My Open Life [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 223 Construction Corps 3
Xu Changming and Xiaoxiao's marriage has also been settled, and there are only ten days left at the end of this month.
The wedding room was not set up in Xu Cuiping's house, but in Xiaoxiao's house, where she lived.Xu Changming is an open-minded person, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with setting up the wedding room in Xiaoxiao's house.You must know that Xiaoxiao's home will also be his home in the future.Since the wedding room was set up in my sister's house for only two or three days, it would be better to set it up in Xiaoxiao's room from the beginning, saving the trouble of decorating it in my sister's house.
As for what Grandpa Chen said, in the future, let a child be named Chen to inherit the incense here, and he also agreed, no matter what the surname is, he will be his child.
"Xiaoxiao, are you ready?" Xu Changming drove the ox cart to Xiaoxiao's house to pick her up and go to the town to get a marriage certificate.The photo was taken a few days ago, and I went to get the photo early today to get the marriage certificate.
"Okay. Let's go." Xiaoxiao held a blue plain cloth bag in her hand.
After a few days of getting along, Xu Changming found that Xiaoxiao was not that kind of shy girl, she had a good personality, magnanimity, and a kind heart.
He paid more attention to Xiaoxiao than when he was in the army.In the past few days, I have helped to do things together, and even helped to go to work together.
Xiaoxiao got on the bullock cart and sat on the other side, far away from Xu Changming.
I haven't received my marriage certificate yet, so let's be more reserved.Xiaoxiao took out a multigrain steamed stuffed bun from the bag, it was big.Handed it to Xu Changming who was driving ahead, "Didn't you have breakfast?"
"Hey, I really haven't eaten." Xu Changming knew that what his sister said was right, and Xiaoxiao was capable.This steamed bun is really delicious.He then took a bite of the steamed bun, it was so soft. "tasty."
"That's for sure." Xiaoxiao is not modest, since she wants to live together, she still has to show him a few brushes, so as not to underestimate others.
But Xiaoxiao also thinks very clearly that no matter what time and space, men's inferiority cannot be ignored, and she can't be too delicate. Xu Changming doesn't seem to be someone who likes delicate women.You can't be like a female man, let a man find no sense of presence in the family, and make a man feel like I'm an uncle again and again.It is not advisable to tire yourself into an old scalper in the end.
Xiaoxiao adheres to one principle, she still has to act like a baby occasionally, she also needs to be able to do things, and she needs to be able to survive independently.Thinking about it makes me tired and panic, being a woman is really not easy.
Xu Changming told Xiaoxiao about his time in the army when he had nothing to do. Finally, Xu Changming parked the carriage aside and looked at Xiaoxiao with courage. The atmosphere was good, and he wanted to just say it. "Xiaoxiao, let me tell you one thing. Don't be angry, and don't get angry. If you don't want to, we don't need to get this marriage certificate or you can live in your hometown and don't go with me. I don't blame you .”
"It's not that you have violated the principle! If that's the case, I won't..." Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Changming vigilantly.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I will never do anything to be sorry for you. I just, just, just, oops, let me tell you clearly, I changed my job to a different place, not an ordinary place, it's a barren and inhabited place to farm, This is just the beginning now. There are desolate places everywhere. There are not many people inhabited after walking for a long time, and the conditions are difficult. The chief asked us to take our family members. If you don’t want to go, you can stay in your hometown and watch it in a year or two. I'll do it once, and I'll come back to see you when I'm free."
Xu Changming's bright eyes looked at Xiaoxiao with anticipation, Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat, and it didn't take long for her to understand that Xu Changming was catching up with this matter, and also lived in shacks everywhere, with weeds and woods everywhere .
She sighed deeply for herself, and the twist of fate made herself want to cry.She took a deep breath, she was already standing on the edge, and she had no way out, so she could only move forward without hesitation.
"Xu Changming, do you want to take me with you this time?"
"Well, that's my plan. If you don't want to go, you don't have to. The leader doesn't ask me to bring my wife."
"Then are you the leader?" Leaders generally take the lead, so ask yourself.
"I'm a company commander, but I'm fine."
"Forget it, I'll go with you. Since I'm about to get married, I have nothing to say." Xiaoxiao herself felt helpless when she heard it.
"Xiaoxiao, don't force it." Xu Changming knew that Xiaoxiao had no choice but to agree.
"Stop talking, drive the car." Xiaoxiao waved her hand, she really felt a little uncomfortable, she is not one of those women who don't know anything, but she knows how hard it is to open up wasteland in the early stage.It is Xiaoxiao's principle to not be punished if you can not be punished.
But Xiaoxiao is not one of those messy people, even if Xu Changming said in advance, she still wants to go.Now is also good, I can prepare in advance.
They were silent all the way, and the two of them felt better when they arrived at the photo studio, with smiles on their faces.After getting the photo, I went through my own procedures, and with the blessing of the staff, I got the marriage certificate.And there are sugar tickets and the like. Every couple who gets married has these tickets as long as they get a certificate.
"Daughter-in-law, we have obtained the certificate. From today on, you will be my wife." Xu Changming smiled happily. He knew that Xiaoxiao agreed to go there with him, and he was very grateful.
"Smell, getting the certificate doesn't count, we haven't treated yet?"
"There's no rush, we'll set up wine in just two days." Xu Changming is now more eager than ever to have a home of his own.
"Then wait until the wedding day?"
"Xiaoxiao, we were in a hurry to take pictures last time. Let's go shopping in the city today? I'll buy you new clothes. Let's get married and buy other things. What do you want to buy? Don't worry about money I have saved a lot these years, especially in the past three years I have been on the front line. I didn’t spend my salary and I still have some bills, all for three years, but I sent some money to the homes of the comrades who died. But I still There are quite a few left."
"Okay, then let's buy some things and take them away at that time. They can be used after we get there. Just put some commonly used things at home."
"You are the head of the house, and I will listen to you. I will give you all the remaining money when I go back, and some are on the deposit certificate."
"Okay, I will manage the family's money from now on, and you will be responsible for earning money. I promise to take care of the logistics." The original owner's parents loved her very much because the marriage they made for the daughter was not bad, and they were only an only child.Let the original owner study until the second year of high school. If the original owner's mother was not in poor health and no one did the housework at home, the original owner would definitely continue to study.But even this is much better than many rural girls.
The original owner also learned Chinese medicine from her father, and she would be able to see some basic diseases.You can also go up the mountain to collect herbs.Read a lot, and he is also a person with ideas in his heart.
"Okay, no problem. Guaranteed to complete the task." A stone in Xu Changming's heart fell to the ground.
All the way to the city in silence, Xu Changming deposited the ox cart and went shopping with Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao's goal is that department stores also have department stores, but the grades are not as good.Xiaoxiao has been to a special era, so she is familiar with it.
Going straight to the counter where the cloth is sold, the elder sister who looked at the counter was all smiles, she was a kind person at first glance, Xiaoxiao looked at the cloth on the counter, they were all serge cloth and some fine cotton. "Comrade, are there any more muslins, but these on the counter?"
"Also, but you have to wait for a while, and you won't get the goods until later, or you can sell other things first, it takes half an hour for our counter to get the goods, and there are new cloths."
"Thank you, then. I'll come back later." Xiaoxiao walked to the place where the candy was sold, and she wanted to buy two catties of candy, half a pack for the younger generations who were close relatives of both parties, and one and a half packs for the children in the village.
Xiaoxiao cleaned up the bills and bought two catties of candy.There is still a catty and a half of sugar tickets left, I will buy them when I leave, and take them to that barren and inhabited place, otherwise it will be difficult to go out and buy things.
"Xu Changming, is your place far from the county seat?"
