"Oh, she went to the county town with her boyfriend to buy wedding supplies."
As she said this, Lin Meimei had a smile on her face, and it seemed that she was very satisfied with her sister's marriage.
"What? Your sister's getting married? So soon? Who's the groom? Do we know him?"
Chen Sufeng was incredibly curious. Lin Meimei looked at everyone and said to them.
"Don't be impatient, everyone. You'll find out soon enough. Come and have some wedding candy."
Lin Meimei took out the wedding candy, and everyone then realized that it was White Rabbit milk candy, which looked to weigh about a pound. They thought to themselves, "How generous!"
Who exactly is the man? Which person in their military region is he? After thinking about it for a while, no one could come to a conclusion, so they just focused on enjoying the sweet moments.
In the days that followed, Ye Zhaozhao would go to the cafeteria from time to time. As she went more often, she realized that what was lacking was not only meat, but also grains and vegetables.
She remembered that there was wasteland in the family compound. If this land could be utilized, the military region would definitely not lack food, and everyone would be able to eat their fill.
These days, it's too difficult to feed everyone. When Gu Yunduan came in after taking a shower, she saw Ye Zhaozhao with a worried look on her face.
"Honey, what are you thinking about?"
Ye Zhaozhao then explained the matter of the wasteland, and Gu Yunduan also thought it was a good idea, so they made a decision on the spot.
“Wife, I’ll take you to the military region tomorrow, and you can talk to Commander Zhu yourself.”
"Gu Yunduan, can I do this?"
"Absolutely, if you can't do it, no one else can."
That night, Gu Yunduan proved to the world that his wife was capable.
Ye Zhaozhao woke up the next day with her face covered; she blushed whenever she thought about the previous night.
I never would have guessed that Gu Yunduan, who appears so serious on the surface, actually knows so much. After getting up and getting ready, I followed Gu Yunduan to the military region.
"Comrade Ye Zhaozhao, is your idea to grow grain on these wastelands?"
"Yes, Commander Zhu, we still need to solve the problem at its root."
Zhu Zhiyuan shook his head. They thought so too, so they told Ye Zhaozhao the truth: they had tried before, but all of them had failed.
Growing food on wasteland is not an easy task, otherwise there wouldn't be so much wasteland, Ye Zhaozhao silently told Xiao Yi.
"Host, I'm here. Please speak."
"Does the store sell grain seeds?"
"Host, our store can trade with other stores, as long as the items are of equal value. Don't worry about the seeds."
"good."
With Xiao Yi's words, Ye Zhaozhao felt more confident.
"Commander Zhu, I'd like to give it a try."
Seeing how sincere Ye Zhaozhao was, Zhu Zhiyuan couldn't bear to refuse her. For some reason, Ye Zhaozhao had a kind of magic that made people feel that she could do anything.
For some reason, Commander Zhu felt that this matter could be accomplished.
"Comrade Ye Zhaozhao, alright, I'll leave this matter to you. Start with a trial planting."
"OK."
Then, Ye Zhaozhao said that she hoped the military wives would take care of the farming. Of course, she also asked Commander Zhu for some benefits, and the military region would share the harvest with them.
Commander Zhu would naturally agree to this, which would relieve the soldiers of their worries and make them more suitable for missions and battlefields.
The news that Ye Zhaozhao wanted to farm quickly spread throughout the family compound. Everyone thought she was just bored and had nothing better to do, since it wasn't like no one had tried it before.
They all failed, and in the end it was all for nothing. They might as well find a job and at least get paid. Ye Zhaozhao didn't force anyone; if they weren't happy, that was fine too.
Only three people came to her: Sun Xiuhua, Chen Sufeng, and Liu Erfeng. They were willing to give it a try with her, as they had all worked the land before.
Ye Zhaozhao sent the seeds from the mall to the three people. She had decided to plant corn first, as corn is adaptable, has a short growth cycle, and is drought- and flood-resistant.
The farm tools were obtained from the logistics department. Ye Zhaozhao told everyone to get ready first, and that she would take everyone to clear land in two days. Why two days?
The radio said it would rain these two days, and that the soil would be more loose after the rain. The radio was right; it rained that night.
After lights out, Ye Zhaozhao and Gu Yunduan went to sleep. In the middle of the night, the rain got heavier, and Gu Yunduan and Zhou Dawu went to the military region.
Sun Xiuhua thought that Ye Zhaozhao was alone and it was raining so heavily, so she decided to sleep with her tonight, and Ye Zhaozhao did not refuse.
They only learned the next day that Gu Yunduan and Zhou Dawu had gone to a nearby village for disaster relief. The rain had lasted for several days, and the rain stopped as soon as the sky cleared.
Master Xue came to find her and discussed how to nourish the soldiers. Ye Zhaozhao thought she could make ginger soup and brown sugar water, since the canteen had both ginger and brown sugar.
Ye Zhaozhao set off to the cafeteria to make soup. Knowing that Gu Yunduan and the others were coming back today, Ye Zhaozhao was even more motivated. In addition to making soup, she also used ginger.
Ye Zhaozhao also asked the cafeteria to boil a pot of water so that everyone could soak their feet to ward off the cold. In the afternoon, Gu Yunduan and the others returned, though they looked a bit disheveled.
Fortunately, no one was injured. The villagers' houses collapsed, but thanks to their efforts in repairing them, the villagers were not left homeless.
Ye Zhaozhao served soup to everyone. When they saw that there was brown sugar water today, they didn't care about changing their wet clothes. After taking a sip of the sugar water, they felt warm all over.
Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao sat together drinking soup. Sun Xiuhua and the others heard that the cafeteria had sweet soup, so they came specifically to get some to take back to their husbands.
Everyone was drinking their soup when suddenly a commotion came from outside the cafeteria. By then, everyone had finished their soup and went out to see what was going on.
Ye Zhaozhao was no exception; she was dragged out by Sun Xiuhua to watch the excitement.
Two girls stood in the crowd; one was an educated youth from the village, and the other was the village chief's daughter.
