Li Shukui ran over and said, "Guoqiang, why are you here?"
"I'm just here for a walk." I don't know how to explain it to my brothers, mainly because I'm afraid that the girl will be shy and embarrassed.
"Are you going back today? I found a lot of wild mustard greens. If you go back, bring some back to my sister-in-law."
"Go back, I'll leave in a moment. I guess Xizi will come over, and I have to go to the potato field."
"Okay, I'm going to work."
Huang Mingxiu's eyesight was exhausted. He saw that the work here was in full swing and many houses had been built.
“It’s so nice here.”
"It will get better and better in the future. Roads will be built, and you will be able to walk even if it rains. I'll take you to the potato field to see it. It's pretty good there too."
"Okay." Huang Mingxiu is already yearning for the other side.
An Guoqiang brought a bucket of water, gave Huang Mingxiu a bowl, and also filled the kettle.
"This water is quite sweet too."
"This is a newly dug well. My sister-in-law doesn't want us to be wronged. Everything she can arrange for us has been done."
"Your sister-in-law looks young."
An Guoqiang smiled, "Actually, we don't know how old she is. Calling her sister-in-law is just a sign of respect for her."
Huang Mingxiu nodded. Although it was not clear what she was doing, she was certainly not an ordinary person who had the ability to farm so much land.
The two drove to the potato field and met Xizi on the way.
"How much further to go?"
"We'll be there in another 40 minutes. Let's go eat there." Huang Mingxiu's idea began to waver. She felt that it was great to bring her sister to live here. Sweet potatoes are grown on the land at home, so she doesn't have to take care of her for a long time.
Just take the time to clean it up.
When they arrived at the potato field, Jiancheng had prepared a meal and was waiting for the two of them. Xizi told them that Guoqiang was getting a wife and they would come over soon.
Of course, we had to treat them well, and the sister-in-law also sent me some bean paste, fried with two eggs, and some cabbage, but there was no medicine in it, so I kept it for what they usually eat.
Huang Mingxiu saw that although the food was similar to that at home, it was just not cooked very well.
"Hurry up and eat, I'm waiting for you."
Several men were too embarrassed to look at Huang Mingxiu, so they let the two of them eat alone to avoid embarrassment.
The rice did not taste good, but it was cooked.
Thinking about it, it's actually true. It would be good to let a bunch of them go to the battlefield to kill the little Japs, and the men who are still in poor health can cook a cooked meal.
After dinner, she wanted to help clean up but was refused.
Huang Mingxiu watched them not take a break after eating, but went straight to the ground with a hoe.
"Do you want to go take a look? Most of the potatoes grown here are harvested mechanically in the future, but manual help will be required to pick them up. I heard from my sister-in-law that most of them can be cut into dry parts. I have prepared a lot of curtains.
, dry them in the ground and then take them back.”
“Are you growing so much food what you will need in the future?”
An Guoqiang smiled and nodded. It wasn't that he didn't believe this woman, but there were some things he didn't say. She would understand when they got married in the future.
"I see there are still quite a few radish and mustard greens."
"They all have pickles."
"So many pickles? Does anyone want to buy them?"
"I don't know. My sister-in-law has arrangements, so we can just follow her orders and do the work."
Huang Mingxiu probably knows about it, and maybe these are supplied to the team.
The two of them were walking in the field and looking at the potato seedlings, they really didn’t know what they were.
"Potatoes are just like sweet potatoes. In fact, they have been sold in the county for a long time, but you may not have noticed them before."
“Why don’t you plant more sweet potatoes?”
"My sister-in-law said that the growing period of potatoes is shorter than that of sweet potatoes."
"With so many mustard greens and radishes, how many cherry blossoms will be needed after the autumn harvest?"
"There are thirty sheep here. There is also fodder in winter, and there are ten carriages at home."
"There will be enough corn stalks for them to eat in the future."
The two just walked for a while, "What do you think is good?"
"I quite like it here."
"It's really nice here. In fact, it's almost the same, so let's build a house here."
"You decide? After all, you have to work in the future, but it's convenient for you."
"I can work either way. Now my sister-in-law and Sanyuan have asked me to take care of the accounts. I don't know what the arrangements will be in the future. I guess I can drive machinery."
"I can't make up my mind right now. You're right. It's the same everywhere."
"Then it's over here. I guess it's time to build a house here in five or six days."
"Okay. Is it possible to live in the city in the future?"
An Guoqiang shook his head, "I don't know how to arrange to listen to Sanyuan. My sister-in-law will probably leave the Autumn Harvest Festival."
"Where are you going, sister-in-law?"
"She has a lot of things to do. She hasn't been here long. She has planted too much land this year, so she stayed here because she was worried."
"Okay, let's go here."
"Let's go back."
The two of them drove on the road, but it was too late and they had to go back together.
Huang Mingxiu thought about going back and talking to the girls along the way, or else choosing a better person here. Although he is disabled, as long as he can live a good life.
In fact, I still admire them in my heart.
"Everyone like you who comes here doesn't go home?"
"I come here because I have no one at home. I am all alone. My sister-in-law has arranged such a good environment so that we can be together after we are discharged from the army."
Huang Mingxiu was even more moved. Their sisters had been strong since they were young, and they were different from what others would say. If there was no in-laws, their lives would be pretty good, and the sisters could still be together.
And it seems that this sister-in-law will not treat them badly, and their life should be better than that of ordinary people.
"You sister-in-law are really amazing. You can support such a big stall by yourself."
"And Boss Xiao here is partnering with our sister-in-law."
"Is it the boss Xiao from the county seat?"
"Yes, this is their cooperation. In the future, the two pieces of land will definitely be connected and both will belong to them."
"How big is that?"
"How else could my sister-in-law buy so many machines? She bought them all from Russia."
"It's really amazing."
"Yes, you will know how powerful my sister-in-law is in the future.
By the way, what are the requirements for getting married over there?"
"I really don't want anything. As long as you can be good to me and be good to my girls."
"When we get married, they will be my sisters. I will definitely treat them well. This is not a condition.
And you are my woman. If I am not good to you, who else can I be good to? Don’t worry, I went to school since childhood and learned a lot in the army. I know that women and men are the same."
Huang Mingxiu didn't know that this was a man's respect for a woman, but he felt relieved after hearing this.
But I still have to ask, "Am I the one who has the final say in the house from now on? I'm in charge?" This is what every woman hopes for. Once, a female student went to the village and told them about equality between men and women.
