"Could it be that what you think about during the day is what you dream about at night?"
Lu Fangfang couldn't figure it out, and she was too lazy to think about it anymore.
If that snow leopard really wanted to take a life, it should have gone after Xu Jinbu, not her.
I went outside for a look, and the sky was very clear; I could see the stars twinkling.
It seemed the sun had finally come out today. She washed her face, ate something, and then went to Commissar Xiao's house.
Wang Shufen also got up early. When she saw Lu Fangfang arrive, she greeted her with the tomato seedlings she had dug up yesterday and was about to leave.
Lu Fangfang glanced back and thought about going to check on the quail in the inner room.
However, it was too early; Xiao Aiguo might not even be up yet, and she felt embarrassed to just go in like that.
"Sister Shufen, are the quails alright? Should I go back and get them some food?"
"Everything is fine, don't worry. I've told Tiedan and Daya to feed them as soon as they get up. I've already prepared the food."
Hearing what Sister Shufen said, Lu Fangfang felt relieved.
It rained all day yesterday, and the roads are still a bit muddy. The grasslands on both sides look greener, and in a few more days, the grass sprouts should all have grown out.
On her way to the sixth team, Lu Fangfang was bored and looked around at the grass on both sides, spotting many rats.
Yesterday's rain was quite heavy, which probably flooded the rat burrows and caused the rats to come out.
The rats here are different from those in her hometown; they're chubby and kind of cute.
"These rats are really fat. They must have done a lot of damage. Girl, we have to keep an eye on our crops and not let them ruin them."
Wang Shufen also noticed these small animals.
However, she didn't find it cute at all; instead, she thought of the wasteland on the riverbank.
"Sister Shufen, it's alright. The troupe's land is blocking the way, so they shouldn't be able to eat any of our food."
Hearing this, Wang Shufen laughed.
That makes sense. The wasteland they cleared is bordered by family quarters and the regimental headquarters to the west, so there aren't many rats there. And the regimental land to the east blocks the rats, so there's not much to worry about.
They chatted all the way until they reached Team Six.
Old Xu had already gotten up by then and was busy in the yard.
Lu Fangfang was standing at the intersection when she saw him, so she quickly walked over.
"Old Xu, Old Xu, do you want any promising young talents?"
"Comrade Lu, what kind of talent is he?"
Xu Huayun scratched her head and looked back at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
"These tomato seedlings were planted by Shufen and me. We had some left over after we finished planting. Do you want them?"
Xu Huayun was somewhat tempted, but after glancing back at the yard, he hesitated, "I don't have anywhere to plant..."
"You don't have room here? There's plenty of space in this yard!"
Lu Fangfang, carrying tomato seedlings, walked to the front of Old Xu's mud-brick house.
She glanced at it, then picked up a small shovel and started digging in front of the window.
It rained yesterday, so the ground was easy to dig. She dug it up in no time and put the tomato seedlings in.
In no time, she planted four tomato seedlings in front of Old Xu's window.
Upon seeing this, Xu Huayun quickly went inside to scoop up a ladle of water and poured it onto the tomato seedlings.
"Old Xu, these four tomato plants are enough for you. You also have plenty of horse manure here, so fertilize them when you have time."
Horse manure placed in front of the window doesn't smell very good.
However, Old Xu has a bunch of them in his house, so he probably doesn't care.
Lu Fangfang dusted off her hands and turned to go to Grandpa Guo's house.
"Comrade Lu? Comrade Lu?"
Lu Fangfang turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong? Four tomato seedlings aren't enough? I'll save you two more?"
"No, no, that's enough, that's enough for me to eat."
Xu Huayun hurriedly waved his hand, stammering somewhat embarrassedly, "Comrade Lu... thank you!"
Lu Fangfang: "..."
"Comrade Xu, you're welcome. Are you alright now?"
Seeing Old Xu nod with a slightly flushed face, Lu Fangfang turned around and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
This person is almost thirty years old, and he blushes when he says thank you. He's so shy. If this happened in later generations, he would definitely be single for life.
"Sister Shufen, let's go."
Lu Fangfang called out to Wang Shufen, and the two went to Grandpa Guo's house.
The men of Team Six all worked as horse herders, while the women stayed home to work and cultivated some wasteland around the village.
They cultivated a lot of wasteland and were able to harvest some grain each year. In addition to what they handed over to the government, each family could also receive a share based on the work points they earned.
Each family in the team has their own plot of land, some grow eggplants, some grow peppers, and some grow rapeseed, but there are no tomatoes, which are a rare treat.
The two men received more than a dozen tomato seedlings from Grandpa Guo's house, which were quickly distributed among the neighbors.
Grandpa Guo puffed on his pipe, feeling quite proud, because this was a promising young man gifted by a military family.
He greeted his neighbors with a smile, hitched up the horse-drawn carriage, and drove off with the two of them.
It rained all day yesterday, and the roads were very bumpy, so Uncle Guo gradually slowed down the speed of his horse-drawn carriage.
"Uncle Guo, Shufen and I have learned to ride horses. In a few days, you won't have to trouble you to drive us back and forth anymore."
"Hey, it's no trouble at all."
The group rode in a horse-drawn carriage and soon arrived at the foot of the Gona Snow Mountain.
After a rain shower, the grass and flowers in the valley have stretched out again.
In the very center of the valley, there is now a small pond, making the scenery even more beautiful.
It's a pity there was no camera, otherwise Lu Fangfang would definitely have taken a picture.
Not long after, the sixth team arrived on horseback.
Lu Fangfang tore a piece of fried dough from the cloth bag. Before she could even call out, Little Red Horse ran over by itself.
She brought it to the little red horse's mouth and then stroked its head twice.
It was still early, so Lu Fangfang wasn't in a hurry to go up the mountain. She grabbed the saddle, lifted her leg, and mounted the little red horse.
"Giddy up!"
I gently touched the horse's belly with my heel, and the little red horse slowly started to run.
As the sun rose, the valley was filled with lush grass and fragrant flowers. Lu Fangfang rode on horseback, admiring this rare and beautiful scenery.
Horses were drinking at a small pond in the middle of the valley, and some unidentified birds were also attracted around it.
Lu Fangfang pulled on the reins and watched the scene quietly.
"very nice."
