Chapter 8



It is impossible to introduce someone to someone else.

This is just a topic for mutual slander.

After bickering all the way to the communications room, they looked at the long queue of people and turned around in silence to go to the team leader's office.

"Why are you two here?" The leader of the Third Regiment, Zhou Cheng, was only a few years older than the two of them. Not only was he not pretentious when interacting with them on a daily basis, he would also squat with a teacup and brag with them.

Seeing the two people coming over, Fang Yuan immediately smiled and said, "Let's go to my house for dinner tonight. Your sister-in-law received some bacon sent from her hometown today. Steam it in the pot and it will taste delicious!"

Shao Zheng pointed out: "I think you are using me and Lao Chen as an excuse to drink, right? Your sister-in-law is controlling you for your own good."

Zhou Cheng is a good person in every way except that he is very concerned about his reputation in some aspects. He is clearly a henpecked husband, but he refuses to admit it, just like now.

He immediately glared, his back straightened, and yelled with his neck stiff, "What nonsense are you talking about? Can your sister-in-law control me? I am the head of the family. What kind of things in the family can be beyond my control?!"

Seeing his timid appearance, Shao Zheng twitched his lips and wondered who was the last person to beg for mercy by having his sister-in-law pull his ears?

But he had other things to do right now, so he was too lazy to argue with him. He raised his chin towards Lao Chen and pulled the captain out: "I'll take the guy who's in the way away, you hurry up."

Zhou Cheng tried to struggle: "What do you mean? What are you going to do?"

Shao Zheng: "Old Chen, call home. There are too many people in the communications room."

"Just call me, why are you asking me to do that?"

"To prevent you from eavesdropping."

"Hey, why are you swearing? Am I that kind of person?"

".Who are you!"

= The village committee is built next to the old secretary’s house.

There was no heated bed in the house, so after making the phone call, the group went to the old secretary's house to wait.

Here, Chen Nongmo not only received a red envelope from the fourth uncle, but also had a lot of food stuffed into his arms.

For example, a handful of sunflower seeds, a dozen peanuts, or one or two candies wrapped in hard candy paper.

When all the money was saved together, her two pockets were filled to the brim. It was all given by the villagers who gathered at the village chief's house.

The weather was too cold. Not only were the fields frozen, but they were also covered with thick snow, making it impossible to farm.

At this time of year every year, the villagers would basically bring a bundle of firewood and gather at the old secretary's house to chat, and at the same time weave baskets, repair farm tools, or make some hemp ropes.

After all, the hardworking and simple villagers can't sit idle.

Besides, the Chinese New Year is approaching, so no matter how ordinary the conditions at home are, we can still save some snacks.

Then, today all the benefits went to Chen Nongmo.

"The little girl is very well-behaved. I thought she would be a delicate young lady. Now you can rest assured." Just as Chen Nongmo was squatting among a group of old men and women helping with work and dealing with various problems with good temper, the old secretary, who had been observing for a while, took two puffs of his cigarette and sighed with a smile.

Before he knew his daughter's character, it was inevitable that Chen Zong would worry about his wife who was in poor health. His expression did not change, and he only said in a deep voice: "Yu Yu is fine. I think there will be no snow in the next two or three days. You can gather the people."

Knowing that he didn't want to talk about the girl, the old secretary showed a helpless smile on his wrinkled face: "Can an old man eat a little girl? After all, they are the descendants of Demao, so why do we need to call them together? They are all waiting for you. As long as you are sure, I can just shout it out with a loud speaker."

Chen Zong is the best hunter in the area. He leads everyone into the mountains for a few days every December. This year, because he has to pick up the baby girl from Demao's family, he is later than in previous years. Several villagers have come to ask him about it.

"Then let's gather at my house at six o'clock the day after tomorrow morning." Chen Zong poured himself a cup of tea and made the decision.

"Okay! We've also given two places to the educated youth this year. City kids are delicate, so you need to take good care of them and make sure they don't get hurt."

"Um"

"Grandpa, the phone is ringing." The naughty boy of eight or nine years old didn't feel cold at all. He rushed into the house and shouted in the biting cold.

