Before Mai Sui returned to Lianhua Village, he went to the camp to visit Mai Hongcai.

The Southeast Military Region will not have any holidays this year. Mai Hongcai does not have the same privilege as Mai Sui, so he certainly cannot go home for the New Year.

The brother and sister haven't seen each other for half a year. Mai Hongcai looks much taller and stronger, and he looks like a sunny and handsome boy.

As soon as he saw Mai Sui, he smiled like a fool: "Sister, you are back from further studies!"

"Yes, I just got back yesterday. I heard from your instructor that you performed well in the army and did not embarrass me. Not bad!"

"Of course! I will also be a person who can make first-class achievements in the future!"

Mai Hongcai puffed out his chest proudly, looking cocky.

Speaking of the first-class merit, Mai Sui suddenly thought of something and took out two medals from his pocket and handed them to Mai Hongcai:

"Here, here you go. Don't you like collecting this kind of stuff?"

All the medals that Mai Sui had won before were kept by Mai Hongcai, and he kept them with him even after he joined the army.

These two medals for "Individual Special Merit" are naturally no exception.

Mai Sui has never cared much about such things; she cares more about practical benefits.

For example, after she was promoted to division commander, the army not only provided her with a car, but also assigned three guards to protect her safety.

However, with Mai Sui's skills, she doesn't need anyone's protection at all. It's more about taking care of her life than protecting her safety.

For example, cleaning, buying rice and vegetables and so on.

There is no need to cook or wash clothes because Shen Xingchen doesn't allow him to do so, so he is the only one who can wash Mai Sui's clothes.

Sometimes, when Lin Yanxi and Tang Jiangwan wanted to help Mai Sui wash clothes, Shen Xingchen was not happy about it, let alone other men.

Shen Xingchen also wanted to report to the army, why must there be male guards? Are there no female guards?

force:.......

Mai Hongcai looked at the "Special Merit" medal again and again and couldn't let it go.

Then she put it on her chest and asked Mai Sui: "Sister, does it look good?"

Wheat Ear: “General.”

Mai Hongcai's smile froze, and Shen Xingchen quickly praised him, "It looks good, and it suits you very well!"

"I know it looks best on me!"

Mai Hongcai was satisfied, and turned to show off to his comrades: "Look, my sister has won two more special merits!"

Mai Sui is a legendary figure in the Southeast Military Region. When everyone heard that she was coming to see Mai Hongcai, almost all of them followed her, wanting to catch a glimpse of the big shot.

They had been too embarrassed to interrupt just now, but now that Mai Hongcai took the initiative to talk, they finally found the opportunity.

So, they swarmed over and talked to Mai Sui at once, leaving Mai Hongcai aside.

"Sister, you are so awesome!"

"Sister, we have all heard about your story. I want to bring glory to our country like you in the future!"

"Sister, you are so amazing, do you have any tricks?"

"elder sister......"

Everyone is Mai Hongcai's comrade-in-arms, so they automatically put themselves in the shoes of "brother" and called her "sister" very smoothly.

Shen Xingchen felt a headache when he heard this. It would be strange for Shen Xingchen to be happy when a large group of young men surrounded his wife.

So he secretly stood in front of the wheat ears to prevent everyone from getting too excited and having unnecessary physical contact.

Mai Hongcai didn't like it either. His reaction was much more direct than Shen Xingchen's. He pushed the man away and said dissatisfiedly:

"What are you calling me? This is my sister, not yours. You should call her Captain Mai... Oh, that's not right!"

Mai Hongcai finally noticed Mai Sui’s shoulder straps. They were not the two bars and one star of a battalion commander, but two bars and four stars!

"Sister, you got promoted again? Didn't you say you would be promoted to battalion commander after further training? Why now..."

Mai Sui didn't say anything. Shen Xingchen smiled and said, "You are now a division commander. Otherwise, how do you think you got this special merit?"

Everyone was shocked. A 19-year-old teacher was simply unheard of!

As a result, everyone became more enthusiastic and completely ignored Mai Hongcai's warnings and continued to call her sister.

It seems that if you call Mai Sui "sister", she will really become everyone's sister.

In the end, everyone even pushed Mai Hongcai out of the crowd.

Mai Hongcai could only jump up and down outside: "Hey, don't be so arrogant! She's my sister, not yours!"

..........

After visiting Mai Hongcai, Mai Sui drove back to Lianhua Village with Shen Xingchen.

Shen Xingchen had called Mai Laosan in advance, and he was already waiting at home.

In addition to Mai Laosan, there is also Mai Xiangbei in the family.

After his divorce, he has been living with Mai Laosan.

They were both single, and Mai Sui and Mai Hongcai seldom went home often, so the house was empty anyway, so they just lived together.

In order to welcome Mai Sui and Shen Xingchen home, neither of them went to work at the factory today and prepared a large table of delicious wine and food.

He also called Mai Xiangdong and Mai Xiangnan to come and join in the fun.

It feels like celebrating Chinese New Year in advance.

Especially the meals prepared by Mai Laosan, which are even more luxurious than those prepared by the landlords in the past.

Tian Guifen came over to help in advance, saw it, and kindly reminded:

"Third brother, everyone in the area knows about your Lotus Factory now. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. You have to keep a low profile and be careful of people getting jealous and hurting you.

Your eldest brother now goes to the commune to attend meetings, and others tease him whether he has made a lot of money with you, but he always says no.

I even deliberately wore tattered clothes when I went out, just because I was afraid that others would talk about me behind my back. After all, people’s words are scary!"

Tian Guifen's worry is not without reason.

Because Mai Laosan was working in the black market, his sales volume was more than ten times that of the supply and marketing cooperative.

With such a large amount, it is still difficult to achieve complete non-existent appearance.

If someone wants to investigate, they will definitely find something.

If we are reported, closing the factory is not a big deal, but we are worried that something might happen to people.

The factory distributed dividends last month. Mai Xiangdong originally invested 2,000 yuan and held 1% of the shares. As a result, he got back 5,000 yuan in the first dividend.

In less than a year, not only did I make back my investment, I also made so much money.

Tian Guifen was surprised and happy when she received the money.

She didn't expect the factory to make so much money. No wonder so many people were jealous.

If all the money was earned through formal channels, Tian Guifen might not be so worried.

But the problem is that most of these profits come from the black market, and she can't help but feel anxious when she holds this money.

As a result, she dared not wear new clothes or eat meat, and she cried miserably and poor to everyone she met, for fear that others would know that her family was rich.

As a result, while she was crying poor, Mai Lao San was showing off his wealth.

Not only does he eat a lot of meat and fish every day, but he is also not shy about it at all, as if he is afraid that others will know.

You tell me, how could Tian Guifen not be anxious?