"It's far away, there is no road in some places, we have to open a way out." Xu Changming was embarrassed to say it, and asked Xiaoxiao to follow him to such a difficult place.
"Then let's buy two hot water bottles, which can be used during the time at home, and it will be much more convenient when we get to that place."
"Okay, you can figure it out."
"Then I decided to buy it."
Xiaoxiao went straight up to the second floor and bought two hot water bottles and a few towels. These tickets were saved by Xu Changming who hadn’t used them in the front line for the past three years. Save it for later.
I also bought two large enamel jars, which can be used for drinking tea and serving as bowls for eating.It is more convenient, and the contents inside can be heated with fire in the wild.
I also bought some odds and ends to use at home.
When he finally left the department store, Xu Changming's hands were full of things, and Xiaoxiao also lifted a lot.
Xiaoxiaodui bought several big meat buns at a state-run restaurant, took one for herself, and gave Xu Changming three.
At this time, there is no cafeteria yet, but it will be done soon.
Xiaoxiao also took the opportunity to buy new pots and pans.The set at home is estimated to be handed over in a few days, and these are just for my own use.
"Xiaoxiao, why do you still buy these when you have them at home?"
"You can't tell me when you go back, lest grandma scold me for being a prodigal or grandma wants me. I'm going to take it to the place you said. I want a set at home, or should I buy it temporarily when I come back later? You now If you don’t have a coupon, when will you buy it?” Xiaoxiao would not tell the truth, she is a real person, if she did, he might be jealous of herself.
Xu Changming nodded, yes, this is my hometown, and I have to come back in the future.Can't have these things at home.The place where I stay also lacks these, so if I can bring it here this time, I can bring it there, or I can buy it there.It may not be possible to buy all of them.
Back home, Xiaoxiao put away all the new pots and pans so that no one could see them, even hiding them on the road.
"Xiaoxiao, you said we got the certificate today, shouldn't we celebrate it?" Xu Changming asked the family leader for instructions.
"Well, how about we have a full meal of dumplings and celebrate alone?"
"Okay. I'll make the noodles, and you chop the meat." Xiaoxiao made a late trip to the city and bought some meat.
"Okay, but we won't invite your sister and the others. We don't have enough flour at home, so it will be embarrassing."
"No, just the two of us." Although Xu Changming spent a lot of time with Xiaoxiao in the past few days, the two of them basically had no chance to be alone. Today, they happened to be alone, and Xu Changming was still full of joy.
Men are different from women. Even if they don't like their wives very much, but if they don't hate them, they all hope to have a chance to be alone, so that they can be a little.... When he came back, he saw Xiaoxiao and began to look forward to it.
Xiaoxiao looks good, although she is not a great beauty, but she has thick eyebrows and big eyes, her facial features are majestic, and she wears two big black braids. Her body is full of youthful breath, which is very attractive to this person whom she has not seen for several years. Ladies' men.
At this time, the sows are stuffed with Diaochan, let alone a pretty unmarried woman, young and pretty.
Xiaoxiao handed the flour to Xu Changming, he glanced at it and said, "Is it enough?"
"Enough, I don't eat much." Xiaoxiao said that she ate less because she had the delicacies from Weilan as a subsidy at night. She knew that their soldiers had a lot of food, and it was not easy for her to take out too much. The flour can only be so dry.
Xu Changming took the flour and started kneading it. Even if he had been away from home for ten years, he would still be able to do these skills. When he was in the army, he also helped to do these during the Chinese New Year, so he is still very proficient.
Xiaoxiao was chopping meat and vegetables, most of them were vegetables, and only a little meat was put in.Might be able to taste some meat.
The crackling sound of chopping in the kitchen can be heard in the yard. Fortunately, the neighbors around live a little distance away, otherwise you can definitely hear what Xiaoxiao's family is chopping.
After eating, Xu Changming consciously went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.Xiaoxiao tidied up some odds and ends bought today in the room.After tidying up the same thing, Xu Changming walked behind Xiaoxiao, hugged Xiaoxiao, and lowered his head.Xiaoxiao was warmed by his hot embrace, but it was the first time that they hugged each other so intimately at this time, Xiaoxiao would not spoil the scenery.She twisted a few times, blushed, and said in a low voice, "Xu Changming, let go, don't be seen by others, it's not good."
"Xiaoxiao, we are already a legal couple, not unmarried, and I don't want to do anything, I just want to hug you. I miss you."
After speaking, Xu Changming turned his body and stood face to face with Xiaoxiao.He lowered his head and blocked Xiaoxiao's mouth, which was still about to speak, but all the words in his mouth were blocked by Xu Changming.Xu Changming kissed Xiaoxiao strangely, his skills were really bad, it was a bit like gnawing, Xiaoxiao couldn't show that he would, so he could only cry bitterly and let him gnaw.
My heart is depressed, why is it so painful for my sister to kiss.But Xiaoxiao just guided him a little in a subtle way, this man is really a natural self-teacher, he quickly mastered the trick, and quickly learned how to use it, Xiaoxiao was dizzy without a kiss, and it was difficult to vent his breath.And she responded. She didn't feel shy, but with her current status, she still had to be shy. She clenched her hands into fists and lightly punched Xu Changming on the back.
It was neither painful nor itchy, Xu Changming didn't care at all, on the contrary he was happy.
It took Xu Changming a long time before he kissed and left Xiaoxiao's lips. He was not without regrets in his heart. He had to stop in time for this beautiful feeling.Xiaoxiao moved uncomfortably.Xu Changming was a little embarrassed.
However, he still hugged Xiaoxiao, kissed Xiaoxiao's earlobe, and murmured in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao, I will love you well in the future. I can't help it anymore. I really hope that now is the day of marriage."
He held Xiaoxiao's hand and placed it on his chest, feeling his beating heart.
Xiaoxiao turned around slightly viciously, and then pulled her fingers away. Just like that, Xu Changming's eyes darkened again. He hugged Xiaoxiao tightly again, and started to light the fire again, "Xiaoxiao, it was you who started the fire." Ignition, I really miss you."
Soft lips gently touched her forehead, her nose, her face, and finally landed on her lips.Tentative light touch, gentle caress, tossing and lingering, gentle sucking, while waiting for her reaction.
Xu Changming's breath was close at hand, and a strange numbness spread in an instant, making her heartstrings vibrate endlessly.The slender arms passed through his waist, and they were tightly clasped together. The senses were filled with happiness, and her vermilion lips were slightly parted, and she responded greenly.
Xiaoxiao's response made Xu Changming even more unwilling to let go.It's a wonderful feeling.
Under Xiaoxiao's urging, Xu Changming reluctantly left Xiaoxiao's house.Thinking that the day after tomorrow is the wedding, I can bear it.
On the day of the wedding, everyone in the village came to watch the excitement. The wedding was moved directly at Xiaoxiao's house, and there was no need to pick up the bride and groom.
There was no banquet, but some candies were given out.Then there was a meal for my relatives at home.The wedding is very simple, but Xiaoxiao is happier, and she is less tossed.
More than ten days after the wedding, I heard that a public canteen will be started, with teams as the unit, but it has not yet reached the bottom, no matter what it is, it will be done step by step.
After Xiaoxiao knew about it, she started to leave in a hurry and prepare things.
"Changming, how many days before we go to Black Dragon Pool?"
"Why, can we stay at home for a few more days?"
"Don't you still have comrades-in-arms who want to go home? Let's go early, I think I have extra time, build a shack for myself over there, and have my own house, so I can feel at ease. Otherwise, I feel bad."
"That's fine. I'm the first batch to come back. I'll go back with another instructor. He got married earlier than me. He happened to go back to visit his relatives and take over his wife and children. We can also let him help and help set up shack."
