Jiang Mengxue was startled by this behavior and took a step back unconsciously.
The village chief also heard what Zhao Laoer said and explained, "Zhao Laoer is very grateful to you for helping his family solve this big problem. This money is very important to his family and can save their lives.
But he is old, and it is not good for him to kneel down and kowtow to you, so he lets his grandson kowtow to thank you.
Well, this matter is really important to his family, so you can handle it, don't worry, they are just thanking you."
Jiang Mengxue couldn't explain what she was feeling. It was clearly just something she did casually, which was optional for her, but it was a life-saving act for Zhao Laoer's family.
Seeing that they had so much stuff and it was difficult to carry it, the village chief asked his son to drive a ox cart to take them back to the army.
It was not until Jiang Mengxue and the others had left the village for some distance that Zhao Laoer ran towards this side desperately.
It was not until she got close that Jiang Mengxue realized he was carrying a large bag of things. When she put it on the ox cart, she found out it was a bag of vegetables with everything in it.
After the explanation from the village chief's son, Jiang Mengxue realized that Zhao Laoer's family did not have much private land, and part of it was used to grow staple food. This bag of vegetables might be all his family could produce at the moment.
In his other hand, he was holding a small basket filled with more than a dozen eggs, all laid by his own chickens.
Jiang Mengxue told him that she didn't understand, so she could only use her actions to tell him that he didn't need to give her the things and should take them back.
The village chief's son was also trying to explain, but Zhao Laoer insisted on sending it.
In the end, Jiang Mengxue had no choice but to keep the vegetables and refused to take the eggs.
He has two children at home. Now that the ewe has been sold, there is no goat milk to nourish the children, so eating some eggs would be good.
The two of them talked and gestured, with an interpreter beside them. Finally, Zhao Laoer gave up and watched the ox cart leave while holding the eggs.
Even Liu Shuxia couldn't help but sigh: "Ah, it's all due to a miserable life."
That’s right. If the family really couldn’t make ends meet, they would never be willing to sell the livestock.
Not to mention selling sheep, even a chicken is an important property of the family.
Moreover, considering Zhao Laoer’s age, he still has to support his grandchildren, and it is unclear how the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren will live in the future.
"Uncle Zhao is fifty years old this year. If his son Zhuzi hadn't fallen ill and passed away, our family wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."
Several people looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
Because Zhao Laoer doesn't look like a fifty-year-old at all. Not to mention those far away, Gu Zhenxing and Gu Zhenjiang are a few years older than him but don't look that old.
If Gu Zhenjiang doesn't look that old because he sits in the office all year round, then Gu Zhenxing is also a farmer and looks like an old man.
But Zhao Laoer looked weathered and had wrinkles all over his face, like a man in his seventies or eighties.
At first, Jiang Mengxue thought the child he was holding was his great-grandson.
But it seems normal when you think about it. The ultraviolet rays in the northwest are extremely strong, and coupled with the constant wind and sand, the wind and sun will make you look older.
Since Jiang Mengxue got old, she has also started wearing a scarf in the northwest and spraying sunscreen like it's free.
I didn’t take skin care seriously before, but after coming here, I treat my face and body without skipping any steps.
They looked at each other, and saw that everyone's hands unconsciously touched their cheeks, and they smiled at each other.
The ox cart arrived soon after it started shaking. When Jiang Mengxue led the two sheep home, Gu Qingbei and Mo Bao were stunned.
"Wife, where did the sheep come from?"
Jiang Mengxue told the story again, and Gu Qingbei nodded without saying much. It was a good thing to help others.
As for these two sheep, if I don’t want to raise them, I can just send them to the team’s flock and raise them together. It’s not a big deal.
"Then I'll use something to fence off an area for the sheep pen. I'll go out on my bike and cut some grass to feed the sheep tonight. Tomorrow I'll have Dahei drive them out to feed the sheep."
He did it right away and went out to find materials to build a sheep pen.
Jiang Mengxue also wanted to let Dahei shepherd the sheep.
At this moment, Dahei had awakened some talents. When the two sheep just came back, he lay on the ground and drove them into the corner.
The roundabout tactics seemed to be learned from those sheepdogs. The posture was very sophisticated. I wonder if they were helping to herd sheep today.
"Did you hear that, Dahei? From now on, these two sheep are in your care. Every morning after breakfast, drive them out to graze, and bring them back before dark. Don't lose them."
Dahei was very excited and agreed without any hesitation.
It was still staring at the two sheep fanatically, Jiang Mengxue was afraid that it would rush over and bite the sheep's necks in the next second.
While having dinner in the evening, I heard Lu Zhengming talk about the marriage report.
With the marriage report, you can go and get a marriage certificate.
Although few people get a marriage certificate nowadays, the saying still applies: without a marriage certificate, the marriage will not be protected.
"We plan to go get the certificates while I'm on vacation in a few days and set up a few tables in the cafeteria."
Lu Zhengming didn't want to get married only once in his life and have nothing. Even if they didn't have a wedding reception or a wedding banquet, there had to be a wedding banquet.
Gu Qingbei promised to prepare some delicious dishes for him and that the wedding banquet should not be too shabby.
Although Lu Zhengming didn't know what channels Gu Qingbei had, he knew that since he had agreed, this matter must be reliable.
After Han Siyue decided to marry Lu Zhengming, she called home. Her family said they would send her the dowry they had prepared for her, and she should have received it in the next two days.
After dinner, Gu Qingbei took Mo Bao out for a walk, leaving Jiang Mengxue and Han Siyue at home to chat.
"I've submitted my transfer application, and now my marriage application has been approved, so the transfer should go much more smoothly."
I have said before that if family members with jobs come to accompany the army, their jobs can be transferred here.
Logically speaking, Jiang Mengxue could also be assigned work, but she simply didn't want to go to work for the time being.
Mobao is still young and has difficulty walking by himself. She can't always take the child to work with her.
She thought that she was not strong enough yet, and the result of being distracted on both sides would be that she would not be able to accomplish anything, so she would consider this matter later.
"Well, I used to think it didn't matter whether or not to get a marriage certificate. For example, a few soldiers in the past had marriage certificates. It's only in recent years that people have become so particular about it.
But it was only after hearing what Da Liu's sister-in-law said that I decided to get a marriage certificate."
Liu Shuxia and Liu Qiuxia are sisters, so people in the family compound have always called them Big Liu and Little Liu.
Jiang Mengxue was puzzled. How come she didn't know what was going on with Liu Shuxia?
"What's wrong with her? How did you know?"
Han Siyue instantly became excited when talking about this.
"Sister-in-law, you often chat with other military wives so you don't know, let me tell you..."
Then Jiang Mengxue learned the whole story from Han Siyue's passionate words.
