His predecessor failed

Chapter 134 Return to the Red Star Brigade

Su Zhuzhu didn't know what happened. She was sleeping soundly. When she woke up from the bumps, she found that the car was moving. She quickly got up and saw that the rain outside had lightened up a lot. They were on the road now, but the road was more difficult to drive on after the heavy rain. From time to time, the wheels fell into the potholes, and the people in the car were bumped. This is how she woke up from the bumps.

Zhu Ye also discovered that

"Wake up. Do you want to sit in the front? It will be better if it is less bumpy."

Su Zhuzhu did not refuse, but asked Zhu Ye not to stop the car. The military jeep was very spacious, and she was petite, so she climbed directly from the back seat to the front, sat down and fastened her seat belt.

"How long have you been gone? Why didn't you call me?"

"You're sleeping soundly. Besides, why would I ask you to do anything? You don't have to drive. Just take a good rest after hitting your head. We just set out less than 20 minutes ago and you woke up. We're still far from the Red Star Brigade. With the current road conditions, we probably won't be able to make it in time for lunch."

Su Zhuzhu was silent for a moment, secretly complaining in her heart, what a tiring day it was. It was not this tiring even when she first went to the Red Star Brigade when she first came to the countryside.

In this way, the car was moving hard on the bumpy road. Su Zhuzhu felt that her heart was about to jump out. She was dizzy and could only hold on to the handrail tightly. In case she accidentally hit her head and got injured, she would really go to the hospital.

Seeing that the girl next to him was quite nervous, Zhu Ye started chatting with Su Zhuzhu. They first talked about some common things, such as Mr. Zhu's surgery and Su Zhuzhu's life in the countryside. The atmosphere was pretty good.

Even the homepage couldn't help but ask about He Qiaojin.

Su Zhuzhu thought that she could just talk about it, there was nothing to be shy about, saying more would make Zhu Ye give up sooner, it was not a good idea to steal a comrade's girl.

All we can say is that Su Zhuzhu is naive. Old Zhu was a person who had poached girls in the past, and he warned his grandson in person, fearing that Zhu Ye would let go of such a good girl for the sake of his face. What's the big deal about poaching girls?

As they chatted, Zhu Ye was actually quite envious of He Qiaojin, whose family had arranged such a good marriage for her and brought her home to him at such an early age. He originally regretted meeting Su Zhuzhu too late, but now it seemed that it would not have been earlier than the time they knew each other.

It's really bad!

Su Zhuzhu briefly talked about He Qiaojin's situation. She didn't know much about the military, and even if she knew, she wouldn't tell anyone about it casually. Even though the person she was chatting with was an officer in the military, she still had her principles.

The depressed Zhu Ye didn't want to listen to the story about Su Zhuzhu and her boyfriend anymore, so he turned to talk about Lin Wu. Lin Wu was his subordinate, so he had an advantage. He had originally planned to have a good chat with Lin Wu after returning, and take advantage of Lin Wu's presence to go to the Red Star Brigade to see Su Zhuzhu. This girl called Lin Wu "Brother Wu", so he would definitely treat Lin Wu as his brother-in-law first.

Speaking of Lin Wu, Su Zhuzhu talked even more. She asked Lin Wu in detail about how he was doing in the 624th Army. She didn't act like Lin Wu's sister at all, but more like Lin Wu's old mother. However, this made Zhu Ye extremely envious and jealous, because Su Zhuzhu didn't care about how he was doing in the army at all, because he didn't have the qualifications now.

After hearing what happened next, Zhu Ye wanted to vomit blood even more.

How come everything is related to Su Zhuzhu's boyfriend? Even Lin Wu, who grew up with Su Zhuzhu's boyfriend. After all this time, it seems that Lin Wu and Su Zhuzhu know each other because of Su Zhuzhu's boyfriend.

However, Lin Wu is under his command now, so he still needs to have more contact with Lin Wu, and it would be best if he could recruit Lin Wu to his side. Although he knew Su Zhuzhu later than He Qiaojin, it would be a pleasure to think about recruiting Lin Wu.

The two of them chatted with each other about some topics of interest, just like old friends who had known each other for a long time. Before they knew it, the car passed by a small stream. Both sides of the stream were paved with pebbles and a few large flat stones. The water level of the stream had risen a lot after the heavy rain just now.

Su Zhuzhu looked at the time and it was almost twelve o'clock. Since it was not raining, she asked Zhu Ye to stop the car. She planned to take a rest and eat something before leaving. After a whole morning of hard work, she was already tired.

