The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 111 Divorce Application

Maybe carrying a bucket of manure is not a problem for them. After all, everyone who has farmed in their hometown has carried manure.

But the regiment’s pig farm is on the east side of the regiment, and the land they cultivate is in the valley on the west side.

To carry it here, you have to walk about three miles, which is not a short distance.

Especially here, it’s much more.

But, people are smart and have solutions.

Liang Xinyue and her colleagues found a place suitable for making a manure pit in the reclaimed area.

Now they have two pits as backup manure pits, so they let the children spread out the weeds they cut when they were clearing the land to dry in the sun.

Then pick up some leaves that can be picked up, sweep up those that can be swept and pile them up first.

Now that they are useful, Liang Xinyue put all these things at the bottom of the pit.

Transporting manure cannot rely solely on physical labor, but also requires some brainpower.

Liang Xinyue thought of using a cart.

She went to the city and bought some extra-large plastic bags (people who have stayed in the countryside in that era should have seen this kind of plastic bag, which can hold several big men and is specially used for green fodder. For example, in the south, after harvesting sweet potato vines in summer, the vines are chopped up and sealed inside. In winter, when there is no green fodder to feed pigs, the bags can be used to cook pig feed.) She also bought a kind of plastic cloth that can be used as a shed cloth, which is very thick.

After getting it back, she and Fu Chunhua found a way to use a useless cart borrowed from the army and fenced the area around the cart with some wooden strips.

And the rear of the fence, like the tailgate of a truck, can be opened.

This design is to make it easier to dump manure.

Then put a thick plastic sheet underneath, and then another thin plastic sheet on top.

To be honest, the smell in the pigpen is very bad.

In addition, due to years of hard work, the feces are mostly dry and less liquid.

They had to use a shovel to shovel everything into the cart they had prepared. When they transported it for the first time, they didn't dare to load too much.

Just load half the car first.

The first people to load the truck were Liang Xinyue, Fu Chunhua and Yang Dapan.

Fu Chunhua and Yang Dapan didn't let Liang Xinyue get close, for fear of making her feel nauseous. In fact, the smell could be smelled in the wind from far away from the pig farm.

Liang Xinyue prepared a mask, and inside the mask, she had wrapped ginger slices and put them inside.

When I opened it and put it on, there was no strange smell, only the smell of ginger.

Liang Xinyue gave each of them one, and Fu Chunhua smiled:

"Why do you have so many ideas?"

When Liang Xinyue mentioned the method of transporting manure, they all praised it highly. It was a good idea. One truck could carry several loads of manure. Moreover, it saved effort and time.

After they finished loading, several new recruits from the pig farm helped them push the cart out of the regiment headquarters.

After coming out, Yang Dapan pulled the cart, while Liang Xinyue and Fu Chunhua pushed the cart on the left and right, and no one felt tired.

Liang Xinyue led them to level the entire road ahead of time, laying small stones where necessary and filling potholes with mud where necessary.

In this way, the cart is pulled to the edge of the pit, and then the cart is turned around with the rear end facing the edge of the pit.

Liang Xinyue and Fu Chunhua each unfastened the wood on both sides, and the entire tailgate opened from the middle.

The plastic sheet laid in this way just fell down and laid on the edge of the pit. But there was still a thin layer on the thick surface.

I just didn't expect it to be so dry this time. It didn't slide down after it was opened.

All they could do was fetch some water to wet the pit so that the stinky pig manure would slide into the pit and cover the dead leaves and rotten grass.

Just like this, there is a layer of leaves and weeds, a layer of feces, and finally some kitchen waste water is poured in. Nothing is wasted, all is used to make fertilizer.

It took them two days to fill both pits, and they also transported a few truckloads of waste to a nearby forest and piled them up.

Because this time we need this kind of dry manure to make corn seed balls.

Even Political Commissar Xu came to see Liang Xinyue and her team transporting manure, and went back to tell Zhou Guoliang:

"Your wife is so capable. She has come up with so many ideas. I think she would have a bright future if she lived in the city."

Zhou Guoliang was very happy to hear his wife was praised for her good deeds, but when he heard about going to the city, he thought of Lin Xiaoju:

"Political Commissar, you can't encourage her to go to the city. Look at Lin Xiaoju, she thinks she is from the city... Alas. People's hearts will change."

Lao Xu didn't say anything. His wife was also from the city, but she was not like Lin Xiaoju.

But when it comes to Lin Xiaoju, he sighed, took out a piece of paper from his desk and handed it to Zhou Guoliang:

"Look, Lao Xiao said he wanted to see me yesterday. I went there and he dictated it to me and asked me to write it for him. I'm still thinking about it and haven't submitted it yet."

Divorce report?

Zhou Guoliang saw the four big words above at first glance.

Lao Xiao wants to file for divorce.

After reading it carefully, Zhou Guoliang sat down on Lao Xu's desk and sighed heavily:

"We were thinking it would be even better if he could be accepted by Lin Xiaoju. But now..."

Looking at the letter in his hand, Zhou Guoliang felt extremely heavy.

The report was very simple. It just stated the reasons for the start and end of their marriage. One of the reasons was incompatibility of personalities, so they decided to divorce.

The family had no property to begin with, and Lin Xiaoju voluntarily gave up the custody of her two children, so in the end, Lin Xiaoju left the house with nothing.

Lao Xu and Zhou Guoliang have been coordinating, but they did it without Lao Xiao's knowledge. But they didn't expect...

Lao Xu sighed and said:

"I asked a retired comrade of mine about it. He went back to work and is now a city dweller again. And, I heard he has a goal."

"It's also my fault. I took the initiative to write her a letter, telling her about Lao Xiao and the children, and that I was going to ask her unit to take Lao Xiao in. This way, the two of them can be together in the future, and someone can take care of Lao Xiao and the two children. What a great thing."

"But I don't think so. The letter Lao Xiao received a few days ago was written by Lin Xiaoju. Lao Xiao didn't show me the letter, but I roughly guessed it. Lin Xiaoju thought that the letter I wrote was Lao Xiao's intention, and she might have scolded Lao Xiao in the letter."

"And it seems that she wants Lao Xiao to not appear in her life anymore. She also doesn't want children. She wants to erase her past."

"Now Lao Xiao is preparing for a divorce and asked me not to prepare for him to change his career. He retired from the army and went back to being a farmer."

Zhou Guoliang punched Lao Xu's desk, then handed the divorce report to Lao Xu and said:

"Put it away first and don't move. I'll think of a solution."

In the evening, after Zhou Guoliang settled his two children, he told Liang Xinyue in bed about the divorce report he had seen today.

Liang Xinyue also sighed:

"I heard that Lao Xiao's family has nothing. He won't even have a house to live in when he returns. What should we do?"
