Chapter 5 Left and right neighbor control group 5
On Sunday, Zhang Qingmei was resting and Ping'an didn't come, so she took care of everything herself. Zhang Xiaojia carried a basket with an iron stick in it. It was prepared by He Fei. There was a snake written on the map. She went to the back mountain to collect some Chinese medicine, took the iron stick with her, and went out to test her prescription.
The woman under the big tree in front of her door saw Zhang Xiaojia carrying a basket and asked curiously, "Wife He Fei, are you planning to go pick wild vegetables?"
Zhang Xiaojia glanced at them, didn't want to explain, and nodded casually.
He Fei saw Zhang Xiaojia walking away from Xiao Ai's surveillance camera. He turned around and walked back until she completely disappeared from his sight. As soon as he returned to his residence, he gathered some people without hesitation and began a comprehensive renovation project on the toilet.
The originally empty toilet space was filled with various materials and tools. The first thing to be installed was the toilet, which was made of cement and bricks, and He Fei prepared it in advance.
He Fei directed everyone to first build a suitable base with solid cement bricks, and then carefully place the carefully crafted toilet on it, and carefully adjust the position to ensure it is stable and easy to use.
The next step is to lay the pipes. Although there are no ready-made pipes in advance, He Fei has already thought of a solution - to make them himself using cement.
So, the people in the logistics department skillfully stirred the cement slurry and gradually formed smooth pipes along the designed routes.
Meanwhile, the well was busy too. A brand new water pump was securely installed above the wellhead, allowing water to flow easily with a gentle push.
In order to make the entire layout more beautiful and practical, He Fei also had someone build a solid cement table next to the well, which can be used to place buckets and other items.
The courtyard was also bustling with activity. Half of the ground had been evenly paved with a thick layer of cement, making it smoother to walk on. A straight path had also been paved with cement, extending from the door to the inside of the house.
On the other half of the yard, He Fei had plowed the land and was about to sow vegetable seeds.
An An quickly said, "Auntie, they said they wanted to plant persimmon and cherry trees here. They've already been decided and will be here in two days."
Pingping also said, "Auntie said that the fruits are ripe and she wants us to eat them. She also said that she should build a grape rack here and plant grapes. Uncle, hurry up and build the rack."
He Fei looked at the two little brats who took naps with his wife every day and asked, "What else did your aunt say?"
Pingping said loudly, "Auntie also said that she would take us to the city to see animals next week."
An An continued, "Let's make a longer desk so we can study better, and then go to the city to buy an electric fan. It's so hot."
Zhang Qingmei looked at her two sons who were so smart as to order He Fei and her husband to do this and that, so she decided to go home first!
When Zhou Moli, her husband and son came back from outside, they heard bursts of noise coming from next door from afar.
Out of curiosity, the three of them saw that the originally ordinary yard had become so beautiful after careful care!
The entire courtyard is neat and tidy, giving people a clean and refreshing feeling; the newly paved cement road is flat and smooth, extending all the way to the doorstep. From now on, there is no need to worry about muddy ground dirtying the house.
Not only that, but even the eaves were covered with a thick layer of cement. This way, even on rainy days, dripping rainwater would no longer splash up annoying mud. Zhou Moli admired all of this with great joy, praising her neighbor's renovation.
Later, she and several other aunties went to visit the neighbor's newly built toilet. When they walked into the toilet, their eyes were immediately attracted by a strange object, which turned out to be a toilet!
toilet? ? ?
Zhou Moli suddenly had all sorts of guesses flooding her mind...
When she got home, Zhou Moli asked, "Shall we lay cement too?"
Li Jiang frowned and said, "That's not necessary. Besides, if He Fei does this, he might get criticized tomorrow. He Fei's wife is also a worry. The weeds in the yard are half burned and He Fei has to come back to shovel them away. It's not something a housewife can do well."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Zhou Moli's eyes.
Zhang Xiaojia didn't know that her entire house had been visited by others. She and He Fei couldn't talk to each other for three years and could only spend an hour together every day at most. He Fei exaggerated everything about it.
What a lot of hardship to beg for marriage!
What do you mean he is a live-in son-in-law!
What? Please take good care of Jiajia, sisters-in-law!
What do you mean Jia Jia is shy? She just doesn’t like to talk!
He told it all.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the herbs on the mountain happily. These herbs were enough for her experiments.
She was concentrating on digging herbs. In a shady corner of a tree, she saw mushrooms, but they were poisonous mushrooms. This kind of mushroom was not very toxic and was suitable for making drugs. Just as she was about to pick them, she thought of her two little kids at home and gave up. Don't expect two six-year-old boys not to be curious, especially when one of them is a little foodie.
I picked fruits along the way, but didn’t see any wild fruits, so I went down the mountain.
After returning home, I looked at the yard and then went to see the toilet.
He Fei is not at home
At this time, one of the aunties under the big tree came over to Zhang Xiaojia and said, "Jia Jia, He Fei said he took the people from the logistics department to eat, and he will bring you food later."
