Chapter 313 Commander: Do I have to pay for food?

Song Jian immediately realized that he had said too much and had made things worse. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he didn't know how to save the situation.

However, his leader raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a steady voice: "Zi Ru wrote a song, and I played it with the Hulusi and it sounded pretty good."

"She composed another piece of music? Is she an artist?" The veins on Commander Duan's temples bulged, showing his excitement. "Play a piece for me later."

"I just tried playing it once yesterday, and I haven't mastered it yet," Han Suijing answered without error, his eyes as deep as the sea, making it difficult for Commander Duan to insist.

Bao Er looked at everyone with his clear eyes and asked, "Dad, are you ready for tomorrow night?"

These words immediately made Commander Duan laugh.

Commander Duan raised his finger and gently scratched the boy's face, smiling, "If your father hasn't practiced well by tomorrow night, tell your mother to sell the song and use the money to buy you apples."

"Who to sell it to?" Baoer's eyes widened. Even at a young age, he understood the great role of money.

Taking this opportunity, Commander Duan casually told them that the General Political Department Art Troupe wanted to rehearse Wang Ziru's two original programs. Finally, in the surprised eyes of the two, he asked: "Maybe they can't give a lot of money, but a small amount is still money. Do you need me to help you negotiate?"

He looked at the young wife who came in and sat next to Han Suijing.

Wang Ziru had expected this to happen, and said with a smile: "Then I'll ask the commander to help negotiate. It's a good thing that they are willing to give money, as I happen to be short of money."

"What money do you need? You're married to Han Suijing, but he didn't give you any of his money?" Commander Duan looked at his subordinate, whom he considered the best, with contempt, thinking to himself, you're married, and you still let your wife worry about money?

Han Suijing almost felt the contempt in his boss's eyes, and glanced at his wife unconsciously, "She said that farming might cost some money."

He understood what his wife meant, that he needed to get some money to buy the land.

"Farming?" A scene suddenly flashed through Commander Duan's mind. The young wife was working in the mountains under the sun, not afraid of wind and rain, facing the loess and with her back to the sky, tilling the land and planting crops.

Her married life was so miserable...

"Well, Ziru thinks that living in the mountains will allow her to make use of the rich resources there. She plans to reclaim the barren slopes in the nearby villages and invite a few villagers to grow some vegetables or medicinal herbs together."

After Han Suijing's explanation, Commander Duan, who had previously been quite critical of his young wife's farming, immediately understood.

If you cannot eat all the vegetables you grow, you can sell them to family compounds or even military canteens.

If the medicinal herbs are grown, their economic value will be even greater.

Commander Duan still felt that farming was too hard. After all, as the daughter-in-law of the Han family, even if she did nothing, she should be able to eat and drink like the other women in the Duan family.

"Aren't you afraid of hard work? Farming is so tiring." Commander Duan still couldn't hold back the words in his heart, and glanced at his young wife with a worried look on his face.

"Actually, to be precise, I paid people to help me farm. They are already reclaiming the barren hillsides for me. Once they have reclaimed all the barren hillsides and plowed the land, I can plant vegetables right away. Commander, if I can't finish eating the vegetables I plant, I can sell them and exchange them for money."

"You are so diligent! You have already married Han Suijing, but you don't even know how to be lazy at home and be a wife."

Listening to his boss's rather strange ridicule, Han Suijing picked up a chicken leg from the chicken soup and put it into his wife's bowl, "Zi Ru, you work hard in the fields, you can eat the chicken leg."

When Baoer saw that his father didn't give him chicken drumsticks, his little face wrinkled, "Dad, I want to eat chicken drumsticks too."

Before his father could come to his senses.

Commander Duan found another chicken leg from the enamel soup bowl and pressed it into the boy's bowl like lightning.

"Here you are! You've worked hard, too. From now on, you have to go to the village with your mother to enjoy the sunshine and the wind every day. Poor child, why don't you come back to the city with me to go to kindergarten."

The little cute baby had a big smile on his face while chewing on a chicken leg. "Mom said she would take me back to the city to study in the first grade next year."

Commander Duan smiled. It was obvious that the couple had taught their children very well.

Seeing that everyone was having a happy meal again, Song Jian said nothing and just focused on eating chicken. Opportunities like today were rare.

The chicken is stewed until it is soft, and the collagen is integrated into the soup. The light soup becomes orange and rich. After drinking a spoonful, you can feel the aroma of the chicken melting in your mouth. The sweetness of the cucumber cubes is also well integrated into the soup. Eating it with rice is really the most delicious meal I have ever eaten in my life.

Wang Ziru saw that the chicken in the soup bowl was almost eaten, so she put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and walked out, opened the lid of the stew pot on the stove, and filled another bowl with soup.

When it was brought into the house and placed in the middle of the table.

Commander Duan asked, "Anything else?"

"Well, this rooster is quite fat, weighing more than 15 pounds. If you like it, I will go to the village to buy a rooster tomorrow and have it for dinner tomorrow night." Wang Ziru said generously.

"I'm in the army. Your family provides such good food. Do I have to pay for food?"

Han Suijing knew the commander was joking, but the little cute baby was as nervous as a chicken pecking at rice, "Uncle Commander, you can give me a dollar, because my mother spent a few dollars to buy a rooster."

"Bao'er!" Wang Ziru turned around and sat back down at the dining table, saying unhappily, "Uncle Commander is a guest. If he eats your chicken, he has to pay. So, when you go to Uncle Commander's house to eat in the future, do you have to bring money with you?"

The little guy frowned and looked troubled.

This made Commander Duan laugh out loud.

After a sumptuous dinner, Commander Duan was in a good mood. When he left the family compound, he took Baoer downstairs with him.

Han Suijing also went downstairs and returned to the division headquarters to deal with some work matters.

