Mrs. Qian, the know-it-all in the family compound, stood up immediately.
"Director Pan, can't we add a few more people? We have two little grandchildren, so who should my daughter-in-law take?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the sisters-in-law echoed them.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."
Director Pan reached out and pressed down.
"I know everyone wants to bring their children over to join in the fun, but you also have to understand the difficulties faced by the troops."
"The farm is now complete, but there are still more than ten lime pits on the farm."
"There are a lot of steel bars and tiles inside, and a fish pond covering more than ten acres has been dug in the orchard next to it."
"If someone leaves the child unattended and something happens to him, who will be held responsible?"
Upon hearing this, the sisters-in-law fell silent.
As a mother, you know your child's temperament very well.
It’s easier if the child is older, but it’s really hard to manage a child like this who is under seven or eight years old.
They can't just tie the children to their belts, can they?
Director Pan took in everyone's expressions, and as the saying goes, give a slap in the face and then give a sweet date.
After a pause, she continued, "The division leaders organized this activity out of consideration for us."
"If you ask me, let's just be hands-off and go out and have a good time every day."
"Children, housework, all are left to the men at home. It's time for them to experience the difficulties of being a military wife!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone responded.
Even the picky Mrs. Qian couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Director Pan is indeed an ideological worker. What he said to her was really like an old sow wearing a bra - one set after another!
Jiang Si was sitting next to them. When she heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Director Pan clapped his hands.
"Well, there is another good news to tell you..."
"What, there's good news?"
Director Pan didn't keep the question in suspense and went straight to the point.
Mrs. Qian was incredulous after hearing this. "Did I hear correctly? After the long table banquet, each family can get two cans of food, two bars of soap, and a pound of pork?"
Since she was asking this question directly to her, Jiang Si nodded and said, "Yes, Auntie, you heard it right."
"Oh, this is great." Mrs. Qian clapped her thigh and was very happy.
For a moment, the family compound was filled with joy.
Seeing that the groundwork was almost done, Director Pan spoke at the right time, "Everyone, listen to me for a few more seconds..."
That being said, she wasn't sure.
In the end, I had to bite the bullet and say, "The army has taken into account everything they can for this event, but it doesn't seem appropriate for so many of us to just go with our mouths."
"What I mean is, since it's not a long-table banquet, why don't we join in the fun? Each family can bring a special dish to add some color. What do you think?"
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Director Pan's mother-in-law, Aunt Xu, was the first to speak.
"I heard that the West Family Compound had already discussed it a long time ago, and every household has been busy these past two days."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like pouring cold water into a frying pan, and the sisters-in-law immediately became furious.
The West Family Compound was prepared early in the morning, so they couldn't just go there and eat for free.
If this were known over there, wouldn't they be laughed to death?
A sister-in-law immediately said, "That's a good idea. I feel embarrassed to eat only fresh food! I'll go back and make some pancakes later."
The person next to her was her fellow villager. "Then I'll steam some buns. The dough I knead is so soft and fluffy. My husband can eat three in one meal!"
"Great! Great! Then I'll make some kimchi and some shredded red ear mushrooms with red oil. I'll add more ma ga ga, and it'll taste really comfortable!"
"Oh my god, I have to make the whole thing. It smells so good, just make it!"
"Oh, it's not good to eat meat. It needs to be a little lighter. I'll make some Four Happiness Roasted Gluten. It's really delicious."
"Then I'll make some sweet glutinous rice and lotus root for dessert. It's sweet and sticky, and very delicious!"
“…”
In just a short while, the sisters-in-law listed a long list of dishes.
Jiang Si couldn't cook and couldn't say anything, but fortunately she had external help. She went back and told her mother-in-law about this.
When Mrs. Huo heard this, she thought it was something else. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
It’s just a matter of making a specialty dish. Leave it to her.
The next day, the weather was clear and crisp in autumn.
When Jiang Si woke up, Huo's mother had already packed the prepared meal in lunch boxes.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law changed into the same style of braid, packed up and joined the main group.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the celebration ceremony officially began as the bright red silk cloth on the farm plaque was unveiled.
In the morning, everyone went to visit Xiu's farm together.
I also went to the production workshop to see the canned food production process.
Just as everyone was enjoying this hard-earned good time.
On the other side, the men who stayed in the family compound.
At this moment, there is only one feeling, the sky is falling——
