Chapter 370 Thoughts About Planting Vegetables

Did Chu Wensong treat her like trash?

Two days before leaving, the two of them went to the county town and brought toothpaste, toothbrushes and soap for Chu Wensong. Su Yian bought everything from autumn clothes and long trousers to underwear and socks.

Afraid that Chu Wensong would be injured, he also bought medicine for bruises.

"Let's take a picture." Chu Wensong suggested.

"Why did you suddenly mention this?"

"You can take it out and look at it when I can't see you."

"I remember that when I got married, I took two single photos, as well as a group photo."

"That's different, you look better now."

How should I put it? In the past, Su Yian was a budding flower. Although she was beautiful, she was not unrestrained enough. Now that she is a mother, Su Yian has a curvy figure, spring-like eyebrows, and is beautiful and charming.

"Okay, okay, I'll satisfy you."

The couple entered the photo studio. Su Yian took two single photos and one photo together. After paying more, the shop owner agreed to expedite the photo.

"It would be great if the little one could take a photo too. Let's take a family photo."

"If it takes a hundred days, I will take pictures of the two children and then send them to you."

The day has come when I can no longer bear to leave.

In the morning, the mother-in-law and mother made dumplings for Chu Wensong while the child was still awake. This was the old man's wish for a safe trip.

Chu Wensong stood in front of the kang, looking at the two children without blinking. It would take a long time to see the little babies that he could see when he opened his eyes. It would take a long time for him to feel satisfied with his life after just one look at them.

Can't see it anymore.

Bad mood.

"Wen Song, business matters are important."

Chu Wensong leaned down and kissed Su Yian hard, "Look after the child and remember to miss me."

"I know-"

Wasn't there enough trouble last night? Her legs are still sore now.

The other one was a company commander from the Second Battalion, and the two of them made an appointment to go together.

When he arrived at the school the next day, Chu Wensong made a phone call to report that he was safe. A week later, he received a letter from Chu Wensong, saying that his classes had begun and he was adapting well.

On February 2, the dragon raises its head.

That is to say, from this day on, everything revives and spring plowing begins.

The troops brought in a tractor from outside, dragging three pears to reclaim a piece of wasteland in the southwest corner.

A few years ago, the weeds were one meter tall. Although they withered in the winter, their well-developed root systems were still there, so they had to be cleaned manually.

Battalion Commander Shen called on the unemployed military wives to help, working eight hours a day at sixty cents a day. The salary was neither high nor low, and many military wives were attracted to join.

Chen Shiliu and Wang Xiangyun were among them, and the grass roots on their palms were dyed black and yellow.

Sixty cents a day is six yuan, which is a lot of income, especially for people who are unemployed.

"What will you plant on the land you have cleared?"

Chen Shiliu said: "The cooking squad leader said that we should grow vegetables. There are so many soldiers in the army and they have to eat a lot of vegetables a day."

An idea suddenly popped into Su Yian's head, and she first revealed it to her biological mother.

"Mom, I want to grow vegetables in the army."

"Growing vegetables? How can you have that free time? Two children are not enough for you?"

"Mom, I can't just take care of the kids and spend Wensong's salary, right?"

Bai Hongmei snorted, "Don't think I don't know, your monthly income from painting is no less than Wensong."

"But people's inspiration sometimes dries up. This bowl of rice will not last long."

At most, you can earn some royalties.

"Let me just say, it's up to your mother-in-law to leave her family and career to take care of your children, but you end up going to make money. See if she feels comfortable?"

This is also a question, how should I speak?

Su Yian went to the camp, she wanted to meet Battalion Commander Shen.

Battalion Commander Shen met her immediately.

"Brothers and sisters, do you have any difficulties? Before Wen Song left, he specifically told me that if you have any difficulties, just raise them and I will find a way to help solve them."

"Thank you, Commander Shen. There are no difficulties in life. I just have a question I want to ask for advice."

"Brothers and sisters, you're welcome. If you have anything, just ask."

"I heard that the land being reclaimed is used to grow vegetables, right?"

"Yes, that is indeed the plan."

"How many acres are there for growing vegetables?"

"Let's open a dozen acres first. If we open it all, we will have thirty or forty acres."

When the camp was first built, there was a large mud pond here, which was filled up year by year, and the soil was fairly fertile.

"Why aren't thirty or forty acres opened together?"

"The troops don't have that much manpower, and they can't eat that much food."

"Battle Commander Shen, I'm going to tell you that I'm not going to listen to you, but you think it's wrong. If nothing else, how many of the military wives in our battalion alone are unemployed?"

Most of the military wives in the first battalion come from rural areas and have low educational levels. There are either no positions in the army or the positions are not suitable for them. In total, there are more than a dozen military wives who are unemployed.

"Commander Shen, look, if we open up the rest of the land and the labor force is not enough, wouldn't there be our military wives? It can solve the labor shortage and solve the work of the military wives. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Battalion Commander Shen shook his head, "Thirty or forty acres, what's the point of growing so much vegetables and not being able to eat them all?"

"Battal Commander, aren't there any shortages of vegetables in other battalions? What about other regiments? Nowadays, there are cooperatives in rural areas and villages run factories. Why can't our army have vegetable cooperatives?

A happy family means military personnel have no worries and can better protect their home and country, what do you think?"

Su Yian's idea was so bold and so "novel" that Battalion Commander Shen couldn't fully digest it for a while, so he said, "We will do some research and give you an answer."

"I can accept it whether you agree or not, but I just don't want it to go on forever. I'd like to give you an answer."

"good."

In fact, the machine plows the ground very quickly. The trouble is that manually removing the grass and smoothing it out again and again is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. It takes a dozen people two or three days to clear an acre of land.

Five or six days had passed, and just when Su Yian thought there was no chance, the communications soldier in front of the battalion commander came to deliver a message, saying that Battalion Commander Shen wanted to see her for something.

There's no need to guess, it must have happened last time, and it all depends on Commander Shen.

In the office, in addition to Battalion Commander Shen and the instructor, there is also a leader.

Battalion Commander Shen introduced: "This is Commander Wei, Commander Wei, and this is Comrade Su Yian, Chu Wensong's lover."

Captain Wei stood up and shook hands with Su Yian.

"Hello, Captain Wei."

"You're welcome. I've read your letter. It's insightful. You should be smart when talking and doing things. I'm here today just to hear some of your opinions on growing vegetables and how to operate them. If possible, I can promote it to the whole group."

Su Yian really didn't expect that this incident would alarm the group leader.
