Chapter 69 Two scarred people
On the way home, Ma Siqing asked about Commander Zhang's situation.
Commander Zhang was from Hunan and had served in the army under the leader, but he was liberated after only a few years of fighting.
After liberation, he chose to stay in the army. When fighting against the United States and aiding Korea, Commander Zhang won five first-class merits. He was good at leading troops in battle. Later, he was promoted and climbed up step by step to his current position. Commander
Zhang's military management is clear about rewards and punishments, and he attaches equal importance to kindness and severity.
Guarding the country's northeastern border, he has fought several large and small battles in recent years and won them all.
Occasionally, the Russians would sneak in, so they had to be on guard.
But during his years in the northeast, the border has been much quieter. He
firmly guarded the country's northeastern gateway and had both merits and hard work.
Commander Zhang also had great military achievements in peacetime.
If he had been born ten years earlier and followed the leader to fight for the revolution, he would probably have become a founding hero.
But gold shines wherever it is. Even in peacetime, Commander Zhang has made some achievements in the Northeast. His military talent has long been noticed by the central government.
Look, he will be transferred soon, and this time he will probably be transferred to the central government to Beijing.
"Shi Yu, you said you saved Commander Zhang before?"
"Well, in 1971, there was a riot on the border. Commander Zhang was shot in the right leg during the riot. I looked for him for a long time and carried him back from the pile of dead bodies."
"The doctor said that if it was half an hour later, Commander Zhang would not be able to be saved."
"Since then, Commander Zhang has taken special care of me, but I rejected his kindness."
Ma Siqing had an expression of "Is that so?"
Tong Shiyu was anxious.
"My team leader earned it back by himself, without any backdoor. If you don't believe me, I'll show you when I get home."
"I believe you, you're not the kind of person who uses backdoors. Why are you so anxious?"
Ma Siqing looked at Tong Shiyu with sparkling eyes.
"I'm just afraid that my wife will think I'm a crooked person!" Tong Shiyu rubbed his hands and looked at Ma Siqing.
In the previous life, when Ma Siqing was assassinated by Lin Chunhua, Tong Shiyu used his connections.
Before that, no matter how big the difficulties the two people encountered in doing business, they solved them by themselves.
Ma Siqing remembered that a batch of goods they cooperated on at the time was blocked by the customs, and the two ran around to prove that there was no problem with their goods and that they were exported through normal channels.
If Tong Shiyu had found Commander Zhang at the time, Commander Zhang could have solved it with just one word.
But Tong Shiyu did not look for any connections, but relied on excellent product quality and solid production lines to make his products go abroad.
In her previous life, Ma Siqing always thought that Tong Shiyu was a pure businessman, born in the countryside, lucky, and created his own business.
Now it seems that there is someone behind him, but he will not use it easily.
The two walked back home in the snow, and a thin layer of snow fell on their bodies.
But Ma Siqing did not feel cold, and her heart was warm.
She has started a new life. Although she did not experience this period of time in her previous life, it is enough to have someone she likes around her.
Life is lived by people. The poor have their own way of living, and the rich have their own troubles.
By next year, the situation will slowly change. If we can endure for another two years, spring will arrive as scheduled.
In this borderland of ice and snow, I don’t know if there are conditions for studying. If I can find a way to study more, and then go to college, the road will be wider.
After returning home, it was almost dark.
Tong Shiyu and Ma Siqing burned the stove in the house until it was red.
Before getting married, the house was papered again so that the wind could not blow in. The stove was lit in the house and the temperature rose quickly.
Finally, I don’t have to wear thick cotton padded jackets in the house.
Ma Siqing was sewing shoe soles under the lamp.
She turned out a lot of scraps of cloth from her bag, all of which she had saved when she was in the textile factory.
She took everything with her when she left Danjiang.
Tong Shiyu didn't object at that time, and Ma Siqing almost moved her family here.
If Chen Xiaowei hadn't come to pick them up on the day they arrived in Fuyuan Town, she wouldn't know how to get to the troops.
Those scraps of cloth came in handy now.
Tong Shiyu was reading a book, glancing at Ma Siqing from time to time.
Ma Siqing's face was rosy under the lamp, like red fruits on Anling.
Ma Siqing has fair skin. Although she was abused in her adoptive mother's home for more than ten years, she has taken care of herself in the months after the divorce.
Until Tong Shiyu looked at her, Ma Siqing said coquettishly:
"Don't be distracted when reading, read the book in your mind, the knowledge is yours."
This sentence made Tong Shiyu feel a fire in his body, and he wanted to escape.
He smiled and answered Ma Siqing: "Hey, hey, listen to my wife."
Tong Shiyu then concentrated on reading.
Ma Siqing took out the cotton-added soles from the Space Supermarket while Tong Shiyu was not paying attention, and then covered them with the cloth in her hand, so that it could not be seen from the outside what was added inside, and there was no need to worry about being known, and the shoes were warmer to wear.
Ma Siqing quickly made a pair of soles, and then found the corduroy fabric and cut out the uppers.
After applying the batter, put it aside and wait for the uppers to be shaped before sewing.
It was late at night.
It gets dark early in the winter here, and many families in the military compound have turned off the lights and gone to sleep.
The little black dog in the yard barked from time to time, and gradually became quiet.
Tong Shiyu got into bed first.
When Ma Siqing lay down, Tong Shiyu hugged Ma Siqing.
Tong Shiyu kissed Ma Siqing all over, then took off his shirt and let Ma Siqing see the scars on his body.
"What, what is this?" Ma Siqing touched the wounds with tears.
"This is your man's merit on the border. My regiment commander rose step by step with these injuries."
"I couldn't find you, so I thought I would become an official and return to Danjiang, so I could use my connections to find you again." "
After running that morning, I planned to go to the Danjiang Public Security Bureau to find you."
"How can you find me if you don't know any information about me?"
"I'll start by looking for the residents in that alley, and I'll always find the right one."
"What if you can't find me after searching that alley?" Ma Siqing asked.
"Then I'll come back and continue to earn merits. I'll be a brigade commander, demobilized and return to the local area, and then look for you again."
Seeing Ma Siqing's tears falling like beans, Tong Shiyu wanted to wipe them away with his rough hands, but he was afraid that his hands would hurt her.
He had to pick up his shirt and wipe away Ma Siqing's tears bit by bit.
"Siqing, don't cry. I, I can't speak. If I make you unhappy, don't take it to heart."
"I'm not sad, I'm happy, so happy that I'm crying. Do your wounds still hurt? I know a doctor in Danjiang who can treat this kind of wound. Next time we go back, I'll take you to see her."
Ma Siqing's hands were still stroking the scars, and the stroking turned into caressing.
Tong Shiyu's blood was boiling.
"Siqing, can I, can I?"
Ma Siqing nodded shyly.
The kang was full of spring.
Tong Shiyu finally understood what Commander Zhang said: When love is strong, things will come naturally.
Although the two were nervous, they still experienced beauty.
Ma Siqing endured the pain. Seeing the expression on Ma Siqing's face, Tong Shiyu didn't know whether to continue or stop.
"Brother Shiyu, it's okay. It will be fine in a while."
A night of love.
