Chapter 292: What do you think about not going back for a few years?
"Hello, are you the comrade Sha Guoqiang that Captain Qin mentioned?"
After going out, Fang Qiuyan asked him politely.
Sha Guoqiang almost stared in amazement at the gentle voice and friendly smile.
When he came to his senses, he smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, sister-in-law, I am Sha Guoqiang, you can just call me Xiaosha."
Fang Qiuyan nodded and said politely, "Then I'll trouble you."
She was good-looking to begin with, and now she was well-educated. She spoke in such a polite manner that she was no different from the people in the city.
Sha Guoqiang was full of doubts for a moment.
What was Coach Lu thinking by leaving such a beautiful wife behind for several years?
If it were him, he would wish to see people every day.
But he didn't say any more and prepared to go to the assembly point with his men.
But before he left the family compound, he ran into Lin Wanshu.
"Wan Shu, where are you going?"
Seeing her, Fang Qiuyan subconsciously stepped forward to support her.
Lin Wanshu clapped her hands with amusement.
"How can I be so delicate? Don't be nervous!"
After that, he continued, "We will plant the herbs right after we dig them up. I'll go see how they look like."
Although they are all farmers who deal with the land, there are still some requirements for the planting of some medicines.
Hearing this, Fang Qiuyan looked at her with some disapproval.
"If there's anything you need to pay attention to, just tell me. Why is it worth the trip?"
Sha Guoqiang originally thought that Fang Qiuyan was pretty enough, but he didn't expect that there would be an even prettier sister-in-law. He almost couldn't move his eyes.
What kind of feng shui do they have here?
Why are all my sisters-in-law prettier than the other?
But he didn't dare to look at it any more, so he turned away with a blushing face and echoed, "Yes, sister-in-law, if there is anything, just tell me."
Lin Wanshu smiled helplessly and said, "I have already told the captain and the others in advance, but I was afraid that they might not understand, so I made a special trip. Don't worry, I know my situation well."
After hearing what she said, the two of them stopped trying to persuade her.
But when I set out, I consciously slowed down my pace.
When we arrived at the assembly point, the captains had already been waiting for a while.
When Wu Jiang saw Lin Wanshu, his eyes lit up and he ran over quickly.
"Comrade Lin, you are here too?"
He thought she wouldn't come this time.
Lin Wanshu smiled and said, "I'll go take a look while you guys are growing the herbs later."
The other captains also gathered around, and when they heard this, they were all filled with gratitude.
"Comrade Lin, thank you so much. With your guidance, we feel more at ease."
After all, this is the first time I’ve planted this thing. If something goes wrong or it doesn’t meet the requirements, wouldn’t all my work be in vain?
Because Lin Wanshu came here temporarily, Wu Jiang sent an aunt to take her back to the slope of the brigade first.
The others followed Fang Qiuyan and Sha Guoqiang to collect herbs.
The aunt recognized Lin Wanshu at a glance. Knowing that she had come to the rescue with the army, she was not shy and took her arm, asking about her well-being in a friendly manner, as if she were an elder in the family.
Lin Wanshu felt her enthusiasm and felt warm in her heart.
Soon, the two arrived at the slope that had been reclaimed by the Shangshan Brigade.
The slope has been neatly dug into rows of trenches.
The members are now spreading manure into the ditch.
Perhaps because they knew that this land was to be cultivated to make money, the members worked very hard.
Lin Wanshu took a look and estimated that all the men, women and children in the village had come out.
There were even some whose bellies were bigger than hers, carrying manure and walking quickly along the ridges of the fields.
Lin Wanshu couldn't help but worry for her when she saw it.
"She's about to give birth, right? Why is she carrying something so heavy?"
Unable to hold back, Lin Wanshu turned her head and asked the aunt.
Hearing this, the aunt sighed heavily.
"She has to be picky. Her husband was buried in the last mudslide. Now there is no strong labor force at home. If she doesn't work, what will happen to the two children at home?"
The baby in my belly is a posthumous child.
Although the family was not well off, at least there was still some hope in life.
Now that her man is gone, she has no one to rely on. How can she go on with her life if she doesn't work harder?
Hearing this, Lin Wanshu felt a little heavy.
The casualties from the last mudslide were not actually that great, but even so, behind every number, it was a devastating disaster for every family.
In the face of such pain, any comfort is pale and powerless.
Although no one died in the aunt's family, those who died were all people she knew. Whenever she thought about it, she felt very sad.
Without saying anything more, she patted Lin Wanshu's hand and said, "Sister, go sit under the tree for a while. When we get the herbs back, you can teach us how to plant them."
She also has to go up the mountain to dig herbs to earn work points.
Hearing this, Lin Wanshu nodded.
"Okay, I can go there by myself, Auntie, you go and do your work."
Everyone was working against the clock, and Lin Wanshu didn't intend to delay them, so she waved at her.
The aunt did not leave immediately, but found a little girl about six or seven years old to accompany Lin Wanshu.
"Sister, if you have anything to do, just ask her to do it. Auntie has gone up the mountain first."
Lin Wanshu smiled at her gratefully.
"Okay, thank you, aunt."
After the aunt made all the arrangements, she went straight back to Dongtou Mountain without stopping.
The little girl she found was not tall and thin, but her eyes were bright and she looked at her with curiosity.
Lin Wanshu rarely saw such a bold country girl, and she was also somewhat curious about her.
"Sister, what's your name?"
The little girl was indeed not afraid of strangers. Upon hearing this, she responded crisply, "My name is Xiao Gu."
Afraid that she didn't know which Gu it was, I explained, "It's the Gu in rice. My mother said that if I was named this, I would be able to eat white rice every day when I grow up."
Xiao Gu was obviously very satisfied with his name, and his little face was full of pride.
From his graceful and generous appearance, you can tell at a glance that he must be doted on by his parents at home.
Lin Wanshu also followed her words and said, "Yes, when you grow up, we can eat white rice every meal."
Hybrid rice was successfully developed last year and is expected to be popularized soon.
In the future, the lives of Chinese people will get better and better.
Hearing this, Xiao Gu's face was full of longing.
"I really want to grow up quickly! When I grow up, I will earn a lot of work points for my mother so that she doesn't have to work so hard."
Lin Wanshu liked children in the first place, and seeing how sensible she was, she couldn't help but feel a bit of affection for her.
After thinking for a while, she took out a few candies from her pocket and handed them over.
"Xiao Gu, thank you for chatting with me. I'll treat you to some candy."
When Xiao Gu saw the candy in her hand, he blurted out, "It's milk candy?!"
Lin Wanshu smiled and said, "It's milk candy, fragrant and sweet, take it quickly."
But when Xiao Gu saw Naitang, his expression suddenly became strange.
"I...I don't eat candy."
