Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 166 Gossip
Tang Qiuyue slept until about three in the afternoon when she was woken up by hunger.

Rubbing his swollen forehead, Tang Qiyue glanced to his side, but did not see Zhan Zeye. He guessed that he must have gone to the military camp.

Sure enough, when I got up, I saw the note left by Zhan Zeye on the table.

After putting the note away, Tang Qiyue went outside to wash her face and picked a cucumber to quench her thirst.

Cucumbers have recently entered their peak harvest period, and there are many cucumbers available for picking every day.

Tang Qiuyue walked around and filled the basket beside the vegetable garden, but found that the basket was full.

She saw Xu Qiuju from next door appear, so she called her over to get some.

"That's great! Why don't I have so many cucumbers to pick?"

Xu Qiuju muttered and took a look. They were all seedlings transplanted from Tang Qiyue, and the planting method was the same. How could it be that hers were not working?
When Tang Qiyue's vegetable garden was in the process of harvesting, a cucumber bud had just grown in Xu Qiuju's garden.

"I'll just need five, just one for each person!"

Xu Qiuju was not greedy. Tang Qiyue picked the fruits every day anyway. Even if she didn't come to get them, Tang Qiyue would put them along the fence in her house.

Passing the cucumber to Xu Qiuju, Tang Qiyue sniffed and smelled all kinds of meaty smells in the air: "Is it getting fat?"

When this matter was mentioned, Xu Qiuju nodded vigorously.

"You don't know how lively it is today, it's because you didn't go there. If you had gone there, you would have seen it!"

Xu Qiuju pulled out the thorns from the cucumber and started eating it directly.

Anyway, cucumbers are very clean. Besides, it’s neither meal time nor rest time at this time, so chewing a cucumber is just the right way to kill time.

Tang Qiuyue asked Xu Qiuju to elaborate.

She carried the cucumbers and placed them on the table in the yard, then went directly to the kitchen to bring out the food and placed it in the yard.

She had just woken up and was still hungry.

To save time, he just ate the buns directly, so he didn't miss the chance to listen to Xu Qiuju's gossip.

"We said today that we can bring our food ration books to get food and meat. We have quotas here in the family compound, so it's pretty good. No one is causing trouble. But the family compound at the research institute is not like that!"

Through Xu Qiuju's narration, Tang Qiyue realized that because there were so many things distributed this time, and they were flour and pork, many people were thinking about it.

In other words, Tang Qiuyue got enough meat this time, and there were few people on the island, so apart from those in the military camp, everyone else was counted based on the amount of hair.

However, there are discrepancies in the quota. Although the family compound has a food ration book, many times on the island we have to follow the island's rules. We just receive the amount that our uncle has determined.

But it's different at the research institute, because some people have different food relationships, some have more, some have less, so they will distribute the food according to their food capacity. Generally, it doesn't come from the canteen, but rather from Sister Zheng and others.

It is far-fetched to say the least, as the research institute is not a military unit but an independent one, and it also has a person in charge of logistics.

Unfortunately, the person in charge was not very active. He usually didn't care about things, but was very active when distributing things.

As a result, the canteen refused to honor the grain distribution and a commotion broke out.

"You don't know, I saw some people get more than 20 kilograms of flour and 10 kilograms of meat. They felt they were at a disadvantage and insisted on paying according to the grain book!"

Xu Qiuju clicked her tongue twice: "They are so arrogant in our territory. I don't know who gave them the courage. They were directly rebuked by Political Commissar Wu!"

Originally, this matter could have been resolved if Political Commissar Wu had stepped in, but the people at the institute were not happy when they saw the meat. The commotion was so bad that the head of the institute was called in to judge the matter.

The head of the research institute was busy dealing with the weapons that Zhan Zeye had taken over, so he had no time to take care of this matter and directly asked the person in charge of personnel to go over.

The personnel director was also a seasoned man. He did not dare to offend the family members, so he wanted my uncle to compromise. But my uncle simply gave up and let Political Commissar Wu handle it.

Political Commissar Wu tried to reason with them, but a group of shameless people started making trouble just for the sake of meat and food.

"If he wasn't afraid of hurting someone, I think Political Commissar Wu would have used his gun!"

Xu Qiuju munched on the cucumber with a crunching sound, and became more and more excited as she spoke.

"After we finally resolved the issue, someone brought up the child that Sister Zheng adopted, saying that although the Tian family's child is an orphan, he is a family member of the institute and his food supply is also with the institute, so he must be taken away!"

At this point, Xu Qiuju spat: "Bah, those guys only want food, not people. They also said that as the wife of the People's Liberation Army, Sister Zheng should continue to take care of the Tian family's child!"

Tang Qiyue felt like she was about to explode when she heard this.

It is also possible.

He really has no shame at all.

Political Commissar Wu didn't know what to say about this matter. It was the other two sisters in Sister Zheng's office who got angry and directly cursed those shameless ancestors of the institute, and finally made them shut up.

"I've learned a lot. How shameless can these educated people be? They say they are educated people and don't need to waste their brains to do things, so they should get more food. They also say that the families of us soldiers are a bunch of idiots and it's a waste of food to eat so much!"

Xu Qiuju was probably also stimulated by these words and became more and more excited as she spoke.

Tang Qiyue handed her a fresh cucumber at the right time.

Eat something to cool down your internal heat.

Xu Qiuju really needed something to cool down her internal heat, so she started to chew the cucumber again.

"If you ask me, those people are just spoiled. The ones who are capable are the researchers, not their family members. How can they be so shameless? They come to the island and complain that our conditions are not good, saying that life in the city is not as comfortable!"

"Why did you come with me if you have so many complaints? Isn't it good to be in the city? Do you think I don't know what the situation is in the city? Can they eat enough in the city?"

After eating four buns, Tang Qiuyue felt full and started to eat a cucumber.

The greasy meat buns really need a refreshing and refreshing taste like cucumber to weigh them down.

"Didn't we agree that each person would get five catties of flour and five catties of pork? I don't think the uncles will indulge them, right?"

Tang Qiyue still remembers what her uncle and the others said.

Xu Qiuju nodded: "Yes, what's the big deal? It's not divided by household, but by person. This amount doesn't sound like much, but my family got 25 kilograms of flour and 25 kilograms of pork!"

There is so much meat that even if you eat as much as you want, it will last you for a while.

White flour is not good enough, it is definitely not enough to eat.

One pound of white flour a day is just right for adults, and children may need less. However, the children in Xu Qiuju's family are all growing up, so their appetite is terrifying.

After listening to Xu Qiuju's calculation, Tang Qiuyue felt a little regretful that she had used less flour.

"But who would be willing to eat only white flour? It's better to mix it with cornmeal, which is enough!"
