Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

The weather suddenly turned cold, and some snowflakes drifted down from the mountains.

However, the snowflakes weren't very big.

The three of them first went to the granary to store some grain.

Because Xia Weiwei brought so much rice, it filled all the granaries built by the landlord.

Even many underground grain cellars that were previously just for backup have started to be filled with bags of rice.

Deputy Division Commander Xu said, "The temperature has dropped now, and there's less humidity in northern winters, so there's not much to worry about mold!"

"I'm not too worried about the grain in the granaries, but I still need to be careful about the grain in these cellars."

Commander Liu said, "After all, the ground is damp. We'll make arrangements for it tomorrow. They'll first raise the cellar with wooden planks, and then put wooden planks on all the surrounding walls to separate them. This will prevent the ground from getting damp."

"Also, when they take the grain, take the grain from the cellars first, and then take the grain from the granary."

Deputy Division Commander Xu nodded and said, "Yes, I will remind them about this."

"As storage space gets larger in the future, I think we can build some granaries so that there will be room to store the grain in the future."

Commander Liu agreed: "You're right, we can indeed build more granaries now."

As for the salt, it's completely vacuum-packed in plastic, so it's not afraid of moisture and can be stored anywhere.

Xia Weiwei reminded, "Sir, this salt has information such as the production date and production site on it. Please pay attention when using it."

"Don't worry, we have dedicated departments for the management, transportation, and use of this!"

Deputy Division Commander Xu patted his chest and assured him.

To prevent the source of these supplies from being discovered, they specifically recruited illiterate farmers to form a team.

The team's task was to guard, transport, and use these supplies.

During the Republican era, the most common problem in mountainous rural areas was illiteracy—people who couldn't read a single character.

Regardless of which division, brigade, or regiment they belonged to, all their supplies relied on these people for transportation.

The information on those cans is usually removed by having the words rubbed off.

Because the soldiers would keep the metal cans that came with the food.

Those who have information on the plastic bags must bring the bags back and burn them in a centralized manner. They are not allowed to take them home, and not a single one can be missing.

Anyone who dares to secretly take supplies out will be dealt with according to military law.

It is the existence of this department that ensures the security of material information.

……

Ma Hongwei returned to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhang Aiying asked, "Son, has Weiwei gone back?"

"what!"

Ma Hongwei casually remarked, "She said she was going back for a few days."

"Why did you suddenly go back?"

Zhang Aiying said, "Don't you feel uncomfortable having so many people living in our house?"

"If that's the case, then Mom will take Mingming and the other child back to the city."

No, not at all.

Ma Hongwei quickly explained, "They need to work too!"

"I'd completely forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it!"

Zhang Aiying asked, "Where does Weiwei work?"

"They own their own company, so of course they work from home!"

Ma Hongwei said casually.

Although Xia Weiwei belonged to the Eighth Route Army, she couldn't tell her mother this.

"They run their own company!"

Zhang Aiying sighed, "With such great qualities, can you two really end up together?"

Although his son's novel copyright sold for millions, it was still far less than what those capitalists made.

After all, 100 million isn't considered a lot of money these days.

"Mom, don't worry about that!"

Ma Hongwei said with a smile, "Weiwei and I are truly in love. She's not one of those gold diggers who only care about demanding a dowry!"

"Vivi is a good girl, but what about her family?"

Zhang Aiying said, "Although we live in a new society, the concept of 'marrying someone of equal social standing' still exists. Do you think her family would respect our family?"

"Mom, don't worry about that!"

Ma Hongwei patted his chest and assured him, "That won't happen."

Regardless of the fact that he and Xia Weiwei were deeply in love, Xia Weiwei was also a person with her own opinions.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to run away from home and go to northern Shaanxi with her classmates.

Moreover, given his importance, those leaders wouldn't allow Xia Weiwei's family to cause trouble.

Besides, he and Xia Weiwei are able to transport supplies from here to there; even a small leak would be enough for the Xia family to make a fortune.

There's chaos and turmoil over there right now, and we don't know when the enemy will be able to find us!

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

It was time for Xia Weiwei to go back again.

These past few days, Commander Liu and others have been busy with the division of the base area and have been in meetings, so they haven't come to see her off.

Anyway, the time travel happens indoors, so there's no need to worry about safety issues.

After her application was approved, Xia Weiwei stepped into the ripples of time and space and disappeared into the house.

the other side.

In the warehouse.

Looking at Xia Weiwei, who was bundled up tightly, Ma Hongwei couldn't help but ask, "Why are you wearing so many clothes?"

Xia Weiwei said, "The weather over there is getting colder and colder, and it's even started snowing these past two days, although it's not snowing heavily."

"Is it snowing over there?"

Ma Hongwei was taken aback: "It's unbearably hot here."

"I'll go change my clothes first!"

As Xia Weiwei spoke, she quickly ran to change her clothes.

She's wearing so many layers now, she's sweating from the heat.

After changing her clothes, Xia Weiwei said to Ma Hongwei, "Hongwei, the Kuomintang and Yan Xishan have been dragging their feet on providing the Eighth Route Army with enough cotton uniforms, so the commander needs us to purchase some from here, at least 12000 sets. Is it possible to buy them? Or will they have to be made to order?"

Since it's summer, Xia Weiwei figured those factories probably wouldn't be producing anything.

Ma Hongwei nodded and said, "We can buy it, we definitely can."

"Isn't it summer now? How can we buy them in advance?"

Xia Weiwei expressed her doubts.

"Yes."

Ma Hongwei nodded and said, "E-commerce platforms like JD.com, Pinduoduo, and Taobao sell down jackets, military coats, thick cotton-padded clothes, and warm clothing all year round. There is no issue of them taking them off the shelves in the summer."

"Moreover, those brand stores will have old winter clothes in stock, and they will also have them discounted and cleared out in the summer."

"Another example is the clothing industry in our later generations, which needs to start launching new products six months in advance. During this period, they have already begun producing new winter clothing."

"There are some specialty stores that sell winter clothes out of season in the summer, all at discounted prices, and quite a few people buy them to save money."

"In other words, if we buy now, the price will be even cheaper than in winter."

"Of course, if it needs to be custom-made, then the price can't be reduced."

Upon hearing Ma Hongwei's words, Xia Weiwei exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful!"

If they could get cotton-padded clothes, then the Eighth Route Army wouldn't have to worry about freezing in the winter.
