Summer has passed, autumn has only come for a brief moment, and winter is about to come.
Song Shuxi has been busy preparing supplies for the winter recently.
The firewood and honeycomb coal for the house were prepared by Sun Tieshan and the young soldiers.
Song Shuqian was very embarrassed. "Thank you for coming to help, otherwise I don't know what to do. Wait for Wei Jianguo to come back, and you can come over for dinner. I prepared a lot of mutton this year, and we will have mutton hotpot then.
Wei Jianguo asked me to prepare these dried meats. He said that you guys train hard every day, so you need to eat more meat to replenish your body. This stuff is easy to carry and not difficult to eat. "
Sun Tieshan was a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. This is nothing for us, not even half of our usual training."
Song Shuqian stuffed the bag with things in them and said, "This is prepared for you in advance. We started preparing it in the summer. Wei Jianguo said that you usually train hard and you need to replenish yourself in the winter. Dried meat is easy to carry and can quickly replenish your nutrition."
"Then, sister-in-law, we won't accept it."
"Take it now, don't be polite. If you need any help in the future, just ask Wei Jianguo. You are brothers who have been through life and death together, so don't be so formal."
After seeing the two off, Song Shuqian closed the gate and ran back home.
The temperature has dropped recently, so it’s time to wear a cotton jacket.
The two young soldiers were very happy and said to Sun Tieshan, "Song's wife is so nice. She always smiles when she sees us and never turns her face away from us. Every time we help her, she never lets us leave empty-handed.
The last time I went there, my sister-in-law didn't prepare anything and just gave me a handful of candy. The last time, she gave me some cakes she brought back from Sijiu City."
Another said, "My sister-in-law is a very nice person. My mother was in the hospital and I didn't have enough money, so she paid for it. When I went to pay her back, my sister-in-law was worried that I didn't have enough money, so she told me to keep the money to buy some nutritional supplements for my mother and to pay her back after she has fully recovered."
Listening to what these people said, Sun Tieshan once again envied Wei Jianguo. Although he was away for a year, no one had forgotten him.
Song Shuqian would ask everyone for small favors from time to time and give them gifts of thanks. Every thank-you gift is never stingy, it’s just food and drinks that everyone needs and are not expensive.
From what he said, it was clear that Wei Jianguo was thinking about his brothers, so he wrote back and asked her to prepare something for everyone.
Wei Jianguo won the hearts of the people without doing anything.
Sun Tieshan has been looking for a wife according to Song Shuqian's standards, but he still hasn't found one.
Wei Jianguo, who was far away in Shijiazhuang, had just finished an exercise and was lying in bed thinking about his wife.
Wei Jianguo performed very well in this exercise and won second place.
The first was a regimental commander of the South Island Military Region, who had made great military achievements. After the exercise, he went to the battlefield to assist the country of rice and spices.
Wei Jianguo wanted to communicate with him privately, but he didn't even have the chance.
He looked at the starry sky and wished the captain a safe return.
I hope we can have the opportunity to work together in the future.
Liu Xinguo heard him tossing and turning and asked, "Old Wei, you can't sleep either?"
This sound woke up the other two people in the dormitory who were pretending to be asleep, "We can't sleep either."
There were four people in a dormitory. They couldn't sleep, so they got up together to look at the stars.
None of the four men spoke, and they all wished their brothers on the battlefield safety.

Song Shuxi has been a little busy lately. She is the only one working on the farm this year and didn't grow much. The current harvest is all thanks to the secret release of the spiritual liquid.
But now harvesting the vegetables has become a problem.
To her shame, she hasn't learned how to farm after four years of marriage.
Just when they were at a loss, Sister Feng and Sister Ding came with a few sisters-in-law to help. "I guessed that you didn't clean up. It's just a small job, so we'll help you clean it up."
Song Shuqian breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm really sorry to bother you sisters-in-law. Don't be afraid of being laughed at by everyone, but I'm really not good at this. I obviously studied hard, but I just did it carelessly."
The sisters-in-law said, "Why are you being so polite? It's just something I did on the side. Did you grow sweet potatoes?"
"It's sweet potatoes. Wei Jianguo is not here, so I can't do a lot of work. So I went to consult with my fellow villagers, and they said sweet potatoes are the easiest to grow and don't require too much fertilizer or water, so I planted them."
The fact is, Song Shuxi never applied any fertilizer, only watered the plants.
The sisters-in-law worked very efficiently. It took four people less than an hour to harvest one mu of sweet potatoes.
They also borrowed a cart to help Song Shuxi send the sweet potatoes back.
Tiantian finished cleaning up her own land and came over to help, and then she met them on their way back. Come quickly and help push the cart.
"Have you finished collecting all of them?"
Song Shuqian smiled happily, "The harvest is over, thanks to the help of several sisters-in-law. When the autumn harvest is over, I will host a few sisters-in-law to come over for dinner to celebrate this year's harvest. All sisters-in-law must come, Tiantian, come and help me cook."
“I didn’t ask.”
After returning home, Song Shuxi thanked her sisters-in-law for their kindness again and placed the sweet potatoes in the backyard.
That night she made candied sweet potatoes and sweet potato cakes.
The two children didn't even raise their heads while eating, and kept saying that the food was delicious, especially the sugar-coated sweet potato, which really touched their hearts.
With the help of her sisters-in-law and Tiantian, Song Shuxi not only harvested all the vegetables for the family, but also prepared the family's food reserves.
She prepared a lot, enough for their family to eat for two winters.
They were all bought from the village below.
Because they always go there to buy things, the village near the family compound has become a well-known wealthy village.
Song Shuxi didn't seem to have bought enough. There were too few dried seafood this year, and there were very few dried abalone and sea cucumbers.
Out of curiosity, she paid more attention to the situation, and discovered some problems.
There were two men with strange accents who bought these things and offered a very high price, three times that of the county purchasing station.
This is very abnormal.
In her past and present lives, Song Shuxi had never come into contact with any extremely evil people, nor did she have the ability to investigate such matters.
She was worried that if an outsider intervened rashly, it would alert the enemy. I didn't dare hide it, for fear that something was really wrong.
At this time, I missed Wei Jianguo very much. If he were here, I would just tell him about the matter and I wouldn't have to worry about it.
As a second best option, Liu Xinguo can be here too, he can be trusted.
What to do now, Song Shuxi is bald.
