Chapter 27: Grandma, why don’t you wear mourning clothes for the pug?
Cui Zhiguo laughed and praised: "Such a temper and courage, he is a good seedling, what a pity!"
He likes girls with straightforward personalities, boldness and carefulness. He gets a headache when he sees those girls who act timidly. Unfortunately, the Luo family is a family of posturing. Now the situation has changed. Even though he is the deputy commander, he has to be restrained and cannot act rashly.
Li Rong understood. Although it was expected, he still felt a little regretful. Luo Xinxin was looking forward to taking off the hat, but this time he was afraid that it would not happen.
"Does the Luo family still need to be monitored?"
Li Rong asked for instructions.
"Three days later, send them to the farm and tell Lei Xiangyang that their family has made a contribution and you will arrange some light work for them." Cui Zhiguo ordered.
In fact, he had already dispelled his doubts. The Luo family's purpose of diverting the enemy's attention for Qin Jingxiong and his wife was indeed not simple, but it was also human nature. How could a stranger who had never met each other easily become a scapegoat?
Unless they can get significant benefits, the top priority for the Luo family is to take off the hat.
Lei Xiangyang is the person in charge of the farm and also his old comrade-in-arms. With his greetings, the Luo family's life on the farm will be much better.
The quarrel between the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in the room completely dispelled Cui Zhiguo's suspicion, but to be on the safe side, he had to monitor the situation for another three days.
"OK."
Li Rong responded.
"Treat you well for the next three days, don't be disrespectful."
Li Rong agreed to all of them.
"Deputy Commander, there's another quarrel next door."
Monitor subordinates' reports.
Cui Zhiguo walked over and put on his headphones. He heard the quarrel between the Luo family's grandparents. To be precise, it was Luo Xinxin teaching her grandparents a lesson.
"Do you know what we are now? We are the ones who are hated by everyone, just like the rats crossing the street. Can you find any rat that uses jasmine soap to bathe?"
"You can't use this cheap soap, it's harder than stone. My skin is scratched and I don't even have shampoo. I can't just use soap to wash my hair, right?"
Old Mrs. Luo sounded particularly aggrieved. She had already prepared herself to endure hardships, but upon arriving in the northwest, she was hit by the poor conditions.
If she washed her hair and took a bath with such a bad soap, her skin would definitely become rough and her hair would become like dead grass. She couldn't bear the thought of it.
"This is the guesthouse at the base. The conditions are already pretty good. Once you get to the farm, you'll be so lucky you can only take a shower once a month. There's no flush toilet, and you have to use the dry toilet. Do you know what that is? It's a pit of manure where fat maggots crawl out in the summer. If you miss a step while squatting, you'll fall in."
What Luo Xinxin said was not an exaggeration at all. Life was very hard in rural areas across the country in the 1960s. She had to give these two people a heads-up as soon as possible to prevent them from holding her back.
Luo Weian and Old Lady Luo both changed their expressions, and a picture appeared in their minds.
The fat white maggots were wiggling around, leaving no place for people to stand...
"vomit……"
Old Mrs. Luo felt so nauseous that she almost vomited and wanted to die.
Even if she had not married into the Luo family, she would not have had such a hard life at her parents' home.
"Old...old man, how can I live like this?"
Old Mrs. Luo looked at her husband crying, expecting him to make a decision, but Luo Weian just sighed.
"Xinxin, do you think the leaders will remove our hats? If they do, we can go back to Shanghai, right?"
When Mrs. Luo saw that her husband had no idea, she immediately went to ask her granddaughter.
"I'm not the boss's confidant, so how would I know what they're planning? But we've done such a great service. Even if they don't take our hats off, they should at least give us a certificate of merit and a few hundred yuan reward."
When Luo Xinxin said this, she raised her voice intentionally or unintentionally. Cui Zhiguo in the next room heard it clearly and felt a little embarrassed.
Logically speaking, with such a great contribution, he could indeed remove the hat, but in the current situation, he really didn't want to make a big fuss. Doing so would indeed be a bit unfair to the Luo family. The little girl's words were more painful than a slap in the face.