"That's right. We'll leave in three days. If only we had a cow. Let us go."
"You are so whimsical. You can't do it even if you have cattle. It's too far away. It's more than a thousand miles away."
"Forget it, don't think so much."
In the next few days, Xiaoxiao and Xu Changming were either going to leave or bid farewell to their relatives at home.
"Xiaoxiao, life is hard there, so take what you can at home?"
"Sister, I think the same way. Although Changming and the others are eating together, they still need some pots and pans occasionally. I still need to have these at home. Although the ones at home are a bit old, I plan to take them with me. That place is very desolate, the early stage is difficult, and it is not easy to buy things, and when the construction is completed, you can take the children there to play."
"Okay, got it. You and Changming have to take care of yourselves, you know?"
"Understood, I also brought a lot of medicine, some bought from the hospital, some picked by myself on the mountain, new quilts and some odds and ends."
"Xiaoxiao, you should also bring your family's food, remember." It was the aunt next door who spoke.I watched Xiaoxiao grow up since I was a child, and I was good to Xiaoxiao. After Xiaoxiao's parents passed away, they took care of Xiaoxiao a lot.
"Aunt Yun, remember. You must bring food. There is nothing in a new place. If you don't bring it there, what will you eat?"
There are quite a few people sitting in the yard of Xiaoxiao's house. Yesterday Xiaoxiao told her grandparents about some of the family affairs, saying that her work points for the past few months let them go to collect food, which is considered a filial piety to her granddaughter.Xu Changming's sister also took care of the house at home. As for the reason, both Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen understood.
There are also uncles and uncles at home, so no one can take care of them, lest there will be opinions. Xiaoxiao is also afraid of being forcibly taken away. She has her household registration and house, and she will come back to live in the future. She doesn't want to worry about the house and herself in the future. Uncle or third uncle's house quarrels.
Uncle Chen and Uncle Chen San didn't say anything about Xiaoxiao's arrangement.This is also good, to save future quarrels.
It was still dark, Xiaoxiao wiped all the old pots and pans at home, put them into a big box, and hid them in the cellar.
All the old quilts and some items that were not taken away were all hidden.The couple each carried a pair of huge baskets with things in them, and walked towards the town with a flashlight.
The only way is to go to the town and take the train to the city.
There are really a lot of things, even Xu Changming finds it difficult to pick things, and Xiaoxiao's things are not light.
"Daughter-in-law, are you tired, why don't you put some more things here." Xu Changming felt sorry for Xiaoxiao carrying such things.
"It's okay, do you have room to put it? I can pick it up. Don't worry, it's only a long way. It'll be fine when you get to the station, and you'll be fine when you get on the train."
The "Kangdang Bangdang Bangdang" train brought Xiaoxiao to the place where she would live for decades in the future.
I got off at a small station, which was the nearest stop to Heilongtan, and there was still more than 100 miles to Heilongtan from here. When the couple got off the bus, they saw heavy rain.Can't see the person on the other side.
I rushed to the eaves of the small station to shelter from the rain with my things.
Looking at the sky, Xiaoxiao knew at a glance that she could stop in a while.
Not long after the rain stopped, a carriage drove up not far away. The driver was wearing a 55-style military uniform. Xu Changming recognized Wu Liuqi, the commander of the second company, at a glance. The distance between the two companies was not very far. He rushed over and waved vigorously.Wu Liuqi also saw Xu Changming waving at him, "Old Xu, you're back from visiting relatives, and the time hasn't come yet."
"Isn't that right, my wife said, I'm a cadre, so I should set an example and come back early. I don't have anything to do at home, so I come back early. The infrastructure in this company hasn't been built yet, so why don't you come back to work earlier?" Xu Changming He even put gold on Xiaoxiao's face in front of his comrades, Xiaoxiao heard it even if he was far away.It is said that these old men can't speak clearly.
"Sister-in-law's ideological awareness is not bad."
"That's right." Xu Changming's face was full of pride, and he didn't tell all the lies. Xiaoxiao also said it before, and he also meant to come back earlier.
"Come on, help you move your things up, let's hurry while it's still early."
"Daughter-in-law, let me introduce you. This is Wu Liuqi, the company commander of the Second Company of our Corps. Old Wu is my daughter-in-law, Chen Xiaoxiao."
"Hello, Company Commander Wu."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
After exchanging pleasantries, they just moved things and moved them to the carriage together. Xiaoxiao sat in the back and blocked the things.
Xu Changming and Wu Liuqi sat in front, chatting while driving the car, about recent events and new policies of the Corps, and how to increase productivity.
Xiaoxiao hugged the basket of quilts and fell asleep all the time, the feeling of the bumpy carriage was very uncomfortable.The road is rough.
By the time of the first company, it was already night time, "The company commander is back!"
It was the first one to find out, and the people behind all got up. Xiaoxiao looked all the way, and only then did she realize how desolate this place is.
After a while, everyone in the whole company got up, surrounded her, and called Xiaoxiao, "Hello sister-in-law (hello brother and sister)."
It was the first time for Xiaoxiao to see such enthusiastic people, all of whom were enthusiastic from the heart.
Company Commander Wu wanted to rush back to deliver things. Xiaoxiao dug out in the luggage for a long time and took out a piece of bacon weighing three catties. , with a few bucks left. "Lieutenant Wu, thank you for sending us all the way back. Without you, we would still be on the road now? This piece of bacon was brought from home. You bring it home and fry some wild vegetables for the soldiers to eat. It tastes good. When I made it I put a lot of aniseed ingredients to marinate together.”
Wu Liuqi was embarrassed to pick it up, this is not something else small, this piece of bacon looks good at first glance, the smoked oil is shiny, and there is light shining through it.
"Sister-in-law, there's no need. If we want to eat meat, we can shoot it outside." But guns are not allowed, because the bullets are so expensive.They can't be used casually, although they still have guns, and they can't hunt casually.Xiaoxiao also knew that their life must be bad.
"Take it, Company Commander Wu really doesn't want it, so he finds a place to throw it away? Anyway, I don't take the things I send out for recycling."
"This this……."
"Old Wu, are you a man? Why do you work so hard? If my wife asks you to accept it, you will accept it. There is still a long way to go, so go back quickly."
"That's fine, thank you sister-in-law, I'll go first." Company Commander Wu didn't want it, if it was the bacon he made himself, he would dare to snatch it, but it was brought by someone's family, so why would he want it.Otherwise, Xu Changming wouldn't have said that he was a jerk.
After seeing off Company Commander Wu, everyone in the company surrounded Xu Changming and his wife.
Until the instructor Zhang Jie started to chase people away, knowing that some family members would come, the soldiers had already taken the time to build some houses for those who got married. They were all relatively simple houses, and the mud brick houses were covered with thatch .Xiaoxiao's house and the instructor's house are next to each other. Xiaoxiao lives in the first courtyard. The big guy has only built a dozen or so houses. The instructor is more careful and leaves some land behind each house. For the vegetable garden, the fence in front needs to be erected by the family members or the host who lives here.
The kang was also simply built. Xiaoxiao spent the first night in the new house and slept casually for the whole night. She didn't care about hygiene or anything else.
When I opened my eyes at dawn, the place where I slept next to him was cold. Xu Changming brought water for his family early in the morning, and then went to the company.
There is also a breakfast on the side, big ballast porridge and a little pickle, all made of wild vegetables.
After getting up, now the house is cleaned, and some things brought home are taken out and put away.There is no cabinet, Xiaoxiao still puts many things in the basket.There is an earthen stove outside, which is connected to the kang.