Zhu Ye slowed down obediently, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car into the pebbles beside the stream. After getting out of the car, he took out two military folding stools from the trunk. They were simple forks covered with a piece of military green hard cloth. This kind of small chair was very common in this era and very practical.

Zhu Ye put down the bench and let Su Zhuzhu sit down to rest, then walked towards the stream to see if he could find anything to eat. He had not expected to be delayed on the road for so long in the morning, and had not prepared anything to eat. However, in this kind of weather, and after a heavy rain, it was not easy to find food.

After Zhu Ye walked away, Su Zhuzhu took out the luggage bag and pretended to look for something, but she was actually taking food out of the space.

It was not a good idea to take too much. The journey was less than half a day, so normally one would not prepare much food. In this era, one could not take anything that was not available. So Su Zhuzhu took a pot of water, a few steamed buns, three or four tea eggs, a bottle of hot sauce, two apples and a handful of White Rabbit milk candies. Even these were a bit eye-catching, so while Zhu Ye had not come back yet, she quickly found a clean stone to put the things on, took the luggage bag back to the car and put it away, and moved the small stool over.

Zhu Ye walked around for a long time and showed no sign of coming back, so Su Zhuzhu didn't wait any longer. She sat down and started to eat lunch. Although the food outside was a bit simple, the food in front of her was something that many people rarely get to eat.

Break the steamed bun in half vertically, add a spoonful of chili sauce and spread it evenly, then pick it up. Although the white steamed bun is cold, it looks so beautiful and attractive with the bright red chili sauce. Moreover, Su Zhuzhu had added minced beef to the chili sauce in advance, so Su Zhuzhu started to eat it.

When Zhu Ye had to face reality and give up looking for food, he turned around and saw the girl sitting on a small stool, eating a big steamed bun happily.

Zhu Ye gritted his teeth, then walked back.

"Zhuzhu, you were enjoying your meal so much that you didn't even call me. I was still looking for food everywhere."

Su Zhuzhu looked up at Zhu Ye. Hmm, he came back with bare hands, which looked quite pitiful.

"You seem to be very focused. Did you find anything good? Besides, I've saved the food for you. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. I have more in my bag after you finish eating. I brought a big bag of steamed buns."

Following Su Zhuzhu's example, Zhu Ye also put hot sauce on the steamed bun and took a bite. Mmm, it was delicious! He had never thought that steamed buns were so delicious.

"This hot sauce tastes different from the one purchased by the troops. It's more fragrant and delicious."

"I fried this myself and added meat to it. If you like it, I'll give you two bottles to take back to the army later."

Zhu Ye accepted it without any hesitation. This was the first time Su Zhuzhu gave him a gift. He didn't know whether he should eat it or not. If he didn't eat it, it would be a waste if it went bad. But if he ate it, he felt that this hot sauce was of great significance and should not be eaten like this.

Su Zhuzhu ignored the man who was struggling with his inner struggle. After finishing a big steamed bun, she was no longer hungry, so she ate a tea egg.

Seeing that Zhu Ye was eating seriously and happily, Su Zhuzhu stood up and walked towards the stream along the path Zhu Ye had just walked. There were many surprises along the way.

First, there was a large area of ​​wild vegetables such as water celery and wild onions under the pebbles at the streamside. This was blocked because of the low terrain. Now that she had gotten closer, Su Zhuzhu was dazzled.

How could she let this go? She absolutely could not let this go. If she did, it would be her fault!

Su Zhuzhu ran back to the car without any delay, rummaged around, and magically found two woven bags. When she carried the two woven bags and ran towards the river, Zhu Ye was stunned. Were there any woven bags in the car? How come he didn't know about them? Moreover, he had never seen a woven bag of this style and color before. They were quite nice-looking.

What is this girl doing? Why is she so excited? There is nothing by the river except weeds, and not even a fish can be seen. Zhu Ye quickly ate the remaining food in a few bites, wiped his mouth, and followed her to the river.

From a distance, Zhu Ye saw a figure in a white shirt and black pants bending over and rummaging in the grass. He thought, he couldn't be here to pull weeds!

When he got closer, he saw that they were really pulling weeds, but they were pulled neatly. They didn't pull all kinds of weeds, only three or four kinds, and each kind was separated. Zhu Ye guessed that these should be some kind of wild vegetables. Unfortunately, he seldom came into contact with them, so it seemed that he missed them. This girl was probably too excited. She shouldn't be so happy even if she picked wild vegetables.

Zhu Ye didn't understand Su Zhuzhu's inner excitement at all. When she was a child in her previous life, she followed her elders to the countryside to pick wild vegetables. It was also possible that it was a rare and beautiful memory in her life in her previous life, and she had been obsessed with these wild vegetables ever since.

