Chapter 119: Data Acquired
"Come in, come in, your sister-in-law will pour you some water. Lao Jiang, why didn't you call me earlier so that I could buy some more vegetables? Look, there's nothing prepared at home." After welcoming the two people into the house, Ma Xiu Lian began to complain to her husband again.
"You can't blame me for this. It was too late for them to realize it. Even if I called you, you wouldn't be able to buy any food. Besides, they are not outsiders. We can just eat whatever we have." Jiang Zhengguo felt that he was really wronged. It was obviously these two people who came late. What does it have to do with him?
"Okay, okay, okay. I say one thing and you can say ten." Ma Xiu Lian stopped talking nonsense with her husband and went straight to the kitchen to pour water for the two of them.
"Sister-in-law, don't bother. We are not strangers. Just eat something simple." Seeing the couple talking back and forth, Ji Shaowen quickly spoke up.
"Yes, sister-in-law, we can eat anything." Ning Zheng also quickly agreed.
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law gets it. You guys sit here and talk, I'll go to the kitchen to cook for you." In fact, Ma Xiu Lian was not angry at all. She was just afraid that the guests would feel ignored. But now that Ji Shaowen and Ning Zheng didn't care, she didn't dwell on it anymore.
Ma Xiu Lian turned around and went into the kitchen. Looking at the dishes at home, she quickly decided what to cook today.
Ma Xiu Lian was busy cooking in the kitchen, and three old comrades who hadn't seen each other for a long time started chatting in the living room.
During the conversation, Jiang Zhengguo learned that Ji Shaowen and Ning Zheng were here because their partners were both educated youth from the brigade under his commune.
"Alright, these two people who have been quietly dating each other, I was wondering why. Why did you two come here during the New Year and get some materials for the Great Wilderness Brigade? It turns out that this idea was proposed by your partners. Not bad, not bad. Although I haven't met them yet, they sound like two very opinionated girls."
When the two heard Jiang Zhengguo praising Qiao Chuchu and Lin Xue, they were happier than when he praised themselves.
"Okay, stop chatting. The food is ready, let's eat." After Ma Xiu Lian prepared the food, she came out of the kitchen and invited everyone to eat.
The three people who were chatting moved to the dining table after hearing Ma Xiu Lian's words.
"It smells so good! I haven't eaten my sister-in-law's cooking in a long time. I miss her so much."
"Yes, yes, before Brother Jiang was demobilized, we could still go there to get free meals. Now that Brother Jiang has been demobilized, we have nowhere to go to get free meals." After Ji Shaowen finished speaking, Ning Zheng also hurriedly said.
"Oh, that's nothing. Aren't you two here recently? Then come over often. Just tell your sister-in-law what you want to eat and I will cook it for you." When Ma Xiu Lian heard that the two of them liked the food she cooked, she was really happy from the inside out.
"Okay, they finally have a vacation, why don't they spend more time with their partners? How can they have time to come to us?" Jiang Zhengguo knew that his wife was a kind-hearted person, but as soldiers, they finally have a vacation, how could they not spend time with their partners and instead go to the homes of old comrades.
Upon hearing her husband's words, Ma Xiu Lian realized it. As a military wife herself, how could she not know how difficult it was to be one? "It's all my fault, sister-in-law. For now, you should spend more time with your partner. When you get married, bring your wife home with you. I'll make you something delicious then."
Ji Shaowen and Ning Zheng naturally knew what Ma Xiu Lian meant.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we will definitely come when the time comes. If the brigade wasn't building a breeding farm and they had to work on it together, we would have come together a long time ago."
Ji Shaowen and Ning Zheng were right. All the necessary procedures for building the farm were now complete. The brigade would definitely begin preliminary construction, and with all the work going on, Qiao Chuchu and Lin Xue wouldn't have time to come out.
The meal was finished in a lively atmosphere among several people.
After dinner, Jiang Zhengguo took Ji Shaowen and Ning Zheng back to the commune compound and approved the factory construction procedures. After seeing the procedures completed, Ji Shaowen and Ning Zheng returned to the brigade without stopping.
"Uncle, I've lived up to your expectations. All the formalities have been completed. As long as our team is ready, we can directly build the factory."
As soon as the two returned to the brigade, they went directly to the brigade leader's house and told him the news that the procedures had been completed.
"Good, good, well done. You are the benefactors of our brigade." Zhang Jianguo was very happy to know that the procedures had been completed.
"Uncle, this isn't entirely our fault. Today, when we went to the commune, we learned that the country is now strongly supporting the development of collective enterprises, so the establishment of this factory in our brigade is just in time."
Faced with Zhang Jianguo's enthusiasm, Ji Shaowen and Ning Zheng felt somewhat embarrassed. Although they had contributed to this matter, it was not enough to make the captain so grateful.
Zhang Jianguo was very satisfied looking at the two humble people.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Jianguo didn't keep the two people any longer and let them go back.
Ji Shaowen and Ning Zheng didn't stay at the captain's house for long; their vacation time was limited. With their return to the army imminent, they wanted to spend the rest of their time with their partners.
After the two left the captain's house, they went to their respective partners' homes.
At this time, after seeing the two off, Zhang Jianguo went directly to the brigade headquarters with the fresh and hot documents.
He didn't want to waste even a minute now, and he just wanted to get the farm business done quickly so he could make money as soon as possible.
"Old man, where are you going? It's time for dinner soon." Aunt Cuihua saw Zhang Jianguo going out and hurriedly shouted from behind.
"You guys eat first. I have something to do, so I'll go to the brigade headquarters first. You don't have to worry about me." Zhang Jianguo heard his wife's call, and without turning his head, he directly replied "you" and walked towards the brigade headquarters without stopping.
"You're back. Is everything going well?" Qiao Chuchu walked out of the house after hearing some noise at the door. Then she saw Ji Shaowen pushing the door open and asked hurriedly.
"Everything went smoothly. All the formalities have been completed. I sent it to Uncle Jianguo as soon as I got back." When Ji Shaowen heard Qiao Chuchu asking about this, he quickly answered.
"That's good. I was worried about the paperwork and how troublesome it would be. Now we just have to wait for the brigade to finish building the farm so we can bring in the chicks." Qiao Chuchu was very happy now. After all, this was her first career. Seeing that it was about to get on track, she was still very excited.
"Yeah, don't worry, you will be busy then, but no matter how busy you are, don't forget to write to me." Seeing Qiao Chuchu's excitement, Ji Shaowen hurriedly reminded her, fearing that the girl would be so busy that she would forget him.
