Chapter 1483: Can You Lend Me Some Money?

Liu Chuxue stepped aside: "I did plant some. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"We heard the seedlings you planted a few days ago have already sprouted. If possible, we would indeed like to observe them."

Liu Chuxue extended her hand in a 'please' gesture: "Of course."

However, since she was the only woman in the household, she shouted to Sister Tang, who was standing not far away talking to someone: "Sister Tang, come here. I need your help with something."

As soon as she said this, the few people at the gate realized they had been too hasty and a bit rash today.

But since it concerned the soldiers' meals, they could only pretend not to understand.

Once Sister Tang arrived, the sister who had been speaking with her followed along.

The two followed them into the courtyard.

Sister Tang smiled: "What is it? Speak."

Liu Chuxue pointed to the several comrades from logistics: "I'll first take the logistics comrades inside to see the vegetable seedlings I planted. I'll tell you later."

Sister Tang also knew Liu Chuxue was growing vegetables in the house: "By the way, I only saw them when they first sprouted. What do they look like now?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Let's go take a look together. In a few days, they'll be ready to pinch off and eat."

Hearing this, Sister Tang said: "Really?"

Liu Chuxue led the few people into the house.

Their faces were full of surprise, and the sister who had come in with Sister Tang even cried out: "Oh my heavens, you really grew them!"

The several comrades from logistics had faces full of excitement.

They circled the wooden boxes, looking up and down for quite a while, and then asked Liu Chuxue many questions.

Seeing it was about enough, Liu Chuxue lightly coughed and mentioned: "Our unit has its own small farm. If you are willing, you can try planting some too."

One of the comrades frowned, his brows forming a 'chuan' character: "How could there be empty rooms in the farm? Even if there were, there's no kang bed-head. And isn't it too late to start now?"

Liu Chuxue, however, calmly brought up the matter of the greenhouses to them.

Those logistics personnel listened very seriously.

Seeing they had taken it in, Liu Chuxue said: "I once accidentally heard someone mention that the Little Red Gate Commune has those plastic greenhouses. If you are interested, you might as well find an opportunity to go inspect them."

Hearing this, those comrades exchanged a glance, their faces full of determination.

Before, they had indeed heard people mention that some places could grow off-season vegetables in winter, but they always felt that matter was too distant. Yet after seeing the leafy greens Liu Chuxue had grown, they immediately gained confidence.

If this matter were truly accomplished, it would not only make the soldiers' meals richer but could also become unique among the garrisoned units near the capital suburbs. Anyway, the farm's land is idle in winter, so why not give it a try?

After they left, Liu Chuxue couldn't help but have a new thought: Yes, the unit has its own farm. If they opened a pickled vegetable, kimchi, or small workshop, would there be a future for it?

Meanwhile, Fu Yan Cheng had encountered a bit of trouble. He had just finished his business in the city when someone blocked his path.

Once he saw clearly who was blocking the way, he said: "Ding Runlan, what are you blocking me for?"

Ding Runlan looked left and right, then clasped her hands together and said: "Fu Yan Cheng, can you lend me some money?"

Hearing this, Fu Yan Cheng immediately stepped back: "What do you need the money for? And how could you possibly be short of money?"

Ding Runlan was somewhat anxious and also nervous: "Yan Cheng, I really have an urgent need. Can you stop asking? Please help me, considering our past relationship."

Fu Yan Cheng, however, calmly stepped back another step. Mainly because this person was too scheming; he could not be less guarded: "My money is with my wife. I can't help you. You should find someone else."