It would be good to put a layer of brown mats on the kang, but there is no one here, so Xiaoxiao had to take out the newspapers she brought at home, all of which she collected from the waste station, and brought the ones to paste the walls, and paste the kang first.
Clean up at home without going out for a day.
company
"Old Zhang, how is the situation in the company these days?" Xu Changming took out a pack of good cigarettes and handed them to Zhang Jie, which he brought specially for Zhang Jie.
"Daqianmen, yes, remember to bring me a packet of Xiyan, how about it. Sister-in-law treats you well!"
"Of course my daughter-in-law is very kind to me, she doesn't care who I am."
"Blow, you just blow."
"Shall we talk about the situation in the company?"
"Okay, the ones that were planted in the wilderness that were opened up before have a good growth rate. They will definitely have a good harvest."
"That's good, I'm worried at home too."
"..."
There are still three platoons in a row, and everyone is competing, fighting hard for PK.
See which row has more wasteland and which row has more grain.
After a few months, this place is much better than when I came here before, and it looks a bit better, but in Xiaoxiao's eyes, it is still barren.
"Changming, now you send a few pieces of bacon at home to the canteen of the company, and you can keep a piece at home. In a few days, you will have a treat at home and invite people here to eat. Tell me how many people there are. I will prepare it well."
"Is there enough food for our family to feed so many daughters-in-law?"
"Enough, enough for the soldiers to eat. In a few days, I will go out in a carriage and find someone to exchange for some food. I know that there are a lot of pheasants and hares here. I will make some for these few days, and then I will exchange some. Come back, our house was built by these soldiers who stayed in the company headquarters, so I can’t cook a meal, thank you everyone.”
Xiaoxiao knows that there are only about a hundred people in a company, and no more than 130 people.Half of them went back, and the other half had a maximum of sixty or so people.
Not too much, the main reason is that I have to establish a good relationship with the soldiers first. Treating guests is the first step for Xiaoxiao to integrate here. These are the cutest people.
It is not easy to join the army of agricultural reclamation just after coming off the battlefield.
"Let me do the math, plus the two of us, there should be 64 people." Xu Changming didn't expect his daughter-in-law to be so reasonable, and she took the initiative to treat guests.
Heilongtan gives people the impression that it is a place with few people, wild beasts, swamps, and ice and snow.Here is the most fertile black land in the world, but it has always been one of the most desolate areas in our country.
You must know that there are not many hoes here. I heard from Xu Changming that at the beginning, weeds were all pulled out by hand, and the method of sticking sticks into holes was planted on this wasteland.
There are no cattle or horses, only plows are pulled by people, and there are no farm tools. Everyone hastily went to battle. Many of them were bought in the surrounding area temporarily, but it is impossible to have a farm tool in hand. Some use shovels, some use hoes, and some use wood. Everyone rotates the use of farm tools every day, and now a lot of soybeans have been planted.
This time Xu Changming also brought all the farm tools from Xiaoxiao's family and some old farm tools collected in his hometown, and removed the wooden handles.Xiaoxiao also bought a new set.
These are the essentials for surviving here. Xiaoxiao probably knows what's going on here, but she is better prepared than most people.But after Xiaoxiao came here, the second batch of people who went back knew what to bring.
On the third day, Xiaoxiao started to open up wasteland in the vegetable garden behind the house. As soon as she opened a ridge, she planted some cabbage first. In this kind of place, it is especially necessary to supplement green vegetables. In winter, there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere. You will be blinded by adaptation, that is, everything you see at night in winter is a vast expanse of white.Hunt in the afternoon and save extra for the winter.
Xiaoxiao has not joined the land reclamation for the time being, she is the only woman in the company, and the family has not been organized yet.
Xiaoxiao is busier than the land reclamation people every day.
"Sister-in-law, there is a car going into the city tomorrow, do you want to go?"
"Go, why don't you go, what time do you get up?" Xiaoxiao asked when the carriage would enter the city the next day.
"Leaving at three o'clock in the morning, it won't be too late to come back."
"Okay, I see, thank you."
"You're welcome, I'm leaving first."
Xiaoxiao is going to the county town to buy cabinets and tables, as well as some things that are still missing at home.There are so many things missing at home.
At two o'clock in the morning, Xiaoxiao got up and started tinkering, heated up some food in the pot, and brought a few wild vegetable buns, still with her family's basket.
"Sister-in-law, I thought I was going to call you." The driver of the carriage was Zou Yong, a young man who was injured on the battlefield. His left arm could not use much strength, so he was able to drive the carriage. of two horses.It was only after coming here for a long time that a company was paired with two horses for transportation.It's just that I seldom go to the ground, because I'm afraid that the horse will be tired.It will be difficult to transport things in the future.
"Take a hitchhiker, let me ask you to call Na Neng." There is also a shy young man in the car, Xiaowen, the company's clerk.
The county seat is also worse than the county seat of Xiaoxiao's hometown, but there are still some basic daily necessities that should be there.
They were out on errands and made an appointment to wait at the livestock market in the city, where they could spend some money to feed the horses.You can also wait for someone, and everyone usually gathers here to wait for someone.
Most are one-story bungalows, but there are a few two-story buildings in the center of the county.
Xiaoxiao was the first to go to some places that sold salt and ginger vinegar, and bought some vegetables. When she saw a store with oil and wax, Xiaoxiao went in curiously to have a look. There were few things, but there were more cured goods.I also paid special attention to the price of cured goods.
Go to the key place of this visit to the county, the waste collection station.The doorkeeper was an old couple, "Auntie, Uncle, you have cabinets and tables in the purchasing station, and there are chairs."
"Girl, this one is available, but some of them are broken, and there are not many that can be used. You have to find it yourself."
"Okay, thank you uncle and aunt, I'll go and look for it first."
When the warehouse of the purchase station was opened, there was a musty smell, which was very choking.As soon as I entered, I sneezed several times.
Holding back the discomfort, I rummaged through the rooms inside, and when I found a good one, I moved it out and put it outside.Xiaoxiao found some nice chairs, Xiaoxiao also found an Eight Immortals table, and two kang cabinets. Originally, she only planned to buy one, but they looked good, so she just took them back.It may not be a good buy in the future.They're all flawed, but it's good to go back and fix them yourself.
Borrowing the trolley from the buying station to transport the things to the livestock market, and sending them back to the trolley is the end of the process. Xiaowen and the others hadn’t come yet, so Xiaoxiao kept the things with someone else, so she went shopping and saw a chicken seller. Xiaoxiao bought more than a dozen chicks and fed them by herself, which can improve her life.
When the carriage returned to Yilian, it was time to make dinner.Xu Changming has already started cooking, "My daughter-in-law is back, did I buy something."
Hearing the sound, Xu Changming didn't even look back. He didn't know how to cook, so he had to watch it by himself for the first time, and he couldn't make any mistakes, otherwise it would be a waste of food.
"You came to help, bought a table, cabinets and chairs, and more than a dozen chickens."
"There are so many." Xu Changming quickly turned around to help, regardless of the wild vegetables in the pot.
"Commander, let's go first."
"What are you going to do? Let's have dinner here." Xiaoxiao asked them to eat.
"No, another day." Zou Yong and Xiaowen ran fast in the carriage, what a joke, the company commander finally got married, and now it's time to adjust the oil with his sister-in-law, I don't dare to disturb it easily, the company commander still Don't give them the flying eye knife.A meal is estimated to be difficult to swallow.Being the company commander's light bulb, I don't want to live anymore.
Xiaoxiao glanced at Xu Changming, then went in with a smile, "Changming, you clean the table and cabinets, and I will cook."
"As you order, daughter-in-law."
Xu Changming now completes 100% of Xiaoxiao's orders, of course, without affecting his work.
