After dinner, it was not dark yet, Lin Xiaohuan said to the family, and went to find the old army commander.

The material for making wine is poor sugar, which is not only expensive, but also requires sugar stamps to buy.

In the village, sugar stamps are issued uniformly according to the capitation, one person only has two taels a quarter, and a family only saves a few catties of sugar stamps a year, and everyone is reluctant to use them at ordinary times.

Therefore, Lin Xiaohuan had a headache when he thought that he wanted more than 20 catties of sugar.

It's impossible.

Fortunately, he met the old army commander in the afternoon, and his love for wine gave Lin Xiaohuan the courage to ask him for help.

When she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she found that the gate was closed, and it was a little strange that the doors of every house in the village were open except for sleeping at night.

"Grandpa Lin." Lin Xiaohuan politely knocked on the door, only to find that the door was not only closed, but also bolted from the inside.

As the words fell, she heard some noise in the yard, followed by the clatter of pouring water, and the sound of eager running.

What's the situation? She was a little baffled.

"Here we are." In the next second, Su Luo's voice came from the courtyard, and his always calm tone was unexpectedly with a hint of nervousness this time.

After a few clangs, the door opened.

Lin Xiaohuan looked at Su Luo, whose hair was still dripping in front of him, a little dumbfounded, and his gaze slowly moved down, and found that his face was also stained with water, and the collar of his upper military uniform was also wet......

Such a Su Luo, coupled with the sound of water just heard, is it taking a bath?

The thought of bathing...... She was suddenly embarrassed, and her little face began to burn.

Ahem, why did he blush, what does he have to do with himself in a bath, Lin Xiaohuan lowered his head and silently despised himself in his heart.

Su Luo saw that her cheeks were flushed, and she lowered her head again, and a trace of discomfort flashed on her face that had just calmed down, and she unconsciously reached out to the tip of her nose and coughed lightly, "Let's go in." ”

After speaking, he turned and walked into the house first.

Lin Xiaohuan raised his eyes and looked at his straight back, feeling that he was the person who often said that he was thin and undressed and fleshy.

As soon as she thought of what she had joked with her friends before, Lin Xiaohuan's cheeks became hot again, and she was so frightened that she immediately bit her lower lip, patted her little face and walked in.

At this time, Lin Wencai also opened the door from the house and walked out, and saw Su Luo quipping: "Xiao Su, you have always been cold to everything, and it is the first time I have seen you flustered." ”

"You're wrong." Su Luo replied calmly.

"Your discipline is not buttoned." Lin Wencai stared at his collar and opened his mouth with a smile, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Su Luo was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with an unchanged face, and said softly: "Old chief, your eyes are still so powerful. ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Lin Wencai's reaction, so he went upstairs by himself.

Lin Xiaohuan heard the conversation between him and the old military commander, and saw him go upstairs again, so his eyes kept looking at his back.

There is a strange feeling in his heart, the old army commander said that Su Luo is his subordinate, but he feels that the relationship between the two is very close, and the army rarely has a holiday, since Su Luo is on vacation, why don't he go home, but come to the old army commander's house for the first time, and there is a posture of staying here for a long time.

"Xiao Huan, have you had dinner?" Lin Wencai's attention also shifted to Lin Xiaohuan.

Lin Xiaohuan exchanged a few words with him, and explained his intention.

When he heard that white sugar is required to make wine, and there are so many of them, Lin Wencai was also a little surprised, but his face remained unchanged, "How much sugar can you get at home?" ”

Lin Xiaohuan was silent for a few seconds before he whispered: "Grandpa Lin, can you help me get all the sugar?" I'll pay you back the money and sugar stamps when I'm a year later. ”

She estimated that the wine jar can hold about 80 catties of wine, which requires about 120 catties of grapes and 24 catties of sugar, and the price of sugar is 8 cents a catty, a total of 19 yuan and 2 cents.

That's an astronomical amount for her now, but as long as she can sell the wine, it's a small amount.

Moreover, the supply of sugar stamps for the people in the town is two taels a month for one person, and when the time comes, you can ask the aunt to help buy some from acquaintances, and the sugar stamps will not be a problem.

