After a pause, Jiang Xiaoqin took a deep breath and wanted to ask Chen Yuxiang if she had any new information about personnel transfers in the regiment.

Although Chen Yuxiang's husband is just an instructor, he can't stand her friendship with Li Shuangying. Judging by how familiar they are, Ping Suri is often running the door, and maybe he hears some rumors.

Helplessly, just about to open his mouth, Chen Yuxiang's vegetable field arrived.

"Oh, I'll go! I haven't been here for three days, and the grass has been sending so much again. These little ancestors really have to serve every day to become successful......"

As he spoke, he raised his head and pointed to the loofah stand not far away, and said to Jiang Xiaoqin:

"See, that shelf belongs to the third battalion commander's family, and her house will be your family's land in the past. You hurry up, it's a hot day, sow the seeds, and the hair will be fast, you can eat it in ten days and a half months, and you can cut a few more taels of meat if you save some money. ”

After speaking, Chen Yuxiang was busy with herself.

Jiang Xiaoqin was deflated in one breath, pulled the corners of her mouth, and still didn't have a chance to ask the question she had to ask again and again, so she had to go to her own place.

But she forgot that this was not a private plot in the countryside, and she could just carry a basket and bring a sickle to grow molded vegetables and fruits.

The vegetable patch here is still a bunch of weeds.

She held the scythe and absentmindedly hoeed the grass for hours, still disorganized.

I heard Chen Yuxiang shouting: "Xiaoqin, okay, let's go to the foot of the mountain to gather." ”

She didn't care, it was too tiring.

The self-reserved land in her hometown has always been taken care of by her in-laws, and she almost never touches other work except for occasionally going to the vegetable field to cut some vegetables and pick some melons.

Now that he has fallen with the army, he has to do everything himself.

I really don't know what these military wives think, obviously their husbands' allowances are not low, and there are food subsidies every month, so there is no reason to buy vegetables, so they have to work hard from the compound to the foot of the mountain to open the land and grow vegetables......

Walking to the grassy slope at the foot of the mountain, where wild vegetables are often raised, several military wives meet next to each other to exchange the output of each family's field.

Ying Fang came the latest, Tuo Chen asked the logistics for some vegetable seeds, and before the end of April, he came out with two ridges, one of which was planted with greens, cabbage, garlic, leeks, and a circle of edamame and peppers around.

It is said that edamame grows well without fertilization, and it also brings vegetables around it.

On another ridge, Xiang Gang spent half a day building two rows of bamboo frames and planting loofahs, cucumbers, pumpkins, and gourds. It's all dishes that don't need to be worn.

It's just that melons have a long growth period, and they only bloom after a while. It's cabbage and greens, and I've eaten several meals. There are also fresh garlic leaves and leeks, which is the right time.

Li Shuangying didn't grow leeks, and he wanted to try the leek box, so he exchanged the tomatoes, eggplants, and tender corn in his basket with Yingfang.

In fact, if you look carefully, you can find a lot of wild leeks nearby, so why worry about not finding them if you really want to eat them?

Ying Fang knew they were trying to help her.

After all, it was late, less than a month after sowing, and it was not time to eat anything except leafy vegetables.

Tomatoes, corn, and eggplants are long gone by the time Yingfang goes to beg for them.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Shuangying took the lead in exchanging with Yingfang.

After a while, Yingfang's vegetable basket changed from green leafy vegetables at the beginning to a variety of beautiful ones.

Seeing that Chen Yuxiang led Jiang Xiaoqin over, Li Shuangying waved his hand: "Let's go! Dig some wild vegetables, it's time to go back! It's too late." ”

On Mayday, I couldn't wear a jacket under the sun. The jacket is a patched shirt, so it is generally not taken off outside.

Jiang Xiaoqin saw the vegetable basket that Ying Fang was carrying on her arm, and couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Shu's family has grown so many kinds of vegetables, they are colorful and look strange." ”

"Where, Xiao Shu is late, the vegetable field only opened last month, and the tomatoes and corn should have been exchanged with the head of the regiment's wife. Chen Yuxiang said on the side.

At the same time, he took a handful of celery from his basket and gave it to Yingfang, and said with a smile:

"I heard Lao Wang say that your garlic leaves are very fragrant, very tender, and delicious. When I went to my mother's house a few days ago, didn't he go to your house for a meal, and when he came back, he told me that I should plant some next year. It's rare to have a vegetarian dish that he takes the initiative to eat, so he can't put it off next year. Give me a little change, enough to fry a small plate. There is still a little bit of salted meat left from last month, and if you don't eat it again this day, it will be spoiled, and you will fry garlic leaves in the evening. ”

Ying Fang saw that the garlic leaves in the basket could be fried on two plates, so she divided half of them into Chen Yuxiang: "There are still some in the field, and I will send some to my sister-in-law next time." ”

"Just try it. Chen Yuxiang said with a smile.

Jiang Xiaoqin, who was on the side, looked down at her empty basket, opened her mouth, and was about to ask Yingfang for a handful of greens or leeks, but heard Li Shuangying shouting over there: "What are you guys still rubbing, the sun is getting hotter and hotter, hurry up, dig some wild vegetables and go home." Xiao Jiang, your vegetable field has not yet opened, so go back with more wild vegetables, so you don't have to run the vegetable field......"

"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Jiang, come on, the wild vegetables here are quite tender, it is estimated that they have just grown, dig more and go back, blanching cold salad or boiling gnocchi soup is delicious." If you don't know, I'll teach you......"

"Look at what you said, Xiao Jiang's hometown is in the countryside, and like Xiao Shu, why don't you know wild vegetables?"

"That's right, then Xiao Jiang, you dig it quickly, I'll go over there and have a look. I don't know if I have the luck of the fourth battalion commander, how good it would be to catch a fat rabbit and go back......"

Speaking of rabbits, the words of several sisters-in-law went back to Yingfang and her family to the battalion commander. As when she came, she kept joking, Yingfang's ears were red all the way, and her face was quite calm.

As a result, Jiang Xiaoqin couldn't interject anymore.

Until she returned to the compound, she had no chance to say anything after a night of typing.

The only harvest is a heavy basket of wild vegetables.

"I really don't understand, what is delicious about this wild vegetable, it's bitter, these people are really sick. I can't put it in my basket and I desperately stuff it, I'm so kind, why don't you give me a few vegetables I grown......"

When she got home, Jiang Xiaoqin threw the basket, took off her coat, picked up the teapot and poured saliva, feeling super unhappy. If it was like this every day, she would really regret coming to join the army.

In the bathroom, Yingfang cleaned the wild vegetables she had dug up today.

The vegetables picked in the field, as well as those exchanged with my sisters-in-law, don't look at the many types, each is actually only a plate of amount, adding up, barely enough to eat for two days-

Green vegetables are used to cook noodles or gnocchi soup in the morning, tomato soup or sprinkle some sugar on cold salad, baby cabbage stir-fried, eggplant mixed with garlic paste, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried smoked rabbit meat with garlic leaves, and corn boiled for Xiang Gang as a snack.

Xiang Gang sometimes finishes work late in the evening, and it is seven o'clock when he gets home to eat. Therefore, Yingfang would always stuff a steamed bun or cake in his pocket, and at three or four o'clock in the afternoon he would be hungry to pad his stomach.
