Chapter 236: It's nice to hug your thighs, the tenderness of the old cadres
After everyone finished their meal, they gathered in Jiang Zhizhi’s small courtyard.
Jiang Zhizhi pulled down the light shutter, and the small courtyard was instantly bright.
Except for Chunhua, Yanzi and Xueli who were calm, the other sisters-in-law's eyes almost popped out.
Captain Lu treats Zhi Meizi too well and even installs electric lights in the small yard. Electricity is so expensive nowadays, how can their family afford to turn on so many lights at night?
No, they only installed electric lights in the living room or the master bedroom of their house, and they were reluctant to install lights in other places.
Jiang Zhizhi began to teach the sisters-in-law how to handle Chinese medicinal herbs, teaching each step carefully.
"Sister Zhi, just give us your orders and we will obey you."
"That's right. A great man once said that women hold up half the sky. Men are fighting hard outside, and we are doing our best to help in the rear. We all hope that our soldiers will do well."
"Everyone cheer up, the sooner we learn it, the easier it will be for Sister Zhi."
Fortunately, everyone listened carefully and attentively during the day, so they were not left in the dark at night.
The sisters-in-law kept their spirits high throughout the day. If they didn't understand something from time to time, they would boldly ask Jiang Zhizhi. She would answer them one by one, which moved the sisters-in-law very much.
Jiang Zhizhi was very touched and proud of the sisters-in-law who were very busy and self-aware.
Except for Sydney who is a young girl, women of this era are really simple and hardworking.
The next morning, the sisters-in-law continued to climb the mountain. They were much more confident today than yesterday, and they walked with the wind.
Do you think it's really good to hug someone's thighs?
Excellent!
This time, Cai Ling led the team up, while Jiang Zhizhi stayed at the family compound to process the herbs.
The herbal bags I gave to my brother and Chen before contained some herbs dug up from the mountains, and some from the space. The combination of the two has surprisingly good medicinal effects.
But Jiang Zhizhi was not worried. After all, this ancient prescription had unique therapeutic effects. Even if the herbs produced in the space were not used, the effect would not be much different.
Jiang Zhizhi, who was immersed in the research of Chinese medicinal herbs, didn't know that the family courtyard was boiling again.
The people in the family compound were greatly stimulated. They brought their stools and small stools out and gathered together to chat.
"Sister-in-law Fen, who can't read a word, was able to join the picking team. Why am I, a primary school graduate, not qualified?"
"Do you feel comfortable seeing them getting paid every day?"
To be honest, everyone present had some thoughts in their minds.
Some young sisters-in-law are even trying to get to know Captain Lu’s wife, so that they can at least talk to her!
Bringing you closer to others, the benefits of clinging to someone powerful!
Helped the camp with its affairs and accomplished a great feat!
It can also help their men save face in front of their leaders. How can they not catch up with such a good thing?
"Didn't Xiaolu's wife go up the mountain today?"
"Xiao Lu's wife is not only good at writing, but also knows medical skills. How can such white and tender hands do such rough work?"
"I saw that Xiao Lu washed the clothes in the morning."
These are all Xiao Lu and his wife's family's affairs. In our hearts, we just don't want to care about them. In two words, we are jealous.
They came to join the army to look after their spouses, do housework and raise children.
A home without a man is not a home.
They have been living in the countryside with their parents-in-law and their husband's brother and sister-in-law. They see them everywhere they go. How can they call this their home?
It would be better to pack up your bags and bring your children here to share the hardships with a man, and be the master of your own little home, where you can be free.
But now that there is a role model like Captain Lu standing here, and with Captain Lu pampering, loving and protecting them, everyone is truly envious of Jiang Zhizhi for falling into a nest of blessings and enjoying a life of luxury!
…
As time went by, the herb-collecting team made smooth progress.
Every day at home was very fulfilling for Xueli. After dinner, she would sit under the dim light and sew clothes.
After sewing for an hour, Xue Li put down her needle and thread and clothes, went straight to the bathroom to wash up, and lay down to sleep.
After all, Zhizhi said that making clothes is a token of one’s heart, but one should not overwork one’s eyes.
After working for three nights, Xue Li finished the light gray short-sleeved shirt.
That day, Gu Qingpei finished his day's work and met Political Commissar Chen Yueming on the road. The two of them walked towards their family compound together.
"I really didn't expect to come back at the same time as you today."
Political Commissar Chen Yueming had a lot of things on his mind. Not only did he have to deal with the soldiers' personal problems and actively build their cohesion, he also had to find time to resolve some family conflicts, so his get off work time during this period was usually after 7 p.m.
Gu Qingpei thought to himself: Isn’t this just for the sake of seeing my sister earlier?
Chen Yueming was amused at once. It was not difficult to guess what Lao Lu was thinking, as it was all written on his face.
No wonder Gu Qingchuan has been a lot more obedient recently. It turns out he wants to perform well in front of Xueli.
Gu Qingpei stood outside the door and knocked. Xueli finished cooking and said crisply, "I'm here."
Gu Qingpei never thought that one day he would be able to eat the meals cooked by Xueli himself. His heart was filled with joy and his brows softened.
After dinner, Xueli washed her hands with a faint smile on her face: "I made this dress myself. This is the second time I've touched such fine fabric. My hands are a little rusty. I don't know if you like it. Try it on?"
Gu Qingpei, a man who never showed his emotions, was now standing there stupidly, with a rare stunned look on his face.
"For me?"
Gu Qingpei's face showed helplessness and doting, and his heart was sweetened.
Now he was even more excited than the first time he had accomplished the feat, and he couldn't wait to take his clothes to the bathroom to change.
The comfortable cotton cloth was very comfortable to wear. Gu Qingpei lowered his head and touched the clothes, and the old cadre felt a little more tender in his heart.
So he walked out of the bathroom quickly, his tone full of smiles, and chuckled softly, "The size is perfect."
"Thank you, my sister Sydney."
Gu Qingpei likes it so much that he can’t bear to wear it anymore.
Xueli's heart finally settled down. "You've been so good to me, I just want to do something to repay you."
"Besides, you look great in your new clothes."
Gu Qingpei tried his best to hold his breath, "Okay, second brother will wear it."
Then he should wash it clean tonight. Anyway, the sun will be so strong tomorrow that it will dry quickly.
Well, shouldn’t he wait until the training is over and then wear new clothes to visit his younger brother Gu Qingchuan?
......
On the other hand, Gu's mother didn't dare to talk to Ming Qingqing, who had changed her surname.
No matter how much she felt sorry for Ming Qingqing, she couldn't even see Qingqing.
She asked the soldiers guarding the gate of the family compound, and the answers she got were all that they had never seen Qingqing.
Even her youngest son Gu Qingchuan would be considerate of her feelings and go along with her feelings.
But now Qingchuan is unwilling to come back.
They said they should give her some time to calm down, but now Mother Gu is even more worried and can't sleep well.
Seeing this, Gu's father naturally felt sorry for his wife, but it was wrong and there was no doubt about it.
The couple talked for a long time late at night, and Gu's mother had a very bad time during this period.
She wanted to go to the family compound to see Xueli, but Gu Qingpei would not allow her to go at all.
If she still can't figure it out, then don't disturb Xueli's normal and peaceful life and don't hurt his sister anymore.
Gu's mother felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. "How could I hurt Xueli? She is my own daughter!"
She just wanted to see the lady...
Feeling uneasy, Father Gu gently stroked her back with his big hand and said earnestly, "Wife, don't be silly, or you will lose both your son and your daughter Xueli."
