Chapter 83: Song's wife is a hedonist
Lin Qingqing was really tired tonight. After washing up, she went into her room and fell asleep.
The next morning
Song Yiyuan returned to the army at around 6 o'clock. Lin Qingqing got up a little late. When she got up, Xiaomei had already cleaned up the yard.
The vegetable patch on the left side of the yard has been watered, and the small green vegetables have begun to sprout.
"Sister, you're up now. The commander came looking for you early this morning. I told him you weren't up yet, and he said he'd come back at noon."
You're so impatient! You came here so early in the morning.
"Well, let's eat first. Next time you meet Chief Wang, you should greet him."
"Okay." When she met the leader in the morning, she stuttered, afraid that she would say something wrong and cause trouble.
Seeing Xiaomei's face turn pale, Lin Qingqing smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous. No matter how high the leader is, as long as we don't make mistakes, no one can do anything to us. This chief is your brother-in-law's boss. Maybe we'll have many opportunities to argue with him in the future."
Xiaomei nodded dully. She had only been in the army for a few days, and she had really met so many people.
She took out the breakfast in the pot, ate breakfast with Lin Qingqing, cleared the dishes, and then took the hoe and vegetable seeds to the tube building to find Sister Xiuhong to plant vegetables in her private plot.
Sister Xiuhong wanted to take her to the riverside to familiarize herself with the route so that it would be more convenient for her to fetch water for watering her private plot in the future.
Lin Qingqing was alone at home. She took out a medical book and started reading it again. She had finished reading "Outline of Medicine" and "Medical Clinical Training" in the past few days.
A few years later, humans no longer needed to rely on hospitals to treat diseases, but in 1976, China's medical level was low, the average life expectancy was only 35 years, and the infant mortality rate was as high as 20%.
This set of data surprised Lin Qingqing. Ordinary people may lose their lives due to a serious illness.
She could only sigh that this era was too backward.

The gate of the family compound
Under the big pine tree, the sisters-in-law gathered together. After eating, they came out to play while the weather was cool. Some of them were holding their children, and some were picking vegetables.
Here you can hear first-hand news. The sisters-in-law exchange their experiences and won't miss any movement in the compound. This is simply the base for the sisters-in-law to keep in touch with each other.
It was inconvenient to go out in the compound, so this was all the fun they had.
The sisters-in-law who didn't like to listen to the gossip of other people were busy working on their private plots, or diligently digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms on the mountain behind the family compound.
Although the men in the army all have allowances, people in this era are used to being frugal and every penny saved counts.
Under a pine tree, Zhang Xiufen clutched a handful of melon seeds and leaned against the trunk. She glanced at everyone and said with a squinting eye, "Guess who I saw when I came over here just now? It was Team Leader Song's wife's cousin. She and Xu Xiuhong were heading over to the private plot."
"What do you think of Team Leader Song's wife? She just stays in the yard all day and doesn't talk to anyone. Does she have a personality problem?"
"We let our cousin do all the work on the private plot. What does she do? Look at her delicate hands. You can tell she's not a hard worker. She doesn't even cook at home, does she? And she says she's from the countryside. Do you believe it?"
