Chapter 16 Lin Momo's Farmyard Opens Up
Cheng Jinghao spent the entire morning turning the soil in the backyard. Lin Momo was carrying a small stool and leaning her head against the ground, looking at him.
"Mo Mo." Cheng Jinghao's ears turned red when she looked at him.
"Ah?" Lin Momo looked up at him.
"It's okay." Cheng Jinghao originally wanted to let her go back to her room to rest, but he was reluctant to spend this time alone with her.
"Cheng Jinghao."
"Um?"
"What kind of girls do you like?"
"Why do you suddenly think of asking this?" Cheng Jinghao paused what he was doing, then started working again.
"We're just chatting and asking." Lin Momo said with a smile. A soldier like Cheng Jinghao, who is handsome, capable and has a good figure, must be liked by many people.
"I like what I like." Cheng Jinghao did not answer the question directly. He only likes what he likes, not what it is like.
"What you mean is that you have someone you like? Who?" Lin Momo came closer to him excitedly.
"You're blocking me." Cheng Jinghao didn't dare look her in the eye. He was afraid that he would say something in his excitement and scare her.
"That's not right. You came here with me, so how could you have someone you like? Was it in your previous life?" Lin Momo asked him.
"You had someone you loved in your previous life, so how could you be willing to accompany me..." Lin Momo looked at Cheng Jinghao.
"Cheng, Cheng Jinghao, you, you, you..." Lin Momo pointed at him.
Cheng Jinghao's heart skipped a beat. When he was considering whether to admit it or deny it, Lin Momo didn't give him a chance to speak.
"No, no, it's been a long time since we last met, how could you possibly like me? Besides, we are so familiar with each other."
Cheng Jinghao looked at her with the hoe in his hand. He was suddenly stunned by the dirt she had made him for the whole day.
"Momo, please help me."
"What?" Lin Momo looked at him.
"Take your money tickets to the farm and exchange them for some vegetables. You can use sugar tickets." Cheng Jinghao decided to send Lin Momo away.
"Wouldn't you like to exchange vegetables with the villagers?"
"I've already told Aunt Six at the farm. Her daughter-in-law is pregnant and wants some sugar coupons. You can just get brown sugar." Cheng Jinghao carefully told her the route to the farm.
He will go out on a mission later, and she will have to handle these things by herself. It would be better for her to get familiar with it while he is at home.
"knew."
Lin Momo went out with a backpack on her back and happened to meet Li He from next door.
"Sister-in-law, are you going out too?" Lin Momo greeted her warmly.
"Lin Zhi, where are you going?"
"Sister-in-law, you can call me Momo. Okay, I'm going to the farm to buy some vegetables." Lin Momo said as she followed Li He forward.
"I'm going to the farm too, let's go together."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
"Don't call me sister-in-law anymore. Just call me Sister Li He. There are so many sisters-in-law in this family compound. Standing in the crowd, I don't know who to call." Li He said with a smile.
"Okay, Sister Li He."
"Yeah." Li He responded enthusiastically. "I see you are not very old, maybe less than twenty."
"Eighteen." Lin Momo replied. Thanks to the origin, she had a body that was ten years younger.
"She's so young, almost ten years younger than me." Li He smiled and held Lin Momo's hand.
"Sister Li He, how old were you when you joined the army?" Lin Momo asked curiously.
"As for me, I followed the army last year. Most of the wives of soldiers in our family compound followed the army only when their children were old enough to go to primary school."
Lin Momo looked at her in confusion. Why did she wait until the child went to school before joining the army? It would be bad for the couple to live apart.
"Sometimes, you are not qualified to accompany the army. And, a soldier's wife is supposed to take care of the soldiers' daily life. If you bring a baby here, won't you need someone to help take care of the child?" Li He smiled.
Her two children are now 7 and 5 years old. One was sent to the military primary school and the other was sent to the military kindergarten.
Lin Momo nodded. No wonder there were many military wives in later generations who were qualified to follow the army but did not. It turned out to be because of this.
"There's more." Li He lowered his voice.
"When I was at home, I could help with some housework. I always had something to do. But as a military dependent, I don't have much to do. Every day, I either gossip about your parents or his family, but I do everything."
"I heard that the Tibetan area is under construction. Doesn't our military region need to go and help?" Lin Momo asked curiously.
"No need, but the military dependents of the Construction Corps seem to be helping with the work. I heard that there are not many military dependents in the Construction Corps." As they were talking, they came to the breeding ground.
There were also many military families buying eggs at the farm, so the two of them stopped talking about the topic.
"Is this Captain Cheng's wife?" A military dependent recognized Lin Momo.
"Hello! I'm Cheng Jinghao's lover, my name is Lin Momo." Lin Momo said with a smile.
"Oh, people from Beijing are different. They are so polite." A military dependent said with a smile.
However, her tone made Lin Momo feel a little uncomfortable. She just smiled and looked at the woman in the big bib.
"Sixth Aunt, our Cheng Jinghao asked me if he could come to your place to exchange some vegetables?"
"Hey, sir, I can change it." Aunt Liu nodded.
"I brought a pound of brown sugar. I bought it at the supply and marketing cooperative the day before yesterday. Do you think it's okay?" Lin Momo took out a pound of brown sugar from her backpack and handed it to Aunt Liu.
"Oh, that's great. Thank you, Lin Zhi. Give me the backpack and I'll get you some vegetables."
Lin Momo smiled and handed over the backpack.
"You really don't know how to live. You trade a pound of brown sugar for vegetables." The military dependent who spoke just now started talking again.
"Miao Xiaohua, what Momo uses to exchange for food is none of your business." Li He couldn't stand it and was about to say something else, but was stopped by Lin Momo.
"Who are you? Hai your family? Why are you so nosy? I didn't spend ten kilograms of brown sugar to exchange for vegetables. It's none of my Cheng Jinghao's business. It's just eating salty radishes and minding your own business." Lin Momo leaned on her waist and said to Miao Xiaohua.
The military families around all looked over. They didn't expect that the new wife of Battalion Commander Cheng would not suffer any loss.
"You, you..." Miao Xiaohua looked at Lin Momo, speechless.
The military families around her couldn't help laughing when they saw how aggrieved she was.
Miao Xiaohua is a sycophant. Her husband is a battalion commander. When she sees people of similar or lower rank to her husband, she steps on them. When she sees people of higher rank, she flatters them and tries to get close to them.
"Do you want to buy more eggs?" At this time, Aunt Liu came out from the yard carrying a backpack.
Lin Momo was shocked. There was a full basket of vegetables, but only one pound of brown sugar?
"Sixth Aunt, is this too much?"
"Not much, not much, Captain Cheng's wife, you don't know that although I manage the breeding land in this military region, it is really difficult to get these sugar coupons. Sixth Aunt, don't say it's not much, it's a lot of vegetables. These are all grown by me, not for the army, so you can leave them alone."
"늀놆, Momo, take it." Li He also echoed.
"Well, I'll take it. Thank you, Aunt Liu."
After Li He finished buying eggs, Lin Momo went back with her. Lin Momo couldn't carry the basket by herself, so Li He and she each carried one side and carried the basket back.
