Chapter 311 The Commander came so quickly
"Do you want to do some business with the Duan family?" After a while, Han Suijing asked with a panicked heart but a calm face.
Wang Ziru sighed and smacked the corner of her lips. She knew in her heart that if she only relied on Han Suijing's current salary, she would not be able to do business at all. It was only enough to cover her initial farming costs.
She raised her pretty face, looked at me for a moment and said, "I was thinking, we might live in the mountains for a long time, and it's not realistic to go out and do business, so why don't we make some money and buy some land in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, waiting for the appreciation in the future."
In the quiet little suite, Han Suijing stared at his wife in astonishment, "You want to buy land?"
"But, you probably can't buy and sell land freely in Beijing. I'm not sure about Shanghai, but at least Beijing hasn't relaxed its policies yet. As for Shenzhen, the policies may have been relaxed, but buying land requires a lot of money."
"That's why I said, discuss it with Big Brother."
It was already the early 1980s, and 1981 was just around the corner. If we didn't act now, the land would become more and more expensive as time went on.
She was not greedy. She went to Beijing to buy some prime locations in later generations. As for Shanghai, she bought a piece of land in the rural area around Lujiazui in Pudong first.
As for Shenzhen, since the policy has been officially decentralized and foreign capital has entered, it has become expensive to buy land.
Finally understanding his wife's intention, Han Suijing took a deep look at the gentle smile on his face, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, "Brother is still single, no one cares about his money, I agree that you should go and get some."
"Hehe, big brother holds such a high position, he must have saved a lot of money, so when are you going to call him?" Wang Ziru couldn't help but want to get some money from her big brother.
"I'll make an appointment with him a little later in the afternoon and take you to the office."
Han Suijing patted his wife's arm, feeling very relieved. She asked her elder brother for help when she had difficulties. At least it showed that she recognized that he and they were a family, and she would not ask the Duan family for money.
He also did not want the Han family to have any economic dealings with the Duan family.
"It's getting late. I should go back to the office to take care of some things," Han Suijing said as he stood up and looked at his son who was standing next to the rattan chair. "Bao'er, are you going to the office to play with Dad this morning?"
"I want to go to the village with my mother. There are pears and apples to eat in the village." Baoer said very honestly.
"Okay, if you're going to the village, let the sentry take you into the village."
Han Suijing gave his wife careful instructions. They chatted until midnight last night and he clearly understood his wife's "grand plan". She planned to hire a few villagers to help reclaim the barren slopes in the nearby village.
Then grow vegetables and medicinal herbs on it.
He thought about it carefully. His family lived in the mountains and his wife had nothing else to do. It was his duty to support her in doing something she liked and was willing to do.
Wang Ziru ate an egg pancake, got up and walked out the door, watching her husband go downstairs to work.
After breakfast, she quickly cleaned up the dishes, plugged the air inlet at the bottom of the stove with a plug, and put an iron lid on it.
I took the child out of the yard and walked straight to the sentry post.
At this time, the soldiers of the army went out in the morning to run ten kilometers over mountains and ridges, and returned to the army in a mighty stream at this time.
Baoer held his mother's hand, his curious eyes dazzled, but he didn't see his father Zhai.
The soldiers, whose legs were already weak from running and exhausted, looked back at the mother and daughter curiously. Of course, they all knew that they were the families of the Korean troops.
Especially for the single soldiers, seeing Han Bingtuan’s wife up close and personal, they couldn’t help but feel jealous of her outstanding appearance.
Song Jian came out of the regiment headquarters and caught up with the mother and daughter at the sentry post. "Sister-in-law, the leader asked me to take you to the village."
"Ah? You're not busy at this time?"
"I'll take you to the village first. Once you get there, say hello to the villagers and then come back." Song Yan picked up the little guy and looked at his bald head. He asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, don't you have a straw hat?"
"Straw hat? Yes, the sun is very strong today, so I should buy a straw hat. But is it far from the town from here?" Wang Ziru asked.
Song Yan threw Bao Er onto his back and said, "It'll only take a quarter of an hour to drive there."
"By the way, today is a market day in town. How about I take you to the market to buy some things?"
Bao Er nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, Brother Song Tang, let's hurry to the town to meet up."
"I'd better go to the village first. Yesterday, I talked to the old man in the village behind the mountain and asked him to go to the village on the other side of the mountain to inform them and find a few villagers to help reclaim the wasteland on the back mountain. They may have been waiting for me."
Song Jian asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are you really planning to farm in the village? It's so tiring."
Hearing this, Wang Ziru's face lit up with a hint of sarcasm, and she said, "When you have time in the future, go to the village and help with the farming."
"You might as well ask your leader to bring a group of soldiers to help you farm."
The female soldiers were lagging far behind the main group, running so fast that they could hardly catch their breath. But when they saw a woman and a soldier coming towards them on the road ahead, they all perked up.
Just as I was about to quicken my pace, I found that the two people turned into the path leading into the mountains and disappeared into the forest path.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the three of them arrived at the village behind the mountain.
"Oh, so this is the place you are talking about, sister-in-law. I've been here before. There is an old couple living in the valley here, and the other residents of the village live on the hillside on the other side of the mountain." Song Jian carried Bao'er on his back and saw the old couple working in their yard from a distance.
"Grandpa! Grandma!"
Baoer lay on Song Yan's back and shouted loudly to the old couple in the courtyard.
The old man was feeding the chickens. When he heard the cries, he turned around quickly and saw the little soldier who had come to the village yesterday. A kind smile appeared on his dark and thin face.
