Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 22

When the commissioner woke up from his sleep, it was already noon when he opened his eyes. The mahjong fight yesterday was really late.

Suddenly, he thought of something. Mahjong, Qian, the Commissioner’s body fell back when he sat up. It’s over. He had actually lost all his military pay and private money. How could this be? This was impossible!

He also claimed that the King could not lose, and had never lost when playing mahjong. How could it be like this! When he thought back carefully, he realized Wu Anguo and that Song Yihan had repeatedly advised him not to fight anymore. That silly lass had also said that she had won all the way at mahjong, but he just didn’t believe it.

He was finished. If the commander knew about this, he would probably be able to pack up and return to his hometown. Thinking of this, he didn’t have the mood to sleep anymore, so he quickly got up and put on his clothes.

It was already lunchtime when he went out.

As usual, Xu Bao had a big smile on his face as he greeted everyone with a cheerful smile. Every time dinner time came, she was especially happy as she saw the commissioner come over and shouted, “Big Brother Wang, quickly come over! There’s beef for today! It’s very tasty! Braised beef, please come over quickly!”

The commissioner put on his glasses and returned to his refined expression. However, after seeing Xu Bao’s silly look, he didn’t dare to lower his guard. He simply nodded his head and found a seat furthest away from Xu Bao.

Wu Anguo also had an awkward look on his face. He had already said not to fight, not to fight. You had desperately tried to pull the girl to fight with you, but he didn’t even know how to deal with a loss like this.

After the meal, Xu Bao seriously asked the commissioner, “Big brother Wang, do you still want to play mahjong today? Do you want me to accompany you? ”

The commissioner’s expression changed when he heard the words. He quickly shook his head and said awkwardly, “No, no, I still have to do some tasks today. Next time, next time, hehe.”

Seeing that she had nothing to do with him, Xu Bao happily ran over to play, completely forgetting what he had done last night.

If it was an ordinary person, they would have forgone their debt and Wu Anguo would not have dared to ask for the money. But there was also Song Yihan, this person did not have any real power, but his reputation was widespread, and it was said that he was Mr. Sun’s favorite student. If he were to talk about this matter, then his future would be ruined.

He walked back and forth, not knowing how to start the conversation. At this point, Wu Anguo spoke up first, “Special Agent, just consider what happened last night as a joke. Can it be true?”

When the Commissioner heard this, he was so happy that he wanted to cheer, but when he saw Song Yinhan standing to the side, he could only bite the bullet and say, “No way, manly man! How can I go back on my word?”

At this point, Zhang Shiqing, Wu Anguo’s aide, opened his mouth to speak, “Sir Wang is truly an upright and straightforward person, no wonder the commander sent you here to pay. I have an idea here, I wonder if Sir Wang would like to hear it?”

Zhang Shiqing was an expert at deceiving others. Furthermore, he always acted like he was plotting something for the sake of others. The commissioner pricked up his ears and listened to Zhang Shiqing’s words. “Okay, okay.”

The next day, the payment strategy came out, requesting each group to participate in the military parade competition. They would get 80% for the best group and 20% for the remaining five groups.

The moment this news came out, it caused an uproar.

At this moment, the legions were all gathered together in a mess. They were still inspecting their troops and walking in a crooked manner. They didn’t train diligently during normal times, so they came to join the army just to get something to eat.

It was said that what the headquarters sent was different, something that could be tossed about. They even asked everyone to participate, making everyone even more worried. Many soldiers weren’t good enough, but if they didn’t go, then it would mean that they would have to eat and pay, and they would have to temporarily pull some strong men in as well.

Zhang Shiqing came up with this idea. He first promised 3,000 yuan to the commissioner, leaving the 10,000 yuan and the other military assets. According to the normal procedures of the military parade, if they did well in the sixth regiment and got the big head, if they did not do well, the sixth regiment would have nothing to say, and the commissioner would not have to feel guilty.

With the best of both worlds, the commissioner immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters, stating the competition proposal and receiving praise from the commander: “Yes, Little Wang is very serious.”

The commander did not easily praise the commissioner who had given him pleasure. Unexpectedly, he had been unintentionally praised by the commander.

Of course, they weren’t afraid of the Sixth Regiment having Song Yihan’s new style of training. However, Song Yihan was still a bit worried about the 50 people assigned to Bao`er. He didn’t know if they would make a fool of themselves.

The time was set for the day after tomorrow. When the special envoy lost his mind and got back his three thousand yuan, he was no longer as nervous as before. When he looked at Xu Bao’s silly look, he didn’t think it was that scary anymore.

Song Yihan and Li Zilong had called for a rehearsal of the entire team to train the fifty people. Surprisingly, when the fifty people were put into the team, they weren’t bad at all. When they first started running, the ones at the front were the fifty old, weak, and handicapped …

When Wu Anguo saw the surprised expressions on Song and Li’s faces, he asked, “What’s going on? Didn’t Shiqing say that we trained very well? Could there be a mistake? ”

Song Yihan shook his head. “It’s not a mistake. It’s, it’s an accident. Look, look at those dozens of people running in front of us …”

Wu Anguo looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, there were almost fifty of them. They were far ahead of the pack, and their stamina was plentiful. They also ran in a neat formation as they smiled and said, “That’s right, Han, this is your credit, right? Is that really powerful team you were talking about? “Good, very good!”

