With a burning gaze fixed on Qin Qinghuai, Zheng Aiguo made up his mind to talk to his close brothers when he got back. Don't think he didn't know; there were many people who didn't understand the political commissar. He had heard people say that the political commissar was weak and helpless, and that if any conflict broke out, someone like him would only be a hindrance on the battlefield.
The implication, both overt and covert, is that this political commissar is inferior to the political commissar of another battalion, who is skilled in both civil and military affairs.
After the previous political commissar left, some people privately discussed whether a new political commissar would be promoted from below. In the end, after many changes, a new one was parachuted in, but there were still some people who were dissatisfied.
Zheng Aiguo's expression was so enthusiastic and serious that even Qin Qinghuai couldn't quite grasp it, but he still gave his final instructions.
"This is just something we're talking about; it's not even close to being finalized yet, so let's not go out and talk about it."
Tomorrow I'll call Political Commissar Cheng over there to ask for advice. If it's feasible, I'll have the books sent over first. They've been doing this for so long, they must have accumulated a lot of experience. In the spring, I'll have two more experienced people sent over. If we combine theory with practice, I don't believe the cadres will rise up.
Alright, this isn't something that can be done in a couple of days, there's no rush.
The pig slaughter this afternoon will probably be quite a spectacle. You guys go back and relax with them; you don't need to follow me. I'll be going to the camp in a bit.”
So, they were given the afternoon off.
Zheng Aiguo nodded in agreement with a straight face, thinking to himself that he would wait and see, and that he would make those people look at him with new respect when he achieved results.
Each person received a piece of braised roe deer meat.
"We can't give it to all twenty or so people, so let's give it to those two young soldiers. They've been helping us all day and haven't even had a meal."
Then these two pieces will be sent to Battalion Commander Xu and the Regiment Commander, and the other two are for the two of you.”
"Sister-in-law, what about ours?"
Zheng Aiguo scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and chuckled.
"Political Commissar, sister-in-law, aren't we taking advantage of this situation?"
Qin Yi was already used to it.
"Oh dear, you really are something. Just take what your sister-in-law gave you. There's a long road ahead. As long as we take good care of the political commissar, that's better than anything else."
If you're really embarrassed, we'll try to be more frequent runners around the house for chores in the future, okay?
Simple smiled and nodded, then put two more apples and the two pheasants she had prepared along the way into the basket.
"These are for you, take them back as a snack."
Qin Yi is right. Once you're in the army, you're all brothers, so we're no strangers either. Northeasterners are all very generous. If you keep acting like this, it won't be good.
These two chickens are also your spoils. You can decide for yourselves whether to take them back to the chef for special treatment or freeze them.
Let's go, let's go.
The two squeezed out and asked briefly.
"Aren't you going? It's already afternoon, and if we dawdle any longer it will be dark."
No rush.
Qin Qinghuai closed the door, went inside, and quickly cleared the table out.
"I bet the activity over there this afternoon is slaughtering a pig. Which piece of meat would you like to eat? I'll bring it back for you."
I just finished eating, and right now I really can't say what I want to eat. But I've never really liked wild boar meat. I just went along with the crowd before so that no one would say anything.
Now that she has plenty of resources and lacks nothing, she suddenly doesn't want to suffer anymore.
He glanced at Qin Qinghuai.
"I don't like wild boar meat, but we got a roe deer today. Why don't Political Commissar Qin show some magnanimity?"
Qin Qinghuai smiled and shook his head.
"I was wondering when my cooking skills became so good that I could even make wild boar taste like domestic pork. Turns out, it's because the ingredients have been upgraded."
Simple eyelids twitched.
"When did you find out?"
After putting away the washed dishes and chopsticks and wiping the kitchen clean, I simply pushed her back to her room.
"What difference does it make when we find out? We're husband and wife, not strangers."
I will respect your secret if I tell you; if you don't tell me, I won't ask.
Alright, I've been working hard all day. The kang (heated brick bed) is warm, so I'd better rest for a while. I'll go back to the camp first.
It's going to be lively over there later; other family members will be going too. Shall we go and take a look?
"No, you go ahead. I'm going to take a nap and won't join in the fun."
Everyone had already left, but Jian Dan was still standing there, seemingly stunned. It was as if, after getting married, her wariness of this man had been decreasing, and now she subconsciously didn't even want to lie to him anymore.
I don't know if this is a good thing or not.
However, she herself was surprised that she was able to adapt to married life so quickly.
It seems that this man is indeed as he said before marriage: he can eat and sleep whenever he wants, and he has almost no restrictions on her. Her quality of life before marriage has not declined at all after marriage; on the contrary, it has improved a lot. Most of the housework, such as laundry, cooking, and housework, has been shared with her.
Even the daily work and the job going up the mountain that we used to do are gone.
She was very generous with money. Not only his own allowance, but also the things mailed from the capital, money, bankbooks, and houses were all in her hands.
Putting aside this family compound, in this day and age, there aren't many people who could live as freely as she does anywhere else.
Thinking about it that way, she felt relieved.
Why overthink things when just living life?
At least for now, it seems her judgment was correct. Nowadays, most men are chauvinistic, so it's not easy for her to do this.
Lost in thought, I fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dark, and the house was quiet; the person probably hadn't returned yet.
I got up quickly, turned on the lamp, stretched a bit, and went outside to take a look. There were lights in the direction of the camp, so I guessed that was their pig-slaughtering feast.
