Chapter 234: Buying a Mountain

At the beginning of '79, there was a ZY war, which attracted the attention of the people of the whole country.

And Du Juan was nesting in the pharmacy day by day, preparing various pills, and sending them to Lin Aijun, who was fighting in the south, through Guò Lin Shaopeng.

It's been almost a year since Lin Aijun left, and there are still some letters during this period, but in recent months...... If it weren't for Lin Shaopeng's guarantee, Du Juan would have asked for leave and gone to the south.

On this day, Lin Shaopeng was coming back earlier than usual, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"Why are you so happy today, what good things have happened?" Lu Xiaolin took Lin Shaopeng's coat, shook the ashes carefully, and hung it on the hanger.

Speaking of which, since Lin Shaopeng went to the border of country Z, his brows have not stretched for a day.

Lin Aijun's troops, as the most well-equipped, most advanced, and most combat-capable team in country Z, have long been secretly lurking at the border.

Lin Shaopeng is so happy today, because in this ZY war, the troops of country Z are relatively complete in terms of combat uniforms, guns, ammunition, medicines, and rescue, and the casualties are not too many, but country Y has been defeated.

In particular, Lin Aijun's troops went deep into the enemy's army, and killed many middle-level generals of country Y openly and secretly, which once left the dragons of country Y leaderless and retreated several hills.

"A good thing, a great thing!" Lin Shaopeng was so excited that he almost danced, "Xiaolin, do you know, this war is almost over, and my country has won a decisive victory." ”

Hearing him say this, Lu Xiaolin grabbed Lin Shaopeng's shirt when she arrived, and her eyes flashed with tears of excitement, "Is it possible for my family to come back?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Shaopeng touched his head a little embarrassed, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Xiaolin, he ...... love the army."

"What's wrong with him, he's hurt?" Lu Xiaolin's hand holding Lin Shaopeng's shirt tightened.

"No, no, don't get excited, listen to me first." Lin Shaopeng held Lu Xiaolin's shoulders with both hands, lowered his head slightly, and his eyes were extremely serious, "Xiaolin, listen well, our son's team is very special, they go to the border earlier than any team, but they have to clean their tails before they can come back." ”

"Listen to what you mean, I don't know when our Aijun will come back?" Lu Xiaolin said angrily, "Could it be that except for their team, the other troops are all eating dry food?" ”

Lin Shaopeng was very embarrassed by Lu Xiaolin, but the country is in a hurry, everything needs money, and everything needs talents. The amount of money allocated to the troops is also very limited, and it is not possible to really train a soldier into an ordinary special forces soldier in a day or two.

Therefore, the team led by Lin Aijun, because they started training in the direction of special forces early, they played a very important role in this war.

"Xiao Lin, you have to know the peculiarities of the patriotic troops." Lin Shaopeng said good-naturedly, "The troops led by the patriotic army belong to independent troops, and they are not under the jurisdiction of the military department, but are directly under the orders of the ********. I can get some information, and I guess it may be for the sake of the Patriotic Army. ”

"Alas, I thought the Patriotic Army was coming back soon." Although Lu Xiaolin is righteous, she hopes that her son can return to the camp as soon as the war is over, like other troops.

"Don't worry, this war is won by our side, and the fight is still quite smooth, so the patriotic army may be able to come back at the end of the year."

Lu Xiaolin glanced at him and knew that what he said was purely out of comfort, but as a military wife, this realization was still there.

"Then have you figured out how to stand up to Xiao Juan?" Lu Xiaolin raised her eyebrows, she knew that every night after eating, Xiaojuan would find Shaopeng to understand the situation of Aijun in detail, and every time she had to ask Shaopeng about the smoke above her head, she would stop.

Lin Shaopeng shuddered excitedly, he was a little stunned by Du Juan's difficulty, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I plan to tell the truth." ”

"Good luck then."

Lin Shaopeng watched Lu Xiaolin go out, he took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the restaurant.

Today is not a day off, so the Du family brothers and sisters did not come back to eat.

There were more than half children sitting at the table, staring at the food on the table like wolves, glancing at the door from time to time. When they saw Lu Xiaolin and Lin Shaopeng, their eyes were obviously brighter.

"Sorry, we're late." Lin Shaopeng sincerely apologized, "But as compensation, I will tell everyone good news before the meal." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Shaopeng deliberately paused, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him with curious eyes, he announced loudly, "The war is about to end." ”

"Uncle (uncle) is coming back?"

