Chapter 82 My Man, Deputy Brigade Commander
Lin Momo had been waiting for the rice to mature these days, but she didn't expect that because of the rice, she would come face to face with the new military dependents.
"Comrade Lin, is Comrade Lin at home?" An urgent call came from outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Li He from next door opened the door first, and Su Hong appeared outside the door.
At this time Lin Momo also opened the door, "What's going on?"
"The new military dependent is harvesting your rice." Su Hong said breathlessly, obviously having run all the way here.
"What?" Lin Momo was anxious when she heard it. She locked the door and was about to go to the field.
"Slow down, you're pregnant." Li He hurriedly followed.
Su Hong was afraid of trouble, so she followed behind.
When they arrived at the gate of the family compound, Li He asked the guard to go to the military area to find Cheng Jinghao.
"Didn't you tell her about the landlord?" Li He asked Su Hong.
"I told her, but she didn't listen." Su Hong said, "She even said she was the deputy head of the group's mother."
"What's wrong with the deputy captain's mother? There's no law to enforce it." Li He shouted, while telling Lin Momo to slow down.
When we got to the field, we saw two women, one old and one young, harvesting rice.
Lin Momo let go of Li He and Su Hong and shouted, "I want to see who dares to touch my land."
"Hey, you said this land is yours, so it's yours? Do you want to write your name on it?" the old woman said with her hands on her hips.
"That's right, everything in this military region belongs to the collective." The young woman raised her head and looked at the three women, not taking them seriously at all.
"This is the rice that the military region approved for Momo to plant for trial. If you just harvest it like this, you will be responsible for it." Li He pointed at the two of them.
"If you say I'm responsible, then I'm responsible. Who are you? My son is the new deputy head of the group." The old woman put her hands on her hips and looked disdainful. She saw that Li He and Lin Momo were young, and thought that their men must be low-ranking officials.
"My man is still the deputy brigade commander. Your son can't afford it." Lin Momo said with her belly bulging.
"Mom, her husband is the deputy brigade commander." The young woman whispered. This was their first time following the army, and in their hometown, as long as they said her husband was the deputy regiment commander, no one in the village would dare to offend them.
"You are so young, and your man is the deputy brigade commander, but my man is the army commander." The woman didn't believe it at all.
"Who is your man?" A majestic voice came at this time.
"Commander Chen, Political Commissar Cao, and Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng." Su Hong called out.
Cheng Jinghao followed behind Commander Chen.
"They cut my rice." Lin Momo saw her man and burst into tears.
Li He and Su Hong looked at each other in surprise. Where was the momentum just now?
"It's okay, I'm here." Cheng Jinghao quickly hugged her and gently stroked her back.
"She said her son is the deputy regiment commander, and I said my man is the deputy brigade commander. She didn't believe it, and she said..." Lin Momo looked at Commander Chen.
"Go and call Deputy Commander Zhang." Commander Chen turned around and said to the guard who followed him.
"놆."
The only new deputy head this time is named Zhang.
"This piece of land was approved by our military region to Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng's wife, Comrade Lin, for trial growing rice. Who allowed you to harvest it without permission?" Political Commissar Cao looked at the two men.
“It doesn’t say who owns it,” the older woman said.
"Then this is not yours, what qualifications do you have to cut it?" Commander Chen said sternly. "I see you are used to bullying others in the village."
"You are the commander?" The woman looked at Commander Chen.
Commander Chen looked at her without saying anything.
"Oh, so it's really the commander. Let me tell you, our Dahui is a good soldier..."
Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao looked at each other. This was just an ignorant country woman.
"Commander, Political Commissar, Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng." At this time, Zhang Hui ran over with the guards and saluted Commander Chen and others.
"Look at the good things your family has done." Commander Chen said, pointing at the rice in the field.
"This is Comrade Xiao Lin's trial planting field. They have ruined it like this." Political Commissar Cao added.
Zhang Hui looked over and saw that his mother and wife were still standing in the field, where one third of the rice had been harvested.
When he looked again, he saw Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng's wife, crying in his arms, with a big belly.
"Mom, Xiaohua, what are you doing here?" Zhang Hui just felt a headache. He clearly told them not to hang around in the military area. The military area was not like the village. There were many people with higher positions than him.
"The rice is ripe. Mom said that if we harvest it, we can save money for buying food." Tian Xiaohua said.
"You go back and cut it. You don't have a thresher, so you eat the rice." Lin Momo raised her head from Cheng Jinghao's arms, pointed at them and said.
"Commander, this rice is mine. I will hold them accountable and I want them to pay for it."
Commander Chen looked at Lin Momo, afraid that she would hurt the baby in her belly, and glanced at Political Commissar Cao.
"Go and ask the Military Commission." Political Commissar Cao said to the guards.
"Political Commissar, I'll compensate you. Don't ask the Military Commission." When Zhang Hui heard that the Military Commission should be asked, he thought to himself, "Willn't he go to jail?"
"This land is already cultivated. I don't want the grain and I'm leaving. Why should I pay for it?" Aunt Zhang refused when she heard that she had to pay for it.
"Then let the Military Commission handle it." Cheng Jinghao said, looking at Zhang Hui with a coercive look in his eyes. "My wife is pregnant with triplets. If you want to disturb the fetus or something, I will not let it go."
"Auntie, let me introduce myself. My military rank is deputy brigade commander, not much more, two levels higher than your son." Cheng Jinghao looked at Auntie Zhang.
"This, I, I..." Aunt Zhang didn't expect that what Lin Momo said was true, and her man was really the deputy brigade commander.
"Still, you said your man is the commander. If you say that, you will go to jail." Cheng Jinghao glanced at Commander Chen.
"Commander, Political Commissar, I will take my wife back first. I hope the military district can give my wife an explanation for this matter." Cheng Jinghao looked at the two of them.
"Why don't we drive to the hospital?" Commander Chen was worried.
Lin Momo secretly pinched Cheng Jinghao to signal him that he was okay.
"No need, let's go back and rest first." Cheng Jinghao hugged Lin Momo and went back, and Li He and Su Hong followed.
"Is Momo really okay?" Li He looked at Lin Momo in Cheng Jinghao's arms worriedly.
"Sister Li He, I'm fine." She said in a low voice.
Li He and Su Hong looked at each other and then breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning home, Cheng Jinghao helped Lin Momo onto the kang before speaking.
"Even if I want to harvest your rice, you can't rush to the field. Can you just tell someone to inform me?"
"I'm worried. What if she ruins all my rice?" She pouted.
"You have to consider yourself and the child." He stretched out his hand and pinched her little face.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Besides, Sister Li He is always with me." She looked up and smiled at him.
"How do you think Dad will handle this?" she asked.
"He should pay compensation, after all, Zhang Hui just arrived, and there was no loss at all." Cheng Jinghao said after thinking it over. "Tomorrow I'll ask Lao Zhao and the others to help harvest the rice."
"Yeah." Lin Momo nodded, and it was indeed enough.
