A charming military wife travels back to the 1960s, escaping famine across five provinces before finally reaching the cavalry regiment at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, where she begins her life...
"Sizzle~"
"Sizzle~"
When Zhuang Mingcheng returned with the lunchbox, he saw his wife sitting in the room, tearing strips of cloth.
Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox sat on either side of their lover, acting as his left and right protectors.
He smiled and leaned closer to take a look, only to find that the strips of cloth his wife had torn looked quite familiar.
"Isn't this my old military uniform? It's perfectly fine cloth, why did you tear it?"
"Yes, it's what I had left over from altering clothes. I'll use it to make a rope."
Lu Fangfang nodded, then took the military green strip of cloth and began to rub it in her hands.
After a while, when she had finished rubbing, she picked up the small wooden plaque on the table and hung it up.
"Little Flower, look up."
"Meow~"
Lu Fangfang held Xiaohua's big head and tied the small wooden sign around its neck.
She picked up the remaining strips of cloth from the table and continued rubbing them.
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox curiously approached Xiao Hua and looked at the small wooden tag around its neck.
It stretched out its paw, about to touch her, but was deterred by Little Flower's bared teeth.
"Alright, little yellow dog, you have one too, look up."
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox excitedly raised its head and rested it on Lu Fangfang's leg.
Anyway, whatever it is, if Little Flower has it, it wants it too.
Lu Fangfang took the military green cloth rope and tied it around the little Tibetan fox's neck.
She clapped her hands, looking quite satisfied.
In those days, only the military wore military green uniforms, and everyone else could tell at a glance. With these two cloth ropes, the two little ones would be safer when they went out.
Military green is the color of grass, so it doesn't affect their hunting at all.
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox excitedly ran around twice before looking down at the tag around its neck.
But no matter how much it lowered its head, it couldn't see the wooden plaque on its neck.
It did a somersault on the flat ground, but still couldn't find it, so it started howling in frustration.
"Stupid dog."
Lu Fangfang shook her head helplessly.
Compared to Little Flower, Little Tibetan Fox is really not very smart, as if he's missing a screw in his head. Maybe he was made stupid by the Pallas's cat back then.
"Fangfang, what did you put on them?"
Zhuang Mingcheng drank a whole teacup of water, then turned around, picked up the little Tibetan fox, and looked at the small wooden tag around its neck.
"Hmm, a little yellow dog?"
The wooden sign has only three large characters on the front, and a five-pointed star is engraved above it.
He scratched his head, then turned it over and saw that there were words on the other side as well, which read "Qilian First Regiment".
He put the little Tibetan fox down and then picked up the little flower to take a look.
Xiaohua's wooden sign is in the same style, with the words "Xiaohua" written on it and the words "Qilian First Regiment" at the end.
"Comrade Lu Fangfang, when did Xiao Hua and Xiao Zanghu become part of our regiment? How come I, the deputy regimental commander, didn't know?"
Zhuang Mingcheng turned around and looked at his wife with a puzzled expression.
Forehead……
"They're the guards at our farm, which is run by the regiment. So, rounding up, they're basically part of the regiment too,"
Lu Fangfang nodded, feeling that what she said made a lot of sense.
Seeing the little Tibetan fox still doing somersaults by itself, she helplessly picked up the little guy, held the wooden sign in front of its face, and let it take a look.
"Awoo~"
Seeing that it was the same as Xiaohua's, the little Tibetan fox happily let out a cry.
"Sigh, the kids are growing up, they've started comparing themselves to others, they'll be so hard to fool and manage in the future."
Lu Fangfang petted the little Tibetan fox for a moment, then casually let it go.
"No, Comrade Lu Fangfang, isn't this wrong? If it belongs to your farm, why isn't your farm's name written on it?"
"Commander Zhuang, it's just that the sign is too small and we can't write on it."
"Oh, Commander Zhuang, don't take it to heart. Otherwise, I'll just write your name: Xiao Hua, Deputy Commander of the Qilian First Regiment, Zhuang Mingcheng."
Lu Fangfang suddenly thought the name was not bad.
The man in her family still holds a position that is somewhat useful; if others were to see this, they would have to give Zhuang Mingcheng some face.
Zhuang Mingcheng's lips twitched slightly.
Putting his name on the sign is out of the question; he's a deputy regimental commander, and the reputation of raising wild animals doesn't sound good.
Fine, whatever, it's fine as it is.
He squatted down, pulled Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox over, and began to talk about military discipline.
Since he's a member of the military, he can't make mistakes; otherwise, if someone comes knocking on his door, he'll have to take the blame.
"I'm telling you, you two must never bite other people's livestock, nor do you hurt anyone."
"Next, I will talk about the disciplinary regulations of our cavalry."
Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox tilted their heads and looked at Zhuang Mingcheng, their furry faces full of confusion.
"What? Little Flower, Little Tibetan Fox, you two can't hurt people first, but we won't offend others unless they offend us. If anyone dares to have bad intentions towards you, bite them. If you can't beat them, run back and let the Zhuang Tuan stand up for you."
Lu Fangfang stepped forward, intending to join her husband in disciplining the two little ones.
"Go away, go away, what are you doing causing trouble? I'm about to talk about this: we must dare to unsheathe our swords against the enemy."
Zhuang Mingcheng glared at his wife, then waved his hand away.
"whispering sound."
Lu Fangfang pursed her lips and turned to cook.
"Let me tell you, our army has three major disciplines: first, obey all orders; second, do not take a single needle or thread from the people. That's what I was just saying. You two can't hunt the people's livestock."
"The third rule is that all spoils must be turned over to the public. So, from now on, after you two have caught your prey and eaten your fill, you must bring it back with you."
"Meow~"
Little Flower seemed to understand, and gave a proud shout.
"Yes, Xiaohua did a good job and deserves encouragement."
Zhuang Mingcheng patted Xiaohua's fluffy head.
He turned to look at his wife and said loudly, "Comrade Lu Fangfang, you're also one of our corps members, so listen up. Don't be ignorant of the discipline and regulations of our cavalry."
"Listen up, listen up, please continue, Commander Zhuang."
Lu Fangfang opened the lunchbox her husband had brought back, and as she expected, it was sorghum rice again.
Touching her neck, she felt that her throat had become much thicker, all from eating whole grains, which was actually healthier.
With a sigh, she sliced some potatoes, added half a spoonful of butter, and stir-fried another dish. A person can't stand not having oil and fat in their diet.
There were still some cornbreads at home, so she heated up two more.
"We must act in unison, obey orders, and abide by prohibitions. Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox, you two must be united and friendly..."
"Commander Zhuang, stop talking for now, your little nanny has prepared the meal."
"Comrade Lu Fangfang, be serious."
Zhuang Mingcheng stopped talking and patted the two little ones. "Alright, that's all for today. You two should remember this well."
"Awoo~"
"Meow~"
Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox immediately turned and ran away.
"These two brats really don't give me any face."
Zhuang Mingcheng shook his head helplessly, washed his hands, and went to eat.
