Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 36
There were no secrets that could be hidden in this world. The fact that Wu Anguo had obtained a box of priceless Western paintings was becoming increasingly bizarre.
However, the other groups didn’t think so. Some even guessed maliciously that it was Wu Anguo and his wife who played the role of the couple, and they already knew that the painting was worth a lot.
Just when the other five Company Leaders were about to make a move and find a chance to destroy Wu Anguo so that they could snatch his things and split the points with everyone.
Commander Liu gave the order that Captain Wu would become Commander Wu and become their immediate superior.
Originally, with the same level as him, he would make an excuse to kill him, but he wouldn’t say anything because it was already a foregone conclusion. But now that he had become your leader, things were different.
Wu Anguo also did not know how to react to this’ good fortune ‘. Speaking of which, he was just a Battalion Commander previously, but the speed at which he got promoted was just too fast.
After becoming a brigade commander, Wu Anguo was still in Qu Yang County. Naturally, his closest subordinates were promoted as well. Li Zilong and Song Yi Han were the leaders, and Zhang Shiqing was still working as a staff officer after careful consideration. Although he did not lead any troops, his position as a close relative of the leader could be easily imagined. Now that the ranks were high, the number of soldiers had increased.
Almost immediately, a large sum of money was needed to purchase arms.
Last time, the bandit Wu Anguo had the most gains, but the losses were also the greatest. Song Yihan’s special forces had suffered especially heavy losses, and the remaining 50 people were not even there, so they urgently needed to expand. After the previous lesson, Song Yihan also realized his own inadequacies and that his actual combat ability was too little. He decided to further strengthen his strength in this area.
At the same time, they were very curious about Xu Bao’s fifty underlings, but after knowing that it was to tear down the tiger cub’s nest, they all laughed out loud! Just tell me, how were they so powerful? It turned out to be a coincidence.
As a brigade commander, he would have more troops under him. He could not count on the other regiments. In troubled times, even though it was a relationship of upper and lower class, he still had to be at ease if he had a soldier.
Wu Anguo ran over to the military to collect his pay. When General Liu heard that, he first put down his face and criticized seriously, “An Guoguo, you’re already a brigade commander, and you’re still so restless. Look at this, in China, how can there be a brigade commander as young as you. “You came to find me for such a small matter.”
Commander Liu laughed bitterly and said: “I’ve always treated you as one of my own, and I haven’t hidden anything from you. Although I’ve been promoted to the rank of a commander, my salary has not changed, and I still live in the same place, and the commander in chief hasn’t given me a single soldier, let alone any money.”
Wu Anguo cursed silently. This division’s building was the best in Taiyuan, so of course you wouldn’t want to move it. However, thinking about it, it was fine. On the surface, there was a face of respect and shame.
Seeing Wu Anguo’s expression, Commander Liu was very happy. Finally, he sincerely said, “Young man, you have to be smart. The higher ups won’t give you any, you can take it from somewhere else. You said you didn’t know how to use your power when you were promoted.”
Wu Anguo seemed to have matured a bit since he didn’t get a dime and got scolded.
Back in Crooked Yang County, Wu Anguo was wondering what the military commander’s words meant when Song Yinhan came to report that he had received a telegram from Shanghai. There was an urgent matter.
Wu Anguo took it and looked at it. It was from James, and it said that he had a friend who wanted to buy a painting from his best friend, Xu, and was willing to pay thirty thousand dollars for it.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw this. Didn’t they say that they needed to be appraised before? Why were they in such a hurry to buy it this time? They even asked for 30,000 yuan. Was this foreigner’s friend that rich?
Wu Anguo was very envious. If he was sleepy, he would have a pillow. If he had this money, he could immediately settle the issue of the purchase fee for the firearms. However, this painting was originally meant for that little girl. Even though Wu Anguo was envious of it, he still felt that he needed to discuss it with that little girl.
When Xu Bao heard that he was going to sell his painting, he shook his head like a rattle drum. He refused! She wasn’t short of money.
Wu Anguo had always felt that he had a good temper, but every time he saw this little girl, he would be very irritable. If it wasn’t for this public place, he really wanted to pick her up and smack her ass.
Of course, Xu Bao had schemed this out well. If his big brother insisted on showing his face, he definitely wouldn’t beat him up in front of others. This was why he was so adamant on not giving in.
“Little Treasure, why aren’t you selling them? Your paintings are boring to keep, and you’re not even looking at them.” Wu Anguo is ready to continue his soft policy.
“Yes, I don’t need it. If you won’t let me bring the big cat out to play, I can only take the painting out to play with the big cat. The big cat looks at the painting and eats the meat!” Xu Bao said in a serious tone.
