"Hey girl, grab your brother and get home right now!"

Da Niu acted as if she hadn't heard anything, staring at the food on the table without moving.

Xiao Aiguo's face darkened; he felt very embarrassed in front of Lu Fangfang and Wang Shufen.

Feeling humiliated, he stepped forward, grabbed his daughter, and dragged her outside.

"Dad, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry..."

“There’s plenty of food at home, why are you hungry? You’ve been spoiled by your mother at such a young age, you’re all gluttons, none of you give me any peace of mind. Erbao, come with me now.”

"I'm hungry, I want to eat meat, eat meat."

Lu Fangfang frowned, unable to listen any longer.

The three children have grown up and all turned out badly. How can the father not take responsibility?

Seeing that everyone in the room was looking over, she hesitated for a moment, but still didn't want the three children to stay.

She took an empty bowl, picked up some food from each of the dishes, and then quickly walked over.

"Hey girl, there's nothing wrong with craving something to eat, but we can't lie. Here, take it and eat it when you get home."

The girl stopped fussing as soon as she saw what was in the bowl.

Wang Haibing felt a little hot on the face, and he quickly pulled his daughter back home.

After a while, he came back with an empty bowl.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, I'm so sorry, but this child has been completely spoiled by her mother."

Lu Fangfang shook her head and said, "Comrade Wang, you are the child's father, you should care more about the child. Sister-in-law Yufeng has been away for the past few months, you should teach the child more."

She had only known the child for a short time and was too embarrassed to say much, which was a real pity.

If she has a baby in the future, she won't be a parent like that.

Wang Haibing nodded and went into the house somewhat awkwardly.

"Girl, sit down and eat, don't worry about them."

"Yes, Auntie, if you don't eat, we'll eat it all."

Lu Fangfang smiled and patted Tie Dan's head before sitting down to eat.

She first tried the stir-fried quail eggs with chives, and felt that it was similar to the stir-fried chicken eggs, and the taste was really good.

The fried quail in butter was also incredibly delicious, with a satisfying crunch, so you didn't even need to spit out the bones.

She turned to look at the quails in the bamboo cage and decided to continue breeding them.

The quails in the cage can only lay a dozen or so eggs a day now, but she's not satisfied. She plans to feed them more, so that they can lay at least fifty eggs a day.

She would keep some for herself and send the rest to the regiment to help the soldiers recover.

She'll see which investigation team dares to touch her in the future.

"Sister Shufen, do you still have corn seeds at home? I want to plant corn on those newly cleared plots of wasteland."

"I have some more at home, you can come and get them from my house."

Lu Fangfang nodded, planning to plant the corn in the next day or the day after; it couldn't be any later.

As she ate her peanuts, she began to ponder.

The movement has already begun. She had read in her studies that the movement had delayed production in the first few years, and the harvest had generally declined. She had to plant more grain.

"By the way, girl, I'm in the sixth team, and I saw that they all grow sweet potatoes in their fields. I was thinking that we could grow some too, so we can keep them for later."

Upon hearing what Sister Shufen said, Lu Fangfang instinctively shuddered.

sweet potato……

Back in her hometown, she used to eat boiled sweet potatoes for breakfast. They were white and fibrous, and she had to pound her chest three times before she could swallow a bite.

For lunch, she ate steamed buns made from sweet potato flour, and for dinner, she ate porridge made from dried sweet potatoes. She couldn't live without sweet potatoes at any meal. She suffered from heartburn and stomach upset, and she still feels lingering fear when she thinks about it now.

But sweet potatoes are really good. They are drought-resistant, hardy, adaptable to any soil, and have a high yield. People in her hometown rely on sweet potatoes to make a living.

Plant some in the wasteland, and when the time comes, grind them into sweet potato flour. You can eat it yourself or feed it to the quails.

"Sister Shufen, then...then let's plant some. I'll go to Team Six tomorrow and ask for some sweet potato seedlings."

Wang Shufen nodded, intending to plant more varieties when the time came.

The room was noisy and chaotic.

Lu Fangfang and the others had a very pleasant meal outside.

After a while, they had all eaten their fill, while the people inside were still drinking.

Lu Fangfang tidied up the table, brewed a pot of tea, and chatted with Sister Shufen while drinking tea.

She had bought some apricots in the provincial capital before, washed them, and gave them to Daya, Tiedan, and a few others.

Midway through, she was still a little worried and peeked into the house.

Zhuang Mingcheng blushed as everyone at the table toasted him.

The second and third battalion commanders, in particular, kept toasting him, one cup after another, which made Lu Fangfang very worried.

"Old Zhuang, in a few days you'll be Zhuang Tuan, you must drink this cup."

"That's right, that's right, Lao Zhuang, you're really lucky. If it weren't for the investigation team incident, I would definitely have argued with you."

Xu Jinbu and the Third Battalion Commander, fueled by alcohol, vented their dissatisfaction.

The two men had drunk quite a bit because of their deputy regimental commander and family matters.

Gao Dajiang, standing to the side, frowned upon seeing this and said irritably:

"A table full of good food can't shut you up. When it comes to your contributions to the regiment, what do you two have to complain about? Without the investigation team's involvement, you two are no match for Xiao Zhuang in this deputy regimental commander position."

Xu Jinbu kept a low face and remained silent.

Because he couldn't compete with them, he tried to climb the social ladder and went to great lengths to marry his teacher's daughter.

I originally thought I could get promoted to deputy regimental commander sooner by relying on my father-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the investigation team got involved. His father-in-law, the division commander, couldn't help him anymore, and he himself was in danger. He might be demoted, and he would be implicated.

Thinking of this, Xu Jinbu picked up his wine glass, downed it in one gulp, and then began to ponder it to himself.

"Ahem, Regiment Commander, Political Commissar, there are seven or eight women in our family compound who are all undergoing labor reform at the farm. Their children are left unattended at home. You have to take care of this."

The political instructor of the second battalion quickly changed the subject.

Xiao Aiguo thought for a moment and said, "How about we set up a daycare center in the family compound? We can find two military wives who are temporarily unemployed to look after it, and the regiment can subsidize it with some money."

Gao Dajiang thought about it and realized that this was a solution.

"Let's discuss this tomorrow. Tonight is Xiao Zhuang's special day. Xiao Lu? Xiao Lu?"

Gao Dajiang called Lu Fangfang, who was in the courtyard, into the yard.

Holding his wine glass, he smiled and said, "Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Lu, on behalf of the troupe, I wish you two a long and happy life together, and that you will always be of one heart."

"Brother Zhuang, sister-in-law, I'd like to toast you both as well."

"Mingcheng, you and your sister-in-law need to work harder so that we can have a little soldier in our regiment as soon as possible."

...

The table immediately became lively again.
