After breakfast, the brothers were not idle. They left dozens of kilograms of raw beef, cut the rest into small pieces, marinated it with seasonings, and made beef jerky.
After a busy day, only more than 70 kilograms of beef jerky was obtained from three hundred kilograms of fresh beef. Shui Shangqing smacked his tongue: "This is really expensive, but it's really delicious."
As someone who has served in the military, Shui Shangqing also knows that it is time to recruit pilots. It seems that this meat is mainly prepared for the third child.
The bucket of braised beef at home weighs dozens of kilograms, enough for the couple and Xiao Qi and Bingyue to eat for a long time.
But considering that the eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant and needed to make up for it, I left her ten pounds. Xiaoqi and Bingyue weighed ten kilograms in total, and the rest were given to the third to sixth children to take away.
These four boys came back empty-handed, but returned with full bags. Several people arrived at the school and handed the beef jerky to Lao San for safekeeping.
The third child refused: "My portion is enough for me to take the test. You don't have to worry about me. Eating too much may not necessarily be good. I asked specifically, and there is a range for weight."
"Okay then, third brother, just ask us for it after eating. We know the priorities." Lao Liu, who has always been a man of few words, said something right this time, and the brothers were very happy.
This is right. In the past, I always felt sorry for outsiders. You can't say that he is wrong, but it is really a bit chilling.
Brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle. Outsiders can never get past real brothers. Besides, none of the Shui family brothers treat their own people well.
Soon, Shui Jianjun ushered in his second test. He went to the city hospital for a physical check-up and tested his physical fitness on a professional track.
Shui Jianjun saw that the teachers were very satisfied with his performance. The last item is the political review.
There is no need to worry about this. After all, my father is the village chief, my eldest brother is an excellent worker, and my second brother is an Army Special Forces team member. The one who is famous can no longer be popular.
Don't worry about the political review, just be careful not to get yourself injured. After all, flying an airplane is a high-altitude operation, and the air pressure is completely different from that on the ground.
If there are scars on the pilot's body, it means that there is a possibility of explosion at any time, which is extremely dangerous.
Therefore, when he returned to school to continue studying, he was not overjoyed, and even looked a little disappointed to the naked eye.
This gives those who were not selected for some reasons a psychological balance. Look, the teacher didn't say that Shui Jianjun would definitely be selected. No, that's not possible either.
Even the fourth, fifth and sixth children didn't know the truth and kept comforting the third brother. In this way, those who caused mischief would not intend to harm Shui Jianjun maliciously.
In June, Shui Jianjun, who graduated from high school, went directly to the Beijing Pilot Training Academy to study. Those at the same level as him can't recruit anyone even if they want to do evil.
I just pity Bingyue, at such a young age, she has to watch an older brother running into the distance. The little girl cried so pitifully.
Shui Jianjun said distressedly: "Otherwise I won't go."
"Well, that's not possible. I finally made the choice. I, I won't cry anymore." Shui Bingyue wiped her eyes and didn't dare to cry.
Shui Jianjun touched his sister's head and kissed her on the forehead: "The third brother is gone. I will write to you when I have the chance."
Then he returned his sister to his father, said goodbye to everyone, got in the car and left his hometown.
Half a month later, Bai Lu returned to the family home of the steel factory, and Liu Xuemei accompanied her. After all, the due date was approaching, so it was safer to go to the hospital.
One night in the middle of the night, her stomach suddenly had strong contractions and the pain was severe. Fortunately, Shui Jianguo was beside her and she quickly got up.
Liu Xuemei heard the sound, picked up the things she had packed long ago, helped her son lift Bai Lu onto the bicycle, and went to the hospital together.
Fortunately, she was fully prepared, so Bai Lu went straight into the delivery room and gave birth to a baby boy at around three o'clock in the morning.
Shui Jianguo left Bai Lu and his son in the care of his mother, and hurried home to cook chicken noodles for his wife.
After all, childbirth consumes a lot of energy, so you need to eat more nutritious foods. But the aroma that wafted up in the early morning made many people drool, and they all complained about who was eating delicious food secretly in the middle of the night.
Shui Jianguo gave the noodles to his wife and mother. After letting the two of them eat, he returned home. After all, I didn’t ask for leave, so I still have to go to work today.
After three days, when his daughter-in-law can be discharged from the hospital, he will ask for leave to take her home.
Liu Xuemei was taking care of her daughter-in-law in the hospital and never dared to leave. She asked a nurse to help bring her lunch.
The confinement meals in the hospital are also good, but a bit expensive. But she couldn't leave, so she had to spend money to buy it.
During the day Liu Xuemei was in the hospital, and at night Shui Jianguo prepared dinner and brought it back for her mother to go home and rest.
In this way, breakfast and dinner are all made at home, so Bai Lu's stomach is not wasted.
When the three days were up and there were no problems, Shui Jianguo rented a tricycle to take his mother, daughter-in-law and son back home.
After settling in, Shui Jianguo said to Liu Xuemei, "Mom, I'm going to go home and tell my family that Bai Lu is pregnant."
"Go and reassure your father and the others."
When Liu Xuemei delivered the prepared snacks to her daughter-in-law's window.
Bai Lu hugged her chubby son and thanked her mother-in-law: "I have worked hard on you these days. It is a busy time for farming, so I have to trouble you to take care of me."
"You gave birth to a child for our Jianguo, so I should take care of you. Eat quickly and give me the baby."
It was near noon that Shui Jianguo arrived at Qingshui Village, found Shui Shangqing in the fields, and told him: "Dad, Bai Lu gave birth to a boy three days ago. After I took her home today, I came to tell you the good news. "
"Have you named the child yet?"
"Not yet. What haven't you thought of yet? Why don't you get up?"
"You go home and rest for a while. I'll get off work soon. Let's talk about it when we get home." Shui Shangqing arranged.
When Shui Jianguo saw Shui Bingyue sitting under the tree, he said, "Then I will take my sister back and make lunch for you."
"go Go."
Shui Bingyue sat on the bars of her elder brother's bicycle and went home together. Shui Jianguo made lunch quickly. After all, if his mother hadn't helped him, he wouldn't have been busy with all the work in the fields.
After everyone else came back from work and had lunch together, Shui Shangqing said, "Bring another person to help your mother. She should be too busy by herself."
"No need. I buy groceries every day and won't let my mother run back and forth. Besides, there is a lot of work in the fields.
Why don't I take Bingyue there so that she can chat with her mother and not let her be so lonely. After all, the people in the compound are quite snobbish. Watching people order dishes. "
"Okay, we Bingyue are also very capable. After lunch, you can pick up Bingyue's things and go back to the county town."
Shui Shangqing really didn't want her daughter to leave, but he wasn't willing to let her stay in the sun.
This was Shui Bingyue's first time to live in a county town, and it was also full of novelty.
