Chapter 85 A Short Separation Is Better Than a New Marriage

When Tong Shiyu came back, Chen Xiaowei came home.

Tong Shiyu learned from Chen Xiaowei that Ma Siqing went to the town to mail a letter to Sulan, and complained to Chen Xiaowei why he asked Ma Siqing to go to the town to mail the letter, couldn't their troops mail it for her?

Chen Xiaowei scratched his head and said that he had never mailed a letter before, and had forgotten that he could mail it without going to the post office.

Tong Shiyu asked about Ma Siqing's situation in the army for more than half a month, and Chen Xiaowei did not hide it, saying that the house was deliberately set on fire, and the wallpaper was burned, and what you see now is a new wall paper.

He also said that it was fortunate that Ma Siqing was smart and put out the fire with mud and ash in time, otherwise the house would no longer be habitable.

Chen Xiaowei also quietly told Tong Shiyu that the things that were burned in the house were later re-bought by Commander Zhang with his own money.

With a look that showed that he understood, Tong Shiyu knew that this matter was related to Zhang Xiangling.

Before returning, Tong Shiyu had learned through the radio that Commander Zhang had left Anling, and he was very sorry that he could not see Commander Zhang off.

Chen Xiaowei said seriously: "If you want to live a good life with your sister-in-law, you'd better break up with Commander Zhang in the future! Otherwise that ignorant girl will not give up on you."

"I told Commander Zhang a long time ago that I don't have any romantic feelings for Zhang Xiangling, and I also said that I would wait for Siqing. If I can't wait in six years, I will wait for ten years. If I can't wait in ten years, I will wait for twenty years."

"I have never given Zhang Xiangling any misunderstanding! You also know that every time I go back to visit my relatives, I look for Siqing."

"I know you don't have that kind of thought, but you are always hanging around Zhang Xiangling. How can you let her forget you? With the way you are, she will remember you for the rest of her life, right?"

"She went to Beijing, and she won't bother me and Siqing anymore."

Chen Xiaowei sighed and mentioned that Zhang Xiangling had a disabled leg.

Tong Shiyu was shocked and asked Chen Xiaowei what happened.

Chen Xiaowei told him mysteriously what happened that day.

Finally, Chen Xiaowei raised his doubts: "Brother Shiyu, my sister-in-law went to the forest farm to collect firewood that day. I asked my sister-in-law, and the trap that Zhang Xiangling fell into was just behind the firewood my sister-in-law was collecting."

"Do you think there is any connection between the two?"

Tong Shiyu's mind worked quickly. Ma Siqing did not say anything, and she definitely did not want to embarrass Commander Zhang.

"Xiaowei, let's stop this matter and don't mention it again. Anyway, we won't be able to meet again in the future."

"Brother Shiyu, I think you still have to be careful. That girl is not an easy person to deal with. She must be very angry after breaking her leg this time! What if she sneaks back from Beijing?"

"Don't worry, Commander Zhang will never let this happen again." After

the two of them finished talking about the matter, Chen Xiaowei left.

After a while, Ma Siqing struggled to carry the bag into the military compound.

Seeing the lights on in her house, she knew that Tong Shiyu had returned, and she was happy and quickened her pace.

As soon as she reached the door, Ma Siqing called Tong Shiyu: "Brother Shiyu, I'm back, come and help me take down my things, I really have no strength."

Tong Shiyu heard Ma Siqing's call and took two steps at a time. He first carried Ma Siqing home, put her on the kang, and then carried the things into the house.

When Tong Shiyu put the things away, Ma Siqing had already taken off her cotton padded jacket and hat.

Seeing the woman he had been thinking about, Tong Shiyu could no longer bear his longing for her and hugged Ma Siqing tightly.

"Siqing, you've suffered. I already know what happened these days. Are you okay? Come, let me see."

"Brother Shiyu, I'm fine. I was in the kitchen when the fire started. Fortunately, I discovered it quickly and put out the fire."

"How can you be so smart? I'm so lucky to have a good wife."

"Fortunately, there was unused mud and sand in the kitchen, and I stockpiled a lot of wood ash. I originally wanted to use it as fertilizer to grow some vegetables and melons next spring, but I didn't expect it to be used for another purpose in advance."

"Did you build this house by yourself?"

"Commander Zhang sent people to paste the wallpaper, and I added another layer. It's too cold here in winter. Do you think the house is warm now?"

"Well, when I got home today, the stove was still burning, and the house was much warmer than before."

"Shiyu, I went to Sanchagou School to look for a job today. I wanted to be a teacher there, but they didn't want me. I want to have a job so that I can reduce your burden."

"Siqing, you just stay at home. I will give you my salary in the future."

"You still have to save some money, in case the world changes in the future."

Next year, the movement will gradually begin the liquidation work, and the days of hardship will soon be over.

"I'll ask for you some other day and find you a job in the army."

"Is there a factory in Fuyuan Town? I can go to the factory to get odd jobs and do them at home. I'm not bad at sewing clothes."

"There's no factory, only the forest farm. Oh, by the way, there should be work you can do at the forest farm. I have a good relationship with Director Du of the forest farm factory. I'll go ask after work tomorrow."

"Okay! It's getting dark, let's cook!"

"Well, I'll cook today, you just help to light the fire."

"Okay, let's eat your cooking today."

Ma Siqing bought rice today and wanted to eat rice porridge.

Tong Shiyu washed the rice and cooked rice porridge.

He also fried two eggs and stewed cabbage and half a pound of meat.

After it was done, it was served on the table. The two of them ate and chatted, and the taste of home was on the table.

However, Tong Shiyu felt that the food he cooked was far less delicious than that cooked by Ma Siqing, and he looked apologetic.

However, Ma Siqing ate very happily, as if the food was delicious. But Tong Shiyu knew that Ma Siqing had suffered a lot, and any food tasted delicious to her.

After the meal, they washed the dishes together, cleaned the kitchen, and washed themselves. Ma Siqing checked Tong Shiyu's clothes and socks under the light and found that they were worn out.

She did not dare to ask Tong Shiyu how far he had walked and what dangers he had experienced. She

silently sewed and mended Tong Shiyu's clothes.

Looking at the busy Ma Siqing, Tong Shiyu felt satisfied and happy.

"Brother Shiyu, you should read more books. I have re-knitted your sweater, and only half of the sleeve is missing. The original one was burnt. It will be almost wearable tomorrow."

"Siqing, it's great to have you."

"Brother Shiyu, I am also very happy to have you."

"By the way, Brother Shiyu, that day Aunt Feng and I were picking firewood at the forest farm, and a large pile of repaired firewood rolled down the slope. A worker named Cheng Fuqing from the forest farm saved us. I want to thank him another day."

"I should. Let's buy some things and find time to thank him."

"This guy is a bit strange. He always shows up when we need him. He came to help me push the cart several times. I feel like he knows me and is very kind to me."

"Do you know anyone with the surname Cheng?"

Ma Siqing thought for a while. No one with the surname Cheng had entered her life in this life, but in the last life?
