Chapter 359: Reporting a Big News

No one knew about Yang Dongya's affairs except Zheng Lianfeng and his superiors.

Zheng Lianfeng would never tell anyone about this, so the military wives just assumed that Yang Dongya had not been found yet.

Without Yang Dongya's care, the four children became more and more independent.

Every day when they came back, Junzi and his two younger brothers collected firewood and fetched water, while Dani cooked and washed clothes.

Junzi and Dani studied very hard, and not only did they study themselves, they also supervised their younger brothers to study.

The military wives would come over from time to time to help the children, so Zheng Lianfeng basically didn't have to worry about the children.

But he did not choose to be a hands-off manager. When he had free time, he would cook and care about his children's studies.

Since Yang Dongya was no longer at home, Zheng Lianfeng simply divided up his own land and would go to work in the fields when he returned from the army at noon and in the afternoon.

Seeing how hard he works, the wives of the soldiers often lend him a hand.

Time flies and it is October 21st.

That day happened to be the last day of harvesting saline-alkali rice. Early in the morning, the soldiers' wives went to the fields to pick rice ears.

The work of harvesting is still done by soldiers and a few technicians.

Seeing the red waves of rice in the fields, everyone smiled!

"This rice is really high in yield. I know without weighing it that it is better than the rice I grew back home."

A soldier said happily.

The people beside him nodded in agreement, "This rice is indeed very productive, and I also heard that this rice can make a lot of rice porridge. One pound of rice can cook half a pot of porridge."

When they heard that one pound of rice could cook half a pot of porridge, the nearby soldiers were stunned.

"Dayao, are you telling the truth?"

Dayao nodded seriously, "It's true. The deputy head's sister-in-law received a letter from Pingzhou Island some time ago, and the letter said this."

Yao Hualin is Luo Qiaolan's man, and it was Luo Qiaolan who told him about this when she came back.

When the soldiers nearby heard that one pound of rice could cook half a pot of porridge, they became nervous.

"If we put two kilograms of this, wouldn't it be enough to cook a big pot?"

Not only can you save a lot of rice when cooking rice porridge with more rice, but you can also feel full after eating it. Who can refuse this?

For a moment, the people in the fields couldn't help but start to imagine what the scene would be like if this saline-alkali rice was fully grown in the future.

Does it mean that they will be able to eat this kind of rice in the future and won’t have to go hungry anymore?

Thinking of this, the people in the fields worked even harder.

It’s as if I can’t wait to harvest today and plant again tomorrow.

But this is the north, where they can only grow one crop a year. Even if they want to grow again, they have to wait until next year.

The men were working hard in the front, harvesting and moving rice.

The women and children were picking rice ears conscientiously behind them.

Little Zhaozhao and little Yanyan also put on little straw hats and followed their mother to help pick rice ears.

Little Yanyan didn't know whether he had sharp eyes or some special ability, but wherever he went, it was always clean.

Little Zhaozhao was different. After she finished picking up all the fruits, Erga and Maomao who followed her still had a lot to pick up.

Shen He also had a rest today, and he helped carry the rice.

He carried two or three hundred kilograms of rice easily, just like he was carrying cotton.

The soldiers in the army were accustomed to being abused by Shen He, and were no longer surprised by his divine power.

Although Ji Shancheng is not as powerful as Shen He, his performance is still outstanding among the soldiers.

However, Fang Zhirou's mentality has changed now. She is afraid that he will get tired from carrying too much at once, so she asks him to take it easy.

"Don't worry, daughter-in-law. I know what I'm doing."

Ji Shancheng is very satisfied with his current life. Although his wife can be fierce sometimes, she is very considerate most of the time.

In the past, he would not have dared to even think about it, but now he lives like this every day. How can he not be satisfied?

At the same time, Yue Xingping became more and more silent.

Xie Fangshu has been living in a separate room from him for two months.

This was something he had never dreamed of before, that they would actually come to this point.

Xie Fangshu no longer cared about what Yue Xingping and Tian Sumei were thinking.

She went out early and came back late every day. She spent most of her time either in the fields or in class, and rarely met the mother and son.

Not seeing each other means no quarreling.

Xie Fangshu's personality gradually returned to her former cheerful and funny self, and even her smile became bright and charming.

She smiled at everyone except Yue Xingping.

Seeing Xie Fangshu happily chatting with a young soldier, Yue Xingping almost broke his teeth.

"Fang Shu, how much did you pick up?"

Su Ranran has already picked a bag full of rice ears. She is now tired and hot and can hardly move.

The two babies went on strike early to play games with their older brothers and sisters.

Xie Fangshu shook the bag in her hand and said, "I only picked up half of it."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but complain about her son who was a greedy person.

"I think you should take him home and raise him as soon as possible, so that you don't have to call him sister all the time."

Su Ranran couldn't stop laughing.

"Okay, if you're willing, I'll take him home."

It was already time for lunch, and the two chatted and laughed as they packed up their things and prepared to go back home.

Shen He also came over at this time and took the things from Su Ranran's hand out of habit.

Yue Xingping also wanted to help Xie Fangshu, but Xie Fangshu didn't even look at him. She picked up her things, said goodbye to Erga and left.

On the way back, Xie Fangshu brought Erga, Su Ranran held Xiao Zhaozhao, and the two adults and two children walked in front.

Shen He followed behind, holding little Yanyan in one hand and a big bag in the other.

Yue Xingping had empty hands and looked at his daughter-in-law and son in front of him with complicated eyes.

The group just returned to the family compound.

Suddenly, the radio in the army sounded.

"ZhongY People's Radio Station, ZhongY People's Radio Station, now reporting a major news..."
