Hey guys! I’m back. I’m very sorry for not updating for a while. I was very busy with schoolwork so, have to settle my priorities first. But I’ll make up for everything I promise. ^_^

 

 

When Su Qinghe heard mother Gu talking about the seeds, she remembered the 10,000 gold coins she was planning to use to buy seeds. At that time, she could only buy about 500 catties of rice seeds and was planning to use them for the Yellow River production team when they raised seedlings in a few days. In this way, there will be no food shortage in the second half of the year. After all, there is still one more year of famine, and it seems that there is not enough food in the second half of the year. If there is no food in the second half of the year, they have to eat bark and eat loess like before…

 

Now, according to mother Gu, there is still a problem with food in the county. The team is now sowing in spring. A few days ago, her brothers and sisters-in-law had already loosened the soil and planted some corn seeds. Now they are preparing to grow rice seedlings again. If something goes wrong, the team will have no chance to plant seeds. Everyone has to worry about death. If the county didn’t give seeds, how could she get them out?

However, Su Qinghe felt that this matter was quite difficult, and she was not that capable of helping the entire county. Just a few coins and a few seeds. And the bigger the movement, the more in danger she is. The difficulty factor is too high.

After eating, Su Qinghe went to wash up and was ready to go back to the room to rest. As a result, Deputy County Magistrate Gu came back with an angry expression on his face.

Mother Gu said unhappily, “Why are you making that face? Qing’er is here, so you should pay attention.”

Deputy county magistrate Gu took a breath, his face softened a little, but it was obvious that he was still in a bad mood.

Su Qinghe hurried to pour water for him. She felt that if her father-in-law was too angry at this age, it would be bad if something went wrong.

Mother Gu took the water and gave it to Deputy County Magistrate Gu, “Look at how filial your daughter-in-law is, nothing is as good as the family. If you have anything, just say it, don’t be angry.”

Deputy County Magistrate Gu drank the water and drank it all, and his breathing eased a little.

Gu Changzheng and Gu Changping also came out of the house when they heard the movement.

It is not surprising to see this situation. Their dad has been like this for the past few days, and it’s like this when they go out at night and come back. Apparently, just like the previous few days, he had a bad fight with County Magistrate Sun.

Gu Changzheng said, “Dad, you are not in charge of this matter, so don’t argue with County Magistrate Sun. After all, he is in charge of the entire county, and you are in charge of the armed forces department. Normally, you are in charge of public security issues in the county. It is better to manage public security issues in the county.” It was only last year that a group of people was organized, and he was worried that his father would offend too many people, and he would be cheated by others.
Bang——

Deputy County Magistrate Gu put the teacup heavily on the table, “B*llsh*t! I eat this public food, so I have to worry about it. I’m only in charge of the armed forces in the county, but I’m also a member of the officials. The rice grains we eat at home are all saved for us by the common people. If you don’t think about the people, can you eat?!”

Well said! Su Qinghe almost applauded her father-in-law. Awesome!

But she can’t applaud. If she applauds, it will add fuel to the fire and make the elder brother lose face.

However, Gu Changzheng was still flustered by the questioning made by Deputy County Magistrate Gu.

As an officer of public security, he also eats public meals and works for the common people. But he usually takes care of his own business, and he never cares so much at all.

“Dad, I know I was wrong. But we can’t control this matter. Secretary Sun and County Magistrate Lin1Now I’m hella confused. Or the author gets confused for a sec, I thought the County Magistrate is surnamed Sun. have a good relationship. As a deputy county magistrate, can you intervene?”

“…” Deputy County Magistrate Gu said nothing with a sullen face.

These two are on guard against him, because he is from outside the country, and he is of military origin, in charge of the armed forces department. Usually, if the militiamen in the county go too far, he has to take care of them. For example, the previous grain requisition team went to the people’s homes to collect grain, which made the chickens fly and the dogs jump2Mess up.. He took people to treat them. Later, the food that was collected is not much, so it made Mayor Lin and Secretary Sun very unhappy.

“Dad, can’t the county go to the grain station to collect seeds? Go to the big agricultural city to collect seeds. We panicked last year, but there are still many other places that are not in desolation, there must be seeds there.” Su Qinghe helped come up with the idea.

Deputy county magistrate Gu saw that a child was also worried, and he felt somewhat relieved. At least his family still had the same thoughts as him. He sighed, “The county doesn’t take money, so where can we buy food? If we have no money, other cities will not let us borrow some as well. We’ve had a severe famine in the past two years, and people are worried that we will not be able to pay it off. Although they are all public goods, they are all subject to a fixed amount.”

Su Qinghe: “…” I really don’t understand the twists and turns here without mixing the system. I thought we could borrow things from each other.

The others didn’t speak. No one can help with such a big matter. After all, it is a matter for the entire county. Moreover, they are now living under the protection of their father, and they don’t have the ability to do such a big thing.

Deputy county magistrate Gu didn’t want to disturb everyone’s rest, so he stood up and went to his room after complaining, “Everyone, go back to your rooms to rest, you have to go to work tomorrow, take a good rest.”

Mother Gu also said to Su Qinghe, “Qing’er go back to your room and sleep. Don’t worry about these things, children. Your father has my care.” Then she followed into the room, “Old Gu, let me massage you, and get a good night’s sleep.” The voice was so gentle that Su Qinghe shivered. No wonder her father-in-law loves her mother-in-law so much…

Back in her room, Su Qinghe also lay on the bed with the lights off and chatted with the system. This was already her way of entertainment during the long night.

