They were covered in mud, and each soldier was holding a hoe and a winnowing basket in his hand.
It looks like they are digging. I don’t know what kind of project they are doing?
In the flower-growing countries, soldiers not only have to carry out military training, but also have to farm in peacetime, and are even responsible for repairing water conservancy projects and digging canals.
It can be said that as long as people need it, they can be seen providing free medical treatment every day.
Looking at the tall figure, covered with the red soil unique to this place.
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't take her eyes away.
But the man's face showed a majesty she had never seen before, and it was very different from the way he usually looked at her.
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but be stunned by that strange look.
But this powerful masculine charm made her heart beat faster.
The team was slowly moving towards them.
The neat formations and coordinated steps all show that this is a well-disciplined team.
And her man is among them!
Xu Jiaojiao had a wonderful feeling in her heart.
The little one in her arms was even more excited, shouting "Ahhh" at the team.
The two little feet were kicking happily.
If it weren't for the sling, Xu Jiaojiao doubted that she would be able to hold him.
"Be honest!"
Xu Jiaojiao patted his little butt and warned him.
But it was of no use, the little guy pedaled even more happily.
Xu Jiaojiao had no choice but to hold him in her arms and turned around so that he could see his father.
I don’t know if he really recognized which one was his father.
When the team came closer, Erbao's cries became louder.
Xu Jiaojiao raised her head and happened to meet those familiar eyes.
But after just one glance, he looked away again.
Just this one glance made Xu Jiaojiao purse her lips and smile.
He didn't move his eyes away, just stared at the person.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see the man’s ears turned a little red.
"Jiaojiao, your Captain Qin is so handsome." Lin Ziping couldn't help but praise him.
It's the same military uniform, but my man doesn't wear it so formally.
Xu Jiaojiao's lips were still curved, and she jokingly replied, "I agreed to marry him just because he's handsome."
Hearing this, Lin Ziping laughed and couldn't help but embarrass her.
"Hey, you are such a shameless little girl!"
Xu Jiaojiao wasn't embarrassed at all and just let her tease her.
On the contrary, the little one in his arms, seeing the military team walking away, became like a deflated ball, sluggish.
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh. How much does he like his father?
Usually when Qin Shuo comes back, Erbao sticks to him and can't be pulled away.
He has to be carried by his father and fly around for a few rounds before he is willing to come down and play by himself.
The eldest baby is more obedient. Most of the time he plays by himself on the bed or learns to crawl. He rarely makes trouble.
However, Qin Shuo was impartial. Every time he came back, he would take turns holding the two babies.
A few of them chatted for a while, and soon, those who were going to sell things in the team came back.
Xu Jiaojiao carried her baby on her back and followed a few military wives.
I followed their example and exchanged some eggs, mushrooms and mountain delicacies with the team members.
The people here are all ethnic minorities, and the policies are not as strict as outside.
When they buy something, they can pay directly.
Xu Jiaojiao originally came here just to join in the fun, but in the end, her own backpack was filled to the brim.
Others didn't buy as much as she did.
"Jiaojiao, what did you change?" Fang Xuetong was a little surprised.
This Xu Jiaojiao is more extravagant than her when it comes to buying things.
I live in a staff housing estate and my conditions are pretty good, but I still can't afford to buy a house like her.
"I saw there were matsutake mushrooms here, so I bought some more."
The price of Matsutake mushrooms became ridiculously expensive in later generations.
But these days, people can’t even get enough food to eat, so this thing is not that valuable.
It was only a little more expensive than ordinary mountain products, so Xu Jiaojiao bought some more.
Plus some ordinary mushrooms.
I bought a bunch of things here and there, and before I knew it, I had filled a whole basket.
Fortunately, they are all useful materials and not heavy to carry.
Fang Xuetong rummaged through her backpack, but couldn't understand anything she had bought.
"These are medicinal herbs. I happened to see them at a fellow villager's house, so I collected them together."
Fang Xuetong didn't understand it, so she was no longer curious.
Instead, a few others asked curiously.
"Jiaojiao, what is the effect of this medicine? Last time I had a sore throat, I soaked the wood root you gave me in water, and it was cured after just two drinks."
As a result, every time she goes up the mountain, she wants to pick some grass when she sees it, just in case she might need it.
"This is used to prepare medicine. It cannot be used alone. It is a bit toxic."
Xu Jiaojiao usually didn't hide anything. She was not reluctant to tell them about some herbal medicines that could reduce internal heat, or other things that could replenish the body.
So when she said this, no one else doubted it.
As soon as I heard it was a bit toxic, I lost interest.
They are not doctors, so it would be bad if something goes wrong with the food.
Chen Yuzhen on the side seemed a little absent-minded, with her brows slightly furrowed, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
She didn't collect much this time, not even many eggs.
It was as if he was just here to accompany me on this quest.
Fang Xuetong asked her about it, but she just said that she came here to learn the way and she didn't care anymore.
After buying things, they were about to go home.
Xu Jiaojiao carried the eldest child on her back. Fang Xuetong was holding the second child, so she just carried him on her back.
The little guy has become very familiar with these military wives, and anyone can carry him on his back, regardless of her.
He was jumping around with his legs wide open, looking very happy.
Xu Jiaojiao, who had just helped Fang Xuetong tie the baby straps, was both angry and amused, and slapped Erbao on the butt.
"Be honest and stop making trouble for your Aunt Fang."
Before the little guy did anything, Fang Xuetong came to his defense, "What kind of child is not naughty? The naughtier they are, the smarter they are."
"Mom, you are lying! You even called me a monkey!" The six-year-old Zhao Wenjin at the side said mercilessly!
"How can it be the same? If you were half as good-looking as Xiaozhi, I wouldn't be willing to beat you up!"
Fang Xuetong is a biological mother, and she is very good at talking when it comes to complaining about her own son!
Her son Zhao Kai is big and strong, and her son looks exactly like his father, with a chubby look.
It has absolutely nothing to do with good looks.
It’s a pity that his father gave him such a name. It doesn’t fit his appearance at all.
Xu Jiaojiao has become accustomed to the daily bickering between the mother and son and simply finds it hilarious.
"Go back quickly, the men will be back soon."
Lin Ziping greeted.
She had to go back quickly to cook for Li Jianjun. Although that man looked smiling on the outside, he had a bad temper.
"Right now."
Huang Qiulan responded and exchanged her backpack with Xu Jiaojiao's.
She didn't buy much and the items were light.
A few people had just packed their things and were about to leave when they suddenly heard a scream in the distance!
