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...
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Lu Fangfang felt not happy, but rather a little distressed.
Oh no, her husband is wasting money again. She should have known better than to tell him she was pregnant.
"Honey, don't worry about it. From now on, you can eat this every day. I can afford to support you."
Zhuang Mingcheng pushed his wife to sit down at the table.
He peeled the quail eggs and placed them one by one into the bowl in front of his wife.
“This isn’t about whether we can afford to raise him or not, Zhuang Mingcheng. Let’s be normal. I haven’t even done that yet, and you never know. Besides, you can’t just give him any supplements; he needs a balanced diet.”
"A balanced diet?"
Zhuang Mingcheng seemed to be deep in thought, and he completely ignored what had just been said.
The wife's intuition was never wrong.
"Okay, I'll make sure the food is nutritionally balanced from now on. I'll skip this morning, since I've already made it. You should eat it quickly, we can't waste it."
Lu Fangfang looked down and felt a little unappetized.
She ate quite a bit of mutton last night, and it was unusual for her to feel a little greasy about it.
Hmm...
It's only been a few days since we've had a full meal; this habit is not good.
Holding her chopsticks, she ate some fried pancakes and quail eggs, and pushed the mutton in front of Zhuang Mingcheng.
She's eaten this several times in a row; she's really not good for it anymore.
After breakfast, seeing that Zhuang Mingcheng was about to go to the troupe, Lu Fangfang gave him a few more instructions.
"You mustn't tell anyone what I'm telling you, or I'll make you regret it."
Zhuang Mingcheng nodded quickly.
He's not stupid; he can only tell his family about this, not outsiders.
After Zhuang Mingcheng left, Lu Fangfang tidied up the house and prepared to go to the breeding farm.
"Little Flower? Little Yellow Dog?"
I called out twice, but the two little ones didn't respond.
Lu Fangfang turned around and saw that the two of them were still lying on the wooden bed, fast asleep.
"How can you sleep so soundly?"
She strode over and touched the two little ones, but found nothing wrong.
Then she thought of Zhuang Mingcheng, who had caused trouble last night.
Um……
Fine, let the two little ones continue sleeping at home.
Lu Fangfang smiled and shook her head, then walked out of the house alone.
To prevent others from disturbing the two little ones, she even locked her house.
As she approached the entrance of the family compound, about to leave, Zhao Guilan strode over and stopped her.
"Sister-in-law Guilan, is there something you need?"
"Xiao Lu, the smell of meat yesterday, it was coming from your house, wasn't it?"
Lu Fangfang was taken aback, then nodded helplessly.
In this day and age, if you eat meat once, your neighbors, even half the people in the residential compound, will know.
“My family hunted a Himalayan ibex, so Mingcheng invited his comrades over for a meal.”
Zhao Guilan looked on with envy, "I've heard about this. Um, Xiao Lu, could you sell me some rock goat meat...?"
Before Zhao Guilan could finish speaking, Lu Fangfang quickly waved her hand.
Zhu Haiming and the others hadn't forgotten why they were arrested.
Besides, she didn't want to sell the argali meat; she didn't even have enough for her own family. Right now, her family wasn't short of money; they were a family with ten thousand yuan!
"Sister-in-law Guilan, this is speculation and profiteering. Please don't say anything more. I'll pretend I didn't hear anything. My family's rock goat meat has been smoked dry. It definitely won't suit your taste."
After saying that, she quickly walked out of the residential compound.
"Hey? Hey? Xiao Lu, you're just my type, Xiao Lu? Xiao Lu?"
Zhao Guilan called out a few times, but found that Lu Fangfang was walking even faster.
"Honestly, if you don't want to speculate, why don't you just give me a dollar for free?"
Zhao Guilan was extremely envious and jealous.
This young woman has only been in the family compound for less than a year, yet she's already become the head of the breeding farm in the regiment, and her family has quail eggs and meat to eat every day. She really feels bitter about it.
We all live in the same residential compound, so why is there such a big difference in our lives?
"No, I have to feed the quail properly and try to get it to lay eggs as soon as possible. I traded eggs with Xiao Lu for these eggs."
With a sigh, she turned around to go back, only to see Xiao Ting standing at the intersection, looking in her direction.
Startled, she immediately snapped, "Xiao Ting, what are you looking at? Let me tell you, don't do things that harm others and yourself!"
Xiao Ting, her face gloomy, didn't bother to respond and strode out of the family compound.
Once outside, she glanced at Lu Fangfang in the distance, gave a soft hum, and turned to go back to the troupe.
...
Lu Fangfang was unaware of what happened afterward, and even if she had, she wouldn't have cared.
Just as she turned the corner, she saw an elderly man in his fifties or sixties standing hesitantly in front of the gate of the farm.
She walked over quickly and curiously.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
The old man was hunched over, carrying a tattered burlap sack on his back.
Hearing someone call his name, he quickly turned around. "Comrade, I heard from others that there's a farm here that collects... collects bones. Is this the place?"
Lu Fangfang smiled; finally, the bone seller had arrived.
She nodded quickly and pushed open the door of the farm. "Grandpa, I work at the farm. We collect bones. Please come in."
"Why."
The old man, carrying a sack, walked curiously into the farm.
In the courtyard, Lu Fangfang called Zhao Lanying out.
She was so busy teaching Sister Lanying about animal husbandry that she forgot to mention the purchase of bones and grass seeds.
"Sister-in-law Lanying, our farm buys bones and grass seeds. If anyone comes to sell them, just take them. I've put some money in the drawer in the shed. If it's not enough, just ask me."
Lu Fangfang picked up the scale and looked at the old man again.
