Start as a Instructor and Build the Strongest Special Forces

Chapter 16: Going to the Countryside, Hiring Someone to Catch Worms (Part 1)

Under the gazes of Lord Shen Yang and his granddaughter, Chen Ming said slowly, “Commissar A, I plan to marry Xiaoxue, but not recently, I am now the commander of the special forces, and I am very busy with all kinds of things. , Let’s talk about marriage when I have time to set up the special forces!”

After Shen Xue heard that Chen Ming said that he planned to marry her, the sweetness in her heart almost melted, and she looked at Chen Ming with affection in her eyes.

As for the postponement of the marriage, she can fully accept it.

In her opinion, Chen Ming is in a period of rising career, and suddenly getting married at this time will affect Chen Ming’s work.

When Chen Ming’s career stabilizes, it will not be too late to get married.

Moreover, although she and Chen Ming are in love with each other, this is the second time they have met, and it is not very good if the progress is too fast.

After hearing Chen Ming’s answer, Shen Yang was also very satisfied, and said with a strong smile: “I was in a hurry to get the two of you married. You are really busy right now, and you can’t find time. Then you and Xiaoxue will spend another time together. Time, when you bring out the special forces, let’s talk about marriage.”

Hearing Shen Yang’s words, Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Xue was indeed the best wife in his mind.

She is the granddaughter of a political committee member. Like his family, she has been in the army for three generations, and she is a perfect match.

And Shen Xue has a good personality, quiet and gentle, virtuous and sensible.

The most important thing is to look beautiful, although it is said that the dress is a little simple, but after all, he was born in the family of a senior cadre, and does not need to be exposed to the wind and rain outside. The skin is fair and tender, and the figure is good.

But even so, Chen Ming still intends to delay the marriage.

He is not yet mentally prepared. As a person who has crossed over 30 years later, his mind is not as simple as that of people of this era, and it is easy to think too much.

As the saying goes – marriage is the grave of love.

Chen Ming planned to fall in love with Shen Xue for a period of time, spend a period of pre-marital life, and then get married.

There were many thoughts in my mind, while thinking about these things, I was drinking porridge. After a while, a bowl of porridge was drank by Chen Ming.

“Brother Ming, do you want another bowl for you!” Shen Xue came over and asked.

“No, I’m full!” Chen Ming smiled, “Let’s go out!”

“Okay!”

“Committee A, then I’ll take Shen Xue out for a walk first!” Chen Ming and Shen Yang greeted each other.

“Go on, have fun!” Shen Yang smiled and waved.

Chen Ming nodded and took Shen Xue out of the house.

“Brother Ming, where are we going?” Shen Xue turned her head and looked at Chen Ming curiously.

“It’s autumn now, and all kinds of loaches and eels in the paddy fields and ditches are enjoying themselves. I’ll take you to the countryside to grab some and come back to make soup!” Chen Ming replied.

“Can the loach and yellow eel be eaten?” Shen Xue wondered.

“You haven’t eaten?” Chen Ming was a little surprised.

Shen Xue shook her head.

Her family has a lot of chicken, duck, fish, and meat since she was a child. After all, she is a senior cadre family and eats commercial grains. Meat is also available every day.

But she had never eaten something like the eel and loach that made holes in places like paddy fields and ditches.

Chen Ming raised his eyebrows and said, “Since you haven’t tried it, I’ll let you try it today. Although these things have many bones and not much meat, they are definitely more fresh for making soup than fish soup.”

A touch of novelty suddenly appeared in Shen Xue’s eyes, eager to know what the eel and loach that Chen Ming was talking about looked like.

“Get in the car!” Chen Ming boarded the jeep when he arrived and stretched out his hand towards Shen Xue.

Shen Xue put her fair little hand in Chen Ming’s palm, Chen Ming squeezed it lightly, and pulled her into the car.

Shen Xue sat on the co-pilot, her hands still had the temperature of Chen Ming’s palm, and her face was a little blushing.

“Let’s go!” Chen Ming stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep started galloping away in the direction of the gate of the military district.

After leaving the army, Chen Ming found a loess road leading to the countryside and drove straight.

The road is very bumpy. It is no less than thirty years later when various cement roads have been built to various towns, and the jeep is driving on the loess road, shaking and shaking.

Fortunately, the chassis of the jeep is high, otherwise it may get stuck in the middle of driving.

After driving for nearly two hours, near noon, the two came to a rural ridge.

At a glance, large tracts of farmland are arranged in steps.

At the time of the autumn harvest, many farmers were wearing straw hats, rolled up their sleeves and trouser legs, bent over to cut rice with a sickle, and a large group of little kids were chasing and fighting on the rice fields that had been cut.

“Let’s get out of the car!” Chen Ming parked the car and walked out of the car with Shen Xue.

Shen Xue had never been to the countryside, but when she saw the open and distant scenery in the countryside, she couldn’t help but smile, “Brother Ming, the scenery here is so beautiful!”