The old secretary knocked his pipe on the table, stood up with his hands behind his back and walked out, accompanied by Chen Nongmo and his group.

It was Chen Wuwen calling! The voice on the phone was very clear. Chen Nongmo stood aside, holding his breath and listening to the content of the call.

So Chen Nongmo moved closer to Qiuhua's mother and unconsciously rested his head on her shoulder, listening to his eldest brother's simple and clear description of the general situation after his parents arrived in H City.

Militarized management, taking ideological and political classes, reading Mao's works and writing self-criticisms. Although it sounds very unfree, it is much better than Chen Nongmo thought.

Of course, these good things are just hearsay.

She thought that maybe she should find an opportunity to go and see for herself. "Yuyu, do you want to talk to big brother?" After getting the information she wanted to know and telling the eldest brother about the little girl, Cao Qiuhua, in order to save time, gave the phone to the father and his two sons.

Chen Nongmo came back to his senses from his myriad thoughts, hesitated for a few seconds and shook his head, whispering: "Next time, I want to write a letter to my eldest brother first. Mother Qiuhua, can you tell me in detail, who did my eldest brother ask for a favor?"

Cao Qiuhua patted the girl's thin shoulders and said with some amusement: "Little girl, you have a lot of things to worry about. That person is Shao Zheng, and he is your eldest brother's friend."

= The other side.

Chen Wuwen felt uncomfortable when he learned from his mother that his half-sister, whom he had never met, was sent to Shanshun Village due to various coincidences.

Even though he knew his sister was still young and had been in the same situation before, and had no ability to take care of herself, he still felt uncomfortable.

This may be because he doesn't know how to get along with his sister.

It is more likely that when I was a child, my old man broke his promises many times because I had to take my sister to see a doctor.

When he was young, he felt angry and lost.

Obviously, he is also his father's child.

Even though the old man later made an appointment to come back to see him, the feeling of loss he felt at that time could not be offset.

As the sense of loss and gap accumulated, Chen Wuwen's feelings towards his biological sister, who was 13 years younger than him, gradually became complicated.

Of course, that was once upon a time.

Now that he has grown up, he understands more and knows that the disappointments in the past were not anyone's fault, but were simply caused by too many unavoidable circumstances.

However, he still didn't know how to face his biological sister. Chen Wuwen hesitated, maybe he should apply for a home visit leave.

"What are you thinking about? Did something happen at home?" Shao Zheng, who was squatting under the eaves chatting with the team leader, turned around when he heard the noise. After seeing the heavy expression on Lao Chen's face, he frowned, waved to the team leader, and walked away for a distance before asking his question.

"fine."

"Then why do you look like that?"

Chen Wuwen rubbed his face and said, "My sister has arrived in Shanshun Village."

Hearing this, Shao Zheng raised his beautiful eyebrows: "Are you talking about Chen Nongmo?"

Chen Wuwen squinted at him, and said in a rather sarcastic tone: "You remember it clearly."

Shao Zheng was so angry at the way he looked at the animal that his teeth ached. He punched the man and cursed through gritted teeth: "What the hell is that look? Isn't your sister my sister? Besides, your names are so easy to remember, isn't it normal to remember them?"

"Cough cough." Chen Wuwen narrowly dodged the incoming fist and coughed uncomfortably.

Of course he believed in Lao Shao's character. He didn't know what happened just now, but he subconsciously became suspicious and told it directly to Tulu.

Chen Wuwen wanted to apologize, but when he heard what Lao Shao said next, his face immediately turned black: "Bullshit! How can it be your sister? We are not familiar with each other! She is my sister!!!"

Shao Zheng was speechless. This guy who said one thing but acted upright actually acted awkwardly just now.

Shao Zheng, too lazy to talk to anyone, strode forward. His old friend's family issues had been resolved, so he felt relieved and too lazy to talk to anyone anymore. He had to go check on the team.

Chen Wuwen chased after him, ignoring his friend's sullen face, and muttered to himself: "Tell me, what kind of things do teenage girls like?"

Shao Zheng: "How about I wait until Sunday and go to the city to look for flowery cotton jackets?"

Shao Zheng: "No, wouldn't it make me look stingy if I only buy a coat? What else should I buy? Hey? Talk!"
