In her past life, Sheng Kangning was the classic naive girl—easily manipulated by her scheming stepmother and half-sister, blindly following their every move.
Branded with a ruined reputati...
Sheng Kangning put his luggage under the bed first, and saw that Xu Hongmei was the only one in the tent:
"Sister Hongmei, why are you alone here? Where are the others?"
Xu Hongmei looked at Sheng Kangning with shining eyes. After Sheng Kangning put down his luggage, she pulled him to sit on her bed and said, "They have been helping in the cafeteria recently and came back late!"
Then he lowered his voice and asked:
"Kang Ning, I heard from Lao Zhou that you and the company commander, no, the boss is now the battalion commander, you and the battalion commander got married on the eighth of this month?"
Sheng Kangning nodded: "Yes, it's over!"
"Is it really over?"
"real!"
Xu Hongmei looked at Sheng Kangning with envy and excitedly grabbed Sheng Kangning's hand:
"Kang Ning, that's great! It's great that you two are getting married! There are some things I haven't told you because the boss wouldn't let me. You don't know that the boss has been eyeing you for a long time, me!"
Xu Hongmei pointed at herself and said, "I was sent by the boss to protect you!"
Sheng Kangning looked at Xu Hongmei in surprise: "Sister Hongmei, are you telling the truth?"
Xu Hongmei:
"You don't believe it, this is true! How could I lie to you! After I was demobilized, the unit I received was not here. However, I am an orphan and have no family, so it doesn't matter where I go. I heard the boss say that he wanted to find someone to protect a little girl. At that time, someone asked the boss what was his relationship with this girl and he had to explain it clearly. The boss said that she was his fiancée. When they heard that it was a fiancée, the soldiers were embarrassed to compete with me, so I signed up!
Also, the boss originally refused the mission here, but later agreed to come. I think the boss followed you here because you were going to work in the countryside. He was worried about you!"
After saying that, Xu Hongmei stretched out her hand and pinched Sheng Kangning's cheek, and said with a smile:
"If I were the boss, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving you here alone with a fiancée as beautiful as you. Look at this face. Yang Hui from the Youth Protection Team called me more than once to ask about you."
Did Brother Chu come to the Great Northern Wilderness because of me?
this?
Sheng Kangning really didn't expect this.
But when Sheng Kangning heard Sister Hongmei say this, he felt warm in his heart.
"Wait, who were you talking about just now?" Sheng Kangning asked.
"Speaking of the boss!"
"No, the last thing you said was the Youth Protection Team!"
"Oh, you should ask about Yang Hui. Yang Hui was seriously injured and was sent to the Provincial People's Hospital. He...it seems that he cares about you very much. He called you every two days to ask about your condition! To ask if you have returned?"
At this point, Xu Hongmei frowned:
"Kang Ning, Lao Zhou said that your marriage to the boss won't be made public for the time being, is that true?
Why? You see, if you don't make your marriage public,
There must be more than one man who pursues you and loves you, Yang Hui. You don't know it, just because Yang Hui calls you from time to time, he calls you whenever he wants, and he always asks you,
Now everyone on the farm knows that he's interested in you!
You guys don't plan to make your marriage public, so Yang Hui will definitely not give up. I'm a little worried that Yang Hui will keep pestering you. What should I do?"
Sheng Kangning frowned slightly. Yang Hui really wanted to date her, even in his previous life.
"Sister Hongmei, it won't be long before my marriage to Brother Chu is made public."
"Then how long do we have to wait?"
"It will be made public after the New Year."
"So what should we do now? I heard that Yang Hui is also actively recovering in the provincial capital, and he wants to come back to the farm as soon as possible. If he hears that you have returned to the farm, I guess he will definitely find a way to come back early."
Sheng Kangning smiled and comforted Xu Hongmei:
"Sister Hongmei, don't worry, it's okay. Brother Chu and I just don't live together now, and we don't make our marriage public. But if anyone asks, we can say that Brother Chu and I are engaged, and our marriage application has been approved. Brother Chu and I are in a military marriage, so those people won't target me."
After thinking for a moment, Xu Hongmei nodded:
"You must tell Lao Zhou about your engagement. I think it will be most convincing if Lao Zhou says it. Then you don't have to worry about anyone watching you."
Sheng Kangning couldn't help laughing when he saw Xu Hongmei looking worried:
"Sister Hongmei, it's not as exaggerated as you say. If there is anyone who likes me, it's Brother Chu. As for Yang Hui, maybe he just wants to express his gratitude to me. Didn't I save him last time? He is just grateful!"
Xu Hongmei glanced at Sheng Kangning and said, "You have no idea what you look like. Besides Yang Hui, there is also Liu Jinjiang! Oh, by the way, there is also your classmate!
Alas! To be honest, I am really happy for you when I heard the news that you and the boss are getting married! You two are such a perfect match standing together! You are a perfect match! I forgot to ask you after talking so much, why did you come back just after your wedding! "
Sheng Kangning smiled and said:
"Brother Chu has something to do, it should be the task you mentioned! We can't ask too much about what Brother Chu is doing, so we came back early. Sister Hongmei, I brought you a gift, wait for it."
Sheng Kangning opened the luggage, took out a cloth bag from it, and handed it to Xu Hongmei:
"For you."
Sheng Kangning bought a set of clothes for Xu Hongmei, made of gray khaki fabric. Sheng Kangning also bought one for himself, and the styles of their clothes were exactly the same.
Sheng Kangning had no intention of wearing the dress that her mother-in-law Fu Yunhua had asked the tailor to make for her because it made her waist look too tight and showed off her good figure.
In addition to a set of clothes, Xu Hongmei was also given a few pairs of underwear. The underwear at that time was a vest made of pure cotton cloth.
When Sheng Kangning was buying clothes for himself, he thought of Sister Hongmei and bought a few pieces for her as well.
After all, there is not even a small store at Hongyang Farm, so it is not convenient to go out.
Xu Hongmei opened the cloth bag and the first thing she saw was the underwear and lingerie. She reached out and touched them in surprise: "Are they all for me?"
Sheng Kangning nodded: "I have mine too."
"Oh, Kangning, you are so kind. You don't know that I was worried about where to buy these things! This is great. When I was in the army, clothes and other things were all distributed uniformly, and I never worried about buying clothes. Now that I have retired, I have to buy them myself. Many times I forget about it, and only realize that I don't have it when I need to wear it. Thank you, Kangning!"
After that, he took out the bottom set of clothes and said with a surprised smile: "This material is good and strong! Kangning, do you have it?"
Sheng Kangning smiled and nodded: "Yes, I also bought one, the same as yours. I just thought that if I go into the mountains to collect herbs later, I will ask you to come with me. This material is strong and will not be scratched."
