Chapter 50 You’ll Know After Trying It
Lu Haiyan didn't even order any of the dishes and just ran away.
The rest of the people received vegetables, and they all looked very happy. Why would anyone pay attention to her?
Besides, who would have thought that if she hadn't misled them?
The new military wife is not only good-looking, but also very generous. She gave me a big bundle of vegetables as a gift.
This also makes Lu Haiyan's malicious speculation even more ridiculous.
On the second day of joining the army, Su Ranran became the center of attention with just a bundle of vegetables.
They are always grateful for what they have received and they are always overwhelmed with kindness. Even if they get a handful of vegetables for free, they will say nice things to them as if they are free.
Su Ranran just listened to their enthusiasm and didn't take it to heart.
If you can win people’s hearts with a bundle of vegetables, they can also be won over by other things.
But if it can slap Lu Haiyan in the face and clear my own name, then this bundle of vegetables is worth the money.
After the crowd dispersed, Zhong Juhua said to Su Ranran: "Ranran, are you going to Wanwan Base?"
After spending time together yesterday, the two of them had already started calling each other by their first names, and no longer used the same old sister-in-law attitude.
"Okay, wait for me."
Zhong Juhua is a righteous person, and Su Ranran is happy to be friends with her.
When she got home, she collected the grass seeds, took out a straw hat, a dustpan and a hoe, and then went out.
Outside the door, Zhong Juhua was already ready, and Lin Qiulian was beside her.
She also got a handful of vegetables.
She already had a good impression of Su Ranran, and now she was even more enthusiastic.
The three of them chatted and laughed together and went to the Wanwan base.
As they walked, Lin Qiulian talked about the gossip she heard in the morning.
"Do you remember the mother and daughter yesterday?"
When she heard the gossip, Zhong Juhua immediately became excited.
"How are they?"
After getting off the bus yesterday, the mother and daughter were taken away. They didn't even know her name.
"She is really the daughter-in-law of Zhang Xinrong, the commander of the Second Company of the First Battalion. Her name is Wang Chunmei. I heard that she was severely beaten by her mother-in-law and could not live like this anymore, so she ran here."
Zhong Juhua: ...
"I remember Zhang Xinrong is from Northwest China, right?"
It is hard to imagine that his wife, such a timid woman, dared to drive such a long distance to come here.
No wonder he looked like a frightened bird. I wonder what he went through on the road?
"He's from the northwest. I rarely see him go home."
Those who are in the army and whose wives are not around, would like to fly back home directly when they have a holiday.
How could it be like him? He hasn't come back in years.
He didn't reply and I never heard him mention his wife.
"She's also a woman with a miserable life." Zhong Juhua felt suffocated just by listening to Lin Qiulian's words.
The husband doesn't love her, and the mother-in-law still tortures her. No one can live like this.
Fortunately, she was lucky and really found this place.
Su Ranran couldn't even imagine what kind of perseverance a country woman needed to cross half the country and find Pingzhou Island in such an era of backward communications?
It is not difficult to understand why she did not allow the girl to talk to her yesterday.
"I heard that there are two more sons at home, and the mother-in-law is watching them closely, so she can't take them away."
Lin Qiulian got more gossip information this time than Zhong Juhua, and added.
Zhong Juhua ate such a melon early in the morning and couldn't help but sigh.
Soon, the three arrived at the Bend Base.
The Wanwan Base is a vegetable base transformed from soil transported from land by soldiers.
Because it is difficult to transport soil, the scale of the curved base is not large.
The amount of land allocated to each family was pitifully small, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as the size of a palm.
But for this vegetable desert island, this little bit of green is already precious.
You know, the tables of the soldiers and civilians on the island are always filled with kelp, vermicelli, bean curd and pumpkin. The islanders lack vitamin supplements all year round, and their mouths are prone to ulcers.
Therefore, everyone treats this curved base like a treasure.
They wanted to use all their skills to grow juicy vegetables on a palm-sized piece of land.
However, I don’t know if it’s because of the sand underneath, the yield of vegetables is very low, not to mention the freshness of the soil.
With the help of Zhong Juhua, Su Ranran quickly found her own pocket-sized vegetable plot.
And the one next to her happened to be Zhong Juhua's.
I saw that her vegetable garden was already full of neatly grown rows of green vegetables. Compared with other sparsely planted vegetable gardens, Zhong Juhua's was undoubtedly superior.
"Juhua, you grow these vegetables really well." Su Ranran praised sincerely.
Being able to grow all the vegetables under such conditions and make them grow well shows that he is really capable.
"It's OK. I'll just take care of them in the field when I have nothing else to do. If they don't grow well, it would be a shame for my hard work."
When talking about her beloved vegetable garden, Zhong Juhua's face was full of pride, and it was obvious that she was extremely satisfied with her achievements.
Su Ranran also started to till her own vegetable patch.
Just now on the road, Zhong Juhua had already shared her experience with her.
Knowing that the soil here was thin and couldn't be dug deep, she didn't dare to use too much force.
After Zhong Juhua pulled out a few grass sprouts that had just emerged in her vegetable patch, she turned around and started digging the ground for Su Ranran.
She is indeed an experienced vegetable grower on the island, and she digs the ground quickly and well.
It didn't take long before Su Ranran's small vegetable patch was turned over.
Su Ranran took out the vegetable seeds she had prepared long ago.
These vegetable seeds are grown in space using ordinary vegetables.
Before experimenting outside to see how they would grow, Su Ranran mixed them with half of the other ordinary vegetables and planted them in a patch.
"Ranran, what kind of vegetables do you grow?"
Seeing that she was about to sow rapeseed, Zhong Juhua asked curiously.
"I'm planting some chrysanthemums and Chinese cabbage. Here are the seeds I brought. Would you like some?"
Su Ranran spread out her rapeseed stall for her to see.
"Ranran, the rapeseed you brought looks really delicious." Zhong Juhua said with envy.
"What's the point of having good rapeseed? Not all vegetables can be grown here."
Suddenly, a somewhat sarcastic voice came from the door.
Su Ranran looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a floral dress carrying an exquisite vegetable basket into the vegetable garden.
With her exquisite attire, someone who didn't know her would think she was on vacation instead of working in the fields.
This kind of exquisiteness is very familiar to Su Ranran, who comes from Haishi.
Considering what Shen He told her last night, it is not difficult to guess that this person is Liu Hong, the wife of Yan Yixing, the second-in-command of Haidao.
"We have to try it to know whether it can be planted or not." Su Ranran retracted her gaze and said in a faint voice.
Liu Hong, who had just walked into the base, saw Su Ranran, who had just been blocked by Zhong Juhua.
At one glance, she was stunned.