"Well, no." Lin Shaopeng finally realized that for his family, when Lin Aijun and Zhao Dagang would come back was what they wanted to know the most, and the others were just incidental.

After realizing this, Lin Shaopeng was able to find the right point of the reply when he was pestered by Du Juan next.

In fact, Du Juan was not so pestering before, but she was worried about Lin Aijun, she was nesting in the pharmacy to dispense medicine, or pestering Lin Shaopeng all the time, she only wanted to divert her attention and not pay too much attention to Lin Aijun.

But soon, Du Juan was partially distracted by the news brought by Lu Xiaolin.

"Mom, what are you talking about, the mountain I want is done?" Du Juan was overjoyed, her bright and clear apricot eyes were round.

"Of course, how can I not remember what you told me?" Lu Xiaolin said strangely, "No, as soon as I got the news today, I immediately came here." ”

"Xiaojuan, I'll take down the mountains that stretch together on the outskirts of Beijing for you, and take the land at the foot of the mountains." Lu Xiaolin said, "Although those fields are only dry land, there is no problem at all with the flowers and vegetables you use to grow flowers. ”

"Oh, and the water problem, you don't have to worry about it. There are a few large and small ponds scattered there, whether it is used for irrigation or raising fish and lotus, it is a very good choice. ”

Du Juan listened to Lu Xiaolin's simple description, and really wanted to go to the field to investigate immediately.

"And when can I go over and have a look?" Du Juan couldn't wait to ask, "I have to draw a topographic map of the mountain first, and then decide where to plant what according to the terrain and soil quality?" ”

Lu Xiaolin knew that Du Juan had a plan in her heart, and she was not worried that Du Juan would be abandoned after getting such a large mountain.

"There's no urgency, in short, the mountain outside the outskirts of Beijing is yours, and you can go to see it at any time." Lu Xiaolin said this and smiled mysteriously, "Moreover, the Patriotic Army's unit is near that mountain forest, and you can get closer to the Patriotic Army after you come." ”

"That's great!" Du Juan clapped her hands and applauded, "Mom, don't worry, I must make that mountain the most beautiful place in the capital!" ”

Du Juan clenched her fists and swore.

After taking the title deed, Du Juan went to the outskirts of Beijing non-stop.

The mountains and forests are very primitive, full of thorns and miscellaneous trees, and it is useful to see a few trees visually.

"It looks like we're going to have to spend some money to clear the wasteland." Du Juan walked alone in the mountains and forests of barren grass and living beings, and she looked left and right.

When she found a valuable tree, she drew a circle on the pole of the tree, and cut down the good tree when she opened up the wasteland in the future.

After walking for half an hour (mainly because the circle was delayed), Du Juan stood on the top of the hill and took in the scenery at the foot of the mountain at a glance.

Du Juan silently remembered in her heart, and she began to walk towards the next hill again.

By the time Du Juan had walked through all the mountains, half a day had passed, and she had already memorized the general shape of these mountains.

When she got home, Du Juan was locked in her room.

Spreading out the large paper and drawing tools she had bought for her, Du Juan began to draw.

This is the shallow water of the pond can be planted with some lotus roots, this hillside is shaded, you can plant some shade-loving plants, and so on Du Juan can think of some of the things she remarked one by one.

By the time of dinner, Du Juan had roughly drawn a topographical map of the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing.

After dinner, Du Juan immediately took the drawings and went to Lu Xiaolin's house.

Lu Xiaolin carefully spread out the paper, and immediately fascinated the graphics on the paper.

After a while, Lu Xiaolin smiled and quipped, "You won't have anything to eat in the future, so you can sell drawings for a living." ”

Du Juan rolled her eyes, "Don't worry, Mom, this will never happen in this life." ”

Thinking of her Du Juan, even if she escaped all the way in her previous life, she didn't fall into the realm of selling drawings for a living.

"Mom, what do you think of my plans?" Du Juan was a little embarrassed, thinking that if she really wanted to clean up the mountain according to her wishes, it would cost a lot of money.

"That's good, but if you believe Mom, I think we shouldn't mess with all the mountains in the first place." Lu Xiaolin cautiously persuaded, "We can come from mountain to mountain, so that we don't waste money, and we can do it more carefully." ”

Du Juan lowered her head and thought about it, feeling that what Lu Xiaolin said was right, she was a little carried away.

