The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 128 Asking when you don’t understand is a virtue

If it were a few decades later, the wedding of such young people would definitely be romantic.

There must be flowers, diamond rings, wedding dresses, and hotels.

But in this simple era, no one had such romantic ideas. People at that time believed that such ideas were wrong and that they were corrupt capitalist ideas.

In that era, it was even more impossible for soldiers, especially, to engage in extravagance and waste.

The next day, Liang Xinyue asked Zou Wenqing how he was going to arrange the wedding. Zou Wenqing blushed and said:

"Actually, both our parents have agreed, but I still want to write a letter home first to get their permission. After I get married, I won't go back to the city for the time being to see what my parents think. Sanding said that we shouldn't do that, just treat everyone to a meal."

"He and I have known each other since childhood. We grew up in the same courtyard. He and my eldest brother were classmates. My eldest brother also served in the army, and he also responded to the country's call and served in the army."

"It's just that his military service was different from his brother's. His brother could take a leave every year and come back to visit, but he left for six years without any news. He got in touch with his family last year. Then my parents and his parents talked about how we should be together."

"He came back on vacation this time, and I graduated from college. I was originally assigned to work at the post office, but I... wanted to come here with him, so I refused. My parents also agreed."

"My parents treated him like their other son. He was well-liked by the elders in our courtyard since he was young. During the six years when there was no news about him, no one in our courtyard invited guests to celebrate. Everyone was worried that it would irritate his parents."

"When he came back this time, eight families in our courtyard ate together for half a month. We were reunited every day. All the children who lived outside rushed back after hearing the news. You have no idea how lively it was. From then on, I wanted to follow him."

Liang Xinyue understood that this girl, besides her admiration for Lao Gu as a soldier, probably regarded Gu Sanding as her idol.

"You've seen the living conditions here. It's even worse in winter. People outside can't get in, people inside can't get out, and the snow will block the mountain roads. Do you still want to stay here?"

Zou Wenqing thought for a moment and said:

"You've all made it here, so I think I can do it, too. The couples in our compound have all been loving and affectionate all their lives, and no couple has ever had a quarrel. I feel this atmosphere here, too."

"When I was in school, a teacher once said that a person's temperament and happiness have a lot to do with the people around him. I agree with this statement. Sister-in-law, although you are still young, you have done a good job in this regard. Everyone in this courtyard has been united, which is great."

Liang Xinyue smiled, but she didn't say that she was just too lonely here. If she continued to live the way they had chosen before, she would always be alone.

Moreover, I want to integrate into this era as quickly as possible, so I always try to learn some of their words and behaviors when I come into contact with these people.

Whenever I think of the things in my past life at midnight, I can only sigh. No matter where you are, you have to keep going step by step while you are alive.

For me, it is not that difficult. In my previous life, I was in an agricultural college and we were all students. I was relatively innocent and had not yet been exposed to the more complex environment and human nature in society.

At this era, the people in this big courtyard are all simple and innocent people. They only know how to take care of their husbands and children and live their own lives. They are not afraid of hard work or fatigue when doing their work.

No more thoughts.

So, here, Liang Xinyue had some calculations, of course, this calculation was also for everyone's life. With this calculation, she became the leader among these military wives, and they believed in her and were willing to listen to her and do things.

This gave Liang Xinyue a sense of accomplishment. Of course, this achievement had to be recognized by everyone.

Looking at Zou Wenqing, who was just graduating from university, Liang Xinyue asked these questions because she wanted her to think clearly about her future.

Although Zou Wenqing went to college, he seemed to care more about the happiness of his family.

Zou Wenqing said affirmatively:

"I know what you mean, sister. Don't worry, I've really thought it through. I came here and know the hardships he went through as a soldier. I can endure the hardships with him. I'm mentally prepared."

"That's good. Come with me to the city tomorrow, and we'll pick out some things to decorate your new home. Also, we have to buy a big red quilt. Although conditions are tough right now, a wedding is an important event in life, and you should still make yourself feel happy for the rest of your life."

Zou Wenqing looked at Liang Xinyue with a smile:

"I listen to you."

The corn seedlings growing in the backyard have grown their third leaf, so they can be transplanted now. But tomorrow is the day I go into the city once every ten days.

If you miss tomorrow you will have to wait another ten days.

Gu Sanding probably couldn't wait any longer, so Liang Xinyue and the others didn't open up new land today.

Liang Xinyue took a few sisters-in-law and started to dig out the land. After digging out a part of it, Liang Xinyue took a branch and gestured something on the side:

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Asking when you don’t understand is Zou Wenqing’s virtue.

"Let me measure it. This piece of land is for planting corn. We need to dig the land deep first and then divide it into ridges. I am measuring the distance between the ridges. In the future, we can interplant soybeans in the corn field, so that we can have a double harvest."

Do you need to measure the land before planting? Do you also need to calculate it?

Do you want to intercrop?

Zou Wenqing did not understand all this knowledge, but he looked at Liang Xinyue with admiration.

"Sister-in-law, do you also need to calculate the amount of money you spend on farming?"

The educated youth were once again put to use.

"There was an agronomist among the educated youth in our area. He knew a lot about agriculture. He told our team leader how to plant crops, but he didn't listen. Then he asked for a piece of land to plant on his own. Unexpectedly, his yield per mu was higher than that of other lands in our team. And his land was poor gravel land."

Zou Wenqing listened very carefully. This thing was easy to learn, so she helped Liang Xinyue move the branches and mark them.

Liang Xinyue took out another rope, tied a branch to one end and inserted it into the ground, and pulled the other end to the ground.

Then several sisters-in-law began to divide the ridges along the rope.

Several people worked together and managed to get a lot of rewards in just one afternoon.

"As for the rest, I have measured the distance. Tomorrow, Xiao Zou and I will go to the county town. Do you have anything to bring? Then you can divide the rest into ridges at home, just like we did today. The day after tomorrow, we can transplant the corn seedlings."
