"Is Commander Lu shy?"
Su Miaoyan was slightly taken aback. "No, Lu Ting is rarely shy."
But that flushed face, isn't that just shyness?
Ma Yingchun seemed to be deep in thought.
That's what Su Miaoyan thought anyway. After filling all the dozen or so holes in front of her, Su Miaoyan took off her gloves, picked up the watering can next to her, and dripped a few drops onto each of the places where the seeds had been planted.
After doing all this, Su Miaoyan put the kettle aside.
Clap your hands, "All done, let's call it a day!"
As she got up to go back to the courtyard, Su Miaoyan asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go planting trees with me tomorrow?"
Ma Yingchun hesitated for a moment, "This, this..."
Su Miaoyan thought she was hesitating about signing up.
"Oh dear, look at my brain, I forgot that the political commissar has already left work today, and I missed the registration deadline."
Upon hearing this, Ma Yingchun knew that Su Miaoyan had misunderstood.
She explained, "Little sister, it's not because of that. I participated in this job before. Lao Wei had already signed me up, but I didn't go in the end."
"I hesitated because I had been there before and got sunburned, so I was scared."
In this era, although everyone felt that appearance was not important and that having the strength to work was the most important thing, loving beauty is human nature. Moreover, although everyone said that, the female soldiers in the cultural troupe were all beautiful, and only the beautiful ones were allowed in.
Appearance is still very important.
What everyone wants is a female comrade who is capable, good-looking, has a good family background, and is also good in terms of family background.
Basically, I want both.
Having served in the military region for so many years, Ma Yingchun had long understood this principle.
Su Miaoyan instantly understood what Ma Yingchun was worried about, and she said, "Sister-in-law, won't wearing a straw hat protect you from the sun?"
"The straw hat can only cover the face; the most important things are the arms and legs, and also, the temperature is high there."
Su Miaoyan nodded, "It's okay, I'll go even if that's the case."
These difficulties are nothing to worry about.
No one could stop her from collecting jade!
Ma Yingchun knew her determination and didn't intend to try to persuade her anymore.
She asked, "Girl, you'd better be careful not to get sunburned, or you'll easily become ugly."
It is said that fair skin can cover up a hundred flaws. Su Miaoyan was born with fair skin, and from a distance, she looked like a beauty who had stepped out of a landscape painting.
She was envious.
Su Miaoyan understood. "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I will be careful. Sister-in-law, are you really not coming with me to try planting some tomorrow?"
Ma Yingchun was afraid of getting a tan, but she would bring fruit and spring water with her. The spring water was definitely not for Ma Yingchun to drink directly. If people discovered its effects, she would probably be taken away for an autopsy.
Having been reborn, it's better to be more cautious.
The spring water wasn't good, but there was fruit.
Su Miaoyan had a vague feeling that fruit had a great effect.
Even if the fruit doesn't work, we can just add a few drops of spiritual spring water to ordinary water. Although it won't be as powerful as it is now, it will definitely be able to block ordinary ultraviolet rays.
Ma Yingchun was still a little hesitant, "Girl, aren't you afraid of getting sunburned?"
Su Miaoyan said confidently, "I'm not afraid."
Ma Yingchun thought that she had never been to the Gobi Desert and did not know the situation there, and that what she had just said was alarmist.
She sighed, thinking to herself that Commander Lu's wife was still too young.
But since they are neighbors, if she goes with the younger sister in case of an accident, she can find someone to carry her to the hospital.
After she learned her lesson, she figured that Su Meizi would definitely not plant trees again.
After thinking about it, Ma Yingchun finally nodded, "Okay, then I'll go with you tomorrow."
Su Miaoyan's eyes lit up. "Okay, after I get my tools, sister-in-law, let's meet at the registration office in the Gobi Desert."
"good."
The two chatted for a while longer. During this time, Su Miaoyan learned that Ma Yingchun had five siblings, and she was the eldest. The younger siblings were either in school or studying, and the family had a lot of expenses.
She married Wei Deyao through a blind date.
She was attracted to Wei Deyao's allowance, while Wei Deyao was attracted to her down-to-earth, capable, and thrifty nature.
The couple had a good relationship, but after being married for a long time, arguments were inevitable.
The two often argued about Ma Yingchun's family matters.
Ma Yingchun's parents favored sons over daughters. They always gave the best food and drinks to their youngest brother first, while their other daughters were just tools for them to exploit.
As for sending them to school, it's also to increase their self-worth so that they can ask for more dowry money when they get married in the future.
As the eldest sister in the family, Ma Yingchun was naturally the first to be sacrificed.
Actually, Ma Yingchun was lucky. At that time, Wei Deyao was getting on in years and wanted to settle down and start a family as soon as possible. He happened to be interested in Ma Yingchun as his first blind date.
Otherwise, given the nature of Ma Yingchun's parents, Ma Yingchun would probably end up marrying a divorced man with a child through a blind date, becoming a stepmother and working like a slave for him!
Su Miaoyan clicked her tongue in amazement, but didn't say much.
I just hope that Ma Yingchun can have a proper discussion with Wei Deyao about this matter.
After all, Wei Deyao is now a battalion commander, earning only eighty or ninety yuan a month. He has to send half of that back home every month. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was supporting a second wife!
Seeing that Ma Yingchun was still unaware that she was being exploited and was still working hard without complaint, Su Miaoyan sighed.
She looks a bit like her past life.
This is something you can only figure out for yourself.
All Su Miaoyan could do was exchange benefits.
She helped Ma Yingchun not only so that Ma could make some money, but also so that someone could keep watch and carry the jade when they were picking it up.
Ma Yingchun is the perfect candidate.
"Girl, I'm telling you this because I'm going through a lot. Thank you for listening to me finish today."
Su Miaoyan smiled and said, "It's alright, sister-in-law. But Battalion Commander Wei does have his own difficulties. After all, the whole family is relying on him, so the pressure is too great."
"Yes, I understand, but I... can't help it!"
This is her responsibility as the eldest sister.
Seeing this, Su Miaoyan didn't say anything more. After saying goodbye, the two returned to their respective courtyards.
Back in her room, Su Miaoyan carried the quilt and cotton wadding to the repaired wooden bed, patted the wadding off, and then collected the clothes, boiled water, and went to take a bath.
As usual, I added a few drops of spiritual spring water to the kettle.
That way, when Lu Ting returns, he can use diluted boiled water to relax his muscles.
As darkness fell, Lu Ting, carrying his belongings, returned to the courtyard under the cover of night.
Almost as soon as he stepped across the threshold, he subconsciously looked towards the corner of the wall.
Not seeing the person he wanted to see, Lu Ting guessed that she might be asleep.
Thinking this, I unconsciously lightened my pace.
But as soon as Lu Ting stepped through the door,
