"Have you come up with anything new? I'm going to go up the mountain to clear mines. Please give me a smaller detector." After hearing Du Peng's praise, He Beichen spoke out the purpose of his visit.
"Oh, it's not done yet." Du Peng shook his head.
After he got the detector, he was busy studying it. He was just starting to do an experiment, but before he finished, He Beichen came over.
"But this one your wife made is very useful. I have studied it clearly. You can take it back first. If I need anything, I will come to you again, okay?" Du Peng said, turning around and going back to get the thing.
He Beichen once again took the detector made by Li Xin in his hand, but the feeling was completely different from the first time.
He originally thought it was just an ordinary detector, but now he understands how valuable this thing Li Xin made is.
…
Early this morning, the road leading up the mountain was temporarily blocked, and sentries were posted at the entrance, and no one would be allowed in.
In the past few days, there have been many military wives in the compound going up the mountain to pick mushrooms. Today, there was also a military wife who came with a basket on her back, but was stopped as soon as she arrived at the foot of the mountain and had to return disappointed.
"No, why is the mountain closed for no reason? I'm so unlucky. I could still pick mushrooms a few days ago, but why can't I pick them today?" Wang Cuixiang was also in the group going to pick mushrooms.
Because he couldn't go up the mountain, he was dissatisfied all the way and kept cursing.
Some military wives listened to her cursing and walked away silently, unwilling to walk with her.
"That's right. They didn't inform us in advance that we couldn't go up the mountain, so we made a wasted trip!" Of course, there were people like Wang Cuixiang who echoed her words.
They have been here for so long without any problems, and suddenly they are not allowed to go up the mountain. No one would be happy about this!
"Yesterday I saw Deputy Colonel He's wife coming down from the mountain with a lot of mushrooms. Her bag was full. She must have been picking mushrooms for a long time, not until the evening."
When Li Xin was mentioned, Wang Cuixiang's face was full of displeasure.
Many people in the compound knew about the last time she had an argument with Li Xin outside the family compound.
"They came down so late to pick the fruits. The mountain was suddenly closed. Could it be related to the two of them?" A military wife nearby suddenly said.
Although they knew very well that closing the mountain could not possibly be related to a military wife picking mushrooms, the dissatisfaction in their hearts made them unable to help but think of Li Xin.
"It's hard to say, otherwise why were she and the political commissar's wife still able to collect yesterday, but were suddenly banned today?" Wang Cuixiang subconsciously raised her voice when she heard this.
Because Liu Xiang helped Li Xin to mediate the fight last time, she and Liu Xiang both held a grudge against each other.
Anyway, she doesn't like Liu Xiang!
…
Li Xin picked a lot of mushrooms yesterday. Since the weather was good and the sun was shining brightly today, he took out the mushrooms he picked yesterday to dry in the sun.
Because we picked so many, we couldn't eat them all. Fresh mushrooms will go bad if left for too long, but after drying them, they can be kept for a long time. In winter when there are few vegetables, we can take them out and soak them in water. After they are soaked, we can eat them.
Food can be stored in the space. When Li Xin was picking food yesterday, he secretly put a lot of it into the space. Those food will be left in there without being exposed to the sun. When he wants to eat, he can take them out and eat them fresh.
She was drying mushrooms in the yard and heard Wang Cuixiang's loud voice from afar.
I looked over and soon saw her and two military wives walking back with empty backpacks on their backs. They didn't look very well.
However, Li Xin already knew about the mountain closure from the military wife who had returned earlier, and now he knew what Wang Cuixiang was dissatisfied with.
Li Xin got an old bed sheet that he didn't plan to use, spread it on the ground, and put all the mushrooms he picked yesterday on it to dry.
There are baskets and baskets in the yard for drying mushrooms, but Li Xin doesn't have those at home, and they can't dry much, so this way she can dry them all at once.
After being spread out, the large patch of mushrooms was particularly eye-catching. When Wang Cuixiang walked into the family compound, she was attracted by the large patch of mushrooms in front of Li Xin at first sight.
I suddenly became jealous.
Why couldn't she pick any mushrooms, but Li Xin could pick so many?
The mushrooms on the mountain were originally ownerless, but when Wang Cuixiang looked at Li Xin, she felt as if she had snatched away the mushrooms that originally belonged to her, and her eyes were filled with jealousy and anger.
"Oh, you're lucky. You picked so many mushrooms just one day before the mountain was closed. If you were a day late, we wouldn't be able to eat them. You live in the same yard, so why didn't you let us know the news?" Wang Cuixiang stood in front of the mushrooms and spoke sarcastically.
The implicit and implicit words all suggested that Li Xin had a backer and had received the news in advance to go mushroom picking.
Li Xin: “What’s wrong!”
This Wang Cuixiang must be seriously ill.
"Why, was I right?" Wang Cuixiang felt that Li Xin was quite good at making connections.
Isn't it that as soon as he comes here, he knows how to curry favor with the political commissar's wife?
"Tsk." Li Xin made a disdainful 'tsk' sound and waved his hand in front of his mushrooms pretentiously, as if he was chasing away flies.
Wang Cuixiang and the other two looked puzzled. They followed her hand and looked, but they didn't see the fly either.
What does it mean?
"Why does it stink so much? What if it stinks up my mushrooms that I picked with so much effort?" Li Xin said as he fanned the air even more vigorously.
Wang Cuixiang was sarcastic, and Li Xin responded with a hint, implying that her bad breath had offended her!
The two military wives and Wang Cuixiang thought for a while before they reacted. The military wife who was originally with Wang Cuixiang couldn't help but cover her mouth and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
"You!" Wang Cuixiang's face flushed red, and she pointed at Li Xin and wanted to curse.
"It really stinks! How can it be so stinky? This smell is too disgusting!" Li Xin also covered his nose. "Wang Cuixiang, did you brush your teeth this morning?"
As a result, the two military wives who were covering their mouths to hold back their laughter seemed to be intoxicated by the stench just like her.
Seeing Wang Cuixiang looking at them angrily, as if she was about to get angry, the two military wives hurried away, fearing that they would be affected by Wang Cuixiang's anger.
"Isn't it just a few broken mushrooms? What's there to be proud of?" Wang Cuixiang was so angry that she wanted to explode. Look at what Li Xin is capable of!
She even wanted to step on the mushrooms in front of Li Xin, but the last time she had a fight with Li Xin, Ding Cheng came back and scolded her.
Although Wang Cuixiang was angry, she still had some rationality and did not take the initiative to make things worse.
"Isn't it true that no one can pick the broken mushrooms?" Li Xin muttered softly, and only she and Wang Cuixiang could hear it.
“…”
Damn, she's about to break down!