Standing at the side, Song Yihan looked at Xu Bao with a doting smile on his face. He felt that in the entire Regiment Division, the person he liked the most was Bao’er.
Wu Anguo decided to avoid the question of the utility of painting and to take the other side of the road, because from his experience with the little girl, it was clear to him that he should never try to reason with her from her point of view, because she would drag your IQ to the same level as hers and defeat you with her rich experience.
“Little Treasure, do you have anything that you like? With money, you can buy it!” Wu Anguo coaxed as he turned into a babysitter.
Xu Bao shook his head. No.
Song grew to like Xu Bao more and more. He was a persistent girl.
But soon, Xu Bao firmly said, “I’m fine selling paintings, but I don’t want money. Bring me a cart full of guns and explosives. My big cat wants meat, it’s getting harder and harder to catch meat on the mountain.”
Song’s face turned black. Was the thought just now an illusion?
Wu Anguo nodded his head. Good, good, whatever you say.
Song sent a sad telegram saying that he was willing to sell the painting, but hoped to trade arms for it.
The other side agreed very quickly. The foreigners at that time had plenty of money, and it was as easy to find money in China as it was to pick it up, but it was not easy to bring it home. James’s friends were going home, and they wanted to buy it into something valuable.
He was originally afraid that others would reject it, but upon hearing that it was just an exchange of arms, he immediately agreed. It’s not easy for the Chinese to buy arms, but it’s easy for the foreigners. Soon, a carriage full of firearms was delivered to Crooked Yang County. Out of Xu Bao’s ten paintings, only eight remained.
Wu Anguo was so happy. Originally, he made money to buy arms, but now, he had made it all in one go. No matter how envious the other five regiment leaders were, they wouldn’t dare to do anything. Strength was everything.
With weapons and equipment, Wu Anguo’s travel department began to expand its staffing.
After the last bandit incident, Song Yihan finally realized the importance of camouflage clothing, so this time, the uniforms of Wu Anguo’s soldiers were all changed to the same tattered green cloth uniform. This made Xu Bao’s fifty soldiers very proud, because they were the vanguards, and everyone laughed at them before.
However, when the serious training began, Wu Anguo realized the role of the fifty men, and no longer let them fool around with Xu Bao, asking them to join the army and train with him.
This time, Song Yihan didn’t mention anything about training special forces anymore. He gathered all the soldiers together, trying to get the veterans to bring the recruits and integrate them into his character as soon as possible.
Thus, Xu Bao could only play with her big cat. Moreover, that big cat had already grown up. Wu Anguo forbade her to bring that tiger out for fun, so she could only lock it up.
Xu Bao was depressed, and the food was not going to be good. Of course, Xu Bao didn’t realize that she didn’t eat well because she was bored, so she thought the noodles were too thick.
At this point of time, the noodles were all coarse. Small areas did not allow for fine noodles, not to mention that it was already an incredible thing to eat coarse noodles in the midst of a war!
But Xu Bao felt it was necessary for her to work hard and improve her food, so she borrowed one of her old subordinates to get a stone mill from her father in the countryside and put it in the cat’s house.
The cat that was tied up saw someone coming in and thought it was meat. It was very excited, but it turned out to be a stone mill.
Then the cat was tied to the millstone. Xu Bao held a whip and shouted from a distance, “Run, run! If you don’t grind your mask white today, you won’t eat meat tonight!”
Thus, the big cat became depressed. If it had studied history, it would have definitely discovered that it was the unluckiest tiger in history. It was actually grinding its face!
After a few days of unremitting grinding, Xu Bao finally ate the fine noodles, and the amount of tough big cat meat greatly increased!
Wu Anguo, the boss, was furious! To grind fine noodles that weighed less than a catty, one had to use more than two catties of meat in exchange … To think that this little girl had a complacent look on her face. It was as if she was the landlord exploiting the little tiger’s labor force. She had a sense of accomplishment!
Did she even have the brains to calculate how many catties of flour could be bought with two catties of meat …?
Wu Anguo made a difficult decision in order to prevent his family from consuming more and more meat, as well as to prevent the tiger from killing itself by grinding its face to death! He wanted to buy a grinder!
After hearing that Mi Mai and Te Wu wanted to buy a grinder, James was even more certain that this Chinese was different from the others. He knew that advanced machines could bring great benefits and was willing to accept new things, and such a person would definitely succeed in the future. After a few twists and turns, Wu Anguo finally bought the flour grinder.
Looking at the dark, thick, and black face that was as white as snow flowing out, Xu Bao excitedly hugged his husband and praised, “Big brother, you’re too awesome! You’re actually even stronger than a big cat!”
The big brother and the big cat were both crying …
