Chapter 87 Ma Siqing thought about it and decided to wait for the school job.
In the evening, Tong Shiyu and Ma Siqing carefully planned the future. Ma Siqing asked Tong Shiyu if she could only work in the logistics department for a few months and then go to the school as a private teacher after the school was established. Would it have a bad impact? She
could only work in the logistics department for more than three months.
Tong Shiyu thought about it for a while and felt that it was indeed inappropriate.
He went to find Chen Xiaowei overnight. After listening to Tong Shiyu's words, Chen Xiaowei also felt that changing jobs too frequently was not good for Ma Siqing. She
originally went to the logistics department through connections, and she would leave after working for a few months. The logistics department needed stable people.
She told Tong Shiyu that he would explain to the head of the logistics department.
Early the next morning, Ma Siqing got up and made breakfast.
After eating with Tong Shiyu, Ma Siqing said she was going to pick up firewood and send Tong Shiyu off on the way. The two talked and laughed, pushing the cart side by side on the way to the troops.
Tong Shiyu went to the training ground, and Ma Siqing went to the forest farm mountain by herself.
Chen Xiaowei was in the logistics department, and told the logistics director Li Shiqiang that the sister-in-law he wanted to introduce to the logistics department would not come to the logistics department to help for personal reasons, and apologized directly.
Li Shiqiang was a straightforward person, and he said it was okay, and told Chen Xiaowei that if any sister-in-law was free, they could come to the logistics department to help.
The daughter-in-law of Hong Haitao's family, who lived in the same yard as Ma Siqing, also worked in the logistics department.
Yesterday, I learned that Ma Siqing would also come to work in the logistics department. Now she is gossiping with several other military families in the logistics department.
She exaggerated that Ma Siqing married Captain Tong for the second time. I don’t know if she drugged Captain Tong.
Otherwise, Captain Tong has such good conditions, why would he marry a second-married wife.
Some military families are not gossipers. After hearing Hong Haitao’s wife say bad things behind her back, they took the opportunity to stay away from her.
There were also a few busybodies who got involved.
When the director of logistics came to inspect the work, he found a group of people gathered together to say bad things about others, and he was very angry.
"We are all revolutionary comrades, why are you nobler than others? She can still marry a regiment commander after divorce, why don't you marry a regiment commander after divorce?"
"Only people with no ability have time to talk about others every day, people with ability are not as idle as you."
"Everyone should work, we are in the army, we are here to protect our country, not to quarrel with each other."
Li Shiqiang's wife is a railway worker who married him after divorce.
After graduating from high school, his wife was assigned to work in the Anling Railway Department. When she was old enough, she married a man who was a private teacher in the neighboring province.
Because they were together less and more in the Anling Railway Department, she divorced her ex-husband.
She brought her daughter with her and married Li Shiqiang for the second time through an introduction.
In Li Shiqiang's eyes, there is no woman better than his wife. He
divorced her not because she did something wrong or was a bad person, but because she gave birth to a daughter and her job was far from home.
So Li Shiqiang couldn't stand people talking about the bad things about a remarried woman.
Hong Haitao's wife muttered, "She's a vixen, making trouble wherever she goes. She's only been in the army for a few days, and the logistics chief has spoken well of her."
But this time, no one paid attention to her.
After a period of military life, Ma Siqing became tougher.
She borrowed a saw from Cheng Fuqing and went to the slope with it.
There was still a lot of firewood on the slope where she was almost in danger last time.
Seeing that no one was around, Ma Siqing took out the same firewood from the space and piled it on the cart.
Today she piled the firewood very high because Tong Shiyu said that he would help Ma Siqing push the cart when he came back at noon.
Ma Siqing thought about getting more firewood.
Seeing the high pile of firewood, Ma Siqing felt that this day was very promising.
At noon, Tong Shiyu really found this place and was a little unbelievable to see that Ma Siqing had chopped so much firewood in the morning.
"Brother Shiyu, there are hunter traps nearby. Do you think there might be pheasants or wild boars?"
"The workers at the forest farm caught a wild boar last year. It was very big. It took more than ten people to hold it down."
"There are pheasants sometimes. But, Siqing, don't think about getting those. It's not safe. There are bears here!"
"Well, I won't go too far. I'll just stay here and store enough firewood and wait for spring to come."
"Okay, I'll help when I get back. Let's store it together."
Tong Shiyu was pulling the cart in front, and Ma Siqing was pushing it in the back.
There were more downhill roads, so they could walk much faster.
Ma Siqing returned the saw to Cheng Fuqing and said thank you politely. Cheng Fuqing greeted the two of them and wanted to invite them to dinner, but he felt it was inappropriate.
When the two of them pulled the cart into the military compound, many people saw them.
Some women were laughing at Ma Siqing, saying that being pretty was useless, as she still had to do the rough work.
Some women were envious of Ma Siqing, who was pretty and had a considerate husband. The point was that a woman who was married for the second time could marry a regiment leader, while she had been stuck at the position of squad leader for several or ten years, with no hope of promotion.
Some women were cursing Ma Siqing in their hearts, asking why she was so diligent, as it made them look so lazy.
Tong Shiyu helped pull the firewood under the eaves, and the two of them stacked the firewood neatly at the base of the wall.
The military compound where Ma Siqing and her friends lived was a barracks built by the troops themselves, with bungalows made of mud walls and two-story buildings made of red bricks.
When Tong Shiyu was promoted to the head of the regiment, the army assigned him this residence and did not allow him to live in the barracks dormitory.
Fortunately, he was assigned a residence, otherwise he would not dare to bring Ma Siqing to the army.
Ma Siqing's house is connected to Zhong Guofan's house, and Ma Siqing's house is at the front.
Therefore, Ma Siqing's house can stack firewood on three walls.
This house is low, and it can't stack too much. It's
almost full on the three walls.
Tong Shiyu asked Ma Siqing to rest while he went to make lunch.
There are still some buns from last night, just steam them again.
Ma Siqing looked at the bucket she had placed under the eaves, and found that the ice had already frozen.
She went into the house, got a pot of boiling water from the stove, and separated the bucket from the ice.
She then used a small iron shovel to trim the inside of the bucket and put the "ice cabinet" in place. She
originally wanted to put it outside, but after thinking about it, she decided that it would be safer to move it to the kitchen.
Tong Shiyu is a rough man and doesn't like to keep accounts. He gave all of this month's allowance to Ma Siqing.
Other ordinary workers get 30 yuan a month, which is almost enough for one person. He didn't raise the salary this time, but the allowance is more than 80 yuan, which should be enough for me.
At lunch, Tong Shiyu told Ma Siqing not to be reluctant to spend money and asked her to buy more meat.
Ma Siqing nodded in agreement.
In the afternoon, Tong Shiyu went to the camp, and Ma Siqing was at home cleaning up the house.
She took out the meat and put it in the natural freezer that had just been built.
She put the pears under the eaves and prepared to make frozen pears.
Ma Siqing missed the taste of frozen pears.
Especially that year, the love story of the Northeastern frozen pear and the southern small potato swept the entire Internet, making her want to eat frozen pears even more.
While busy, Tong Shiyu came back from work.