Hearing Wu Anguo’s words, Song Yi felt even more ashamed. He awkwardly said, “No, Captain, you’ve misunderstood. Those fifty people were the ones that were eliminated earlier. They were tossed to Bao`er to manage the group!”

Li Zilong was also extremely surprised. He had been surprised by Song Yihan’s way of training in the army, and those competitive incentives had made these soldiers very active, especially after the 50 soldiers were selected. The rest of the soldiers worked even harder, and no one dared to be lazy, or show any results. What was going on? Song Yihan’s latest international military training method actually resulted in less soldiers than the fifty people his sister-in-law brought along who were considered to be old, weak, and handicapped.

That night, Song Yihan was very embarrassed, but he had no choice but to lower his head. He deliberately asked Xu Bao for the reason, while the other three listened attentively.

When Xu Bao saw their serious faces, he had no idea what they were asking. What’s a soldier trainer? She didn’t understand at all. Every day, she would let those soldiers carry the cloth and carry the pigs. From here to there, she would run around and feed the meat. If she earned more, she would even give money.

Song Yi Han silently went back to cry. Suddenly, he discovered that whatever international training method he studied abroad was all bullshit. It would be worse than a simple twist from Bao`er. He was so sad …

Soon after was the military parade. Song Yi Han had no choice but to put away his sorrows and give the order seriously. After all, he had returned from studying abroad and had properly trained him. In addition, with Wu Anguo’s good management and the guarantee of food for the soldiers, compared to the other regiments, the advantage was evident.

As a result, under the jealous gazes of the others, the sixth regiment received 8,000 Yuan in military pay and most of their firearms and clothing, becoming a veritable large regiment.

No matter how unwilling the other regiment was, they had nothing to say, because the commissioner was still here.

By the time the commissioner returned, he had gotten to know Xu Bao very well. He even told Xu Bao that when he was free to go to the headquarters, he would be sure to receive him.

Xu Bao said it dumbly. “I promise I will go.”

After the commissioner left, the regiment leaders returned to peace. After seeing the sixth regiment’s strength, even though the other regiment members were jealous, they did not dare try to snatch it. Perhaps they were just waiting for an opportunity.

Xu Bao, on the other hand, was preoccupied with the red-braised beef jerky the day the Commissioner was present. It was really delicious, even better than pork. It was soft and fragrant, smooth and refreshing, as well as chewy.

Now that the Sixth Regiment was rich and imposing, Xu Bao’s request for beef was not considered excessive. However, in a small place like Crooked Yang County, beef was rare.

Shanxi was considered to be the south of the country. Most people didn’t eat very much beef. The steak that the teachers and wives had previously eaten was also airlifted from Shanghai, so it was very rare. There were many cows in the countryside, but they were all used for farming.

Xu Bao took the soldiers and money back to Wutai Village, found his father-in-law, and tearfully said that he wanted to eat beef.

But it’s not a big deal to see your daughter-in-law squatting by the side of the road drooling and staring at someone’s cow.

Seeing this drooling girl reminded him of the previous time when he came to the city to buy pigs. Now that the pigs were all bought, that little beast only ate and did not work, selling himself well, but the cattle could not do it. A family of farmland all depended on this cow, and even if they were beaten to death they would not sell it, so wherever Xu Bao appeared, the cows were hidden.

Xu Bao angrily returned to the team section.

He happened to meet Song Yi Han, and upon hearing that Song Yi was a knowledgeable person, Xu Bao asked, “Brother Song, other than using cattle to plow the farmlands, what else can you use?”

Song Yi Han had a wide range of knowledge, so this question didn’t trouble him at all. He smiled and said, “We use cattle here, while foreign countries use machines to travel. Hualala, hualala, hualala! This is more useful than cattle.”

Machine? Xu Bao recalled, “Brother Song, are you talking about that oily thing, the one that’s in the master’s house?”

“Yes, our Bao`er is really smart, but it’s still a bit different. The land used for farming is called an agricultural tractor, I’ve seen it in Japan and heard that it’s available in China as well. It’s sent by the Americans, but it’s too expensive, no one bought it.” Of course, he was only casually saying that the machine cost one thousand yuan, and farmers absolutely could not afford it. If they could afford it, they would need to be farmers!

However, Xu Bao was someone who would risk his life just to eat meat, so she decided to buy some kind of machine that could pull out farmland.

At night, the couple talked —

Xu Bao: Big Brother wants to buy something.

Wu Anguo: Alright, you can buy whatever you want. You don’t need to ask for my opinion. All mine are yours.

The next day, Xu Bao went to Song Yihan to ask him to contact a “garbage” shop in Shanghai. She wanted to buy five “garbage” cars and buy back all the cattle in the county. If she couldn’t finish, she could make beef jerky.

Song Yihan had a request for Bao`er, so he immediately sent a telegram to an acquaintance in Shanghai.

The next day Wu Anguo settled accounts, and found out that before the 8000 yuan was covered up, 5000 yuan had been taken away!

At night, a mournful cry came from the captain’s room.
