Hearing Lu Changqing say that he wanted a girl, Nuannuan looked at him in surprise.

"Your ideas are quite strange. Everyone tries their best to have a boy, but you want a girl. Why are your ideas so unique?"

Lu Changqing picked up the towel on the side and dried her feet, then gently carried her to the kang.

He gently placed his hand on her belly, feeling the beating of new life.

In fact, it is only more than two months old at this moment, and there is nothing. The child is still the size of a peanut, and he cannot feel any beating.

Nuannuan immediately patted his hand down.

"Don't pretend to be here. The child is only as big as a fingernail. There is no way he will react."

Lu Changqing smiled when he heard her words.

"Do you understand what we call the feeling of the soul? Even though my daughter is very young now, I can still feel her presence, and she must also feel my father."

This was immediately called.

Nuannuan pulled the quilt aside and covered her feet.

"The child hasn't been revealed yet, how do you know it's a girl? What if it's a son?"

Lu Changqing turned his head and looked at her after hearing what she said.

"Whether you have a son or a daughter, I like it very much. Of course, as long as it is a daughter, it will be better. I feel that we will definitely have a daughter this time. It doesn't matter if you have a son or not. We don't have one in our family."

The throne must be inherited."

This is very reasonable.

After everything was discussed, we started to get busy. Captain Zhou first selected some suitable candidates in the village, but there were also some families with orphans and widowed mothers who came to ask if they could introduce some money-making jobs.

Take Widow Ma's house at the east end of the village. Above her is an elderly mother-in-law, and below her are two children.

Apart from earning work points, there was no other way to make money at home. When she heard that the captain was selecting people to earn some money, her mind came alive.

She heard that in addition to people from her village, engineers would be called in. Those engineering teams would definitely have to take care of the food when they came, so she asked if she could ask them to show some sympathy to poor families like theirs if they hired cooks.

If that doesn't work, she can still work hard, as long as she can earn some money.

The work points earned in the fields are only a few yuan in exchange for food throughout the year. Children have to spend money to go to the hospital when they are sick. They still have to spend money to buy something. Their family does not have much savings and has a lot of foreign debt.

Moreover, the two children are already seven or eight years old. This time I heard that there is no money to go to school, and there will be rewards if they study well. She also wants to send her children to school. She is blind and cannot let her children.

I will remain illiterate my whole life.

In addition to Widow Ma's house, there are several other houses here that are in the same situation.

Captain Zhou couldn't make up his mind, so he quickly went to find Nuan Nuan.

He didn't hide anything. He told them all about the situation of several families, and then said some good words for them.

"My eldest niece, these are some hard-working people. The men in the family are gone, and they are all supported by them. If you hire cooks here, can you consider them first?"

After saying that, he waited quietly aside.

If Captain Zhou hadn't reminded her, Nuannuan would never have thought of this, and she would have completely forgotten about it.

"Uncle, it's a good thing you reminded me, otherwise when the construction team comes, I won't have anything to feed them. We'll see how many people come from the construction team then, and then we'll make arrangements."

Captain Zhou knew it was done as soon as he heard her words.

"I know you are kind-hearted, eldest niece. Don't worry, they will definitely remember your kindness. By the way, there used to be a big canteen over there in the brigade office, and the pots and stoves are ready. If you want to cook, you can cook there.

You don’t have to work in the open air while doing it, everything is lent to you.”

This saves Nuannuan a lot of trouble.

"Thank you very much, captain. I don't know how many people will come from the construction team yet. You first organize five aunts to clean the big kitchen and wash the pots. If there are not enough people, we will add more people in the kitchen.

Let’s sort it out first, and we can start at any time.”

Captain Zhou patted his chest and assured him, no problem.

Jiang Shaoqing was arranged to go shopping.

There is also a small warehouse next to their kitchen, and the purchased items are placed in their warehouse.

Captain Zhou and his wife spent a long time at home, first choosing those whose family conditions were more difficult.

Among them is Widow Ma’s family, which is in great difficulty.

When Aunt Zhou went over and told her that she could go in to help, Widow Ma was so excited that she almost knelt down.

"Auntie, I really want to thank you."

It has been three years since my husband passed away, and their family’s situation is the worst in the village.

If there is no way out, I'm afraid this family will be broken up.

Aunt Zhou quickly helped her up.

"It's also because your family is in trouble, so I gave priority to your family. You have to work hard when you go and don't embarrass us. You are the one who is actively recommended by my family. Work hard. Nuannuan will not treat you badly."

At this time Widow Ma's mother-in-law came out of the room.

"Xiaoqin, you can go to work with peace of mind. I will watch over the children at home and won't hold you back."

She knew her daughter-in-law's difficulties, so she tried her best to help her daughter-in-law. He raised the two children.

The two children in Widow Ma’s family are also very obedient.

One person is holding a basket in his hand.

"Mom, you can go to work with peace of mind. My sister and I will be good. We can earn a few work points by going up to the mountain to cut pigweed."

As a family, we work together to make our home better and better.

Widow Ma didn't show any pretense, she gave them a few instructions and followed Aunt Zhou away.

It used to be that when the big stove was opened, it was right next to the brigade office. Later, it was stopped and the room became empty. Once opened, a layer of ash fell inside.

It was a bit choked inside, and the women were all good at work. They opened the doors and windows first, put a cloth around their mouths, and started cleaning the dust inside.

It was clean inside throughout the morning.

There is just no big pot.

Nuannuan asked Jiang Shaoqing to measure the size, and quickly went to town to buy some pots and pans.

Evening.

The tiger took the swallow's hand and brought them wild vegetables.

Except for the two of them.

There are many children behind them.

The children were all carrying small baskets filled with wild vegetables.

Nuannuan smiled helplessly.

"You are so capable, aren't you? Are you picking all the wild vegetables on the mountain? Our family can't use so much, so you can take them home."

Upon hearing this, Huzi took the lead in objecting.