Zhang Xiaojia said calmly, "Thank you. This is for you."
The aunt opened it and saw that it was honeysuckle, and looked at Zhang Xiaojia in confusion.
Zhang Xiaojia said directly, "Dry it and soak it in water. Your throat is red and inflamed. Drink it for three days."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaojia went back into the house.
The aunt smiled and shook her head, then went back to the tree to show it to everyone, so as to avoid rumors that she had taken the good things from He Fei's wife!
When I got home, I took out a winnowing basket and dried the honeysuckle flowers.
When Tan An came back, he saw the tigress drying something at home. He walked over to take a look and asked, "What is this?"
"He Fei's wife gave it to me. She said my throat was red, so she gave me a bag of honeysuckle and told me to dry it and soak it in water to drink. She said it would be fine in three days." Huang Hulu
Tan An was the Chief of the General Staff and knew about Zhang Xiaojia's affairs. He said, "She wouldn't lie."
Huang Hulu pulled the old man to gossip, saying, "The Zhang family has an ancestral precept that says during the mourning period, a couple can only spend one hour together each day, and they can't talk. Today, He Fei paved half of the yard with cement, from the gate to the door, and half of the yard with cement. Jia Jia is not good at growing vegetables, so she plans to plant fruit trees, and Mei Mei will help plant half of the land."
"He Fei is really messing around! Last week, the commander made it clear that every household should grow vegetables. But he actually dared to go against the command and do it openly. How will others view him? Even if cement needs to be laid, it's better for Zhang Xiaojia to do it." Tan An frowned tightly and said seriously.
Huang Hulu was immediately displeased when he heard this and immediately retorted, "Oh, don't say that! How much vegetables can Jiajia eat by herself? I think half the yard is enough. Look at our family. You and I always planted the whole yard with vegetables, and we couldn't eat them all. Besides, Jiajia just lost her father. She has been dependent on him since she was a child and has never done any farm work. Now let her plant half of the vegetable garden, what's wrong with that?"
In fact, it is not only the Huanghu family who speaks for He Fei. As He Fei himself said, there are only him and Jia Jia in their family. Even if they grow more vegetables, they can't eat them all. It is good to dry the excess into dried vegetables, but many dried vegetables need to be cooked with meat to be delicious. Simply cooking dried vegetables without oil and meat is not as good as cooking cabbage and radish!
Whenever it rains, rainwater drips from the eaves and splashes mud everywhere, making the whole room dirty.
After returning home, many aunts blamed their husbands on He Fei's behalf. It was so rare to find a man in the Third Army who cared about his wife so much and loved his wife very much.
The next day, at a meeting at the Third Corps level and above, someone criticized He Fei for paving the yard with cement.
Song Kun was the first to say, "I also want to lay cement under the eaves, otherwise when it rains, raindrops will splash everywhere and make the whole room dirty. Besides, my wife has to go to work and mop the floor every day. She must be tired too."
Li Jiang said bluntly, "Which woman at home doesn't work like this? How can this be tiring? Is it more tiring than training? We work so hard and come home, shouldn't we have hot meals?"
He Fei said lazily, "That's your wife, not mine. My wife doesn't need to do these things. Anyway, my wife can only cook. I promised the matchmaker that my wife doesn't need to work. A man's words are his bond. He must keep his word. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be beaten."
When the commander of the Third Army heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. Yesterday, after his wife had seen He Fei's yard, she came home and scolded him, saying that he was a stubborn old man.
The military and political commissar said, "As long as there is no waste, you can lay cement under the eaves to make the house cleaner."
…
Zhang Xiaojia did things step by step no matter what others said.
The post office came to deliver a package to her. Zhang Xiaojia came to the guard room and saw the security personnel waiting for her to come and check together.
Looking at the mountains of packages, Zhang Xiaojia didn't know what to say. About ten meters behind her, there was a group of sisters-in-law and aunts watching.
She was not worried about violating regulations. With the mayors of Yizhou and Zhejiang, as well as the Zhang Family Pharmaceutical Factory [it should not be called the Zhang Family Pharmaceutical Factory now], it should become the number one pharmaceutical factory in Zhejiang.
When the security captain saw the address of Yizhou, he took a deep breath. This address was the Yizhou City Lord's Mansion.
He put the eight packages directly onto the cart without opening them.
Looking at the ten packages that the team members had divided according to the addresses, this one is the Zhejiang City Lord's Mansion.
It was also not opened, so I put it in the cart... and it couldn't fit.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the cart and said, "I'll push it back and come back later."
The security captain said, "Comrade Zhang, we'll push you back on a cart later."
"Thank you, thank you for your trouble."
Six packages from the Lord of Yongzhou
There were also 12 packages brought to her in wooden boxes from Zhejiang No. 1 Pharmaceutical Factory.
"These twelve wooden boxes are Chinese medicine instruments. They're prone to bumps and bruises when examined now. How about we have them examined in my yard?"
The security captain thought about it and agreed immediately.