The author has something to say: Thank you babies for your continuous support. Today, during the Laba Festival, some babies asked for more updates in the group. Today, three chapters will be combined into one.Thank you for your support, babes!
The wedding room was not set up in Xu Cuiping's house, but in Xiaoxiao's house, where she lived.Xu Changming is an open-minded person, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with setting up the wedding room in Xiaoxiao's house.You must know that Xiaoxiao's home will also be his home in the future.Since the wedding room was set up in my sister's house for only two or three days, it would be better to set it up in Xiaoxiao's room from the beginning, saving the trouble of decorating it in my sister's house.
As for what Grandpa Chen said, in the future, let a child be named Chen to inherit the incense here, and he also agreed, no matter what the surname is, he will be his child.
"Xiaoxiao, are you ready?" Xu Changming drove the ox cart to Xiaoxiao's house to pick her up and go to the town to get a marriage certificate.The photo was taken a few days ago, and I went to get the photo early today to get the marriage certificate.
"Okay. Let's go." Xiaoxiao held a blue plain cloth bag in her hand.
After a few days of getting along, Xu Changming found that Xiaoxiao was not that kind of shy girl, she had a good personality, magnanimity, and a kind heart.
He paid more attention to Xiaoxiao than when he was in the army.In the past few days, I have helped to do things together, and even helped to go to work together.
Xiaoxiao got on the bullock cart and sat on the other side, far away from Xu Changming.
I haven't received my marriage certificate yet, so let's be more reserved.Xiaoxiao took out a multigrain steamed stuffed bun from the bag, it was big.Handed it to Xu Changming who was driving ahead, "Didn't you have breakfast?"
"Hey, I really haven't eaten." Xu Changming knew that what his sister said was right, and Xiaoxiao was capable.This steamed bun is really delicious.He then took a bite of the steamed bun, it was so soft. "tasty."
"That's for sure." Xiaoxiao is not modest, since she wants to live together, she still has to show him a few brushes, so as not to underestimate others.
But Xiaoxiao also thinks very clearly that no matter what time and space, men's inferiority cannot be ignored, and she can't be too delicate. Xu Changming doesn't seem to be someone who likes delicate women.You can't be like a female man, let a man find no sense of presence in the family, and make a man feel like I'm an uncle again and again.It is not advisable to tire yourself into an old scalper in the end.
Xiaoxiao adheres to one principle, she still has to act like a baby occasionally, she also needs to be able to do things, and she needs to be able to survive independently.Thinking about it makes me tired and panic, being a woman is really not easy.
Xu Changming told Xiaoxiao about his time in the army when he had nothing to do. Finally, Xu Changming parked the carriage aside and looked at Xiaoxiao with courage. The atmosphere was good, and he wanted to just say it. "Xiaoxiao, let me tell you one thing. Don't be angry, and don't get angry. If you don't want to, we don't need to get this marriage certificate or you can live in your hometown and don't go with me. I don't blame you .”
"It's not that you have violated the principle! If that's the case, I won't..." Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Changming vigilantly.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I will never do anything to be sorry for you. I just, just, just, oops, let me tell you clearly, I changed my job to a different place, not an ordinary place, it's a barren and inhabited place to farm, This is just the beginning now. There are desolate places everywhere. There are not many people inhabited after walking for a long time, and the conditions are difficult. The chief asked us to take our family members. If you don’t want to go, you can stay in your hometown and watch it in a year or two. I'll do it once, and I'll come back to see you when I'm free."
Xu Changming's bright eyes looked at Xiaoxiao with anticipation, Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat, and it didn't take long for her to understand that Xu Changming was catching up with this matter, and also lived in shacks everywhere, with weeds and woods everywhere .
She sighed deeply for herself, and the twist of fate made herself want to cry.She took a deep breath, she was already standing on the edge, and she had no way out, so she could only move forward without hesitation.
"Xu Changming, do you want to take me with you this time?"
"Well, that's my plan. If you don't want to go, you don't have to. The leader doesn't ask me to bring my wife."
"Then are you the leader?" Leaders generally take the lead, so ask yourself.
"I'm a company commander, but I'm fine."
"Forget it, I'll go with you. Since I'm about to get married, I have nothing to say." Xiaoxiao herself felt helpless when she heard it.
"Xiaoxiao, don't force it." Xu Changming knew that Xiaoxiao had no choice but to agree.
"Stop talking, drive the car." Xiaoxiao waved her hand, she really felt a little uncomfortable, she is not one of those women who don't know anything, but she knows how hard it is to open up wasteland in the early stage.It is Xiaoxiao's principle to not be punished if you can not be punished.
But Xiaoxiao is not one of those messy people, even if Xu Changming said in advance, she still wants to go.Now is also good, I can prepare in advance.
They were silent all the way, and the two of them felt better when they arrived at the photo studio, with smiles on their faces.After getting the photo, I went through my own procedures, and with the blessing of the staff, I got the marriage certificate.And there are sugar tickets and the like. Every couple who gets married has these tickets as long as they get a certificate.
"Daughter-in-law, we have obtained the certificate. From today on, you will be my wife." Xu Changming smiled happily. He knew that Xiaoxiao agreed to go there with him, and he was very grateful.
"Smell, getting the certificate doesn't count, we haven't treated yet?"
"There's no rush, we'll set up wine in just two days." Xu Changming is now more eager than ever to have a home of his own.
"Then wait until the wedding day?"
"Xiaoxiao, we were in a hurry to take pictures last time. Let's go shopping in the city today? I'll buy you new clothes. Let's get married and buy other things. What do you want to buy? Don't worry about money I have saved a lot these years, especially in the past three years I have been on the front line. I didn’t spend my salary and I still have some bills, all for three years, but I sent some money to the homes of the comrades who died. But I still There are quite a few left."
"Okay, then let's buy some things and take them away at that time. They can be used after we get there. Just put some commonly used things at home."
"You are the head of the house, and I will listen to you. I will give you all the remaining money when I go back, and some are on the deposit certificate."
"Okay, I will manage the family's money from now on, and you will be responsible for earning money. I promise to take care of the logistics." The original owner's parents loved her very much because the marriage they made for the daughter was not bad, and they were only an only child.Let the original owner study until the second year of high school. If the original owner's mother was not in poor health and no one did the housework at home, the original owner would definitely continue to study.But even this is much better than many rural girls.
The original owner also learned Chinese medicine from her father, and she would be able to see some basic diseases.You can also go up the mountain to collect herbs.Read a lot, and he is also a person with ideas in his heart.
"Okay, no problem. Guaranteed to complete the task." A stone in Xu Changming's heart fell to the ground.
All the way to the city in silence, Xu Changming deposited the ox cart and went shopping with Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao's goal is that department stores also have department stores, but the grades are not as good.Xiaoxiao has been to a special era, so she is familiar with it.
Going straight to the counter where the cloth is sold, the elder sister who looked at the counter was all smiles, she was a kind person at first glance, Xiaoxiao looked at the cloth on the counter, they were all serge cloth and some fine cotton. "Comrade, are there any more muslins, but these on the counter?"
"Also, but you have to wait for a while, and you won't get the goods until later, or you can sell other things first, it takes half an hour for our counter to get the goods, and there are new cloths."
"Thank you, then. I'll come back later." Xiaoxiao walked to the place where the candy was sold, and she wanted to buy two catties of candy, half a pack for the younger generations who were close relatives of both parties, and one and a half packs for the children in the village.
Xiaoxiao cleaned up the bills and bought two catties of candy.There is still a catty and a half of sugar tickets left, I will buy them when I leave, and take them to that barren and inhabited place, otherwise it will be difficult to go out and buy things.
"Xu Changming, is your place far from the county seat?"
