Shen Zhengrong has been following Zhou Yubai since he was a child. In his heart, Zhou Yubai is his second elder brother.
Now the big brother in his heart suddenly called him brother. Although he was not very used to it, it did not prevent him from feeling a sense of joy in his heart.
He scratched the back of his head and shook his head: "No."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you want my little sister to call or write to you, try not to send her money."
He knows his younger sister best.
He is a heartless guy. He has been in the army for so many years, and whenever his younger sister has money to spend, she never thinks of him as her third brother.
I only write to him when I have no money to spend.
Normally when my sister wrote to him to ask for money, the words she chose were as sweet as honey, a true sugar-coated bullet.
In fact, sometimes I think that although my little sister has many flaws, she also has many advantages that make her lovable.
Otherwise, he and his second brother wouldn't have been in such a conflict for so many years. On the one hand, he was dissatisfied with his father's favoritism towards the younger sister, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but pamper the younger sister and fulfill her every request.
Zhou Yubai frowned slightly after listening to Shen Zhengrong's suggestion.
Before he returned to the team, he had already made an agreement with his wife that he would remit his salary to her every month.
If he stops sending her money after returning to the team, wouldn't he be breaking his promise to his own wife?
A real man stands between heaven and earth. Without faith, what kind of man is he?
He gave Shen Zhengrong a stern look, "Bad idea."
Then he strode away.
Shen Zhengrong stood there in a daze for a long time before he reacted and shouted at Zhou Yubai's back: "Hey, I'm your third uncle now, how can you talk to me like this?"
Zhou Yubai ignored Shen Zhengrong's shouting behind him, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
Whenever he has free time during this period, the delicate and soft appearance of his wife will unconsciously appear in his mind.
Doesn’t his wife miss him at all?
Why is there neither letter nor phone call?

"A-choo, A-choo!"
Shen Chu Ning sneezed twice when he got up early in the morning.
She rubbed the tip of her nose, "Who is thinking about me?"
While muttering to herself, she hung the tofu she had packed last night on the bicycle, took out the fish from the bucket and put them into a woven bag, which she also tied to the bicycle.
There was an ugly gray-blue bag tied to the crossbar of her bicycle. The bag was sent to her by Old Man Shen last night.
It contained weapons for her to defend herself.
A bamboo tube filled with pepper powder and chili powder, and a simple mace with wooden nails on it.
Shen Chu Ning went out on a bicycle.
It was still just dawn.
Peng Kaiyuan's family lived in the commune staff dormitory next to the commune office.
The staff dormitory is similar to the commune office, with a row of tiled houses inside a small courtyard.
Commune employees who need to live in dormitories can apply for it.
But most of the people working in the commune live in the commune or in nearby villages, so they don’t need to live in the dormitory.
So now only Peng Kaiyuan and Yin Linjiang live in the commune’s staff dormitory.
When she went there, Peng Kaiyuan was squatting under the eaves brushing his teeth with an enamel cup in his hand.
Seeing her coming, the old man quickly brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth, then greeted her, "Girl, why are you coming to my place instead of going directly to the office?"
Shen Chuning took down the fish and tofu hanging on the bicycle, "Teacher, I made tofu last night, and my second brother sent me a few fish. I'll bring them here and leave them with you. I'll make you crucian carp and tofu soup at noon."
When Peng Kaiyuan heard what Shen Chuning said, he laughed and said, "You girl brought me braised pork yesterday, and today you're going to make me crucian carp and tofu soup. You won't stop until you make me fat!"
When Shen Chuning took the crucian carp and tofu into the old man's room, she knew why her second brother asked her second sister-in-law to remind her to take care of the old man's life.
Although the old man's room was clean and tidy, the bedding on the bed was not only completely faded, but even the cotton thread looked tattered from being washed so many times.
Even through the quilt cover that was as thin as a fishing net, you could see that the cotton wool inside had turned yellow and black. It must be at least 10 to 20 years old.
How can you keep warm if you cover yourself with cotton wool like this?
Looking at the clothes hung on the clothes hanger that the old man had tied with two bamboo poles in the house, there were only a few clothes except for the Zhongshan suit that the old man wore to work every day, which had fewer patches.
The other clothes on the hangers, although washed clean, were patched up with patches.
I only have one sweater to wear in winter, and it was patched up with a piece of cloth after it had a hole in the back.
She didn't see many pairs of the teacher's shoes in the room, except for the pair of thousand-layer soles on her feet, which were a little worn out on the soles and uppers.
It seems that when she makes shoes, she has to reserve another pair for the teacher.
After she finishes her assessment this month, the busy farming season of autumn harvest and planting will be almost over.
At that time, she can spare some time to learn knitting sweaters and sewing shoe soles from Sister He Hui.
She used to only think about how to eat well and how to dress herself up beautifully. When she lived in a daze, she didn't realize how useless she was because she didn't know how to do anything.
Now that I want to live a good life, I realize what it means that one only regrets not having enough knowledge when he or she needs it, and that having many skills is always a waste.
Sure enough, debts owed must be repaid, and wasted time also needs to be made up.
After Shen Chuning secretly made note of the things he needed to buy for the teacher, he went to the commune with the teacher.
In the following time, Shen Chuning went back and forth between home and the commune every day, and the study time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the rest day.
Shen Chu Ning is now used to getting up early, and he also gets up early on his days off.
The goods supplied by the commune supply and marketing cooperative are really too limited, so she plans to go to the city supply and marketing cooperative today to buy all the things she wants to buy for the teacher at once.
If the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city couldn't buy everything, she planned to go to the black market.
Chen Tao is still capable. In his black market, as long as you are willing to pay, there is nothing you can't buy.
"Comrade, you are here again? What do you want to buy this time? I will get it for you." As soon as Shen Chuning entered the supply and marketing cooperative, the familiar elder sister greeted her with a smile.
"I want to buy thirty feet of cloth, twelve pounds of cotton, half a pound of pure wool yarn, a porcelain basin, and a thermos."
The elder sister was a little surprised when she heard her report all these things, "Little comrade, didn't you just get married? Why are you buying so many things?"
Shen Chu Ning smiled and said, "Isn't this a family division? I saw that the cotton quilts my parents used were old, so I bought them."
The eldest sister gave Shen Chuning a thumbs up in appreciation, "Comrade, you are not only beautiful, but also capable and filial. No wonder you can find such an excellent gay man!"
