628 state-run farms cover 30,000 square kilometers of land and land of more than 400,000 square kilometers, which is a state-run farm combining planting and animal husbandry.

In the late 1960s, the farm was restructured to form the 12th Agricultural Construction Division of the People's Liberation Army, with two regiments and six battalions. Hao Shaodong was the commander of the third company of the first regiment, the second battalion, and the 12th Agricultural Construction Division.

At this time, the great liberation marched into the third company, Zhang Kai helped the company commander to unload the luggage package, and the hippie smiled and looked loyal, "Commander, I just didn't say the wrong thing, this review... Can you not write it? "

After that, go for it." Hao Shaodong also said casually, not ready to really punish him.

"Thank you Captain!" Zhang Kai saluted the military salute again, "Sister-in-law, your brother and your sister look really good."

He reached out and rubbed the head of the army, and wanted to touch Lingling's horn, but the little girl didn't give face, pouting and hiding behind, half of her body was hidden behind Chen Yeyun.

"She's afraid of life." Chen Yeyun took his sister's hand and squeezed her peacefully to explain to Zhang Kai.

"All right, hurry up and get your going, don't mess around here." Hao Shaodong gave orders, and Zhang Kailian hurriedly ran away.

Hao Shaodong now lives in the cadres' family compound, which is full of cadres above the company commander, and originally he lived alone in the tube building, and now he is taking his new daughter-in-law home.

Red brick walls, bluestone tiles, and large signboards in the family yard are hung high.

Each regiment on the farm had a family compound, and Hao Shaodong lived in the Red Flag compound. There are five Red Flag Family Courtyards, the innermost of which is a small courtyard inhabited by the brigade commander, regimental commander, and deputy regiment. Two rows to the outside are the tube building. The courtyard is planted with camphor trees, which are as thick as waists and evergreen, and are the brightest colors in winter.

In the courtyard of a tube building, several military sisters-in-law were sitting at a stone table choosing dishes, and each family in the cadre tube building had a small kitchen, and everyone bought their own vegetables and made their own dishes.

"Is Hao Lianchang really married?"

"I heard what our family said about taking the train to pick up people."

"I still wanted to introduce him to the audience, but it didn't take long for him to get married directly, and his movements were too sharp."

"Your cousin?" Hao Lianchang designated not to look at the eyes.

Several of them were military sisters-in-law who had been with the army for several years, and they were quite comfortable living here.

Zhao Xuemei, the daughter-in-law of the third company of the first battalion, originally wanted to introduce her cousin to Hao Shaodong, but she was returned as soon as she mentioned it to her own man, and the man asked her to worry less about this heart, but she was angry enough.

Sitting in the courtyard at this moment, she pulled the cabbage and said, "When Hao Lianchang comes back, let's take a closer look and see what his daughter-in-law looks like!" "What

else can it be?" Left and right, but two eyes and one mouth, is it difficult to grow a second mouth? Xin Qian, the daughter-in-law of a company of one battalion, said with a vegetable leaf.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha what you said, Xingxu people just don't look like us." Zhao Xuemei was sitting facing the entrance of the compound, and as soon as her voice fell, she saw Hao Shaodong enter the courtyard, and there seemed to be someone following behind her.

"Look at it! People are coming! Several military sisters-in-law were panicking in the courtyard every day, and it was exciting to see new people coming.

"Hao Lianchang! You're back. "

Captain Hao, what is this behind you?"

Several people greeted Hao Shaodong, their eyes unconsciously glancing behind him, and the meaning of the inside was obvious.

"Several sisters-in-law, this is my daughter-in-law Chen Yeyun, we just had a ceremony." Hao Shaodong rarely dealt with these military sisters-in-law on weekdays, and wanted to hurry up and introduce them to their homes.

"Oh, what a company's daughter-in-law, congratulations to you two!"

When Chen Yeyun first arrived, he was indifferent to the curious gaze, and after saying hello to several military sisters-in-law, he followed Hao Shaodong upstairs.

The cadre's family building has a total of three floors, each floor lives in three households, all of which are three-bedroom, and the place is still quite spacious, the leftmost part of the first floor is a public water room, and the rightmost is a public toilet.

Hao Shaodong's room was in the innermost part of the second floor. In the corridor, every house has a lot of things on the outside, briquette stoves, stacks of black paint briquettes, bamboo brooms on the wall, and melons and dustpans hanging on the walls.

Chen Yeyun followed all the way inside, and a small stool was set up at the door of a neighboring house next to him, on which a bamboo basket was placed on it and a basket of peeled and washed sweet potatoes.

Walking to the innermost house on the second floor, in front of Hao Shaodong's house, there was a stack of briquettes outside, nothing else, and the front of the house looked much more deserted than the other house.

Entering the house, Chen Yeyun glanced over, only to feel clean and tidy and empty.

The entrance is the living room, which has a square table, a low stand on the wall, and a small kitchen on the far left of a large two-small three-room room.

