"Hey sis, did Comrade Liu from the military region leave?"

After finishing her work, Wang Shufen went to the yard and looked around, only to find that her sister was all alone.

"Yes, they've gone back to the regiment. They're from the propaganda department, and they have to accompany the commander on his inspection tour."

Lu Fangfang nodded. She stood under the birch tree in the yard and patted the little stubborn donkey's head hard.

It's a pity I took a jeep today and didn't ride my little stubborn donkey there, otherwise I could have given it a big red flower.

She took two pieces of fruit candy out of her pocket, slowly unwrapped them, and stuffed them into the donkey's mouth.

"Oh...ah..."

The stubborn little donkey wagged its tail and became excited again.

It licked the candy in its mouth, tasting this flavor for the first time.

The donkey nudged Lu Fangfang's cloth bag with its snout, wanting to eat more of it.

"Alright, you can only have two pieces of wedding candy. You can have more another time."

Lu Fangfang coaxed it and then turned around and brought over some corn stalks.

A high-ranking official is on inspection today, so we can't let that stubborn little donkey go out and cause trouble.

"Girl, stop working here and go home. Today is your special day, you can't be working."

"Sister Shufen, then I'll trouble you. This little stubborn donkey isn't hungry right now. Just give it some more when you see it's finished eating."

Lu Fangfang called out "Little Flower" and "Little Tibetan Fox" as she walked out of the breeding farm.

Standing at the door, she looked southwest.

On the grassland over there, many mounted warriors are training.

She glanced at the crowd and saw that Zhuang Mingcheng might also be there.

The man hadn't taken off his sash, which was very conspicuous and could be seen from afar.

"Meow~"

"Awoo~"

Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox looked on excitedly and started calling out towards the grassland.

In the distance, Zhuang Mingcheng, riding a chestnut horse, heard the commotion. He squinted at it and then waved in their direction.

"Xiao Gao, Mingcheng, we cannot slack off in training; we must prepare for a future war."

"Your cavalry regiment is special. If something happens in the northern border, you need to provide rapid support. In addition to riding horses, you also need to learn other skills."

Deputy Commander Wu rode a black horse, and he was generally satisfied with the situation in the regiment.

In particular, the soldiers' morale was the best among the troops he inspected.

"We must obey the instructions of the Central Military Commission, prepare for war and famine, and serve the people!"

"Yes, Commander!"

"Yes, sir!"

...

"Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, stop barking, don't disturb them."

Lu Fangfang bent down and touched the two little ones, silencing their cries.

After watching for a while, she called out to Xiaohua and Xiaozanghu, and went back to the group first.

Along the way, the soldiers she encountered, seeing the sash on her chest, all offered their congratulations.

Everyone heard that the first company of the first battalion had been awarded a collective second-class merit.

They were incredibly envious and all dreamed of following Commander Zhuang to achieve meritorious service in the future.

Lu Fangfang still had some fruit candies in her pocket, which she distributed with a smile.

By the time they arrived at the auditorium, she had almost finished distributing all the candy in her pocket.

Looking around, I saw that the auditorium was all tidied up, which was quite fast.

With her camera in hand, she returned to the family compound.

She needs to develop these photos quickly so she can give them to the soldiers.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner. Their families would be very happy to receive a letter with photos of their meritorious service during the festival.

...

"Awoo~"

"Meow~"

"Alright, alright, you can't wear these all the time. I'll take them off for you now, and you can wear them again for holidays later."

Lu Fangfang held Xiao Hua and the little Tibetan fox, and took off the big red flowers from their clothes.

She glanced around the room and placed the large red flower on the table in the center of the north wall, under the portrait of the leader.

In any case, this is an honor for the two little ones.

She looked down and carefully took off her sash.

Standing on the chair, she hung the red ribbon bearing the inscription "Third-Class Merit Recipient" next to the portrait of the leader.

When Zhuang Mingcheng returned, he hung the plaque for the second-level combat hero on the other side.

From now on, anyone who visits her home will definitely see her first.

"Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, how about it? Pretty, right?"

"Awoo~"

"Meow~"

The two little ones called out in unison.

Lu Fangfang stared at it and grinned for a long time; she also thought it looked pretty good.

She carefully removed the medal from her chest and placed it in the box along with her certificate of merit.

These two things are essential; with them, she'll receive a significantly higher monthly pension when she retires.

She walked to the west side of the house and tidied up the things her sisters-in-law had brought her.

She simply put canned food and other similar items into the cupboard.

There were also some cloths and pillowcases that she didn't need right now, so she put them in the wardrobe in the inner room.

She had plenty of other enamel basins, thermos flasks, and the like at home, so she just put them aside and could use them as gifts later.

After working for a while, she went to the yard to dry the bear meat.

The big bear we hunted on the mountain now only has three bear paws, a bear gallbladder, a bear skin, and a few dozen kilograms of dried meat left.

These dried bear meats were cooked and then dried by her. They still smelled a bit fishy, ​​and she estimated that they would weigh about 40 to 50 pounds after drying.

She didn't want to eat the meat herself, planning to save it for the two little ones as a snack.

"Giggle~"

"Um?"

Hearing the sound, Lu Fangfang turned her head to look.

A gray duck emerged from the drainage ditch in the yard.
