Su Yue watched as Wang Renyi, with a smile on his face, carried a wooden basin to the water vat, squatted down, and began to carefully pick vegetables.
At this moment, Fu Shen spoke up: "This mission is highly sought after by company commanders in the army, all for that vacant battalion commander position. Qiao Honghai's family affairs have been causing a lot of trouble, and many people are waiting for it. Now that the position is open, everyone is eager to try."
Some people have been in the position of company commander for almost ten years without being promoted. They are all prepared to submit their transfer applications when the time comes.
With so many people vying for the position, the military can't just randomly pick a company commander from each battalion and have them sign up.
There's a mission coming up, and we're having a competition. Whoever wins will be qualified to go on the mission, and whoever returns successfully will get a promotion.
Su Yue was still puzzled: "My godmother told me that there are commanders and deputies in a battalion. Why not promote the deputy commander? That way, they won't have to fight for it."
Fu Shen paused for a moment, then said, "I may not have explained myself clearly enough, but what they want to earn is the secondary portion."
He said "battalion commander," but he knew in his heart that he meant "deputy battalion commander." However, Su Yue was not a member of the military and did not understand these intricacies.
Su Yue couldn't help but laugh: "It's my misunderstanding. You said that all company commanders wanted this mission, but you didn't say that deputy battalion commanders also wanted to earn it."
Hearing Su Yue's laughter, Wang Renyi smiled and glanced back, then lowered his head again to continue washing the vegetables diligently.
With an extra person in the household, Su Yue could no longer freely take out meat and vegetables from her spatial storage to eat.
Fortunately, she dried some cured meat, inspired by seeing Wang Jingyi drying vegetables that day.
She didn't dare to show too many, fearing it would cause unnecessary panic, so she only showed two or three pieces.
While other families might only eat meat two or three times every ten days or so, she's already drying cured meat. Luckily, besides Wang Jingyi who comes to visit often, no one else comes to her house.
Zhang Lanhua is very busy every day and rarely comes.
When Wang Jingyi saw Su Yue sunbathing her body this season, she kindly reminded her that autumn would be a better time to do so.
Su Yue didn't explain much, simply saying that she would eat it after drying it for a few days and wouldn't store it.
She thought that leaving it outside during the day and putting it inside at night should be fine.
At this moment, the cured meat is still drying on the bamboo poles in the yard and has not been brought in.
Su Yue looked at Fu Shen, pointed to the cured meat not far away, and said, "Go wash the cured meat, and I'll go get some cucumbers and peppers, crack some eggs and fry them, that'll make two more dishes."
She bought those cucumbers at the small commune and kept them fresh in the space.
Fu Shen responded and went to get two pieces of cured meat.
When Wang Renyi saw Fu Shen carrying two pieces of meat, his eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Brother Shen, where did you get this cured meat?"
Looking at its golden, glossy color, it didn't resemble his mother's blackened clothes at all.
He still remembers that at the end of the year when he was a child, the village would slaughter pigs and distribute the pork. Every household would cook and eat all the pork they received in one night. Only his mother would save most of it to dry in the sun. For a long time afterward, his family still had meat to eat.
Fu Shen: "Your sister-in-law put it in the sun."
As he spoke, he picked up a wooden basin and put the cured meat in it.
These cured pork pieces weren't dried very hard, and there weren't many insects crawling on the surface, but they still looked like they needed to be scalded with hot water to get them clean.
So, Fu Shen went into the kitchen to boil water.
At this moment, Su Yue had already prepared the dishes in the kitchen and was taking them out to wash.
Wang Renyi, quick-witted and agile, stepped forward to take the vegetables and said warmly, "Sister-in-law, give them to me, I'll wash them. I'll take care of all the washing. You can go and rest. Shen Ge and I can handle the cooking tonight."
Seeing his enthusiastic attitude, Su Yue smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
The rice was cooked, but there wasn't enough, so she went into the kitchen and scooped three bowls of rice from her spatial storage into the rice cooker.
