Simplicity is a helpless choice.
Does she want this kind of fame? Probably not.
What brings you here?
Cheng Chao wandered around the yard and house, looking everything over, and upon hearing this, he began to find fault.
"Oh, so you're already disowning your own brother right after getting married?"
She simply rolled her eyes and ignored him. This guy...
"Fifth Brother, please sit wherever you like. I'll pour you some water."
"Girl, did you really marry that Political Commissar Qin?"
"Brother Wu, why are you so gossipy?"
Bagua?
Xiao Wu shook his head, making sure Cheng Chao couldn't hear him, and whispered...
I'm not a gossip.
"Girl, let me tell you, Brother Chao told the political commissar, 'This Political Commissar Qin is a cunning old fox. He wants to check if you've been bullied.' Then the commissar said, 'Does your sister also have to be over thirty and still not have a wife?'"
"Huh? Didn't Uncle say he wasn't going to rush him?"
"Hey!"
Xiao Wu looked mysterious, peeked into the room to see if Cheng Chao was there, and lowered his voice.
"Originally, the political commissar didn't want to get involved, but after you got married, he was always happy whenever he talked about Political Commissar Qin. My second aunt was also happy when she talked about you twice. And when Brother Chao showed up in front of them again, the political commissar couldn't stand it."
And another thing, recently, the political commissar went to the commune and the county town for meetings several times, and coincidentally, he encountered weddings every time, with music and fanfare. Then, during the meetings, Secretary Lin even joked with Brother Chao, saying that there were also weddings in the nearby villages. There's an old saying in the countryside: "Getting a wife makes the New Year easier."
As a result, the political commissar grew increasingly displeased with Chao Ge.
I couldn't help but laugh.
"That is indeed a worrying thing. You know, all these years, why haven't you had any female colleagues or officers in the army? My brother has been traveling all these years, but he hasn't met anyone he likes either?"
Xiao Wu chuckled.
"We don't know, but Brother Chao gets impatient whenever marriage is mentioned."
Having known him for several years, I can tell that he seems genuinely indifferent to relationships. Since we met, it seems that I'm the only woman he's ever been around, or perhaps we just don't see each other often.
"Huh? He really is single. How can he manage to not have a single special person of the opposite sex around him?"
Cheng Chao's face darkened as soon as he entered the room.
"What's wrong? They're pressuring you to get married, so you're doing it too?"
"No, no, no,"
Not wanting to really piss off, Jian Dan quickly changed the subject.
"Brother, what do you think of this place? Isn't it better than that little courtyard over there?"
"It's alright,"
Cheng Chao didn't hide his disdain; looking at the clothes on the clothesline outside, he couldn't help but frown.
"Why did you wash so many clothes all at once in the middle of winter?"
"ah?"
I didn't even notice the simple things.
"Oh, I don't know. He probably washed it before he left this morning."
Cheng Chao's smile softened slightly, but he still forced it down.
"Oh, really?"
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes from behind, just keep being stubborn!
"Brother, how's things going over there? It's freezing cold, is it possible to rebuild the camp?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Chao really sighed.
“We have no choice but to build them. Military tents can only be used as an emergency measure. If the temperature drops further, no one can stand it.”
Fortunately, the other side's main targets were the warehouse, greenhouses, and breeding area. The dormitories here were not affected much. The other side did not intend to kill anyone. They probably burned down three dormitories to vent their anger. A few brothers were knocked unconscious by the smoke, but there were no casualties.
That's easy to fix. The walls and foundation are still there, and the guys have already rebuilt the top over the past few days. It'll only take a few days, so the impact won't be too big.
The most serious damage was to the warehouse and the pigsty area. They had been observing those areas for several days, and then, taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, they secretly spread gasoline and buried several explosive charges. Otherwise, the rescue wouldn't have been delayed.
"Is this grand gesture intended to drive you to the brink of despair so you'll have to back down?"
"Don't they know you have money?"
"Are you stupid? They know we have money, so why would they let us buy food?"
During this period, even the normal grain supply in the county town has been strictly controlled, barely exceeding the minimum level, for fear that someone might have surplus grain to support us.
Moreover, according to Secretary Xi's people, there are also suspicious people watching the only way out of the county. I guess if a car really goes out, the other party has already prepared a countermeasure.
Girl, I have to say, if it weren't for you this time, we would have been completely lost.
"But what were you thinking? How did you manage to bury such a large quantity of grain in your yard? How dare you? Weren't you afraid someone would actually discover it?"
This is really unexpected.
"I discovered it by accident. It was empty at the time, and I didn't intend to do anything with it. I just put a doghouse on it."
Later, I didn't think about it until last year's heavy snow, and then it was the refugees again. I thought it wouldn't hurt to prepare more, so I found an opportunity to deposit some money.
Nothing happened all year. I left in a hurry and didn't think about it. It was only when you said there was no food that I remembered.”
"you,"
Cheng Chao pointed at her, at a loss for words. He had assumed she had dug it herself. Considering the size of Jian Dan's cellar, he had only brought two carts. At the time, he thought that a cellar could hold so much, and one cart would be the most he could fit.
When I got there, I was completely dumbfounded.
He dug up the soil, lifted the cover, and carried things out for half a day. The truck was full but he still couldn't see the bottom. He knew something was wrong, so he urgently sent Xiao Wu back to call three more trucks. He thought that filling five trucks would be a lot.
