Now while the children are sleeping, I quickly hang up the mosquito net. The night before yesterday, I was bitten by a mosquito on my arm while breastfeeding outside.
After everything is sorted out, I have time to sort myself out.
There was a lot of water to boil, and I just happened to take a shower. The woman in the side room has not been out since she came in. I wonder if this is a personality problem or something else?
After washing up, I looked at the time and it was time to have lunch.
I went to the kitchen and took a look, and there was only a little cornmeal and sweet potato noodles.
She went back to the house and took out some millet, just in time to eat millet porridge.
He didn't take the initiative to ask the woman to eat. He just made his own porridge and had salted duck eggs for lunch.
I'm still wondering, don't I need to eat at all?
When the two children woke up, I gave them a bath. They were used to it and liked it very much.
I babbling with them and turned on the radio. Although I am an opera singer now, the children like it when there is movement.
Lying on the kang with them, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He stopped the quilt on the edge of the kang and then went out.
"Mr. Xiao." Chen Miao greeted with a smile.
"Ms. Chen really hasn't changed at all."
"Haha, how can we change in just a few months? Mr. Xiao, please come in."
Invite him into the room, "Mr. Xiao, please sit down."
Xiao Tongran did not sit down, but stood on the edge of the kang and looked at the two children. "Is this the child of Ms. Chen?"
"Yes, my third son and fourth son."
"Haha, Ms. Chen is really amazing."
The two little ones didn't sleep and played by themselves in one-piece clothes.
Because a guest was coming, Chen Miao turned off the radio.
"Ms. Chen, you'd better open it. You see your two sons are frowning."
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Tongran did not sit down, but directly sat on the edge of the kang and looked at the two children with a smile.
Chen Miao stopped being polite and sat on the kang.
"Ms. Chen, how long will you stay here?"
"Unless there are special circumstances, I will stay until after autumn. I also want to see the yield, and I want to go to Russia again."
"Do you want more food?"
Chen Miao nodded, "I definitely need food. I want to see if I can get penicillin over there. This kind of medicine is in short supply. I don't know if I can get airplanes, tanks or anything like that."
Xiao Tongran looked at Chen Miao for a while and said, "Ms. Chen, you will receive double the attention when you go to Russia."
Chen Miao nodded, "I know. I wonder if Ivan is here? Can he find friends in that area?"
Xiao Tongran shook his head: "Ms. Chen, you are thinking too simply. It is impossible for an ordinary person to have access to arms."
"I know, that's why I want to go to Russia."
"That's too dangerous, you'd better not come forward."
"I don't hide it from Mr. Xiao. I have obtained foreign currency, and I think the arms dealers in the empire will sell it to me."
Xiao Tongran smiled again, "I didn't expect Ms. Chen to be able to get foreign currency." If you want to buy an airplane or a tank, you must have a lot of money.
"It happened by chance, so I just wanted to do something with the money."
Xiao Tongran nodded, "I will accompany Ms. Chen there, I can do it at any time."
"Mr. Xiao, I heard from Jiang Hongxi that the government here is looking for you?"
"Well, there are still a lot of wastelands around that I want to give to us, but I don't agree to the requirement of giving 30% of the food every year. What does Ms. Chen mean? Are you willing to cooperate with the government here?"
Chen Miao shook his head, "I don't understand. Mr. Xiao has the final say in all of this."
"The main reason why I didn't agree was that I only wanted to give 10%, but in the end they retreated to 20%. It was a stalemate."
"I think they will agree if it's 10%. The main reason is that this 10% is for nothing."
"What can we do now?"
"Is it okay to grow soybeans? I think it's okay."
"soy?"
"Well, you can try a small amount."
"There is a lot of wasteland next to our land, let them try it."
As the two talked, the two children began to hum. "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, please go sit in the main room for a while."
Xiao Tongran stood up with a smile. It was already forty minutes after Chen Miao finished feeding the two children.
After closing the door and going out, I saw Xiao Tongran smoking under the eaves.
Seeing Chen Miao come out, he immediately snuffed it out.
Two stools were brought out, and the two simply sat under the eaves and chatted.
Both of them knew that there were other people in the yard, so they were talking about farming.
"Mr. Xiao, can our skilled craftsmen here make a rotary tiller?"
"Yes, I specifically found someone who can weld, because I already got this generator."
"Mr. Xiao, I think of a small seeder. I'll talk to the masters in the next few days. It can be operated by one person. It's just that the diesel engine is not that small."
"What do you mean by small?"
Chen Miao gestured, "That's how big it is."
Xiao Tongran shook his head, "No, besides, the price of diesel engines is too high, so it's not cost-effective at all."
Chen Miao nodded. She had also thought about it. Besides, the area on this side of the border was so large that it was really unrealistic to use people to leave.
"I'll come here for dinner tonight." Xiao Tongran had already stood up and was getting ready to leave.
"I'm sorry this time, there's nothing."
"How about you three go to my place."
Chen Miao smiled and shook his head, "I'm not going. Tomorrow I'll go to the fields to check on the situation. When I get back, I want to go to Russia. Is Ivan here?"
"He's not here, he got married. He doesn't spend much time here this year."
"Then I'll bring you a gift."
Xiao Tongran looked at Chen Miao with a smile, "Okay, I'll accompany you there."
"I can do it myself, don't we have to make arrangements here?"
"It's as good as this year. I'll go with you tomorrow and let them plant soybeans on the side."
"It's okay, you don't need to take such a big risk."
"I'll ask them to bring you some food later. I won't come over tonight. I was joking with you just now." On such a hot day, she had to take care of two children, and she really couldn't bear to let her cook for herself.
"No, I have some millet and rice here. I'll talk about it after I get back from Russia."
Xiao Tongran was sent away, and Chen Miao lay beside the children, and soon fell asleep. It was quite uncomfortable to be on the train all night.
She woke up when the children cried, cleaned them up, and fed them. It was almost five o'clock, and she happened to take them out for a walk.
After finishing everything, they stood in the yard, "Comrade, are you going to go out and open the door, or should I lock the door outside?"
Zhang Hongying came out after a while and said, "I'll open the door."
Looking at her, Chen Miao felt a little disgusted. You, such a big person, lie in the house all day?
It had nothing to do with him, so he nodded and went out.
Walking on the street, there are vegetable sellers on the street at this time.
There are vegetables planted in the yard, but I don’t know who grew them and I’m embarrassed to eat them. I’d rather buy some vegetables outside.