"It's far away, there is no road in some places, we have to open a way out." Xu Changming was embarrassed to say it, and asked Xiaoxiao to follow him to such a difficult place.
"Then let's buy two hot water bottles, which can be used during the time at home, and it will be much more convenient when we get to that place."
"Okay, you can figure it out."
"Then I decided to buy it."
Xiaoxiao went straight up to the second floor and bought two hot water bottles and a few towels. These tickets were saved by Xu Changming who hadn’t used them in the front line for the past three years. Save it for later.
I also bought two large enamel jars, which can be used for drinking tea and serving as bowls for eating.It is more convenient, and the contents inside can be heated with fire in the wild.
I also bought some odds and ends to use at home.
When he finally left the department store, Xu Changming's hands were full of things, and Xiaoxiao also lifted a lot.
Xiaoxiaodui bought several big meat buns at a state-run restaurant, took one for herself, and gave Xu Changming three.
At this time, there is no cafeteria yet, but it will be done soon.
Xiaoxiao also took the opportunity to buy new pots and pans.The set at home is estimated to be handed over in a few days, and these are just for my own use.
"Xiaoxiao, why do you still buy these when you have them at home?"
"You can't tell me when you go back, lest grandma scold me for being a prodigal or grandma wants me. I'm going to take it to the place you said. I want a set at home, or should I buy it temporarily when I come back later? You now If you don’t have a coupon, when will you buy it?” Xiaoxiao would not tell the truth, she is a real person, if she did, he might be jealous of herself.
Xu Changming nodded, yes, this is my hometown, and I have to come back in the future.Can't have these things at home.The place where I stay also lacks these, so if I can bring it here this time, I can bring it there, or I can buy it there.It may not be possible to buy all of them.
Back home, Xiaoxiao put away all the new pots and pans so that no one could see them, even hiding them on the road.
"Xiaoxiao, you said we got the certificate today, shouldn't we celebrate it?" Xu Changming asked the family leader for instructions.
"Well, how about we have a full meal of dumplings and celebrate alone?"
"Okay. I'll make the noodles, and you chop the meat." Xiaoxiao made a late trip to the city and bought some meat.
"Okay, but we won't invite your sister and the others. We don't have enough flour at home, so it will be embarrassing."
"No, just the two of us." Although Xu Changming spent a lot of time with Xiaoxiao in the past few days, the two of them basically had no chance to be alone. Today, they happened to be alone, and Xu Changming was still full of joy.
Men are different from women. Even if they don't like their wives very much, but if they don't hate them, they all hope to have a chance to be alone, so that they can be a little.... When he came back, he saw Xiaoxiao and began to look forward to it.
Xiaoxiao looks good, although she is not a great beauty, but she has thick eyebrows and big eyes, her facial features are majestic, and she wears two big black braids. Her body is full of youthful breath, which is very attractive to this person whom she has not seen for several years. Ladies' men.
At this time, the sows are stuffed with Diaochan, let alone a pretty unmarried woman, young and pretty.
Xiaoxiao handed the flour to Xu Changming, he glanced at it and said, "Is it enough?"
"Enough, I don't eat much." Xiaoxiao said that she ate less because she had the delicacies from Weilan as a subsidy at night. She knew that their soldiers had a lot of food, and it was not easy for her to take out too much. The flour can only be so dry.
Xu Changming took the flour and started kneading it. Even if he had been away from home for ten years, he would still be able to do these skills. When he was in the army, he also helped to do these during the Chinese New Year, so he is still very proficient.
Xiaoxiao was chopping meat and vegetables, most of them were vegetables, and only a little meat was put in.Might be able to taste some meat.
The crackling sound of chopping in the kitchen can be heard in the yard. Fortunately, the neighbors around live a little distance away, otherwise you can definitely hear what Xiaoxiao's family is chopping.
After eating, Xu Changming consciously went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.Xiaoxiao tidied up some odds and ends bought today in the room.After tidying up the same thing, Xu Changming walked behind Xiaoxiao, hugged Xiaoxiao, and lowered his head.Xiaoxiao was warmed by his hot embrace, but it was the first time that they hugged each other so intimately at this time, Xiaoxiao would not spoil the scenery.She twisted a few times, blushed, and said in a low voice, "Xu Changming, let go, don't be seen by others, it's not good."
"Xiaoxiao, we are already a legal couple, not unmarried, and I don't want to do anything, I just want to hug you. I miss you."
After speaking, Xu Changming turned his body and stood face to face with Xiaoxiao.He lowered his head and blocked Xiaoxiao's mouth, which was still about to speak, but all the words in his mouth were blocked by Xu Changming.Xu Changming kissed Xiaoxiao strangely, his skills were really bad, it was a bit like gnawing, Xiaoxiao couldn't show that he would, so he could only cry bitterly and let him gnaw.
My heart is depressed, why is it so painful for my sister to kiss.But Xiaoxiao just guided him a little in a subtle way, this man is really a natural self-teacher, he quickly mastered the trick, and quickly learned how to use it, Xiaoxiao was dizzy without a kiss, and it was difficult to vent his breath.And she responded. She didn't feel shy, but with her current status, she still had to be shy. She clenched her hands into fists and lightly punched Xu Changming on the back.
It was neither painful nor itchy, Xu Changming didn't care at all, on the contrary he was happy.
It took Xu Changming a long time before he kissed and left Xiaoxiao's lips. He was not without regrets in his heart. He had to stop in time for this beautiful feeling.Xiaoxiao moved uncomfortably.Xu Changming was a little embarrassed.
However, he still hugged Xiaoxiao, kissed Xiaoxiao's earlobe, and murmured in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao, I will love you well in the future. I can't help it anymore. I really hope that now is the day of marriage."
He held Xiaoxiao's hand and placed it on his chest, feeling his beating heart.
Xiaoxiao turned around slightly viciously, and then pulled her fingers away. Just like that, Xu Changming's eyes darkened again. He hugged Xiaoxiao tightly again, and started to light the fire again, "Xiaoxiao, it was you who started the fire." Ignition, I really miss you."
Soft lips gently touched her forehead, her nose, her face, and finally landed on her lips.Tentative light touch, gentle caress, tossing and lingering, gentle sucking, while waiting for her reaction.
Xu Changming's breath was close at hand, and a strange numbness spread in an instant, making her heartstrings vibrate endlessly.The slender arms passed through his waist, and they were tightly clasped together. The senses were filled with happiness, and her vermilion lips were slightly parted, and she responded greenly.
Xiaoxiao's response made Xu Changming even more unwilling to let go.It's a wonderful feeling.
Under Xiaoxiao's urging, Xu Changming reluctantly left Xiaoxiao's house.Thinking that the day after tomorrow is the wedding, I can bear it.
On the day of the wedding, everyone in the village came to watch the excitement. The wedding was moved directly at Xiaoxiao's house, and there was no need to pick up the bride and groom.
There was no banquet, but some candies were given out.Then there was a meal for my relatives at home.The wedding is very simple, but Xiaoxiao is happier, and she is less tossed.
More than ten days after the wedding, I heard that a public canteen will be started, with teams as the unit, but it has not yet reached the bottom, no matter what it is, it will be done step by step.
After Xiaoxiao knew about it, she started to leave in a hurry and prepare things.
"Changming, how many days before we go to Black Dragon Pool?"
"Why, can we stay at home for a few more days?"
"Don't you still have comrades-in-arms who want to go home? Let's go early, I think I have extra time, build a shack for myself over there, and have my own house, so I can feel at ease. Otherwise, I feel bad."
"That's fine. I'm the first batch to come back. I'll go back with another instructor. He got married earlier than me. He happened to go back to visit his relatives and take over his wife and children. We can also let him help and help set up shack."