Then she called her eldest brother Han Tingzhang who was far away in Beijing and told him her wife's idea. As he expected, Han Tingzhang not only did not hesitate at all, but fully supported his brother and sister-in-law in doing business.

"Sui Jing, you and your sister-in-law have finally gotten together, it's time to make your life more prosperous! The Duan family thinks that their family can produce members with great business acumen for generations, and they have always wanted to suppress our Han family! Although our Han family has been a meritorious family for hundreds of years, if your sister-in-law has a business acumen and can do business, I will definitely help her with all my strength!"

"But if you really want to buy a piece of land in Shangjing or Shencheng, you'll need a lot of money."

"This little money is not a problem. I have connections in both places. Just leave it to me." Han Tingzhang showed his magnanimous side in front of his brother and said loudly: "I believe that as long as we fully support your brother and sister-in-law, the Han family will surely be a family with both fame and fortune in the future."

Han Tingzhang knew that most of his second brother's salary accumulated over the years was used to build the small Western-style building in the military family compound.

I’m afraid I don’t have much saved now.

But this was not a problem at all. He still had some money on hand, and with his connections in Beijing, the money problem would be solved in an instant as long as he opened his mouth.

Han Suijing was amused by his elder brother's words, "You and I are both in the army, and it is not convenient for us to show up for many things. It seems that we can only be Ziru's backup."

"Well! Bring your sister-in-law to the office later, and I'll tell her in person. I want her to know that choosing to marry you is the best thing she has ever done in her life! It's definitely not worse than marrying into the Duan family."

Han Suijing was a little confused about what was going on.

The eldest brother also knew that Commander Duan was pursuing the child's mother.

Han Suijing also felt the same way. He and his wife had been separated for five years, and a lot of things had happened in the meantime.

So, now they need to repair their past relationship and rebuild trust in the process so that their relationship can be truly sublimated.

So he would focus all his attention on the family outside of work, and would do anything he could to reduce the burden on his wife.

After making an appointment with his eldest brother, Han Suijing came out of the division headquarters and glanced at the busy training ground from afar.

Commander Duan, with Bao'er, guards and several captains, was supervising the training of the new recruits at the training ground.

He hurried back to the family compound. His wife had already put away the dishes and housework, and was sitting quietly behind the desk in the small study, writing something.

Seeing him go home, Wang Ziru asked: "Where is Bao'er? Is she still with Commander Duan?"

"It's okay. Bao'er can't stay idle at home, and he's causing trouble for you. Let him watch the soldiers' training and learn something. At least he knows that the training of special forces is very hard." He never took his eyes off his wife. He walked over and put his arm around her shoulders. "I've made an appointment with my brother to call. When you finish writing, come back to the division headquarters with me."

"Did you tell Brother Tingzhang that I was after his money?"

Han Suijing smiled gently as he met his wife's smiling eyes. "Brother won't think that we care about his little money. He will only try his best to help you."

"Then let's go call Big Brother quickly, so we don't have any more troubles at night."

Wang Ziru was excited. She quickly dropped the ballpoint pen in her hand, stretched her waist and stood up. Then she held the man's handsome face with both hands, and smiled, "It seems that you have helped a lot. Thank you."

"We are husband and wife, we should help you."

Han Suijing thought his wife was holding his face and wanted to kiss him to express her gratitude.

Unexpectedly, she said thank you and let go of his face, causing him to pout.

Han Suijing was not as anxious as his wife. He put his arms around her and naturally reached out to brush the strands of hair on her forehead. He leaned over slightly and whispered in her ear, "Thank me tonight. Give Bao'er a little sister next year."

A warm breath sounded beside her ears, and without leaving a trace, he turned her face and gave her a deep kiss on the lips.

It was not until they heard the noisy sound outside the house that the couple smiled and went out to the division headquarters.

Arrived at the division headquarters, Han Suijing's office.

Wang Ziru took a brief look, turned around and walked to the man, watching him call his elder brother.

The call went through and it was Han Tingzhang who answered the phone.

"Brother, please talk to Ziru." Han Suijing greeted his elder brother, handed the microphone to his wife, stood up and gave her the chair.

Although Wang Ziru said she was just answering the phone, not everyone can sit on this chair.

When she was worried about answering the phone, the commander suddenly came upstairs.

So he didn't sit on the chair, but leaned on the edge of the table and chatted with Han Tingzhang.

"Brother, I didn't treat you well the first two times you came to Yun Province. When you come again, I will definitely treat you well."

Han Tingzhang laughed heartily. He particularly liked the gentle voice of his sister-in-law. "Sister-in-law, we are a family. We can get together sometimes and don't have to eat anything."

"By the way, Sui Jing said that you, my sister-in-law, are interested in buying some land?"

"Yeah! I do have this idea, but I..."

Here, Wang Ziru bit her lower lip, feeling too embarrassed to open her mouth to ask her elder brother for money, but Han Tingzhang had already spoken for her.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll help you with the money issue." Han Tingzhang dispelled Wang Ziru's concerns with one sentence, and then said, "After you have considered it, follow Jing to the capital."

"Okay, thank you, brother. Oh, there is one more thing. Since you are in Beijing, it will be convenient for me. I want to get some new vegetable seeds from the Agricultural Science Institute. I plan to plant some vegetables in the village near the army."

Han Tingzhang also heard about this, and when he learned that his brother and sister-in-law wanted to get some of the best vegetable seeds, he agreed immediately.

"I will personally call the Agricultural Science Institute tomorrow to inquire, and then I will ask Duan Yanzhi to take it back to Yun Province. Sui Jing has no chance to come to Shangjing recently, so I have to ask someone else to do it."

"Can Commander Duan please help bring it back to Yun Province? Oh..."
