Chapter 67: Spring in the Garden

"Zhengrong, are you going back to the army?"

After sitting down, Qin Tao looked at Qin Zhengrong and asked.

In the past, every time Qin Zhengrong came back, he would come to their house to sit before leaving.

Zhang Chunrong made a bowl of sugar water for Qin Zhengrong and Su Qiao respectively, opened the cupboard, and scooped out a handful of hearty peanuts, letting them eat while talking.

Peanuts are a luxury for country people, and they are reluctant to serve peanuts to idle guests.

"Well, once Qiaoqiao and the children's household registration and food and oil arrangements are completed, we will set off back to the army."

Qin Zhengrong nodded and said.

Qin Tao looked at Su Qiao in surprise, "Qiao Qiao and the children are going too?"

Qin Zhengrong nodded, "Well, my application for my family to accompany the army has been approved.

This time when I return to the army, I will bring Qiao Qiao and the children with me. From now on, I will have to ask Uncle to help take care of the family."

There is actually no one left at both Qin Zhengrong's and Su Qiao's homes, and the only thing they can do to look after them is to help look after the houses.

Qin Tao promised: "Zhengrong, you can rest assured about this matter.

You are out there protecting your country, and as the captain, I can't let your house be robbed by bad guys."

Qin Zhengrong chatted with Qin Tao for a few more sentences before turning the topic to Su Qiao, "Uncle, Qiao Qiao and I came to see you today.

Actually, Qiao Qiao wants to discuss something with you."

Qin Tao immediately looked at Su Qiao. As the captain of the team, he kept the great man's words "Women hold up half the sky" firmly in his mind.

There was no contempt for Su Qiao in his eyes.

"Qiao Qiao, if you have anything to say, just tell your uncle."

Su Qiao smiled and said, "Uncle, this is actually what my grandfather wanted to do when he was paving the road."

"Uncle, our production team is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and most of the land is not fertile, so the harvest from crops is not very good."

Hearing Su Qiao's words, Qin Tao lit up his pipe with a bit of sadness and took a puff. "Yes, if the soil wasn't so thin, our team's production wouldn't be at the bottom of the commune every year."

"Qiao Qiao, what did Mr. Su want to do before he died? Is it related to the production of our brigade?"

Su Qiao nodded and told him that her grandfather had asked Peng Anguo to contact the pharmaceutical factory before he died.

"Uncle, the land of our production team is not suitable for growing food, but it is suitable for growing herbs. There are many wild herbs on the mountains around us.

All the mountainous land in our team can be converted to growing medicinal herbs, which can then be sold to pharmaceutical factories after being harvested.

Only some good land was left to grow food, which was then used to pay the public grain."

After Su Qiao finished speaking, Qin Tao took several puffs of cigarette in silence.

Then he asked, "Qiao Qiao, are you sure the pharmaceutical factory will buy the herbs we grow?"

Nowadays, people believe in Western medicine, and many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have been labeled as the worst.

Even less people take traditional Chinese medicine seriously.

In the past, in addition to Old Man Su, there were several other herbalists in the nearby villages. However, those herbalists quit their jobs during the turmoil more than ten years ago.

Ordinary people like them neither know about herbs nor know how to use them after picking them.

No one has picked the herbs on the mountain in recent years.

Su Qiao expected Qin Tao's concern, "Uncle, how about this? I will go to the city tomorrow and ask Dean Peng to take me to meet the people from the pharmaceutical factory.

Once it is confirmed, you can assign some people to me and I will take them to the mountains to collect herbs and then sell them to the pharmaceutical factory.

After we sell a batch of the fruits collected from the mountains, our team will start to grow them professionally."

Qin Tao didn't think much about it this time. He took a puff of his dry cigarette and nodded, "Okay, tomorrow I'll ask all the female comrades in the team to go up the mountain with you to collect herbs."

As the team leader, Qin Tao knew too well that their production team could not get rid of the label of poverty by growing grain.

You have to find a way to change before you can become rich.

When Su Qiao and Qin Zhengrong came out of the main room, the three children were playing cat running in the yard with Qin Tao's children.

The young guys were sweating profusely as they chased after them.

Seeing Su Qiao, Erbao rushed over and asked, "Aunt, are we going home?"

Su Qiao rubbed his little head and said, "Yes, we are going home."

Dabao immediately ran over with Sanbao in tow.

The three little guys waved and said goodbye to the captain's family obediently.

When they went back, Qin Zhengrong was still holding Sanbao, while Su Qiao was holding Dabao and Erbao.

Qin Zhengrong then said, "Qiao Qiao, I will go up the mountain with you guys tomorrow."

Su Qiao hadn't said the words of refusal yet.

Qin Zhengrong said without allowing any arguments: "Although you are not the only one going up the mountain, female comrades have limited strength. If you encounter wild boars, you will not be able to deal with them even with your numbers."

Su Qiao thought of the wild boar she saw last time she followed Su Jianjun, and immediately swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

The wild boar was estimated to weigh at least 300 kilograms, and judging by its bulging breasts, it must have just given birth to piglets.

It is the most fierce time.

If they encountered this, there would be nothing they, a group of lesbians, could do.

After arriving home, Qin Zhengrong first prepared bath water for the three children, and then cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Now they don’t have to worry about Dabao’s bathing anymore.

Su Qiao helped Erbao and Sanbao to wash and change them into new pajamas of the right size.

After Dabao finished washing, he took his two younger brothers to bed.

Qin Zhengrong brought Su Qiao some bath water.

Su Qiao took off her clothes and put her hands on the edge of the bathtub, trying to get in.

Suddenly, the leg that was supporting the ground slipped violently.

"ah--"

She gave an unconscious cry of surprise.

His body fell forward uncontrollably and he fell into the bathtub with a thud.

The next moment, a tall figure broke in through the door.

When she suddenly choked on the water and struggled frantically, a big hand quickly pulled her out of the bucket.

"Jojo, are you okay?"

The man patted her back soothingly with his big hands and asked worriedly in his deep, magnetic voice.

Su Qiao's hair was completely wet, sticking to her snow-white skin.

After she came to her senses, she looked at the tall man in front of her.

The face suddenly turned red like liver.

He covered his chest with his hands subconsciously, "I... I'm fine. Brother Zhengrong, you... you go out first!"

Qin Zhengrong was only concerned about her safety just now.

I didn't notice the spring scenery in front of me at all.

Looking at the little woman like this at this moment, his gaze uncontrollably looked to places he shouldn't be looking at.

The little woman had a head of black hair draped over her body, which made her skin look as white as cream.

Especially one of the naughty strands of hair, which follows the curvy figure of the little woman and hides between the seductive valleys on her chest.

It inspires countless thoughts.