"That's right. We'll leave in three days. If only we had a cow. Let us go."
"You are so whimsical. You can't do it even if you have cattle. It's too far away. It's more than a thousand miles away."
"Forget it, don't think so much."
In the next few days, Xiaoxiao and Xu Changming were either going to leave or bid farewell to their relatives at home.
"Xiaoxiao, life is hard there, so take what you can at home?"
"Sister, I think the same way. Although Changming and the others are eating together, they still need some pots and pans occasionally. I still need to have these at home. Although the ones at home are a bit old, I plan to take them with me. That place is very desolate, the early stage is difficult, and it is not easy to buy things, and when the construction is completed, you can take the children there to play."
"Okay, got it. You and Changming have to take care of yourselves, you know?"
"Understood, I also brought a lot of medicine, some bought from the hospital, some picked by myself on the mountain, new quilts and some odds and ends."
"Xiaoxiao, you should also bring your family's food, remember." It was the aunt next door who spoke.I watched Xiaoxiao grow up since I was a child, and I was good to Xiaoxiao. After Xiaoxiao's parents passed away, they took care of Xiaoxiao a lot.
"Aunt Yun, remember. You must bring food. There is nothing in a new place. If you don't bring it there, what will you eat?"
There are quite a few people sitting in the yard of Xiaoxiao's house. Yesterday Xiaoxiao told her grandparents about some of the family affairs, saying that her work points for the past few months let them go to collect food, which is considered a filial piety to her granddaughter.Xu Changming's sister also took care of the house at home. As for the reason, both Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen understood.
There are also uncles and uncles at home, so no one can take care of them, lest there will be opinions. Xiaoxiao is also afraid of being forcibly taken away. She has her household registration and house, and she will come back to live in the future. She doesn't want to worry about the house and herself in the future. Uncle or third uncle's house quarrels.
Uncle Chen and Uncle Chen San didn't say anything about Xiaoxiao's arrangement.This is also good, to save future quarrels.
It was still dark, Xiaoxiao wiped all the old pots and pans at home, put them into a big box, and hid them in the cellar.
All the old quilts and some items that were not taken away were all hidden.The couple each carried a pair of huge baskets with things in them, and walked towards the town with a flashlight.
The only way is to go to the town and take the train to the city.
There are really a lot of things, even Xu Changming finds it difficult to pick things, and Xiaoxiao's things are not light.
"Daughter-in-law, are you tired, why don't you put some more things here." Xu Changming felt sorry for Xiaoxiao carrying such things.
"It's okay, do you have room to put it? I can pick it up. Don't worry, it's only a long way. It'll be fine when you get to the station, and you'll be fine when you get on the train."
The "Kangdang Bangdang Bangdang" train brought Xiaoxiao to the place where she would live for decades in the future.
I got off at a small station, which was the nearest stop to Heilongtan, and there was still more than 100 miles to Heilongtan from here. When the couple got off the bus, they saw heavy rain.Can't see the person on the other side.
I rushed to the eaves of the small station to shelter from the rain with my things.
Looking at the sky, Xiaoxiao knew at a glance that she could stop in a while.
Not long after the rain stopped, a carriage drove up not far away. The driver was wearing a 55-style military uniform. Xu Changming recognized Wu Liuqi, the commander of the second company, at a glance. The distance between the two companies was not very far. He rushed over and waved vigorously.Wu Liuqi also saw Xu Changming waving at him, "Old Xu, you're back from visiting relatives, and the time hasn't come yet."
"Isn't that right, my wife said, I'm a cadre, so I should set an example and come back early. I don't have anything to do at home, so I come back early. The infrastructure in this company hasn't been built yet, so why don't you come back to work earlier?" Xu Changming He even put gold on Xiaoxiao's face in front of his comrades, Xiaoxiao heard it even if he was far away.It is said that these old men can't speak clearly.
"Sister-in-law's ideological awareness is not bad."
"That's right." Xu Changming's face was full of pride, and he didn't tell all the lies. Xiaoxiao also said it before, and he also meant to come back earlier.
"Come on, help you move your things up, let's hurry while it's still early."
"Daughter-in-law, let me introduce you. This is Wu Liuqi, the company commander of the Second Company of our Corps. Old Wu is my daughter-in-law, Chen Xiaoxiao."
"Hello, Company Commander Wu."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
After exchanging pleasantries, they just moved things and moved them to the carriage together. Xiaoxiao sat in the back and blocked the things.
Xu Changming and Wu Liuqi sat in front, chatting while driving the car, about recent events and new policies of the Corps, and how to increase productivity.
Xiaoxiao hugged the basket of quilts and fell asleep all the time, the feeling of the bumpy carriage was very uncomfortable.The road is rough.
By the time of the first company, it was already night time, "The company commander is back!"
It was the first one to find out, and the people behind all got up. Xiaoxiao looked all the way, and only then did she realize how desolate this place is.
After a while, everyone in the whole company got up, surrounded her, and called Xiaoxiao, "Hello sister-in-law (hello brother and sister)."
It was the first time for Xiaoxiao to see such enthusiastic people, all of whom were enthusiastic from the heart.
Company Commander Wu wanted to rush back to deliver things. Xiaoxiao dug out in the luggage for a long time and took out a piece of bacon weighing three catties. , with a few bucks left. "Lieutenant Wu, thank you for sending us all the way back. Without you, we would still be on the road now? This piece of bacon was brought from home. You bring it home and fry some wild vegetables for the soldiers to eat. It tastes good. When I made it I put a lot of aniseed ingredients to marinate together.”
Wu Liuqi was embarrassed to pick it up, this is not something else small, this piece of bacon looks good at first glance, the smoked oil is shiny, and there is light shining through it.
"Sister-in-law, there's no need. If we want to eat meat, we can shoot it outside." But guns are not allowed, because the bullets are so expensive.They can't be used casually, although they still have guns, and they can't hunt casually.Xiaoxiao also knew that their life must be bad.
"Take it, Company Commander Wu really doesn't want it, so he finds a place to throw it away? Anyway, I don't take the things I send out for recycling."
"This this……."
"Old Wu, are you a man? Why do you work so hard? If my wife asks you to accept it, you will accept it. There is still a long way to go, so go back quickly."
"That's fine, thank you sister-in-law, I'll go first." Company Commander Wu didn't want it, if it was the bacon he made himself, he would dare to snatch it, but it was brought by someone's family, so why would he want it.Otherwise, Xu Changming wouldn't have said that he was a jerk.
After seeing off Company Commander Wu, everyone in the company surrounded Xu Changming and his wife.
Until the instructor Zhang Jie started to chase people away, knowing that some family members would come, the soldiers had already taken the time to build some houses for those who got married. They were all relatively simple houses, and the mud brick houses were covered with thatch .Xiaoxiao's house and the instructor's house are next to each other. Xiaoxiao lives in the first courtyard. The big guy has only built a dozen or so houses. The instructor is more careful and leaves some land behind each house. For the vegetable garden, the fence in front needs to be erected by the family members or the host who lives here.
The kang was also simply built. Xiaoxiao spent the first night in the new house and slept casually for the whole night. She didn't care about hygiene or anything else.
When I opened my eyes at dawn, the place where I slept next to him was cold. Xu Changming brought water for his family early in the morning, and then went to the company.
There is also a breakfast on the side, big ballast porridge and a little pickle, all made of wild vegetables.
After getting up, now the house is cleaned, and some things brought home are taken out and put away.There is no cabinet, Xiaoxiao still puts many things in the basket.There is an earthen stove outside, which is connected to the kang.
