Chapter 171 Where is his wife again?
The Song family stayed in the military compound for a month, but Song Bao's job was still not resolved.
I didn't get the money back, and now my only five yuan has been blown away by the wind.
Wei Shufen plopped down on the ground, saying, "How am I supposed to live like this?"
I went to the military compound, but I got nothing and ended up with a huge debt from buying train tickets.
Song Qian tapped her on the forehead with his pipe: "How are we supposed to get by? How do you think we're supposed to get by? It's all your fault."
If she hadn't let go, he would still be entitled to two yuan and fifty cents.
"You owe me two yuan and fifty cents."
Song Qian reached out and hit Wei Shufen.
For Wei Shufen, such verbal abuse was commonplace.
She's lived like this for so many years.
Every woman in the village was beaten.
But suddenly, she remembered that during the month she spent in the military compound, she had never seen Song Zhan hit Shen Wanjun.
The son treats his wife incredibly well; he never lets her do anything and even washes her feet.
Compared to Song Qian, his father was simply a piece of trash.
They can't afford to support their family, yet they want to have a bunch of children.
Wei Shufen had suffered injustice for half her life, but suddenly she woke up.
How dare he hit her! What right did he have to hit her!
She raised her hand to fight back; because she had worked in the fields for many years, she was very strong.
Song Qian enjoyed a life of good fortune. He was still quite strong when he was young, but now he's just a frail old man.
Wei Shufen knocked him to the ground with a single punch.
Both of them were stunned. Wei Shufen clenched her fists. She hadn't realized how powerful she was.
The old man is so fragile.
She howled and pounced on him, pinning Song Qian to the ground and giving him a good beating.
Song Bao stood aside, like an observer.
He wouldn't help anyone; all he could think about was finding a wife.
The New Year is over, and he has no money, no job, and where is his wife?
March is a time of renewal, a good time for clearing land.
During their free time, soldiers also farm.
If there isn't enough food, clearing out more land will yield an extra bag of grain.
Song Zhan led his soldiers in a busy and enthusiastic effort, while the wives of the soldiers volunteered to help with the cooking.
Two large pots were set up at the foot of the mountain, with Dang Xianghong and Feng Xiang each in charge of one.
One person is stir-frying vegetables, and the other is boiling noodles.
Shen Wanjun sat around the table, picking vegetables with Gao Xiaoman.
Since Zhang Guoqing had a serious talk with her last time, Gao Xiaoman is no longer so obsessed with having a son.
During the Chinese New Year holiday, she hardly left the house and stayed in bed to rest during her pregnancy.
Now that the weather is warmer, she has taken the initiative to come out for a walk.
Gao Xiaoman's belly looked very big, so no one dared to ask her to do any heavy or strenuous work.
She wasn't there to work; she was just there to make an appearance and go through the motions.
As husband and wife, she couldn't let Zhang Guoqing down.
Shen Wanjun was around the same stage of pregnancy as her, but from behind, it was almost impossible to tell that she was pregnant.
While cooking, Dang Xianghong talked to everyone about gossip about Bai Lu's family.
"I never would have guessed that her family was involved in organized crime."
Feng Xiang: "Jiang Weiguo's father was actually a desperate criminal."
On the day the Jiang and Bai families clashed, many people were seriously injured and sent to the hospital.
Before his injuries had even healed, he was locked up in the police station again.
"I heard that Bai Lu had someone do it when Wang Ming was injured last time."
Dang Xianghong lowered her voice, and everyone sighed inwardly.
Hao Mei leaned closer and asked, "What gossip are you talking about?"
Dang Xianghong and Feng Xiang exchanged a glance. Dang Xianghong pretended to be busy, while Feng Xiang bent down to wipe the little dumpling's face.
Shen Wanjun came to their rescue, saying, "We were discussing what to plant on this land."
The barren land at the foot of the mountain receives little sunlight, and the harvests of corn and wheat are generally not very good.
Hao Mei also helped pick vegetables, showing no airs of a leader.