Chen Ming said with deep conviction, “The countryside can always make my heart feel peaceful, and it is a good place to rest and relax!”

“Let’s go, let’s go and find a fellow villager to buy a bucket for the eels and loaches!”

While talking, Chen Ming took Shen Xue to a rice field.

“Hometown!” Chen Ming shouted cordially.

An uncle who was cutting rice straightened up and turned around to see Chen Ming in a military uniform. He was surprised and asked, “Comrade soldier, what’s the matter?

“Hometown, let’s grab some loach and yellow eel and go back to making soup. I want to buy a bucket from you!” Chen Ming explained his intention.

“I just brought a bucket here, and I’ll bring it to you now!” said the uncle, strode to the ridge, and brought a big red plastic bucket over.

After Chen Ming took the red bucket from the uncle, he took out a ten-yuan bill from the wallet in his pocket and handed it to the uncle: “Fellow, this is the money to buy the bucket!”

When the uncle saw such a large denomination, he immediately declined: “I can’t, I can’t, how much is a bucket worth!”

“Fellow, keep it!” Chen Ming stuffed the banknotes into the uncle’s pocket.

But the uncle was very stubborn, took out the money, put it back in Chen Ming’s palm, and said with a serious face: “You soldiers protect your family and protect the country, how can I take your money, if I take this money, my conscience will be hard! ”

Chen Ming had to take the money back, but with an idea, he took out a pack of Hongtashan soft cigarettes that had just been opened from his pocket and handed them to the uncle: “Fellow, since you don’t want to accept the money, then you have to accept this cigarette, otherwise I will I can’t handle it with my conscience!”

“That’s fine, I’ll take the cigarettes. If you have anything you want me to help with, just say it!” The uncle took the Hongtashan soft cigarette from Chen Ming’s hand, and rubbed it with his dark hand, cherishing it very much. put into the pocket.

He is also an old smoker, but he usually smokes dry cigarettes that cost a few cents a tael of shredded tobacco.

He only smoked this kind of packaged soft cigarettes once or twice, and they were issued when the village chief called the villagers for a meeting.

Although soft cigarettes are easy to smoke, the price is not cheap. It costs one or two yuan for a pack, and the uncle is not willing to buy them at all.

“Xiaoxue, let’s go, let’s catch the loach and the eel!” Chen Ming carried the red bucket and took Xiaoxue to a wet ridge. After searching, he found several eel holes.

He filled some water in the ditch beside the ridge with a red bucket and poured it into the eel hole.

After a while, several choking eels came out of the hole in panic.

Xiaoxue took a step back in fear when she saw the slippery eel, “Brother Ming, snake!”

“It’s not a snake, it’s an eel!” Chen Ming picked up the eel with a smile, and the eel was still struggling in his hands.

He casually threw the eel into the bucket.

People in the countryside don’t like to eat things like eel and loach, because they have less meat and are expensive to make.

Moreover, the environment in this era has not been polluted by pesticides, and all kinds of loach, yellow eel and frog in the field are almost flooding.

In a short while, Chen Ming caught a dozen or so.

Xiaoxue was a little scared at first, but at the encouragement of Chen Ming, she also rolled up her sleeves and caught the eel together.

When she caught the first one, the eel slipped and ran away from her hands.

But after being proficient, the girl is ingenious, grabbing the eel and loach, almost a hit.

The two were busy and enjoying themselves. The children who were running around in the fields not far away gathered around curiously, looking at Chen Ming curiously.

Chen Ming was wearing a military uniform and looked very handsome.

These children were seeing soldiers for the first time and kept looking straight at Chen Ming.

Surrounded by these little kids, Chen Ming suddenly turned around and asked them, “Do you want to make money?”

The children looked at each other, a little puzzled, but nodded anyway.

“Then you go and help me catch some caterpillars, grasshoppers, autumn cicadas and earthworms and come back. I’ll give you three cents for each, and I’ll charge as much as I have!” Chen Ming said.

When the children heard Chen Ming’s words, their eyes widened.

Three cents can buy three popsicles.

Their children like to catch bugs and play, and catching bugs is not a problem for them at all.

“Do you really collect bugs?” a child king asked suspiciously.

“Of course!” Chen Ming took out a five-dollar bill from his wallet and handed it to Kid Wang, “This is the deposit for you!”

A group of children stared at the money, their eyes widened.

For five dollars, you can buy a whole 500 popsicles!

The child king took the money with a trembling palm, and then said, “Okay, let’s go grab it now!”

He carefully put away the money and waved at the children, “Follow me!”

So, a group of arrogant children rushed to catch insects.

Shen Xue next to him wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and asked suspiciously, “Brother Ming, what’s the use of you asking for bugs?”

Chen Ming smiled strangely and replied, “It’s very useful in special forces training!”*
