The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

"Dad, what was that soldier doing just now? Was he from a nearby unit?" the woman asked curiously.

"Yes, his wife's younger sister came here for a rural assignment, and he brought the things over."

The woman also saw the letter of introduction and household registration certificate on the table.

"My wife's sister, he got married?" The woman felt a little disappointed.

She even thought that if he weren't married, maybe she could get to know him.

"Of course we're married. Why are you asking?" The captain looked up at his daughter in confusion.

The woman lowered her head guiltily, "It's nothing."

It's such a pity.

"Why didn't her wife's younger sister come? Wasn't she a sent-down youth?"

There are several educated youths in their village, all of whom were sent to the countryside a couple of years ago.

The village even paid for the renovation of an uninhabited courtyard for the educated youth to live in, and now all the educated youth in the brigade live in that courtyard.

But those educated youth men were all bookish and women were all delicate and pretentious; none of them were cut out for manual labor.

When I first arrived, I was worse off than a child, who could earn several work points a day.

But at most, they only earn three work points a day.

Even if there's only one work point left, it's considered that the work wasn't wasted.

It took several months to get used to it before it got a little better.

Some couldn't even stand working every day, so they married people from the production brigade hoping to have a better life.

"It seems like he injured his leg; he'll come back once it's healed."

"Forget about that, what are you doing here?"

The brigade leader valued his daughter highly; she was the only one in the brigade who had attended high school.

Although she only studied for a year, the tuition was too expensive and the journey was long. Also, there were plans to be made outside, so her family was worried and asked her to come back.

However, many people also praised her daughter for being capable. Now she is a teacher at the primary school in the brigade, and she can earn full work points without having to work.

Many people in the village envy his daughter.

"Oh, the tractor is back. Your uncle is calling you over to see it."

The captain immediately stood up. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

He quickly put the things he had just put into the drawer and was about to leave.

"Isn't it the same as telling you now? Besides, the tractor has already been brought back, are you worried it will run away?"

"What do you know? This is the first tractor in our brigade. It's a treasure of the brigade. It will make transporting grain much more convenient in the future."

The captain hurriedly walked outside.

The woman, somewhat helpless, quickly followed.

Qin Xiang'an has already returned.

Shen Jingyue heard that he had already spoken to the captain and that Xiao Lan could go back to work after she recovered from her injuries.

"Also, the brigade leader said that Xiaolan won't get any work points while she's recovering from her injury, and without work points, she won't be able to exchange them for grain at the end of the year."

"I know that, it's okay. Xiaolan is staying at home, so we don't need to worry about food for now."

"Are you going to work today?" Shen Jingyue asked Qin Xiang'an.

"No need, I'm taking a day off today and going back to work tomorrow. What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Since you have nothing to do, why don't you tidy up another empty space in the yard? We can plant some vegetables there."

She had this idea before, but Qin Xiang'an was always busy, and she also had to take care of the child, so she never had the time.

Qin Xiang'an has nothing to do now, so this free labor is just sitting around doing nothing anyway.

"Okay, I'll go get the hoe and start hoeing now."

Qin Xiang'an does whatever his wife says; he tries his best to satisfy her every wish.

Soon Qin Xiang'an came out with a hoe and started hoeing the ground in the yard.

Shen Jinglan was playing with Xiao Beichen inside the house when she heard the sound of hoeing outside, so she curiously pushed her wheelchair to the door.

I saw my brother-in-law hoeing the ground in the yard.

Curious, she asked her sister, "Sis, what is your husband doing?"

"I'm hoeing the ground. I'm planning to use that plot of land to grow some vegetables or something."

"Xiaolan, you stay inside and watch the child for me. I'm going to help your brother-in-law."

"Okay." Xiaolan nodded.

Shen Jingyue also went to the corner of the kitchen to get a smaller hoe and went over to help Qin Xiang'an hoe the ground.

Qin Xiang'an saw that she had come over as well.

He said, "Wife, you'd better not hoe it. This ground is a bit hard; you can't hoe it."

"It's okay, I'll help you, that way it'll be faster."

Shen Jingyue hoeed the ground beside him.

"If you're tired, take a break. Don't make things harder for yourself."

Shen Jingyue hoeed away, and indeed the ground was a bit hard, perhaps because she walked around on it frequently.

You can't hoe properly if you don't put in the effort.

After hoeing for a while, Shen Jingyue got a little tired.

Qin Xiang'an had been watching her closely. Seeing that she was sweating, he came over and took the hoe from her hand.

"Okay, stop hoeing. If you really want to help, go get a rake and rake the area I just hoeed. That won't be as tiring."

Shen Jingyue glanced at the spot he had cleared, nodded, and went inside to get another rake.

After raking the area that had been hoed, Qin Xiang'an, who was strong, finished the job in about half an hour. The area wasn't very big, and he was strong enough to do so.

The place isn't big, but it's enough to grow some vegetables.

"It's all done. I'll go ask Sister Lu if she has any vegetable seeds later, and plant all of these."

"Wait a minute, there's a lot of chicken droppings in the chicken coop. I'll take them over and compost them to nourish this area first."

"Okay, then you'll be in charge of fertilizing the vegetables from now on, and I'll take care of watering them."

Shen Jingyue quickly arranged how the two of them would divide the responsibilities for the land.

"Okay, whatever you say." Qin Xiang'an said helplessly.

She was the one who said she wanted to farm, but now she's sharing the work with him.

So it turns out he'll not only have to take care of the chickens, but also this vegetable garden.

Sigh, what can I do? She's my wife, so of course I have to fulfill her wishes.

In the past, Qin Xiang'an would dump the chicken droppings from the chicken coop into the vegetable garden to let them decompose, and then plant the vegetables a couple of days later.

In the afternoon, Chuncao came to the house, and Qin Xiang'an was suddenly summoned by his boss, but he didn't know what it was about.

Chuncao sat in the room chatting with them, talking about what had happened in the family compound these past few days.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know yet, do you? That capitalist's daughter in the family compound is pregnant. A couple of days ago, she got into a fight with her mother-in-law and almost miscarried."

"Oh, is she alright?"

Shen Jingyue recalled her conversation with her before and thought that the capitalist's daughter wasn't particularly domineering, so why did she suddenly start fighting with her mother-in-law?

However, considering what I'd heard before about how difficult it was for the capitalist's mother-in-law and sister-in-law to get along, perhaps it was just her mother-in-law deliberately causing trouble.

"Fortunately, a kind-hearted aunt went in and took her to the clinic, and the baby is saved for now."
