Chapter 45: People from the same family don’t enter the same house
In the afternoon, Lin Momo and Li He went to Aunt Liu's house and bought two chickens each.
Because I took into consideration other people who wanted to buy it, I could only buy two at most.
The money from selling chickens, like the money from eggs, must be handed over to the military district in the end.
This time, when Cheng Jinghao came back, he brought someone with him, along with Political Commissar Cao and Army Commander Chen.
"Wife, this is Deputy Regiment Commander Cao, the son of Political Commissar Cao." Cheng Jinghao helped to introduce.
"Hello, Comrade Lin." Cao Kai stretched out his right hand.
Lin Momo smiled and shook hands with him. She had heard of him and he was now in the Construction Corps.
"Hello."
"This time, Cao Kai came here mainly to see your greenhouse." Political Commissar Cao explained.
Cao Kai놆 came down from the plateau with his wife and children for the New Year. He heard about Lin Momo's greenhouse and wanted to come and see it.
"Of course." Lin Momo led a few people into the greenhouse.
"The vegetables in your garden are growing very well." Cao Kai was surprised as soon as he entered the greenhouse.
"After such a long time, the vegetable has grown into this." Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao were very surprised.
"Look at this pepper." Cheng Jinghao picked a pepper and handed it to Commander Chen.
"It's bigger than the ones in our farm." Commander Chen glanced at the pepper trees. "The trees are much bigger."
"It's spring now. Can we transplant a few pepper trees here to the breeding ground?" Political Commissar Cao asked Lin Momo.
"Of course you can. We are ready to serve the military region and the Tibetan area at any time." Lin Momo responded with a smile.
Cao Kai looked at the lush green vegetable garden and was really envious. It would be great if he could grow these on the plateau.
"Deputy Captain Cao..."
"You can just call her Brother Cao. I heard from my mother that you should call her Aunt Zhou." Cao Kai said with a smile. He had heard from his mother that she liked this girl very much.
"Brother Cao, I'd like to ask, what are the main crops grown on the plateau now?" Lin Momo asked.
"We can only grow barley now, and only for one season, planting in April and harvesting in September. The yield is very low." Cao Kai sighed.
"Brother Cao, do you know broad beans?" Lin Momo had read in a book that broad beans could be grown on the plateau.
"Broad beans, I know." Cao Kai nodded.
"I've read in a book that broad beans can grow on plateaus. You can try it."
"Also, the vegetables in this field grow well, not only because of the temperature in the greenhouse, but also because the field was cultivated with cow dung."
"Have you ever raised one? Did you apply fertilizer and throw manure on it?" Cao Kai asked.
"No, we used cow dung to cultivate the land for a month before we started planting," said Cheng Jinghao.
"Why is this?" Commander Chen asked puzzledly.
"This can improve the quality of the land and increase plant yields," Lin Momo explained.
Everyone nodded.
"You also grow sweet potatoes here?" Cao Kai recognized the sweet potato leaves and the sign standing on the ground.
"Yes."
"I heard from Dad that you are going to grow rice in southern Tibet next year?"
"Yeah, I want to try it." Lin Momo nodded.
"Okay, I look forward to your success." Cao Kai laughed. "I will try the broad beans you mentioned. If there is anything I don't understand, can I write to you and ask you? And what about the use of cow dung to cultivate the soil you mentioned?"
"Of course you can. I will tell you everything I know."
"Don't be angry when Jinghao is angry." Cao Kai patted Cheng Jinghao's shoulder and said.
"Who do you think you are?" Cheng Jinghao hit him on the chest.
Everyone laughed.
Before leaving, Lin Momo picked a lot of peppers and ripe vegetables for them.
"Look, if you don't leave your wife, he would like to take you to the plateau." After the people left, Cheng Jinghao smiled and hugged Lin Momo and said.
"That can't be possible." Lin Momo leaned in his arms.
"Hmm?" Cheng Jinghao looked at her.
"Because, she's your wife." She looked into his dark eyes with her bright eyes and smiled.
Lin Momo's words made Cheng Jinghao's heart feel like it was filled with honey. He hugged her and kissed her hard.
The sweet wine made by Lin Momo is ready. When you open the sealed plastic wrap, you can smell the rich aroma of sweet wine.
Lin Momo filled a lunch box with food and picked some vegetables from the greenhouse and put them in the backpack.
We went to Political Commissar Cao's house carefully. Although every soldier would clean the road, the snow kept falling every day.
Lin Momo arrived at the door of Political Commissar Cao and knocked on the gate. The one who opened the door was Political Commissar Cao's daughter-in-law, Yang Liu.
"Hello, are you sister-in-law?" Lin Momo greeted with a smile.
"You? You Momo? Come in quickly." Yang Liu pulled Lin Momo into the yard.
He took her arm all the way into the main room, "Mom, Momo is here." Yang Liu shouted into the room.
Zhou Weihong came out of the house, "Momo is here."
"Aunt Zhou, I brought you some food and sweet wine." Lin Momo took the things out of the backpack.
"Wow, you can also make sweet wine." Zhou Weihong said in surprise.
"Momo is really amazing. This person from Hunan Province has been watching people do it since childhood, but he still can't learn it." Yang Liu handed Lin Momo some brown sugar water.
"As for you, your mother said that you have been a nerd since childhood, and it's good enough that you can cook." Zhou Weihong said with a smile.
"Just listen to what your mother says." Yang Liu smiled and took a bowl to pour the sweet wine and cleared the lunch box.
"Mom, this sweet wine smells so good, even better than the one in our hometown." Yang Liu smelled the sweet wine and smiled happily.
"You, let Momo laugh at you." Zhou Weihong said with a smile, pointing at Yang Liu.
"It's okay, Aunt Zhou." Lin Momo waved her hand.
"Are you okay these days?" Zhou Weihong asked, holding her hand. It had been snowing heavily these days, and her grandson had returned, so she had no place to go.
“Everything is fine.”
"You and Jinghao have been married for several months, but there is still no movement?" Zhou Weihong looked at her belly.
"Mom, look at you." Yang Liu glanced at Zhou Weihong. Why did she ask this?
"Don't you want to care about this?" Zhou Weihong glared at her.
"Aunt Zhou, we don't plan to have a baby so early." Lin Momo replied with a smile. She knew that Zhou Weihong cared about her and didn't think it was wrong.
"Why?" Yang Liu asked puzzledly.
"Look, now you ask." Zhou Weihong looked at her.
"......"
Lin Momo couldn't help laughing when she looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. As expected, people from the same family are alike. The Cao family members get along well with each other.
"I want to try growing rice next year, but it's not convenient when I'm pregnant. Anyway, we are still young now, so there is no rush."
Because nowadays many people give birth to children at the age of ten or nineteen, she couldn't say that she felt she was too young. Having a baby so early is not good for your health.
However, this is indeed a reason. When you are pregnant, you can't go out every day.
Zhou Weihong and Yang Liu looked at each other. They didn't expect that the couple would get along so well. Because of this, Yang Liu admired this girl who was 7 years younger than her even more.
Not long after, Cao Kai came back from the other side with his 3-year-old son. Lin Momo sat for a while and then left.
