Chapter 44: I feel really bad

After dinner, Lin Wanshu handed the baby to Qin Yan to take care of as usual, and then she carried a hoe and went to the fields with Ji Hualan.

Yu Fangfang still didn’t have to go to work today, so she followed suit and carried a hoe.

“I have asked Director Ma to give me some land. I will go dig the land later and plant tomatoes early tomorrow morning!”

In order to give birth to a beautiful daughter, she tried her best!

Yu Fangfang said with great ambition.

But Ji Hualan immediately poured a basin of cold water on her.

“You have to wash clothes tomorrow and go to work. Do you have time to plant?”

Yu Fangfang:…

“Then can’t I plant it after I get off work?” As she said that, she turned her head and looked at Lin Wanshu, “Wanwan, you can teach me how to plant tomatoes, right? Whether I can give birth to a beautiful daughter depends on you!”

Yu Fangfang was originally pretty and lovely. When she was not making trouble, she looked really likable. At this moment, facing her pitiful eyes, how could Lin Wanshu refuse?

“Okay, then I’ll wait for you to get off work in the afternoon and then we can go and plant vegetables together.”

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether we go in the morning or in the afternoon. Planting vegetables is as simple as it can be.

Hearing that she agreed, Yu Fangfang’s tail was almost up.

She looked at Ji Hualan with a smug look on her face: See, the person Wanwan cares about the most is me!

Ji Hualan: …

Morality!

Why didn’t she find this person so shameless before?

But she seems to be much more pleasing to the eye than before.

Once she put aside her prejudice, Ji Hualan soon found that Yu Fangfang was just a little bad-mouthed, but she was actually a pretty good person.

And once she identified someone, she would directly draw him to her territory, like a protective mother.

The three of them talked and laughed all the way to the fields dedicated to the family compound.

Ma Qiuping came to the fields early. At this time, the sun was already high in the east. The sun shone on her body, and after a while, she felt a little hot.

She was wearing a straw hat and holding a hoe in her hand, burying boundary stones in the field.

“Director Ma!”

Seeing her, Ji Hualan greeted her from a distance.

Ma Qiuping is the wife of Political Commissar Xu Kangnian. She is not only the women’s director of the family compound is also responsible for all matters of the family compound.

She is like an older sister, not only without airs, but also very friendly.

The military wives in the regiment like to find her for everything.

Lin Wanshu didn’t have time to visit her yesterday, but she did come to her house to show concern for them.

Therefore, she has a very good impression of this director.

“Director Ma.”

She also greeted him.

Yu Fangfang jumped directly in front of her.

“Director Ma, where is my land? I can’t wait to open up wasteland and grow vegetables now!”

Ma Qiuping looked at her like a monkey, and felt funny and helpless.

“You have yours, why are you in a hurry?”

After saying that, she nodded to the other two people, and then said with a smile: “Qin Yan’s wife, I have buried the boundary stone on your land, come and have a look.”

This place is not like collective labor like a production team. After all, some military wives have to go to work, and some military wives are unwilling to go to the fields even if their families are well-off.

Farming is based on the principle of voluntariness.

Whoever wants it can apply, and after the application is approved, they can plant it themselves.

After all, this is a border defense area, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and there is no exercise in the army.

They naturally arranged it in a convenient way.

Ma Qiuping just buried the boundary stone in Lin Wanshu’s land.

She took her around and asked her to recognize her vegetable plot and paddy field.

Yu Fangfang did not want the paddy field, but she was unhappy when she saw that her vegetable plot was not next to Lin Wanshu’s.

“Director Ma, you know me, I have never even planted the land. You divide me so far away, how can I ask Wanwan for advice on planting?”

In the end, she insisted on asking her to change a piece for her, even if it was a little smaller.

In the end, Ma Qiuping had no choice but to give her a triangular piece of land next to Lin Wanshu.

The shape of this piece of land was strange, and other military wives refused to take it.

But Yu Fangfang was very satisfied with it.

“Triangle is good, triangle is the most stable structure.”

The satisfied little look made Lin Wanshu laugh and cry.

“How about I give you a little bit here, so that your land can become a parallelogram?”

Hearing this, Yu Fangfang waved her hand and refused.

“Goodbye, I can’t even take care of this little piece of land. You know what I’m capable of.”

Hearing her say this, Lin Wanshu thought of her great achievements in the family compound and stopped trying to persuade her.

After the land was divided, Ma Qiuping left.

The vegetable fields here had actually been reclaimed before, but no one planted them, and the fields were full of grass.

Lin Wanshu did nothing all morning, just weeding.

Fortunately, she was used to doing farm work in this life, and she could do the work quickly and well just by muscle memory.

Yu Fangfang was panting after digging for a while.

“No, no, I have to take a break.”

Farm work is really hard.

At this moment, she realized how amazing those educated youth who supported rural construction were!

Lin Wanshu didn’t feel tired with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, but the sun was too strong after all, and it was uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun.

After digging half of it, she also sat under the tree to rest.

The two chatted while drinking water, and soon Ji Hualan also came.

“This horrible weather, there’s not a single breeze, it’s so hot.”

Ji Hualan complained while fanning herself with her straw hat.

Lin Wanshu picked up her kettle and handed it over.

“Drink some water first and take a break.”

Ji Hualan took it, unscrewed the lid, and gulped down several mouthfuls before she felt much better.

It was early July, the height of summer, and the sky was clear without a single cloud.

The three of them chatted casually, and soon they saw Huang Fengying coming to the field with a big belly.

She was carrying two buckets on her shoulders, followed by three little girls in tattered clothes.

The youngest one didn’t look much older than Miaomiao, but her hair was as yellow as dead grass, and her thin arms and legs looked like she didn’t have much flesh.

A pair of big eyes embedded in that skinny little face looked a little scary!

The child probably didn’t have enough to eat, and she fell every two steps.

But she didn’t dare to cry at such a young age. She got up immediately after falling down and stumbled behind her mother and sister.

Looking at those poor little girls, Ji Hualan couldn’t help but sigh.

It’s unlucky to have such a mother.

Although Lin Wanshu didn’t like Huang Fengying, she felt bad when she saw the child who was about the same age as Miaomiao but was so thin that she looked like a nobody.

She couldn’t help but ask.

“Director Ma doesn’t care?”

The Women’s Federation is a unit that protects the rights of women and children, but you can tell from one look that this child has never had a good day.

“Of course you care, but they treat you well in front of you, and they still do what they should do behind your back.”

Ji Hualan was speechless about this family.
