Good news: She found out she was the original female lead in a novel, now reduced to a supporting role.
Bad news: Her storyline had already ended, with her receiving her "lunchbox" (b...
In short, Zhao Qinghuai felt incredibly frustrated reading these stories. One reason was that he felt Lin Ying didn't trust him. Another was that the stories were so well-written that it was easy to empathize with the female protagonist; although he was a man, he believed everyone was equal in matters of the heart.
He also easily immerses himself in the storyline.
"Captain, what are you looking at so intently?"
Zhao Qinghuai instinctively wanted to put the story away, but thinking that he couldn't bear such pain alone, he took out the story he had already read: "Tell me your thoughts after you finish reading it!"
The team members didn't react at first, but when they saw the contents, the expressions on their faces were priceless.
They simply couldn't imagine why their steely captain would read such a morally reprehensible little story.
However, thinking about the assessment the captain had just mentioned, they could only watch these stories with a sense of utter distaste, finding them difficult to swallow.
Then, as they watched, they became completely absorbed.
Based on the principle that I shouldn't be the only one to suffer this hardship, these ten stories somehow spread throughout the army. This viral spread eventually led the stories to the hands of higher-ups.
Especially after the leader saw this story, he suddenly remembered a similar case in the military that had really given him a headache. So, instead of severely criticizing Zhao Qinghuai for his reckless behavior, he...
However, these materials do not concern military privacy, nor do they contain any inappropriate content. They are simply ordinary publications and are not subject to any prohibition.
Most importantly, if reading these things can nip any signs of undermining the military's spirit in the bud, that would be a good thing.
Lin Ying never expected that her small gesture would lead to an extra emotional training session for their unit.
The beneficiaries, of course, are their wives. Their wives already feel insecure at home while they're away on missions. What if they bring back some random woman, like the sister of their benefactor? What kind of situation is that?
You consider other people's kindness as kindness, but your wife, because she married you, worries about your family every day, and that's expected of her? A person who can't distinguish between what's important and what's not, has no willpower at all, so what secrets can you expect him to keep?
Later, these ten novels actually became a tradition in their unit. New to the army? Come on, let's experience the hardships that our predecessors endured.
It is precisely because of these novels that when they actually encounter similar situations around them, their first thought is the plot, and they themselves are so frightened that they dare not provoke them.
What orphan? What girl next door? What savior? Don't get involved with any of that.
Kindness can be repaid; they have all been trained and summarized on how to do so, and there is a specific procedure. It is absolutely free from any personal feelings.
You're already married, and you still want to get involved with other people's feelings? Don't talk about gratitude, you're just a scoundrel!
Lin Ying wrote those stories mainly because she felt that she shouldn't be the only one suffering from these unfounded thoughts. She believed that women reading such stories would only feel self-pity and create internal conflict, leading to further overthinking.
These stories are meant for your man to read. Women understand women best. Sometimes men can't grasp a woman's feelings. So let him experience it through your eyes. When he encounters a similar situation, at least he'll have a first impression of it.
After seeing Bao Youxue's family off, Lin Ying took her three children to the supply and marketing cooperative.
When Bao Youxue and his group came, they brought Lin Ying a lot of flawed fine fabric. Lin Ying planned to make Haoyu a decent set of clothes. In addition, she would need to buy a new hat and shoes.
Of course, most importantly, Lin Ying needs to buy baby formula.
Now, there's another child in the family, and he's only five years old. Lin Ying wants him to drink at least a glass of milk a day. So, she has to think about reducing Er Ya's food rations.
Er Ya now drinks at least three cups a day.
Lin Ying thought that if all else failed, she would let her have a couple of drinks. She would give Haoyu one.
Even so, there is still a shortage of milk powder.
Left with no other option, Lin Ying bought two cans of malted milk powder. She'd heard from the supply and marketing cooperative clerk that malted milk powder sold very well, and that it didn't require milk powder coupons, only sugar coupons.
Lin Ying was worried that the children wouldn't like it, so she planned to buy a small amount to try it out first.
But in her heart, Lin Ying thought that she would still like to go to the space again if she had the chance, to see if she could upgrade it, so that she could raise some animals, like catching a couple of goats or other animals from the mountains. At least it could supplement the nutrition for her child.