So Du Juan said to Lu Xiaolin very sincerely, "Fortunately, my mother reminded me, otherwise I might have lost my money." Therefore, it is not false to say that there is an old man in the family and a treasure. ”

"How can you say that you are so exaggerated?" Lu Xiaolin smiled and said, "You have a kind of going to inspect the market and calculate how much it costs to open up the wasteland, plant, buy seedlings, etc." Then make an account book, and list the money invested and the money spent, so that it will be much easier for you to check the account in the future. ”

Du Juan listened humbly, asking a few questions from time to time, and the two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted until Lin Shaopeng came back.

Du Juan returned to the room, but she still couldn't sleep, so she turned on the lamp and continued to lie on the table to revise the drawings drawn in the afternoon.

"I'll go again tomorrow, and dig up some soil on different terrain and send it for testing." Du Juan muttered softly while looking at the drawings.

In this way, Du Juan will find time every day to pay attention to the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing. And the attention on Lin Aijun, although it has decreased a little, is just no longer too nervous, and he is not holding on to Lin Shaopeng and asking.

On this day, the Lin family compound welcomed several friends.

"Fat sister-in-law, Sister Hua Niu, Sister Ji, Hu Meng, I haven't seen you for a long time." Du Juan happily took their hands, "Come in, come in, let's talk in the house." ”

The fat sister-in-law also had a happy smile on her face, "Xiaojuan, you haven't changed at all!" ”

"Fat sister-in-law, have you changed?" Du Juan shot back with a smile, "But it's true that something has changed, and I've become younger and more beautiful." ”

The fat sister-in-law was a little embarrassed by what she said, and unconsciously touched her face and sighed, "These days, I am patronizing and worrying about Lao Yu, how can I still care about myself." ”

Du Juan knew that the men in their family were still on the battlefield, and she herself was worried from time to time, but she couldn't say it, she just persuaded, "Don't worry, the big army has already returned, presumably they should be soon." ”

"I hope so!" The fat sister-in-law also knew that she couldn't ask anything from Du Juan's mouth, so she wasn't disappointed or anything. Even Hua Niu and the others did not express their disappointment with Du Juan's statement.

"Today shouldn't be a day off, why don't you stay at home and not have to go to school?" Hu Meng affectionately held Du Juan's arm and said, "I really envy that you can be admitted to university." ”

Hu Meng's age is passing, but she hasn't even graduated from elementary school, which suddenly makes her go to university, isn't it difficult for a strong person?

Fortunately, Hu Meng is content, and now she is half of her mind on Sun Dahai and half of her mind on her two daughters. I have the money on hand when I resold the mountain goods, so I have a good life.

Everyone sat down in the living room, and Du Juan poured water for them again, before sitting next to the fat sister-in-law and said, "Why don't you bring the children?" ”

"It's all going to school." The fat sister-in-law said, "Actually, we didn't mention it to the children, otherwise those guys would definitely be clamoring to come to see you." ”

"It's also my fault, I haven't been able to find time to see you." Du Juan blushed a little, people took great care of her at the beginning, but she thought that she could write off it after finding some profitable deals. I don't know that not all love can be bought with money.

"You can pull it down." Ji Min said, "You have to take care of four children by yourself, how can you have time to go to us?" ”

"yes, you go to us or we come over, isn't it all the same?" Hua Niu smiled, "When I first came to Beijing, I was busy decorating my new home and adapting to the new environment, and I really didn't think of you much." ”

"So, Sister Hua Niu means that you don't want to be sentimental." After Hu Meng finished speaking, he laughed first, "According to Sister Ji's meaning, we are stopping by to see you this time." ”

Du Juan shook her head helplessly, "Okay, I'm the one who came with it." ”

"Hahaha......"

"Actually, if you don't come today, I have to go too."

"What's the matter, do you really miss us?" Hu Meng quipped.

"Yes, of course I do, but I don't think too much about it, it's just that I have something else to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Everyone was curious.

Although the fat sister-in-law came to the capital, she still did not forget Du Juan's ability, and knew that she was also generous, and she was never stingy when she could reach out and pull a hand.

I just said so solemnly that I want to discuss with them, I think there must be something good again, it seems that this trip is the right one.

"I bought a few hills and wanted to develop them."

"Shantou, why did you buy it?" Hua Niu said curiously, "That thing is used casually in my hometown, and I never have to pay." ”

"Don't cross the flower, listen to Xiaojuan." The fat sister-in-law pulled the flower girl, she knew that Du Juan must have her own reasons for doing this. (To be continued.) )