Su Zhuzhu picked the tender water celery, but she couldn't pick enough, really couldn't pick enough. After picking one, the next one would be fatter. Soon, a woven bag was filled with neatly arranged water celery. She looked at the remaining large pieces of water celery reluctantly, feeling that it was a waste of resources.

However, Su Zhuzhu did not plan to continue picking wild celery. She had to keep a woven bag to store wild onions. Wild onions were more popular with her than water celery. There were so many delicious things that could be made from them.

Su Zhuzhu sadly discovered that it was very unrealistic to pull the wild onions with her bare hands. All of them broke off. After pulling for a long time, she only pulled out a bunch of broken leaves. The really delicious wild onion heads were still buried in the ground and could not be pulled out. So she could only ask Zhu Ye for help.

"Captain Zhu, do you have a shovel in your car? Can you bring it over for me to borrow?"

Su Zhuzhu asked the right person. There was indeed a military shovel in the military jeep, which was used to dig wild onions, which was a bit like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.

But Zhu Ye didn't care about that. When Su Zhuzhu asked him to, he immediately ran back to get it. After getting it back, he didn't let Su Zhuzhu do anything and started digging according to the place Su Zhuzhu pointed.

Men are good at physical work. It was difficult for Su Zhuzhu to pull up the wild onions, but Zhu Ye turned over the soil in just a few strokes. It didn't look like it was difficult at all.

Su Zhuzhu gave Zhu Ye a thumbs up and began to organize the wild onions, tying them up and throwing them into a woven bag. The two of them, one digging and the other picking them up, cooperated very well and picked them faster than picking water celery, filling the bag.

Su Zhuzhu looked at the large field of wild vegetables in front of her with regret, feeling it was a pity that she couldn't take them all away.

Seeing the girl's expression as if she had missed a mountain of gold, Zhu Ye was speechless. What's the big deal about just a piece of wild vegetables? He didn't know it before, but now he knows that these are all wild vegetables and they are edible. They are everywhere in the mountains and you can't eat them all. There's no need to be so reluctant to give them up.

Although he was complaining in his heart, he obediently carried two bags of wild vegetables and put them in the car. He then found two buckets from the trunk and handed them to Su Zhuzhu, motioning her to continue.

Just think of it as a way to coax the girl.

Su Zhuzhu ignored Zhu Ye's helpless expression. Zhu Ye couldn't understand her happiness and didn't force her. She hoped that he wouldn't be too excited when eating.

Su Zhuzhu used these two buckets to store wild onions. Water celery is not long-lasting, so just use enough for a few meals and give half of it to the educated youths' kitchen. As for the wild onions, there are many ways to cook them, and they are the most delicious and long-lasting. So Su Zhuzhu instructed Zhu Ye to dig them quickly so that she could put them into the buckets.

I originally wanted to use the water from the stream to wash the muddy wild onions first, but the stream was rushing, and I didn’t want to dirty Zhu Ye’s car, so I decided to wash them after I got home.

Soon, the two of them dug two full buckets. Zhu Ye was afraid that Su Zhuzhu's addiction to digging wild vegetables would come back, so he told her to wait a while while she was sitting down to rest. After that, he picked up the military shovel and walked to the stream. He dug a shovel of mud, which he could not take back unless he washed it clean.

Unexpectedly, before I reached the stream, I saw a big fish head rising and falling in the grass by the water. It seemed exhausted and was trying hard to keep its balance so as not to be washed away by the rushing stream.

Without any hesitation, Zhu Ye approached the bushes with light footsteps, raised the shovel in his hand and hit the big fish head.

With a "puff!" sound, a large amount of water splashed on the surface of the water. With the speed and force that Zhu Ye slapped down, he himself could not avoid the splashes created by himself and was directly drenched all over his head and face.

He reached out to wipe his face, without having time to clean himself up, he rummaged in the grass for a while, luckily, the fish was still there.

The fish, whose head was dented by the slap, was no longer alive and was flicking its tail slightly in the grass.

At this time, Su Zhuzhu also heard the noise and followed over. Before she could see Zhu Ye's miserable state, she saw the fish in the bushes.

"What a big grass carp! Captain Zhu, hurry up and catch the fish! Don't let it get washed away! I've already thought about how to eat it tonight!"

Zhu Ye grinned as he listened to Su Zhuzhu's childish words. He used the shovel in his left hand to block the big grass carp, and reached out his right hand to grab the mouth of the big grass carp. Then he lifted it up with force, and the whole body of the fish was pulled out of the water.