"If you can't take off the hat, what's the point of just giving me the certificate and money?"
Old Mrs. Luo looked gloomy and lacked interest.
Now she just wants to go back to Shanghai. Even if she lives an ordinary life there, it is a hundred times better than living in this hellhole.
"Of course it works. With money, we can buy jasmine soap. With a certificate of meritorious service, the people on the farm won't dare bully us. After all, we're the heroes who saved the scientist. Bullying us is like slapping the base in the face, slapping Deputy Commander Cui in the face. It's a loud slap. How can Deputy Commander Cui tolerate it?"
"That's definitely intolerable. There was a servant at home who kicked my daughter. I immediately fired him to help my daughter vent her anger. Deputy Commander Cui will definitely help us vent our anger as well."
Mrs. Luo answered the call very quickly, and Luo Xinxin was very satisfied, but——
"Which one is Nannan?"
She remembered that Old Lady Luo only gave birth to two sons and she was her only granddaughter, but the old woman was particularly patriarchal and had disliked the original body since she was a child and had never called her "Nannan".
"It was a pug I raised. It was very obedient. Unfortunately, a chicken bone got stuck in its throat and it died."
Old Mrs. Luo looked even more gloomy and she sighed deeply.
Luo Xinxin...she shouldn't have asked!
I've never seen anyone compare himself to a dog. How stupid!
But she also felt sorry for her original self. Old Mrs. Luo would feel sad and sigh for a dog, but would not feel sad for her own granddaughter. This old lady was indeed very selfish.
"If you're so distressed, why don't you wear mourning clothes for your daughter?"
Luo Xinxin couldn't help but mock the original body.
Old Mrs. Luo was so angry that she wanted to teach her a lesson as an elder, but Luo Weian persuaded her to take a shower.
Luo Xinxin snorted coldly, took out a cucumber from her bag, and started chewing it.
She said so much, Deputy Commander Cui next door should be able to understand it, right?
Just now when she was taking a shower, the system told her that there was a bug in the room, and she understood what was going on.
Deputy Commander Cui must have been worried about the family and had them come to the guesthouse to monitor them.
Luo Xinxin simply took advantage of the situation and stated her needs. Even if the hat could not be taken off for a while, she must get the medal of merit and the bonus. She was not the kind of person who would be so noble as to not want anything. She must be given tangible benefits.
Cui Zhiguo, who was sitting next to me, took off his headphones and said with a smile, "If I don't give them medals and bonuses, who knows how they'll plot against me behind my back!"
"You might say the deputy commander is a miser."
Li Rong answered honestly.
The people around him all glanced at him, lowered their heads in silence, but in their hearts they were all complaining: "No wonder Shanghai doesn't want this guy, his mouth is really not that good, why does he always pick on people's weaknesses!"
Their Deputy Commander Cui is good in every way except that he is a stingy person, so everyone calls him a miser behind his back.
The smile on Deputy Commander Cui's face froze instantly. He looked at Li Rong with an indescribable look. He was such a good-looking young man, but he had a big mouth.
Originally, he had his eyes on Li Rong because he was so handsome. If he could get him to be his son-in-law, he might have a fair and beautiful granddaughter in the future.
As soon as this thought arose, he suppressed it.
His fair and pretty granddaughter is beautiful, but his life is more important. This boy is only suitable to be a subordinate, not a son-in-law. He is afraid of being angry to death.
Deputy Commander Cui did not meet the Luo family for lunch and arranged for other people to receive them. Three days later, the person in charge of receiving them gave them a red certificate with the steel stamp of the Northwest Military Region and a bonus of 200 yuan.
Li Rong drove them to the farm. It was a two-hour drive from the base to the farm. Luo Xinxin looked at the scenery outside the car window. There were tall poplar trees on both sides of the road. It was June now, and the trees were green and shady. Green mountains could be seen in the distance. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it is located at the foot of the Helan Mountains. It is said that in ancient times this place was called Jiangnan on the Saishang, and it was considered the most livable area in the northwest.