As soon as Lin Wencai heard it, he understood what she meant, thought for a few seconds and smiled: "It's okay, but it will take a few days." ”

"Great, thank you Grandpa Lin." When Lin Xiaohuan heard this, he immediately laughed.

Although she knew that the old army commander could do it, she didn't get an answer, and she was nervous all the time.

"You can give me some more wine then." Lin Wencai saw that her expression was obviously relaxed, so he couldn't help but laugh and joke, as for the white sugar, he didn't plan to let her return it.

"That's for sure." Lin Xiaohuan responded with a smile, and then whispered: "Grandpa Lin, I don't want my mother to know about this." ”

Although she was very sure that she would return it to the old military commander, the rest of the Lin family must still be worried, so it was better not to tell them.

Lin Wen understood her thoughts and nodded in response.

After returning from the old army commander's house, Lin Xiaohuan immediately washed the wine jar and put it at the door to dry.

Early the next morning, before the sun rose, Lin Xiaohuan called Lin Dazhu and Lin Lili up the mountain, and the three of them pushed a board cart and brought two bamboo baskets and a bamboo basket.

As soon as they reached the bottom of the mountain, they saw many soldiers running.

The majestic and high-spirited formation and neat and loud slogans made Lin Xiaohuan look at them and stare at them tightly.

It's been a long time since I've seen a stranger on the mountain, not to mention two little beauties, and although the soldiers tried not to squint, they were inevitably surprised and delighted in their hearts, and they all felt that their feet were a lot lighter, and they started running more vigorously.

At the back of the team, Lin Xiaohuan accidentally discovered Su Luo.

Running side by side with him was a man in his thirties, who, judging from the pockets of his military uniform, was an officer.

Su Luo also noticed her, but her face remained unchanged and ran over without squinting.

It wasn't until the soldiers gradually ran away that Lin Xiaohuan retracted his gaze and reluctantly went up the mountain.

When they reached the mountain, as soon as they were picking grapes, a group of soldiers came up, and Su Luo and the officer were at the front.

"Brother Su." Lin Xiaohuan greeted with a smile.

Su Luo nodded at them, and glanced at the officers beside him.

The officer turned to the ten people behind him and said: "Before going back to sort out the housekeeping, you will be trained for five minutes, move freely, each of you will pick ten catties of grapes within the specified time, and the quality of the grapes must be guaranteed." ”

When the ten people heard this, they looked at Lin Xiaohuan and Lin Lili again, and all of them showed eager expressions on their faces.

Seeing this, the officer directly called the start of the timer.

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers immediately rushed out and rushed to the grapes on the hillside.

Lin Xiaohuan was in a trance during the whole process, and it wasn't until there was a rattling sound in her ears that she came back to her senses, looking at the sturdy soldiers shuttling under the vines, her eyes full of surprise.

They're the sweetest people.

However, Su Luo is a clear "public for personal gain".

"What the old commander meant." Su Luo seemed to see her thoughts and whispered.

When the officer heard his words, surprise flashed in his eyes, when will this guy explain, and immediately glanced at Lin Xiaohuan without a trace, his eyes were deep.

"Thank you, old commander, for me." Lin Xiaohuan listened to Su Luo's words and didn't think about it.

Su Luo didn't say anything more, just nodded, and turned his gaze to the soldiers.

Seeing this, the officer looked at Lin Xiaohuan with a gentle gaze and said, "Hello, my name is Sun Xiang, and I am the instructor of the company. ”

Instructor? One of the bosses of the company? Lin Xiaohuan was particularly surprised.

After a two-second delay, she immediately politely answered: "Instructor Sun, hello, my name is Lin Xiaohuan, and I am a villager from Lin Dazhuang below. ”

Sun Xiang smiled, and then turned to Su Luo to chat, "Lianli has been a little busy recently, the old chief has been back for several days, I haven't had a chance to go to his house to see, and when the hemp spinning factory is on holiday this weekend, I will go over with my wife." ”

Su Luo didn't speak, still nodding slightly.

When Lin Xiaohuan heard his words, something flashed in his mind, but he didn't catch it.
