"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey lowered its head and ate the concentrated feed in the basin.
There were also raw quail eggs inside. It snatched them into its mouth and excitedly wagged its little tail.
"You greedy donkey, if you dare to steal food again, you won't get tonight's meal."
Lu Fangfang took a brush and vigorously brushed the fur off the little stubborn donkey.
She thought that after finishing her work, she would give the little stubborn donkey another bath so it could have a comfortable winter, and she would also need to deworm it.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey nudged Lu Fangfang ingratiatingly, then lowered its head and began to eat again.
In the courtyard, Zhuang Mingcheng was washing rice, preparing to cook some porridge.
After a while, Xiao Hua's chirping came from outside the courtyard gate.
Lu Fangfang put down the brush, walked to the door, and opened the courtyard gate.
"Meow~"
Xiao Hua shook herself and walked in.
Lu Fangfang bent down and touched it.
The little guy went out for a run and seems to have eaten his fill; his belly is bulging.
"Meow~"
Xiao Hua nestled against her, then lay down to the side, panting.
Lu Fangfang smiled and shook her head.
After washing her hands, she went inside, took out the letter from noon, and carefully opened it.
"Huh?"
She took out four sheets of paper from the envelope. These four sheets of paper were not folded together; they were folded separately.
Feeling a little strange, she picked up the two sheets and unfolded them to look at them.
This letter was written by Comrade Wenhui. She thanked me for sending the painting and said she liked it very much.
In her letter, she also mentioned that her article was going to be published in the People's Liberation Army Daily.
Lu Fangfang was taken aback. She stood up and quickly walked to the door.
"Mingcheng, Comrade Wenhui said that her first article will be published in the PLA Daily!"
"real?"
In the courtyard, Zhuang Mingcheng was still somewhat dazed.
"Yes, Comrade Wenhui mentioned in her letter that the military region has notified her, and she even received praise for it."
Lu Fangfang flipped to the last page and glanced at the date Comrade Wen Hui wrote the letter; it was exactly one week ago.
In other words, she and Mingcheng should already be in the newspapers by now.
Zhuang Mingcheng was still a little stunned. He quickly walked over, took the letter, and read it.
After a while, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"Mingcheng, isn't the PLA Daily very powerful?"
Lu Fangfang didn't know much about this newspaper, but she knew from the name that it was a military newspaper.
"Yes, the PLA Daily is the newspaper with the largest circulation in the entire military."
Zhuang Mingcheng said, still feeling some pressure.
Lu Fangfang was the same.
Being seen by people from various military regions made her feel a little uncomfortable, as this was quite different from her own military region.
Being too high-profile isn't a good thing, but thankfully it's only this once.
She shook her head, too lazy to think about it anymore, and continued reading the letter.
...
next door.
Wang Haibing sat in the courtyard, stunned.
"Understand... the PLA Daily?!"
He couldn't help but stand up and look towards the east.
Even through the earthen wall, he wanted to ask if it was true.
The PLA Daily!
This is the PLA Daily, a newspaper that commanders of all military regions and cadres in those regions read.
Even in their remote Qilian Mountains, newspapers from half a month ago were delivered.
Being able to become acquainted with the leaders of the military region can be of great help in the future, and who knows... it might even get seen by leaders in Beijing.
"Smack."
Wang Haibing couldn't help but slap himself.
He should have volunteered to participate in the last operation to capture spies.
"Wang Haibing, what's gotten into you now?"
"Did you tell the regiment about what I asked you to do? I saw that piece of wasteland by the river; it's in a great location. Don't let the people from the family compound take it..."
Yang Yufeng muttered to herself as she cooked.
Now, a trend of land reclamation has swept through the residential compound. Even the working women are taking advantage of their free time to clear land in the fields.
She's been eyeing the crops next door for a long time, and she'll have to plant more grain next year.
"Shut up!"
Yang Yufeng was startled by the loud shout.
She glanced at Wang Haibing, secretly pursed her lips, but dared not say anything more.
On the steps in the courtyard, Da Niu sat quietly picking up bits of trash from among the grass seeds. In her shirt pocket was a pair of cotton gloves.
She picked a lot of grass seeds today, but there was a lot of debris in them. She plans to clean them up and send them to the farm tomorrow.
She didn't even glance at Yang Yufeng and Wang Haibing's argument; she was already used to it.
"Hey, girl, could you give me some grass seeds? I'll keep them to feed the chickens at home. I heard that's how they feed quails at farms."
Yang Yufeng held a small basin and reached it toward the bag in her daughter's hand.
"no."
The girl quickly grabbed the opening of the bag.
"Look at how stingy you are, darling! Have you eaten the eggs at home? Did you eat the chicken from the New Year? You brat, you can't even bear to part with these grass seeds. I've raised you for nothing..."
Wang Haibing, who was listening nearby, was extremely annoyed.
He looked east again, feeling even more distressed. He turned and quickly went back into the house.
"Big girl, quick, let Mom dig up some grass seeds. Don't worry, I won't dig up too many."
Da Niu pursed her lips tightly, glanced at Yang Yufeng, and slowly opened the bag.
She turned her head away; she didn't want to look anymore.
"That's right. You've eaten a lot of food from home, so we have to have a conscience."
"Besides, I'm your mother. Your things are mine. You need to give me the money you got from selling the grass seeds right away."
