Bai Shuixian found a lot of Chinese herbal medicines in the mountains in the afternoon. When she returned home, she washed and dried the mature ones, cleared out the seedlings and planted them in the space, and processed all the medicinal materials that she had asked her daughter to dry earlier.
After Gong Linglong finished planting the medicinal seedlings, she immediately came to her to talk: "Mom, there are five more acres of land in the space."
"Um?"
Bai Shuixian was slightly surprised. Seeing her son-in-law sorting firewood outside, she lowered her voice and asked, "Linglong, what's going on? How did you suddenly have five more acres of land? What have you been doing recently?"
Gong Linglong guessed that Xu Qingsheng had smuggled the food and sent it to orphanages and other places. She also helped to find the enemy spy gangs that undermined the country's stability and safeguarded the safety of the country and people's property. These two things were great things that benefited the country and the people, so the space automatically recorded her merits.
After she finished speaking softly, Bai Shuixian warned her solemnly, "Linglong, what you did was right, but you must pay attention to safety. Those people are all ruthless and cruel, specially trained, and they are quite good at pretending. You must be extra careful and cautious when you act, and you must not let them target you."
"Mom, I know. I activate secret techniques every time I take action, so they can't see me." Gong Linglong whispered something in order not to worry her mother.
Bai Shuixian's eyes flickered slightly, and she understood what was going on. Seeing her son-in-law push the door open, she quickly changed the subject: "Linglong, it's getting late. Go cook the rice first. I'll come and cook the dishes after I get the herbs."
"Mom, I'll cook tonight."
Lu Jingchuan is usually busy with work and rarely cooks. Today is a rare day off. The mother and daughter have worked hard in the afternoon, so he plans to cook two dishes for them.
Bai Shuixian smiled and said, "Okay, you can do it. We still have some leftovers from lunch. Just stir-fry two vegetables."
During this period, they rehearsed the program every night. As soon as they put down their dishes, Bai Shuixian and her daughter were called away by the military wives, leaving Lu Jingchuan alone at home to wash dishes and do housework.
Every time Bai Shuixian came back, they would rehearse for a longer time, and tonight they didn't finish until 9:30.
The men in each household were still awake. When the women and children came back, the men opened the door and came out. Political Commissar Zhao was standing at the gate of his own yard, wearing his coat. When he saw them, he asked, "Why are you practicing so late?"
"Linglong's mother helped us correct a lot of details. We learned a little slowly, so we spent more time correcting and reviewing." Yu Ximei said with a smile.
Seeing how high spirits they all were, with even the children showing no sign of being tired, Political Commissar Zhao smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to the art performance in two weeks. If you have any other needs, as long as the art troupe has them, you can apply anytime."
Speaking of this, Gong Linglong immediately raised her hand: "Political Commissar, we need some costumes and props, as well as makeup. We need to put on makeup on the day of the performance."
"ah?"
The military wives all stopped in their tracks, all stunned: "I still need to put on makeup?"
"Of course we have to put on makeup. We all have to dress up beautifully and go on stage. We can't lose to the art troupe." Gong Linglong had thought of this a long time ago.
The military wives had never thought about putting on makeup. None of them had ever put on powder, nor did they know how to apply it. Yu Ximei smiled awkwardly and said, "Linglong, you and Yumiao can just put on makeup. We don't need to. Just put on some neat clothes when you get back."
"Wear light makeup, not heavy makeup."
Gong Linglong knew what they were worried about and said with a smile, "I can do makeup. On the day of the performance, I will help you with your makeup, and my mother will do your hair. If we dress up nicely and look good, it will also add points to our show."
"I need to put on makeup."
Nizi, who was about five or six years old, raised her hand first, looking a little shy: "Auntie Gong, I want to, I want to, I want to put a red dot on my forehead."
"Can."
The child made a small request, and Gong Linglong agreed without hesitation.
"I want one too."
Almost all the children raised their hands now. Not only the girls wanted to click red, but the boys did too.
"Okay, let's light them all red then." Gong Linglong agreed with a smile.
Seeing that they attached great importance to this art performance and even the children were actively participating, Political Commissar Zhao did not discourage their enthusiasm and supported them: "Okay, you can make your own arrangements. Apply for the items you need from the art troupe in advance and return them after use."
It was getting late, so everyone quickly dispersed. After Lu Jingchuan pulled his wives back home, he immediately poured water for them to take a bath.
The mother-in-law went to take a shower first. While Gong Linglong was sorting out her clothes, Lu Jingchuan asked with a smile, "Linglong, what program have you prepared? Can you give me some information in advance?"
"Can't."
Gong Linglong shook her head playfully: "The secret cannot be revealed."
"Okay, I'll look forward to the big surprise in half a month." Lu Jingchuan had a hunch that his wife would give a wonderful performance.
He had just applied for leave and was going to the city tomorrow morning. He took out a piece of paper with a stamp on it and handed it to her, saying, "Linglong, I told Political Commissar Zhao about your job application tomorrow. Last time you helped capture enemy spies and made merit, he just issued a certificate. You can submit it tomorrow for extra points."
With this certificate, the job is almost certain. Gong Linglong understood what he meant and said with a smile, "Okay."
This honor was bestowed without any backdoor connections, so she didn't have to worry about affecting Lu Jingchuan's work and future, so she accepted it without hesitation.
After Bai Shuixian finished taking a bath, Lu Jingchuan immediately went to pour her some water, and after she finished, he took her back to her room to sleep.
Having not been intimate for nearly half a month, the couple were particularly excited tonight, and they had sex several times in perfect harmony until they were both exhausted.
The next morning, it started to drizzle again. After breakfast, the three of them immediately went to catch the bus with umbrellas.
After arriving in the city, Bai Shuixian hurried back to the sanatorium to work, and the couple rushed to the civil affairs department to register.
They didn't arrive early. When they got here, there were nearly twenty people queuing up to fill out registration forms.
The registration officer saw Lu Jingchuan in his military uniform, clearly accompanying his wife, and stood up to greet him, "Comrade soldier, are you a military dependent?"
"Hello, comrade."
Lu Jingchuan stepped forward to shake his hand and took out his military ID. "This is my wife. She graduated from high school last year, and I came here with her to register."
"Okay, there are preferential policies for military families. Please come over here and fill out the registration form. Then give me your personal ID for registration and review."
Gong Linglong immediately followed with her bag and politely thanked him, "Thank you."
When the other people queuing nearby saw that a military dependent had arrived and was likely to get a spot, their faces became more serious.
Gong Linglong showed the other party her personal information and the certificate signed by the political commissar in advance, sat down on the bench in front of the table, took out a pen and quickly filled out the registration form.
After she finished filling out the form, the person in charge quickly reviewed it, put her information away, and pointed to the lounge on the side: "Comrades, please go sit inside and rest for a while. Comrade Gong Linglong's information needs to be confirmed and reviewed by phone. I will submit it now. If there are no problems, the leader will arrange the exam in advance later."
"OK, thanks."
Gong Linglong understood the hidden meaning and immediately got up and went to the lounge.