She said, "I estimate we'll be planting potatoes, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and the like."
This land is quite hard, and clearing it up relied entirely on manual labor.
Song Zhan took off his coat and started working diligently in his gray vest.
Others followed suit.
In an instant, countless strong men were waving their heads and sweating profusely.
Everywhere you look, there are muscles, all with a beautiful bronze color.
This caused the military wives to frequently turn around and look.
At first, they only watched secretly.
Shen Wanjun took the lead in looking at her husband, and the others followed suit, becoming bolder.
They soon stopped looking at their own husbands and stopped looking at Shen Wanjun's husband themselves.
Dang Xianghong said enviously, "Sister, how did your husband get such a great physique?"
A waist is a waist, and a bottom is a bottom; she looks good from every angle.
So pleasing to the eye, so very pleasing to the eye.
Shen Wanjun generously said to everyone, "If you like watching, then watch more."
It wasn't a wasted trip.
A short while later, a young soldier brought over a bunch of wildflowers.
He handed the flowers to Gao Xiaoman.
Gao Xiaoman asked in surprise, "Who sent this?"
The soldier said, "Your wife asked me to give this to you."
Gao Xiaoman glanced in Zhang Guoqing's direction. "Old Zhang is quite something," she thought, "he even knows to send her flowers and create a little romance."
Gao Xiaoman stomped her feet happily and showed off the flowers everywhere.
“This was sent by my husband. He is so thoughtful.”
"While clearing the land, he was still thinking of me."
Gao Xiaoman is happy, but she also has to put others down.
Dang Xianghong rolled her eyes at her, saying, "What's so great about a bunch of wildflowers?"
Soon, the soldiers returned.
He said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, these flowers aren't for you."
"What did you say?"
Gao Xiaoman said unhappily, "Didn't you just say that this was a gift from my lover?"
The soldier said, "This was given to Comrade Shen by Commander Song. I've mistaken the person for someone else."
Knowing that the regimental commander's wife was pregnant, he looked around and only saw the pregnant Gao Xiaoman.
Shen Wanjun was wearing loose clothing, so it was hard to tell that she was pregnant.
Song Zhan saw Gao Xiaoman holding his flowers from afar, and only then did he realize that he had made a misunderstanding.
He confessed again, "The prettiest woman over there is my wife."
The soldier spotted Shen Wanjun at a glance, and Song Zhan nodded in satisfaction.
Gao Xiaoman threw the flowers on the ground in displeasure and angrily wanted to leave, but then she remembered what Zhang Guoqing had told her before he left.
She stopped again and the machine helped with the work.
He was certain that the blunder just now was definitely something Shen Wanjun had done on purpose.
—Just to show off, she married a loving and caring husband.
Gao Xiaoman craned her neck to look at Zhang Guoqing and noticed many wildflowers at his feet.
But he didn't even look, he just plunged in and dug it to pieces.
After delivering the food, Zhang Kuan brought over a beautiful female dog, saying it was a mate for the baboon.
Dang Xianghong laughed and said, "No wonder it keeps barking at night, it's missing its wife."
Zhang Kuan: "They might be in heat."
The crowd gathered around, as if watching a spectacle.
Upon seeing the beautiful female dog, the baboon bared its teeth and launched an attack.
Zhang Kuan was both amused and exasperated; the baboon was surprisingly averse to women.
He had no choice but to flee in a sorry state, leading the female dog.
As Shen Wanjun watched the departing figure of the man and two dogs, she felt that something was amiss.
The baboon used to only call at night, but recently it has been calling both day and night.
It gives people a headache.
That evening, Hao Mei knocked on Shen Wanjun's door and whispered, "I need your help with something."
She briefly explained her purpose: the compound had intercepted enemy telegrams, but they were in English.
I need Shen Wanjun's help with a translation.
The enemy's radio station was near the military area, and the baboons' frantic calls weren't due to being in heat.
Instead, it was affected by radio wave interference.
