The next morning, Shi Zhentang returned to the army for special training.
Tian Yuzhu carried the wooden barrel and left the military area and went to the mountain.
She felt that the wooden barrel was heavy and clumsy. It would be much easier to weave a basket out of bamboo.
Picking perilla seeds is not easy. You have to pick the perilla fruits in clusters and then dry them in the sun.
After drying, rub off the soft shells on the perilla leaves and seeds, and the remaining seeds can be used to extract oil.
Although the process is not easy, the natural oil produced is of very high quality.
What's more, it's wild.
In short, Tian Yuzhu didn't feel tired at all, and even... she liked this self-sufficient life.
It took about an hour to pick a full bucket.
Tian Yuzhu discovered that there was a large area of white basil over the mountain.
She thought of asking Zhao Cui and her sister-in-law Wang Xiu Di to come with her, as she couldn't pick all the fruits by herself anyway.
So I went home, poured the perilla seeds in the bucket into a winnowing basket to dry, and then went to call them.
The two sisters-in-law are not locals and usually don't pay attention to this kind of knowledge. How could they know that the seeds of this wild plant can be used to extract oil?
So he quickly picked up the bucket and followed Tian Yuzhu out the door.
Who would have thought that as soon as we walked onto the main road, we met the team leader's wife Liu Xiaohui.
Liu Xiaohui went to the county town to visit her child these two days, and we haven't seen each other for several days.
This sudden meeting reminded her of the unpleasantness she and Wang Xiu Di had because someone had said behind Captain Shi's wife's back that she was a fool.
Now that we've all met now, it's impossible not to talk.
Liu Xiaohui pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly: "Sister-in-law."
Wang Xiu Di got angry when she saw her. She thought about the secret she had told her and how she actually told everyone about it. She felt that there was no way she could get along with her.
So he just said "hmm" coldly and passed by.
Zhao Cui knew why the two of them broke up, so she didn't dare say anything and just followed them forward.
Of course, Tian Yuzhu knew the reason, and she didn't even know Liu Xiaohui, so she went straight over.
Liu Xiaohui stared at the three of them in silence and opened her mouth: "..."
Well, she really regrets it now.
If I had known this would happen, I should have kept my mouth shut. We see each other everywhere, and it must be so uncomfortable to be isolated!
When I got home, I lay down on the bed angrily.
…
Tian Yuzhu and the other two did not mention Liu Xiaohui on the way, but instead mentioned Huang Xuehua, saying that she had broken a lot of bowls.
Wang Xiudi thought there was no one around, so she reminded him, "Yuzhu, Huang Xuehua has always been dissatisfied with the fact that her man didn't get promoted to the rank of battalion commander. She may target you in the future. You have to be prepared."
"This woman is no ordinary woman. She has the temper of a capitalist lady. No one can do anything to her."
"You've noticed during the time she's been here. She doesn't usually interact with us. She always thinks she's so great."
Zhao Cui asked in confusion: "Sister-in-law, since she is the eldest daughter, why did you choose to be a military wife?"
Being a military wife is an honor, but it is very hard work.
Sometimes the man doesn't come home for several months while on a mission, and the wife has to take care of all the big and small things at home.
If you can't join the army, you will be like a widow in your hometown, and you will only see your parents twice a year.
Wang Xiudi said bluntly, "Her parents were thrown into the bullpen. Who would dare to marry her at that time? I guess she only sought out He Ziqiang to have a place to stay."
"So they have no feelings for each other?"
“…”
Zhao Cui felt that she talked too much and didn't know how to answer after asking others a question.
So he quickly made up for it by saying, "It doesn't make sense that they don't have feelings for each other. They have a child together."
"They do have a child who also goes to school in the city."
As for which city it was, Wang Xiu Di didn't know.
We chatted like this until we reached the mountain.
Tian Yuzhu taught them where to pick the fruits.
Then the three of them started picking the fruits with great enthusiasm.
"Yuzhu, is this perilla seed oil enough?"
Seeing that they could obtain oil in this way, Wang Xiu Di and Zhao Cui were both very happy.
After all, every penny saved on a man's salary counts.
Tian Yuzhu casually gave them some knowledge: "One kilogram of perilla seeds can make one kilogram of oil. Although it may not seem like a large amount, this oil is of very high quality and contains a lot of nutrients, including 18 essential amino acids and trace elements for the human body..."
Well!!!
She talks too much.
Both sisters-in-law were stunned.
"Yuzhu, how do you know so much?"
Although they only understood that it was very nutritious, they had no idea what the other information was.
Tian Yuzhu quickly smiled and said, "Zhentang taught me."
Wang Xiudi immediately praised him, "That's right. I heard Captain Shi loves reading, so he must have learned a lot. Well, it seems reading a lot does have its benefits."
Zhao Cui's face was filled with happiness. "My son is not so good. It's harder to get him to read than to get him to hold a gun."
The three of them laughed at the same time...
An hour and a half later, everyone returned with a full load.
And there are still many white basil seeds on the mountain that have not been picked.
Wang Xiu Di made an appointment to go pick them again after two o'clock in the afternoon.
Then everyone went back home to dry the perilla seeds, but before they could go their separate ways, they were stopped by Liu Xiaohui, who was wearing an apron.
Liu Xiaohui was angry for a while after returning home, but later she figured it out.
It seems that she has to give in first, otherwise she will be miserable every day in the future.
Furthermore, because of this matter, her husband Zhang Yuejin also expressed his dissatisfaction with her.
Zhang Yuejin is the head of the regiment.
As a daughter-in-law, if she doesn't have a good relationship with the military wives, isn't that destroying his rear?
