Chapter 86 The tailor lost his scissors and was left with food

"But isn't it just farming? I can do it, too. I can do it better than her." Cui Taohua said proudly. She was a good farmer in the village.

"There are villages near the military region. Don't they know how to farm?" Qiu Liang looked at her seriously. "Didn't you see that the fields were planted with barley on your way here?"

"All the food in the cafeteria that day was millet from one acre of land. I heard that there were more than one kilogram in total. Can you grow so much?" Qiu Liang looked at her, knowing that she had never seen the world, and did not get angry with her.

But the warning still needs to be given, "Taohua, this step is not easy for me, and the purpose of my coming to the Southwest Military Region is to learn from Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng."

"If you do anything that harms my progress, I will divorce you without mercy and deal with it as I see fit."

Qiu Liang looked at her seriously. "What you need to do is to be a good wife to me, just like other military wives, take care of the family, give birth to two children for me, and take good care of the children. If you can't do it, you can just go back home now."

"I know." Cui Taohua originally wanted to say something, but she was afraid that Qiu Liang would send her back to her hometown.

"I don't want you to know, but you can do it." Qiu Liang stood up and looked at her. She also said she knew about the cafeteria incident a few days ago, but today she started to talk about it as soon as she saw Lin Momo.

"I can send you back to your hometown and I won't divorce you, but I will never go back for the rest of my life." Qiu Liang looked at her.

"I, I can do it, don't send me back." She knew that Qiu Liang said she could do it, and she didn't want to go back and be a widow for the rest of her life.

"Go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow. Then buy half a pound of egg cake and ask the aunt next door how to make a greenhouse. We can make one too."

"That's right, don't go out and talk nonsense. You don't even have a child or a wife, why are you always asking around with a bunch of middle-aged women?" Qiu Liang looked at her, "Don't learn the ways of those gossipy women in the village. I don't like them."

"Okay, okay."

Lin Momo and Cheng Jinghao were walking back when Zhao Guihua caught up with them.

"Comrade Lin, Comrade Lin."

"Aunt Zhao, what's going on?" She looked at Zhao Guihua curiously.

"I heard from Comrade Li He that you like the sour jujube cake I made. So, I'll get some for you." Zhao Guihua said with a smile.

"No need, Aunt Zhao." Lin Momo waved her hands repeatedly. She had already taken a lot of money last time.

"Take it, it's not valuable." Zhao Guihua put the sour jujube cake in her hand.

"Thanks to you and Comrade Li He, our family has built a greenhouse. Now we don't have to worry about having vegetables to eat. Thank you very much. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go back first."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhao." Lin Momo quickly said thank you.

Looking at Zhao Guihua's back, Cheng Jinghao curled his lips and said, "They are both interesting."

"What do you mean?" Lin Momo looked at him curiously.

"On the first day that Deputy Brigade Commander Yao arrived, he told the deputy commander of the Second Division that he would just be a deputy brigade commander for the rest of his life and that he should not be sent on missions unless necessary because he had to accompany his wife. But if the country needs him, he would go even if he retired."

"No wonder he is only the deputy brigade commander at this age." She laughed when she heard it.

"He has been the deputy brigade commander for ten years." Cheng Jinghao said to Lin Momo.

"Ten years ago, when he was still the head of the regiment, Aunt Yao was pregnant and about to give birth, and he went on a mission. You know, the medical equipment was not good at that time, and Aunt Yao had a difficult delivery and the baby was lost. After that, they never had children again."

Lin Momo realized that she had said the wrong thing, "I am petty."

Cheng Jinghao pinched her cheek and raised the corner of his lips, "It's okay, you don't know."

"Deputy Brigade Commander Yao felt sorry for his wife, so he would not go unless he had to participate in a mission. He stayed at home with Aunt Zhao. But everyone knew him. As long as the country needed him, he would definitely go."

Cheng Jinghao looked respectful, although he did not take the initiative to carry out the mission. However, Deputy Brigade Commander Yao trained three times a day without missing a single time to ensure that he was in the best condition when going on a mission.

"After living in this era, I realized that being a soldier in this era has much more difficulties than in our time." In the 21st century, there are also injuries and sacrifices.

But the conditions were much better than they are now, both in terms of wartime supplies and peacetime living conditions.

Lin Momo looked at him without saying a word, but her slender hand tightly held his big hand.

Cheng Jinghao looked down at her with deep affection in his eyes. With her around, he felt sweet wherever he went.

Time passed quickly, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon. Lin Momo was already more than seven months pregnant, and her belly was already bigger than that of others when they were about to give birth.

When Li He came over, Lin Momo was hanging clothes in the yard.

"Oh my dear mother, are you trying to scare me to death?" Li He quickly ran over and snatched the clothes from her hands.

These days, Cheng Jinghao and his men are heading to the plateau mountain road to clear the way for the transport vehicles transporting supplies, so Li He comes to take care of Lin Momo every day.

"Who told you to wash your clothes by yourself? Isn't the water cold?" Li He scolded.

"It's just a few pieces of clothes, it's okay." In fact, the clothes were washed in the washing machine in the space. She was afraid that Li He would see her changing clothes without washing them and become suspicious, so she hung them in the yard.

"Don't you even look at your belly? I'm afraid you'll give birth early someday." Li He muttered as she hung out clothes.

"Sister, can you stop nagging me every day?"

"Girl, I'm doing this for your own good." Li He glared at her.

"But you really look like my mother like this." Lin Momo muttered softly.

"What are you talking about?" Li He looked at her after hanging up the clothes.

"I didn't say anything. I just asked Zhongri what we should eat." She looked at Li He with a smile.

"You are just a tailor who lost his scissors, and all he has left is food." Li He tapped her forehead, "Go to the room and have a rest. I'll make you dumpling soup with meat today."

"Where did the meat come from?" Lin Momo asked curiously. They hadn't been there recently.

"I'll share three taels with the cafeteria. It's enough to make you some dumpling soup." She came over late today just to go to the cafeteria. Lin Momo was pregnant and couldn't go without meat every day.

Lin Momo looked at Li He and felt warm in her heart. Cheng Jinghao was away these days, and Li He was afraid that she was lacking in nutrition, so she found ways to make delicious food for her.

She either traded eggs with others or went to the cafeteria to say nice things to people and get some meat. She also ate the dried shrimps that Li He's hometown sent her.

She couldn't tell Li He that she had enough meat and nutrition, but she was indeed moved by Li He's actions.

"Sister, thank you!" Li He was kind to her, which reminded her of her mother Lin and two sisters-in-law who were far away in Beijing.

"Silly girl, what are you thanking me for? Are you moved by such a small favor?" Li He looked at her with a smile. Lin Momo was like her sister, accompanying the army in the military zone. It was great to have someone like her to accompany her!
