"Ahem, I'll do it."
Zhuang Mingcheng felt a little embarrassed as his lover wiped his body.
He took the handkerchief from Lu Fangfang, wiped his sweat, and then picked up the undershirt next to him and put it on.
Um……
His undershirt was quite simple, revealing his two strong arms, and one could vaguely see his powerful pectoral muscles.
Lu Fangfang smacked her lips, feeling that her husband was skirting the line.
"Alright, stop staring at me, what brings you here?"
Zhuang Mingcheng felt increasingly uncomfortable under his lover's gaze.
Seeing the soldiers around him seemingly smiling, he immediately pulled his lover aside.
"I want to confirm the location of the breeding shed. The first shed of the breeding farm can hold at least 5,000 quails."
Lu Fangfang took out her notebook, did some calculations, and continued:
"The breeding shed should be five meters wide and fifteen meters long. On each side of the shed, there should be a small room, one for incubation and the other for storage, to hold feed and quail eggs. If it is tall, two and a half meters will be enough."
Zhuang Mingcheng leaned closer for a look.
He discovered that his lover's pencil drawings were quite beautiful, just like photographs.
Okay, from now on, I'll have my partner teach the kids to draw.
As for horseback riding and shooting, he'll be teaching us this time, so we can't miss it again.
"Hey? Zhuang Mingcheng, what are you thinking about? Did you hear me?"
Lu Fangfang waved her hand in front of his eyes, somewhat annoyed.
This man, I don't know what he's thinking about again.
"Oh, I heard it, I heard it."
Zhuang Mingcheng's face was slightly flushed, but fortunately, his face had been tanned a bit these days, so it wasn't noticeable.
He grabbed a measuring tape, and he and his partner measured it on the grass.
Fifteen meters long, that's considered a large greenhouse these days.
After stringing a line across the grass, Zhuang Mingcheng ordered men to take shovels and start digging the foundation.
In addition, the ground inside the shed needs to be compacted, and trees need to be cut down to build the shed roof; there's quite a bit of work to be done.
After working for a while, Lu Fangfang was covered in sweat. She went to the riverbank and quickly washed her face.
"It's so hot today, isn't it?"
Turning around, she realized that the little Tibetan fox had been following her closely.
The little guy had a droopy face and looked very melancholy, which made him look a bit like his mother.
Lu Fangfang smiled and shook her head, then bent down and rubbed the little guy's head to comfort him.
"Awoo~"
"Alright, just stay here and enjoy the cool air, don't follow me."
Once back on the field, Lu Fangfang got busy again.
...
Beidahuang, Qianjin Reclamation Farm.
Farm Manager Fang looked at Zhuang's mother with a helpless expression, "Sister-in-law, if you need tire lining, you could just tell me. Why did you have to cut it secretly? It's such a bad influence!"
Less than two hours after the announcement on the farm, some educated youth reported seeing Zhuang's mother secretly go to the house that was being repaired.
In less than half a day, the person responsible for the sabotage was identified on the farm.
Zhuang's mother sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), head down and silent, trying to get away with it by pretending to be dead.
"Oh, sister-in-law, where's the inner tube? Please take it out quickly, or I won't be able to save you."
"I didn't steal it."
"Sister-in-law! Everyone saw it!"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhuang's mother got up and took out a slingshot from the hole in the kang (heated brick bed) opposite her.
Upon seeing this, Director Fang's lips twitched slightly.
Seeing that the inner tube of the tube had been made into a slingshot by Zhuang's mother, he felt even more helpless.
"You cut the inner tube just to make a slingshot?"
"Well, I'm not trying to be mean, but Comrade Fang, our farm is really struggling! We haven't had meat in ages! Otherwise, I wouldn't have done this!"
Director Fang opened his mouth, but finally sighed helplessly.
Remembering his old comrade's words, he looked at Mrs. Zhuang and said in a deep voice, "I won't confiscate the slingshot, Comrade Zhou. I don't want this to happen again. I still have two ounces of pork at home. I'll bring it to you later."
Zhuang's mother was overjoyed.
It's truly pitiful. Back in the capital, she wouldn't have cared about two ounces of pork, let alone twenty or two hundred pounds.
"However, this matter has had a very bad impact. From now on, you will work in the fields with your comrades. I will arrange for someone else to teach."
"What?"
Mrs. Zhuang was stunned. She hurriedly said, "Comrade Fang, I'm already forty-five years old. You want me to work in the fields? Aren't you going to work me to death?"
"Comrade Zhou, don't worry, I won't make you do any heavy work."
Director Fang shook his head and then strode away.
"But...but are there any easy jobs in the fields?"
Zhuang's mother muttered to herself, her whole being on the verge of tears.
She couldn't even imagine what it would be like to work in the mud. She had never farmed in her life, so how could she go down to the fields?
Looking at the slingshot in her hand, she felt she had done something incredibly stupid; she had really gone crazy from craving meat.
...
Family compound, evening.
Xu Jinbu arrived at her front door and noticed that the lock was gone, which puzzled her.
He pushed open the gate and walked into the courtyard. Seeing the lights on inside, he paused slightly, and his face immediately darkened.
"Why are you only just getting back? I'm starving! Hurry up and cook something."
Xiao Ting sat at the table, holding a cup, trying to fill her stomach with water.
Upon seeing her lover return, she immediately urged him on.
Since getting married, Xu Jinbu has been doing all the cooking at home, and she's gotten used to it.
"By the way, how did Zhuang Mingcheng become a regimental commander? You're useless, you can't even compete with others, I really shouldn't have married you."
"Hmph! You have the nerve to bring that up? You have the nerve to come back!"