It would be good to put a layer of brown mats on the kang, but there is no one here, so Xiaoxiao had to take out the newspapers she brought at home, all of which she collected from the waste station, and brought the ones to paste the walls, and paste the kang first.
Clean up at home without going out for a day.
company
"Old Zhang, how is the situation in the company these days?" Xu Changming took out a pack of good cigarettes and handed them to Zhang Jie, which he brought specially for Zhang Jie.
"Daqianmen, yes, remember to bring me a packet of Xiyan, how about it. Sister-in-law treats you well!"
"Of course my daughter-in-law is very kind to me, she doesn't care who I am."
"Blow, you just blow."
"Shall we talk about the situation in the company?"
"Okay, the ones that were planted in the wilderness that were opened up before have a good growth rate. They will definitely have a good harvest."
"That's good, I'm worried at home too."
"..."
There are still three platoons in a row, and everyone is competing, fighting hard for PK.
See which row has more wasteland and which row has more grain.
After a few months, this place is much better than when I came here before, and it looks a bit better, but in Xiaoxiao's eyes, it is still barren.
"Changming, now you send a few pieces of bacon at home to the canteen of the company, and you can keep a piece at home. In a few days, you will have a treat at home and invite people here to eat. Tell me how many people there are. I will prepare it well."
"Is there enough food for our family to feed so many daughters-in-law?"
"Enough, enough for the soldiers to eat. In a few days, I will go out in a carriage and find someone to exchange for some food. I know that there are a lot of pheasants and hares here. I will make some for these few days, and then I will exchange some. Come back, our house was built by these soldiers who stayed in the company headquarters, so I can’t cook a meal, thank you everyone.”
Xiaoxiao knows that there are only about a hundred people in a company, and no more than 130 people.Half of them went back, and the other half had a maximum of sixty or so people.
Not too much, the main reason is that I have to establish a good relationship with the soldiers first. Treating guests is the first step for Xiaoxiao to integrate here. These are the cutest people.
It is not easy to join the army of agricultural reclamation just after coming off the battlefield.
"Let me do the math, plus the two of us, there should be 64 people." Xu Changming didn't expect his daughter-in-law to be so reasonable, and she took the initiative to treat guests.
Heilongtan gives people the impression that it is a place with few people, wild beasts, swamps, and ice and snow.Here is the most fertile black land in the world, but it has always been one of the most desolate areas in our country.
You must know that there are not many hoes here. I heard from Xu Changming that at the beginning, weeds were all pulled out by hand, and the method of sticking sticks into holes was planted on this wasteland.
There are no cattle or horses, only plows are pulled by people, and there are no farm tools. Everyone hastily went to battle. Many of them were bought in the surrounding area temporarily, but it is impossible to have a farm tool in hand. Some use shovels, some use hoes, and some use wood. Everyone rotates the use of farm tools every day, and now a lot of soybeans have been planted.
This time Xu Changming also brought all the farm tools from Xiaoxiao's family and some old farm tools collected in his hometown, and removed the wooden handles.Xiaoxiao also bought a new set.
These are the essentials for surviving here. Xiaoxiao probably knows what's going on here, but she is better prepared than most people.But after Xiaoxiao came here, the second batch of people who went back knew what to bring.
On the third day, Xiaoxiao started to open up wasteland in the vegetable garden behind the house. As soon as she opened a ridge, she planted some cabbage first. In this kind of place, it is especially necessary to supplement green vegetables. In winter, there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere. You will be blinded by adaptation, that is, everything you see at night in winter is a vast expanse of white.Hunt in the afternoon and save extra for the winter.
Xiaoxiao has not joined the land reclamation for the time being, she is the only woman in the company, and the family has not been organized yet.
Xiaoxiao is busier than the land reclamation people every day.
"Sister-in-law, there is a car going into the city tomorrow, do you want to go?"
"Go, why don't you go, what time do you get up?" Xiaoxiao asked when the carriage would enter the city the next day.
"Leaving at three o'clock in the morning, it won't be too late to come back."
"Okay, I see, thank you."
"You're welcome, I'm leaving first."
Xiaoxiao is going to the county town to buy cabinets and tables, as well as some things that are still missing at home.There are so many things missing at home.
At two o'clock in the morning, Xiaoxiao got up and started tinkering, heated up some food in the pot, and brought a few wild vegetable buns, still with her family's basket.
"Sister-in-law, I thought I was going to call you." The driver of the carriage was Zou Yong, a young man who was injured on the battlefield. His left arm could not use much strength, so he was able to drive the carriage. of two horses.It was only after coming here for a long time that a company was paired with two horses for transportation.It's just that I seldom go to the ground, because I'm afraid that the horse will be tired.It will be difficult to transport things in the future.
"Take a hitchhiker, let me ask you to call Na Neng." There is also a shy young man in the car, Xiaowen, the company's clerk.
The county seat is also worse than the county seat of Xiaoxiao's hometown, but there are still some basic daily necessities that should be there.
They were out on errands and made an appointment to wait at the livestock market in the city, where they could spend some money to feed the horses.You can also wait for someone, and everyone usually gathers here to wait for someone.
Most are one-story bungalows, but there are a few two-story buildings in the center of the county.
Xiaoxiao was the first to go to some places that sold salt and ginger vinegar, and bought some vegetables. When she saw a store with oil and wax, Xiaoxiao went in curiously to have a look. There were few things, but there were more cured goods.I also paid special attention to the price of cured goods.
Go to the key place of this visit to the county, the waste collection station.The doorkeeper was an old couple, "Auntie, Uncle, you have cabinets and tables in the purchasing station, and there are chairs."
"Girl, this one is available, but some of them are broken, and there are not many that can be used. You have to find it yourself."
"Okay, thank you uncle and aunt, I'll go and look for it first."
When the warehouse of the purchase station was opened, there was a musty smell, which was very choking.As soon as I entered, I sneezed several times.
Holding back the discomfort, I rummaged through the rooms inside, and when I found a good one, I moved it out and put it outside.Xiaoxiao found some nice chairs, Xiaoxiao also found an Eight Immortals table, and two kang cabinets. Originally, she only planned to buy one, but they looked good, so she just took them back.It may not be a good buy in the future.They're all flawed, but it's good to go back and fix them yourself.
Borrowing the trolley from the buying station to transport the things to the livestock market, and sending them back to the trolley is the end of the process. Xiaowen and the others hadn’t come yet, so Xiaoxiao kept the things with someone else, so she went shopping and saw a chicken seller. Xiaoxiao bought more than a dozen chicks and fed them by herself, which can improve her life.
When the carriage returned to Yilian, it was time to make dinner.Xu Changming has already started cooking, "My daughter-in-law is back, did I buy something."
Hearing the sound, Xu Changming didn't even look back. He didn't know how to cook, so he had to watch it by himself for the first time, and he couldn't make any mistakes, otherwise it would be a waste of food.
"You came to help, bought a table, cabinets and chairs, and more than a dozen chickens."
"There are so many." Xu Changming quickly turned around to help, regardless of the wild vegetables in the pot.
"Commander, let's go first."
"What are you going to do? Let's have dinner here." Xiaoxiao asked them to eat.
"No, another day." Zou Yong and Xiaowen ran fast in the carriage, what a joke, the company commander finally got married, and now it's time to adjust the oil with his sister-in-law, I don't dare to disturb it easily, the company commander still Don't give them the flying eye knife.A meal is estimated to be difficult to swallow.Being the company commander's light bulb, I don't want to live anymore.
Xiaoxiao glanced at Xu Changming, then went in with a smile, "Changming, you clean the table and cabinets, and I will cook."
"As you order, daughter-in-law."
Xu Changming now completes 100% of Xiaoxiao's orders, of course, without affecting his work.