There are not many things in the house, and this small three-room room is particularly spacious.

"There are two small rooms in it, just one for the army and the girl." Hao Shaodong put things on the ground and carried the warm bottle to fetch water first.

When Hao Shaodong went out, Chen Yeyun led the two babies to pack their luggage, and the three of them put their clothes and things they had brought from home one by one, and suddenly filled in the empty house.

When the man stepped into the house with a warm bottle in his left hand and three rice boxes in his right hand, he was stunned for a moment.

A quick glance, a few more enamel cups on the table, a few clean towels, the parcel bag on the living room floor was packed up, there was a burst of laughter in the room, and there was a handful of brown rice skewers on the low bucket cabinet, yellow and clear.

Alone, he was a little uncomfortable.

"It's time to eat."

Listening to the sound, the army rushed out first, and the child's eyes lit up and he spoke urgently, "Brother-in-law, you are back!" Sister, Lingling, come out to eat.

Hao Shaodong went to the canteen after playing the water and returned after playing a few dishes.

It was still the first month of the canteen to eat quite a potent meal, he played a meat dish a vegetarian dish, cabbage hot pork slices, potato silk, plus corn flour kiln.

As soon as the lid of the meal box was opened, the aroma of a series of dishes came out, making Lingling's stomach grumble.

The child suddenly blushed, too ashamed to do it, hurriedly covered his stomach with his small hands, and bowed his head and refused to speak.

"What's this, why are you still ashamed?" Chen Yeyun broke his sister's head and pinched her little face.

The little girl whispered to her, and her eyes were indeed looking at Hao Shaodong. "Shame."

"He didn't hear it, I don't believe you asked yourself."

"Don't ~" Ling Ling hid behind her mouth and said milky milk.

"Lingling, I really didn't hear anything, come and eat, this dish is not delicious when it is cold."

Hao Shaodong took the initiative to break the siege, repeatedly assuring that he did not hear anything, and Ling Ling was willing to walk over to eat.

The chef in the canteen of the regiment was very good and the food was very fragrant, and the four of them eliminated all the dishes.

After dinner, Hao Shaodong packed up his lunch box and prepared to take it to the kitchen for washing, when Chen Yeyun stopped, "I'll come, you come back for a break after dinner." "

"It's all right, you play with both of your children, and I will flush this box in a few clicks."

Chen Yeyun thought about the people who had just come to the house, it was always difficult to throw up the palm of the cabinet, and just when he opened his mouth and prepared to say two more words, he was interrupted by the sudden rush out of the army.

"I'll go wash it!" The army Ma slipped from Hao Shaodong and took a few meal boxes and walked toward the kitchen.

The children of the Chen family did not have any support, of course, there was no such condition, the army did all the work. The handwashing table in the kitchen of the brother-in-law's house was a little high, so he carried a small wooden stool and put it on the ground and stepped on it, just right.

Listening to the sound of the kitchen cheering, the newlyweds outside looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

"Lingling, come in and play, I'll tell you a story!" The army roared outward with all his strength and succeeded in calling his sister in.

The little girl had thrown buds of rice in the living room, and she was suddenly called in by her brother and was a little unhappy.

"What did you pout for, forgetting what your uncle said?" The army lowered its voice and spoke.

It turned out that on the eve of Chen Yeyun and Hao Shaodong's marriage, Xu Xinhong called the two babies to him and specially ordered them.

She was worried that the daughter would be looked down upon by her in-laws and provoke suspicion by her in-laws when she married her younger brothers and sisters, so she deliberately let the two wives be sensible here. Coupled with the fact that the young two have just married, it is the right thing to grasp each other, she is afraid that Chen Yeyun will circle around the two children every day, ignoring her own man, and the gap with life, so she let Dajun and Lingling give the two people some space, don't stick to the big sister every day.

How many people are embarrassed to marry out with their brothers and sisters, Xu Xinhong does not want to see this happen to his family.

The army promised to be very loud at that time, and it was only on the first day that it began to put into action.

"I remember." Ling Ling nodded, and she couldn't lose to her brother.

When they finished washing the dishes, the two men walked out of the kitchen and shouted that they were sleepy and wanted to sleep.

It was more than seven o'clock, and there was still an hour before the two of them usually went to bed, Chen Yeyun was only too tired to run all the way, watching the two of them go back to the house to lie down, and tuck them into the corner before they came out.

The living room was very quiet, Hao Shaodong was reading documents at the table, and the sound of her walking was very light, but it also attracted the attention of men.

"Two babies sleeping?"

"Well, they're all asleep." Chen Yeyun had just arrived, and she didn't have the knowledge and calmness of her own home, and she couldn't find anything to talk to people, so she pondered for a moment before she spoke, "Hao Lianchang, I'm also a little sleepy, so I went back to the house first."
Hao Shaodong,
who was busy reading the farm construction documents, heard a sentence at home that Hao Lianchang was still a little shaken, but he nodded his head without showing it.