He looked at his wife and said, "Boer and his mother are here."
"Then you go to the mountain and call Li Dajun and the others. They will come here in the morning, but your mother and daughter haven't come yet." The old lady said with a smile.
Song Jian, carrying Bao Er on his back, had already walked to the edge of the courtyard. "Master! Madam, what are you busy with?"
"What are you busy with? I'm feeding the chickens. You sit for a while. I'm going to go to the hillside to call Li Dajun. They came to the valley early to check it out."
Song Jian put the kid down from his back and said, "Master, I'll go to the hillside and shout."
He knew that by crossing the mountain pass and standing at the mouth of the valley, he could communicate with the villagers in the village on the other side of the mountain.
Wang Ziru walked to the fence of the chicken coop and took a look. "Auntie, you feed more than a dozen chickens. Sell me two."
"Hehehe..." The old lady smiled kindly, "You want to take the troops back to make soup for your child's father?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to be for the child's father. We're going to have guests coming to our house, so we should at least prepare some decent dishes." Wang Ziru had already made up her mind that when Commander Duan came, she would prepare a meal at home to entertain them.
When the old lady heard that Wang Ziru had guests at home, she immediately thought about it and said, "Give me some money. If you want to eat, just kill one and bring it back to the army to make soup."
"Thank you, Auntie. By the way, do you have any dried wild mushrooms at home?"
"There are a lot of wild mushrooms. We went to the mountains in the spring and picked a lot of them. We dried them and put them on the roof of the private house. I'll ask the old man to take them down and fill a bag for you later."
Wang Ziru was suddenly extremely happy.
Looking at the chickens vying for food in the chicken coop, he picked a fat and strong rooster and said with a smile, "The one with the red comb. I'll ask the uncle to help me kill it later. After it's cleaned, I'll take it back to the army and put it in the pot directly."
Song Jian came back from the valley and saw the old man holding a big rooster in his hand. He was slightly surprised and said, "Sister-in-law, did you hear that the commander will be at the army at noon? This meal is too good for him."
"The commander will arrive tomorrow, so why are you here a day early?"
"Yes, when the leaders went to work in the morning, the headquarters had already called here and said that the commander came early to supervise the training of the new recruits." Song Yan said.
Wang Ziru's nervous emotions surged, but she secretly suppressed her inner panic.
Since she married Han Suijing, she has never met the commander.
What do you say when you see him?
Although she looked calm on the outside, she was not calm on the inside. Seeing the villagers coming from the other side of the valley, she said, "Go back and tell Han Suijing that I'm in a rush to prepare lunch. It's too late. I still have work to do in the village, so I can only invite the commander to my house for dinner."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I will go back to the army later."
Several farmers who came from the village on the other side of the valley walked to the edge of the Yang family's courtyard and looked at Wang Ziru.
Old man Yang introduced them, and then Wang Ziru sat with them in the courtyard.
Turning around, I saw Old Lady Yang brewing a pot of tea and bringing it out, placing a few enamelware pots on a stool, "Third brother, have some tea."
"It's like this. I'd like to ask a few people to help reclaim all the barren slopes in front and inside the valley, and plant some vegetables in some of them, and some medicinal herbs in the other part facing the sun..." Wang Ziru said slowly, her eyes wandering over the faces of the four farmers in the courtyard.
Song Jian originally wanted to return to the army first, but when he saw his sister-in-law looking so heroic, he couldn't help but sit beside her and watch.
The farmers also knew that the valley faced the sun, and the old couple of the Yang family only planted crops on the few plots of land in front of their door.
The barren slopes around Yang's house are very large, and if they are reclaimed, a lot of food can be grown.
A farmer asked, "Don't you grow food?"
"Don't think about growing crops! I only plan to grow greenhouse vegetables and medicinal herbs." Wang Ziru said with a firm look.
Later, after some discussion.
After drinking their tea, everyone got up and walked towards the large slope behind, beside, and in front of Yang's house.
"What I mean is that we should reclaim all these places and then carve out ridges in the fields," Wang Ziru, a layman in farming, explained his idea to the farmers in a very assertive manner.
Song Jian took Bao'er and squatted under a tree beside the courtyard, watching Old Man Yang kill chickens.
"Baoer, your mother said that she would invite the commander to your house for dinner this afternoon. What do you think? Why don't you invite me to your house for dinner as well?" Song Yan looked at the fat cock, reluctant to take his eyes away. He touched Baoer's head with his hand and said half seriously.
Bao Er was also very righteous. He looked at his older brother and pursed his lips. "Okay, I'll tell dad to bring Brother Song Yan to our house to drink chicken soup this afternoon."
"From now on, we will be good friends." Song Yan was as happy as a child and pulled the little guy into his arms.
Wang Ziru knew that her child's father would be receiving Commander Duan and his entourage that day, so they would definitely go to the military canteen for lunch.
Therefore, she was not in a hurry to return to the army.
Until she had negotiated with a few farmers to hire someone as a servant and the sun was shining high in the sky, she returned to the army, carrying a small wooden bucket in one hand and holding her child in the other.
Old man Yang carried the wooden barrel and walked the mother and daughter out of the mountain path. He only went home after seeing them reach the road.
When the mother and daughter were about to reach the military gate, Baoer shouted in surprise, "Mom! I heard the commander-in-chief talking."
"Really?" Wang Ziru also heard Commander Duan's distinctive rough voice and knew that they had arrived at the special forces.
