing his true feelings."

Lu Hanzhou: “…”

——His wife...actually sympathizes with Zhao Daqing???
