Chapter 24: Strength in Numbers



"Uncle, are you home?"

Zhang Xiangnan was making fried meat for his wife at home today, figuring out how to make it himself.

My wife loved the fried meat that Uncle Hua gave her that day so much that she had no appetite for anything else.

The food he fries tastes different.

Logically speaking, food fresh out of the pot must be better than cold food.

It's crispy enough when it's just out of the pan, but it doesn't have that fragrant taste when you chew it in your mouth.

He came to Hua's house shamelessly despite his wife's objection.

Wow, when I walked in, I saw that they were doing something big!

Hua Yuanyuan was holding the wood while Hua Youcai was filling the soil.

"Xiao Zhang is here, come in quickly."

Hua Youcai was greeting guests while using the shovel in his hand.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

"Let's build a shed and grow some vegetables."

Zhang Xiangnan figured out what to do and went straight to call Fang Dayong and others to come over for help.

Several of their family members rented houses in the village, and with special permission they were allowed to go home and stay for one night on Saturday and return to the team on Sunday night.

Hua Youcai did not refuse. People were kind enough to come and help, and more people would get the job done faster.

His daughter and son helped out, but he still had to make the final decision.

Xiao Zhang and the others can also help with some ideas.

Fang Dayong and his friends had nothing to do at home, so they spent time with their wives and children.

When I heard that I had to help Uncle Hua with work, I changed into work clothes and went out.

Wang Fugui walked halfway when he remembered something and stopped walking.

"Wait, go call Hao Li!"

Without waiting for them to speak, Wang Fugui acted like a thief. He only spoke when he saw that there was no one on the road.

"Isn't Uncle Hua's daughter divorced? Hao Li is also single, give him a chance."

Fang Dayong slapped him on the shoulder with courage: "You are just making it up. There is no way they are together."

Wang Fugui was kicked in the head by a donkey. What was Captain Wang thinking when he told Hao Li about his wife whom he just divorced and didn't want anymore?

Liu Jianye chuckled, "Hao Li is already 33 years old, the age difference is a bit big."

No one knew what Zhang Xiangnan was thinking. There was something going on here that none of them knew about.

When he went to the political commissar's house to pay New Year's greetings a few days ago, there were a few suitable girls who wanted to introduce them to some single officers.

From what they said, it seemed that the girls had a good impression of Captain Wang, but Hao Li was not quite as fond of him.

It is an open secret that Wang Changjiang’s divorce report approved this.

It was just a little bit of interest at first, but once we met, that interest was gone.

Hao Li is a broken jar...

"Okay, go call him over. But let's not talk about this. Uncle Hua has no intention of showing his daughter the man."

While having dinner on the second day of the Chinese New Year, Uncle Hua said that his daughter would not look for a partner for the time being.

Hao Li was forcibly dragged here by Wang Fugui, who said he was going to help with the work.

When I came and took a look, I saw that they were indeed helping with the work.

Five strong laborers, led by Hua Youcai, worked very quickly.

Hua Fangfang was helping her sister in the house. For lunch, there was a stew of cabbage, potatoes and meat slices.

I didn’t waste any time at lunch. I finished my meal in ten minutes and then continued working.

At 3:50 pm, all the work was done.

There were two neatly arranged greenhouses in the yard. After someone took a look around inside and outside, he was simply satisfied.

It is the simplest and lowest cost greenhouse.

Hua Yuanyuan was so happy that her heart was filled with joy. She was so satisfied.

Hua Youcai was even more satisfied than his daughter. They would never be able to achieve such results by themselves.

After lunch, Hua Yuanyuan was not idle and started to cook dinner.

Just have a simple meal at noon and have a bigger meal at night.

It’s really because the ingredients at home are limited, which affects my performance.

Chicken stewed with potatoes, fried peanuts, stir-fried cabbage with meat, a plate of shredded kelp, a plate of dried shrimps, and the staple food is fried pancakes.

There was no wine on the table.

We are all soldiers, and we don't know what the rules of the army are. Others came to help with good intentions, but something bad happened because of drinking.

Hua Yuanyuan demonstrated how to eat it by rolling green onions and dried shrimps into the fried pancake.

No wonder they were surprised, as it was the first time they saw this dish of dried shrimp.

After she finished a burrito, she left the table and went back to her room. We didn't need her here, and my brother could do it.

When I arrived at the space, I lay down on the bed to have a rest. Fortunately, the bamboo strips arrived yesterday, so I was able to complete the task today.

Take a break and sort the seeds first.

The varieties planted in the greenhouse must match those she plants in her space, so that it will be easier to operate later.

Then continue to prepare the land and plant wheat.

The wheat that was previously in poor condition and the lush wheat seedlings are a joy to look at.

·

At 4:30, Hao Li and his friends finished their meal and left.

He glanced casually at the only room with curtains, which were drawn tightly.

"Thank you for your hard work today. Come to my house when you have time."

"Uncle Hua, you're welcome. This meal cost you a lot."

Zhang Xiangnan held a hot oil-paper bag in his arms and ate it at the same time.

"Xiao Zhang, come over anytime if you need anything."

"Uncle Hua, I'm not being polite with you."

Hua Youcai sent the person away and wandered around the greenhouse for a long time.

·

Zhang Xiangnan shamelessly wrapped two pancakes for his wife. They tasted really delicious and his wife must have liked them too.

Wang Fugui and his family didn't want them. Uncle Hua asked them to invite their wives and children to come for dinner, but they didn't feel comfortable doing that.

"Captain Wang's wife is so pretty! Why are you talking like a tigress?"

"Are you still staring at the girl?"

"Whoever stared at him, just glanced at him! My wife said that she met him while she was driving in the mountains and talked to him. She said he was very handsome."

"She is no longer Captain Wang's wife. We have divorced. When you were crying at the door, didn't Captain Wang borrow money from you?"
