This kind of "thanksgiving" marriage custom, in which the old lover occupies the "first night" when getting married, was first popular in the north of Annam. After the reunification of the north and the south in 1975, it gradually became popular in the south of Annam.

After the end of the border war with China in 1979, an undercurrent began to quietly spread in northern and southern Annam, and polygamy began to spread among the people, commonly known as "commonplace". What is puzzling is that food is basically used in various places to replace the status of multiple wives in the family. For example, in the rural areas of Anbei, the eldest wife is generally called "rice", the second wife is "noodles", the third wife is "rice noodles", and the fourth wife is "steamed bread".

Nearly a century of intermittent wars, particularly the Vietnam War and the 1979 border war with China, led to a serious gender imbalance in the country. While the constitution still practices monogamy, the government has no choice but to turn a blind eye to the polygamy trend that has become popular.

Not every man is qualified to taste all the "common food", and only those who have a large family property can get a few or even more wives. Not all "leftover women" are qualified to be little wives, even if they want to be little wives, they also need conditions. Only those young and beautiful girls will be fortunate enough to let men fall in love, find a lifelong support, and successfully promote from "leftover women" to "commonplace".

The traditional marriage age of Annam women is 16-20 years old, and those women who are still single at the age of 20 are often considered "leftover women", that is, they have passed the marriageable age. The vast majority of these "leftover women" are active or retired soldiers. Many women who survived the war did not want to die alone and helpless, so "seeking children" became a social problem that the Annan government had to face.

The so-called "asking for a child" is, to put it bluntly, "asking for a child from others". In order to have a child, these retired female soldiers who have lost the possibility of marriage, wifery, and motherhood secretly ask men for help, and even spend money to "borrow" seeds, asking men to help conceive children, and then no longer have any contact with each other.

The behavior of "asking for children" soon spread to the whole society, and most of the "leftover women" who could not marry chose to seek children through "one-night-love". Men have become precious "rare animals", and women often have to engage in "one-night love", but thousands of Annan women still gave birth to children through "one-night-love". In various parts of Annam, "one, night, love" is as common as drinking a glass of cold water. The problem of having children out of wedlock has become another more serious social problem in the whole country of Annam for a time.

In the early 80s, in order to reduce the loneliness of female soldiers, and more importantly, to resist the threat of a serious imbalance in the population, the Annan government had to lift the ban on "no marriage and no children", declaring that families with single mothers and children born out of wedlock would also be considered family units and would have the right to land and other rights.

This national policy of Annan has effectively alleviated the serious problem of "sexual repression" and pension for single retired female soldiers. This "humane" national policy has also been ahead of many countries, and it was only ten years later in 1994 that this right was truly recognized around the world. However, the Chinese authorities did not officially recognize this right until the author wrote the novel "Iron Blooded Ghost......

The witch's explanation made everyone in the brothers' squad feel the "love" of men and women in pairs by the river or under the bushes. As they continued along the embankment, a riverside park appeared in front of them, and many people were moving in the small square. They crossed the small square, ready to continue along the embankment. But when he arrived at the pavilion in the center of the square, he was stopped by a group of girls wearing white Ao Dai chatting in the pavilion.

"You are the senior staff of the Lancang clan leader, right?" A tall girl asked in English.

"yes, how do you know?" Zheng Shuwen replied in fluent English.

"The newspapers and TV are full of news about the big chief, wow, the chief's wife and princesses are so beautiful. Your chieftain and his wife and princesses are traveling with their wives and princesses, which is the biggest news in Southeast Asia right now. The girl said excitedly. It seems that princesses such as Yingya and Mei Xue have become the idols of Annan girls and are getting hotter and hotter.

A girl couldn't wait to ask, "Are the four beautiful little princesses all married?" Is it difficult for Lancang women to get married? Another girl said, "Tell us about the Longdai tribe, I heard that you are the richest tribe in Lancang, can we also go to your tribe in Lancang to work after graduation?" ”

It turned out that this was a group of girls who were attending college in the capital, and they used their winter vacation to travel along the Red River and also arrived in Amphée. Yu Songyuan and the five didn't want to be entangled by them, so they bragged about the Long Dai tribe indiscriminately, so they finally sent them away.

When he returned to the hotel, Lin Zhumin went to the jeep and saw that there was a travel bag. When I took it to the hotel and opened it, there were five brand-new officer uniforms, a soldier's uniform, and a full set of documents.

The next day, they left the tribal warriors to look at the luggage, and the others drove a few BJ212 off-road vehicles, played around the small town of Anpei, and ate all the snacks, and the common feeling was that in the end, it was the Chinese cultural circle, and the snacks of Annan were really powerful, especially the spring rolls, which were the same as Luocheng, so delicious!

But the alley was deeper, and I still saw the fame, and my mood was heavier.

