"Go home and tell Uncle Jianguo to remind those educated youth who are stupid and have a lot of money to be more restrained. The countryside is not a place for peace and quiet. If you show off your wealth too much, it will attract thieves."
It's okay if they are just thinking about money, but I'm afraid of those street urchins, scoundrels, and old bachelors who are not only thinking about money, but also about people. After all, they are not stupid. If they are really successful, they will not only have a wife to warm their bed, but also a steady stream of money to spend.
Uncle Jianguo is the team leader and Aunt Lingyu is the director of women's affairs. These city kids left their hometowns and went to the countryside. If something really happened, Uncle Jianguo and Aunt Lingyu would not be able to escape the responsibility.
Wei Qiang understood and nodded, still thinking whether he should go find those old bachelors and scoundrels in the village and give them a warning, when he was glared at and warned by Wei Qingfeng.
"Don't do anything unnecessary. Just go home and talk to Uncle Jianguo. He's the captain and he knows what to do. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's not appropriate for you to interfere."
At this point, Wei Qiang seemed to remember something and turned around to ask: "Have you heard? It seems that a military group has arrived next door. They say they want to open up wasteland and develop the Great Northern Wilderness."
"Opening up wasteland? Here?"
Wei Qingfeng was puzzled. Didn't this start in 1958? Why did they suddenly want to open up wasteland here too?
"Who knows?"
He shrugged. He really didn't know anything about this. He only heard his father mention it once or twice. He said that they were close to the Wusu River and that a military corps would come here to open up wasteland, but they would bypass Magou Village. This matter had nothing to do with him, so he naturally didn't ask much.
The two of them chatted with their heads down while they quickly prepared the meal.
Wei Qingfeng filled a separate bowl with a few pancakes and sent it to his great-uncle before dinner. Not surprisingly, he also brought back a few canned fruits.
"Grandpa Dazhu gave it to me?"
Wei Qingfeng nodded. The old man was the only one in the whole village who loved drinking and eating sweets. He didn't have much, but he had a lot of wine and canned food. He probably used all his pension to buy these.
Steamed locust flowers, locust flower cakes, roe deer meat stewed with potatoes, and spicy diced rabbit.
The portion was large and delicious, successfully filling several people up.
"Sophora japonica flowers are really delicious, but it's a pity that we can only eat them a few times a year."
"Let's go to the mountain again tomorrow and see if we can find any that haven't been bald."
There was a hint of gloating on the corner of Wei Qingfeng's lips, reminding Wei Qiang who was still dreaming.
"Did you forget that you have to go to school tomorrow?"
Wei Qiang is not like him. He skipped grades in elementary and junior high school, so he graduated early.
In addition, they started school two years later than others, and entered high school at the age of seventeen. Wei Qiang likes to skip classes and is not good at studying. He is still struggling with the hurdle of the first year of high school.
Wei Qiang's body stiffened. It was over. He really forgot!
"Why am I still studying here if I can't even pass the college entrance exam..."
A bit embarrassing.
Wei Qingfeng, who is the same age as me, has already graduated and is working as an accountant in the village. He is a good young man praised by everyone in the village.
Even his younger sisters, Wei Yang and Wei Man, successfully graduated this year. It seemed that he was the only one who was still embarrassed among a bunch of teenagers at the age of 19.
"Brother, if you still score in the single digits on this exam, Dad might really hang you from the beam and beat you so hard that even grandma won't be able to stop you."
She couldn't understand it. There weren't any stupid people in her family, so how could someone who saw a word in a book act like "You know me, but I don't know your brother?" and was even held back for two years. If anyone knew about it, it would be so embarrassing.
Wei Qiang sighed, my life is over!
★
A certain military headquarters.
"Captain Gu, there's a package from the guard camp!"
The straight long legs in combat boots stopped in place and turned a corner after a moment.
"Do you need me to send it to him?"
The young soldier nodded hurriedly and pulled out a large package of considerable weight from the security room behind him.
Gu Zhan's eyelids twitched. Another package, even bigger than the last one. Was that little girl going to have trouble? Did she have enough money on her?
"Gu Tuan, there's another one of yours...it's just a little small."
The young soldier scratched his head embarrassedly, and took out a package the size of a combat pack from behind him. Looking at the address, it was mailed from the same place.
Gu Zhan's usually serious expression softened after seeing the address sent by mail, and his aura became warmer, which stunned the young soldier who was used to his indifference.
What happened to Gu Tuan? Did his family send him something good? But hadn't he heard that Gu Tuan's hometown was in Beijing?
"Gu Tuan, just sign it."
Gu Zhan signed his name in a flamboyant manner, picked up the two packages and strode away.
"Captain Gu, what a coincidence."
The woman in military uniform stroked her messy hair uncomfortably, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she looked at Gu Zhan who was coming towards her with a shy smile.
Gu Zhan walked straight past without even raising his eyelids.
He really didn't know who this person was.
The smile on the woman's lips froze, and she awkwardly half-raised her hand to greet him.
The girls hiding aside were so anxious that they stamped their feet. Seeing her useless look, they wanted to rush over to help her.
"Oh my! Why is Yujie taking so long to confess her love? I'm so anxious!"
“That’s right!”
Liao Yujie gritted her teeth, stood in front of Gu Zhan again and stretched out her hand to stop him. She gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, closed her eyes and told him her purpose.
"Captain Gu! I would like to develop a revolutionary friendship with you. Are you willing?"
As soon as the words fell, the air seemed to quiet down. The two rows of recruits pretending to pass by began to march in place, with their ears stretched out. Several female arts soldiers hiding in the dark stamped their feet excitedly, hugged each other and jumped up and down.
Gu Zhan finally pulled his attention away from the package in his hand, raised his eyelids and looked at the female comrade who blocked his way. His sword-like eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and his dark green eyes were calm.
"Who are you?"
Liao Yujie felt as if she had been shot in the chest, causing her expression to change slightly. It turned out that she often hung around him on purpose, but it was all for nothing!
"I'm a cultural soldier, Liao Yujie."
"I don't know him, what's wrong?"
Liao Yujie was hit by an arrow in the chest again, and her face looked even uglier.
"I...I...I mean, I want to develop a revolutionary friendship with you...and make progress together..."
The voice became lower and lower under Gu Zhan's gaze, and finally became almost inaudible.
"Sorry, I'm allergic."
Go around people and leave directly.
Liao Yujie was dumbfounded. She thought of many scenarios and excuses for him to accept or reject her, but the only one she hadn't thought of was this answer.
Her eyes instantly turned red, and after being hugged and comforted, she couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
"Wow...woo, woo, if he doesn't want to, then he doesn't want to. What's the point of saying he's allergic? I'm such a beautiful girl, and he actually despises me and says he's allergic? Woo, he's not a man!"
A woman crying in the street will attract attention, but what makes people turn their heads even more is that a beautiful woman with a good figure is crying.
Gu Zhan walked quickly and disappeared in a short while.
However, in just half a day, the news that Captain Gu had made a female soldier cry again spread throughout the regiment in an instant, which was a sad thing.
