Chapter 237 Li Rong: My wife is like a golden monkey on the mountain
"Are the recent rumors about your wife in the military true?" Cui Zhiguo asked curiously.
When he returned home for dinner, he heard from his wife that Xiao Luo was cruel and vicious. He knocked out all the teeth of a military wife in the family building and threw her into the toilet to eat feces. Another military wife just said a few words, but was forced by Luo Xinxin to contract the sanitation of the entire family building. He also forced this military wife to change her name. He was even more vicious than the bandits before liberation.
Cui Zhiguo was half-believing and half-doubting. He knew that Luo Xinxin was fierce, but she was definitely not a rude and unreasonable girl. There must be a misunderstanding.
"What's going on outside? Are they praising my wife for being as beautiful as a fairy and smart and capable?"
Li Rong was also very curious, as he had never heard any of those rumors.
Cui Zhiguo twitched his lips. Those rumors were right in one respect: the couple were quite shameless, with skins thicker than city walls.
He relayed all the rumors without any artistic embellishment on a single word.
"Slander, all slander. How could my wife do those things? Those people are just jealous of my wife's beauty and ability, deliberately spreading rumors and slandering her. If she doesn't attract jealousy, she's mediocre. Talented people like Xinxin and me are bound to be envied, so it's normal for there to be more false rumors. But you're a leader, your insights and perspectives are extraordinary, you definitely wouldn't believe these nonsense."
Li Rong first expressed his anger, then boasted a little, and then flattered someone. He learned all this from watching "The Deer and the Cauldron".
This book taught him a lot, and he reflected deeply on it. He realized that his previous harsh words were wrong. It felt good, but he also suffered losses. Now that he has learned a little bit of Wei Xiaobao's tact, he will definitely be able to thrive in the workplace and get promoted step by step.
Sure enough, Cui Zhiguo was very happy with the flattery, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Li Rong became much kinder. It was rare for this kid to speak so nicely, and he must have been moved by his outstanding personality charm.
Li Rong told the truth of the matter again, but he made some artistic processing, and specially emphasized He Dazui's bad mouthing and Fan Yiku's exaggeration.
"Even if these two were wrong first, Xiao Luo's counterattack was too much. The other party is a comrade, not an enemy."
Cui Zhiguo frowned slightly. He felt that Luo Xinxin was a little narrow-minded and a little free and easy.
"My wife is narrow-minded, vindictive, and free-spirited, but you can rest assured that she will never do anything that goes against her principles," Li Rong assured earnestly.
"Xiao Luo, when you join the army, you will definitely have to change your temper."
Cui Zhiguo also wanted to recruit Luo Xinxin into the army. He was reluctant to let go of such a talented person.
"It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature. Even a dog can't stop eating shit, and my wife definitely can't change. She'll definitely be punished every day when she joins the army. It will be annoying for you and me. But my wife said that as long as the organization needs her, she will be there at any time!"
Li Rong quickly refused, listing several inappropriate points: "My wife likes to sleep in in the morning, doesn't make the quilt, is incompetent at housekeeping, and has a poor sense of time. It's better not to bother you. I'll deal with it alone."
"You don't even make the quilt?"
Cui Zhiguo didn't believe it. How could a woman be so lazy? His wife would sweep the house eight times a day and change the sheets and quilt covers once a week.
"My wife said that it's a waste of time to fold it in the morning and then unfold it again in the evening."
Li Rong thought it made sense, but he was already used to it and would fold it when he got up in the morning.
Cui Zhiguo was so angry that he laughed, "She has a perverse logic and no sense of discipline at all."
"Yes, there is indeed no discipline."
Li Rong nodded vigorously.
Cui Zhiguo frowned and his idea of recruiting Luo Xinxin to the army faded a little. This girl was indeed a talent, but her lack of organization and discipline was also a big problem, which would definitely not be allowed in the army.
"Leave Xiao Luo to me. I'll definitely train him in three months."
Cui Zhiguo did not give up. Talents were rare, so he wanted to save them again.
"Not three months."
Li Rong replied, and Cui Zhiguo raised his eyebrows, his face showing joy. Then he heard him say: "If you train me, my wife will die in less than a month."
"Nonsense, am I the King of Hell?"
Cui Zhiguo's face darkened.
"Deputy Commander, my wife is like a golden monkey in the mountains. She's pretty and obedient when she's kept there, but if she's put in a cage, she'll die within a month. Do you understand?"
Li Rong made a simple and vivid analogy, saying that some talents must be released back into the wild in order to unleash their potential.
Cui Zhiguo was so angry that he laughed and deliberately asked, "Does Xiao Luo know that you compared her to a monkey?"
If he dares to compare his wife to a monkey, he will definitely sleep on the floor at night. This guy is really brave.
"Golden monkeys are not ordinary monkeys."
Li Rong corrected him, saying that the golden monkey is the most beautiful monkey in the monkey world.
Cui Zhiguo rolled his eyes in annoyance. No matter how extraordinary it was, it was still a monkey. But the way Xiao Luo jumped around did look like a monkey.
"You need to open your mind. Although my wife didn't join our military region, I am here. We are one as husband and wife and will definitely not be separated. If you have any missions in the future, just assign them to me. Together, we can definitely complete them successfully. For example, Qingfeng, how about we go find him?"
Li Rong gave him a reassurance, then took the initiative to bring up Qingfeng and change the subject.
As expected, Cui Zhiguo refused. "You and Xiao Luo have just made great contributions. There are many people eyeing Qingfeng, a piece of fat meat. They will definitely not assign it to you. It just so happens that you just got married, so you should take a break first."
"Okay, I'm going back."
Li Rong agreed very readily and turned around and left.
After he left, Cui Zhiguo finally reacted and scolded him with a smile: "You cunning little brat, if you don't want to, forget it."
Even though he was not good at dealing with people, he could hear that Luo Xinxin was unwilling to join the army, and he could not force her, so let it be.
What Li Rong said also made sense. As long as this kid was in the Northwest Military Region, Luo Xinxin would definitely not go to other military regions.
As for what happened to Luo Xinxin in the family building, he just pretended not to hear it. It was He Dazui and Fan Yiku who were the first to do it.
Li Rong stopped by the cafeteria to get some food and walked home slowly. He met many people along the way, and they all greeted him.
After he walked away, these old men began to talk.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Li, you've never cooked since you got married, right?"
"Absolutely not. He eats in the cafeteria for three meals a day and brings some back to his wife."
"I heard from my wife that the Li family's stove is useless except for boiling water and baking glutinous rice cakes."
"My wife also said that Deputy Battalion Commander Li's wife likes to bake glutinous rice cakes. I often see her baking them on the stove."
The old men became more and more excited as they talked, and finally came to a conclusion - Luo Xinxin couldn't cook.
"What's the point of having good looks if you can't even get a hot meal? Deputy Battalion Commander Li is going to suffer in the future!"
"The canteen has the same few dishes all year round, and I can't get used to them. My wife's cooking is still the best."
"We can't live like this. Problems are bound to arise over time. Deputy Battalion Commander Li is too indulgent with his wife. You see, sooner or later we'll have to break up!"
…
The old men who used to envy Li Rong are no longer envious. A beautiful wife is indeed pleasing to the eye, but life still requires reality. They would rather live with the ugly woman at home than marry a lazy fairy who can't cook.
Moreover, they were not optimistic about Li Rong and Luo Xinxin's marriage, and predicted the time when they would break up.
"Half a year at most!"
This was because of Luo Xinxin's beauty, so they added two more months. If they had replaced her with an ordinary-looking woman, it would have been at most three months.