After the 1979 border war, Annan quickly fell into economic depression before he could fully recuperate. 1983 was a good year, with good weather and a bumper grain harvest, with the country's rice output reaching 17 million tons. The bumper agricultural harvest and the economic depression situation for many years have begun to take a slight turn.

But the next year came to 1984, when the whole country was in drought, and the spring drought reached the level of once in 50 years. In autumn, there is a succession of autumn droughts, which is also a once-in-a-decade occurrence. In the year of the great drought, there will be a major disaster, and a wave of pests and diseases that swept through Anbei has hit the fruit industry in the northern provinces of Annan again.

Anbei is the land of fruits, and farmers in mountainous areas mostly live on fruits and vegetables. The rice harvest failed, the fruit industry collapsed, and the livelihood of farmers was struggling, and Annam's economy was also worse.

Annan is a typical agricultural country, but also a typical poor country. The agricultural catastrophe has brought a depression to all walks of life. The ordinary people of the small town of Ampe have an extremely difficult life. The old woman picking up the vegetable leaves in the loud voice, the children with yellow faces and thin muscles and not eating their stomachs, and the tired crowd waiting for rice in front of the grain store......

These ants are busy with their livelihoods, and almost all of them are the elderly, children and women. Most of the young men have become soldiers, and the young women in the city walk with dazzling green uniforms......

The plight of the people made the team feel depressed, but what puzzled them was that almost all of the dismal merchants blamed the economic depression and difficult life on the "aggression" and "encroachment" of China, a strong neighbor in the north. Perhaps, the Le Duan clique is unwilling to withdraw its troops from the Khmer Khmer, and at the same time friction with China on the border, and does not hesitate to use troops on both sides, and its own embarrassment is precisely to divert domestic contradictions.

Judging from the performance of An Bai residents, it is clear that this national strategy of the Le Duan Group has been "successful". But no one has bothered about the long-term damage that can be brought to Annan's national fortunes. This kind of practice of disregarding the lives of the people made Yu Songyuan and others very disgusted with the Liming ruling clique.

In the evening, the five changed into Annan officer uniforms and drove to the outskirts in jeeps. The occasional vehicles on the road are almost all military vehicles, most of which are China's Jiefang trucks. For the jeep driven by Lin Zhumin, no one took a second look or asked about it.

The ammunition depot was built on an empty small plain with a small hill behind it. According to the information provided by Lao Li, there is a cave under the hill, and during the Vietnam War, the ammunition, equipment, rice, etc., which China provided free of charge, were stored in the cave. At present, the underground cavern is basically abandoned, and the materials, equipment, and munitions are stored directly in the warehouse above the ground.

Two or three kilometers away from the ammunition depot, there is an abandoned old factory that was completely blown up by the planes of the M Army. At that time, the scale of the factory should have been quite small, but now there are only ruins and ruins in it, and the machinery and equipment have been moved to other places back then. Around the factory, there are swarthy vegetable fields and orchards.

They drove into the ruins of the factory, which were covered with a mess of low trees and weeds as tall as a man, and it was pitch black, deserted, and quiet. From time to time, glowing fireflies fly over the wilderness, ghostly fire, shadows, desolate and terrifying. Liu Guodong parked the car in the broken wall of a large factory, startled a camping wild cat, "meowed", and fled in a hurry.

Everyone jumped out of the car, left the ruins, walked through orchards and vegetable fields, and approached the ammunition depot. When it was about 1,000 meters away from the ammunition base, all the front was flat farmland.

They lay on their stomachs in the grass on the ridges of the fields to observe, perhaps to ensure the safety of the base, the entire perimeter of the large ammunition depot, there are no orchards, all vegetable fields. In front of the ammunition depot, convoys came and went from time to time, and they took out luminous binoculars and took out a closer look.

"Ghost, the outbound vehicle only checks the first car of the convoy, probably the door pass, and the rest of the vehicles don't look at it at all. But when entering the garage, each vehicle has to be carefully checked for documents and compartments, and even if we jump into the car, we dare not guarantee that we can safely blend in! It seems that we have to find a way to sneak in through the wall. Lin Zhumin said depressedly.

Yu Songyuan observed the three convoys that entered the base one after another, and the gate inspection was meticulous. Some cars have escorts on board, standing or sitting, and the doorman even jumps into the car to check the documents one by one. Two wolf dogs, even the bottom of the car has to be sniffed.

Soon after the Donghe military station was attacked, the enemy's alert level was raised, and how to infiltrate the base became a difficult problem. Lao Li once specifically said that after the attack on Donghe, the Anpei ammunition depot strengthened its vigilance. Equidistant light and dark sentinels have been set up on the entire periphery of the base, and it is too risky not to alarm the enemy to sneak in.