“System, it would be great if you were a universal system. My father’s problem can be perfectly solved. A good official, who sincerely works for the people. It’s sad to see him like that. He’s all for the common people.”

“Host, this system is omnipotent, but the host is too lazy. There is not enough capital to exchange with this system.”

“….One person’s power is limited!” Su Qinghe argued, “I think it’s great that I can help the team. But the whole county, what a heavy burden. I’m not a hero who saves the world either. People can do as much as they can. I have self-awareness.”

“But host, you have not tried yet, how do you know you only have such ability? The stage is as big as your heart is. This system can satisfy the hearts of hosts as broad as the sea.”

“…” Su Qinghe felt that the key point was that her heart was as big as the tip of a needle. But thinking of a cadre like Chang’an’s father, Su Qinghe felt very uncomfortable. Compared with these people, her heart is too small…

She sighed, “The problem is that I have only so much ability now. I can’t eat a mouthful in one bite.”

“Host, after every skill point has been successfully upgraded, there will be special rewards. The host can choose to upgrade a skill to C level, and you can get rich rewards. It is detected that the host currently has a good heart, and after the host completes the upgrade task, the host can also get additional rewards. ”

Hearing what the system said, Su Qinghe thought about it in surprise, and then asked curiously, “System, why are you so generous all of a sudden?” ”

“As a military wife, good morals are more important than any skills. The system can improve the skills of the host, but not the character. So this task is a hidden task.”

Su Qinghe didn’t expect the system to keep a secret, and immediately said cheekily, “Then I am usually kind and beautiful, why don’t you reward me at all?” There should be a lot of benefits.

“Host, kind people don’t take the initiative to ask for things. Please stop this unhealthy thinking immediately, or you will lose the special reward.”

Su Qinghe: “…” It’s still that stingy and shameless system!

Just as she was about to exit the system, she heard the system’s prompt, “Ding… the military partner has exceeded the task, and will be rewarded with two-star coins.”

Su Qinghe froze for a moment and curled the corner of her mouth. Their Chang’an is really hardworking. He really trains every day! She also has to work hard. She can’t fall too far behind.

Su Qinghe felt that she could improve the skill of ‘food’. Anyway, she already has three skill points, and there are still seven left, that is, seven dishes… Now in state-run restaurants, there are many opportunities to get ingredients. And by the way, make some delicious food for Chang’an and send it over.

I don’t know if he had finished eating the jerky.

In the frontier regiment’s vanguard company training ground, Gu Chang’an had just finished training and was sitting on a sandbag to rest then took out a piece of dried meat from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.

The delicious taste made him seem to regain his strength all of a sudden.

Looking up at the dark blue sky and the high moon, he began to think about Qing’er again.

The allowance was paid the day before yesterday, and he doesn’t know when Qing’er will receive it.

She must still be reluctant to spend, and she will come to buy him food later. He had to write a letter to Qing’er to make her happy. Anyway, after a few months and a year, he will be able to increase his allowance. There will be more and more money in the future.

He and Qing’er have enough to spend.

When he earns enough money for him and Qing’er to spend, he will leave the army and go back to live a good life with her.

With this thought in mind, Gu Changan smiled. I must work hard and perform tasks. If I want to be promoted, I will get more and more allowances in the future.

Just when he was about to go back, there seemed to be someone squatting outside the barracks.

Gu Chang’an took a closer look and saw that it was Old Gazi. He was looking at the sky gloomily.

“Why are you still awake?”

“I just came out of the house.” Old Gazi looked at the sky. “Chang’an, the company commander came to talk to me today, and I might have to leave.”

Gu Chang’an said in surprise, “Where are you going? Didn’t you do a good job?”

“The old wounds I had when I fought the Americans before have not healed yet. In addition, I’m about to be discharged from the army, so the company commander said that I might be transferred to another company as a squad leader. In this way, when I leave the army in the future, my life will be easier. And I will train some good soldiers for other companies.”

Gu Changan sat down next to him, “This is a good thing. Why are you unhappy?”

If he can be promoted to squad leader, he will die of joy. Being a squad leader has a high salary, and he can continue to be promoted to the top in the future.

Then he can become a cadre, so he doesn’t always have to train for a mission.

Old Gazi squinted at him, “What do you know? I could have been promoted a long time ago. But I am reluctant to leave our company. How glorious are we! Wherever we go, everyone knows that we have been on the front line and fought against the enemy. We are soldiers with glory. But there are too many excellent people in our company, I can’t get promoted in our company. If I get promoted, I can only go outside. I don’t want to go, I want to go to the frontline to fight the enemy ”

“Brother Gazi, just take a good rest. You don’t have to fight the enemy to be a soldier, right?”

Gu Changan felt that the old Gazi was too stubborn.

“Chang’an, we are soldiers, we are soldiers. We have to be worthy of the clothes we wear. In the past two years of famine, many people in many places can’t eat enough, but why can our troops be full? That’s what the people saved for us to eat. We are not serving as soldiers to get enough food and allowances, but to be worthy of the morsel the common people gave us!”

Gu Changan blushed guiltily. Fortunately, it was dark, and so was his face, so he couldn’t tell.

Old Gazi wiped away his tears, “a few years ago when we went to help our old neighbors fight the enemy, we passed a village on the border. The old villagers themselves were hungry but also want to give us food. She said, ‘I feel at ease when I look at you. You soldiers are pillars reaching the sky. You can’t fall down. With you, we don’t have to worry about little devils coming to bully us again.’”

 

……Gu Chang’an returned to the barracks and lay down on the bed to sleep, staring at the military uniform hanging by his bed.
